Satellite A300 - no activity after the Toshiba homepage

I have a weird question I have not met before.

When the laptop is turned on, you get the Toshiba splash screen, pressing f2 gets you into BIOS, f12 allows to you in the start menu, both these menus work fine.

However, no matter what happened it just gives a black screen, for example, if I had to choose the network boot as the first option of starting, or cd-rom or hard drive.

I tried the following troubleshooting steps

1 removed HDD/DVD and tried to network boot - nothing
2 reset BIOS default checked startup items have been correctly
3 removed ram and ram equipped of well-known work, tried both slots
4 removed the battery and drained static
5 attempt to recover the bios using the diskette (results in the same black screen when you try to start it)

No bios updates were never ran before, all the client has tried to do was to connect the laptop to a projector.

Any ideas?

Thank you
Jon Roberts

Hi Jon Roberts,

Why do you update the BIOS?

If nothing works after the Toshiba screen it appears to be a malfunction of the equipment. You must contact the nearest authorized service provider for professional assistance. You guys can check the cell phone and fix it.
In addition, the Toshiba site, you will find a list of all FSA.

Good luck! :)

  • Re: Satellite P870 - screen flickers for a while after the Toshiba homepage

    My new Toshiba Satellite P870 starts with screen blinking 1, 2 or 3 times with each start, exactly AFTER. Toshiba, Leading Innovation Logo starts.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you in advance!

    I put t know what it looks like, but as something like this shouldn't happen. If you have any new laptop contact your dealer as soon as possible, explain the situation and ask for replacement.

    If you are not satisfied with your product, you can get replacement. In my client countries have 14 days to do so.

  • Satellite A300 (PSAJ0E) - update after the BIOS, I can't start

    Hello

    I have an A30, and I tried a bios update to 4.2 which is the latest version for my model. BIOS update went well spent, that it prompted me to restart the laptop once the process is complete, but after this, I was not able to start. I made the screen where I can enter the BIOS Setup (that I can actually do and I am able to change the settings and save them) but after that the screen goes black and it crashes.

    At first, I thought I did something wrong and upgrade does not work well, then I started looking for the bios crisis recovery methods, I found this article:
    http://CRD.Y1.cc/
    After the steps, I managed to get my USB floppy drive works and, hopefully, flashing the BIOS, but it didn't help it would always hang at the same stage.

    My laptop has a warranty expired, so I can't fix it for free, and the service will probably cost me half of its price. Is there anything else I can do to get it fixed?

    I thought to Flash an older version of bios - perhaps the last 4.2 is not really compatible with my model, but I couldn't find everything... is it possible to get an older version of bios and give it a try with a floppy drive?

    Thank you
    Anton

    *@DCRM*
    You have a laptop A300D. It s a series different and, therefore, you couldn't t use the BIOS files designed for A300 series!
    This may damage the module ROM and mobo!
    You can find the latest version of the BIOS on the Toshiba European page of the driver... otherwise, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance, or an older version of BIOS.

    > My Toshiba won't start...
    Why? What is the problem here? What did you do? Usually, something like this can happen without reason.
    Have you tried to update the BIOS or what?

    What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?
    Try to remove the RAM and HARD drive and try again.

  • Satellite Pro L300 freezes on the Toshiba homepage

    When he put on then get frozen screen toshiba so impossible to go to safemode etc...

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    This means that your laptop can not pass the POST (Power On Self Test).

    Self test is a rapid diagnostic test that checks the motherboard and connected devices
    Theoretically, what could cause this problem faulty motherboard, RAM failure, etc.

    In your case, I recommend you remove the RAM modules and check the simple modules.
    You can try to remove only a single module. Check the two modules by using this procedure

    Otherwise, you will need assistance from professional technician that the guy could run tests to find out what part is malfunctioning...

  • Re: satellite A300 screen turns off after the toshiba logo, will not boot from the CD/DVD

    Hello, I have this problem with Toshiba satellite A300.

    I deleted several files and folders of my drives C and E. To restart the computer, it only shows the Toshiba logo then a slightly gray white screen on a thorough inspection. Whenever I press CRL + ALT + DELETE, the computer restarts and behaves in the same way.

    I tried to use an external monitor, but there is no difference. The tent to start using a CD/DVD, same behaviour occurs, it does not start and screen remains blank after the Toshiba logo, I tried even to change g the order of boot, but in vain.

    What could happen?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It seems that you deleted system files and Windows no longer starts. Have you tried to restore the disk image factory settings or hard drive recovery? Or do copy the Windows installation... It is easier to reinstall rather fix the problem.

  • Satellite M40 - 129 stops starting after the Toshiba screen

    Hello
    My M40 continues sometimes to start after the Toshiba screen. He stops and all I see is the blinking cursor. No Error Message or something else and normal boot from the HARD drive. Boot from CD (for example. Œuvres of Knoppix). This problem sometimes occurs and traceable for me isn´t.

    Best regards
    Spoony

    Hey Spoony

    Unfortunately on this path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Each user has a specific configuration OS and we don t know how your operating system is configured.

    You can boot OS in safe mode? If Yes check what the problem may be a little. If there is anything you can do I recommend you save all your data and preinstall unit using rescue media. If you do this I recommend also to create two partitions.

    Don t compare WXP and Linux startup procedure. As you know that Knoppix using just the RAM and no HARD drive for the race.

  • Satellite A300 - grayish colors on the screen

    Where to play games on my Satellite A300 (PSAGCA-02W010) and looking at photos of all colors seem a bit dull and grayish. When I called they said them it could be "limits the display" and I could have looked but I would be charged $120 if it was because of the limitations, I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems with screens.

    It looks like my companion of hewlett packard LCD display which is very old.

    Any advice would be helpful!

    I have Satellite A300 and colors on the display are clear and bright.
    What games do you play? Something in the dark?
    Have you noticed the same thing if you use Vista OS for the daily work as Web-based applications or in the office?

  • Satellite M70 - black screen after the installation of recovery

    So far, what I did is put in the Recovery DVD - ROM product. Then when my computer restarts I was invited to restore my computer failing and said. After that he went through this process, that he told me to remove the disc that I did. Now he only get a black screen after the Toshiba screen that gives me options f2 for Setup and f12 for options.

    I don't know what to do now to make my laptop works again. Help, please.

    Hi Zach_1,

    Have you tried to launch the installation of recovery again? Maybe that something was wrong during the first installation, it might have arrived
    Then retry the recovery facility and see what happens.

    If it doesn't work you should try a normal Microsoft disk so determine if the problem is related to hardware or recovery disk.

  • Satellite A300-1MH - cannot start the eSATA external HARD disk drive

    When I connect eSATA disk HARD Satellite A300 is locked and the HARD drive is not detected. I tried to connect the HARD drive with both eSATA - SATA + USB power cable Cable when it is powered OFF with the same locked A300 result.
    Reloading utility chipset change anything.

    PS. on another computer same portable HARD drive works fine in both previous cases
    Thanks for the attention
    Fabio

    AFAIK, the chipset drivers are responsible for the usb, esata functions but you already reinstalled it. Have you tried to remove the chipset drivers in Device Manager and reinstall again? If still does not solve your problem, it may be the operating system itself. Using the preinstalled operating system or Windows disk?

    2. Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.
    3. Select the Windows Vista activation method that you want, and then follow the instructions.

  • Satellite A300-1IK - installation after Windows I can't use the multimedia keys

    I tried to clean my laptop, so I installed Windows7 64-bit using my code, but now that I also donwloaded all drivers, I still can't use easy media keys (as for Windows Media Player, or those who must play/stop music, ect..)

    No one knows how to fix this?

    Hi dilettafornasiero,

    I think you forgot to install Toshiba value added Package this package contains the driver for these buttons (lighted) media where you can start Windows media player, for example.

    You should check the Web from Toshiba site again and search for VAP also indicated for Satellite A300. Download and install the package and after I restarted the lighted buttons should start working.

  • Satellite A300-1EG: problem with the touchpad after installing Windows 7

    Hello!

    I had a problem with my touchpad since I installed Windows 7 (64-bit version) on my laptop (Toshiba) A300-1EG.

    I tried many different solutions to this problem.
    I checked the alignment of the touchpad (be it on) in the BIOS, I tried to install several drivers (on a site of Synaptics, automatically by Windows) and none of these work. Of course, I tried FN + F9 key combination.
    When I check the alignment of the touchpad in the Control Panel, everything seems fine. It is written, that "device working properly.

    I have Toshiba Software, what may be the cause of the problem?
    But I have no idea where I can find something.

    I'd appreciate any help.

    I hope to be understandable - English is not my mother tongue :) Thank you very much in advance for any ideas. :)

    Hi mate

    I'm not quite sure what problem you have but you should first try to install the necessary drivers touchpad m.
    Maybe you used the wrong driver in the past

    So Sat A300-1EG belongs to the series of PSAG4E.
    The European driver Toshiba page does not provide a special touchpad driver for Win 7 for this device.

    But I noticed that Win 7 64 bit drivers touchpad (Alps & Synaptics) for Satellite L500 PSLS3E series is released on the European driver page.
    Try both drivers Touch Pad for this device and test it!
