Satellite A500-19 q: Win 7 does not-UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME

HY everybody,

I work for 2 months with my new race A500-19 q Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
Last night the system was regularly interrupted with the command "shutdown" of windows.
Today, the machine does not load win 7 in all.

If I let the work load, the system reached the blue screen with "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME".
If I try to restore the system with the recovery dvd made some time ago by the Toshiba utility him begins to load information, but after some research on hard drive, he stops with black screen and the cursor arrow, but nothing else.

I downloaded and burt disk repair Windows 7 64 bit, but as already sad, starting the system of loading but it does not get to the end.
So it seems impossible to carry out the command "chkdsk /f.

What should I do finally?
Thank you

Hello

The cursor blinking in the upper left corner means that something might be wrong with the HARD drive or partition on the HARD drive.
I had this problem a few years ago on my laptop and in my case that the HARD drive is dead, it was a head crash.

In any case, I think you should check if the HARD drive can be formatted using another disc
You can try a Linux live CD or something like that

  • Satellite A500-148 turns on but does not start

    Hi all, I have a Satellite A500-148 from a friend who asked me to take a peek, it turns on, but does boot when I press the following power button occurs:
    -The power button and the charger are on and the hdd led only flashes once
    -The fan comes on for about 3 seconds
    -No image on the screen, I indicated a light against it, but there is really no image

    Tried to reset by pressing the button for 30 seconds without the changer is plugged.

    I disassembled it and noticed that this laptop has an external video card, so my question is, who's broken the video card or the motherboard.

    Thank you

    To be honest I don't understand this with an external video card. Can you describe how you mean exactly?
    In any case, on this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis. You can try the little test and remove this external adapter, RAM and HARD disk, and try to start again.

    Ask your friend if he had something that may be responsible for this.

    One last thing: laptop stays in r might have turned off after a certain time?

    I have a Satellite A500 - 14 H with the big remote control, but it doesn't work.
    Can someone help me?
    I installed the remote control manager, but no change. He still does not!

    I assume that you got your laptop with preinstalled operating system.
    Have you tested the feature with the parameters of this plant?

    Is remote controller completely dead or some functions do not work?

  • Re: Satellite A500 (PSAR9E) battery - plugged in, does not support

    Yesterday, I noticed that my battery is at 74% - plugged in but not charging. Laptop not working ok, no problem.
    Before this problem occurred, I started it upward, he worked for 10 minutes on the battery without connected charger.

    Then it just stops what it self. I thought that maybe the battery was low so I plugged it on. After a while, I noticed that it does not load, I have it plugged into power-it shuts down as there is no current battery. Tried to remove the battery, plugged into the cable from the Jack, put back them, the battery cable, it starts and still nothing... Today it of about 72% and still does not support... Laptop is 2 years old. Battery has been working great until now.

    Please help if you know the solution, thank you!

    What to say?

    Start the laptop without battery and when the windows are fully charged put the battery in place.
    I imagine that the battery will be recognized correctly. Is the same situation when this happens?

    It will be interesting to know how it works with a new battery. At the moment, we can say more about it. The problem is battery or maybe electronic power?

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here.

  • Satellite A500-1FQ-harman/kardon speakers does not work

    The left speaker does not work. When I watch a movie for example it works for awhile but then it works for a few seconds and stops or it stops working completely.

    However, when I plug my headphones all right.
    Is that what I can do myself to fix the problem or do I directly send my laptop directly to the warranty?

    I recommend you to check the functionality of speakers using preinstalled Toshiba PC diagnostic tool.

    If one of the speakers is still cut off and doesn t work I assume that there is hardware problem and should be fixed by the authorized service provider.
    Warranty is still valid?

  • Satellite A500-1GL - service Intel RST does not

    Hi all

    Looks like I'll have a series of problems. I just noticed this message on my Satellite A500-1GL and I was wondering what this means and how do I solve it? When I clicked it, I got a pop up saying that he was trying to connect to the service, but nothing happened. I don't know the logo normally has a green but now has a yellow check! I tried a reboot, but it remains the same.

    Can someone explain what it is and what I need to do to fix it?

    Thanks a lot again
    Torti

    Hi torti,.

    I put also don't know much about it but I searched a bit using Google, and it seems that Intel RST means Intel Rapid Storage Manager for hard disks.

    If you Google, you will be advised to reinstall in page Intel or Toshiba.

    As you can see, Google can answer most of the questions. ;)

    Brand-new Satellite L50-C03E laptop pad touch does not work. Upgrade to Windows 10. Tried using all combinations of F5, FN & F5, don't hit to swipe and checking settings and nothing works.

    I guess you can use external USB mouse.
    Connect it to the laptop and uninstall the old touchpad software / driver for Windows 10 system. You should find it in Control Panel → programs and features.

    After the the touchpad driver has been removed, restart the laptop and win 10 updates.

    It would be very interesting to know if this solution allows you to get the touchpad working again.
