• Satellite A500 will not start - cannot access BIOS

  Hello

  This morning, I got my satellite a500-1GH. I activated the option "quick start" in the bios and can not enter the bios since the screen jump the "f2" for the parameters and f12 for the boot menu and I can't get into the bios.

  I tried press f2, as soon as I turn on the computer but it dosent get into the bios menu.

  And also the custom of the bone rises, the stack of the screen in 'bbs-hard disk... boot. "and it stay like that until I shut down the computer.

  Please help me here...
  Thank you!

  Hello

  To me it seems strange that you can not enter the Bios. I just suggest you plug the keyboard external usb and try to enter the Bios (maybe, for some reasons allowing the quick start, the laptop keyboard doesn't work pressing f2). Then try to remove the hard drive and check.

  I've no idea what to say, maybe other users will also suggest something.

• Satellite A500 - does not start correctly

  Hi guys,.
  Sorry if this is a re-post, but I couldn't find any information.

  Basically, I went to turn on my computer laptop thisarvo and the led lights up and stays on, the HARD Drive LED lights for a second and the fan starts a second but then the laptop is right there with a white screen and the power light on.

  I managed to get it started once and restored to factory settings. Stop it, went to restart and its still doing the same thing.

  Any help will be much apreciated.

  + model - Satellite A500/02 PSAR9A - S 02 001 +.

  Hey Buddy,

  Hmm... I think it sounds like a hardware malfunction and Windows installation should not affect the start-up of the laptop. Right now equipment is checked and starts and it has nothing to do with the version of Windows installed.

  Here in the forum FAQ/How-to section, I found an interesting announcement and it might be useful for you:

  Otherwise you would need professional help from an ASP.  :(

• Re: Satellite U400 - failed to start the system recovery

  I have a Satellite U400-PSU44E and Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit preinstalled and having some problems with my computer, had decided to use the hidden partition on the hard drive to fix the system.
  I chose 'Repair your computer' (or something similar to this), but having done, a message tells me that,

  "The installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer. »

  I don't know why that is. Can anyone help? It would be greatly appreciated.

  The Partition Recovery seems to be defective. You can order the replacement of Toshiba recovery disks. Which country are you?

  Another possibility could be that the HARD drive has failed. in this case, you will need to send the system to an ASP for repair.

• Satellite A500 will not start

  I have an A500 on 12 months old that will not start.

  The battery light shows white and power on AC light is on as well.
  When button "power on" is pressed and released the laptop IT flashes briefly then the battery lights up orange briefly and the light goes out.

  Battery has been divested of the case and it was completely discharged and it still will not with or without the battery. He has been connected to a different power of toshiba with the same results.

  The difficulty feeding saw two days ago. After that about 10 minutes to load then turned on.

  I saw a post where the guy was acquitted of the internal cmos memory and he ends up - which would have something to do with it?

  Any clues anyone?

  Hello

  I think that it s something wrong with the motherboard or a part of the motherboard.
  The point is this laptop should turns on even if the battery is empty and the power adapter is plugged so maybe it s something wrong with the memory supply or electronic power on the motherboard.

  I recommend you check the parts of memory first. Remove a module and try to start the device using that one module.

  Of course this can not help you too... so in this case, it could be a severe motherboard issue...

• Satellite L300 - fails to start and freezes

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba L300 Salelite, comes up with the screen saying: Windows could not start because of a recent hardware or software change might be the cause, the options are to run the Startup Repair (which freezes when selected, screen goes fuzzy), or to start windows normally, which also causes screen freeze and go blurry.

  I tried to connect to an external monitor, but same thing happens.

  Op system is XP, laptop computer is about 15 months.

  Hey,.

  If startup repair freezes too I think that Windows Setup is confusing upward and you need to reinstall the system

  You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, you can start to recover to factory settings. The disk will wipe the entire HARD drive and reinstalling Windows all drivers with the tools of the recovery image on the disc. Just follow the instructions on the screen, most is done automatically, should click on next sometimes all that s! :)

• Satellite A500-1GL - cannot start Windows

  Hello

  I was rebuilding my laptop with a new installation of Windows 7 64-bit and after all was in charge he has restarted and sitting at the prior loading screen that says "HARD BBS-disk Boot" it used now to go further than that. Also, when I look at the BIOS settings, I lost the ability to boot from USB, which is how I loaded W7.

  The problem is everything I try my laptop bluescreens OR it just sits at BBS-HDD.

  I even tried a copy of XP that I had, but nothing seems to work. (This is what the blue screens laptop)

  Is anyone able to help me with that and it would be useful to buy Toshiba reinstalling drive because I don't have the original I did.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  See you soon

  Tracy

  Hello

  Have you already tried to install Windows from the Toshiba Recovery disk? It contains a pre-tested image of factory with all the drivers and tools, so it should always work.

  If not it material s serious malfunction and you need assistance from an authorized service provider.

• Satellite A500 / 01 K - Web Camera error: "couldn't start the Application.

  I have a satellite A500 / 01 K running under Windows 7 64-bit. I get an error when I try to use my webcam; "Application has failed to start because the side-by-side configuration is incorrect." I tried updating the driver through the Device Manager, and I tried redownloading and installing the application on the Toshiba site, nothing helps.

  Hi balooneybob,

  You get this error message if you want to use your webcam with webcam application or another program like Skype example?

  The webcam is listed correctly in the Device Manager?

  Before using the webcam with Skype or another messenger I recommend to close the Toshiba webcam software. You can only use the webcam with a program only at the same time.

• 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?

• Satellite A500 - 19 X - itself starts

  Hello

  I recently bought for a Toshiba Satellite A500-19 x and it's a great computer, but every now and then it powers itself up against the cold.

  I tried to test several times. I'll use it for a while and do a "Shut Down" on windows, but every now and then it lights. Often I will go off it before going to sleep and when I wake the computer is on standby by and do not start the system when I know that I made a SHUT DOWN. I also tried using Hibernate and various permutations but still no joy.

  I tried to read a simular thread
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=51374&start=15&TSTART=0

  This is the same thing, but I'll try to find a BIOS update file.

  Anyone know whay this is happening because it's very disheartening, after spending so much money on what o appeared to be a portable grand

  Thanks in advance. Kuldip

  Hi mate,

  I had a similar problem on my laptop that it powers on himself. Then I went into BIOS and disabled the following features:
  -Wake up on LAN
  -Wake up on keyboard
  Sleep - USB & Charge

  Now this didn't get more and if I could save the battery power a little more.

  In addition, the FAQ section here also shows an interesting article:
  [What I would do if my laptop starts only at 08:20 hours daily? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=76]

  So also try updating the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba European driver download page. :)

• Satellite A500 - 1C0 - Bluetooth monitor does not start

  Hello
  I noticed that a new Bluetooth monitor was released for my Satellite A500 - 1 c 0 and so I tried to use it.

  First, I downloaded the Bluetooth stack and Bluetooth screen and install it. As soon as I restarted my computer loaded Windows system default Bluetooth service. I tried to manually start the monitor installed, so I tried a Bluetooth Monitor and it came, but nothing happened. Ultimately the only way to get the old dos application had to use system restore. When I restored it to the previous system I just installed Bluetooth Monitor without installing Bluetooth Stack, and there it is again. I only use Windows Bluetooth utility.

  How can I disable the utility and use Bluetooth Monitor from Toshiba or I can do it by default? It does not even start.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop C850-B991 Satellite, I can't start Windows and get the message "Check Media [Fail]" on a black screen, I can not also start for the installation of windows media, or install a new version of windows.

  How can I fix this please? I do not have the recovery media (DVD)

  You can enter the BIOS settings?

  If Yes, set it please to the default settings and try again.
  Check please if the HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings.

• Satellite A500 - Windows won't start, how to get back now?

  Hello guys,.

  Recently, a week, I bought a new Satellite A500 - 1HK. I installed everything and after I installed Office 2007, after restarting my PC put on the Windows 7 Logo. PLS, please note that at this time one had a connected external HARD disk. It was my first mistake.

  My second mistake was that after 5 minutes of inactivity, I turned off my PC (no closures) and that's it. My PC has crashed completely.

  My third mistake was that I did not since the recovery disks, and unfortunately I don't have the recovery CD. The recovery program his on a partition separate from my laptop. I tried to solve the problem as follows: I start the PC, press F8 and I went into the repair menu. The first time after the repair, nothing had happened. After that, I tried to go to the recovery option. I choose the American language and press ENTER. Nothing had happened. the screen displays an error saying: you must login to access the System Recovery Options. If you encounter problems to connect, contact your administrator to the computer for help. Click ok to restart the computer.

  The only thing I can imagine is that the recovery partition crashed also. What can I do now? I ordered alrweady the Toshiba restore CD and waits for the next 2 weeks.
  What is your opinion. That's happened? I hope that the rexcovery program will work with CD and I don't face any problem, no more.

  Thank you.
  Leonardos

  Hey Buddy,

  > I have ordered alrweady the Toshiba Recovery CD
  So in my opinion, your question is already answered. Juice wait the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  If work HDD recovery doesn't, your only option is the Toshiba recovery disc and now it s time to wait. I m you will get the disk as soon as possible.

  Good luck! :)

• Re: Satellite A300 sometimes fails to start

  My Satellite A300 sometimes fails on start when displaying a logo of Toshiba.
  I don't know why. Y at - it a touch to show a p.o.s.t. tests?

  Sorry for my English.

  Hello

  You can change in the BIOS the option to boot from normal to fast.
  I think that this will disable the Red Toshiba log and show you the post screen.
  But to be honest, I don't know if this could be help full.
  In any case, if the laptop is unable to pass on the MESSAGE, something might be wrong on the motherboard; the modules, memory example or similar
