Satellite A500 will not start - cannot access BIOS

• 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...

  When I press F2 or F12, nothing happens the computer laptop stops booting, even the HDD light flashes).
  I can't get into the BIOS!

  If I do not press a button any after power on, then Windows Vista starts Ok.
  Two months after F12 I could choose the Boot by USB - entrance.

  Please, help me to solve it.

  When you see the Toshiba logo on the screen you see in the background statement: Press F2...?

  This happens for the first time?
  Might have turned quick-start option?
  Check this please. Open Toshiba assist > optimize > HWsetup > boot priority > make sure bot speed is set to normal.

• L50-A-19N satellite will not start in the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop.
  I have installed 8.1 and fedora 20 windows.

  I was in fedora, when I decided to restart Windows.
  Instead of grub, I saw message with the error and my notebook has stopped booting.

  I pressed the power button / stop, he died but when Im trying to start it again, I see the logo of Toshiba Leading Innovation and that's it.

  It will not start any further.
  I decided to get my system, but when I press F2 or F12, nothing happens.
  I can't get into the BIOS!

  Please, help me to solve it.

  Somehow, this seems really strange
  I m wondering why you are unable to access the BIOS

  What you can try to do is, remove the laptop HARD drive and switch on and press F2.
  From my point of view of the rare even if the isn't HARD drive connected, you should be able to access the BIOS.

  But for Pierre, I'm not very well your laptop problem is related to the faulty / corrupt Boot partition m

  However, your comments would be greatly appreciated

• Satellite A40 will not start or start the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite A40 2 days ago decided to turns off while I was on the internet, and now it does not restart. I tried removing the battery and leave overnight, but it still will not start. When give you it power outlet, the AC LED is green and if you press the button power turns on the green power light, but that's all, the HARD drive light does not illuminate, the fan does not come on, no sound from the HARD drive and nothing on the screen, not even the backlight. You can also feel the heatsink gets hot (without excess however)

  If you insert a CD, you can here read the disc, and find things out there, too, now the power button still cut off the laptop.

  If anyone has any advice on what may be the cause, or any way I can get the machine to reboot again, that would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if pictures or anything else appears on the second monitor?

  Your description sounds like the malfunctioning of the internal display, but it is only a suggestion and a few trials are required to obtain a diagnosis right.

• Re: Satellite U300 will not start

  The machine has failed at a conference while using only the word and not on any network.

  Now the machine will not start orrepair and even the recovery disk will not work. He gets to the part where he asked for the language and then freezes on the next screen. I ran a disc hard diagnosis progam which reports no errors but I don't know enough about such things.

  The drive light flashed hard and I can hear the work of the reader, but nothing happens.

  Help, please

  Hello!

  It's strange, but in your case I would try to format the HARD drive before using the recovery disk.
  There, you can use the Microsoft Windows XP disk or another tool that allows you to format the HARD drive.

  If you have formatted the drive HARD try again with the Toshiba recovery disc.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro L300 will not start after the Bios Update

  Help please.

  I simply formatted laptop Satellite Pro L300.
  I used all the drivers updated Toshiba and everything is fine.

  I then updated the bios with the latest version.
  After this laptop computer is unbootable but continues to scroll through the start menu and any which option to choose it just keeps doing the same.

  The ides welcome

  Hey Buddy,

  What start menu, you mean?

  I put t understand how it is possible until you wrote that your laptop does not start?

• Satellite L300D will not start

  Hello

  I have a satellite L300D 11v. Power I have three lights green, power, suite and battery, DVD looking for some time nothing happens.

  Tried many things.
  Interchangeability and remove the ram with restarts
  Removing and replacing HD
  Remove the battery, hold the power button for a minute then power application and try to turn on,.
  As above with the battery.
  None of the above has worked, I suspect either of the BIOS chip lost his memory or it is fried.
  I will try to reinstall the BIOS memory, but without the work of the OS I'm not sure how do.
  And I'm not sure that the update of the BIOS I downloaded from Toshiba is correct because of the manual I downloaded was the L350, and yes I have enter the correct details to try three times. Neither seem to be able to know which is the BIOS. I would be grateful if someone could suggest what's wrong with the laptop or the update of the BIOS with the laptop in its current state. And if anyone knows what variant of the BIOS, is that I would also be grateful for this information.

  P.S. I noticed that the same problem was raised on August 12, 2012 with no resolution found.

  On this virtual path t is not easy to offer accurate diagnosis and to say with certainty what the problem is here, but somehow, I think that your BIOS chip is damaged. BIOS update will not help you with that.
  When you start your laptop is stays on or turns off after a certain period of time?

• Satellite L30 does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I upgraded my BIOS Satellite L30 and now the laptop will not boot. When I turn on the fan starts and that's it. I think I have updated the book with the bad BIOS... The laptop is only 1 day old... Is it possible to reset the machine to the default BIOS.

  Help, please...

  Hi Scott,.

  Unfortunately there is no easy way for you to go to your BIOS to its previous level. You need to entrust your laptop to a Service approved partner who has the necessary equipment to Flash the BIOS to the previous level.

  Kind regards

• 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:
  https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/forumdispla...W-to-documents

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

• Satellite A65 will not start and I get only the blue screen!

  When I start my satellite A65 a blue screen comes up saying "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
  It says to check if I have enough disk space or to disable or update the driver, if a pilot has been mentioned in the stop message... or to check the updates to the bios...
  I can type everything that said if I need, but the jist

  The world is - that sound familiar at all?
  It may be because I was not updated enough when he told me to.
  It does not start, not even on safe mode, and it won't let me not restore, which I would be perfectly willing to do at this point.

  help, please

  Hello

  The blue screen of death usually occurs because of the serious software problem or due to malfunction of the equipment.
  In your case, it looks more like something wrong with the hardware. Why, because you're not able to restore the laptop from the recovery CD Toshiba delivered!

  Need buddy? I think that the laptop should be verified.
  Try to contact an ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

  Good luck

• Satellite U500 will not start

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Toshiba U500 after I installed additional 2GBs of ram that the laptop does not start.
  He died immediately after, after I press the turn on button.

  The leds blink normally.
  I already tried to remove the new RAM and tested new and old memorys in different locations.

  I also tried to reset the bios by removing the cmos battery, but it seems that you cannot be disconnected.

  Any help would be appreciated.
  Sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance.

  Hi mate

  Notepad starts correctly using the old modules shipped with the laptop?

  In my opinion, you bought RAM that is not fully compatible with the laptop or BIOS.
  In this case, you should test the device with other modules of RAM of the manufacture of some users here in the forum reported problems with the essential modules I use Kingston modules and my notebook starts fine

• Satellite A100 will not start

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-151, which does not start.

  A batery 11 times blink when I press the a/c power and nothing happens.
  Before that, I pressed too many keys f1 - f12 because it has stopped responding and a blue screen (memory error in the kernel) appeared.

  I tried:
  out/HDD, memory slot, battery and tried also reset with the AC button pressed without the battery.
  Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

  Best regards

  As you know on this virtual path is not easy to say what the problem is here, but after reading your ad, I think there must be a problem with electronic control gear. It is placed on the motherboard.

  Problem is that work around is quite limited and I can see what you have already tried all the logical steps to check if computer laptop will be able to start on a path.

  I'm afraid it is worth noting that you can do except to communicate with the service of Toshiba and ask help from m.

  After a while the normal cell work once again.
  The system is virus free VAC to moy.
  Windows defender is disabled.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  On this virtual path, it is not possible to say why this is happening. E don t know which OS you are using, which additional applications installed, things runs in the background, external devices are connected to your laptop, and how have you configured preinstalled OS.
  In your message there is no unique information that can tell us anything on your laptop if your laptop is virus-free.

  I put t really know how to start the discussion.
  Are you using the original pre-installed OS?
  Does this happen if still the same application is running?
