• Satellite U300-13U does not start and the recovery disc fails to too much work

  Hi all

  I have the above computer (or should I say my wife) & it is nothing that a good pain since the first day we got it.
  I have had it about 2 years & had to reformat the HD at least 6-8 times using the product recovery disc as laptop starts.
  The laptop runs Vista.

  In any case, problem I have now is that new laptop does not start, but for some reason any product recovery disc also does not work...
  What I can do...

  I have read on various forums that it might work if I reformat the HD first using some s/w on a bootable CD but how / what S/W can I use...?
  The laptop has a SATA HD 160 GB installed. How can I check that it all works.
  I don't know if the current problem is S/W or related material...

  Toshiba has a utility that I can use...?

  Thanks a lot for all the help...

  Hello

  What happened exactly?
  Do you receive error messages by using the recovery disk?

  Check if the HARD drive is OK! You can check in the BIOS.
  If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS then the HARD drive and HARD drive found BIOS is not dead.

  Usually, you might start Notepad with the help of a Live disc for example Bart PE
  It s a bootable windows CD/DVD live

  This can allows you to format the HARD disk, and then use the recovery disc!

• HP Pavilion p6210pt desktop PC: after the installation of the new module of RAM PC does not start and continues to beep.

  Hello

  I am trying to upgrade the RAM on my PC. I don't know I got the correct specifications: 240 pin DDR3 PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz

  And it comes to envy, I bought, Kingston.

  The PC has 6 GB of RAM and a free slot, after I insert the new module on the free location corretly and press power, the PC does not start. It starts just a beep and the screen remains black.

  Don't know how better to explain this.

  If I take the new RAM all works normally. If I take old modules and just start by the new, the same thing happens, computer won't start not and just keeps to the beep. One of the Tweets is longer than the other, and then it repeats.

  Can anyone help please, it's just the motherboard it is too old or something?

  Thank you.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  Given that your PC works with the old DIMM modules and not the new dimm then you should contact Kingston for a cure.

• Satellite 5200-902 does not start and several errors

  Hello

  I had a serious problem with my computer.

  While playing a game, the screen become corrupt. It is difficult to describe but basically blocks of colors appeared on the screen and icons became corrupt, lines and points seemed and the screen seems to tremble. The stoppage, the office appeared, and then the corruption of screen appeared again. A Blue Screen of Death appeared, but I couldn't read what he says because the display corrupted again. The laptop then restarted. Ran scan disk and when the computer was upward and the performer said he had just recovered from a mistake serious etc etc. But he did not know what had happened to other than a general driver error.

  At this point, I backed up all my files on my external hard drive.

  The laptop was then suffer from the same issue of corruption to screen again and again, but apparently only after being on for > 5-10 minutes. This time, the BSoD said that it was my graphic drivers and specifically the NV4_disp.dll. So I restored my graphics drivers on the originals included with the computer, but the same error happens again.

  My DVD Multidrive had stopped playing CD a week or two before it (a problem that I was intending to settle). However, mysteriously it started to work again after the first error. So I decided that the only thing I could do was to restore the computer. So I did. However when he asked for the second CD to be inserted the drive does not recognize it (a series of jarring and whirs repetitive of the reader in the same way exactly, that it had been a week or two before; though even when it would not read anything else, would still read DVD about 40% of the time). I tried several times, but meanwhile, the corruption of the display is back!

  I had to cancel the process and the Multidrive still refuses to read the recovery CD and so the laptop computer simlpy cannot be restarted. The most concerning thing now is that the corruption of screen returned when I finally tried to start the computer with the recovery CD - text was corrupted and polyhedral and randomly on the screen. The laptop is now off.

  I fear that it is a hardware failure. I don't see how it could be a virus because one) my anti virus (Norton) was only two or three days from its last update and b) display corruption occurred still even after that the hard drive had been partially formatted by the restore disc, and Windows had not yet started.

  Does anyone have advice? The problem is that I can't boot from the restore disc (unless there is a way to boot from an external CD drive?) and given the corruption of persistent display, I am not yet convinced that that would solve the problem anyway.

  Thank you very much in advance.

  Hello

  I've read about similar problems with the graphic driver or the graphics card of the internet and it happened more often during the game.
  I think it might be an overheating of the graphics card.
  You know that the games are a heavy application that needs a complete service for laptop.
  All portable devices run in this case with a maximum yield and produce a lot of heat.
  I think that it could have a bad influence on the map. As you say the problem appeared after 5-10 min. I think that in this time, the temperature has been increased.

  So I don't know how to help you. I think you should ask the technician for the control of the laptop. Eventually the cooling module must be replaced and if the graphics card has a malfunction, in my opinion, it should be replaced also.

• Satellite C650D - 10K does not start, that means this beep code?

  Hello

  My friend spilled tea on his cell phone, after dry at first, it worked, but now at startup it sounds right: 3 long, 2 short, 3 long and short 2.

  I can't find beep codes documented anywhere, but if someone can tell me what this code is that I can at least decide whether it is worth trying to recover or clean the motherboard with isopropyl alcohol!

  I tested the memory on another laptop and it's good but I can't really test the CPU, or anything else.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  The beep code appears especially if the POSITION cannot be passed correctly.
  If the problem is detected until the BIOS initialize the video card and the code cannot be displayed on the screen of the BIOS will play several beeps.

  Each BIOS supports the meanings of the own beep codes.
  For example BIOS Toshiba beep code is not the same thing as "beep code" Phoenix BIOS.

  As far as I know the Satellite C650 supports a Phoenix BIOS.
  But the BIOS is changed by laptop manufacturer so it would be possible that the beep code are different.
  However, you can try to search in the internet for a description of the code.
  I found this site:
  http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/phoenixbeep.htm

  But in general these problems can be solved easily.
  I recommend you contact a technician with experience huge book to analyze the material in terms of fault possible.

• Satellite Pro 6100 - does not start and displays a diagnostic code

  The 6100 Pro Satellite has stopped working after sitting for two weeks off fresh. A new battery did nothing.

  The usually lights green when the charge now turns orange, but does it also with 4 consecutive games of a long and a blinking short, followed by a pause, followed by another series of flashes, continuously.

  Where can I find what this diagnostic code (I guess)?

  Hello!

  I think that these diagnostic codes that you can find in the manual technique, but this is only available for authorized service providers.

  But you can start the laptop without battery and AC/DC adapter only?
  Maybe you should try to remove the adaptor AC/DC and battery. Wait one hour, then reconnect the two devices. Now, try to start the laptop.

  If it doesn't work I suggest that you should ask a technician for help laptop. It seems to be a hardware malfunction

  Good bye

  Hi guys,.

  I have a satellite l450d - 11g on windows 7 32 bit.
  When I start it, it comes up with a message saying that I need to restore due to a file named: /windows\system32\drivers/msisadrv.sys is missing or corrupt and to insert my disc.

  Well I don't have a disc or anything like that with my computer and ive tried everything.

  Can someone help me atall? I'll be willing to pay, just to get my laptop to the top and runninng again.
  Press f8 and '0' method did not work either.

  Thank you.

  > The f8 and '0' method did not work either.

  Usually, HARD drive recovery option should be available by pressing F8 at the beginning of the startup procedure.
  Then an Advanced Start menu should appear where you could choose fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery

  If this is not possible, then you will need to retrieve the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc.
  The disk can be ordered here:

• Equium A200-1VO does not start and makes weird noises

  My Toshiba Equium A200-1VO don't load on Windows entirely, which means I can't use it. When you turn everything goes well until the Welcome screen in Windows Vista. From there, it starts to get weird creaking and it beeps from time to time. It won't start here and these sounds do not stop.

  Help please

  Hello

  Is it possible to know where the noise comes from?
  As suggested by above user, it could be a HARD disk, but in this case, it would mean that HARD drive failures and he could die in the next time

  You said it s begin properly until appears the window Vista would be
  So maybe it s only a problem of software but I m still don t know what part of the software would create such sound however, I think that if would not be bad to reinstall the operating system in order to check the notebook with factory settings.

  If this strange question would persist or if you would not be able to reinstall the operating system using the recovery disc then a hardware problem could cause this strange things and I think it means that you will need to contact the ASP in your country for a material test

  Seal (Slovakia)

  All joint news?
  Did get the workbook?

  You should be able to access the BIOS, even if the HARD disk is defective.
  In case of HARD drive failure, the BIOS will not recognize the HARD drive and the details of the HARD drive should not be entered in the BIOS (first page of BIOS) settings

  In case the HARD disk is OK, you should test the modules RAM module defective RAM (one or both) is supposed to prevent the laptop to boot the system.

• Satellite A200-1BJ does not start

  Hello

  My Satellite A200-1BJ does not start. After turning on the button it starts only for 1 or 2 seconds (flashing light, work from HDD, fan work, display blank) and then it turns off automatically. Once it happened days before but I didn't have the time to solve it and over the next few days, he has not occurred. Now, I tried to launch it more than 20 times and it still won't start.

  I tried only with full battery and also only with the power adapter. I removed the HDD, RAM, keyboard, DVD, speakers, display and a few other connector under the keyboard and it still does not start and it shuts down after 1-2 seconds each time.

  In recent months he sometimes exploded due to overheating during work so I cleaned the dust inside.

  No problem with the motherboard or power?

  Thanks for help.

  Hmmm... on this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is. described behavior is the same as in cases when the BIOS is dead after failed BIOS update installation.

  Of course, it's mainboard problem but what exactly, it is not easy to say. For me, this looks like faulty BIOS.

  Have you installed any updates or anything that may be responsible for this?

• Satellite Pro L300-21F does not start and the screen remains blank

  L300-21F is aged 18 months, so out of warranty. When you press the power button, you can hear the fan and a "click" but the hard drive does not start and the screen remains blank. The power and the battery on the headlight LEDs, but the switch light does not work. I checked the power supply and it is 19.3V and substituted a good known. Removed the battery, tried with just the power cord and still nothing. Pressing ESC or F2 when you press the button power does not bring to the top of the screen of the bios or any other message. I have concluded there is no power the jury. A friend he had its technology take a look and he concluded Council is probably a friend.

  So my questions are:
  1. He's probably right?
  2. is it a common problem with an easy solution?
  3. what else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?
  4. is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?

  Any help appreciated

  Hello

  > 1. He's probably right?

  Yes, it looks like motherboard failure

  > 2. Is this a common problem with an easy solution?

  If it's a motherboard problem, the whole motherboard is replaced. Quite expensive part...

  > 3. What else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?

  I don't think you can do anything with fried mobo

  > 4. Is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?

  Take a look at the site called irisvista.com

• Satellite C650 - Windows does not start correctly

  I have a Satellite C650, who does not start, when it lights there are two options, Startup Repair launch which leads to a black screen and mobile arrow, the screen remains like that until you turn it off the button stop (seriously ive left for about 10 hours). The other option is to start windows normally resulting in a blue screen and the laptop restarts itself.

  Help me please, make things worse I can't find the box that it came in which contains the guarantee and recovery disc

  Hey Buddy,

  You can start your laptop in safe mode? This means that if you press the F8 key before Windows starts and you choose Safe mode can you start Windows?

  If this isn't the case I think that it s something wrong with your Windows installation and that's why you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  Is there a way to make a bios hard reset on a toshiba x 200-21dts... all the seams of material to be fine, the only thing is that when I turn it on everything starts working for 3 seconds and then everything stops, the only left lights on are the one cable and one powerON...

  And please do not advise I take my toshiba for repair in a store because his old 30months, I didn't have any problems with it and I'm not spending more money on it!

  Thank you!

  > And please do not advise I take my toshiba for repair in a store because his old 30months, I didn't have any problems with it and I'm not spending more money on it!

  Well, I put t know what you expect then
  Is that the laptop does not start, and you do not see the start of the BIOS or Toshiba on the screen screen
  This means that there is something wrong on the motherboard
  Maybe it s RAM problem? Maybe the CPU is hit?
  I put t know why you say the material seems to be fine, but I'm not 100% sure of the internal hardware

  There are a lot of jumpers on the motherboard, and unfortunately I have no idea that that rider might be responsible for BIOS...
