Satellite C660-10 d - black screen after adding extra RAM!

Hello world

I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-10 d and have recently bought a 2GB additional RAM to upgrade my laptop to 4 GB in total. The RAM stick is identical to the 2 GB ram origin that settled in the laptop.

I added the extra ram and when I turn on the laptop the screen remains black, however the laptop fans can be heard etc. When I remove the extra ram com starts up fine and shows the windows login screen. I also tried the two ram sticks on their own to slot 1 and both work well, its only when they are both in the connectors that I get the black screen.

Any help asap would be fantastic.

Its a problem with your extra RAM module.
Is not fully compatible.
Recommend you use two identical Kingston RAM modules, these modules are great, tested and provide good quality.

  • Re: Satellite L675-10 t black screen after disassembly problem

    Hi all

    I recently had some problems with my L675-10T overheating, even when I was with a big fan of cooling for the games.

    I realized that the problem resulted from blocked exhaust and dust and it is why, after reading and watching the many tutorials, I opened my laptop computer successfully and all cleaned up.

    The temperature dropped to 20 c and I was happy.

    The next night, however, took my laptop and headed for the living room, and it will stop.
    Black screen and nothing passed. So I ran to the internet and found this solution, it worked btw.

    1. turn off your computer
    2. unplug all wires (including energy)
    3. disconnect the battery from the bottom of the computer.
    4 re - connect the power cable. (the battery should not be in the computer)
    5. turn power on. The screen works. Choose start windows normally. (if you get this screen)

    The thing is, the same thing happened to me this morning as well.
    Twice in 2 days and im a little worried I did something wrong during Assembly of the laptop or something. Any ideas? Or do I keep accountant with the above solution?
    Looks like a mess of power upwards of sorts.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    I assume that this question has not happened before you have disassembled the laptop. Right?
    To be honest this similar issue happened to me to. The portable light not (black screen) after I'm entered in the mode 'sleep'. However, this happened only once

    It s hard to tell why this happened to you it of not impossible that you have damaged something for disassembled the procedure.

    However, the fact is that the warranty is not valid more because you opened the laptop. That is why any approach (especially parts replacement) to solve this problem would cost money.
    So ultimately it s your decision: a technician visit to downtown to see the pieces of equipment or keep your stay with the workaround mentioned above.

    I have Satellite A200-130 I install a windows Vista OS with success and after that, I have saved all the driver I DOWNLOAD and put on a single folder... but then I accidentally open the configuration files of the BIOS that is "setup.exe" with the file "skae180a.rom".

    BOS update starts automatically and I can't cancel it because my keyboard doesn't work simply do not. Then the update fails. I tried to restart my laptop using the touchpad and after reboot I just get BLACK SCREEN and HD led flash just once and my CD/DVD drive is displayed for 5 seconds and nothing happens.

    Now my laptop remains the same... just 'black screen '.
    Can someone help me on this matter? I really need this laptop to be repaired.

  • Satellite L450 (PSLY0E) - a black screen after BIOS update

    It seems I have "brick" my phone during a bios utdate that went wrong... black screen as suspect: o.

    The laptop is a Toshiba satellite L450 (PSLY0E)
    The new bios image is named "bwaa150a.rom".

    Anyone know if it is possible to recover the bios of the flash or floppy drive, using a sort of toolfrom recovery inside the bios chip?... .or something?

    Anyone know who is the manufacturer of this bios?
    If I rename the bios image during a recovery, what 12xxxxx be named?

    To my knowledge, it is possible to reflash the EPROM module using the special procedure of crisis of the BIOS. But this crisis BIOS disk for Toshiba computers laptops isn't available for download.
    This must be done by authorized maker Toshiba.

    But I also read in the forum about those who tried some discs of crisis 3rd party BIOS.
    Sometimes it worked, but in most cases, you need advanced help technician.

    However, to use the forum search option advanced to search for similar topics on crisis disk BIOS. Otherwise, as I said above: you last chance might be the ASP.

  • Satellite L675-10T stucks in a black screen after the new RAM upgrade

    Hi all

    I recently decided to upgrade the memory in my laptop pretty.
    I went online, has adapted Rams and ordered.

    What I got are 2 of them:
    http://www.offtek.co.UK/RAM-specification/Toshiba/Toshiba-laptop-memory/satellite-L675-10T/pid921300

    The installation is very easy, but as soon as I turn on my laptop, it stucks in a black screen with a straight white line underscore.

    I guess it's an incompatibility problem?
    Could you please help me?

    Thank you.

    I think you're right, it seems that the modules are not totally compatible, even if the online retailer page says they are
    You can remove the new RAM modules just to check if the laptop to boot up properly I guess correctly the unit upwards.

    Solution? Use a different RAM modules I had good experience using modules from Kingston, they might be a little expensive, but I think they should work correctly.

    Hello!

    I have laptop Satellite L40 - 14 H (PSL48E). I installed Windows XP, it worked fine, except the keypad is lit permanently so I couldn't enter a few symbols. I decided to install the special BIOS for WinXP, which downloaded from the Toshiba web site. The PSL48x model is in the support list. Change the windows flashing and reboot, I entered the BIOS to see what has changed. I saw nothing new, so I leave the WOOD and restart again.

    Please help me, how can I save to live?
    Thank you, Eugene.

  • Re: Cannot start Satellite C660 - cursor and black screen

    Satalillite C660

    I can't start on windows 7.
    I get a blank screen and cursor is not serious what I have no recovery disk.

    I tried F8 and to repair, but even once, it just goes to the empty screen.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Please switch on and press F2 to enter the BIOS.
    In BIOS check if the HARD drive is recognized. The HARD drive should appear on the first page of the BIOS.
    If it is not recognized, it means that your HARD drive is dead.
    In this case, you will need to replace the HARD drive and install the system once more.

    You said you don t have the right recovery disk, here you can order one:

  • 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 X 205-SLi3 - black screen with the mobile mouse at startup

    I have a computer laptop X 205 - Sli 3 satellite, which is a little more than a month and running windows Vista. (let me know if the exact specifications make a difference)

    Yesterday morning my laptop was working fine, I arrested him at home because I need to take to work with me to get some files there. However, when I tried to turn it back on all I got was a black screen with cursor mouse mobile white dead center. I saw other posts with similar problems, but no solutions.

    Loads everything up as normal at the beginning: I get the Toshiba load screen (this allows me to make changes to the boot from there with F2, F8, F12 or, but none seems to have no effect) and I get the little green loading bar of Microsoft just before the screen blinks a few times and then turns black except for the white mouse. The touchpad, Capslock and scroll lock keys * are * admissible, but the function keys and Ctrl + Alt + Delete to do * not * work. There is no way to stop the laptop at this point without maintaining the power button.

    I tried to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, only to get exactly the same result after Windows loading bar. (only a lower resolution on this beautiful Virgin high-def screen mouse cursor). I activated the boot record, nothing, I tried to start with the "last known good configuration", nothing.

    I tried windows repair options: repair system, System Restore (it * was * a windows update just before restore point in my laptop screwed up and I m wondering if that has something to do with it because it was the first time the computer was turned off since the auto update installed... but get an older restore point does not help) , as well as the windows memory diagnostic tool. Everything is displayed normally but still black screen after the loading bar Microsoft...

    I also tried the debug mode, and directory services restore mode just for the heck of it - each time the black screen of death.

    I even put in the Toshiba recovery disc and put my laptop to boot from the CD rather than the HD (it gives me the same options by pressing F8 and go to repair are starting only I didn't have to put my admin password)

    The only thing I can think that I n t done is format my whole hard drive, I know that this is not always a solution, and I prefer to keep all my school and work files if possible. Fortunately I am able to get into the command prompt BACK and some of the most important things am copy on a USB key, but I'll still probably lose all my programs and larger files.

    Someone had a similar problem?
    If so, what was the solution?
    I would call all technical support, but I won't have time until after the new year to spend on the phone and I have a feeling that their solution will be to format and use the recovery disc.

    Man, such an expensive machine and then all this work of wouldn because of some software sh... So, if you have backed up your most important files, then, I would _recommend_ you to recover your machine. Won´t solve you anything just trying to find the error, believe me, you'll go nuts.

    Just put the recovery in the drive and start the process of "delete-all-my-programs-but-protect-my-nerves-and-make-everything-OK".

  • Black screen after flashing to latest BIOS

    Nothing but black screen after flashing the latest bios (fan, leds work)...

    I can do, or that of new bios/motherboard can help? (I tried to rest the battery, press F8...) Thanks in advance

    I presume that the BIOS is doomed. What you need is a professional help with this then contact the nearest service provider and ask for help.

    By the way: check this forum using the advanced search option. In the past, I have seen several interesting discussions on BIOS recovery. I m quite skeptical on this subject but maybe you will be lucky and find the solution.
