Satellite C850D-104 - no boot HDD, no WEIRD boot, black screen

Hi all

I had a laptop Toshiba C850D-140, purchased approximately one to two years. I decided to reinstall Windows 7 and I started the whole process. Everything was good, the "expanding windows files" ball, completed successfully, then the laptop restarts automatically. Then the problems started.

No Toshiba logo came, only a line of underscore in the top left corner, not flashing, wearing just here. After about two seconds, the system rebooted and underscore appeared. This process in a loop forever. I can enter the BIOS menu, I can get into boot menu list, but the problem is that the laptop cannot boot from any device. HARD, no USB or DVD disc. The DVD contains Windows 7 genuine, working and tested on other PC but the laptop refuses to boot from it.

Any ideas?
Consistent thanks

To my knowledge, underscore flashing means a HARD drive problem.
But you said, underscore does not blink but his lie.

In some cases, this could mean the RAM to malfunction. However, this is just an idea.

Question: do you have set the default BIOS? In the BIOS, press F9 to get the default settings and press F10 to save.

HARD drive appears on the first page of BIOS (HDD name, size,)?
If this isn't the case, it means that the HARD drive is faulty.

  • Satellite L775D-10W - stucks Boot: black screen + mouse cursor visible

    Dear supporters,

    Model: Satellite L775D-10W
    Operating system: Win7 64 bit
    Problem: The procedure start STRP stuck after "Windows load data" and a progress undertitled with 'Microsoft Corporation' bar, resulting a black screen and a mobile mouse cursor.

    The same problem occurs every time...
    pressing F8 > options (safe vaissaille mode) > start gets stuck
    Boot from DVD of Win7 64 bit > startup gets stuck
    Boot from DVD of Win7 64 bit > options > start gets stuck

    It is likely that the graphics card is broken or that the driver no longer appropriate?

    Thank you for your time in advance!

    Greetings

    Carpet

    Graphics card problem may be possible but in this case the POST (power on self test) would not be passed, and in my opinion, it is not possible to access the BIOS.

    However, it's just a theory
    Try to start Notepad using some Live CD like Linux

    I would also recommend to start the advanced boot menu. (by pressing F8) and choose repair my computer option.
    Then select Toshiba HDD recovery

    This option would be to recover the laptop back to factory settings.

  • Satellite C850D-104 - change of MAC address

    On the new laptop of C850D-104, I have a problem with the mac address.

    Well well, in short: it changes.

    My firewall filter (also) on the mac address so I need to add the mac address of the new machine.
    Which seemed to work fine until I restarted the laptop warm. No possible connection.

    And looking on the firewall, I see indeed a different mac address attempts to connect.
    To be sure, I restarted again, and yet once again, I get a new address (another).

    Restart IE cold. stop and restart seem to reset the address this is a first.
    And after a warm reboot, the new address.

    Now bypass is simple, do a cold reboot, but it is still annoying.
    On the internet I found some versions of back problems with the netword card driver, but my current license is some versions above that should have solved the problem.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello.
    I had the same problem in a C850-154 (with a Realtek wireless adapter) and the pilot was at the beginning of this year.
    I have updated with the driver of the 14/09/12 (version 2.00.0020) and the problem was solved.

  • Satellite L300 - after the BIOS update I have a black screen

    Welcome! I have a big problem.

    I improve my Satellite L300 BIOS to the old version that I download on the official website of Toshiba. I turn on the update program and after about minute, the system will shoot down and on the screen I see black screen only. The light on the drive flashes green and the led in the DVD-ROM flashes orange. I have no idea what's going on.

    Please help me!

    Hello

    It sounds like this during the update of the BIOS, that something was going wrong. I think that the ROM module must be reflashed or in the worst cases, the motherboard should be replaced.

    In any case, you should contact an ASP for help. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module and solve this problem.
    If you don't know where is the nearest ASP, you can search on the Toshiba site:

    Good bye

  • Re: NB200-110 can not boot - black screen

    Hi all!

    I have a toshiba nb200-110 semi-bricked: can I power on it, I can surf via the bios, I can pass any setting but I can't start!

    Indeed, after the bios, I have black screen.
    If I try to go to the boot menu (f12) I always black screen! What can I do? BIOS version is 1.20.

    I have created a disk of crysis with the latest bios (2.10), it seems flahs porperly but upon restarting, I always BIOS 1.20

    sSorry for my bad English

    PS I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE RESET THE BIOS WITH THE JUMPER (BECAUSE THEY FORGOT THE PASSWORD).
    BEFORE THIS OPERATION, THE NETBOOK WORKED WITHOUT PROBLEMS!

    Hello

    You speak for themselves
    What these say that the laptop was already send to ASP?

    Have you checked if the video output was not set to external monitor?
    Please check if the FN + F5 keys that toggle between internal and external monitor.

    If it does not then I would recommend contacting ASP guy that removed the BIOS password I say everything was ok before the BIOS password has been deleted maybe they changed something in the BIOS or BIOS itself

    I wish you good luck

  • Windows Vista does not boot, black screen after "windows loading files...". »

    I have a laptop HP Pavilion dv2000, it came with windows vista, so I don't have a boot disk. When I try to start it, it will say "windows loading files...". "with a bar, once the bar is loaded it will say microsoft Corp.

I have installed recent updates and I can't access the restore mode or security system.

    Hello

    The possible fix is the same that you can not boot the system currently.

    You need to make a computer repair/restore on another disc, borrow a friends Windows disk.
    or buy one from the manufacturer of the system. See the methods in BOLD above which also shows how
    a repair/recovery disk which is bootable.

    It may not be repairable by a user and the help of a real store of the computer (no leeks and peaks at)
    a BestBuy or other BigBox stores) or Support from HP is required.

  • Satellite C650 won't turn on / boot (black screen only)

    I am having trouble with my year old Satellite C650. In fact, when I go to turn it on it just won't. The power led on the front of the laptop turns on and the fan starts whirring (only to stop a few seconds later), but there is no change to the screen. I tried to take out the battery, restart, connect, disconnect - basically everything I can think of, but nothing made a difference.

    Can anyone think a possible solution? I really hope this isn't a hardware problem, but I have a horrible feeling that it looks like this...

    Thank you!

    > Can anyone think a possible solution? I really hope this isn't a hardware problem, but I have a horrible feeling that it looks like this...

    I'm scared of m its hardware problem.
    My advice would not apply to a Toshiba service provider in your country that would check the parts.
    Your laptop doesn't seem to be old so maybe the warranty is still valid and the fix could be done free of charge.

  • Satellite U400 - 14 p PSU44E: cannot install Win XP - black screen

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba U400 - 14 p (i-e-U400-PSU44E) a few weeks and I can not install XP on it.

    I boot with a cd XP (tweak with nlite where I added my AHCI drivers and SP3). But at startup time, the system tells me that will attempt to recognize my hardware and then I have a screen_ _dark
    I don't have the blue screen where I can press F6 to install the SATA driver.

    So that's what I tried to solve my problem:

    -Flash bios => same thing
    -Boot with an external cd usb => same thing
    -Made a lot of tweak XP cd with SP2, SP3 wathever => same thing
    -Sacrifice a chicken and asking the old spirit of help-online the same thing: D :D

    _Some tell me I'm a tattooed bios_ how can I get around this?

    I try to boot with a usb floppy again. Because I have no one and it is so vast!

    Guess that's it's the same thing. It will be hard to swallow :(

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    > I boot with a cd XP (tweak with nlite where I added SP3 and my AHCI drivers
    Can I ask you what you used SATA drivers?

    I have a U400 to and Win XP has been installed without any problem of bug.
    The Intel Matrix Storage Manager contains all the necessary SATA files which should be integrated into the XP CD.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 4 do not start and black screen

    I really hope that someone can help you.
    After 15 months my Toshiba A200 seems to have given up the ghost.

    I tried to put it on today and although the blue LED on hold came and the orange clear hard disk there was no other sign of life.
    I tried and tried, but it just wouldn't start and the screen did nothing but remains black.
    I tried to take the battery for more than 30 minutes, pressing F4 - but nothing.
    I have no memory material inserted or additional cards as a webcam. Everything worked fine until now.

    I'm not very technical so you know how to help, then please explain as simply as possible.

    I really appreciate any help you may be able to offer!

    > I tried to take the battery for more than 30 minutes, pressing F4 - but nothing.
    Why try to press F4?
    However, remove the battery, disconnect the AC adapter, wait up to an hour and then reconnect the battery and the AC adapter.

    If the laptop doesn t boot I think that the motherboard must be replaced. Ask your local ASP for help. They can order and swap the motherboard.

  • CQ61-312SA: Presario CQ61 does not boot, black screen.

    In setting in motion:

    • LEDs LED power supply front and button cases NIP
    • Wireless LED lights
    • Above the touchpad LED lights continuously
    • LEDS near caps lock and above paved digital flash streaming
    • No sign of drive activity, no fan noise, the screen remains black.

    Looks like it is not booting in the BIOS.

    However, I tried:

    • Remove the battery, button to power down etc.
    • Remove each RAM module and Exchange.
    • Remove the HARD drive

    NB symptoms are the same when the power supply plugged in or not.

    I believe that the flashing LEDs are important but I the only references I can find are telling me to contact the HP Support.

    Can anyone tell if this is likely to be a failure of a repairable component.

    I was hoping to identify the component that prevents the laptop to even start the BIOS but I guess I'll have to just it's bin.

  • Tecra S1 - does not boot, black screen

    When I turn on my Tecra S1, fan starts, dvd starts up but screen stays black and hd light does not illuminate. If I press F8 or F12, or sometimes even if I do not support what it is, I've heard three beeps. I disconnected the battery, HD and RAM, but it seems that the same thing.

    What can I do to detect and debug the problem? Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    I found and interesting article on the Web from Toshiba site:
    [What steps must be followed if your Toshiba laptop does not start? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=21]

    Overall this beep code means that a hardware malfunction has been detected. An ASP in your country can tell you what the problem is.

  • Replaced the G550 motherboard. Won't boot black screen and high.

    I replaced the motherboard in my Lenovo G550 laptop cause the old one was fried. It's the exact same model of the motherboard with a new processor. I carefully put it back together and double checked all the connections. Now when I turn it on, it made all the right noises, I hear the fan and hard drive starts, but after 2-3 seconds, the HARD drive and fan go quiet and the hard drive light turns off. The laptop stays just slowed after this point and the screen is completely black, no display at all. Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you

    THE FIXED! .. After leaving the laptop running for about five minutes, I noticed that the right part of the palmrest botton was really hot. That's where the USB slot Council separte connected to the motherboard. So I opened the laptop again once disconnected the cable flex of the USB card, turned on again and it starts without any problem. Everything works perfect now just need to find a replacement USB Board now on this side. Can't believe that the USB Board was causing the problem.

  • C355 all-in-One won't boot black screen

    Hi all

    I have a C355 all-in-one who had a serious problem lately. When I try to turn on the pc with the power button, it makes the whirring sound, but the screen is black and it won't turn. The power button stays on and sounds like it starts up but the screen remains black and does not turn.

    I tried unplugging all USBs thinking it could be the conflict with the other drivers, but it does not work. It usually takes 20 + attempts after pressing the power button on and off with no screen until the PC actually turns. It is extremely frustrating, sometimes over an hour before I can get the computer on! I made sure that all drivers are up-to-date, and 8.1 windows is fully updated. I don't know what else to do to try to solve this problem. This PC is not under warranty but its still relatively new. I wouldn't have to spend money on another computer for this reason. If anyone has had this problem or have any suggestions to try to fix? Thank you.

    I ended up taking the all-in-one to a repairman. The cpu has been damaged from overheating. They said it was a common problem with all-in-one which have an amd cpu and warned me to stick in the future equipped with Intel processors. The cost of the repair was too expensive for my cheap all-in-one so I got the hard drive recovered and let it go!

    Hello

    According to test results, you posted, and it does not point to hard drive failure. Is your older machine for less than 12 months?

    In this cases aged under 12 months contact HP in your local area and organize a repair service.
