Satellite L20 giving 8 LED flashes

Hey there,

I have a Satellite L20-100 here that does no post at all.
I tried to take out the battery, memory and disk hard but still no luck.

The power led blinks 8 times when I press the switch however.

Anyone know what this could mean?

TIA.

Hello

If electronic power supply detects that some portable problem send a blink code. This code allows you to identify the problem. I can't tell you much these codes, but what I know for sure, is that you need professional help.

It must be a hardware problem, and in this case only the Toshiba ASP could help you. Hardware problems can be solved by a common user!

    And some one take the battery CMOS, in frist place I guess is not a problem, only the Don t of the bios, save the changes I did, plase can one help everything, everything...

    Find the testicles or, thank you!

    I can tell you with certainty what s wrong with your laptop, but I guess that its a serious problem of motherboard.
    Perhaps the electronic power supply on the motherboard is affected.

    Fact is that this isn't the battery problem. Why? Because the laptop should work without the battery, but comes to connect to the network.

    You said that the adapter is OK. Well, it means that the battery and AC adapter isn't the troublemaker you said that memory was also tested.
    So this isn't memory problem and, therefore, I think, it could be the related problem of motherboard.

  • Satellite L655-1EM - why LED flashes all the time?

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite L655-1EM this afternoon and since I have had on a light keeps flashing.

    It's next to a short fat cylinder.
    Any help would be appreciated, I have everything turned off and it still flashed!
    My old laptop did not do that.

    The LED is really bright so it is very sensitive, and it flashes even in hibernation mode.

    Hello

    First of all, I would recommend consulted the user manual in order to know what LED is.
    I guess you mean HDD LED and this led continues to blink if data could be read or written to the HARD disk

    It's not unusual companion

  • Satellite A500 fresh orange led flashes in pink

    Initially using the laptop on the sector every now and then driving charge orange pink flash (power switch in 1-second intervals) and the white POWER LED also goes off at the same time.

    The laptop would indicate its execution is no longer turned off AC, removing the AC plug and plug back on the side of the laptop solved this problem temporarily (seeing Orange lights and PC would again deducted). It is more and more frequiently so far, it will not work on the current at all and requires the AC cable unplugged/plugged back in a few seconds.

    He also used to load without problem while the unit has been turned off, this has now stopped working as well and gets the same blinking AC light constantly until now the laptop even will not fuel because there is no charge to the battery and no power supply available.

    So far... I replaced with a new... out the battery charger and you press the power button for two miniutes of discharge current differential residual and replaced the battery again (as suggested on other forums and discussions)... all with no success.

    I must say that I am * very * angry... .one months out of warranty and the laptop is now practically unusable. Is it a common thing with Toshibas? and what would be my next course of action? Do I need to take it to a repair center costly repairs and if if anyone has any suggestions as to where I should consider in the area of Liverpool in Sydney.

    Sure it will be the last product of Toshiba any I will NEVER buy if it comes to the quality of their products.

    NOT HAPPY

    My brother in law bought a laptop from another manufacturer and after 3 days! The use of the laptop didn't start more lucky that happened in the period of warranty he had the laptop replaced and since it s running like a dream.

    You had a boyfriend of bad luck, that's too bad, unfortunately; you will need to ask a technician for a fix if there is an option for you.

  • Satellite M100: AC adapter LED flashing rapidly blue

    Hi all

    I went to turn on my Satellite M100 this morning and it will not activate. When the power adapter is connected, the button ac adapter on the front of the laptop flashes quickly in blue, which I've never seen before. When I take off the cord the laptop power adapter stops flashing, but even once will not illuminate.

    An idea of what's going on?

    Try to remove a battery for a while and test it with adapter only.

  • Satellite Pro M10 cannot start properly - AC LED flashing orange

    Hello

    I have a weird problem that I can't solve.

    (1) when my Satellite Pro M10 the plugged AC adapter and the battery, the AC led is green and battery led is orange.
    (2) when I try to turn it on, several times it not light and the dissepear of leds for 1 or 2 seconds and my AC led flashes orange. Sometimes it lights up as it should be.
    _________
    When this problem occurs, it will take a lot of time before it turns normally. I searched the internet for a solution, but I couldn't find one.

    I already removed the battery and try to turn it on, but it does not solve the problem. Or when I remove the AC adapter and try to start it on the battery itself.

    I also removed the two of them and you press the button power on for 60 seconds. After that, it will sometimes start with mains or battery adapter.

    My bios is updated to the latest version. (I've done this when he started only five minutes ago, but the problem is not resolved). I also believe that when the m10 is enabled and when I close it, it crashes also.

    Do anyone know how to solve the poblem? Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    These problems are very rare and shouldn't t happen if hardware or software is ok.
    Power LED blinking orange means there could be a hardware malfunction.
    It is a code flashing microphone and a technician can be read.
    This code must be translated into the hexadecimal digit.

    But for ordinary users it s not able to know what it means. In my opinion a power electronic malfunctions and must be verified by an ASP.

  • Re: Satellite L750 does not turn on - LED flashes

    Hi guys,.

    Can someone help me please!
    I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite L750 last week and it won't turn :(

    The wing forward system indicator is flashing but I'm not sure wat it is: P
    Nûby - I know, but its all new to me.

    Also my lappy does not turn and stop automatically last night in the middle of using it.

    The fan seems to be surging so:(meh son seul nouveau... s'il vous plaît aider!!!)
    Karma

    Hello

    If the LED flashes then a serious hardware problem has been detected on the motherboard.
    I think that the guarantee must be valid because L750 model isn't very old so don t time in bulk and get in touch with the Toshiba ASP in your country.
    Guys should help you for free if the warranty is valid.

    For me it doesn't look like a main part (motherboard) need a replacement.

  • Satellite L20-100 cannot access a USB Flash drive

    I recently bought Toshiba Satellite L20-100
    I installed a USB in Kingston datatraveler flash drive and windows recognized it without problem.
    but when I open my computer there is no icon for the reader (it works on another computer well).
    the drive is recognized in Device Manager, but it is not given a drive letter.
    When I open disk management and try to give it a drive letter it still does not show on my computer even after a reboot.

    Although I can access the disk management flash drive and can open, copy & paste the files & to her.
    same problem happened with a card reader.
    other USB devices like cable modem & mouse work well

    What is the solution

    Hello

    Is it possible that the USB is not formatted? Try changing the file system on the USB key.
    You can also try to change the drive letter because the letter assigned automatically sometimes gives some conflicts with other readers.

    Second possibility:
    You can try to clean all the USB stored device settings and let Windows refresh their.

    Create a file with Notepad containing the following lines and save it as a BOOKMARK. REG
    -cut after this line-
    REGEDIT4

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Environment]

    "DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES" = "1".
    -cut before this line-

    Double click on FIX. REG and say yes to the merge into registry question.

    Unplug ALL USB device.
    Open the Device Manager.
    View, show hidden devices.
    Uninstall all devices under USB controllers.
    Uninstall all devices in hard drives that you know are not present.
    Uninstall all devices in storage Volumes. Say no to all reboot prompts until you are finished.
    In addition, if a storage Volume doesn't uninstall, ignore her and move on to the next.
    If you have a yellow? with unknown devices, uninstall all of the entries there as well.

  • Satellite L500 is OFF and the Green LED flashes if hooked on sector

    Help!

    I have a L500 which is not outside the green light flashes when the power cable is plugged in, but does nothing else

    Hello

    What indicator do you mean exactly?

    DC (first on left) indicator lights up green when the properly feeding the power adapter. If the output voltage is abnormal or if breakdowns computers power indicator lights.

    The other indicator (power led second from left) lights green when the computer is turned on. If you turn off the computer to sleep, this LED starts blinking Orange.

    Also if there is a failure of memory Power LED repeatedly flashes
    0.5 sec and off 0.5 sec
    If there is a problem with the slot A the LED flashes two times orange then green once
    If there is an error in the B slot, the LED flashes orange green once then twice
    If there is error in the slot A and B the LED flashes two times in orange and green.

    But if the power light flashes green only, I guess there is a motherboard problem.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: LED flashes at a certain frequency

    Mentioned this problem in another article

    Power adapter gives green LED and charge the battery. So far so good, but...
    After pressing the button ON / OFF, nothing happens. Do not use is not the main adapter but the battery gives no change.
    Only the DC IN - LED flashes at a certain frequency:
    short-long-short-Short-Short-Short-short-long,
    Morse code:.-... -.
    in BIN: 01000001

    Nothing happens... Sytem stays down

    I bought a new battery but no change.

    What can be wrong?

    Manusje

    The blink code is displayed if there is something wrong with the hardware.
    Code: 0100 0001 should read it back 1000 0010 = 82 h

    The Toshiba service partner should know what is the meaning by mistake 82 h
    You should ask him for help.

  • Satellite A10: Battery-LED flashes with AC

    Not too long ago I bought a new battery for my laptop. About a year and a half he worked well. But one day I just couldn't start Notepad without AC. I thought, just dead battery. If I set up the adapter sector, but the next time, the laptop didn't start either. With AC, no problem.
    So I charged the battery, and when Windows says, full battery, and the Green LED, I unplugged the AC. But then the computer laptop completely stopped, as if there is no battery.

    Now, it's this way: it is not serious what know Windows. The laptop does not start without AC. After a disconnect from the AC, the battery led flashes orange fastly. When windows is running, it only slowly blinks orange.

    Where is the problem? Anyone know a solution?

    Hello

    In my opinion, there are two possibilities.
    Either the battery is dead and needs to be replaced or to power portable electronic malfunctions.

    The first possibility is not serious because the battery change should help solve this problem, but if the power of electronic books is not working properly, the entire motherboard must be replaced.

    I think that it s advisable to contact the ASP in your country, because the guy has found the fault very quickly and could provide the best solution.

    Good luck buddy

  • Power with Satellite L20-121 problems

    Greetings
    My Toshiba laptop model is satellite L20-121 PSL20e.
    OS: Windows XP Home Edition
    When I restart windows, windows stops, then the led power and WiFi will Flash once and the laptop turns on again and when I stop, the laptop turns off correctly, but when I press the power button to turn on the laptop again, the led power and WiFi will Flash once, the laptop does not light and I have to wait 5 minutes about yo start it again.
    I sent it to the Toshiba Service Center in my country, and they said "we must restore the recovery image", even if it's a hardware problem, not a software, and at the same time, I'm very busy and don't have the time to reinstall the entire system and software applications still.

    What proves my idea it is when I enter SETUP (F2) and output the laptop do the same thing (the LED will blink once and no longer lights)
    The same thing with the BACK... or Linux live CD
    Once the laptop is turned off, it cannot turn on again. only after 5 minutes

    I recorded my laptop in the Standard online warranty system, I hope it helps me
    I have only 4 months remaining

    Appreciate your help
    Thank you

    Hello

    You can do the following: update your bios if not already done and then try with different operating systems (linux, windows, etc.) if the error reappears, then you should send your machine to the partner service and the statement that the error occurs independent of the operating system running.

    Sometimes, they need a few comments otherwise they won´t anything...
