Satellite L300-2CW does not start

Hello

I hope someone can help as Im at a loss!

Laptop - Satellite L300-2CW (PSLB8E-15W007EN) Windows 7 upgrade from Vista (Tosh upgrade disc)

When I turn on it shows the Tosh screen then just a line of underscores in the upper left side and that's it.
I've tried everything. F12 F2 holding 0 at startup but still nothing.
The hard disk may have crushed the thought but put it in a basket and now have a copy of his hard drive, so nothing wrong there.

IM completely lost now.

Help, please.

Thank you Russ
.

Hello

You have tried F2, F12 and 0, but have you tried to press F8 immediately after switching on the device?
Then you should see an advanced startup options.

Here you must choose to repair my computer and Toshiba HDD recovery.
This should launch the installation from the HARD disk partition.

Have you created the recovery disc at the beginning?
I presume that you didn t.

Well, if the procedure with the HARD disk partition will not help, then you will need to order the disk recovery from here:

  • Satellite L300-100 does not start

    Had some problems with my Toshiba L300, which would close sharply down. However, I have a problem with battery or adapter. Power adapter has been checked and bought a new battery. Now, the computer does not start. None of the traffic light turns on and I can just hear a sound like a clock click click when the power cord is connected.

    Any idea what can be wrong?

    On the virtual path that is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis, but for me it looks like a malfunction of the equipment. If there is no light or any reaction when you connect power adapter, it is possible that electronic power supply do a few worries.

    Maybe you should contact Toshiba service and allow to check the motherboard.

  • Satellite L300-144 does not start

    Hello!

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-144 arrested beginning after about 2 weeks of no use with the following sympthoms:
    -When DC cable is unplugged, none of its lights are turned on and pressing the button "power on" (and others) does nothing;
    -When DC cable is connected, 'DC IN' led is _blinking green_, led battery is _blinking orange_, others are turned off. by pressing the button "power on" (and others) does nothing.

    Waited for over an hour with DC cable connected try to charge the battery of the laptop without change.

    I have not found the meaning of this signal (DC IN green, battery flashes orange flashing) in my manual.

    What is this means problem with the battery of the laptop?

    How can I fix?

    Hello

    Flashing led DC-IN is not a good sign.
    Of my knowledge led begin to blink when a hardware error has been found.
    I'm not sure if this will help but try a short workaround:
    -remove the battery, disconnect the adapter
    -wait about an hour and then reconnect the two part.
    -try to turn on the laptop

    Check if it helps.
    But if this work around won t help you, then you would have no choice but to get in touch with ASP in your country.

    Sorry, but that's all I can suggest.

  • Satellite L300-135 does not start in windows!

    bought about 2 years ago everything has worked perfectly until today where it is still unable to boot into windows vista... I just turn it on when the windows loading bar loads then it shows a screen for 0.1 sec blue and it resets... even safe mode wouldn't start and restore mode (last known good config) couldn't help him start... I tried to use a live cd of ubuntu linux to back up my data but could not start either gave an error message stating something as abnormal.

    So where is the problem?

    Windows Boot Manager tried to find the problem and tells me this:

    status: 0xc00000e9

    Info: an unexpected i/o error has occurred.

    > so where's the problem?
    Who knows? Do you think that it of so easy to tell what's exactly wrong without running all the tests?
    Maybe it s just a software problem but a hardware problem (RAM, motherboard, etc.) can also be possible.

    If I understand your message, you want to access the data and to safeguard the necessary files
    Well, the recovery disk Toshiba would format the whole HARD disk, so you must back up the data before using the recovery disk.
    You could remove the laptop HARD drive and it could connect to another computer using an external USB HDD enclosure.
    After the backup, you can use the recovery disk to reinstall Windows.

  • Re: Satellite l300 - 14g does not start, hdd user password

    Hello.

    My neighbors gave me their cell phone to try to fix it. It just is not under tension.
    Place the screen black, blue, white letters:
    Please enter the password for HARD drive built-in user:

    They told me that it just appeared one day. I can't get into BIOS. There's nothing I can do about it.
    I tried to do a search in the forum and found nothing.

    Googleing I have readen on similar situations. You have any ideas what I could do?
    Maybe it's a broken HARD drive, I could replace it with another.

    Hello

    HDD password is NOT BIOS password.
    HARD drive password can not be erased if you n t know this password!

    If the HARD drive password is unknown, then the HARD drive is useless!

    You can buy a new one and replace the HARD drive.

    Good bye

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

    In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
    Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

    What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

    When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

    When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
    The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

  • Satellite P200-143 does not start

    My Satellite P200-143 does not start. The led lights up and the drive light flashes once then nothing. Holding the buttome 'on' for 10 second light outside.

    I tried to take out the battery for the afternoon, but no effect

    Any suggestions?

    P

    It looks like a dead last.
    The P200 is a new series and I think that the guarantee is valid. Then contact the ASP in your country and ask for help.

    Good luck

  • 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 Pro A120 - does not start with 4 GB of memory

    Hi all

    I'm new here so please be gentle!

    I have a Satellite Pro A120, model No. PSACOE - 037014EN and you want to increase the memory 512 MB present. I tried 2 different sets of memory 4 GB (2x2gb), but the machine does not start. I tried the different modules together and on their own but still no joy.

    Where I'm going wrong? This model will not take 2 GB memory modules?

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Best regards

    Dr. Feelgood

    Hello

    Before changing something about your hardware, please make sure that if the computer supports the new pieces of material and, therefore, you can also consult the user manual.

    Anyway, I checked this and this laptop can only be upgraded to 2 GB maximum. This means that you can use the module of 1 GB in each slot and * no * 2 GB in each slot.

    So please bring back the memory modules and buy 2x1GB. It will work.

  • Satellite L40-139 does not start

    ? 19/02/2014 18:41 - edited? 19/02/2014-18:45

    Hello, I have a problem with the SATELLITE L40-139

    the thing is when I press the power button / stop, hard drive led will begin to Flash, CD-ROM led is lit and the screen is black. I noticed that advise in the CD-ROM makes a sound ICT in the same way the hdd led flashes (when it flashes I hear a tick form CD, yes I unfolded any computer laptop).

    I can only say that I have connected my PC HARD drive and it's working., good fan is not working too, but I think it will start, after some time (as he always did)

    Notebook crash circumstances are now saying: that a year ago, he fell from 1 inch (such height ;]) I saw that the ribbon cable connecting the touchpad to the mohterboard was broken and my diidn can't start computer, I thought that there's a problem, but I forgot and left the laptop for more than 9 months (with hard disassebled and battery and cd-rom drive) and then I decided to try to turn it on.
    And viola! It works it boots etc.

    After a month of being happy, I'm drunk I couldn't sit on the Chair and I decided to sleep with my laptop on the bed, I lied right down and put the laptop on my belly and it crashed (screen freezes) so I decided to reboot, but it does not start.

    Here is a video with what I get when turning the power on it: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC0pGBBVwJk] (not Fortunately my phone fell in the mud and shifts when I record videos)

    Some people suggest I should connect an external display to see if theres no picture but the result is always the same. (Screen not even fuels not on)

    Maybe someone could help me fix without sending it to the customer service.

    See you soon.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. Of course, you can try to do some tests and try to make some conclusions which may be wrong. After his last stop somewhere I think that there is big problem with graphics card. Of course I can't say it for sure.

    Diagnosis just exact mainboard can offer answers. I m afraid mainboard is dead and must be exchanged.

    Hello

    This does not seem very well! Would you see the Toshiba logo red when you try to start because when you do not see the Toshiba logo there is a failure that is quite sure of the hardwaree!

    How long it works when it is started?

    Have you changed any hardware in the past?

    Tips: Your Satellite 1405-S151 is an American model.

    So if you want to install drivers or to do a BIOS update to go to the following site

  • Satellite 1800-400 does not start, or crashes after upgrading RAM

    I have the original configuration of RAM for the S1800-400 with 120 MB. I bought a 256 MB RAM with the following description: EXT256-3069/JR, MEM 256 MB RA Toshiba Satellite PRO 4600 series C650, PIII-7500/750/800 #PA3069U (I think the brand is Transcend).

    When I put this slot in the machine, keeping the original and start the computer, it does not start, either on the initial screen of freezing before downloading anything either or that goes to the screen where you can start it in safe mode, but then it does not start.

    I removed the new RAM and it works well again.

    What can be the problem:

    (1) is this new RAM is not compatible with the computer? Based on the selections of the internet service provider, it should be (it's a Portuguese company with their own memory configuration options).

    (2) the computer can work with the original 120Mo and the new 256 MB, or should it be both the same size/brand?

    (3) is there any other problem that I don't have?

    TKS

    Hi Ricardo

    I agree with feliks.
    The module is not compatible and not taken in charge can be responsible for your problem.
    The best way is to use the Toshiba recommended of the memory modules.

  • Satellite Pro L50 does not start with 8 GB

    I have a brand new L50 Pro of Satellite (PSKK3A-001001)

    Config of RAM is default of 1 x 4 GB memory DDR3 12800 1 use slot 1 slot free
    I removed 4GB and install 1 DDR3L 12800 8 GB but it does not start.
    The form of State capacity 16 GB so with 2 slots logically, that means 2 x 8 GB cards.
    He also said DDRL, which I assume is the correct type.

    The 4 GB mark was Hynix and the 8 GB is Apacer.
    Anyone have a resolution on this or know what the problem is?

    On this forum you can find many threads where people describe similar problems. In most cases the problem is compatibility modules, especially if Ram needs to be upgraded with modules produced by different manufacturers.

    According to the specifications of the laptop you need DDR3L memory (1600 Mhz).
    Talk with your dealer and ask if there's Kingston compatibility module. Kingston offers high quality and 100% compatible memory modules.
