Satellite L300 intermittently won't start not

My Satellite L300 intermittently does not start.

When trendy DC, light power plug is green, when you press power button / stop power light is Orange boots for 3 seconds with fan started done 2 short beeps and then the fan stops and no other shoe.
turn off the DC supply then plug again before may give him another chance.

This can happen up to 20 times, sometimes around 3 or 4 attempts.
When he wants to finally go, pressed power light power button green and all is OK.
That means the light Orange?

I checked for dust in the fan, used another power supply, tried friends memory and hard drive.

The problem can occur every day, or every day.

I left the battery in case it appeared the problem, the battery will not hold a charge very long.
I would be grateful of any advise

> That means Orange light?

If power light flashes orange, it indicates the power was cut off, while the computer was in mode 'sleep'.
But in your case I n t think that the laptop enter mode 'sleep' in your case, the power LED flashes means a hardware problem may be detected

Perhaps your motherboard is affected

  • Satellite C660 - intermittent failure of start

    Last month my Satellite C660 intermittently won't start. Frequency of failure seems to increase.

    The meter turns, the fan runs for 5 seconds (sometimes 15 seconds with an increase in speed at the end) and then the machine stops.

    No display of the bios.
    In this case only, the PSU batteries only or both connected. With HDD inside or outside, with or without ram.

    BIOS has been reset and updated and replace the bios battery.
    Without losing the connections internally.

    Product 19.3V DC POWER supply.
    No obvious pattern as to when it will start, but when it's W7 works very well.

    Would be grateful for any input.

    > In this case only, the PSU batteries only or both connected. With HDD inside or outside, with or without ram.
    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say with certainty what the problem, but it must be something with the motherboard. One thing would be interesting: when the operating system starts correctly can you use unlimited number of time or is just cuts off after a while?

  • Satellite 1800-100 won't start with new memory

    My satellite s1800-100 won't start although my new memory (2nd) module is 128 MB PC100.

    I have Samsung samsung K4S281632C-TC1H module as PC100 (128 MB) memory on SLOT 1 by default.

    Although all of the features and form factors are clean, why not my Satellite S1800-100 starts? I checked the new (slot 2) memory works fine and tested OK.

    So, is there as a possibility to have a problem in the 2 Slot? Or is associated with failure of the BIOS? (there is no more recent BIOS, current is 2.20 for Satellite S1800-100).

    I am disappointed. I bought a new 128 MB PC100, to insert it in the slot 2, my Toshiba didn't boou up!.

    Important note: if I connect the new memory I bought yesterday, works very well in Slot 1.

    Please help and understanding.

    Kind regards...

    Hello

    Well, it very difficult to say why it won't start.
    I think that there are several possibilities:

    (1.) you used a bad module
    (2.) the second Bank of the Board of Directors has a malfunction
    (3.) the laptop does not support max 256 MB of RAM

    I think that point 1 and 3 is not relevant because you have tested the module and it worked on the first location. Additional the laptop should be able to handle 2 x 256 MB memory, so you should be able to use 2 x 128 MB

    I think that the second ram location may have a malfunction.
    Please check the second slot with a module of memory.

    The second possibility is to use exactly the module which is recommended by Toshiba.
    As I remember it s PC100 128 MB (PA3005U) SDRAM

    Hello

    Satellite L300 - 17L is equipped with INTEL graphics 965GM (CRESTLINE) controller! If your GPU driver works fine!

    With regard to the VAP:
    First of all, you must update the BIOS to the latest State and then you should try to reinstall the VAP for Win 7.
    Don t install Power Saver for Win XP because it won't work!

    Hello

    My poor mother is quite upset! Its Satellite L30 PSL33E just died.

    It completely off and now won't start at all.
    Orange light flashes six times when you press the power button.
    No hard drive, fan, screen or any other noise / activity.

    She tried without the battery.

    A kind of hardware failure, I guess.

    Any ideas what this blink code means?

    Thanks in advance,
    D.

    I put t know what the code means, but you can read it. short means 0 and 1 long

    In any case, the error code means that a hardware failure has been detected on the motherboard and motherboard replacement could help you?
    Why?

    because what is really hard to fix a motherboard for laptop very s.
    It especially not possible if you n t s have sufficient knowledge, experience, and special tools.

    I think that either you contact the ASP in your country and ask a difficulty or you'll have to buy a new laptop ;(

  • Satellite L300 - 'W' and 'F' keys not working do not - cannot open a session

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
    My 'F' and 'w' keys do not work and because I have a built-in HARD drive password containing these letters, I can't start my computer.

    I got a problem "starting" a few months back, and what I had to do was restore my laptop to an earlier date. I did it through management of Boot at startup. The only thing is that I don't remember how to do it now.

    I can't find the restore disks that could come with my laptop - so the only way I can do, thanks to a Startup Manager.

    So, how do you do a system restore? or y at - it another way to solve this problem?

    Help, please! :)

    Hello

    If I understand your case, the HARD disk password has been set and now you are not able to boot the laptop because the password can not be typed due to the defective keyboard.
    Right?

    Hmm, replace the keyboard buddy I think it's just the ideal solution.
    Of course, you can try to plug an external USB keyboard but I don't know if it will generally work at the BIOS level, it should work, but in the worst case you will need a new internal keyboard m.

  • Satellite P300-156 won't start or by MAIL

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P300-156 I bought a few months as damaged. The screen has been damaged and the case slightly cracked. I replaced the screen and hard drive and main card seems to have no physical damage. I've been running this system for 3 months now without any problem but, today, for some reason, it won't start or even POST. It powers on and the CPU fan starts to turn then stops and does nothing. No display (I tried external). CD player works. No beeps.

    I tried reinstalling RAM even open completely and reinstalling all connections, nothing done. Does anyone have an idea what component is gone? (CPU/GPU/RAM)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    Did you update the BIOS or something?
    For me, this is a normal behavior when the BIOS chip is faulty.

  • Satellite L300-01:00 - DMA does not not Windows XP

    Hello

    I have toshiba Satellite L300-01:00 (PSLBGE) laptop.
    After you install the operating system (windows xp 32B) I installed all the drivers for toshiba web except one - Intel Matrix Storage 8.6.

    This driver could not be installed on my laptop (installation ends with error - your laptop doesn't respond prerequisites not useful).

    After all, my drive works only in PIO and I can't operate in DMA (I assume it's due to the installation of intel matrix storage failure).

    Could someone help me?
