Satellite L300 will not start

AY up!

I have a rather old L300 series which I'll put up like a computer diagnostic car dedicated. It does not attempt to start up, at all. I changed the RAM (2 GB) and hard drive (XP system) both with new components. The original, Vista hard drive, is in rude health.

When you turn it on, the fan works, but nothing on the screen or the LEDs, I did the obvious things, any other ideas?

AY up!

My Toshiba Satellite L300 series shot tools. I changed disk cards and hard memory, put new components in both cases. Thinking that maybe the BIOS battery, I put the machine in charge. Nothing.

When I turn on, the led lights green power as does the charging light when it is connected, then the fan starts. It is not "beep" to indicate the beginning of the start, nor does the HDD LED light. The battery is old, but still has enough power for 30 minutes running. On battery? Similarly.

I did the standard things here, any ideas as to what I can do? I'm talented mechnically but computers are a book closed for me.

Help, please...

  • Satellite L300 - will not start after the installation of Skype

    My Toshiba Satellite L300 won't start after installing Skype.
    This happened to someone else, and can I do?

    Thank you.

    I think Skype is probably the most used messenger and ideal application for communication.
    It is professionally designed and programmed. As you know in recent years, it has been offered in many different versions and it is always better and better.

    So I think that Skype itself is probably not the problem. I know that a lot of people also use Skype and I've never heard problem described.

    Anyway, what you can try is to remove Skype and try to install it again. Try also push the BONES at that earlier time. Maybe some Microsoft updates are responsible for the stability of the software.
    It's really not easy to say what the problem is here.

  • Satellite L300 will not start even in safe mode

    Hello.

    Whenever I turn on my laptop, it shows me two options: start windows normally or perform a system repair.
    I tried both of these options, but I can't seem to access the page where I have to enter my password to access my desktop, I tried a number of things by pressing F8 during startup, including startup repair up to and restore to the previous point, but nothing happened.

    I have the vista operating system and it seems to freeze immediately after loading (the long rectangular bar with the Green thing from left to right, saying Microsoft Corp. below). It freezes... the page is all black and my cursor is there, I can move the cursor, but nothing is there to click on. HDD/ODD lights do not Flash indicating that the laptop is not all 'work '.

    In addition, it took me to a page where he was "collection of data for the crashdump"... don't know what this means but yes and it also took me to a page where it says 'one of your disks should be checked for consistency. He also posted a message saying that the registry file failure does not load. Systemreboot/System32/config/system

    I start it in safe mode and it shows a bunch of files and says please wait.
    After my computer goes on a blank page (all black) but I can see and move my cursor and it is bigger than usual so I guess he's about to go to safe mode, but just, he remains on the screen and does nothing else.
    He was about 35 minutes and it's still at this screen, that nothing has changed.

    Thanks for your help :)

    Hello

    Try to recover the device by using the drive HARD recovery option.
    I hope you didn t change anything on the HARD drive recovery partition.
    HARD drive recovery allows you to reinstall the operating system without the use of all disks!

    Turn on the device, press F8, choose repair my computer and choose the option to drive HARD recovery.
    Usually, it would begin the new installation of the OS. But note; HARD drive recovery option would be to format the whole HARD drive, which means that you will lose all files stored on the HARD drive.

  • Re: Satellite L300 will not start in the BIOS

    Hello

    When I press F2 or F12, nothing happens the computer laptop stops booting, even the HDD light flashes).
    I can't get into the BIOS!

    If I do not press a button any after power on, then Windows Vista starts Ok.
    Two months after F12 I could choose the Boot by USB - entrance.

    Please, help me to solve it.

    When you see the Toshiba logo on the screen you see in the background statement: Press F2...?

    This happens for the first time?
    Might have turned quick-start option?
    Check this please. Open Toshiba assist > optimize > HWsetup > boot priority > make sure bot speed is set to normal.

  • Re: Satellite L300 will not start and cannot restore HARD drive

    I have a L300 which stops just to start (after that the screen flash BIOS) with a single cursor flashing when I boot from the HARD disk. I can access the bios Setup and boot from the CD. I took the HARD drive connected to my external USB adapter on another PC and I can see partitions C and D and read the files correctly. I noticed that there is a directory called 'HDD recovery' on the D drive, but I don't have a recovery CD or another program to restore it.

    I found a boot of Vista recovery disc and it allows me to start a version of vista recovery but when I check the windows system can't find any errors. Also, if I choose the system restore then he says that he has no restore file.
    I suspect it's the disk HARD restore being Tosh files and Windows.

    Help someone!

    Set the default BIOS settings and enter the Advanced Start parameters using F8 at startup.
    You can boot OS using the safe mode option?

  • Satellite L300 will not Windows load when using AC adpater

    L300 I used for 2 1/2 years has now developed fault because it will run when it is connected to the power supply - it won't start Windows. Laptop will charge of battery and then as usual using the battery. Then when connect it powers down and no sector will not start Windows.

    It is fine if I want to use that 2 hours and then recharge the battery and restart then disconnected from the main supply - which I did not I can't keep charging every 2 hours.

    I have reloaded windows with all updates of nominal and have tried to use different power adapter - same question.

    I do not understand why the L300 charges & works by using the battery, but does not work when it is connected to the power supply?

    Has anyone else had a similar problem? or knows how to solve?
    Do I need a BIOS update? or is it a more serious problem that does not work the power regulator?

    > Laptop will charge of battery and then as usual using the battery

    Hmm its strange usually if the AC adapter is defective, then s battery should not charge it is difficult to believe that this matter would be linked to the faulty adapter. In my opinion it of mobo problem and the solution might be an expensive

  • Satellite A40 will not start or start the BIOS

    Hello

    I have a portable Satellite A40 2 days ago decided to turns off while I was on the internet, and now it does not restart. I tried removing the battery and leave overnight, but it still will not start. When give you it power outlet, the AC LED is green and if you press the button power turns on the green power light, but that's all, the HARD drive light does not illuminate, the fan does not come on, no sound from the HARD drive and nothing on the screen, not even the backlight. You can also feel the heatsink gets hot (without excess however)

    If you insert a CD, you can here read the disc, and find things out there, too, now the power button still cut off the laptop.

    If anyone has any advice on what may be the cause, or any way I can get the machine to reboot again, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if pictures or anything else appears on the second monitor?

    Your description sounds like the malfunctioning of the internal display, but it is only a suggestion and a few trials are required to obtain a diagnosis right.

  • Satellite A500 will not start

    I have an A500 on 12 months old that will not start.

    The battery light shows white and power on AC light is on as well.
    When button "power on" is pressed and released the laptop IT flashes briefly then the battery lights up orange briefly and the light goes out.

    Battery has been divested of the case and it was completely discharged and it still will not with or without the battery. He has been connected to a different power of toshiba with the same results.

    The difficulty feeding saw two days ago. After that about 10 minutes to load then turned on.

    I saw a post where the guy was acquitted of the internal cmos memory and he ends up - which would have something to do with it?

    Any clues anyone?

    Hello

    I think that it s something wrong with the motherboard or a part of the motherboard.
    The point is this laptop should turns on even if the battery is empty and the power adapter is plugged so maybe it s something wrong with the memory supply or electronic power on the motherboard.

    I recommend you check the parts of memory first. Remove a module and try to start the device using that one module.

    Of course this can not help you too... so in this case, it could be a severe motherboard issue...

  • Re: Satellite U300 will not start

    The machine has failed at a conference while using only the word and not on any network.

    Now the machine will not start orrepair and even the recovery disk will not work. He gets to the part where he asked for the language and then freezes on the next screen. I ran a disc hard diagnosis progam which reports no errors but I don't know enough about such things.

    The drive light flashed hard and I can hear the work of the reader, but nothing happens.

    Help, please

    Hello!

    It's strange, but in your case I would try to format the HARD drive before using the recovery disk.
    There, you can use the Microsoft Windows XP disk or another tool that allows you to format the HARD drive.

    If you have formatted the drive HARD try again with the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start

    I have a portable Satellite Pro L300 and he won't start (in other words the power button and not going not past the first screen).

    Works for keyboard, but F2, F8 or F12 will not do anything, I can't here the disk hard powerup but it's like no one is at home. I don't know if it's the motherboard or the onboard battery. The computer is about 7-8 years

    Can anyone help.

    It s certainly nothing wrong with a RTC battery (as you said internal battery).
    The RTC battery can be charged. The unit must be turned on and adapter must be connected at least for about 18 hours.
    But I guess that this isn't a problem.

    The laptop does not start because of a hardware malfunction, but it's hard to say what role may be affected. But you should absolutely consult the RAM modules.
    This should be the first step, since the RAM modules are easy to replace.

    All other parts should be checked by the type of service.

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start after the Bios Update

  • Satellite A100 will not start

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-151, which does not start.

    A batery 11 times blink when I press the a/c power and nothing happens.
    Before that, I pressed too many keys f1 - f12 because it has stopped responding and a blue screen (memory error in the kernel) appeared.

    I tried:
    out/HDD, memory slot, battery and tried also reset with the AC button pressed without the battery.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

    Best regards

    As you know on this virtual path is not easy to say what the problem is here, but after reading your ad, I think there must be a problem with electronic control gear. It is placed on the motherboard.

    Problem is that work around is quite limited and I can see what you have already tried all the logical steps to check if computer laptop will be able to start on a path.

    I'm afraid it is worth noting that you can do except to communicate with the service of Toshiba and ask help from m.

  • Satellite L300D will not start

    Hello

    I have a satellite L300D 11v. Power I have three lights green, power, suite and battery, DVD looking for some time nothing happens.

    Tried many things.
    Interchangeability and remove the ram with restarts
    Removing and replacing HD
    Remove the battery, hold the power button for a minute then power application and try to turn on,.
    As above with the battery.
    None of the above has worked, I suspect either of the BIOS chip lost his memory or it is fried.
    I will try to reinstall the BIOS memory, but without the work of the OS I'm not sure how do.
    And I'm not sure that the update of the BIOS I downloaded from Toshiba is correct because of the manual I downloaded was the L350, and yes I have enter the correct details to try three times. Neither seem to be able to know which is the BIOS. I would be grateful if someone could suggest what's wrong with the laptop or the update of the BIOS with the laptop in its current state. And if anyone knows what variant of the BIOS, is that I would also be grateful for this information.

    P.S. I noticed that the same problem was raised on August 12, 2012 with no resolution found.

    On this virtual path t is not easy to offer accurate diagnosis and to say with certainty what the problem is here, but somehow, I think that your BIOS chip is damaged. BIOS update will not help you with that.
    When you start your laptop is stays on or turns off after a certain period of time?

    Hello

    If you have tried different batteries and new AC adapter and the battery still wouldn't load, then I would say; This s hardware problem of the motherboard.
    I think that there is no much do the defective part needs to be replaced

    I think that the ASP must verify the material, you know
    It of the best way to get the issue resolved.
