Satellite L350 not dΘmarre but toshiba logo and windows icon appears

My husband used his laptop (bought new about 13 months) yesterday without any problem at all, but when he tried to start it today, it would not.

The toshiba logo appears, like the icon of the little window at the bottom of the screen, but then the screen goes black and nothing happens. Anyone know what could be the problem and how could this problem be solved?

Nothing stranged happened at all, only windows made an update, and we bought a renewal for McAfee anti virus software it has downloaded... It would be great if someone would have a solution for us, because we currently reside in different countries at the moment and our laptops are basically our "lifeline"...

The laptop came with windows vista on it btw.

Try to start Notepad in SafeMode (F8 at startup) and attempt to restore the operating system to an earlier time using System Restore tool.

You can start a computer laptop in safe mode?

    Hello

    You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
    Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
    on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
    CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
    on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
    by tapping F8 as you start several times.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
    Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
    Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
    field efforts.

    Cannot install the drivers for sound card and audio device is no longer visible or detected in the vista Device Manager. Tried Realtek drivers toshiba download and disk but still no sound or device after reboot.

    its my dads specifications and he says its just stopped working. When I checked initially, the audio device was reported as driver problem in Device Manager. Remove and try to update the driver, no audio device is no longer only show.

    is it possible that the audio device of the motherboard is loose or defective? Toshiba provides software diagnostic tools to check equipment?

    I looked through the windows event logs and discovered several error messages indicating that the PNP device to realtek sound was unexpectedly disconnected.
    don't know if this is due to problem hardware or driver updates.

  • Satellite A660 - question of recovery of the system and Windows software

    Hi all

    I recently bought a new Toshiba laptop and created a set of disks for backup use Toshiba Recovery media creator.
    Now, this laptop is proved to be defective and was exchanged by another.
    There was a slight difference in the software, what the faulty version was preloaded Office 2010 starter and the new Office 2007 trial 60 busy days.

    As I have already created backup discs of the defective model (i.e. same spec/model number) can just recover the system using the device backup discs?

    The reason why I want to do is that I prefer the Office 2010 Starter version (as opposed to the trial version). Software recovery disks that you create on this computer in particular connected serial number is or can I use them on the new machine to replace the identical specifications?

    Thank you

    Generally you can use it if the two laptops have the same part number (model number PAxxxx).

    Before that, you create an original DVD for the machine, you now have. If something goes wrong, you can use the original disc.

  • Not a question, but a solution to unwanted thumbnails appearing in a new tab.

    I was forced to create a new profile, because after an update to version 17.0, Firefox has persisted in tabs from the previous session. Unfortunately another problem developed, namely the constant appearance of a series of thumbnails in a new tab, an installation that I certainly won't. After reviewing the forums and using Mozilla, I tried all the solutions proposed without success.

    Finally, I went to: browser.newtabpage.enabled config and rendering it is false. Dull thumbnails have disappeared!

    Hello

    Sorry, Toshiba provides only the drivers and tools for the OS liveries (M30X: WinXP). But you can search with google for drivers of W2k adapted. I think you will find them!

    Win2003 drivers can be a problem because it is a server operating system and there is not so much drivers for laptop available!

    2. in Device Manager, locate the touchpad, and then double-click the device name.
    3. click Driver tab, then click on set to update driver and follow the instructions.
    4. now Locate Display Adapter and then double-click the device name.
    5. click Driver tab, then click on set to update driver and follow the instructions.

    Now, try to follow the link provided to update a hardware driver that is not working properly and check the question below.

  • EOS Utility does not work after update - 70 d and Windows 8.1

    I hope someone can help. I updated my EOS Utility on 20 July 2015 and passed to EOS Utility 2, including the update (an installation of the add-on on Canon's site). After that, nothing happens when I plug in the camera and try to open EOS Utility. I can hear (jingle) as always, the computer recognizes the camera. Around that day, my computer has also installed a Windows Update.

    I uninstalled EOS and reinstalled, with and without the update. Still nothing happens. Has anyone else had the same problem? On another forum, disable wifi seems to work, but I checked that the wifi is already turned off (even by activating and deactivating re).

    All ideas are accepted with gratitude. Thank you.

    You would be much better to add an exception for the software, you get a flase positive on, to disable AVG.

    You can do within AVG by searching for 'Exceptions' in the 'Advanced settings' dialog box (located in the Options menu).

    This is not uncommon and it just means that there is some pattern of byte in the file that is similar to a known virus.  If you disable AVG you open yourself up to attacks when it is off.  By adding an AVG exception will simply ignore this file, and since you know it's OK, that's for sure.

  • Subfolder and file icons appear "fuzzy" or indistinct and are not accessible by applications. They can be reset?

    All my favorite links IE disappeared after an incident of scamware "Windows Vista repair".  The Favorites folder was still intact under users //favorites, but each category subfolder icon and each subordinate link icon seemed blurred or indistinct.  I had to create a new subfolder for each existing Favorites subfolder and manually filled again with the links by clicking on each link in the old subfolder as an 'add to Favorites' IE in the new subfolder.  Now, I find the same thing with my photos.  I noticed that each user //Pictures icon subfolder and each file in the subfolder name icon is blurry, but when I create a new folder it is crispy. I also noticed that each listed fuzzy subfolder is noted as empty when the cursor passes over it even if each contains the original set of photos.  I don't understand how to recreate the photos under new folders.  Is there anyway to reactivate these files other than their opening, renaming and save under a new name?  My Corel Paint Shop does not recognize these subfolders fuzzy or blurry image files.  Any suggestions?
