Satellite L40 - 15G - does not start, only power LED lights

Hello.

I have a Satellite L40 - 15G that will not start. I click the power button, or with the battery, and only the power led alternately. I can open and close the cd/dvd, but nothing else works. No beeps when I remove the memory, the hard drive led blinks even. I tried with another hard drive, and it's the same thing.

Could this be the motherboard, the processor?

Appreciate the help!

Hello

Unfortunately, it looks like a hardware malfunction. I guess that it s related to the motherboard or perhaps CPU, if you have already tried another memory module.

You should go to an authorized service provider. Guys have good diagnostic tools to check your laptop and repair. In addition, they can order spare parts Toshiba.

Sorry, but everything that s what I can say. Here he only a user to s forum

    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.

  • Satellite L40 - 10U - does not start

    Hello

    My Satellite L40 - 10U won't boot to the top. I turn it on, fan, DVD-ROM, battery LED works. Hard drive LED flashes only once (if I'm lucky). The screen is blank, in the light of the Sun, I noticed it darkenes lit, but no other activity (I tried external, still nothing). I also tried the trick with removing the battery push the power button, and plug the charger, etc but still nothing.

    Now, I noticed that when I remove the Rams (or try connecting only once in time) it still does exactly the same thing, so I want to make sure if it is a problem with the Rams dead? Is there a way to check the Rams without connecting to another obstacle not tariff (I did not)?

    And what happens at this point? Laptop will stay on or get OFF automatically?

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

  • 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 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?

  • Satellite A200-AH1 does not start problem

    I have this Toshiba Satellite A200 - AH1 laptop computer that will not start.

    The system has 1 GB of RAM, (2x512MB).

    When I remove 1 stick, the system starts without a problem, if I replace it, and the other, the laptop boots also upwards. I tested the two ram slots and ram spent each time.

    The problem of the laptop does not start only seems to happen when the laptop has installed two sticks. I tried even to 2 different new corresponding sticks and still nothing until I remove 1 piece of ram.

    Everyone encountered this problem before?
    Any ideas what the problem may be.

    My only other option would be to install a single piece of 1 GB of ram, but I would really like a better option.

    Thanks in advance...

    > The system has 1 GB of RAM, (2x512MB).
    You got your laptop with these memory modules?
    Are you sure that you are using compatible RAM (DDR2-667)?

  • 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 A200-1If does not start after the BIOS update

    Hello

    It is my first time on the forum posting, I hope someone can help me.
    I recently downloaded the latest update of the Bios (bios - 20090121132526.zip) for my laptop. I ran the bios Setup, after the update it restarted my laptop, but then he went to a black screen and no longer start.
    When I press the power button only power led lights, fans begin to turn and the DVD - rom turns and stops and the screen is blank.
    I am running Vista Home premium 32-bit.

    Can anyone provide a solution on what I can do to fix this?

    Was the system standby standby/extended/recovery?

    Its important to cold starts of the system before and after an update of the BIOS.

    You could try to remove one of the modules RAM (change RAM size) and turn on, otherwise the system may need to be sent to an ASP for repair.

  • Satellite 2450 does not start - only in safe mode

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my Satellite 2450 where it is not initialize properly - is stuck in the screen of Windows XP (just continues to scroll through and hangs there).
    I can boot into safe mode.
    Have not had any other problems with it - no errors, do not have installed/uninstalled anything recently.

    Any ideas what could cause this problem?
    Do you think I should use the recovery disk to reinstall the OS? Anything less drastic I can try?

    any advice appreciated,
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Usually, if the laptop does not start correctly in normal mode, but only in SafeMode because some drivers or / and software applications are false or defective.
    In this case, the recovery procedure should solve this problem.
    If you n t have the Toshiba Recovery CD, you can install from the original CD of Microsoft's operating system, and then you can try to install stuff together from Toshiba (driver, tools)
    These software, you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

  • Satellite 1800-814 does not start if the power adapter is plugged

    Hello
    I have a problem with my 3 year old, 1800-814.
    It all started with the sudden Windows crashes. He ran sometimes smooth, sometimes he just hung up. So I decided to reinstall the laptop. My problem is when it is plugged by pressing the power on button does not start the laptop. Just the green light is on nothing else happens. Sometimes it starts after a wait of 3 or 5 seconds. On battery it starts every time. What can I do? A defect material or just dust somewhere?

    Thank you

    Jens Grieger

    Hello

    It could also be something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.
    It s is not possible for the user to fix it. In such cases, the best way is to contact Toshiba service in your country.

    When I had cleared I tried to install windows home edition, Ive had a satellite before this problem and that fixed it, but a blue screen keeps popping up saying that the computer stopped inorder to damage it.

    I tried at home, Proffessional and even a vista upgrade disc and nothing works.

    So I really need to know what went wrong and how to fix it.

    Hello

    To me, this looks like a serious hardware problem.
    If you are not able to reinstall the operating system on the HARD drive then some of the equipment should work.
    It of difficult to say what role could be faulty we can assume only what could be wrong

    If the BSOD appears the first part that should be checked is RAM module.
    The faulty RAM memory may be the reason for BSOD and therefore, it would be interesting to know if the new RAM would solve this problem
    You can delete only one module of RAM and could try to start the laptop comes with an installed module.

    If it doesn't, then you need a help of a technician for laptop
    Guys could check essential components such as the CPU or the motherboard

  • 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.
