Please help me I have not installed any hardware or changed any material!

It is a toshiba Satellite L40

Hello

You should try to first remove the battery and disconnect the power adapter for about 20-30 min. after that time reconnect both part and try to start Notepad.
Usually, this should help to restart the laptop.

In addition, a BIOS update must be performed.
I read that a BIOS update resolves many strange problems and that I myself remember the black screen problem could be solved also.

So check it out and good luck

    Hello

    You mean that you are not able to access the BIOS?
    Have you tried to use the FN + F5 key combination to switch to view different devices? Select this check box. Maybe the output display has been switched to external monitor?  :|

  • Satellite L775D-10W - stucks Boot: black screen + mouse cursor visible

    Dear supporters,

    Model: Satellite L775D-10W
    Operating system: Win7 64 bit
    Problem: The procedure start STRP stuck after "Windows load data" and a progress undertitled with 'Microsoft Corporation' bar, resulting a black screen and a mobile mouse cursor.

    The same problem occurs every time...
    pressing F8 > options (safe vaissaille mode) > start gets stuck
    Boot from DVD of Win7 64 bit > startup gets stuck
    Boot from DVD of Win7 64 bit > options > start gets stuck

    It is likely that the graphics card is broken or that the driver no longer appropriate?

    Thank you for your time in advance!

    Greetings

    Graphics card problem may be possible but in this case the POST (power on self test) would not be passed, and in my opinion, it is not possible to access the BIOS.

    However, it's just a theory
    Try to start Notepad using some Live CD like Linux

    I would also recommend to start the advanced boot menu. (by pressing F8) and choose repair my computer option.
    Then select Toshiba HDD recovery

    This option would be to recover the laptop back to factory settings.

  • Satellite A210 - 11 p - gos black screen and HARD drive does not

    Hello

    My Satellite A210 - 11 p suddenly goes to a black screen and the hard drive stops working. It is always under tension and if I want to restart I have to unplug the unit and remove the battery.

    I thought it was overheating and checked the time and they were really high in the 1980s. I took the fan and cleaned (very dusty) and the basic form of thermal paste. Temperatures plummeted now immediately but I still have the same problem, I updated the graphics driver and watched the temp on GPU (which is fine) but the problem is still happening. I used a number of programs to check for errors on the hard drive and no reported problems. I reloaded Windows 7 but still no joy.
    The problem seems to occur at any time and is not due to the execution of a given program, even just browsing with firefox

    Not too sure what to do and any advice would be welcome.

    Hey Buddy,

    > I reloaded Windows 7 but still no joy.
    Have you ever tried with Toshiba Recovery disk operating system?

    The Toshiba recovery disc there is an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools. If you install Windows on this disk, you factory back.

    That would mean if you have the same problem after the installation of recovery it s really bad hardware working because you have pretested settings of Toshiba. In this case an authorized service provider can help you make an accurate diagnosis what part is affected.

  • Windows Resume Loader black screen on HP Pavilion dv4-2145 dx laptop Windows 7

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4-2145 dx laptop with Windows 7. After pressing the button "on", the logo operation windows says its "recovery" windows, but a black screen titled "Windows Resume Loader" appears with the following message:

    The last attempt to resume the system from its previous location failed. Attempt to resume again?

    With the 2 following options:

    1. continue with system summary, (which does not work and I end up with the resumption of the "Windows" followed a blank black screen...)

    2 Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu (I haven't ' truei stops because I wasn't sure what that meant)

    But I managed to go to the reviews section diagnostic systems and it seems that he pass all 5 of the test, including hard drive and memory, poster, etc. So I don't know what the problem...

    Please notify.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I think that in this case, you will have to choose the second option - "Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu" and see if that fixes the problem.  If all etc. documents you had open before hibernation were saved, then you should not lose anything.  If there are unsaved changes (for example if you have added to a document), the file will be to the point that his last record and you lose additional data.

  • Satellite C660/C660D starts not (black screen)

    So this morning after having attempted to power my Toshiba Satellite C660/C660D upward I met up with a black screen.

    The power lights both work and light, fans the vortex when I turn on but nothing ever comes on the screen, I was wondering if someone could help here?

    It is less than 3 months.

    To be honest I really don t know how to help you.
    Remove the battery, leave the laptop for a while and try to start the laptop with AC power only. Try to do several times with or without battery. If nothing is done it must be a hardware problem, so I recommend you contact Toshiba service and ask for help.

    Guarantee is valid, then there is no reason to worry about this.

I was wondering if anyone has a solution because I'm very reluctant to release zero/restore my windows partition as it was working fine before the next time I turned on the computer and other forums seem to lean toward a display problem.

  • My Satellite L505D goes to a black screen after startup

    It seems to boot up properly and everything. It starts Windows 7 and goes to the user selection screen, but since there is only 1 user, it only says: Welcome to the loading circle. But when he tries to load the page office or home or whatever you call, all that happens is the mouse.

    I can move the mouse normally, my anti anti-virus pop ups see the place if necessary. On my last attempt to try to solve the problem, I got my user to open the file, but has happened automatically. I tried taking the battery twice thing. If any ideas on why the screen just looks like a black screen and the mouse visible.

    PS: I use the keys ctrl + alt + del function to get these options appears.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to understand why all this is happening, but what you can try is to start the operating system in safe mode and roll back the OS to an earlier time to see if it works.

    Can you please try this and post comments.

    Do as a first step. Later, we see what can be done.

  • Satellite L555 simply freezes with black screen (White Stripes)

    Hello

    I'm having some problems with my new Toshiba Satellite L555 laptop, it is simply freeze and appears a black screen with white bands.
    He don't do it regularly, but it's annoying.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    The possible reasons:

    1. a malfubction graphics card
    Malfunctioning of the internal display 2. You can view the external monitor to see how it is?

    As little as possible:

    1 a graphics driver
    2 operating system itself. Have you tried to reset to factory settings (F8)?

    Otherwise, you must contact the Asp (SAV) in your country. Your laptop is still new and under warranty, so it will fix it for free.

  • Windows Vista won't load - black screen each laptop time starts

    I have a Dell Insipron 1525, which does not load Windows Vista.

    I can't go past the Recovery Manager screen every time you start, and although I tried all the options available, it does not open in safe mode or normally.

    I tried the system restore (even if it says that it cannot find valid 'points'), as well as the repair of the system, and I have also run the Diagnostics, who said there is no error (although I could not see the final report). All paths lead ultimately to the black screen and although I can see and move the cursor, it is that I can get. Any ideas please?

    Thank you very much!

  • Satellite L670 - stuck on the black screen

    Hello

    I have problem with my L670 after 2 years of its use.
    When I press the power button, black screen comes with a slider that is not flashing.
    I can't get into BIOS, F2, F12, nothing works.
    So I tried to remove battery, press power button / stop for 10 seconds (all I found on the web) etc and nothing worked. (only ctrl + alt + delete to reboot)
    And I discovered that * when I unplug receiver MicroUSB * for wireless mouse, laptop will start normally and I can connect when WIndows starts.

    Also I reset the default BIOS and this problem is still there.
    I used this mouse/USB for months, what could be the problem, why this is happening?

    It is really strange. Have you changed or something like update the installed BIOS?
    Can you please test it standby and Hibernate? What is the result? Everything is OK after waking up?

  • Satellite L300-1AP and Win8 - black screen on startup

    Hello

    My computer starts as usual, the first screens come well and it will also in the journal of the user on the fine screen.

    However when he was usually in the Windows 8 home screen it goes just a black screen.

    The mouse icon is still there and the work, but the only thing that I can get up is the Task Manager.

    No idea what it is? Eventually a failure of a Windows 8 pilot as everything else seems to work?

    Thank you!

    I agree with Timox; It would be interesting to know if the laptop is working correctly by using another system; in the best case with the system pre-installed and pre-configured by Toshiba or Windows 7.

    I m interested also in the installation procedure you install Win8? Did move you from Win 7 to 8 Win or did you do a fresh install?
