• Satellite L40 - 14 H - do not start after the successful BIOS update

  Hello

  I have Satellite L40 - 14 H which was working fine until I thought to an update of the BIOS will not hurt. Seems I was wrong.

  I downloaded the update to the BIOS, it unzipped in a folder and started the action.

  After a few seconds was asked to wait, and then after few more firm.

  After the reboot, I pressed F2 to enter the BIOS and check that it is version everything was fine, version 2.0 so was I left once the parameters.

  After that, nothing happened.

  I almost tried everything without success. Removed the power and battery power, put their back, but still no start. Just the light of the HARD drive lights up for a few seconds and the cd turns a bit, but after that nothing happens at all and completely the screen is black.

  I don't know anything else to try.

  Please let me know what that can do to restore its functionality without taking it to the service, I can't do it.
  I think that may not be cause of failure of the BIOS update I have seen it is the version and was right.
  Is it possible to reset the BIOS? I need to disassemble the laptop to do this?
  Let me know what to do, I have good experience in such things, but I can't understand this.

  Thanks in advance for any response.

  Kind regards
  Stefan

  Hello

  I agree with Akuma. It really isn't that you can do about it. BIOS problems are complex and cannot be set by the owner of the laptop. Believe me you need professional help with this.
  Contact the closest Toshiba ASP and explain the situation.

• Satellite C665 is damaged, will not start

  My internet and satellite C665 has been corrupted after download. The hard drive is ok because it works in my other Toshiba Satellite. The other Toshiba satellite hard drive now works an ok. But when I put the original back hard drive, he goes to the Toshiba page and you got to the bios.

  I found out, after having tried everything, that I change the Advanced Start affecting fast it starts the next time. But after that, I have to go into the bios every time and change it back to normal changes, this return to fast and save and exit. Sometimes, it connects directly or to turn it off and it starts when I turn it on again. Very annoying.
  Also, it will start up fine if I do a restart or hibernation. Although this morning he gave me a shock because doing nothing for a while when I left it on hibernate during the night.

  Impossible to Flash the bios because it doesn't allow me to update and says that he does not update because I have the same version.
  does not start on USB or DVD.

  I'm going crazy!

  Stand by. More important is to make data backup. I hope that you copied all important data and make backup.

  Now, when the data is backed up put disk HARD starts back, your laptop, enter the BIOS and set it to default settings. After this verification, if the HDD is recognized correctly.
  To be honest I don't know what the problem is there but, in my view, the next step should be to test with factory settings so please use the recovery disk, if you have one and reinstall Windows recovery image and test mobile with its own OS preinstalled.

• Satellite C660D - 10 d will not start unless I have remove the battery and reinsert

  Present a strange problem that I can't solve.

  Brand new, open all laptop worked perfectly.

  Turned off normally and left it overnight with the power supply connected.

  Next day morning pushed the button market / stop the portable green power on but light did not start.

  Press and hold the button for 10 seconds does nothing.

  I remove the battery for 10 seconds and put again and then you press the power button and you get a full boot up normally.

  Everything on it works perfectly, you can restart the laptop without problem, you can even turn off then turn on half an hour later with no problems.

  This problem occurs only when it is off and that the power is plugged in for several hours.

  Back to toshiba warranty, I've attached a note explaining the problem and even returned what he locked up so he wouldn't turn until they removed the battery.

  10 days later they returned it saying that the intensively checked the laptop and found no abnormalities.

  I plugged the battery and pressed the power button / stop and the same question once again outside of this period, that the fan runs for 2 seconds then turns off, I removed and re inserted the battery about 15 times before it started normally.

  Last night went out as normal and this morning the question of the standard of don't turn is not on at all.

  Just to clarify him when the power supply is left connected overnight or for several hours so that the system is power off the laptop does not start, the Green led lights, no fans spin, no sign of life. One way to start is to remove the battery for 10 seconds.

  I've been on toshiba again and said that if I return it a second time and they can't find a fault that I would have to pay £80 for it returned. I recorded the fault to prove that they is a fault but they seem not interested in that.

  Up to now, the bios has been updated, reinstalled windows, I can't replace drive HARD or RAM that the warranty will be voided. However issue and im 90% that this is a motherboard.

  All the ideas that I'm completely stuck on this one!

  Sorry to hear you I have a problem with your laptop.
  Problem you have is certainly hardware related issue and it should be solved by Toshiba.
  In my opinion you should not spend money for new parts, trying to solve this problem.

  Laptop warranty valid and should be set the laptop for free.

• Satellite P20-761: Windows will not start - it loads agp.sys then freezes

  When I pass my laptop it starts with the Toshiba logo as if commissioning, but then the screen goes black with the following message:

  We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware of software change might have caused this... etc etc.

  Then I have a list of options to choose from:

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Last good known Configuration
  Start windows normally

  If I have the choice between the options of safe mode the screen goes through a list of files ending with: multi (0) disk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVE.sys, then freezes.

  If I have the choice between the last two options simply, the screen goes black and nothing happens.

  Of I'm desperate is not to lose all the data that I have accumulated on the laptop. Stupid me not a not bother with backups.

  Discs only can I find supplied with the laptop are 'tools and utilities' and 'product recovery dvd - rom '. Seeing that I am not a technical interest, I'm afraid to try just in case I lose all my most important files.

  Help, please! Answers must be plain English as like I said I'm not really technical. Thank you. I cross my fingers.

  Sounds like something wrong with the graphics card or with the graphics driver.

  I think that you have no other choice than to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and attempt to reinstall the OS. I hope that the graphics card doesn t malfunctions.

  It's very sad, because in this case, you will lose the data on the HARD drive.
  Optionally, you can remove the HARD drive and then to connect to little via the USB port on the other computer, then you can make a backup of your data.

  > I was updating my BIOS on toshiba website and while he was installing the battery has been disconnected and when I turned on my computer laptop back I got was a black screen, the fans would start and thecd rom would turn

  I m afraid the BIOS update has no procedure and therefore the ROM chip has not updated as it should. This is the reason why the laptop can not start correctly.

  I think that it of necessary to reflash the ROM BIOS module Once again, but this can be done only using a procedure of BIOS of crisis.
  As far as I know this can be done only through ASP because there is no traditional BIOS version by download.

• Satellite 3000 - X 4 will not start

  The machine does not start even in safe mode. Is this an indication that my hard drive failed?

  Hello

  It is possible that your device cannot start because of a malfunction of the HARD drive, but as Bob said try to start the device using the Windows startup disk and try to make access to the HARD disk (drive C).

• Satellite M45-s359, Windows will not start

  I have a problem with this laptop. I simply re - install Windows and everything worked perfectly.
  Well I started to updated with windows update, but it took too long, and I had to turn it off

  The next day, I came and turn on the computer laptop everything seems to work fine at that time, Toshiba screen and then black with white letters (I don't remember what they say), then the screen goes black and nothing happens.

  I know that the laptop is on the cause of the leds in the front. I tried to turn it out and a star above, but the same result.
  I myself have the installation and the tower to the configuration by default to try more options, but the same result. I think to could be a problem with the screen, so I Plug and external one no result either.

  The computer was working fine... so I started to get worried (I am still worry).

  I tried to boot with a CD, did not work, boot with Xp CD did not work.
  I think that I have not tried many options but this where I got so far.

  The laptop had some problems with overheating, but I do not know if that have something to do, make turns on.

  Any suggestion? (btw, I open the part where the cooler is and nothing smells bad).

  Hello

  My understanding of the notebooks, question had begun after that windows update was not completed. I think it s a system problem.

  But I wonder why you are not able to boot from the recovery CD or the own Windows XP CD and impossible to reinstall the operating system. ?:|

  You should try to press the C key immediately after that laptop was turned on.
  This would allow the start-up of the ODD (CD/DVD drive).
  However, you can also use the F12 key. This button would allow the start menu. Then you may choose the CD/DVD drive and could boot from the bootable CD.

  Feedback would be appreciated

• Satellite A105-S4164 - will not start only white screen

  Hi all
  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A105-S4164 that will not start.

  I thought that maybe there is a problem with the battery. I took out the battery and then plugged the laptop to the power outlet, makes no difference. The blue lights in the front of the laptop, lights, but I hear no noise from the motherboard or the fan. The laptop is bought in July 2006 and it is out of warranty.
  All I see is a white screen.

  My guess is that the motherboard must be replaced. I have also had kept with Symantic anti-virus and windows updates XP before April 1, 2009.

  Thank you for your comments.

  Seyed

  You can see an image on an external monitor?

  Well, I think that in this case the laptop must be verified by the technician for laptop. You should contact an ASP and ask for help. It would be the best way because the technician can be sure what parts are defective.

• 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.

• Recovery disk will not start on Satellite 1110

  I try to use the recovery on a Satellite 1110 CD. I want to just install fresh Windows. The necessary files are supposed to be on the Toshiba recovery CD that accompanies it.

  So I did what the brochure says, and booted up the laptop to the top with the correct CD in the drive, while pressing 'C '. The notebook ignored the CD ROM and loaded Windows as usual. I repeated three times, each time that the CD ROM whirs a bit but will not start and Windows loads as usual. I have replaced 'C' for F12, chose the CD ROM drive in the list and repeat the process several times. Yet once it wouldn't boot from the CD-ROM.

  I looked at the content of the CD ROM A single MB 447. File of the GHS. The file icon is that generic type "Windows does not know what program this icon is intended to" deals.

  Google believes it is a ghost file and must the ghost installed to run it. This bitch never came with Ghost.

  Anyone here knows a remedy to this problem?

  (NB - I tried clean Windows system restore option, but it just brings back me to September this year. Theres no option that was more early in life for portable computers)

  I am in the United Kingdom, and is a UK machine if that makes a difference.

  Hello Micha

  Is this your ODD works properly with the operating system?

  I put really know what exactly is happening here, but please make sure that you start with recovery CD number 1/2 2/2. The installation of recovery, you can just start with the first recovery CD. Also try please set CD-ROM as firs boot device in the BIOS.

• Satellite Pro M10 will not start again and comes up with the error message

  My laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 will not start again and comes up with the error message "load error" when I press the power button.
  The arised problem after installation of the 'symantec system works' and try to restart windows XP Professional to make the installed executable program.

  What can I do to get the notbook again reboot?

  Hello

  Seems that there are problems with the files of GoBack.

  Try to boot in safe mode and remove the Norton System works from your laptop ;)
  If this does not help, you will need to recover the laptop with the recovery CD Toshiba delivered!

  Also I recommend to visit the Symantec support site and to check the solutions to the problem with the Norton System Works programs

  Good luck
