Satellite L500-164 does not start sometimes

Heyas!

For most laptop does not start on the first attempt. The Power LED lights up, the cooler and the HARD drive start (it looks that they rotate exactly once) and that's it. After a few seconds the laptop turns off again. There is no screen and the LED on the HARD drive also not would light up. If that happens, I start the laptop again and again. In most cases I need to start 2 - 3 times, but once I had to start 20 times until it worked.

I also tried to start just with the power supply (I hope that's the right word for it, I'm German = D) and took the battery out of it, but the result was the same.

But when the laptop finally started, it works without problem.

Greetings,
Daniel

It is not easy to say what the problem is but it certainly is hardware related issue and your laptop must be verified by the authorized service partner Toshiba. With the help of diagnostic tools that they can find out why this happens.

Here in this virtual world we can only speculate on the possible reasons.

  • Satellite L500-1DT does not start

    Hello

    My laptop Satellite L500-1DT start it is placed in the Startup Repair process automatically look at a diagnostic and repair details that it says it cannot determine what the problem is.
    If I select advanced options, I am asked to choose a key board but then I get a message that says that you must login to access repair features and everything I can do then is to restart.

    If I press F8 and try safe mode I just get the same functionality of repair. I don't know what to do to proceed as the options take me to the same place. Any help would be appreciated

  • Satellite L500-1XL does not start successfully - stay in loop

    The above machine was working fine until today.

    Then when I turned on, it just sat on the Toshiba page, asking me to press F2 or F12.
    I didn't know what to do so I ran the recovery disk (factory) which all seems to install ok but...

    Now when I turn it on, it displays the original Toshiba start screen and stays there until I manually have to press F12 to select boot from the hard drive.
    From there, it takes me to the Windows Boot Manager and I have to select the windows operating system 7.

    Next, I get the "start windows for the first time" screen for a minute or two until it restarts and I have to press F12 again.
    It repeats just all this and more in the loops.

    I tried the recovery disk, but the same thing happens.

    I went into the bios and made sure the hard drive is set as the first boot device and I put the bios by default, but nothing seems to make any difference.

    Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

    > I've been into the bios and made sure the hard drive is set as the first boot device and I put the bios by default, but nothing seems to make any difference.
    Hmm. It was my idea I thought that maybe the HARD drive has not been chosen as first boot device, but it seems that this is not the case.

    I m wondering why you should choose Win 7 in the Boot Manager. Usually, there is only a single OS installed and boot manager should not appear but Win 7shoudl automatically load

    I think you should form the HARD drive once more should be deleted all partitions and then you should try Notepad recovery using the recovery disk
    If that is not enough then I recommend you HARD drive. Perhaps it fails and the new HARD drive would be necessary.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 P200-143 does not start

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

  • Satellite L650 does not start sometimes the Power button

    Sometimes when I press the button works / starting the fan of laptop and the laptop does not start.
    However when I press once again lights up.
    This does not depend on how long you keep holding the power button so that it starts.
    Anyone facing this problem.

    Thank you.

    What exactly do you mean by does not start?
    Is this means that the laptop has been closed or has been set to standby or hibernation mode?

    Are you able to see the Toshiba start screen when you switch on the device?
    If fans hang on this means that the laptop has been put under tension, and then you the OS should start to initialize.

    PS: usually it s no matter how long the power button could be pressed. Briefly press (1 sec) should turn on the laptop.
    But if you do not want to power OFF using the Notepad works / stop, then you will need to tap more long time 4 sec long but it is not recommended that this reset should be made only if the OS hang

    Hello

    This does not seem very well! Would you see the Toshiba logo red when you try to start because when you do not see the Toshiba logo there is a failure that is quite sure of the hardwaree!

    How long it works when it is started?

  • Satellite L300D - 12L does not start from CD/DVD drive

    Hello.

    I noticed a couple of threads on L3x who sometimes won't start but have a blinking cursor.
    I also have this problem with my daughter satellite.

    It occurs when there is a disc in the DVD player. The PC does not start, I get a black screen with a cursor and the DVD flashes regularly as if she is trying to determine if there is a bootable disc inserted.

    I tried several discs with similar results.
    Everything that happens the DVDRW ejects, and I have to force a shutdown, then eject the disc immediately when I start her for it boot on Vista.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Have you tried to boot from the recovery disk Toshiba?

    Fact is if you try to install the Windows operating system on the new laptop series, you must install either the drivers SATA or you must set compatible SATA to AHCI mode in the BIOS!

    That's why check first before you would contact any ASP guy to replace the STRANGE.

  • 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.

  • Satellite L40-139 does not start

    ? 19/02/2014 18:41 - edited? 19/02/2014-18:45

    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 1800-400 does not start, or crashes after upgrading RAM

    I have the original configuration of RAM for the S1800-400 with 120 MB. I bought a 256 MB RAM with the following description: EXT256-3069/JR, MEM 256 MB RA Toshiba Satellite PRO 4600 series C650, PIII-7500/750/800 #PA3069U (I think the brand is Transcend).

    When I put this slot in the machine, keeping the original and start the computer, it does not start, either on the initial screen of freezing before downloading anything either or that goes to the screen where you can start it in safe mode, but then it does not start.

    I removed the new RAM and it works well again.

    What can be the problem:

    (1) is this new RAM is not compatible with the computer? Based on the selections of the internet service provider, it should be (it's a Portuguese company with their own memory configuration options).

    (2) the computer can work with the original 120Mo and the new 256 MB, or should it be both the same size/brand?

    (3) is there any other problem that I don't have?

    TKS

    Hi Ricardo

    I agree with feliks.
    The module is not compatible and not taken in charge can be responsible for your problem.
    The best way is to use the Toshiba recommended of the memory modules.

  • Satellite Pro L50 does not start with 8 GB

    I have a brand new L50 Pro of Satellite (PSKK3A-001001)

    Config of RAM is default of 1 x 4 GB memory DDR3 12800 1 use slot 1 slot free
    I removed 4GB and install 1 DDR3L 12800 8 GB but it does not start.
    The form of State capacity 16 GB so with 2 slots logically, that means 2 x 8 GB cards.
    He also said DDRL, which I assume is the correct type.

    The 4 GB mark was Hynix and the 8 GB is Apacer.
    Anyone have a resolution on this or know what the problem is?

    On this forum you can find many threads where people describe similar problems. In most cases the problem is compatibility modules, especially if Ram needs to be upgraded with modules produced by different manufacturers.

    According to the specifications of the laptop you need DDR3L memory (1600 Mhz).
    Talk with your dealer and ask if there's Kingston compatibility module. Kingston offers high quality and 100% compatible memory modules.
