Satellite L550-1CW does not start by pressing the power button / stop

I have a Toshiba Satellite L550-1cw that won't start, lights up when I press the power button all the lights at the front, the fan starts and he is looking for a HARD drive for about 2 seconds and then stops.

I tried a new HARD drive, but the same happens.
I was told that all this must be ignored and buy a new one that is not an option.
I love this laptop and want to run again as this is the best I have ever owned.

Help, please

Andrew

Can you give us more information on this vulnerability?
You see something on the screen after pressing the power button?
You can access the BIOS by pressing the F2 key immediately after switching on the device?

Despite this whole issue, I think that if nothing is visible on the screen it could be a serious problem with one of the following: RAM modules, motherboard, CPU/GPU.

From my experience the RAM memory modules are not very expensive (2nd hand might be good enough) and the replacement isn t very delicate in the case where the faulty memory causes this problem, the laptop could be set for a little money.

But in case of problems of motherboard, laptop repair procedure could be very expensive.

    Hello @HPDV6-6115TX ,.

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you laptop is not turning on.

    If the laptop has no power, other than the AC adapter connection indication, there is little that can be done.

    The adapter ring is HQ shows a white LED would suggest the adapter supply fine and offer pay-per-view mother, or at least the internal power connector. This means it is a flaw in the motherboard of the laptop and most likely requires a repair.

    You will want to check that the RAM and HARD drive are in place and connected, as well as internal power cable. You can do it by following your product Maintenance & Service Guide.

    HARD drive: Page 62.

    RAM: Page 66.

    Power cable: Page 83.

    If it does not, you will need to contact the HP support by phone for service options. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

    Hi Mayur,

    Welcome to the community,

    Sound signal can be used as a diagnostic indicator. The computer may emit a series of beeps at startup if errors or problems. This series of beeps identifies a problem and is called "beep code".

    See the table below which shows the beep codes and the possible problem:

    Overview of beep Code
    Beeps Description Possible cause
    1 ROM BIOS checksum failure The map system, covers BIOS corruption or errors ROM failure
    2 No memory (RAM) detected Memory or memory slot failure
    3
    • Chipset error (North and South Bridge error)
    • Time-Of-Day Clock test failure
    • Gate A20 failure
    • Super i/o chip failure
    • Keyboard controller failure

  • Satellite A200 23W stop seconds after pressing the power button / stop

    Hello all :)

    I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 23W a few hours ago.
    I turn it on and let it complete the installation of Vista.

    After the installation of Vista finishing it asket to resturn laptop and from that moment, the laptop is "dead".
    After pressing on restart the computer (from Vista) computer turns off without problem, but he never did it again!
    After a few minutes of waiting, I tried to start it by pressing the power button.

    Now when I press the power button, I can hear the HDD work and most of the time until I see something on the screen of the laptop computer stops!
    Now, I noticed that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN light are hot flushing and stop Flash at times.
    Reading the manual, I guess that the DC IN indicator should Flash in all not well.

    I tried to uninstall the battery and try to start the laptop, but in this case I can't even listen to the HDD, commissioning!
    I try to unplag and replag (on the laptop as well as Jack) power cable but again no result.

    Any ideas of what past?
    Thank you very much

    I don't know what the problem is here and, in my view, should not be so important to you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and to talk with him. Explain the situation. You will get may be new notebook. Otherwise, please contact the nearest authorized maintainer and let check your laptop.

    The laptop is brand new and it should work. Please do not wait too long.

  • Laptop does not turn on but the power button is on ip

    I just bought my HP Pavilion 360 less than a month ago and it's been used for research and schoolwork. No virus or threats have been detected. It was working fine today until I had to load it. When it was fully charged, I turned it on and the screen just frozen. I tried to shut down by pressing the power button, but it did not work. Now, to just black screen but the power button turned on (meaning it's on). What should I do?

    1. don't remove the battery from your laptop

    2. just to unplug the AC power from the laptop adapter

    3. press and hold the power button on your laptop for 1 minute

    AFAIK, this should make the difference

  • Satellite A210-199 does not start successfully after the BIOS update

    Hello

    I've got Sat A210-199.
    Yesterday I updated the BIOS, and after that problems occurred:

    While restarting my computer does not start. When I enter the BIOS after a while, it shuts down.
    I guess all this because the temperature of the CPU:

    When I do nothing it is 77 C. I don't think it's normal: (.)
    Computer is very recent, so it's probably not dust inside. And it's so hot from the start, but after the new BIOS, something bad happens.

    Why this temp is so high?
    There is no any process background or something.
    Is this normal?
    And what about this new BIOS?

    To be honest, something like this should not happen. I really don't understand why this is happening. I have updated the BIOS on friends A200 and mine P200 and everything works fine. Here on this forum we can only speculate on this issue, but what you need exactly's professional opinion.

    This probably not help but install recovery image and check with the factory settings. Make sure you also on the lower side cooling fan is not blocked and the laptop can be cooled properly. If the problem persists, you should contact the nearest authorized maintainer and clarify this issue.

    Sorry, but I don't really know what you can do in this situation. I don't see any other way to solve this problem.

    Good luck!

  • PowerEdge T410 won't do anything when you press the power button / stop.

    My work has recently retired this t410 server. It worked without any problems when he was arrested. I had to remove and destroy the hard drives from the system. After that, I was allowed to bring home for my own use. I installed a new sata drive and plugged into the power supply and a free sata port on the motherboard. I get nothing when I tried to boot the system. This version has the unique power. Power light only lights up when you press the test button. System fan is going at full speed, but stops when you release the power button. Also on the control panel lights 1,2 and 4 and HDD power on and turn until the test button is released. There is a single green light lit on the motherboard, while it is plugged. Apart from that, I have no response when you press the main power button. Can anyone tell how to try to get it up and running again.

    -Who-

    I have not received the answers more so I think that this issue is ignored. So I'll let everyone know what finally happened. I solved my problem after a lot of electrical testing. I found a diagram of the arrangement of the power dell power supply pins and I made myself the best possible meter test. After several rounds of tests, I found several pins that did not have the right voltage. I bought a new power supply. I installed and replace everything. I plugged into the system and it auto fed on itself. I loaded from an OS and it works perfectly.

  • Satellite Pro L40 does not start after changing the BIOS settings

    Changed some settings in the bios last night and now when I boot I get a screen black lights flash and hard drive lights up but nothing on the screen.

    There is no password on the bios... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

    I put a windows disc now, I hear the disc spin but nothing on the screen

    (I think that I have come to the right place on the forum)

    It s a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 model psl4be.

    Thank you

    > There was no bios password... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

    You can set the default BIOS ONLY inside the BIOS access BIOS by pressing F2 or at the beginning of the initialization of the order

    But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
    Maybe it s just a simple bad luck that this problem happened exactly after change something in the BIOS.

    Try connecting an external monitor and check if you can see something on the 2nd screen.

  • Satellite L20 - Orange LED flashes when I press the power button

    For 6 - 7 times and nothing happens after that, the battery is completely dead and the adapter works fine

    I measured the voltage on the map that powers the battery and found 3.33v on 2 of them, the third is 0 v and the last of them starts by 0 v and goes up to 10v and more

    Hello

    Strange, but it might be a hardware malfunction.
    But first, you should try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Attendre wait up to an hour, then reconnect the two devices.

    If it doesn t work it could be a motherboard problem or something else. I recommend you contact a technician for laptop.

    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 A300 intermittently does not start

    Hello

    to help you with the A300 which sometimes (recently more often) just won't start/start?
    I run my A300 battery, when I press the power button / stop

    (1) fun begins
    (2) ' satellite' logo on the lower left corner will blink
    (3) drive HARD diode flashes
    (4) display lights even for a while
    (5) lightning touchpad stays off
    (6) it will continue like this for always (no activity except fan)

    After a few hard reboots can occasionally start, he's absolutely perfect job.
    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much!

    On this virtual path, it is not possible to say with certainty what the problem. For two weeks, I have similar problem on my A300. He won start t at all. Power LIGHT blinks two or three times and that's all that happens.

    At first, it happened only sporadically, but now there is no other reaction. In my view, this is power of electronic card.
    On your A300, it may be the same.

  • Satellite P300-28th does not start - windows does not load

    I bought Toshiba P300 28th last week. I spent Vista business successfully in Windows XP Professional with provided Toshiba DVD. Update Windows with Windows Update. After 3 days, laptop turns off suddenly, and because Windows does not start, it in fact does not start.

    When I press the power button / stop, it turns on, shows "Toshiba Leading Innovation" logo image option and "2", "press 12...", and it hangs and stops.
    I tried pressing F2 and F12, nothing happened.

    I can not access the boot menu.

    I put the Toshiba Recovery CD, the hard drive does not work. Recovery disk does not start, despite earlier I remember put boot CD/DVD at the forefront in the Boot Options to Boot Menu.

    I checked everything, power cable, took the battery in and replace after 3 hours, tried to turn on the portable power, without battery cable. Did not help.

    Don't know what to do?

    Your help is very appreciated.

    Hello Fiona

    If you are unable to enter the BIOS (F2) at startup settings there must be some serious hardware problem.
    I recommend to contact your local dealer where you bought this laptop and ask for help, or you can contact Toshiba service provider directly.

    What you have tried to do is good but if laptop doesn t allow you to enter parameters of the BIOS something wrong here, and you need professional help.
