Satellite L650 does not start

Have had problems over several weeks with my laptop does not start up. See: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65765

Worked fine until last night for a week or two. Booted up ok, but gadgets has not appeared and no Yahoo Messenger that starts automatically.
I couldn't click on all items on the desktop or the bar at the bottom of the screen. Stop and asked if I wanted to force closing down of applications that were still running. I said yes.

Laptop turns off and then when I rebooted it came with the screen Toshiba startup and startup of Windows and the Windows logo but then received the message that Windows could not start and I wanted to start normally or repair. I ran repair, but the AI get after Windows loading files is the cursor on a black screen.

I tried to turn off and then I get the message when start saying that WIndows did not start successfully and I want to repair or start normally?

If I click on the repair, it comes up saying Windows is loading files and then I just get the cursor on a black screen. The hard drive light does not illuminate and nothing seems to happen (I used to open a new window).

I tried pressing F8 at startup upward and I select the Windows repair option, but that said just from Windows and then I get the cursor on the screen black as above. I have also tried changing the boot sequence so that it boots from CD/DVD first and insert the recovery disks, but once again nothing.

I'm now getting really tired after you have everything reinstalled at least 4 times in the last two weeks.

I do
(a) buy a new copy of Windows 7 and the gap of the partition recovery that she clearly doesn't seem to work;
(b) throw the whole 18 months old laptop and buy a different brand or
(c) is it possible that it's the hard drive which is a failure and that I should buy a new hard drive and Windows 7 DVD?

Any help is appreciated because it drives me crazy!

Looks like the HARD drive is faulty.
You can test the HARD drive with freeware like Drive Fitness Test or similar tool, but car aptitude test would help you to create a bootable diskette that would test the HARD drive.

I think that the HARD drive needs to be replaced if errors would be detected according to the news from the other thread, you have created a recovery disc, so it shouldn't be a big problem to reinstall the operating system once more once the HARD drive has been replaced.

  • 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

    I have a smallproblem. My Satellite C650 does not start when my android phone is plugged into the USB port. It sticks to the Toshiba start screen. I checked the boot order and the hard drive is the first on the list, so it isn't that. Any advice will be welcome.

  • 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 C650 does not start - error PXE - M0F

    Just bought a Satellite C650, get it home and my son decided to stop the whole upward as he ran.

    Now, we get the error below:

    Check the connection of the cable!
    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel PXE ROM
    No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.

    We received no drives, nor a manual with adequate instructions and can't find anything on the web for help.
    Toshiba closes for the day.

    Hoping that this forum could give me an idea.

    Hello

    PXE error is displayed because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
    Why it does not start from the HARD drive but LAN switches?
    I think the HARD drive is defect.
    Perhaps its also not recognized in BIOS.

    Switch on and press F2. This allows you to access the BIOS where you could check if the HARD drive is recognized. I guess it must be mentioned on the first page.
    If it s not there, then it means that the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

    I assume that the warranty is still valid; Therefore, you should get in touch with Toshiba ASP in your country for replacement.

  • Satellite M30: Does not start XP

    My Tosh Satellite M30 laptop (with 2 HD discs) does not work after I have updated with the MS security updates, it does not start XP.

    The laptop makes a clicking sound and gives me the message:

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
    Operating system not found.

    I changed the boot order in the BIOS to: CDROM. And select Exit and save changes.
    Inserted my Toshiba Recovery windows XP version that allows me the option of
    "1. the recovery disc" or "2. Expert recovery mode"or also"Exit ".
    I chose "1. Recovery disc"as I'm not an expert (as you can tell!)

    I then get a load of diagnostic checks run by laptop and it shows then finally on the screen:
    X:\\ no disk fixed

    Ideally, I would like to repair and keep things I have on my drive D: HD.

    I'm pretty sure the XP starts on my drive C: HD.

    Your help is very appreciated!

    Hello

    The PXE message means that the device is trying to boot from the network. I put t understand you a lot with C and D HD. I assume you mean that you have two partitions on a single HARD disk. C partition for the operating system and the D partition for your data.

    If I understood you as soon as you cannot boot operating system at all. On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem but obviously you a problem with the HARD drive. It is probably defective. If the recovery DVDs is not able to detect one that there may be a serious problem.

    I put t know how contact the partner old Service your unit is but if the warranty is still valid and let check the device.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A350 does not start

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A350 (about a year and a half) who does not start correctly. This has happened after that the laptop was left on until the battery has failed. The button of the keyboard and the power LED lights up, but the screen stays black when I try to turn it on. I use Windows Vista.

    The machine continues usually to make a sound whirring for a few seconds before it stops making noise (the fan and the HD). The screen flickers sometimes a lighter black on a screen for less than a second. In addition, the cooling fan has sometimes continued to operate after you stop all the rest.

    Another problem is that when if it is turn on and go to the Toshiba screen, odd lines will fade to the screen, and finally the screen eventually white/blue. On the other hand, sometimes it turn on and act as if nothing had happened. In these times, placing sleep mode will be to not be a wheat to turn back on.

    I tried removing the battery, using only the battery, fully charge the battery and using the laptop with barely any load from the battery and it doesn't change anything.

    I would really appreciate any kind of lead as to what may be wrong with the poor.

    Hello

    Generally speaking, it is always difficult to say something on these sometimes mistakes because it s not clear and can be caused by all parties, but at the moment I doubt that this problem is software partner

    You see something on a screen when the internal screen stays black?

    In the worst case, it s that a hardware malfunction and that would mean you need help from an ASP to check what part is affected, but if your laptop is under warranty, the repair is free.

  • Re: Satellite A200 does not start

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 on VISTA.
    The laptop does not start. I can get to the Toshiba splash screen, but don't go no more far just get the blocking of the laptop and the display one? symbol at the top right of the screen.

    I tried

    -Reset to the factory settings (no difference)
    -Starting with the battery and output (no difference)
    -Withdrawal of the memory modules and try different configurations (no difference)
    -Remove the hard drive (screen displays the details of Intel and say no HD media detected no screen Toshiba either)
    -Pressing the button to try to get in windows safe mode (can t happen).

    Title information, under settings, I see the hard drive and DVD player is connected is connected.

    If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi mate

    It seems that you have already tried all possible solution proposals
    But what happens if you start the laptop using a bootable diskette. for example, recovery disk, disk Win XP, Linux live CD, etc?

    I knew it could be a HARD drive problem, even if the HARD drive is correctly detected by the BIOS
    Maybe a replacement HARD drive might help maybe.

    Otherwise, it could be a serious hardware problem I m thinking: motherboard

    What do you think?

  • Satellite M100 does not START

    Good, everyone

    I have 100 M Satellite
    _when I turn it on it makes 8 signals and not booting not delivered.
    I can't boot from the BIOS RECOVERY cd too.
    It works but does not start.

    HRR, RAM, all components are ok I checked.
    WHAT signals DOES 8 mean?

    Hello

    What do you mean with 8 signals?
    Sorry, but your statement is fairly general. This type of signals that you noticed?
    Audio (beep) and visual signals (flashing LED)?

    I assume you noticed flashing signals. Am I right about that?

  • Satellite M50 does not start, go back to the screen with different start modes

    My Satellite M50-130 does not start correctly. When you turn it on, it goes to a black DOS screen, saying: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "It offers me different start modes: Safe Mode, with networking and command prompt. Last good Configuration known; and start Windows normally.

    I tried all the 5 options, gets the commissioning insofar as the Toshiba screen, but then with all the options, it returns to the initial screen offering the 5 modes of starting. Same thing happens when laptop works again.

    The only recent software change, I've done was an update to Norton AntiVirus/Internet Security and I suspect that Norton is at least part of my problem, see history below. I know it's the Toshiba support site, but I tried Norton so many times without success, I gave up. Plus, I'm no expert at all, so I can't be sure that it is really the source of all my sorrows. All advice welcome!

    The performance of my laptop has deteriorated seriously in the last two months. She is extremely slow, and cleaning of malware and unwanted General does not help. It began right after that I renewed the license of Norton last year and upgraded to the 2007 version. The worst downturns are always connected to direct upcoming Norton upgrade programs. I disabled the live upgrade, but programs always come to the top, and I can't stop them, a popup tells me that they are protected.

    Wireless internet is also very capricious, even if another computer on the same network works fine.
    During the last week, I had to relax a little internet security settings (from "moderate to severe" to "low to medium") because after an other update of Norton AntiVirus, I couldn't access to interactive Web sites.
    It is perhaps a coincidence because Norton AntiVirus comes with updates at least twice a week - but what else could be the problem?

    My apologies for the long rant, I am grateful for all the advice!
    Thank you
    I have.

    Hello

    I think the only way to make your system works correctly again is to restore with the cdrom of onboard catering. Simply manage to save your data from your hard drive (the best way would be to put your machine's HARD drive in a USB - HDD enclosure and copy important data on another computer), then wipe the system completely off you hdd.

    After that, the system must run again...

With only 1 GB, that it starts ok, with the other 1 GB origianal only boots ok. (The two modules are ZCE6 430 - K4T1G163QB Samsung 1 GB PC4200 533 MHZ DDR2)

    The two modules of 1 GB boot not together. I noticed that many others have had this problem. (please see
    This [t-22984]. post)
    On this forum, someone bought the CT12864AC53E memory module which works, however I can't find this on the site of Crucial.
    I've heard other purchase the sticks of memory CT572238 and CT572234 and have the same problems.

    Memory Advisor says determinative buy the CT572234 memory sticks.

    I have also updated the bios to V3.10, still does not start with the two modules.

    > 1 GB strips boot not together. I noticed that many others have had this problem.

    For me it s case;
    The two modules don't work together
    Seems the modules are not compatible there is only one solution. Replacement of RAM!

    Try other RAM modules.
    I bought a few modules from Kingston and made good experience

  • Satellite L300D does not start on battery, adapter needs to start

    Hello!
    I have my Satellite L300D since April last year, and suddenly my laptop does not start when the network adapter is not connected. Says battery 100% (full charge), when I am connected and started the system.

    Anyone any idea why my laptop no start on battery alone?

    I've already updated the BIOS to version 1.50, but it does not change a thing!

    (My warranty until April, so should I send in for service?)

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello!

    In your case I go for a local ASP (authorized service provider) and allow to check your laptop computer of these technicians.
    I think that it s a hardware problem, maybe the battery is defective and if you can just start the laptop with AC/DC adapter.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
    After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
    even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

    I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
    If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
    Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
    Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
    I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
    just in case, but it makes no difference.

    BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
    printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

    Is this a known issue?
    There is no known workaround solution?

    Hello

    I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
    The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
    The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

    RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.
