Satellite M30X-111 died after about 15 sec after power to the top

Hello
My M30X 111 died after about 15 sec after power upward. The blue light comes on, the fan starts and then turns off & the dies machine - however, the blue switch remains on. Then I have to keep the power button up to swith off the machine.

I can't go as far as the BIOS and it does not start from CD, etc.

Thanks in anticipation,

Hello

The laptop goes to home Toshiba screen?
If yes there is no hardware malfunction but perhaps something wrong with the software.

You suggested that it of not possible to enter the BIOS. How have you tried to get into the BIOS?
As far as I know, this unit uses a Phoenix BIOS so you must press the F2 key immediately after switching on. Press the "F2" key several times to make sure that the option has been enabled.

The alternative to boot from the CD/DVD drive is using the C key. The same procedure here: press the C key immediately after starting the laptop.
(the CD must be inserted before you start)

  • HP photosmart d110a printer load paper message demo lights after power to the top

    After changing the black cartridge, when I turn on the printer, it always comes up with the message "loading paper".  There are in the paper machine.  I removed, repositioned, tried different papers, etc.  I have the choice to see the demo or "OK to continue".  Whatever it is, it then puts to the top of the screen, which suggests that I run the alignment process.  It is the only choice.  When I press OK, it now says 'print alignment page' and displays the blue bar pulse, the Red 'X' and the power button flashes, but it remains that way forever.   Oddly enough, I can still print, even when paused trying to print the alignment page.

    Hey there. Try following the steps described in this paper: a "undetected alignment page" or "Cannot be alignment" Message displays on the all-in-one

  • Satellite M50 does not supply power to the top

    Hello

    My laptop Satellite M50 does not supply power to the top. The laptop itself is working fine, but I can't use it as the battery is discharged. I checked the cable ca and it seems ok. The laptop has a fuse internal which I need to check? If this is not the case, what should I do?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If I understand you correctly you cannot use laptop with AC power only. Am I right about that?
    Switching between the block of AC power or the battery, do the power of electronic cards and there is not a switch so that you can check.

    When you connect your laptop to the power Jack is the power LED ON?

  • Satellite M30X stops shortly after starting

    Hello

    I got my Satellite m30x on repairstation because the charger was broken.
    Today I get back.

    But when I boot Windows XP home, after a short time, 10s, it turns off. Non-stop, just next door.
    I used to make State delivered, but same problem recovery cd.
    This Helene I run it in safe mode and it works very well, but is not normal.

    Seems to be a hardware problem. I don't think it's a driver problem, because it happened even with recovered resh system. So I think that some hardware is broken.

    Someone know this problem, or could tell me, what to do? I try to start with throw newspaper and view the log file, maybe this will help you.
    If nothing helps, I will bring this back to maintenancer Monday :(

    thx anyway

    Hello

    If the laptop works fine in safe mode and not in normal mode, so it could be a software malfunction.
    In safe mode, the operating system uses the standard drivers and don t charge all services.
    But as you suggested the laptop has been repaired. I think that your warranty is valid and the best way is to contact the technicians again.

  • Update BIOS Satellite L30 - 10V died after unsucsessful

    We couldn't get the L30-10 s to accept the 2 GB of RAM and advises him to upgrade the BIOS.

    We went on the Toshiba site and followed the instructions using the software, they have provided, we started upgrading the L30 - 10 locked up and sat there for the night, now he's dead.
    I have been informed that he needs a new motherboard and I find it hard to believe that it may be that the BIOS that has lost its data.

    Can anyone help, we have been quoted £300 to fix?

    Hello

    You can try this workaround:
    Remove the AC adapter and the battery and wait an hour. After that reconnect the adapter AC/DC and battery. Try to start the laptop and see what happens.

    If it doesn t work you need assistance from an authorized service provider. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module and in the worst cases, the motherboard needs to be replaced.

    Sorry but there is no other solution for a BIOS update has failed. :(

  • I can never make a lot of space in my hard drive after back to the top

    I regularly save on a hard disk that is attached to Lightroom.  What I've noticed, is the amount of space that I have left is still declining.  After the backup, I used to have over 200 GB of the available MBP 768 GB retina, now, I rarely more than 100 GB.  At some point I'll have no space left at all.  I don't know that I'm doing things correctly.  I noticed that there are duplicate files when I export the. DNG my 645Z or. My A7RII ARW.  So I file raw in LR, the ARW and the .xmp that have been exported (I still name them).  My habit of the end to create more space on my hard drive is to find the .dng and .arw files in the finder, back up to an external hard drive and then remove them from my MBP.  I do not touch other files not named.  What I find good is that even with the hard drive attached, some files are displayed as missing picture.  I can remedy this with a cover of Time Machine, I did a time machine to the top until I backed up (something I always do) images in lightroom.

    Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  What is the best way to ensure that I have a lot of space?  I can't just buy new laptops all the time when I run out of space.  I save most of my images finished PSCC at the highest quality jpg, so the finished images that are not take total amount of space, but these are not archived on LR that I prefer to use the tag system which uses Mac.

    The best approach I've found is always import as of the segregation of records to your home. Make sure that these are backed up by time machine or another mechanism for backup and then if you are not actively using the images in a dated file more copy set in an external hard drive where you keep the same year and the date structure separated. Then in Lightroom, it is a simple case of right (or control), click the folder that you moved in the sidebar of library and select "update folder location" and that it points to the new location of the folder on the external drive. All your images must be accessible as long as external is attached. Now you can remove the folder from your internal hard drive and find space (don't forget to empty the trash).

    My main machine is a retina with a 256 GB drive and I easily maintain a 100 of 1000 image catalog Lightroom on it in addition to Photoshop and many other CC software I use (first for most). Most of my images and video life on a large RAID array, but my most recent images months living inside. Easily, you should be able to work with a 768 GB internal. You delete old backups of catalog in Lightroom? By default, Lightroom creates backups of the catalogues that makes every week or so next to the file catalog in a folder "Backups". You don't need to keep a large number of these backups autour. I usually keep only 2 or 3.

  • Satellite M30X-111 wake up from standby/hibernation mode

    People, like many of you, I had the questionable connection DC problem and I solved this at the time of re - solder the wandering joint on the connector for the motherboard.

    Everything was fine with the laptop until yesterday when I tried to get the machine to wake from standby / hibernation if it is when you close the screen) and now all that happens is that the blue light around the power button lights up, the CPU fan runs for about 5 seconds, the HARD drive light flashes once Maybe two times and the DVD briefly climb towers.

    Also nothing happens... the screen is blank and the laptop is actually not from the occasional maelstrom of the fan.

    Is it in any case to perform a reset of some sort to get it to snap it on hibernation? I have read up on this subject on various forums and have tried to start without memory, without the HARD drive and the DVD drive and still no life.

    Any input is appreciated that I need this laptop to spring into life again.

    Thanks in advance

    Ground

    Hello

    to wake up the machine, simply remove the battery and the AC and leave the machine for a few hours. After that, it should work again.
    By the way: sometimes it s a good idea to do a biosupdate, because maybe the problem comes from the bios.

    Please give some comments about your success... :)

  • Satellite M30X-111 screen does not display anything but the external monitor works

    My laptop just screen does not display anything (like when the computer is turned off), but when I connect the external monitor, then the desktop is displayed on this screen. I tried to recover the laptop using the recovery disk and it worked again, but today, it stopped working again.

    Again, I must plug the external monitor, and after I tried to restart, I continue to pressing F8 but the startup mode is not come, the noise of when you press a button for too long beeps, however, the monitor of the laptop working again.

    How can I solve this problem?

    What do you do? You want to recover the laptop?
    If Yes, you n press any F8 but you will need to boot from the recovery CD by pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop.

    But this question seems that you have accidentally switched to external display.
    I recommend checking the Fn + F5 option. This combination allow you to switch between the display and the external monitor.

  • Satellite L500-1R1 died after copying files

    Hello

    got laptop sisters who planted permanently in windows7 (still getting BSOD with various reasons, I tried the antivirus scan, uncheck etc. without effect msconfig startup items), so deciced to reinstall the OS.

    Gets in safe mode by F8 (which worked only) copy the entire disk on my external USB drive, joke is when I'm home, screen was completely black (off), led on, then it off with power button / stop and now computer laptop does not start.
    When I press the power button / power off, light is on, fan runs for 2 sec and nothing more. Battery charge normally, sometims it is also on hdd.

    I tried everything found on google (30secs reset, remove the RAM sticks, remove the hard drive, remove the battery, connect an external monitor, etc.) and nothing helped.

    What could go wrong? Its approx. 4years old, cmos will reset help and how?

    Thank you

    > cmos reset help
    You mean to unplug or remove the CMOS battery?
    No, I Don t think so

    > What could go wrong?
    Hard to tell in your case I would insert new modules of RAM just to check if its RAM problem. You said that you removed the stick of RAM but I m not quite sure if its good enough for the test. I would test the unit with new modules of course, this is just an idea and no one would be able to say that this will fix the problem

    But the fact is that there is a hardware problem and I guess it could be a motherboard problem if new RAM modules would not help you.

  • Satellite A105 - keyboard died after he hit lemonade

  • Satellite A500-136 died after the BIOS update.

    Hello friends...

    I waited for an hour, but nothink, just stuck.
    No one key is active.

    Then I removed my batery and tried to turn on the computer and the screen is black.
    Nothink else does not appear here. I think the bios is dead...

    WHAT I have TO do, I don't want to get to the guarantee, because I need to wait a month, only then my computer will be fixed.

    Please help please please... :(

    SORRY FOR MY POOR EANGLISH

    Hello

    It s a shame hear that mate!
    It seems that something was wrong during the update of the BIOS, and so the laptop won't turn on.
    I'm afraid that you can't do anything else as to contact the local ASP m!

    The local ASP technician must check the device and possibly it might update the BIOS using a special BIOS and the special procedure.

    Good luck buddy

  • Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DJ does not supply power to the top after removing the HARD drive

    Hello world!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DJ. It has a 750 GB HARD drive, but it wasn't enough for me. So I bought a Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive. I have undone all the screws, carefully (using my driver's license), lifted up the plastic and removed a HARD disk.

    BTW, I really like this plastic solution on the HARD drive!

    Then I realized, that all my stuff is still on it.
    So I put the HARD drive, I'm going to copy everything on my drive hard Ext. planning.
    Well I screwed it back, got the battery, put the back of the AC adapter.

    Battery charge light was on, indicating that the current flows. I pressed the 'Start' button, and nothing happened. He broke yet still nothing. I plugged the battery and the AC output adapter, I held the Power button for 30 seconds, put everything back still nothing. I got scared. Opened back once more, just to take a look at, so anything that slipped on. Nope.

    Everything is a okay. What should do? I have the warranty? I hope not.
    Can I fix myself without void my warranty? I hope so!

    And also: I bought the laptop in Hungary, but I'm in Germany. Can I fix here in case my warranty is valid?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Sincerely,

    I just took the hard drive out of mine and put it back to see if I could reproduce your problem after trying several times I had no problem.
    Have you checked the pins at the end of the hard drive to see if all are damaged, another that I can't imagine what else.

    ICH habe just die Fliegengitter aus von mir gemacht und wieder, um zu sehen, ob ich das problem nach dem Versuch're mehrmals I had keine zu make a replication problem.
    Haben Sie die pins am Ende der Tiger uberpruft, um zu sehen, wenn eine beschadigt sind, dass ich nicht, except a great denken nichts.
