• Satellite L - starting problem

  I used my new Toshiba laptop about 6 months ago - no prpblems. These last days I have starting problems. I turn it on and Toshiba logo appears on the screen, and Windows does not start. Toshiba Logo remains on as frozen screen and laptop keyboard does not respond. I turn it back on works and that's okay - wimdows starts normally. Startup Repair does not detect any problems.

  What can be?

  Hi oktay,.

  What model of laptop you have exactly? I can t find this information in your ad.

  If the laptop hangs on the Toshiba logo, it has nothing to do with Windows and it s hardware related issue.
  Have you connected external devices? If Yes, remove them all and try to boot up your laptop.

• Satellite U500 start problem - "your computer could not be started."

  I bought a Toshiba U500 Satellite 2 months ago and whenever I turn it on the message 'your computer failed to start' and startup repair must check my system for problems.

  After that it checks my system (which takes a lot of time) it says that it cannot solve the problem and I can choose "Finish" and the computer shuts down. When I start the computer again I have the option "Start windows normally" and when I choose what it starts. The whole process is very long, that take a long time to start the computer (I have Vista).

  I was not able to understand what the problem is and I would really appreciate any help as much as the laptop is brand new. Thank you!

  In my opinion, you should backup all important data and install again. your laptop's HARD drive image and after 25 minutes only you will own operating system preinstalled and everything will be OK again.

  What is an option for you?

• Satellite A200 - STARTING problems, freezes on the connection of the power adapter

  My 3 YO A200 (PSAF3A-08202D has developed a problem with starting.
  I can start on battery power with WINDOWS VISTA BUSINESS (after 10 attempts, but freezes immediately when the power adapter is plugged in.)
  Display sometimes boots wide-screen, but mostly freezes before windows welcome.

  When running, the battery produces about 1 to 2 hours before a complete evacuation.
  When executing a battery, computer freezes when I plug Charger AC/DC immediately and going with my A100 charger as an alternative.

  Initial problem was a faulty hard drive and super hot air flow due to fluff the cooling block fan.
  Tech replaced original 120G HDD with 500 G and reloaded at the factory. works well for 3 months, then started with the same problems so conclude original disk HARD was just a secondary issue.

  So maybe fixed I overheated components on the motherboard. Reset of data cards initially fixed a problem starting but is gradually degraded.

  Reading through the forums seems that there is a huge amount of these laptops with similar issues. Is this a design flaw, like my other Satellite A100 is solid as a rock. All forums, which suggests resetting the cpu is running slow or be disconnected seem to be temporary repairs. Boot in safe mode and reset the default settings have no effect.

  A suggestion that a capacitor is at fault seems to be the fix is valid but which involves specialized tools is not available locally. Local agent of Harvey Norman for Toshiba are best part of unnecessary because they can send in Australia from Toshiba. Machine has been close to $2000 and is now worth Zip.

  I am unable to do anything with this machine, as all the ways of upgrading or resetting calls for AC power available and running.

  I'm about to do radical things and hope that this forum can enlighten us.

  Hi Mickaël

  You might be right. It seems that the motherboard is affected.
  Don't know why but higher temperature can still affect the internal parts.
  The temperature may increase if cooling fans n t working correctly. For example dust or debris leads to a higher temperature because cooling air cannot circulate properly.

  I have to clean my laptop's cooling grilles from time to time using a jet of compressed air. This allows to keep the temperature at the lower level.
  Of course the internal temperature is not always a reason for portable computers hardware malfunction equipment can begin to malfunction as always in an other products too: TVs, cars, game consoles

  I bought an extended warranty for my laptop, also for my LCD TV mercy always if a high-end product begin to malfunction and in the case of a warranty claim, the fault can be fixed free of charge.

• Satellite M30X-102: problems with foreign settings

  I just bought the laptop M30X-102 of the Germany, but I am from Greece. So everything is in German (which I don't understand), the recovery disk, documentation... So I ask if I can find the revovery disk in English language. How can I re - configure my system with windows English? (I think format...) Thank you...

  Hello

  It is a shame. I know the problem, if you have lost a Toshiba Recovery CD, then you go to a Service partner and sign a solemn declaration (it is a restriction of M$) and you will get a new recovery CD.

  You could ask a Greek Service partner if it is possible to do?

• Satellite M30X - power problems

  When the laptop is plugged in (with the battery) the LED on the show before it has AC power to the laptop and the battery is charging. As soon as I try to turn on the laptop, the battery light turns off and the power led lights up. However, he never stays, he sometimes makes as much as windows sometimes cut it during boot up.

  I thought initially it was mabey a problem with the battery. So I tried out the battery and power on. The green light is stays on showing that the laptop has AC power but the light power light just and then turns off again immediately. It is not a battery because the laptop should still work without it.

  Then I thought it must be something to do with the power adapter. But the green light on the front shows that it is powered okay and, apparently, the battery recharges. I also tried to check the power cablw with a meter, and he showed that he is a 19V output (exact, the power supply).

  So the battery is ok the power supply is ok... so where else could the problem be?

  Hello

  There would be something wrong with the electronic power supply.
  In this case, you should contact the ASP in your country
  because he can check it out and starts a few diagnostic tests.

  When I turn on laptop it crashes on the Toshiba start screen
  I press F2 it says loading but freezes and turns off after 2-3 minutes press F12 does exactly the same thing as F2

  All solutions please
  Any help is very appreciated

  > When I turn on laptop it crashes on the Toshiba start screen
  > I press F2 it says loading but freezes and turns off

  This means that the laptop can not pass the MESSAGE correctly.
  POST is the power on self test and if the laptop crashes it then something is wrong with the motherboard or the part on the motherboard.
  Have you checked the RAM modules?

  Remove the module and try to start using a single module.
  Pass the other module, then check this too

• Satellite M30 starting problems

  Hi people,

  I had a Sat M30 which sems adopt a life of its own.
  When I start the laptop, sometimes with the beginning of screen chkdsk and then boots, sometimes it boots itself but continually beeps and does not start correctly.

  Sometimes, when it does not start and I opened Opera or IE, it seems that a key is stuck and it does what it wants, flickering tell btwn the homepage and help pages. Other times I get many error messages.

  The only things down recently was a reformat and an increase of RAM with 512M of RAM increased.

  I have to say sometimes it starts up fine and works fine still...

  I think about reformatting the drive again, is this a good idea or I will just cause more problems?

  Thank you

  > The only things down recently was a reformat and an increase of RAM with 512M of RAM increased.
  Hmm maybe the new additional RAM module causes this strange issue.
  It of not impossible that a faulty RAM would affect the behavior of the laptop.

  Try to remove the new RAM and check if the same strange behavior would be displayed using your old RAM module.

  If the laptop would go well, then the question is certainly related to the new RAM module.

• Satellite L650 - starting problems

  Hello

  When I turn on the computer, it shows that the word Toshiba etc then the screen becomes black.
  Sometimes if I turn it will work ok. During the projection of Toshiba, only keys f2 and f12 options work.

  It is at the stage where he won t do anything after the start of Toshiba, no matter how many times I turn on and off.

  Any help appreciated.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is, but try it please use F8 at startup to check if you can enter advanced startup options. If so try to boot the operating system in safe mode.

  Please test and send feedback.

• Satellite A210 start problem

  Hello

  This afternoon, I turned on my laptop and it was in perfect condition. I went to the Microsoft Update Web site, downloaded and installed the latest security patches and rebooted the computer.

  But it does not start! It shows the Toshiba logo but then a blank screen and that's it.

  I thought that he would have something to do with the HD, but I can't even the configuration of the BIOS. If I press F2 or F12 nothing happens.

  It is very strange that the laptop is not yet a year old, are not widely used and always handled with great care.

  Any ideas? Before using the guarantee? I really need the laptop...

  Thank you

  Have you tried booting in safe mode? You can access this by pressing F8 at startup, this will give you access to your Advanced Boot Options. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select Safe mode and press ENTER. If you can load safe mode, use the Restore Wizard to restore to a previous restore point.

• Questions about the settings of the BIOS of Satellite M30X

  Hello everyone!

  I spent several hours today trying to find a way to make my Satellite M30X start automatically every morning so that I can use it as an alarm clock.
  Generally the best way to do this is using the "wake on LAN" or a similar service that offers almost every PC and which can be activated in the BIOS menu.
  However, it seems that there is no wake-up option in the menu of the BIOS of the M30X at all, I would say that users have almost no influence on the majority of the important parameters.
  So if anyone knows how to turn any mode wake up my laptop, let me know!

  Furthermore, I just updated the BIOS to 1.90 but nothing has changed on the menu itself.

  HawkeyePierce

  Hello

  I searched a bit, but there is no possibility to do so.
  If there is no WOL option in the BIOS, you will not be able to put it in the BIOS.

  But wait; Some LAN cards contains an option in LAN card properties.
  You can access it by the Device Manager-> ECS-> Lan card (right click)-> properties

  Here, you can see the unique tabs

• 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.

• Satellite M30X windows 2000 installation problem

  I noticed ribooth has also posted a message with the same problem... but I haven't seen a real answer. The problem: if I try to install Windows 2000 Professional (including SP2) on my satellite M30X-130. The windows 2000 Setup program crashes with a "page in a no fault paged area" in acpi.sys just at the moment where the status in the status bar has been changed from windows 2000. If I press F7 during startup, acpi support is disabled and no page error occurs but the windows 2000 installation hangs on "the first screen" where you should be able to start, stop and? installation. There is no additional hardware installed and I'm unable to partition and format the HD with W2k. If I do it with win98 and create a FAT32 partition and try to install w2k on it I get the same ' page in a no fault paged area "acpi.sys error. Any suggestions to fix this?

  Hello
  Make sure that the system BIOS and other hardware is compatible with Windows 2000.
