Satellite M40-129 BSOD and does not start correctly

Hi again.

I was working on my computer since my last question, but (almost) nothing has changed.
The problem:
My laptop is booting, but only on very rare occasions.
What can happen:
-l' screen stays black (almost 50% of cases)
-L' splash screen (Toshiba - in touch with tomorrow) becomes visible and nothing happens then (40%)
-Notepad starts "correctly" (10%)

If the notebook starts correctly there are 2 options:
1st: I try to start Windows: it crashes with a blue screen with the nice request an update of the BIOS.
2nd: I boot SuSe Linux: EVERYTHING WORKS!

I tried to update the BIOS the traditional way, although it is difficult to get it started it runs until shortly before the end and restart the computer.
I don't see any confirmation screen as Im used to.

What I assume, that the associated BIOS startup problem.

I read a method for recovering the BIOS with a floppy disk, where you copy the BIOS. ROM disk and start the computer with the disc.
My question is: is this also possible with a CD (have no floppy drive), if yes: how to proceed?

I wanted to give a point of service of Toshiba, but if they can't fix it, I always have to pay 50 euros. I have to pay money to get my BIOS restored, but the service seems to be just a "-delivery service" the real point of service and I would like to speak with a qualified person, first :)

Hmm, you said that you have already received the traditional BIOS files from the ASP in your country. Then maybe you should take a look at this Toshiba document:

  • 6 Lightroom does not start correctly

    LIghtroom 6a fonctionnee om my 10 (x 64) of Windows without problem for 6 months. After the installation of a slide (CyberViewX) scanner and a regular update to Win 10 that occurred automatically when closing down the computer, the 6 Lightroom does not start correctly since I restarted the computer. I uninstalled the scanner CyberViewX program and rebooted the computer again. The only thing that happens when you try to open LR6 is a message that an error has occurred when opening the catalog. I do not have a backup catalog, and there is a button where I can choose a different catalog. When you press this button I find the backup catalog, but when I chose this catalogue I go back to the original message and the backup catalog was obviously not chosen. There is a button to create a new catalog as well and when I press this button I just in my photo folder and there seems to be no way to create a catalog or open LR6. This form of dialogue is obviously not working correctly.

    There was a lock by the catalog file, and I deleted this file. I also tried all the tricks LR running as an administrator and assign full privileges for all users of my photo file.

    The only thing I have not tried is to uninstall and reinstall the whole LR6, but I have a lot of photos and work so I hesitate to do this without knowing that it is necessary and if sure that I can get everything back in order with the old catalog and all restored. Anyway to fix corrupted with the installation DVD files?

    What should do? Help!

    Hi bjomb,

    You suggest to choose the option to create a catalog and give it the name once you get the pictures folder window, and then choose create.

    This would create a new catalog.

    check if it opens the new catalog, and it passes under the background processes in the Task Manager.

    If it does not, then you need to reinstall Lightroom program and it would not affect your changes as changes are stored in the catalogues and catalogues remain it is same when the resettlement.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite M40-237: CD Boot does not not + is possible startup USB key drive

    * Model: Satellite M40-237 (PSM40E) *.

    I decided to reinstall windows, my hard drive is now formatted. So as usual, boot from the Windows CD is necessary to start the instalation but it does not start. I never had problems like this, always worked boot. It's as if there is no bootable CD in the drive (but it is bootable and it works on another PC).

    -J' have the latest version of the BIOS
    -The BIOS detects the optical drive and everything is ok, HARD is the ODD main drive is secondary
    -J' tried selecting the boot priority, with F12 and/or the BIOS setting but it works anyway

    What could be the problem here? Drive does not properly (hopefully, that and not something worse)? I had some problems with the drive I have (...) before, but it reads the disc normally and as I said start was working fine before. I cleaned the lens a bit, disconnected it and it put. Is there something more, what can I do?

    I'll try to find someone who has the player that fits so I can try with that one, but who knows when is what will be.

    Now, here's the second question, which I've linked to this. Because my laptop is practically useless now (I can't install anything), is it possible to boot from a:
    (a) optical drive USB external
    (b) USB flash drive

    BIOS on this laptop has no USB boot option, it has HARD drive / CD / floppy / network. But I red somewhere this FDD = USB legacy emulation is enabled.

    If that is correct, I should just plug in the USB key and select FDD as boot option? If I can't find a USB optical drive, I thought make it bootable USB flash drive and copy the installation of windows xp on it. So once it starts in DOS I start just the installer from the key.

    TNX

    First I must say that the initialization of memory flash USB (USB key) is not possible and you shouldn't t waste time to try this.

    With regard to your reader of CD/DVD boot problem
    Well, it s really strange, it sounds a bit like a sort of master/slave/c-salt settings problem. But generally, you should get an error IDE (#0 or #1) if one of the devices (ODD or HARD disk) would not be recognized?  :|

  • Satellite A200-1 body weight does not start

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-1BW model that frooze all to use and would not start again.
    I have checked all the power drive options very well.

    I have the blue AC power led on and the orange light but pc does nothing. I tried to power up without battery with AC, but always the same question.
    No fans don't come on etheir. PC won't in the start-up phase, and nothing appears on the screen that is constantly empty.

    I don't get the HDD 200 GB startng so I swapped it for a work of identical spare but the pc still does not start.

    My only conclusions are that I have a dead motherboard or a power problem internal.

    Its the real frist problem I've had with this laptop so am just checking to see if anyone out there has had the same problem or knows all the patches, I have not tried.

    Yes, that sounds like a serious hardware failure.
    Looks like the motherboard, GPU, or another party on the mobo may be defective.

    What about RAM modules? Did you check both?
    Please do

    Otherwise if there s no RAM issues then you will need a professional technician help.
    At the moment I put t see any other solution you :(

  • 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.

    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.

  • Satellite Pro L850-1DW does not start correctly

    Hello

    I have a client who has a L850-1DW / PSKDHE-00E005EN laptop.

    She keeps pointing out that the computer does not start successfully from the cold.
    She argues that the question arises mainly when the battery starts but sometimes when it is plugged into the mains.
    I can see where point of newspapers that BSOD were registered at the start and that, on more than one occasion, his computer was recovered from a restore of Windows. He has also recovered factory once too.

    Although I've seen the consequences of these issues of "start-up" I have yet to experience first hand with the device.

    I noticed yesterday that the BIOS is outdated (as I had an alert Tempro).
    I upgraded from 1.6 to 6.50. Yet once, I didn't have problems.
    I can't find the release notes for the BIOS so I don't know if this is a known problem that has been fixed.
    I don't know if this "intermittent" defect is just that or if the user has the power button down too hard or for too long and in fact inadvertently crashing NB itself.

    Any suggestion is welcome.

    Otherwise, I guess I have to connect a call with Toshiba.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. In my opinion, you should ask your client if you can make the data backup and install original recovery image. To my laptop computer reviews must be tested with the settings without installation of additional software.

    > I don't know if this "intermittent" defect is just that or if the user has the power button down too hard or for too long and in fact inadvertently crashing NB itself.
    Who knows? Ask your client and show how to start the laptop by pressing the button walk / stop. It must be done slowly and for only one second.

  • Satellite M40-307: accessibility utility does not work with the limited user account

    Hello everyone,

    I have a Satellite M40-307 (PSM44E), and I had a problem with the utility "accessibility", which displays an icon in the notification bar of Windows XP, to inform the user if the "Fn" key is active or not.

    This utility would not work for the administrator would not worry so much, because the administrator is supposed to know what he does. But the limited user doesn't have access, that bother anymore.

    In Administrator, this utility works quite well. But during a session of limited user, if I try to launch it in [runas / user: admin "C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Windows Utilities\TACSPROP.exe"],
    I am replied that the file TCMSVR. DLL is not found. If I launch normally, a message tells me that this utility requires that I am logged on as administrator.

    So, what can I do to use this utility normally, i.e. in a limited user Sessiona? *

    Hello

    Well, you should try to activate the rights for the TACSPROP.exe.
    To do this, you must enter the operating system as an administrator.
    Choose the application, right click. There is a Security tab. Here, you need to activate the permissions for all users.

  • Satellite L505 - 10 M - fan does not start

    I have a problem with my Satellite L505 - 10 M.

    Suddenly the fan does not start over and because of this, the laptop get quickly overheated and stops. I installed Windows 7 top me, quite some time ago, and this time it was 2 weeks ago while it just happened this evening. I have not installed anything new and nor I did something special with him, he just does not start fan more.

    I checked this forum, cannot find anything either, searched and could not find any problems with Linux and the fan, but not Windows (it does not start at the start of the bios either).

    If anyone has a thought, a similar experience or a solution, it would be really useful

    Greetings,
    JanPieterz

    Hey Buddy,

    You have installed Windows 7 Microsoft disc or Toshiba Recovery disk?

    Well, if the fan doesn't start anymore, you can t a lot and I think that the fan needs to be replaced.
    What you can do is load default settings in the BIOS (press F9 key in the configuration of the BIOS) and save settings. Also clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air, maybe the fan will be blocked by the dust.

    If he doesn t it work s time to contact a technician for laptop. If your laptop is under warranty, the repair will be free. :)
