• Satellite P300 itself keeps restarting after the initial splash screen.

  My Satellite P300 itself keeps restarting after the initial splash screen.

  Start-up of the first screen with the F2 and F12 options down is displayed, the screen goes black, then a cursor appears in the upper left corner and flashes once or twice. Then the laptop stops and restarts and goes through the same process again and again.

  That's all with the power adapter is plugged in. If disconnected, he goes through the above process and close with no reboot.

  Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

  Start your laptop and enter the settings of the BIOS (F2). Set to its default value. Restart your computer, and press F8 to access the advanced boot menu.
  To start the laptop in safe mode and let us know if it works, try it please.

• Satellite M40 - 277 keeps restarting - button / stop?

  I have the problem that the (per hour to enter acient) laptop Satellite M40 277 of mine keeps restarting unpredictibally. Initially I have if it was a problem of overheating, so I used SpeedFan and CPU-Burn a test, but the computer does not restart until the airflow to the bottom is fine (I consider that the entry of the fan on the bottom a design error, but it's something else). Now, if the air flow is a bit stuffy, the laptop stops at about 83 and then it will have difficulty to challenge. Ok.

  However when the laptop is about 63C it restarts sometimes and I feel, it can be a power button is stuck. I have XP installation so that it will always ask before you actually stop, and when I pick up the phone on the side (the plastic box where the power button is integrated in waiting) I often question of the judgment. NP, just click away. But I also feel that the button can get stuck and then the system turns off after 5 seconds of 'holding company' the power button.

  So I just tried to get a quick glance and we should normally be able to remove the keyboard, but this M40 is a challenge. Even after that the keyboard is free, I don't see the actual power button.

  Is there anyway to loook under high elegant green rim the power button? How to open this thing up?

  Hello

  As far as I know this little switch cover is fixed by 6 latches and connected with small flat cable to the motherboard. It just seems but if you don't know how to remove it you can damage these small latches and later you won't be able to fix the new.

  Anyway, if you think that this power button / troubled maybe just make the switch cover replacement may solve the problem.
  What say about it? Try to get the spare part and ask if anyone can exchange it for you.
  Of course, the best thing is to ask for professional help, but it will cool somewhat.

  Another way, do a risk and try to replace one.
  Let me know what you think of this.

  Good bye

• Satellite M40-285 - CPU overheating after the accident with water

  Hello everyone,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40-285, and 2 days ago, my girlfriend dumped a cup of tea on the keyboard... The computer turns off after a few seconds. Immediately, I put the laptop upside down and disassembled parts. There was some liquid inside (especially inside the speakers under the keyboard and where is the DVD unit). Other parts (CPU, memory, wireless card, hard drive area) were completely dry. I have it with napkings and dry with a hair dryer (later I read that I shoud never use a hair dryer...).

  The turs laptop on one seems to work fine (only the first screen where it says toshiba remains more than normal long (15 seconds or more) before entering windows). But the problem I have is that the CPU gets overheated and the laptop shuts down after 5-15 minits of use. I'm getting attention via the RightMark utility I said "* Core overheating * ' and the temperature always between 45 - 55 c

  I replaced the thermalgrease but the problem remains. The CPU fan works (I think that the two speeds). The heatsink is very hot after the computer turns off (it burns my fingers if I touch)

  What could be the problem? * Is the processor damaged? Can be a problem in the motherboard? *
  I don't know what to don't know because is not woth the money to send it to the technical service, but I can't buy a new laptop now...

  Hey,.

  I m wondering that the laptop is still ongoing and no more parts are damaged. In addition he s very cool that you could fix it yourself and dry. Many people don t know how ;)

  In any case, if the CPU is overheating it seems that something on the assembly or the cooling fan is damaged and must be replaced. Possibly peut t fan run with the highest speed more, who knows.

  Of course, it is difficult to say what is the cause of the problem, but in your case I would try ordering a new fan and the heatsink too. The two parties shouldn't t be expensive and it seems that you can replace yourself.
  So just contact a service provider allowed in your country to order these parts. They can do this.

  Good luck and feedback would be great, I am interested on this! :)

• Satellite M40-133: problem starting after a stop

  When my Satellite M40 - 133 EN if I start it again all that I get is the Toshiba welcome screen.
  If it is left for a while it will start as usual. When executing it is quite hot.

  Help, please.

  To me, this looks like a problem with overheating.
  It seems that the laptop can not start and start properly due to high internal temperature.

  The main reason why an overheating problem is very simple.
  Don t cooling modules work correctly. In my view, that dust and debris prevent cooling with maximum performance running fans.

  Simply cleaning fan should help you.
  From time to time, I clean my fans too. I use a jet of compressed air. These sprays are very useful to get rid of dust and most computer/computer laptop dealers offer these sprays.

  If it will not improve the situation, then a mobile technician needs to disassemble the laptop and recommended to clean properly. In addition, it should renew the thermal grease that is placed between the CPU and the cooling module, too.

  Good luck

• Satellite M40: Win XP install after crash problem - ser.number system

  Hello

  I would ask you what I'll do. I bought new computer toshiba satellite m40 laptop about 5 years in London.
  There was no Win XP Recovery cd (no partition recovery on the hard disc as well), just cd with drivers of toshiba in the box. Now my system crashed.

  Took me a long time to understand what it was. (BSOD - 'not ACPI-compliant') I almost tried everything same format of HARD drive.
  Later I completely dismantled cell, cleaned up the dust inside and it works again - no BSOD.

  Now I need to install my WinXP back. So I downloaded Windows XP service pack 3 CD and tried to install it.
  It won't take my serial number I have on a sticker on my toshiba.

  Please help me, what should I do?

  I paid for WinXP (System was included in the price) and now I can't use it.

  > There was no Win XP Recovery cd (no partition recovery on the hard disc as well), just cd with drivers of toshiba in the box.

  I put t think that recovery disk came with the laptop.
  Recovery disk shipped with the laptop from the M40 because it s an old series of laptop and drive HARD recovery was not available on this old laptop series. If HDD recovery is not available and that the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator was not preinstalled, then you will always get a disc of recovery with Notepad.

  Therefore, I am sure this recovery disk was part of the package as the other disks (disk s, tools and utilities in Toshiba driver base) were part of the package.

  The point is that the serial number which is a space at the bottom of the unit belongs to the operating system on the recovery disk.
  Generally, you may not use other Windows systems.
  The recovery disc has already been activated, and therefore, it was not necessary to activate it again.

  Please check this page of order recovery disk Toshiba:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx
  Here you can order recovery disks, but I do not know if your laptop is still supported because it 5 years.

• Satellite M40 - 129 stops starting after the Toshiba screen

  Hello
  My M40 continues sometimes to start after the Toshiba screen. He stops and all I see is the blinking cursor. No Error Message or something else and normal boot from the HARD drive. Boot from CD (for example. Œuvres of Knoppix). This problem sometimes occurs and traceable for me isn´t.

  Best regards
  Spoony

  Hey Spoony

  Unfortunately on this path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Each user has a specific configuration OS and we don t know how your operating system is configured.

  You can boot OS in safe mode? If Yes check what the problem may be a little. If there is anything you can do I recommend you save all your data and preinstall unit using rescue media. If you do this I recommend also to create two partitions.

  Don t compare WXP and Linux startup procedure. As you know that Knoppix using just the RAM and no HARD drive for the race.

• Satellite A300: Vista 64 bits after the new installation by using the recovery disk

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 A300 / M00 and when I got it, it had Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. But after awhile, I started to have problems so I decided to reinstall Vista on my laptop. After crossing with the product recovery media, my system become so 64-bit.

  Was not my system suppose to have 32-bit when it was originally with her?
  If no, then how can I install 32 bit once more on my laptop like 64-bit gives me problems with the installation of some of my programs.

  If I need to buy a copy of Vista 32 Bit, where can I find the drivers for my system, because the product recovery media has all the drivers on this subject.

  Thank you for your time.

  Hmm. Your ad is a little confusing.

  Why would you say that Toshiba Recovery disk contains a version of Vista 64-bit?
  How did you check that?
  From my experience, the Toshiba recovery disc still contains the preinstalled operating system.

  Also as much as I know the new notebook from Toshiba are not delivered with the recovery disk, but with a HARD drive recovery option.
  This option allows you to reinstall the OS from the second partition of HARD drive recovery.
  Alternatively, you can use the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator software to create the own recovery DVDs! And this recovery disk contains the same preinstalled OS!

• Satellite U300-159 - blue screen after Windows 7 installation

  Satellite U300-159. I did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Since the upgrade, it has blue screen every time you start after approx. 1 min. blue screen * STOP: 0x000000f4. The computer restarts it self after a while.

  I checked memory with 2 different programs. No errors. HARD drive checked - no error.
  Updated the BIOS, but get the error 1275 attempted using Toshibe updateprogram code.

  Anybody have ideas, what to do?

  Hey,.

  I m a bit confused about your ad first, you wrote that you did a clean install and then you wrote something about an upgrade
  What's true?

  Anyway, if you see the blue screen in safe mode too? If this isn't the case, it seems to be a driver issue because in safe mode no drivers will be loaded.

• Satellite A215-S7422: black screen after ATI driver installation

  Please help me. I buy the Toshiba Satellite A215-s7422 laptop and install Windows XP.
  After that I have download the driver for ATI Radeon x 1200 and install. After you reload a see black screen.

  Hmmm on which site did you download and install the ATI graphics card driver?
  The laptop seems to be produced and designed for the American market. That's why drivers should be downloaded from the Toshiba site we!

  In any case, this problem seems very strange. In my opinion, you used everything simply wrong driver.
  Try to start in safe mode using the F8 key at the beginning of the startup procedure and remove the graphics driver.
  If this does not help, try to install the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery CD!

• Satellite Pro A210 - error recovery after a new installation of HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a satellite pro 210 (bios v1.6) has died the HARD drive.

  I bought a new WD Scorpio Blue 250 GB HARD drive and ran the reinstall drive (I've done exactly this for a friends Equium a month or so back and all worked flawlessy!)

  Everything worked fine until the first re-boot, went through the usual stuff:
  Please wait a moment while windows starts for the first time
  Then a windows background, spinning slider with waiting message please, much HDD activity
  Then the sudden error:
  "Installation of Windows could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

  Does anyone have ideas, what it might be?
  A google search suggests the sata bios settings, but I do not see in the configuration of the bios page.
  In my view, there is a new bios v2 by download - would this help?
  If so how can I install it when the computer does not start vista? Or any other suggestions?

  Thanks for reading.

  Cheers, Stephen

  Hello

  The SATA driver is not necessary if you use the Toshiba Recovery disk because the image on the recovery disk contains the SATA driver.
  So there must be other reason for it.

  In your case, I recommend setting the BIOS settings by default and start over once the recovery procedure.
  Maybe something went wrong during the configuration of the OS if second installation is worth a try

• Satellite M40: HARD drive not working after laptop computer trasported turned upside down

  My Satellite M40 is facing a strange problem: whenever I have transport (for example, in the trunk of my car) backwards instead of in his natural position or vertically, after the transport, the HD does not work for a few hours. The BIOS does not see the HD because it is not present at all. After a few hours of rest, without moving, if you try to turn on the PC again, the HD magically comes to work again backwards.

  My HD is made with soda water? :)

  Talk seriously... What do you think it is?

  Hi franz

  Not easy to say what it is, or why it happens. Maybe it? s a bad connection of the HARD disk.
  I guess that this happens because of the agitation in the car.
  Well, I don? don't know if it helps but you can try to check the connection of the HARD disk.
  The second possibility to use another HARD disk. It might be because there is something wrong with the HARD drive.

• Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

  Hello

  After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

  After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

  Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

  Hello

  Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
  If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
  If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

  But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
  Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

  The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
  Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
  If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

• Low beginning on Satellite M40-145 after changing the 160 GB HARD drive

  Hello

  I own a Satellite M40-145 since 2005. After more than two years without any problem, two weeks ago the 80 GB hard drive to the original address has been damaged. So I had to replace it with a new, 160 GB (this replacement was made in a store because it's out of warranty).

  I used successfully on the new HARD drive recovery CD to install Windows XP and all the drivers (just as when it was new).
  I used Partition Magic to create a partition of D for data. Also, I installed Office 2003, Norton 360 and connected to the Internet.
  It worked quickly with only small problems than perhaps with little patience I could fix: as this Bluetooth hardware is not detected and the wireless switch began with the lights off even being in the position we (it worked with new just switching out-lit again). But suddenly, after only one day of use, Windows starts became very slow. It takes about 4-5 minutes until it is possible to use the laptop.

  Now, I tried many possibilities to solve the problem, but always ending on the same problem: I used the recovery CD again and try to use the computer with or without updates (I thought that maybe the problem was due to a bad update), with and without Internet access, etc.
  I also tried in vain the program Microsoft Bootvis to try to speed up the startup, etc.

  I even created an image with Acronis to only with XP and Office running fast, so that I could install it again and try new things.
  I also tried to clean the registry with various programs like CCleaner, TuneUp 2008
  Also the defrag JKDefrag and PageDefrag. But always returning to the same problem after a few days of good conduct.

  I don't know what else I could do. I wonder if maybe the new HD is damaged (although I test and no error or no damage was detected) or if the update BIOS might resolve this problem (I'm not and that's a big risk).

  Please, could someone help me?
  Thank you very much for your attention.
  Pablo

  In my view, that there is nothing wrong with the software or all drivers on you laptop.
  I think the key is the enormous size of the HARD drive.

  The difference between 80 and 160 GB is huge.

  To my knowledge, the BIOS supports a limit on the size of HARD drive and I really wonder why the 160 GB HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS.

  However, I think you should test a 100 GB, 120 GB HDD if the same question perhaps if poster using a HDD a size smaller.

  Best regards
