• Satellite Pro A200 - system does not boot

  Hello

  wondering if someone could help?
  My Satellite Pro A200 with windows XP does not start. It starts with the Toshiba screen.
  Then goes to a screen black with text where it says "PXEE61 media test failure - check cable" (I have no cable) then said out of PXErom; moves to the next screen, which lists the options: safe mode; safe mode with networking; safe mode with prompt local; Last Configeration well-known; Start windows normally.

  Which have been tried and results in loading from page turns on for about 20 seconds, then just to abandon and trying all the whole process again (before flashing a blue screen) Windows.

  Nothing seems to work - tried to take the battery on a... number oftimes and the power cable, but nothing helps.
  It's already happened, but after a few false starts gets going - but this time he just don't come out it. I could not take others where locally, but I would prefer not to because I live in Spain and need the laptop as soon as possible and do not know, I want to leave it in some otherwise are hands to the risk of wipe them the hard drive.

  So, I would be very grateful for any help as soon as possible and I fear tech short hand maybe having to explain.

  Thanks a lot, a lot.

  Hello

  I think the problem is that the operating system is not found on the HARD drive.

  The test failure PXEE61 media - check the cable appears especially if the laptop tries to boot from LAN.

  Why the laptop is trying to boot from the local network?

  Well,.

  -option may be the LAN was chosen first in the boot order in the BIOS
  -Maybe the drive is defective and so the laptop is trying to boot from LAN
  -the MBR (master boot record) is may be defective

  I think you should take the Toshiba Recovery CD and need to format the HARD drive and needs to be reinstalled the operating system.
  This should help.

  If not, then the HARD drive could malfunction and should be replaced!

• Satellite L650-14F - system does not have WiFi

  Hi all

  I've seen a few topics about this, but I still can't solve my problems. I have brand new Toshiba Satellite L650 14th but I can't seem to use my WiFi.

  The problem is that the system does not recognize, even in the Device Manager there is nothing. I downloaded the driver from the toshiba site, but when I run it nothing happens. I also tried the BIOS update and install the package of added value, but still nothing. Also, someone mentioned editing tool of Network Device ID registry settings, I downloaded that too, but when I run also nothing happens. I did a lot of research and could not find the solution or the driver work.
  Furthermore, I have windows 7 64 bit.

  Any ideas? I really need wifi, my started classes two weeks ago and no internet at home, I can't do anything useful. Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  If the system doesn't recognize the WLAN card, it seems to be disabled.

  You should check the key combination FN + F8 which can enable/disable the WLAN connection.
  In addition on some laptops you can toggle the wireless LAN in the BIOS.

  Hi Qazam

  How did you test the remote control?
  What do you mean who does not? Some functions does not work or a complete remote control cannot be used?

  I read the user manual and it seems that the remote will work under Windows mode with WinDVD or Express Media player, and Windows Media Player when the laptop was not started in the Windows operating system.

• System does not boot, get the white screen after preparation for auto repair

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite with Windows 8 and yesterday there were some ongoing update and must restart.  When the computer reboots, it took some time and then I got a blue screen (very quickly) who said something as she encountered a problem and needs to fix (it is really fast and I can't see the whole text).  Then goes and comes back as it is booting (with the toshiba logo) and he says prepare auto repair.  Then it goes to a white screen. I tried to get into the HARD drive recovery (power with F12) and when I select HDD Recovery and confirm Yes, it just goes to a blank screen.  I went into the Setup utility (powering now F2 while) and has chosen default install and who does not either (although it has fixed the problem with my keyboard backlight does not). Support of Toshiba said that it is the operating system, not the hard drive.  But I need a drive recovery media that will scan all.  Anyone know other options?  I have a disc of recovery of a Microsoft coming 8 Pro (dell).  Would it be an option, to use it (I got it on a flash drive) and start-up of that?  Thanks for the help.

  Hi John,.

  Thank you for the update.

  Given that you want to use the Windows 8.1 recovery disk, you won't perhaps able to start Windows 8 using Windows 8.1 because the computer may not be able to find the files of Windows 8 start to recover.

  Yes, you pouvez install 8.1 Windows using the recovery disk. However, you may not be able to perform the upgrade option when installing Windows 8.1. When you click install now and follow the instructions, you must choose the Custom Advanced option to continue installation. Choose Advanced custom options will create a folder in the C: drive (or any other partition when you do not want to install) named the Windows.old folder which expected to have all of your files and documents of previous installation and are accessible.

  Make sure you have the drivers available for the devices installed on the computer as network card, drivers etc. of video card you install Windows 8.1.

  Hope the information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  Thank you.

• Satellite P100 - 194 PSPA6E does not start and will not let me install Windows

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Satellite phone, witch, I got from my brother. I don't know what he did with it, but he does not know.

  When I start the PXE - E61 "Media test failure, check cable" appears. In the BIOS I put in the directory Boot LAN mode on the last position, but despite this failure E61 appears.

  I tried to reinstall Windows XP. The laptop started from the CD and the blue screen appeared and loaded XP drivers needed. But at the end of it, when you enter normally on the menu to choose where to install windows, the screen is black and in the upper left corner a small beam blinked on and outside and nothing happens plus.
  The same thing happens when I leave the laptop HARD drive and start again from the XP installation CD but this time without the HARD disc logically.
  So I thought that the HARD drive is broken and I put it in my desktop PC to test. I installed XP on the drive HARD Satellite in my PC, which worked without problems in my PC. So, I come to the conclusion that the HARD drive is not broken.
  And my BIOS Satellite detects my HARD drive and displays the name of it.

  But what is the problem with the laptop when it is not the HARD drive and BIOS show the good name of the HARD drive? Can someone help me please?

  Hello

  The story is very strange boyfriend generally that the PXE error if the laptop tries to boot from LAN. But in the case where starting LAN source in unavailable, the PXE error appears and shows this message.

  Usually, the BIOS passes LAN Boot option because the other options are not active. This means that the CD/DVD drive does not any bootable disk and the HARD disk is dead.

  So, as you can see you hypothesis was right that the HARD drive could be faulty

  In any case, try to access the BIOS and set it to the default settings save changes and then try to reinstall Windows XP.
  You might also try another HARD drive, I know as your fist HDD recognized correctly but it s worth a try to test the 2nd HARD drive.

• System does not boot after CHKDSK

  Reference Dell 745, XP SP3, fully patched. Had not run CHKDSK in 5 years, machine has been in use, thought it might be a good idea. NOT!

  I plan to CHKDSK/F, he ran at the next startup, then I get the splash screen, then black screen, nothing else. If I turn the power off, the next time you start trying to run CHKDSK again, and if I run it or not, same result - start screen, then nothing. What to do next?

  The machine is in reverse now - here's "the rest of the story" - pressing F8 didn't work, couldn't get into safe mode. Recovery Console is not installed on versions of our company. I was able to get a couple of our Support service for Office XP installation diskettes - only one is bootable and even through, that's for XP SP1 and I have XP SP3, it worked.

  Choose the option to repair install didn't solve the problem at all. Once again starting on the CD, I chose the Recovery Console. At this time, I chose FixBoot and FixMBR. And then when I removed the CD and booted up again, pressing F8 gave me access to the boot with Safe Mode and other options menu. Safe mode does not work - I got nowhere (I don't remember exactly what happened at this point, but it did not help). Which does not finally was the last good Configuration. Once I chose that and rebooted, I had a relatively normal cases, slow start and connection, without the detour by CHKDSK. He has been sluggish about 10 minutes longer than normal, but worked normally since.

  I don't see any reference to CHKDSK saves in my shaft system of the observer of events tools - any suggestions on where I could display them?

  My lesson learned here - if the system is not broken, CHDSK is going to break, so on modern systems, only run CHDSK when you experience the symptoms that you can't otherwise explain. That had been the case at home on a Win7 laptop, which had suddenly slow, with a blurry view near the start icon.  I had been worried about the virus and horses of Trojan, but a suggestion in the forum Win7 on Tek-Tips pushed me to run CHKDSK, who did to solve this problem. It's a relief to be back to normal!

• Upgrade CPU, system does not boot, winload.exe "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.

  Subject pretty much said it all.  I got a new CPU, shut down the computer, installed, and now Win7 does not start.  It hangs on a black screen gripe on a signature file.  Here is the full text:

  "A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source."

  If you have a Windows installation disc, insert the disc and restart your computer.  Click 'Repair your computer' and choose a recovery tool.

  Otherwise, to start Windows, so you can investigate further, press the ENTER key to display the boot menu, press F8 for Advanced Boot Options, select last known good configuration.  If you understand why the digital signature file cannot be verified and want to start Windows without this file, temporarily disable driver signature enforcement.

  File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

  Status: 0xc0000428

  Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. »

  Well, the first thing I did was put in the installation CD and reboot to try the thing "repair your computer".  Charge, said he found a problem, said he has fixed the problem and restarted.  But it always hangs on the same screen of the error.

  So I tried to hit Enter and then F8 as it said to do, but brings me right to the error screen.  I'm stuck, there is nothing that I can do, and I need this computer to work tomorrow.

  Another interesting note is that the recovery on the installation CD tool identifies my system installed Windows Vista... wtf.

  Help?

  I don't know if this post will solve your problem, but it can give you new ideas or angles to try.

• Satellite Pro 6100 system does not start

  Hi people,
  I have the following problem. I used my laptop long enough for thet to deplete battery and the device to go into hibernation. Given the againm battery costs, I tried the system and now it does not start.
  The leds light up fine and stay lit upwards. Just nothing happens, the FN key works. After a minute the fan will start to turn upwards and turns down again. But nothing else.
  After some time, by pressing the power button for a few seconds seems to start the machine, but it stops immediately after 30 seconds. Even if doing a memtest.

  anyboy has any idea what could cause this. I tried to remove the hard disk and start it does not affect what anyone, as does move the RAM module in the other slot. Also remove the CD/RW drive does not affect it. Remove the battery and start also give the same result.

  Hello

  Sorry, but tells you don't know is not enough for me.
  If you start Notepad, you see something on the screen?
  A Toshiba start screen appear?

  You suggested that the FN key works. Have you checked it in windows?
  AFAIK the FN keys can work only if the operating system has been launched and the drivers have been loaded. So my strange question.

  The whole thing is very strange. If nothing is displayed and the laptop cannot start, so I guess a hardware malfunction. But you know without any trial it s not easy to say what's wrong.

  Try to disconnect the laptop from the sector and remove the battery. Wait several times (30 min - 1 hour) then plug the AC adapter and try to start it.
  If it won't work and you know that other devices are ok such as RAM or HARD drive so I think that the technician must check the machine.

• Installing the graphics card... System does not boot

  Hello

  I received a HP P6-2387ea today (I5, 8 gb, H61 Chipset) with the intention to introduce a new GeForce660 inside that also happened today.

  The PC boots up well with its default material and very well with my addition of a 500 watt PSU... However, when I add in the GeForce 660 does not start, I am rather greeted by 6 beeps to the bios, which is obviously not a good thing.

  My first thought was gpu at fault, but I tested it on another machine and it works fine. I also took a GeForce 460 of this old machine and tried in the new HP one, same result.

  I'm missing something here, or I have a faulty card or something?

  (To avoid responses of stupidity, yes the 500w PSU is a lot and the appropriate pci-e 6pins were attached).

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  First response to your title question is "no, your motherboard is not broken.

  Try this:

  Boot into the bios and go to the Secure --> Secure Boot Configuration topics. Now disable secure boot and turn on legacy mode. Now let's see if the PC will start using the material existing HP before you make any changes. If the PC starts, then try just a video card.

  View your results.  I have a suspicion about what the issue is for the motherboards that are active UEFI.

  --------------------------------------------

  Side note:

  It seems someone is trying to find an answer to this question using different HP computers as a way to find the answer when the PC is delivered W8 and active UEFI.

• System does not boot into Windows when a USB is installed

  It's strange.  I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade (64-bit) of a previous Vista machine.  Has made the choice of 'Upgrade '.  Now that it is finally installed and get some of the bugs resolved, a question I still have is when a (key, post HD) USB device is installed in the machine and I run a reboot or extinguished/turned on, the system starts to boot, runs through the BIOS section, but just before trying to start Windows I get a fast blinking cursor in the upper left of my screen.  If I remove all the devices usb between PC and manually must shut down and restart it restarts in Windows very well.  What is the problem?

  Desktop HP M9350F model; 64-bit; BIOS Rev 5,29 (28/04/09); BIOS Boot Priority: floppy, CD, HD, network (note: there is no other choice shown/available USB?)

  Maybe someone else has had this problem and an easy fix is avaiable.  Thank you!

  CD,

  Well believe it or not, I realized the problem.  Not the BIOS.

  One program, I have installed is SecureDoc WinMagic.  It's encryption software, although my drive has (yet) been encrypted.  In fact I had contacted the Lim before this same thread started to think it might be because of that, but he told me it was probably my BIOS and nothing to do with their SW.

  However, last night I decided to remove their SW before my "repair" operation was scheduled.  How to have this removed SW, it's just our curiosity, I decided to start once more with a USB device installed to see if the hang up has continued.   By my surprise, the start went as usual by means of windows and office.  DAMN!  all this time lost, mine and yours!

  I contacted the company SW this morning and they found a way to modify their SW and get the boot to work (always with the unencrypted disc).

  I wanted you and someone on this thread to know the outcome, so if this happens in the future with another user, this can help to avoid long-term on unnecessary troubleshooting.

  Thank you once again for all the time you have helped me with this issue!

• HP ProBook s 4540 - system does not boot after recovery

  My friend gave me the laptop, because the system has not been detected. I decided to recovery operating system.
  I had to face following error messages:

  -I did not receive "Boot Device not Found" error

  I started the HARD drive with result success test

  -next step was to recovery OS
  He finished with the new error message
  "The boot image selected is not authenticated to. "Press to continue.
  According to this topic:
  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/selected-boot-image-did-not-aut...
  I did following:
  -secureboot changed to disabled
  problem persisted

  -legacy changed to enabled
  Since then, I'm not able to do anything. When I leave the start system, it ends with the HP logo, and nothing happens.
  When I press ESC after a reboot, menu appears, but I am not able to enter the BIOS. If freezes all the time in the menu with the text highlihted.

  I tried to remove the battery, unplug the power, press the powerbutton for 30 seconds, nothing has changed.

  Next step should probably be to temporarily remove the RTC battery, but I don't know if I'm allowed to open it without losing the warranty.

  The laptop is about 3 months old.

  Hello:

  Because the laptop is under warranty, I suggest your friend contact HP technical support and ask them to solve the problem.

  When you get a not found boot device error it's hard drive (if the test says it is spent or not) or the drive controller on the motherboard.

  I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

  HP support will probably have your friend go through certain stages that you did before they tell him what to do next as return them for warranty repairs, etc.

• Power of the Satellite P100-240 unit does not work properly

  From time to time my power (PA2521E - 2AC3) unit starts beeping and stops the power get to the computer, forcing it to drain the battery.
  Summer happening for several weeks now and sometimes it stops itself, but other times I have to put my diet off for hours and keep checking to see if the beep stopped.
  It does not overheat as I only for about 30 minutes before it starts to beep.
  If I turn off feeding the continuous ringing for a few seconds before disappearing for good.

  What is - this and I should send it back?

  Hello

  I never heard that the AC adapter would do some sounds or would start beeping
  In my opinion it of not normal and the adapter must be verified.

  You should definitely contact the ASP (authorized service provider) in your country to control and perhaps this part needs to be replaced

  I think the warranty is valid at the moment and the replacement is done for free

  Good luck

• System does not boot: failure of the video card or viruses? I do not know...

  Here's the deal: on a computer running Windows XP Pro SP3. Athlon, dual-core processor (2.4 gHz); 4 GB of memory; NVidia GeForce 7300 video card; and a Western Digital SATA, I met a failure while watching a DVD (using Media Player 11) and now I can't start.

  I have been having problems for a few days with my Dell flat screen monitor "energy saving" mode because it has detected no signal. After playing with this and obliging to recognize a digital signal rather than the automatic detection, all seemed well.

  During the film, the picture froze, the sound became a loud, grating buzz and shut down the system.  It has restarted as usual, but then would not start the rest of the way, stopping at the Windows XP screen.  The progress bar froze and spinning to stop the drive.

  However... on occasion, for example when the system remained some time, I can sometimes start in safe mode (but still, it hangs when starting "mup.sys") or he will move to the XP logon screen and freeze it.  I replaced the mouse and keyboard (whiched USB connections) used with their equivalents of PS/2, but nothing has changed.

  When I try to start, I hear all the clicks Associates, snoring and whatever else as if the startup continues normally.  However, when it stops, I can't "see" it on my network.

  I have a hunch that it is a damaged video card because also the failure during the film and previous issues of monitor, when I hit the map to try to reinstall, he felt much warmer that it should have, but a video card failure would prevent initialize to top?

  Any ideas?  I'm all that.

  It does for me, but of course as I said in my previous notice of Disclaimer: I want to emphasize that you should not take what I wrote as a definitive diagnosis. I can't see or test your computer from here. I give you my opinion on your computer based on my experience as a computer tech and what you have written. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  I understand that.  I was looking for another opinion by giving an update.

  However, it certainly seems that the jury went.  It freezes even trying to boot in the BIOS setup.  Thanks for the directions.
