Satellite P20 does not start - BIOS are not displayed

I have a Satellite P20 and recently it does not start. When I press the power button that disk HARD will light up and it will check the cd-rom drive, but the screen is blank and will not display the bios screen. I can only turn it off by pressing the power button.

Is it likely to be a hardware problem? I'll try to remove the RTC battery if possible to see if this resets the bios.

Thank you

Hello

Maybe you have a problem with your battery from the Machine.
Please make a new start without the battery.

Go that wasn't you maybe has a possibility with a display of extern.

I hope this is a help.

  • Satellite A100 does not display an image at boot

    Hey all.

    I'm having a problem with my laptop (A100), which is a little perculiar. I keep my PC the other day to restart. But when it restarts, it does not display an image. I saw any activity usual boot sequence, as HD-activity and other. But no picture.

    I tried to remove the believer battery which would solve the problem... but it didn't, and I simply dropped.

    The next day I started the machine, and it returned to the top and ran exactly as usual. So today I rebooted the machine, and he did the same thing. No image... but the normal boot sequence. I noticed that the battery - led is lit constantly, which is NOT normal. And when I remove the AC power the machine dies simply indicating that the battery is completely dead. But what is odd, behold, the machine will actually start (although without a picture) when I remove the battery and just plug in the AC power.

    Of course, I tried the usual things, want to do a test of the fool to make sure that the power is really and I've been busy pressing FN + screen-switch-button, but nothing seems to help.

    Now my question really comes in two parts:

    1. what may be the cause of this problem? I guess the battery is dead - and past 1.5 years is probably what I read. But why it works when I remove the battery and just use the normal power cable? Clues as to what I can do here?

    2. How can I retrieve my data from my hard drive? The data are quite valuable, and even though I have backups of it, I always lose hourse valuable work if I'm not activate somehow of the transfer to another machine. I have a Dell laptop, but I don't know there that a hard drive from a Toshiba will go in a Dell. Maybe you can me if they work together?

    Look forward to hearing from you and thanks in advance for your help!

    Looks like there is a bad connection between the video card and display, or the VGA or LCD card have an intermittent fault.

    To back up your data, you can attach the HARD drive to another PC using a USB SATA 2.5 "HDD adapter.

  • Satellite P20 does not see my router?

    Outside what is my 1st post, I am new to 'Wireless '. I thought all I had to do was flick my wireless light up, but no!
    My Mac connected instantly partners, and my laptop will not. I am trying to establish a connection with a Siemens Gigaset SE551 (which was given to us by our service provider).

    I tried all the instructions on a manual gave me more, I ran diagnostics etc. It's probably something really stupid that I forget... can anyone help?

    I have goggled a bit and discovered that the Siemens Gigaset SE551 router supports only the standard WLan 802.11 G.

    Please check what WLan standards are supported by you card Atheros WLan internal.
    We must define and support the 802.11 G, if you want to communicate with the router.

    As far as I know, you can see these settings in the WLan card properties.
    The properties you can find via-> made Device Manager right click on the WLan card-> properties

    As you have already said, you are a beginner then maybe you should ask someone with more experience WLan for assistance.

  • Satellite P20 - is not restart

    Satellite P20 does not restart. He says to re-boot of the original startup disk, but I can't afford to lose all the info.

    Any help appreciated thanks

    Hey colourglo,

    To be honest I n don't know what you mean and your description is very short and not intelligible. I think you expect help here from several users, you need to write a description of the exact error of what is happening and not one single sentence.

    You can start in safe mode?
    You get an error message or BSOD?

    If the Windows startup doesn t and doesn t safe mode work too you have to reinstall Windows. All that s.

  • Satellite C660 does not start on disc or USB

    My Toshiba Satellite C660-DSC0QE app, BIOS version 1.80, will not start Windows more - it just goes to the dreaded black screen with white cursor.

    I tried a system Win 7 recovery disk, a USB with software from Kaspersky on her recovery and even a full Win 7 installation disc, and it does not start at one of them.

    The boot order is set correctly, (optical drive or USB port) devices are read, but their initialization never actually in them - there is an obscure error message, or it acts like they weren't there at all.

    The obvious answer to these forums seems to be disable secure boot mode and then switch the to the CSM UEFI boot mode. Easier said than done - the menu options don't exist at all in my BIOS/CMOS screens.

    Finally, I see no way in the instructions to get a BIOS update occur without being already in Windows on the PC - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm I'm assuming that the BIOS version 2.00 would have these options.

    Any help gratefully accepted!

    Hello

    I assumed that you have a white blinking cursor in the upper left corner.
    Is this correct?

    These symptoms appear where the system can not find a boot device (HARD drive) or memory problems (RAM module).

    First of all, you said that you have UEFI / CSM boot mode in the BIOS settings.
    So I m asking you what parameters of start mode appear in BIOS exactly?
    Find you these settings in the right area?
    Usually, you should have an area (tab) called security in the BIOS.
    In most cases, you will find a safe boot option, but the Satellite C660 does not support this option because it s too old.
    But the startup mode (UEFI /CSM) should be available in the BIOS. Check the settings in the BIOS of the system area

    Anyway, as I said above; It could also be a memory problem, so I recommend you to check if the memory is OK.

  • After installation or upgrade to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not display the home page, personalize displays a blank page and the radio button does not work

    I am the admin of Windows for a University Department and install PC with Firefox all the time. This problem does not occur with every PC I would maintain, only a selection bit (model different laptops with Windows and update 1 8.1.) Until today, it has happened with the new user (with admin rights) accounts that I place on laptops for our staff. Today, this happened with the account administrator while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I have install Windows from a registered image that was created by using sysprep.

    I tried many suggestions to reset Firefox, removing the profile of Firefox users, removing the Windows profile users, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstall/reinstall of Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helped. After uninstalling, I run an application to delete the caches and temporary files and even remove manually the keys to register HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. I restart and make sure that the installation folder is deleted after uninstalling.

    Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial settings for migration, IE or Chrome pop up and after having clicked on the button finish, Firefox starts but does not display the home page of the new user, only a blank page. By clicking on the Options (3 bars) button does nothing. Right click in the appropriate box, the shortcut menu appears, so I can choose to customize, but which opens another tab with subject: Customize the URL and the page is blank. In the right click context menu, I can activate the menu bar and get options from that.

    My last attempt helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned, removed the profile user Firefox, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Initial start-up runs and tells me that I'm not up-to-date and the works of button Options. But I can't always customize.

    Then I upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no start page, no options button and no customization. I can go down to 30 and get customize practically works again.

    Addon only is for McAfee Scriptscan to Firefox 15.1.0, just after installation is disabled.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Satellite A300D does not illuminate

    Toshiba Satellite A300D does not illuminate

    The battery light is red when it is plugged in with the light of the white plug

    When I press the power button it lights up two other fires, and one that looks like a sheet a4 fact paper.it a vibration when turning it on also.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.
    Leave the laptop unplugged and then hold down power button / stop along 30 sec.
    Then reconnect the two parts and check how the unit works.

    In which case nothing would be visible on the screen, try replacing the RAM modules. Perhaps one of the modules is the troublemaker
    Otherwise if the RAM modules are OK, the problem could be linked to the motherboard.

  • Satellite A300 does not Logitech Bluetooth receiver.

    Hello

    My problem is that I don't know exactly what the problem...
    I have a laptop of 1MS Satellite A300 does not have built-in Bluetooth

    I have a bluetooth (MX5000 series) Logitech mouse that I installed for Windows Vista (I downloaded the latest driver of Logitech's official website)
    The Logitech software for bluetotth is called set point and the Assembly says I can connect other bluetooth devices through the bluetooth mouse receiver (like a cell phone, for example).

    The mouse works perfectly well, the problem starts when I try to connect my cell phone to the laptop (with the Nokia PC Suite software). I get a message that says that there is no bluetooth hardware installed. I tried to look in the bluetooth configuration control panel, but it isn't here. I can't find a folder or a tool that allows me to set up bluetooth.

    I would like to know what is the problem, why my laptop does not recognize the bluetooth receiver.
    I used to have installed on another laptop with Windows XP and it used to work without any problems.

    I tried the receiver in all the USB ports on the laptop with no result.

    Hi guys

    I can say with certainty that the Satellite A300-1 ms was not was equipped with the internal BT module and so the laptop does not recognize the Bluetooth receiver
    If you want to connect to the laptop to the external BT device then you need a BT USB key for example.

  • Satellite L655 does not load

    Hello

    My satellite L655 does not load, BUT it works fine when I charge the battery of my second toshiba laptop
    also does not open when I plug just the charger without the battery (led power 3min.from-no at all)

    charger works fine
    battery works very well
    tested on my other toshiba

    It works when I plug a charged battery ready.

    Any guys help?

    > It doesn't work when I plug a charged battery ready.

    It seems that there is a problem with electronic control gear.
    I mean that the laptop does not work even if plugged into the sector.
    It is certainly a problem given that all laptops would work without battery connected but connected to the power outlet.

    So I think there is a problem with the electronics which is part of the main map.

  • 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-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.
