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.

  • My Satellite P20 is not on the current

    Hello!

    Well, I had another problem of management power to you guys.

    So far I have deal with overheating and abrupt shut down of the computer that was tied to it and clean the heat sinks fixed - it is ok now.

    On the other hand - management/battery charge always bothers me now and then... .and now, it is "then" to my penalty.

    It seems obvious that Toshiba knows about this problem and so I would really like to get answers to 'them '!

    I just lost a job due to the fact that my computer has stopped in charge, empty the battery, then press stop without a warning when the battery was empty (without a sound warning and I on 25%)

    I removed the battery and tried to start the computer, but it will not activate... .so I have to plug in/plug out the power cord several times until I get a charge light... .and then it powers up*@*!

    The strange thing is that, for the 3 last months or if she was very well (before that I had more or less the same problem), but after moving from my laptop in the House, it did it again!

    Any Toshiba brain read this?... causes I know I'm not the only one - common and show our free s and tell us why this is happening, please!

    It is not used much for a powerless computer, you know!

    Hi Ingi

    Sorry, but I don t agree with you. I use Satellite P20-303 almost three years and it works like the first day. Expanded memory up and cleaned the vents for a short period. It runs very quiet and pleasant. I love this device.

    Because of this, you can't write about a common problem on this unit. It is always possible that some users have a similar problem but that don t mean any notebook series has a serious breach.

    Second thing is that this forum is just the forum users and if you want the response from their partner service contact in your country, explaining the situation and I hope that they should be able to help you. I'm not a technician but I think there is a problem of electronic power and because of that, you have different questions (battery does not charge properly).

    I recommend you to speak with the authorized service partner. Call them and ask what can be the problem.

    Good bye

  • 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 - can not restart.

    I bought this mobile last year October and now when I try to restart, it will not restart but the fan works.

    Help, please. Must I send for repair?

    I bought this from www.buy-toshiba.co.uk and I have received everything but I have written notice of shipment I bought this laptop, but there is no price here. Serial number is written.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    just a question? Have you tried to reinstall your entire system (recover)? If this isn't the case, then I suggest you try this first, as it may be that you have just a software problem.

    Would be nice to have more information about your computer (installed a software, behaviour in particular situations, etc...)

  • 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.

    Hello

    Try to start the machine in safe mode and remove the preinstalled graphics card driver. Restart the device and try again. See the download from Toshiba site and download the latest updated driver for this device. My old unit was the Satellite P20-303 and I updated with SP2 with no problems.

  • Satellite P20 S203 does not recognize my additional 1 GB memory

    Hi all

    My computer (Satellite P20 S203) does not recognize my second Bank of memory (1 GB). I have two banks of memory of 1 GB installed. BIOS reports only 1 GB, Windows reports that 1 GB and my Linux so he says only 1 GB of memory. I removed each Bank of memory and restarted the computer successfully in each of the two slots, No Problem, but when the two banks of memory are inserted, it always uses only 1 GB. My BIOS is on version 2.10:

    BIOS is the PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0

    I know it's an old computer (about 10 years), but what could cause such a problem?

    Thanks a lot for any advice or suggestions!

    Kind regards
    Andy

    Hi fuegi_1,

    The upgrade modules, bought exactly?

    To me it sounds like that it s a compatibility problem or your computer laptop doesn't support 2 GB.

    If you use two memory modules, you must only use two modules of the same production.

  • Satellite P850 - Windows 8 will not restart properly

    Does anyone know why Windows 8 will not restart correctly on the laptop Satellite P850?

    It seems that whenever I have to restart, especially after the installation of an update, it crashes right on the screen of "Reboot" and I usually find myself having to hold the power button down to completely stop and then turn upwards again. Sometimes, I still have to do to make it stop.

    I would be very grateful for any help that anyone can give me please.

    I have no idea why the Windows 8 will not restart correctly, but this document should help you to repair or restore the system of Windows 8 on your Satellite P850

  • Satellite P20-404: WLAN is not working

    I wanted to use the adapter wireless network for the first time after a defekt disc and a reinstall. It worked before, but I did not reinstall WLAN right here. Now I don't know how to install it. There is no entry in the network connections that could be my wireless network adapter.

    There should be a built-in Atheros adapter.
    I activated the WLAN-> no light beside the symbol WLAN;
    I FnF8 Switched-> nothing happens, I don't see any unknown hardware in the hardware list.

    Are there opportunities that I don't have a hardware problem?

    Hello

    Are you sure that the WLan worked, before your changed the HARD drive and installed the operating system again?
    I found information that the WLan is optional on Satellite P20-404.
    So I think that some units have been delivered with the wireless network card and others did not.

    It of very strange that the WLan card is not recognized in Device Manager. Usually, if the WLan driver is not installed on the operating system for the wireless network card must be shown as an unknown device.

    I think in your case it s something wrong with the wireless network card or WLan card is not installed.

  • Satellite L40 (PSL48E) - is not restart after BIOS update

    Hello

    My problem is that I have updated the BIOS and after that the machine does not restart. (Corrupt BIOS?)

    After that the BIOS updated (Satellite L40 PSL48E), reboot the machine and with the F2 key, I open the BIOS setup.
    I check the version of the BIOS (5.50) and complete the configuration of the BIOS. The machine must restart now...
    Not at all, the machine does not restart. No screen only the powerled lights.

    I can to fix it on my own as a BIOS reset?

    Thank you for the cooperation.

    It's strange because after that the updated BIOS update you can go into the BIOS.

    However, try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait one hour and then put the battery back in and connect the AC adapter. Try again.

    If it doesn't work it is something wrong with the hardware or BIOS and must be checked by a technician for laptop.

  • Satellite Pro A300-15 t does not restart on the current after BIOS update

    Hello

    There is something wrong with my Satellite Pro A300-15 t. I made an update of the BIOS of toshiba recently with the latest Web site and it installed successfully. But after the installation, I noticed that my laptop does not restart when it is connected to the power adapter. It restarts and works perfectly when its power on the battery.

    After restart or start-up the laptop (on battery), it will be well when the adapter is connected.

    But, when I reboot when the adapter is connected, after his stop, just power light turns on for a second or two and gets off automatically. And not even the laptop starts manually by pressing the power button (LCD is turned off when the power light comes on for 2 seconds) when the adapter remains connected.

    So what I do is to pull the plug on the adapter, then start the computer manually by pressing the power button and reconnect the plug of the adapter to the laptop starts. It works well this way. Rest everything works perfectly.

    And this problem started after the update of the BIOS. Now, I don't know how to remedy the situation I don't know if there was a bug in the last update of the bios.

    Details of the update from: http://gulf.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=AE

  • Satellite P300 question, shuts down and does not restart intermittently.

    My wifes p300 presents a very confusing and annoying problem. She is now on her 3rd replacement the last two having the same problem.

    I just turned off intermittently for no reason, a few times, it will restart but sometimes he used. So if I remove the battery and plug in the power that it restarts again however it then turns off again and do not restart unless the battery is returned. I think it may be a problem with the battery and the power cable as she said that the problem will only get worse if the computer will run on battery power for a while.

    I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem or had any suggestions as to what could be the problem.

    Bill has soon

    Hello Bill and please describe your opinion on this subject. Reading your first post I ve also thought it should be overheating issue, but after this second announcement, I imagine that the food may be responsible for this turn off suddenly question.

    Please post the results of the investigation. It can be really interesting to know what the problem is here.

  • Satellite P20-102 - receiver remote not working do not after running recovery CD

    Hello

    I am running Windows Media Center Edition and on my laptop Satellite P20-102.

    I recently needed to run the recovery CD, the process went well except that my box of external remote control receiver provided with my laptop no longer works.

    The box works with XP Media Center Edition and the remote control before I ran the recovery CD. The receiver is detected and installed on the computer when it is connected and recognized in device like a USB Serial Converter Manager. The inner light flashes about 4 seconds. When you press a button on the remote control light both in the housing of the remote control receiver if it receives the signal.

    I guess it's a software problem, I can't find any information on the installation of the receiver or all the drivers for it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Paul

    Hi Paul

    I also P20 but unfortunately without MCE. I can't give you any help, but in my opinion, you should try to contact Toshiba hotline in your country. Maybe it's possible that one phone call can help you manage this matter in the right direction.
