Satellite P500 is not the start - stop screen Toshiba

Hey everybody,

I spent hours scouring the Internet to see if anyone has had a similar problem and I found nothing.

When I turn on my laptop, I hear the fan starts and the screen on the Toshiba load screen startup - and stays there.

I tried a drain of power and trying to bring up a menu with F8, but none worked.

Because I have heard the usual hard disk, I suppose that there is a problem with the HD. Can anyone suggest what to try? If the hard drive went out I do not know if a USB or a system restore disc would work. I also read that I could try to remove the RAM, but I don't know how that could help.

I bought my computer in the USA but lives in France now, referring to the USA for repair would be very expensive. I also left my warranty info and recovery disc in the USA like crazy. I'll be back for the holidays, but it's a long time to go without my computer!

Any ideas would be very appreciated.

See you soon,.

Looks to me the POST (power on self) test cannot be spent properly and that means above all then an error has been detected on the motherboard
So it looks like a serious hardware problem :(

  • Satellite P500 - cannot increase the brightness of the screen

    I have a new Satellite P500.

    The problem I have is that if I have the power shut off for several hours I lose the ability to increase the brightness of the screen. I can get increased brightness to level 4 and when I increase level 8 the brightness down. If I go down, the screen goes black. The only solution I found is to turn off the power, remove the battery, put it back in and power on.

    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi mate,

    It's a bit confusing...
    In addition, it would be interesting to know what OS you are using. Normally, if you are running OS preinstalled from Toshiba, everything should work properly.

    So in your case, I would try to update the BIOS which you can find here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Sorry, but everything that s what I can say at the moment.

  • Delay on the 'Starting Windows' screen

    The problem I have is this, whenever I start my PC there is a delay on the 'Starting Windows' screen. The screen does not freeze or anything just ten minutes to bring up the Log In screen. It's the only time where that the PC is delayed, it has no effect on the operation of the PC. I uninstalled my anti virus and that does make a difference and I have made sure all drivers are up to date. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Bluescreens can have different reasons so it s is not easy what causes this problem. Normally, Bluescreen related to drivers or a faulty hardware (RAM or HARD drive).

    But have you tried an external monitor now? Maybe the internal monitor is defective if you get a black screen.
    Check it!

    I put t know what you hear with customer support, exactly, but on the Toshiba site you can find a list of all authorized service provider. Call them and explain your situation. They can help you as they can order spare parts Toshiba.

  • Satellite U400 will not usually start upward

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-217 (PSU44E) running Windows 8.

    Worked fine until a week ago. Now, when I turn it on, the lights are, there is a memory hard drive spin (1 second) - and then nothing. Above the keyboard lights stay on, but the screen remains black.

    I read a use Reset where you take the battery and the power cable on and press and hold power for 30 seconds, then plug the power cable in, starting at the top, stop, reinsert the battery and start again.

    However, the machine still primer not after 30 seconds the hold button. I always get just the lights and nothing else.

    However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out all 30 or more.

    It's boring - ideas or suggestions very welcome.

    Thank you very much

    KaiBosh

    > However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out every 30 or more.

    In my opinion, you should first check the HARD drive
    A friend of mine installed Win 8 on the new computer laptop from another manufacturer
    After a while that the laptop will not start I thought its something wrong with the card mother, but in the end it was just a HARD drive failure

    To be honest I n don't know if his only problem disk HARD but in my opinion, the HARD drive is one of the first pieces that need to be checked
    OK, in the worst case, it could be possible that dysfunction of this mobo.

  • Satellite L300 - does not successfully start Vista

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 when I boot it it goes directly to the Boot Manager screen where I have to start it manually. Once it starts it does not work correctly until I click on the Quick Launch button to stop scrolling up and down line.

    I have a full recovery of the system twice, but I'm still having the same problem.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    To be honest I don t understand what you mean exactly
    What happens if you press F8 immediately after the laptop has been power up?
    You can see the Advanced Boot Menu?

    If so, then try option called last known good configuration.
    If this does not help try you safe mode.

  • HP pavilion elite hpe 500cs: stuck at the start-up screen

    Hello
    I bought gtx 1060 to my hp pavilion elite hpe 500cs pc, but I can't front the start screen (cannot even get into the bios settings). I inherited bios with the latest version 7.15 which is avalible for my motherboard. The card worked on power and different Mr. b. is sufficient. I also have 1 beep, that the long break and followed 3 short and fast beeps long beep.

    Any ideas?

    Your comparison of different systems and not being is not specific about the other tested machine.  It is like comparing a Citroën with a Renault. (Could not stop myself, realizing your in CS).  The HPE 500cs, as you say, is Legacy BIOS.  The new GTX 1060 is UEFI and would not work in the HPE without a hybrid BIOS from the manufacturer of the card.

  • Satellite P500/01R reads the data, but cannot write data on CD files

    I recently bought a laptop Satellite P500/01R. I am able to read a data CD, but can't write data on CD files. The CD is read/write.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Have you tried different burning software?
    I m using Nero and in my opinion one of the apps better combustion.
    Here, I can choose between CD, DVD, DL or Blueray (only possible if the CD/DVD drive also supports this).

    Have you also checked diffΘrents CDs from different manufacturers?
    You should do this since not all disks are 100% compatible.
    I had several problems with different CD or DVD in most of the cases it was a compatibility issue, I tried TDK and this kind of drive is compatible with my CD/DVD drive
    I m using the standard of R.

  • Firefox does not appear in "partial" mode I can't get the display full screen or reduced display, not the intermediate partial screen window.

    When the screen is reduced to a minimum, I have to hover over the preview, right - select optimize for any screen at all, and it's the display full screen.

  • Satellite Pro L10 not cold start

    I have a Pro Satllite L10. When it is completely shut down, the system does not always start. If it is tostand by, then it seems restert without a problem, but starting cold is something blindly. It seems that it will often start if you press the power button once, then leave the unit for a few minutes and then try again, but which could be lucky and have no real meaning.

    Hello

    Is it happens when the laptop works only with the battery or is connected to the adapter?

    It is really hard to say what might be wrong or why it's happening.
    I can only speculate on the dysfunction that maybe there is a problem with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.

  • Satellite P500 - cannot find the program Smart Audio

    Hi guys,.

    Sorry to bother you again, but it seems that I have another problem. I sent my Satellite P500 for repair several days ago, but when he came back I couldn't find this program Audio Smart on that. And it should be forever.

    Could you help with this problem? Thank you.

    Hello

    AFAIK this Smart Audio program has something to do with the driver audio or let's say s a part of it. So in your case, I recommend reinstalling the audio driver.
    You can get the latest version on the Toshiba site.
