Satellite Pro A - beeping during POST

Hello.

I have a problem with the BIOS POST check bothers me. The problem is that when I rebooted my computer or put on sometimes during POST (when a Toshiba logo appears) there is a beep beep. Especially there is no signal, but there are sometimes even noise.

So the question is: is this a problem at the level of the material or is it a problem in the BIOS (by the way, I re-flashed the repeatedly - BIOS without result).

Thank you.

Hey Buddy,

This means that you get only sometimes a beep code when you start the laptop or is it always?

These beep codes mean usually there is a hardware problem but I think that only an authorized service provider can test this exactly.
What you can do is to reset the BIOS to default settings and if you have two memory modules live, test it with a module only.

  • Satellite M40x - repeated beeping during post

    Hi guys. I have this problem.

    When I turn on my laptop, as soon as he gets to the Toshiba Logo screen it freezes and starts a repeated short beep lasts forever. I learned that a key has been blocked, so I tried to press some keys in case they return to normal. After a few tries, I managed to find the the only way to continue startup and loading of windows, is to keep the f1 + f2 + f3 pressed together all the time. I managed to log into windows I opened Notepad and published the keys then, I see we're stuck. A 44444 immediately started to type... Since the key 4 seemed all right, I thought it would be a problem with keyboard, so I tried to unplug. But the same thing happens with the Ribbon of keyboard completely disconnected from the motherboard. It freezes at logo Toshiba and beeps.

    After some research on the net and this forum, I found that many people experience this problem with different laptops, but I see no alternative but to replace the motherboard, I also found a topic stating that it was the fault of media buttons, but I tried to disconnect them as soon as I pressed the power button , unfortunately no different result.

    This forum is my last hope, someone has encountered something like that and fixed it? Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

  • Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN

    Hello

    My Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN. The network driver is a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC I've been looking through this forum and found some wire whit exactly the same problem, saying that the solution is to update Realtek lan set up in BIOS, not the computer BIOS, but I can't find any link to download the necessary upgrade file. Can anyone tell me please where to find this upgrade file or send it to me directly?

    Thanks in advance

    Is - this transfer of data in the company where you work? Do you want to download data from the server, or how to understand this? How to understand what you mean under big data?

    Have you tried downloading data on the Internet? For example, if you try to download some trailer HD (more than 200 MB)?

  • Satellite Pro A100 crashed during Windows BIOS upgrade, now does not start.

    This looks like a damage ROM module!
    How did you do the BIOS update? I have red in this forum that a wrong procedure or wrong BIOS can damage the motherboard.

    I think that it s a deal. I put t know if it s needed to change the entire motherboard or update the BIOS again but I n t think you will be able to do it yourself.

    I think the best way is to ask the Toshiba service partner in your country.
    I think they'll give you more details on the handling of the Fryer

  • Satellite Pro L100 - Crash during the update of the Bios

    Hello

    I am the owner of a Satellite Pro L100 (PSLA4E)

    On the Toshiba site I downloaded the BIOS update. While installing I read that it was necessary to supply cable is plugged. Before I could cancel for the cable, he had started and then frozen. The computer stopped working and so I turned it off! Since then, I've read that it was a very big mistake!

    When put on the fan starts and I can hear etc cd drive spinning. After 15 seconds, the screen is blank, the computer starts beeping!
    Is there a way to solve this?

    Thank you very much
    Rich

    Hi Richard

    Seems not good buddy from your description, that something went wrong during the update procedure and now the ROM module has been flashed properly.

    Maybe you area lucky man and the motherboard isn't too bad, but only the Rom module must be flashed again.

    Unfortunately, this must be done by the technician of the ASP. You will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    Good luck and have a nice day

  • Satellite Pro A60 crashed during the update of the BIOS

    Updating to BIOS ver 1.70 to 1.90 (from Windows XP) my Satellite Pro A60 off without any warnings. After about 5 minutes of waiting I went it. And... computer just several beeps and stops again.
    Anyone has idea what it means? Is it possible to turn it on again?

    Hi Vladimir,.

    I suspect that your BIOS is damaged when your A60 turns off. Unfortunately, this means you A60 are a failure now his POSITION leading to generate failure codes series.

    As Felix said codes tells the Toshiba Service Agent exactly what the problem is so you will need to contact them for assistance.

  • Satellite Pro A10 stops during the installation of Windows

    I have a satellite Pro A10, which stops during the installation of Windows. The installation gets to the part where I need to select the HARD drive to install, then the system off just. I can restart it immediately, and the sdame happens.

    If I enter the BIOS, everything is detected OK, and I've updated to the latest version (V1.4). Also when in the BIOS, the system will remain under tension for ever and a day! and no downtime. I have a couple of diagnostic CD, then run the tests is the same thing, but I ran the seagate diagnostic tool and the HDD OK passes, as does the main map, but cannot perform detailed testing that the system shuts down during the tests.

    I suspect an overheating issue but would like advice.

    Hmmm it s very strange. I thought that the HARD drive could malfunctions but it of very impossible if the HARD drive has passed the Seagate diagnostic test.

    However, it would be very interesting to know if the installation of the OS would end with another HARD drive.
    You know, it of always difficult to provide an exact solution without any diagnostic tests.

    For me, it really looks like a hardware malfunction. So perhaps it would be advisable to contact the authorized Toshiba maintainer for a control of the laptop.
    Guys could run tests and would situate the fault quickly.

  • Satellite Pro 4600: beep when the headphones are connected

    Greetings to everyone.

    I feel a strange audio problem with my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 headphone output port. Whenever headphones are used, bursts of low beep occur regularly every 3 seconds or so superimposed on what playing right now. Each burst lasts about one second and consists of about 8 fast beeps. The beeps occur after Windows starts and end once the system off. I thought that it was a driver issue, but I use the latest driver for my card, downloaded from the site Web of Toshiba (package name: s5105sndx.exe).

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your attention.

    This problem doesn't appear if the headphone is plugged or also with the speakers if the headphones are disconnected?

    If this happens only if the headphone is connected if there is something wrong with the headphone jack.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 - stops during installation of operating system

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite pro 4600 that my son bought his first Fixer of computer.

    The laptop comes with the hard drive erased. The problem he is trying to install Windows 2000, the laptop comes with OEM.

    The computer starts up to the windows disk and loads all the files, but when the Windows installation starts the computer stops.

    We are trying to install the power adapter plugged in, and it seems that all the lights are either now or at least works.
    This laptop was announced as work, but with no OS installed. As this is the first that he bought, we have no spare parts to swap around.

    Guidance on what would be the most likely problem, or a good place to start looking would be greatly appreciated!

    First, I would try to clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can get in at a computer retailer.

    As Akuma said, check the RAM with Memtest86 and also on your disk with the Drive Fitness Test: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT

  • Satellite Pro A100: Problem of posting Key

    Hello

    Last summer, we bought twenty Satellite Pro A100 computer laptop for use in our school. In the last six months, we had several problems with keys off keyboard. It is a great disappointment as it was at my suggestion that buy us Toshiba laptops. Is it possible that we can get this situation corrected? I think that the best approach would be to transfer all the missing keys on a laptop and then put it back, but if this is going to be a constant problem in the loss of keys, then I would prefer that another solution is found.

    I would appreciate an answer as soon as possible, because we are currently without the use of these machines.

    Thank you

    Hello Simon

    I read this forum for a long time because I use Toshiba laptops. To be honest, your story is really amazing. To untie me key cannot be done without a current and pull them up. Each unique key is set with small plastic hooks. I use the keyboard on my Satellite M70 (older than your A100) every day and quite extensively, but the keyboard is still in good condition.

    Please don't be crazy about me, but its use in school is also... How to say... in question. Are you sure that the students of your school correctly use laptops? In my opinion, you should contact the nearest authorized partner and attempt to clarify the situation.

  • Why Satellite Pro A60 beep sometimes while working normally?

    Hello

    Every now and then I hear a beep loud echo while using my A60, what does this indicate? I'm afraid that I had to have my laptop repaired twice under warranty and now the warranty is out, I don't want to end up with costly repairs. First time out, it was the hard drive, the second time out, it was the motherboard. My phone always has this noise.

    Please help on this issue.

    Thank you
    Clive

    Can you identify origin of this noise? Maybe it's CD/DVD drive?

  • Satellite L350-12N - beeps during startup

    Hello

    I bought this as a refurbished laptop, and I have a problem getting it to start. When turned on, it says welcome to Toshiba screen where you can press the function keys to access the configuration screens, then the screen goes black, makes a continuous beep sound and goes no further. It loads the operating system.

    I tried to restore the operating system to the hard drive as described in the manual, but still the same fault. Is this a known indicator of a hardware or software failure?

    Any help or advice would be appreciated!

    Hello

    To be honest, I still don t understand what you exactly. Do you use F8 at the beginning upward to enter advanced startup options or what?

    You have created recovery DVD such as recommended by the reminder of Toshiba? If so, you can try installing the OS using this recovery media.

    In any case, enter the BIOS at startup settings upward and set it to default settings. HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?

    At the end I have to say that it is not easy to say what the problem is here. If please check out what several things and let us know if the HARD drive is recognized correctly, or what will happen if you try to install the OS by using initial recovery media.

  • Satellite Pro A10 hangs during the installation of Win XP

    Hi guys,.

    just thouth I would ask why my new laptop will not install XP.
    Only, it crashes during installation. No n' achete purchased on this occasion, had no operating system installed.

    I wonder if it's a driver problem, using my xp disc I bought, but like I said that just, it will hang during installation.
    What I need to intergrate drivers somehow?
    I'm guessing that this is the problem?

    If so, how do I?

    see you soon

    I really wonder that your new laptop is probably produced about 5 years ago. ;)

    In any case, to install WXP use WindowsXP SP1 installations CD (factory settings). If you want to discuss a little more please explain to us what exactly is happening.
