Satellite Pro L300-1FN does not start - hang at the BIOS splash screen

My Satellite Pro L300-1FN refuses to start. When turned on the laptop displays the home screen toshiba/insyde H20 BIOS and the message "press F2 go to the Setup utility, F12 to go to the start menu" and flashes the light access to the hard drive, but don't try to continue loading. I left the bios at the start screen, but it doesn't do anything for long hours on a power supply or is running the battery flat while on battery.

Is there a way to re - put the BIOS on this unit? If it's a desktop unit I would remove the CMOS battery to force a reset of the BIOS but that's impossible on a laptop. The hard drive is fine because I have it plugged into another system to remove valuable data.

Hello

What happens if you press F2 when starting the laptop to the top?
You can access the BIOS?
If so, access the BIOS and set its default value. I think you need to press F9 or F10 to get default parameters, but this will be mentioned at the bottom of the page of the BIOS.

Check it!

    If it's a motherboard problem, the whole motherboard is replaced. Quite expensive part...

  • Satellite Pro L300 - Windows does not start

    Silly person I am, and being computer illiterate I turned off my laptop while it was downloading updates.
    Now when I turn it on it shows a black screen with 2 boot options.
    1 to start repair/restore mode,
    1 to start windows normally but does not work.

    I made the recovery discs after that I bought the laptop, but I am wary about its use.
    Although I don't do a lot of work that needs to save, I only surf the net and make emails.

    There are other safer options for marketing?

    Hello

    If you have any important data on the HARD drive you can use the recovery disk to reinstall the OS again and set up the device to the factory settings.
    The recovery disc will format the HARD drive and erase everything from the HARD drive.
    The installation process does not take long, you need to boot from the recovery disk and having to follow the instructions on the screen. All that s!

  • Satellite Pro S300-120 does not start after replacing the CMOS battery

    Hello

    My friends laptop - a S300-120 - was having a few problems.

    I replaced some parts about this before, including a screen crack with no problems.

    However, he began to refuse to start saying "out of battery CMOS, Press F1 to enter setup". Of course you would have to do this, set the date and time, except & restart only to get the same message. We have replaced the CMOS battery with a with the same serial number and now the laptop will not boot.

    It does one of two things.

    It is one) seems to turn, turn to the top disk & CD player, cooling fan is 100%, then flashes the POWER ON led once, twice by orange, and then green to 1/2 second intervals, with no response from the keyboard or LCD.

    Or (b) turns on, turntable, does not turn up to cooling fan, POWER ON witness remains stable, no response from the keyboard or LCD.

    I re-assembled the laptop several times & can not find all the missing fittings or obvious signs of damage.

    The only thing I can think is that the motherboard has been damaged - somehow find replacements is delicate.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    (> It is a) appears to turn on, turn the disk & CD player, cooling fan goes to 100% and then flashes him

    POWER ON led once, twice by orange, and then green to 1/2 second intervals, with no response from the keyboard or LCD.
    Usually, if the voltage in abnormal feeding malfunctions when IN DC will be blinking orange.

    In my opinion, it looks like a problem with the motherboard :(
    Eventually, you will need to replace the mobo ;(

  • Satellite Pro L850-1DW does not start correctly

    Hello

    I have a client who has a L850-1DW / PSKDHE-00E005EN laptop.

    She keeps pointing out that the computer does not start successfully from the cold.
    She argues that the question arises mainly when the battery starts but sometimes when it is plugged into the mains.
    I can see where point of newspapers that BSOD were registered at the start and that, on more than one occasion, his computer was recovered from a restore of Windows. He has also recovered factory once too.

    Although I've seen the consequences of these issues of "start-up" I have yet to experience first hand with the device.

    I noticed yesterday that the BIOS is outdated (as I had an alert Tempro).
    I upgraded from 1.6 to 6.50. Yet once, I didn't have problems.
    I can't find the release notes for the BIOS so I don't know if this is a known problem that has been fixed.
    I don't know if this "intermittent" defect is just that or if the user has the power button down too hard or for too long and in fact inadvertently crashing NB itself.

    Any suggestion is welcome.

    Otherwise, I guess I have to connect a call with Toshiba.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. In my opinion, you should ask your client if you can make the data backup and install original recovery image. To my laptop computer reviews must be tested with the settings without installation of additional software.

    > I don't know if this "intermittent" defect is just that or if the user has the power button down too hard or for too long and in fact inadvertently crashing NB itself.
    Who knows? Ask your client and show how to start the laptop by pressing the button walk / stop. It must be done slowly and for only one second.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - touchpad does not work

    Hi all that I need help urgent because it drives me crazy. First of all, I use XP PRO. My laptop is fairly new, only around the age of 4 months, I had no problem with it at all. I formatted my laptop yesterday and reinstalled all the drivers that I downloaded here:

    http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au

    and everything works fine except the touchpad. I have already installed shared, utilitarian toggle the touchpad Module and I have the latest BIOS installed and reset all default settings and I made sure that the touchpad is enabled in the BIOS, but also pressing FN + F9 to enable during Windows.

    I installed the latest touchpad driver Synpatics I downloaded from the homepage of Synaptics. But for some reason any, that it does not work, I don't know what is the problem here. My touchpad worked before I formatted my laptop, it worked fine and has never had any problems. Will you please tell me what is wrong because I need to use my touchpad sometimes as well, so I can't use a mouse all the time.

    Hello

    > I installed the latest Synaptics touchpad driver that I downloaded from the home page of Synaptics
    I think that you question refers simply to the driver for the touchpad that is missing or incorrect.
    I put t know how it works on Toshiba notebook Australian, but the Toshiba European Satellite Pro L300 units needs touchpad different drivers. some use the Toshiba touchpad driver and some units need a driver for the Synaptics touchpad.

    In your case, I recommend this controlled again.

    By the way; My touchpad is always disabled so that en external mouse is connected.
    It is parameters that control it. Please check in your touchpad properties too!

  • Satellite Pro L650/L650D does not start

    My laptop Toshiba does not work...

    When he was for a restart, the it closed suddenly... I want to start (start), but when I clicked on the Start button, it does not start... The LED lights were lit, but the laptop does not start...
    At the present time, the lights went out, I don't know how...

    It means that the laptop is break down?
    I hope not, because I don't want to spend more money with that... :(

    Is there someone who could solve this problem?

    Thank you very much, long in advance,
    Raquel

    It is not easy to solve these questions, because nobody knows what is the problem. It may be BIOS related issue or some other hardware related issue.
    It's that there are not a lot of options in this regard.

    You can try to remove the battery and unplug the power supply, press the power button / stop for a while and try again with power running. The same thing happens again?

    > The lights were on, but the laptop does not start...
    You hear cooling ventilation? When the laptop is turned ON it turns off a few seconds later or stays, but without any reaction simply?

    Hey Buddy...

    This looks very bad! :(il ressemble pas à quelque chose a mal tourné àle cours de la procédure de mise à jour dele de BIOS, et donc l'ordinateur portable ne peut pas démarrer correctement.)

  • 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.

  • Satellite A210-199 does not start successfully after the BIOS update

    Hello

    I've got Sat A210-199.
    Yesterday I updated the BIOS, and after that problems occurred:

    While restarting my computer does not start. When I enter the BIOS after a while, it shuts down.
    I guess all this because the temperature of the CPU:

    When I do nothing it is 77 C. I don't think it's normal: (.)
    Computer is very recent, so it's probably not dust inside. And it's so hot from the start, but after the new BIOS, something bad happens.

    Why this temp is so high?
    There is no any process background or something.
    Is this normal?
    And what about this new BIOS?

    To be honest, something like this should not happen. I really don't understand why this is happening. I have updated the BIOS on friends A200 and mine P200 and everything works fine. Here on this forum we can only speculate on this issue, but what you need exactly's professional opinion.

    This probably not help but install recovery image and check with the factory settings. Make sure you also on the lower side cooling fan is not blocked and the laptop can be cooled properly. If the problem persists, you should contact the nearest authorized maintainer and clarify this issue.

    Sorry, but I don't really know what you can do in this situation. I don't see any other way to solve this problem.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro 440 CDT does not supply power to the top

    Hi, I have an old 440 CDT which does not supply power to the top. Someone at - it ideas?
    AC is connected, the power led is lit, green. Battery is dead (as in buried). When I press the power button, the following occurs:
    -The led is green
    -Num lock (the one with the 'A' on this subject) flashes 3 times: long-short-short
    -HARD drive flashes 1 time, green
    -CD light flashes 1 time, orange
    -Popping sound in the speakers
    Then it turns off again, with the power light green constantly led.

    Nothing happens on the screen (I tried FN + F5). I'm also past CD/diskette, attached, with or without battery, without help.
    I am confused, please help!

    THX, Eric

    Hello Eric

    As you know, on this way it is not possible to give an accurate diagnosis, just speculate what may be the problem. In my opinion it is certainly because of faulty electronics on board, but what, exactly, it is not easy to say. Try to contact someone who has experience with laptop repair procedure.

  • Black screen, high regular of underscore on the left does not start after reflashing the BIOS F.38 on HP2000-363NR

    HP2000 363NR, recently tried flashing the BIOS F.38 (here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-116227-1&cc=us&dlc=&lc=en&o... ) to solve a problem of overheating.

    Well, it was a mistake.

    Now it does not start at all.

    Fans spinning upwards. Hard disk rotates.

    By pressing ESC, F1, F2, F9, F10 and F11 at startup to give appropriate (fast!) messages but then go to the same place:

    Black screen with flashing underscore in the top left. Leave it to this screen has no effect.

    Never see no text except the quick messages in the lower left (or "Press the ESC key for the system menu" down left based on nothing).

    Out and the relocation of memory does not work. Boot with a DIMM module does not work. Now hold power for one minute while the battery and plug on does not work.

    Battery is fully charged.

    OS is Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, came with the laptop.

    Is it possible to return this BIOS?

    -Me

    Thanks to Xraytim in the post below, short-circuit the battery CMOS me returned to the previous BIOS. Need to remove card system as a whole to achieve this * beep * connector, but 34 screws later (34 = some # between 15 and 50), BIOS is back, problem solved.

    Thanks for the forum!

  • Satellite Pro M70-113 does not start up - it hangs at the logo screen

    Hello

    I have a toshiba satellite pro m70-113.

    Sometimes when my laptop turns off mode standby automatically, due to inactivity and then if I press a key on the keyboard to wake up nothing happens and I have no other choice but to it stop completely by pressing the button for 5 seconds.
    But when I restart it works well, that is to say, it starts very well.

    But today, when it is in a similar situation, I restarted the laptop, the screen move after the logo screen toshiba. I have the power on several times, but without success. It crashes just on screen toshiba logo.

    After a few restart I pressed ESC while restarting and the toshiba logo changed to the texts POST bios screen.
    And I found that the text will not go forward after having reached:
    Find disk 0:
    Maybe default feel HDD initialization...
    The captured image is here:
    http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/9986/image007sp2.jpg

    Note: this is a capture when, I don't know how the system has just begun works very well and can be seen that the HARD drive is detected normally this time. While the earlier version, it will not proceed after having reached "Found Disk 0:

    So, the problem is that at the time of the problem, the hard drive was not read / initialized or something like that.

    And I remember that when I tried to reboot my laptop and it did not work. It was running on battery and when I switched power supply that worked.

    So it is a problem that has been fixed in a bet to update BIOS, but for another laptop (see laufendspass post) his link on this forum is here:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=13143&MessageID=48143

    And my current bios version is 1.1 and an update is available for v1.30... (But I have not yet updated)

    Another problem I had met some time was same this post mentions to be corrected during the update of the bios.
    i.e. "corrected: a computer that is turned on to State power and running on battery power, may crash if the user is connected to the AC adapter while it is start.»

    So, for this, all mean that these problems can be solved by an update of the bios v1.30 which is available for my Satellite m70-113?

    Please answer.

    Hi Ashish,

    The fact that the initial POST process cannot access your hard disk suggests you that there is a possible problem with the drive, maybe he is not in place correctly when power is applied to it. The contents of the disc should be OK, then I suggest you take a good backup of your system (or at least your personal data) If you manage to get your notebook to boot successfully.

    I do not think that an update of the BIOS will affect any on that since the problem does not seem to have a certain 'trigger', and if the BIOS cannot access the hard disk then no matter what version of BIOS you are using.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro A100-080 does not start - stays dark after 3 beeps

    Hello
    After a week off, the Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-080 (PSAASE-00G004GR, 4 GB RAM) of my kids start not anymore.
    When turn on/off the system, he * will beep 3 times * (one long, two short beeps), the HDisk light flashes 'blue' and then nothing more. A/c and battery power LED are 'blue', which seem to be OK status.
    No other useful help, as the screen remains dark.

    We had upgraded to 4 GB MEM (Kingston) a year ago and I already tried the old used 1 GB (included with purchase) or the replacement of 2 x 1 GB since December 2007, but equal status with these modules. This is not
    a defect of memory.

    I hope that this is not the motherboard, probably only the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 graphics included adapter?
    Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

    Thx for a short help.

    Hello

    Generally this type of beep codes are hardware related or with other words, hardware is defective. So I think it's a hardware problem and an ASP must check your laptop computer to identify the cause of this.

    I follow the maintenance manual, later the computer change is not star upward.
    When I connet to power it show that the luminous power of orange/amber color and make 5 flashes, then 3 and then restart blinking.

    My question is "is it posible to do a reset of the bios parametrers" or "reset the CMOS?
    Is it possible to get it working again.

    Hello

    The flashing light means that it has detected a hardware problem on the motherboard!
    Perhaps you have used a wrong CPU and is not compatible.

    Perhaps the BIOS does not support this processor and therefore this flashing error code appears.

    What say you can't update the BIOS! First of all, that's not possible since only focused on the victory of BIOS is available for download. You must run the Windows operating system to update the BIOS.
    Secondly the update of the BIOS won't help you with this problem!

    You must use a CPU that is fully compatible!
