Satellite Pro L40 does not start after changing the BIOS settings

Changed some settings in the bios last night and now when I boot I get a screen black lights flash and hard drive lights up but nothing on the screen.

There is no password on the bios... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

I put a windows disc now, I hear the disc spin but nothing on the screen

(I think that I have come to the right place on the forum)

It s a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 model psl4be.

Thank you

> There was no bios password... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

You can set the default BIOS ONLY inside the BIOS access BIOS by pressing F2 or at the beginning of the initialization of the order

But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
Maybe it s just a simple bad luck that this problem happened exactly after change something in the BIOS.

Try connecting an external monitor and check if you can see something on the 2nd screen.

  • My copy registered and checked for XP Pro SP3 does not start after changing the motherboard. Second problem is that I can't find my original install of XP Pro disc.

    After failing to find the source of reliable performance from my PC, I decided to bite the bullet and replace the motherboard, memory and the CPU. I installed a triple base 435 Athlon and a motherboard Gigabyte MA74GMT. Awarded PC again started the first time - but Windows will not, I get a number of options but none work - safe mode brings up several lines of messages on the partition of multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0).

    A previous post suggested that a similar message meant some kind of malware but if I replace the old motherboard, processor and memory Windows works very well - in fact I use it now.

    Do I have an option but to reinstall Windows from a CD? Otherwise I have a problem - I can't find the installation discs for each piece of software except my Windows XP Pro! I do repair discs?

    Thanks for your help.

Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Satellite Pro L40 does not start

    When I turn on my Satellite Pro L40 it shows me a screen asking me to start to repair windows or start windows normally.
    When you choose the option it brings me to the same screen.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you very much

    Salvation will be

    For me, it looks like the OS installed was confused for no apparent reason
    If you are not able to boot into the Windows XP operating system and if the repair option doesn t helps to start in safe mode I n t see any other possibility as to boot from the Toshiba restore CD and reinstall the OS again!

    But note; boot from the restore CD will format the whole HARD drive and you will lose all files stored on the HARD drive. ?

    It is a drastic procedure but in my eyes he's the only one who could allows to solve this problem.

  • Tecra A3 does not work after changing the power settings

    I changed my power settings in my tecra a3 laptop and now it does not start correctly. wants to start but just keeps going back to press F2 or F12 it please help.

    Hello
    where did you changed them? In the BIOS or in the Toshiba HW setup?

    I suggest you go into bios after turning on your machine. You have to hit just F2 Ant then in the search for bios for setting "all default setting" or something with "bios setup defaults" to reset your bios settings.

    After that, your computer should start up again.

  • 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 L650d-120 does not load after upgrading the BIOS 1.7

    After upgrading the Bios up to 1.70 my laptop is no charging current, but always works to the AC adapter.
    Can I do something on my own?

    Hello

    First of all, you should set the BIOS to default settings and need to save the changes.
    You must also leave the AC adapter plugged into the laptop for a longer period of time.

  • Satellite Pro A40 does not start after water spilled on it

    Hello

    I have a problem with the laptop of my companion. After she pours water on her, she has stopped working (no surprise really lol). I took it to pieces, right down to remove the motherboard to try to find the fault. Now when the AC is connected and batt is in place, NIP of the led, same thing happens without batt.

    BUT the computer does not light when you press the power button. Im guessing that it is a hardware failure, since water isn't really best friend elecrtics, but I was hoping someone else might have other ideas/solutions?

    I searched the toshiba site and found nothing on this laptop.

    Any help is very appreciated!

    Hello Danny

    You are absolutely right. It's probably hardware failure and I fear that the motherboard must be replaced. I recommend you contact Toshiba service partners in your country and look for info on the repair and costs.

    Good luck!

  • OptiPlex 755 USFF does not start after changing the cmos battery

    I have a desktop Optiplex 755 USFF requiring the cmos battery to replace. After the replacement of the computer will not start. It brings up the menu windows start, the sasfe mode, safe mode with network set mode command prompt, security, last know good configuration and boot normally. Any option will bring to the top of the WIndows XP loading screen and then re-boot of the computer right back to the start screen. A big loop. I can get the hard drive to boot in an Optiplex GX280 without problem. I was told of the motherboard needs to be replaced, but I changed the units of the system and the same thing with this hard drive.

    I tried to reinstall the operating system and get all the way to "starting windows" and then the blue screen stop error message 0x0000007B (0xF7A10524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) dead. The computer is WIndows XP SP3, 1 GB of ram with 80 GB hard drive. It seems that the Setup program does not recognize the hard drive.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    After several hours of experimentation, I finally found the correct BIOS settings in order to get the computer to boot. There are three BIOS settings that need to be changed or check settings by default so that it can work. SATA 0 must be activated, SATA operations must be changed from AHCI, ATA and in the modular Bay, by default "far-sighted" should be replaced by the IDE. Save the settings and start the computer to the right upwards.

  • System does not boot after changing the appearance settings

    I installed XP Home successfully, but the resolution of the screen to be changed. When I followed the instructions of troubleshooting, I was unable to get to the drivers. I changed the settings on the advanced screen prompt to auto, and now after the Windows XP logo load and it I hear the hard drive running, the next screen is completely white/black. Help!

    Is this the same solution for: in the advanced options of monitor, I selected "do not use this device"?  I tried to update the driver for the monitor and reach for straws when the button 'update driver' has been 'grayed out' (not available).  I have a new HP 2009 flat screen and have just installed XP on a new hard drive.  Monitor worked, although some resolution.  The type of monitor has been defined as "default monitor" and driver is VgaSave.  Thank you!

  • Windows does not start after changing the partition with external software

    Hello

    I messed up and followed some bad advice.  Water under the bridge, but I want to recover my bootcamp partition if possible.  I've seen several messages with the right process, but decided to post hear instead of assumptions.  I am running OS X El Capitan on an early 2011 MacBook Pro.  My 256 GB SSD is a bit pressed and tried to be too stingy with the Boot Camp partition, so my current troubles after resizing.  I have 10 Windows on the bootcamp partition.
