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.

Welcome them

    > 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.

  • Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

    In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
    Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

    What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

    When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

    When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
    The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - does not start with 4 GB of memory

    Hi all

    I'm new here so please be gentle!

    I have a Satellite Pro A120, model No. PSACOE - 037014EN and you want to increase the memory 512 MB present. I tried 2 different sets of memory 4 GB (2x2gb), but the machine does not start. I tried the different modules together and on their own but still no joy.

    Where I'm going wrong? This model will not take 2 GB memory modules?

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Best regards

    Dr. Feelgood

    Hello

    Before changing something about your hardware, please make sure that if the computer supports the new pieces of material and, therefore, you can also consult the user manual.

    Anyway, I checked this and this laptop can only be upgraded to 2 GB maximum. This means that you can use the module of 1 GB in each slot and * no * 2 GB in each slot.

    So please bring back the memory modules and buy 2x1GB. It will work.

  • Satellite Pro L50 does not start with 8 GB

    I have a brand new L50 Pro of Satellite (PSKK3A-001001)

    Config of RAM is default of 1 x 4 GB memory DDR3 12800 1 use slot 1 slot free
    I removed 4GB and install 1 DDR3L 12800 8 GB but it does not start.
    The form of State capacity 16 GB so with 2 slots logically, that means 2 x 8 GB cards.
    He also said DDRL, which I assume is the correct type.

    The 4 GB mark was Hynix and the 8 GB is Apacer.
    Anyone have a resolution on this or know what the problem is?

    On this forum you can find many threads where people describe similar problems. In most cases the problem is compatibility modules, especially if Ram needs to be upgraded with modules produced by different manufacturers.

    According to the specifications of the laptop you need DDR3L memory (1600 Mhz).
    Talk with your dealer and ask if there's Kingston compatibility module. Kingston offers high quality and 100% compatible memory modules.

  • Satellite Pro L40 is not start!

    Hello

    I just got a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 and I tried to install WinXP and WinVista on it, but after the 'realtek boot agent' screen, the screen remains black.

    Once I recognized that it is not working properly, I went into the BIOS to change the order of boot or something. But he wasn't listed CD/DVD player and there was no option to boot from USB.

    You have a solution for this problem?

    Thank you...

    This means that your CD/DVD drive does not appear in the BIOS and you can not boot from the CD recovery Toshiba or from the Microsoft windows CD?

    Everything you say seems strange to me

    In the worst case I would recommend contact the authorized service provider in your country for control of computer laptop because it s a new laptop computer and the guarantee must cover everything!

  • Satellite Pro 460 does not start with the new drive in

    I recently received a Satellite Pro 460, but he had no hard drive.
    It starts great without a disc in but as soon as I put a new hard drive in it does not start.

    I thought that it might be again a hard drive, so I pulled out my old Toshiba Satellite with my old drive to work, and yet, it does not start.

    Someone has any ideas why this is and what I can do about it

    I think that you can not do much. Satellite pro 460 CDT, for example, comes with 2 GB of HARD drive. If you try to get it work with similar HDD without success, it may be defective IDE port on the motherboard.

    What HARD drive you are trying to use on this good old classic?

  • Satellite Pro C650 - does not start

    Hey all,.

    My Satellite Pro C650 boot not beyond a certain point. I tried to start in all modes different for example safe mode, mode of networking,

    However this proved unsuccessful, the laptop freezes and I meet a constant and regular beep at the same point every time that I try to start. I even tried to start Linux 12.04 USB to see if it's hardware or software, unfortunately is the same, which means hardware failure.

    The problem is that I don't know the bios beep codes and I can't understand what needs fixing.
    I was hoping you could help me!

    Thanks :)

    I think you need professional help with this problem. I don't know if your laptop is always guaranteed to be valid, but in my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help. They have special diagnostic tools and hardware malfunction can be detected and repaired.

  • Satellite Pro 480CDT does not start (even in BIOS)

    Hi all

    I just hand on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 480CDT

    I had to work with the original power supply (on an inverter plugged into my 12v cars I wasn't close to 240 v power outlet)

    It worked very well, it boots into Windows 98 and I played with a few programs (Media Player and defragmentation)

    I got it defragment for about 5 minutes, while charging via the car converter, however it froze and I had to hold the power button to restart.

    When I tried to next turn on the screen remains empty, the hard drive is not turn and there is only the power LED and battery LED that lights up.

    He let me press the function key that lights up the fn LED on top of the keyboard, but then after a few presses of lighting stops.

    I opened the case and concluded that there are two batteries of the bios, the look at where they are plugged into the main Board, there is green type of corosion on the pins, I removed the plugs (who might add when it is very difficult to remove because of the coros), I cleaned the plugs (male & female) with a pen of WD40 and plugged in I got a voltmeter on them and they demonstrate tension and also show higher voltage when the power supply for laptop is connected, then it means they are load or at least tension.

    After doing this I go up the laptop, but it still suffers from the same problem?

    Please what could someone help or give me a little advice? My next event is the power supply Board but wanted to get some ideals before hand.

    Thanks in advance.

    > after doing this I go up the laptop, but it suffers still from the same problem?

    His pity to hear that your baby dead :(
    But if we move to a diagnosis of material, I doubt someone here might be able to point in the right direction if his motherboard problem, it would be really difficult to solve this problem without using special tools, circuit diagram of motherboard and of course experience

    I think you should check the modules memory vivid faulty ram could affect the laptop everything is just speculation

  • Satellite Pro 6100 does not start - power light flashes

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro 6100 when I press the power button and HDD lights up briefly then powerlight blinks.
    It seems to Flash a pattern: on (2 sec) flashes (2 seconds) then off (about 8 times)

    What he told me? No fan, no display no hardrive is active.
    Food is ok because it load battery.
    I bought it as it would be something easy to fix ideas?

    Hello

    It sounds bad
    Generally, the power led will blink due to a malfunction of the equipment.
    The LED provides a microcode and only the technician can read this code.
    A common user is not able to read.

    Maybe you'll be able to read this code, but you won't find any description about the meaning of the code.
    I recommend you contact the technician in your country

    But try this:
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Wait severla times and then plug in the battery and plug in the AC adapter.
    If this does not help, you have aks, a complementary technician...
