Satellite Pro L870 don't stay on the Toshiba logo forever - no start

Hi all

Does anyone know of a problem that could cause a no boot (a few stays on Toshiba logo forever) followed by starting on the second try almost every time on a Toshiba Satellite Pro L870 (Windows 8)?

Thanks in advance

The laptop usually performs the POST (power on self-test) while the Toshiba splash screen is visible.
In power in the self-test, the essential components card mother (i.e. RAM) is enabled.

I think the POST should not be spent properly and so the laptop hangs at the Toshiba logo screen.

But unfortunately, I can't say with certainty what part could be affected it could be a RAM problem or a motherboard problem.

  • Satellite Pro L870-172 error 003 when retrieving the recovery DVDs

    Hi all

    Having a devil of a time with this portable darn. So I bought the recovery dvd. tried to boot from the disk and comes with no OS bootable. Thinking it could be a problem with the optical drive, I created a bootable usb key.

    Received the usb key to start

    So I goto Toshiba Recovery Wizard
    Press Yes to say it will wipe the drive.
    Retrieves the software factory default
    In the end, I get an error message

    Error: 003
    Recovery error

    Press ok to start the computer

    You can see the final screen here.

    Can anyone help plleeaaaseeee.

    The only thing I can think is that maybe when I created the USB startup key should I copy then disk2 on the stick as well using xcopy.

    I think there are several reasons for the error.
    The recovery media or the hard drive is may be defective. Wrong settings of the BIOS, etc...

    I recommend you to check once more the Toshiba Recovery bootable disc.
    I don t think that there might be a problem with the optical disc drive.
    From my point of view, it could be a bad BIOS setting.

    The Satellite Pro L870-172 has been pre-installed with the system Win 8.
    Please check start secure as well as the UEFI boot mode option in the BIOS.

    Generally, in order to be able to boot from different devices to boot, secure boot must be disabled.

  • 'Lost' on Satellite Pro L870 webcam

    I bought a SatellitePro L870-171, with factory pre-installed Win 8 64 bit laptop for Christmas gift from my wife.

    Taking advantage of the opportunity to get familiar with the functions and utilities, I found the web camera integrated a few days ago, which produced a self-portrait on the screen! More recently, I tried to find the way to access the camera again as my wife will want to try "Skype".

    I can't locate or obtain a new screen image - no doubt I have pressed the wrong button screen at any given time have disconnected?

    The camera is a USB device. I checked with + Control Panel/Device Manager/imaging devices + and the camera is shown as working properly with his driver as "TOSHIBA Web Camera - HD" - there is no yellow exclamation of warning icon. By clicking on the device and selecting Properties tab indicates the device is working properly. looking at + system devices in Control Panel under USB Controller all seem OK. Looking at + Panel configuration/devices & Printers + does not show a camers. (For some reason, this laptop doesn't have an applciation of camera like on the Win 7 version (don't know why?) when the Toshiba web site is checked.)

    I was looking for Panel start with "camera" and all I get is a list of menu small
    -CameraSettingsUIHost.exe
    -ViewScanners & cameras

    By clicking on the file EXE does nothing.
    It is located in four files when you perform a search in windows for this.
    By clicking on "ViewScanners"... "a dialogue window which should display the devices listed, connected and turned on. -There is nothing showing?

    Click the Add button and crossed in the following windows, but only four manufacturers of cameras in the list, Dell, Kyocera, Lexmark, Xerox - neither of which is Toshiba.

    Can anyone suggest what steps are needed to 'find' the camera again?

    I found on

    a file from Toshiba Web Camera Application < tc30463200a.exe=""> , size 86 MB, for Win 7 32 bit to Win 8 64 bit.

    There are hundreds of laptops listed, but not my specific - the only L870 are «...» L870-ST2N01, L870D-BT2N22, L870-ST2NX1, L870-ST2N02, L870-BT2N22, L870D-ST2NX1... »

    Should I install this application, although there is was that nothing installed initially?

    Thank you in anticipation of the answers.

    Hello

    First of all, you said you have a Satellite Pro L870-171 the link you posted above leads to the Toshiba driver page we your laptop is a European series, so you must use the drivers supplied by Toshiba UE driver page.

    Your L870 Pro Satellite belongs to the PSKFPE series and the drivers can be found here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    However, I think that the webcam software is already preinstalled on your laptop, but you have looked in no position to webcam that you should not look in Control Panel, or in the Device Manager in you want to start the webcam program.
    You must start windows explore and go to all programs-> Toshiba
    There you should find the webcam utility.

  • Satellite Pro L870-15F and missing compatibility Windows 10

    Concerning

    How is it that a laptop that isn't so old or so cheap does not have to be compatible with Windows 10?

    I guess that in this forum from a user to anyone will be able to answer this question, but from my point of view of a few each notebook / computer manufacturer must decide which models would get additional software support...
    Toshiba released still many laptop models in a short period of time, and in my opinion that it is not easy to provide support for all series laptop... so somewhere it is necessary to make a clear cut...

    But you can still install Windows 10 laptop and I am sure that the system will work perfectly, but probably some portable devices is not available due to lack of software...

  • Satellite Pro L870-18R - no boot after upgrade CPU

    Hello

    Bought the "SATELLITE PRO L870-18R" alongside a "Intel Core i7-3740QM 2.70 GHz FCPGA988 L3 6 MB 4 Cores CPU 2.70 GHz" to upgrade the processor and get a beautiful machine.

    Boots of machine as expected with its stock i3, but white LED will blink once and no post when upgrading the processor is applied.
    Is their a bios that will support this CPU, otherwise what is the max processor that toshiba will move to. Little bit discouraged, I can't upgrade.

    Is their a bios that will support this CPU

    BIOS updates are not released to allow new media of CPU, but the BIOS updates are released to fix possible problems for laptop...

    If this is not the case, what is the max processor that toshiba will move to. Little bit discouraged, I can't upgrade.

    Still is it that manufacturers of mobile phones do not support updates on own laptops... This means that there is no further information on the possible processors and supported.

    However, a new processor usually requires a BIOS and chipsets support... so in case you want to make these updates (of course only at your own risk) then you will need to use a CPU that is supported by the Intel Chipset. But there is no guarantee that this notebook would functions even if you use a processor that would be supported by the chipset...

  • Satellite Pro A200-16N: can I use the recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

    HII!

    IM thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N and I ran the pre-upgrade of windows vista from microsoft website and it says that my system will be in charge of windows vista so im ok about it.

    The problem is that if my laptop was to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD provided by toshiba to work always on the laptop with windows vista?
    They will return the laptop for windows xp or from my laptop has another operating system they will not work?

    Also...
    What's the deal with BIOS? : S
    I don't understand!
    If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
    As I download the new drivers before upgrading Yes?

    Thank you!

    The restore CD will of course work.
    The recovery CD will always set the laptop back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HARD drive will be formatted and the image of Toshiba will be installed.

    > What's the deal with BIOS? I put t understand!
    > If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
    To my knowledge, that this laptop was already shipped with Vista, so you need not update the BIOS if you want to reinstall Vista.

    Some series Satellite A200 needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
    In such cases, it s advisable to upgrade the BIOS to version XP first, then install OS X.

    Best regards

  • On Satellite Pro L870-173 keyboard problem

    Hi, I am the owner of a laptop from the Satellite Pro L870-173.
    By writing an e-mail the keyboard functions has changed.
    Some keys have a different meaning, examples

    Space lab = o
    4 = o v4v4
    c = the optioo for a secodon display

    What can I do?
    Is originally a default keyboard?
    Do anyone have an idea?

    The system is a 6v4 - bit win8o
    The keyboard settings is always the same: German language

    Thank you very much!

    > Do someone has an idea?
    Yes, I have an idea.

    > Is originally a default keyboard?
    I m afraid, Yes.

    You can confirm my idea connection external USB keyboard to the laptop.
    In case your external keyboard would work correctly, the problem is definitely related to the internal keyboard.

  • HyperMemory on Satellite Pro L870 - 18G

    Hey, I have a Satellite Pro L870 - 18G with equipped with an AMD Radeon HD card 7670 M. I read up on the specs and see that this specific map using HyperMemory who works with the RAM installed on the laptop. I want to install 16 GB of RAM instead of the standard 4 GB installed and so I'm interested how this will affect my graphics.

    According to Toshiba´s description clean it will work this way:
    + 2,048 MB dedicated VRAM. Available graphics memory can be extended with the system memory, with HyperMemory technology: up to 3 823 MB with 4 GB of installed system memory and up to 8 GB of installed system memory 5 871 MB +.

    Where can I see if HyperMemory is enabled and I see the amount of memory the graphics card is currently 'give '?

    null

    Hello

    If you expand the RAM to 16 GB of RAM, the majority could be shared with the graphics card.
    The graphics card driver affects the part of the RAM memory graph automatically, which means that its impossible to change this value manually.

    In case more graphics memory is required, the pilot would share this part automatically.

  • Satellite Pro L870 - Touch-pad suddenly stopped working

    Hi - the touchpad on my Satellite Pro L870 - 18G (Windows 8) has suddenly stopped working (after less than 2 months use of)-which makes the phone rather difficult to use. There is nothing wrong with the driver - according to the Device Manager, but I tried to reinstall when even (did not help).
    These things are not normally suddenly?

    Why device manager says that there is no problem when there is a very clear?

    Maybe the touchpad is disabled. Is there a any reaction when you use the FN + F5 key combination?

  • Satellite Pro 4200 recognize RAM only in the B slot

    I have recently got a Satellite Pro 4200 and want to increase the memory up to 320 MB.
    To start I bought a 128 MB module and have found that with a 64 MB module in a slot and the 128 MB in the other system only recognizes the module into the connector B.

    Must the modules in the two slots be the same value for the system to recognize them? i.e. the 128 MB or two 64 MB.
    If this is the case its OK but if it's not I don't want to buy another 128 MB module, if the location is unservicable.

    Thank you
    Billabilla.

    Hello

    Wow Sat Pro 42000 is an oldie I didn t think someone using this mobile in the future, I mean it's a great laptop but the performance he is too weak to be present-days.
    As far as I know the Satellite Pro 4200 was equipped with Mobile Intel Celeron 500 Mhz or with an Intel Pentium III 450 Mhz / 500 Mhz.

    Pentium 450 Mhz CPU equipped units can be improved up to 320 MB. All other units can be upgraded up to 576 MB.

    I think that the 64 MB module should not be removed!
    You must use 64 MB + 128 MB or 256 MB or 512 MB (only for models with 500 Mhz processor).

    Hope this helps you

  • My Satellite Pro M70 itself turns off in the middle of the secuence of startup

    My Satellite Pro M70 itself turns off in the middle of the secuence of startup

    After turning on if it passes the test post and enters the menu grub (Linux + Windows) or BIOS
    without problems, but most of the time after the start of the BONE found in the start - up, suddenly it powers off the power.

    The problem becomes bigger and bigger as punishment I can boot any operating system

    As seen on messages more soon as I cleaned the vents of CPU with a spray suddenly sure I wasn't a problem of overheatting.

    Someone has an idea of what can happen?

    Thank you

    Hmm, the laptop passes the MESSAGE correctly and it stops during the initialization of the operating system. Is this good?

    Well, in this case I would exclude the RAM to malfunction.

    I put t also think that it's an overheating problem because the laptop should work a little longer until it would be closed due to high temperature.

    What about the HARD drive malfunction? Are you sure that the HARD drive is ok?

    In my opinion, you should check the HDD and maybe try another.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 - very low picture on the screen

    Guys, I really need help.

    I picked up on old satellite pro 4600 eBay and have rebuilt the thing - everything works EXCEPT the screen - I get a very small image, even on the start screen.

    So far I have - changed the cable lcd - no effect. changed the Panel itself, no effect and inverter (4 times!).

    Any suggestions? Driver problem? Setting I missed somewhere? Motherboard problem?

    Hmmm. My first thought was the faulty FL inverter.
    Are you sure you used the right and compatible FL inverter? A connect it correctly?

    What about the keys FN + F6/F7? It allows to set the brightness to a higher level?

    Then maybe you should check for this possibility.

  • Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA - irritating noise of the fan

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA and need honestly the laptop more irritating I have ever owned.
    The problem is the cooling fan which tends to regularly turn up to maximum, sat there for a few seconds then turn down.

    Rather than simply successively increase to cool a little screaming for a second or two, then reduced speed. It can do like all the 15 seconds and is driving me crazy especially in a silent room. I am running Windows Vista and the latest version of the BIOS V4.4. I am ready to throw this thing on the door and never buy Toshiba again.

    But before I do that does anyone know a solution?

    Thank you

    I think the BIOS v4.4 requires a newer graphics NVIDIA driver.

    Install the latest graphics driver from the Toshiba site and see how it goes.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L670 - can I turn off the sound when the battery is empty?

    Hello

    Is it possible to disable the bios beep when the battery is empty or the laptop's Hibernate?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L670.

    Even when the sound in Windows is turned off the laptop do a annoying sound.

    Thank you!

    Maybe it sounds silly, but I put t understand why that should be disabled. When the battery reaches the critical battery level you will be informed about this and portable must be connected to the power running or you have to save your work and turn it off.

    Do you really want to work until the battery is completely discharged?

    Anyway, AFAIK this notification level BIOS cannot be disabled.
    Let's see if someone else is better informed than me.
