Satellite Pro S300 - screen is blank and can not restart

A week ago, I left my Satellite Pro S300-EZ2502 at night (as usual). It was fine tonight.

The next day, I got a black screen and a flashing light orange on the left side. I tried to turn it off, don't restart, no dice. I tried removing the battery and restart under just current alternative, nothing, I tried the opposite. Nothing. I tried to let the battery and then recharge. No help. Very rarely when I plug it in again, I will get the green light for a few seconds, but then again the yellow flashing light. Nothing EVER on the screen.

I've only had this laptop since MAY! What's wrong!!

Have you installed extra RAM in the system?

Try to remove one of the Modules or swap them around.

Otherwise, it may be a motherboard problem. An FSL can repair it for you - free if its under warranty.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - recovery utility hangs and does not complete

    Hello.

    I've been running my L20 Pro Satellite for two years now, quite happy. Unfortunately, in the last 3 months, he began to misbehave. The startup time stretched to 5-10 minutes by that I mean time spent in "black" screen between the initials XP boot logo and the bright blue splash screen Windows. Playing sound/media crackled and stuttered badly through the loudspeaker. So, being reasonable technical, I've read various articles forum tried MSCONFIG tweaks here and there, removed all viruses etc... Nothing helps.

    I began to suspect a HARD drive problem. CHKDSK has not shown any errors. I finally resolved to back up my data and attempt a complete recovery. (Virgin!)

    Unfortunately, this is going to plan. medium 90% up to the end of the NVA Toshiba Recovery Utility 1.0.1.0 I think, started making subtle beeps and stopped on the 'X:\03596002 '. File of the GHS. The Green HARD-drive activity light has renounced his reassuring twinkling. Nothing.

    Any suggestions tips out there? I am currently in the State where he can not start (no NTLDR found).

  • Satellite Pro M70 - screen is blank

    Hey guys,.

    Have had my Satellite Pro M70 for more than a year now and never gave me any problems before. On about 3 times now, the screen disappeared all of a sudden completely gray and white and stays that way, unless I restart and is so very well.

    Appears to be spontaneous, can't everyday and not even aware if his reason leaving for a long time.

    Ive noticed that more than half of the screen flashes from time to time but don't know if it's because it's on during a long period or heat related but only started to do this recently.

    It just seems to be a problem with the monitor, like running programs under were unaffected (IE if I was running MSN messenger and the screen went gray, I could still type messages, etc just not see them!).

    Have the latest graphics driver for my Intel knowledge: 6.14.10.4363, don't know if it could be a problem with the card? Hepatitis a lot of free hard disk space, seeking to increase the ram (currently 512) suggestions?

    Hello

    I am very happy that I don't have these problems on my Satellite M70. I recommend you test your laptop connected to an external display to see if the symptoms are the same. If so, I fear that there is a problem with the graphics card.

    On the RAM, can I just say that your laptop can handle with max 2 GB RAM and compatible RAM modules are:
    512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
    1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G)

  • Satellite Pro S300-12O - Sound Forge 8 does not

    Hi guys out there, I hope someone here can give me some advice.

    First of all, I have a laptop Toshiba S300-12O bought in January. I downgraded to XP Pro via upgrade disk lower.
    I had zero problems until recently when I installed Sony Sound Forge 8 on the machine. I tried to burn an audio CD using SF8 and the machine hung, SF8 answers do not. Nothing worked at all and I had to manually turn off the machine. Had another crack at it and she said then there was a serious error and the PC have closed, etc..
    Sent the error report to Microsoft when the machine has restarted and said that he had recovered from a serious error, etc.

    This could be a driver problem? I had a quick glance but can not find the drivers out there apart from the one which allows you to play DVDs on the laptop.

    The optical drive is TEAC DW-W28-RT multi layer. I can open the drive to SF8, not tried burning mp3 mp3 files or anything yet.

    I have not tried burning a disc audio using any other utility still or actually burned anything on any software. SF8 is my overwhelming favorite and I would use it as I do a few edition of music etc and this is my software of choice. Any advice greatly appreciated guys.

    Hello!

    To be honest, this program is not for me, but in my opinion, you should look for an update on the site of the factory.
    Check if the program is compatible with Windows XP.

    Last but not least, you should check if you have the same problem with another program. I think that it is a question of the program that you are using.

  • New on Satellite Pro 6100 WLAN card installed, but can not be activated

    Hi, just replaced the internal Wireless LAN card on my laptop Satellite Pro 6100. Map of yesterday and today have the same problem: I can't turn them on. They are installed properly and supposed to run in what concerns the XP drivers, but does not detect wireless network andy saying it is "disabled".

    I tried upgrading to the latest version of BIOS
    I reinstalled the latest drivers
    Toshiba network device switch sees only the Intel Pro/100 VE wired, network card, but not the card the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG.
    Direct activation of the Wireles does not produce a said connection disable, enable, trying to connect, but it fails, as if he did not see the network.

    Past and present, wireless card fail to see any network.

    Martin

    Hello Martin

    This model of laptop is quite old and at that time 2200 card was not on the market. I can imagine that there is a compatibility issue.

    I think for older models of laptops, the best solution is the use of a faster but external solution in the form of PCMCIA or USB WLAN card. With the help of these cards you will not have compatibility issues.
    What do you think of this?

  • Satellite Pro P100 - screen is blank

    Computer seems to be on, but the laptop screen remains empty.

    OK so for the moment, the power light is on and HD and the rear fan is not on and when I press the power button, the HD and the rear fan turns on and then the power light just flashes but nothing is on the screen and the lights (capslock/numlock etc.) keyboard flash not as they would on a start upward. Which leads to presume that the laptop is in hibernation or something, but it should come out of hibernation (if that were the case) on a press on the power button, but nothing happens when I do that.

    also connected an external monitor to the back of the laptop, nothing on the screen as well.

    any ideas?

    Hello

    HM, it could be a problem of motherboard or something else. I doubt that it s an inside problem appears because tested an external display and here you can see the same problem.

    What you can do is the following workaround: remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour. Reconnect the adapter AC/DC and battery. Now, you can try to restart the laptop.

    If it doesn t work I would ask for a portable computer technician of an authorized service provider. Maybe it s a hardware malfunction and the ASP can test your laptop.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A100 screen goes blank for two seconds

    Since I got my machine in June, it has obscured the screen for a few seconds every now and then - probably once or twice a day.

    Is this serious and likely to get worse - should I send it until the warranty runs out?

    It might have something to do with Flashcards. I don't know what it is, but whenever I start, he refuses to quit smoking.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Hello

    > Is it serious and likely to get worse - should I send it until the warranty runs out
    I think that it s not easy to say if it could be a serious hardware problem or just a driver issue.

    I have a few questions;
    First of all; have you checked whether a BIOS update or update the graphics driver was help? For the most part, these updates do wonders ;)

    How about new installation OS since the recovery CD? Have you checked if the same problem appears on the new OS installed since the recovery CD?

    I think that this should be checked first.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - has stopped working and will not start

    Nothing happening, no spark of life, even if it is plugged to the mains. I have ALL of my info stored on it, including their e-mail addresses...

    (1) is it the battery?

    (2) it is likely that it might be corrected?

    (3) if irreparable, can data be transferred from a laptop dead to another PC or Mac Book of my partner?

    Thank you very much for taking the time to read and thanks I advance for any help, you can be so good as to provide...

    Toni

    Hello!

    Normally, if the boot of t computer doesn't and you can see anything on the screen it s a hardware malfunction, maybe the motherboard needs to be replaced.

    But in your case, I'll try this:
    Remove the AC adapter and the battery. Wait one hour, then reconnect the two devices. Try to start the laptop.

    If it doesn't work, you need to contact a service provider for help. They can check the laptop and determine the cause of this problem.

    And your data, you can easily without danger on the other computer. Just put the HARD drive in the external HARD drive enclosure. You can then connect the HARD drive to another laptop to backup data.
    But normally all data should be backed up already! ;)

  • Satellite C660D - 181 Power Cord issues and can not read CD or DVD

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660D-181 and my power cord has had problems with the connection. I plugged it in and the light on the left indicating it is plugged in and charged off and my cell phone begins to lose his load.

    I must escape around and try to get it just in the right position to show him it is plugged. I have it plugged into an extension of the Strip which is connected to the main outlet (and the only outlet) in the room.

    I use it exclusively in the living room so I'm close to the telephone and TV, so move it to another room will not be the answer. I'm afraid that the repair costs would be too high and the purchase of a new laptop computer is out of the question for now.

    Another question, I'll have, it's that I can't read a CD or a DVD. I have Windows Media Player and Apple Quick time Player. I chose to play the media instantly, but it still does not work. I installed cc registry cleaner to see if it was a registry problem, but no joy there. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit.

    The most important issue to address at the moment is the power supply cord. I appreciate your help. Please, profane as computer jargon escapes me.

    > I worry that repair costs would be too high and the purchase of a new laptop computer is out of the question for now
    What is this option? You want to fix it yourself?
    Don t think that it s a real option since you would need good parts, hand tools, maintenance and find out how to fix it.

    Since you and I don t know exactly the cost of repair, I would recommend first asking how this fix could be I mean, you can request a service in your country for a price and could decide if its worth for you

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300D - relocation after Vista, I can not scrolling on the touchpad

    I could scroll with my touchpad moving my finger from right above on the right down on the touch pad, on the first installation of Vista on my A300D-161
    Now, I reinstalled Vista and I installed the utility, but it is not an option for scrolling.

    How / what now?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Do you have what utility installed?

    You must install the driver for the touchpad on the Toshiba site. After that, go to control panel > mouse > Device Settings > settings. Here, you can enable virtual scrolling.

    Where is the difference between Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 64 edition? In my opinion it of the same

    In any case, best recommendation of OS is version preinstalled Windows in my opinion, because he configured Toshiba s with all the drivers and tools you need. No additional installation is necessary and your laptop is ready for use.

    Generally for the FN keys you need Toshiba value added from Toshiba Web site package.
