• Re: Satellite Pro U400 - Windows could not start, how to recover?

  I hope this is the right forum to display this property (if not, please let me know where I should post this) and nude w / a beginner like me. Any help or direction will be appreciated.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-160 is more than a year. I have not used a lot lately, because I usually use my netbook computer for day to day stuff, but the Toshiba contains some files I want to see lost. That's the message that came when I turned on my laptop for the last time:

  "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
  To solve the problem:
  1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
  2. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  3. click on "repair your computer".

  If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance

  File: \Boot\BCD
  Status: 0xc000000f
  Info: An error occurred trying to read the boot configuration data. "

  Usually, I store all my software as a whole but I recently changed from home and for the life of me, I can't find the Toshiba recovery system disk. Even if I did, however, which would mean losing all files on my computer?
  My question is, is there a way to fix this without losing all data? Should I first try to save the data somehow and then solve the problem? And finally, how to solve this problem with/without the recovery CD?

  Thanks in advance. Any help will be MUCH appreciated.
  PS. This look is like a virus? What is a windows update that has corrupted some files?

  Hi monstarika,

  You can access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and boot into safe mode?
  If so try also to start the recovery of HARD drive if you choose fix my computer. If the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba is still installed, you can use this feature.

  If this work of t doesn't and you don t have the recovery disc, you can order directly in an enw one of Toshiba. That s no problem because you can order it online here:

• 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 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?

• 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 L300-1FN 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!

• Satellite Pro L300-21F does not start and the screen remains blank

  L300-21F is aged 18 months, so out of warranty. When you press the power button, you can hear the fan and a "click" but the hard drive does not start and the screen remains blank. The power and the battery on the headlight LEDs, but the switch light does not work. I checked the power supply and it is 19.3V and substituted a good known. Removed the battery, tried with just the power cord and still nothing. Pressing ESC or F2 when you press the button power does not bring to the top of the screen of the bios or any other message. I have concluded there is no power the jury. A friend he had its technology take a look and he concluded Council is probably a friend.

  So my questions are:
  1. He's probably right?
  2. is it a common problem with an easy solution?
  3. what else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?
  4. is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?

  Any help appreciated

  Hello

  > 1. He's probably right?

  Yes, it looks like motherboard failure

  > 2. Is this a common problem with an easy solution?

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

  > 3. What else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?

  I don't think you can do anything with fried mobo

  > 4. Is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?

  Take a look at the site called irisvista.com

• Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E does not start after upgrading BIOS XP

  Hi, I need help!

  computer laptop, tested just got everything ok with Vista business and everything works fine.
  Now, I have a requirement to test a laptop duel boot XP build and follow the attached instructions to change the BIOS so that I can install XP.

  Restarted the laptop with the bios disk selected bios XP and everything seems ok.
  The phone rings, I answer. When I finished, I think back to the laptop and screen is white.
  Leave it for 20 minutes still white. Stop the laptop and reboot, no tosh start screen, nothing.

  Now does not start, so what do I do to get this thing working again?

  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.)

  I hope that the ROM module must be flashed again.

  This can be done only by an authorized service provider.
  I see no other solution for contact ASP in your country and ask for help and handling.

  Good luck and best regards

• 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.

• Satellite Pro M10 PS630E does not start after upgrading CPU

  I tried to install a new processor for my Toshiba Satellite Pro M10-PS630E.
  He initially has a 1500, I tried to put a 1766.

  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!

• Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) does not start after upgrading RAM

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me here, I recently bought a Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) and decided to upgrade the RAM. I bought a stick of 512 MB of curries with the following specifications: DDR PC2700 200-pin 333 Mhz SODIMM (64 x 64).

  However, the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this, but after you insert the RAM into the available slot, the computer laptop wouldn't boot, and instead, I had the flashing sequence on the LED from 2,3,3.

  I was told it might be a problem matching, then tried to remove the original RAM and booting with just the new stick, still the same error. I tried it in the slots and still no joy. It starts very well with the original 256 MB of RAM, but refuses to take the new RAM.

  Are there any known issues? Can anyone suggest something that I can do wrong? I followed the usual steps of upgrade to remove all power cables and the battery before the upgrade, but still no joy.

  Hoping that someone is able to help!

  Hi James

  You simply have bad memory modules and is not a compatible uses.

  > the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this,

  This should not happen! The right modules can be inserted without any problem of alignment!
  Handling can damage the module!

  In my opinion, you should use another and supported the RAM module.

  To my knowledge, you can use the PA3512U-1M1G (DDR2-667 1 GB Memory Kit) or (PA3411U-2M1G) DDR2-533 1 GB
  The two should be compatible.

• 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 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!
