Tecra 8000 does not initialize to top

My Tecra 8000 will not initialize-to the top (previously worked fine).
1. the Red "TOSHIBA" icon comes up, then it just "grey screens" on me.
2. I can start up to the A: drive using a bootable floppy and I see the hard drive (C:\) and it seems OK.
3. I checked the settings of BIOS (ESC, F1), and they look OK.
4. I have Windows 2000 installed.

Any suggestions? Thanks, Neil

Hello

It seems that the laptop properly the Toshiba screen.
In this case, there should be no problem with hardware or BIOS.

Eventually switch you to the external display? I would recommend the connection of the external monitor to check if something pops up.
But if it doesn't help, so possibly damaged HARD drive could be responsible for this issue.

Have you tried to boot from the CD? You see something?

  • Tecra 8000 does not recognize the new HARD drive

    I read on this forum and Google search, but nothing helped.

    I think the disk on Tecra 8000 (Pentium II, 266 Mhz) is "dead".
    I tried to replace it with another laptop to see if that would work.

    The laptop does not, even if I put just like the original.
    Y at - it somehow special or what I have to change something in the Bios?

    Hello

    Don t need to change BIOS settings

    As long as you use the compatible HARD disk, the BIOS should recognize the HARD drive automatically without big problems
    What drive did you use? What size, interface, etc.

    The Tecra 8000 is an oldie and I think that you could use only the 4 GB; 6 GB; 9 GB; 10 GB; 14GB IDE hard drives.

    More large hard disks would be not recognized by the BIOS.

  • Tecra 8000 does not start after the BIOS update

    From one day to the other does not start my Tecra 8000 (400 MHz/256 MB BIOS 9.30 for years). After start-up, the disc starts to turn, but the screen including the backlight remains completely black, without red logo TOSHIBA BIOS is not accessible.

    I got a new mainboard on stock, so I replaced it, and it worked. Unfortunately now my WLAN card now did not work properly. I tried several settings of the BIOS with no results, so I decided to do an update of the BIOS from 7.50 to 9: 30. After the upgrade, I get the message "ROM WRITE successful, utility completed. LEADER BIOS: Tecra8000 v 9,30 ". Because what either kept silent, I pressed the power button to restart and heard a long and many short beeps (endless). I could interrupt what pressing the powerbutton for 5s.

    After turning on again I have the same problem as described in the first line :-( I can't get into the BIOS, but I can again update (with pressed F12). Once again these beeps.

    What to do with these beeps after average BIOS update? I replaced the MoBo connector LED with pension. Processor, memory, keyboard and HD has remained the same. So, before I start disassembling the machine, please notify, your help is very appreciated.

    Hello Joachim

    I'm not a technician and don t know what the beeps but I am afraid that the BIOS chip is damaged. Because of this, the unit is completely dead. Sorry, but I really don t believe you can do anything. Maybe the new motherboard again :(

  • Tecra 8000 does not recognizing PCMCIA

    Ive been using my XP loaded Tecra 8000 and connected to the internet via a wireless system using the USB port. It continues to lose signal, Ive just bought an Edimax Cardbus Fast Ethernet PC Card. It fits in the PCMCIA slot and gives me a RJ45 connection directly to the router. The problem is that I mounted the card in the Bay, but it was not recognized by XP. Should I change the bios for the PC to recognize this new material?
    Thank you very much
    Rob

    Hello

    I guess you need the driver.
    Have you installed all the drivers and got all the drivers with this card?

    So note to check this site for card manufacturers;

    You will find all drivers

  • Tecra 8000 does not start

    Recently, I gave my laptop for my girlfriend to take to the United States. He went for x-rays, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but since he refused to start. When it is plugged in, the power cord light is in constant, light on very occasionally flashes and the battery light is flashing (orange) as well.
    The others are dead. When I leave the battery, same behavior, except of course the battery light is not all burn (or what I need to do an extra step to start without the battery). With no net power, only the button flashes.

    Someone at - it an idea?

    Post edited by: Simon666

    Hello

    If the light blinks then it means that something is wrong with the hardware.
    In this case, you must contact the ASP in your country.
    It can read the flashing code can give you an answer detailed on the faults.

  • Tecra M2 does not start successfully - zeroes appear all over the screen

    Help!

    My Tecra M2 does not start. After the toshiba logo, a series of zeros (0) appear all over the screen.

    -suspect it is caused by a virus, I formatted the HD (in another PC), but still the zeros appear
    -I might want to start in the DVD player, it seems to read the disc, but nothing happens, just a cursor flashing at the top left of the screen
    -J' I reset / replaced the RAM, but still no effect.
    -the power button works, lights and shuts the laptop but does not start.
    -CPU fan works
    -LED indicators of work are power, battery, dvd, wireless. Does not have HD LED light on.

    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.
    See you soon!

    Hello

    I think we can exclude HARD disk failure because you are able to format it in another computer.
    As you suggest the RAM modules has been replaced but the problem persists
    So in my opinion, a motherboard problem would be possible

    But as you know, it of really difficult to say what might be exactly wrong
    I think that the technician should check the laptop then it would be possible to say what part is malfunctioning

    In any case, I think a motherboard might be affected

  • Why Tecra A3 does not start from CD/DVD?

    My laptop Tecra A3 does not react to the BIOS setting asking at the start of the CD/DVD.

    CD/DVD is the first place in the list of bootable devices (defined through F12 in boot sequence) the operating system starts with the HD. I have a chance to start with a bootable CD!

    The configuration is the following:

    Tip: TOSHIBA EAT10/EAT20
    BIOS: TOSHIBA V2.80 10/25/2006

    Any advice is welcome!

    Thanks in advance

    Have you tested with different CD bootable?
    Also try to start computer laptop using F12 and choose ODD as the first boot device.

    You can use ODD in Windows OS preinstalled?

  • Tecra 9100 does not supply power to the top

    Hello

    I got Tecra 9100 laptop computer and you have a POWER PROBLEM.
    Basically, it got stuck at the start of the OS and I was unable to click or move the mouse to do something. So I held the power button to turn it off. I do not turn on again entered game coz I had to go somewhere.

    So when I tried to move THE next day and he won't power upward. I can see a GREEN LIGHT but can not hear any CPU, the FAN, the monitor or the hard sound. When I connect to the AC adapter, I can see the LOAD LED but nothing else seems to be powered.

    I also tried to replace the memory Module, but still won't power upward. I guess that the motherboard does not have to be ABLE so nothing is turned. But the one thing that I do not understand why the POWER LED on (GREEN LED) is on, unless it has the power source.

    Can someone tell me what I need to do?
    Help, please

    Thank you

    Hi Sonia,.

    I suggest that you try to remove the battery and power supply so that all power of the laptop is turned off. Reconnect AC power and try to turn on the laptop. If it works, then re-install the battery. I think that the electronics of power sometimes get "stuck" and this procedure usually receives smooth them.

    If the unit still does not power on after having tried the above procedure, then I suuspect there must be a problem of internal material in which case you must take the device to a partner of Service authorized for rectification.

    Kind regards

  • Tecra M2 does not start - the power light AC blinking orange

    Someone at - it a list of codes for the Tecra M2 flash.
    My friend has a laptop that does not start at the top. the AC power LED flashes orange. a long, short, long, short, long, short, long, short.

    I checked the battery and reinstall the RAM.
    Any IDE?

    Hello

    I agree with go.
    The ASP would be able to tell what means error.

    Usually means short and 1 long: 0
    So the error must be: 1010 1010
    Due to the last significant bit (LSB), to be read by behind:
    So it now means: * 0101 0101 binary *-> it must be converted to hexadecimal-> * 55 Hex *.

    Then, you will get a hex code.
    But unfortunately, I m not very well which could mean this code

    So ask ASP for help!

  • Tecra A1 does not light: amber, blinking

    My Tecra A1 used power on. Instead I just get a flashing amber power light.

    I tried the things:
    1. remove the AC adapeter
    1. Pwr light still flashes: the computer does not turn on

    2. remove the battery and the AC adpter. Insertion of the battery and pressing the power button
    2. when I remove the battery flashing disappears, when the battery is replaced, the computer won't turn on

    3. remove the power cord and batttery: replace the battery put then the cord - hit the button / stop
    3A. right when I reinstall the power cord, the power button blinks orange. Start button / stop does nothing.

    Only, the light blinks (or does nothing for that mater) when the power cord is in.

    In advance, thank you for the help.

    Hello

    Try to start your Tecra without battery just connect to the power supply.

    It is possible that this is a problem with the battery. If the power supply microcontroller detects an error lamp DC IN sends a blink code. Reading this code it is possible to know what the problem is.

    If you think the battery is defect contact service partner.

  • Tecra A6 does not start with battery only

    Hi all
    I'm having a strange problem with a Tecra A6 I picked up recently at the refurb because it does not start with a battery only: it starts only when / sector is also connected, but eventually DΘmarrer on battery alone (and works fine) with the power cord removed shortly after pressing the power button. It's just on battery alone, I get no answer by pressing the power on button (so the power outlet must be set at this first stage or I don't get anything).

    Now I'm wondering if maybe it's the battery voltage? It seems that there are 2 options for this model, a 10.8 v and the other at 11.1V. With loaded Windows and Hardware Monitor reports running the battery is at 0% wear level and cool until completely (so I don't think that the battery is faulty), but it indicates that the battery is running at * 11, 1V, * but the battery installed is actually the * model 10.8v*. Could that prevent any power on only to batteries?

    More information on the model I have:
    Tecra A6-PTA60E-0EJ013EN
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0 Ghz
    2 GB of Ram.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this one. Essential, I would like to know is if I have a 11.1V battery to run this model correctly (and get it) on battery alone. If the voltage makes no difference so I guess it must be a weird motherboard problem and I need bother not buy a new battery.

    > Will have to buy another battery and see if the same thing happens (I'll know then if it is the motherboard), but in the meantime if anyone can let me know if the voltage is serious I would appreciate it.

    To my knowledge, the batteries for Tecra A6 should take in charge 10.8V
    There's piles more strong for example 5200mAh but the voltage must be the same 10.8

  • Tecra M2 does not start

    I'm new havoing problems with my Tecra M2. can someone point me in the right direction with regard to breakdowns, I had a glance on the forum and the threads associated with the Tecra range but cannot find all threads that match my problem.

    In a short time, less than three days, I had a problem that began with the laptp re start when it has been moved to now does not start at all. All the lights are what I expect of them with the exception of the HARD drive indicator, that does not illuminate at the start of the boot sequence. Does that mean that my HARD drive or the connection at the disk has failed, measures of observation of fault that I can follow to confirm or deny my fears would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    If the HARD drive is faulty, then you should not be able to start the operating system, but you should be able to see the BIOS splash screen.
    You see that? Are you abele to access the BIOS?
    Please check this!

    To access the BIOS ESC and F1 press immediately after the laptop has been powered! If this is not possible then there might be something wrong with the motherboard or any other piece of hardware like RAM.

    If you are able to access the BIOS, then you should check if the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS.
    You can also use the tool called Drive Fitness Test to verify the HARD drive!

  • Tecra S1 - does not boot, black screen

    When I turn on my Tecra S1, fan starts, dvd starts up but screen stays black and hd light does not illuminate. If I press F8 or F12, or sometimes even if I do not support what it is, I've heard three beeps. I disconnected the battery, HD and RAM, but it seems that the same thing.

    What can I do to detect and debug the problem? Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    I found and interesting article on the Web from Toshiba site:
    [What steps must be followed if your Toshiba laptop does not start? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=21]

    Overall this beep code means that a hardware malfunction has been detected. An ASP in your country can tell you what the problem is.

  • Tecra 9100 does not start in windows-black display

    Hi, just found this forum.
    I have problems with my old laptop Tecra 9100 that ive had since.
    I stopped last night, started this morning and now is no longer boots.
    It gets past the Toshiba screen and windows xp scroll bar screen seems in good condition.

    But then the screen turns black and does not go to the XP login screen.
    But windows does not work because if I press on enter newspapers in my profile (I hear the theme music for connection etc, and the HARD drive light is on, connect to windows...) It's just that I have no display at all?

    I also tried an external monitor, always the same, Windows XP, scroll screen still appears, but nothing else appears on the display.

    Any ideas? Hardware failure? (But the toshiba screen and 1 XP appears)? , Because the OS (even thought I can connect, although "blind")?

    Thank you

    It's strange... I put t think that there is a hardware problem because you can see the Toshiba start screen and like you say the Windows starts.

    My first thought was that your display is set to external monitor
    Looks like you have tested and nothing appears on the second screen?  :|
    Which is really strange.

    In any case after the laptop started try to use the key combination FN + F5 to switch to another screen, maybe it helps.

    You can also try booting in safe mode. Press the F8 key at the beginning.
    Then choose Safe mode.

  • Tecra 8100 does not start.

    Hello. I have this Tecra 8100 I think sell for parts, because I am crazy about her. But before that, I ask you here as a last.

    It seems the section "power" of the laptop works very well: if I plug the power, the 'dc in' and 'battery' LED will light, and the "battery" led even go from orange to green when the battery is charged.

    If I press the button "power on", "power" lights up. The hard disk starts to spin. The fan does nothing, and no "beep" is heard at all. In addition, the screen does not display anything. External VGA output or output TV shows nothing, too. I repeat, that no. a BEEP is heard, until...

    I close the lid. A long beep is heard when I close the lid, but no trace of the image on the screen.

    I have changed or upgraded nothing notebook: memory, CPU, etc.

    I opened and took every piece of it: internal battery, motherboard, sound card, leds and buttons edge... and I tried to connect our case so t may be a short circuit with no luck at all.

    What is a BIOS problem?

    The BIOS can be reflashed in this State, as the AWARD BIOS?

    Are there keys or buttons I could press to enter a kind of mode to diagnose or service?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The Tecra 8100 doesn t supports no internal memory. Two memory slots are available, and it depends on the unit memory has been installed.
    Always is it that you can improve it to max 512 MB (2 x 256 MB)

    Now to you deliver; It sounds like a hardware problem, but no one could be able to provide a diagnosis exactly what we can do is speculate on the fault.
    I think that it s a motherboard problem

    See you soon
