Tecra A4 is unbootable

Hi people

I have a tecra A4 and began to experience problems starting after a stop. the laptop takes 15 minutes to allow me to restart it if I started right after that I stopped him. When I press the button to start it would take 2-3 seconds then stop just with the hard drive, did a bit of "thud", as he has done.

I ran a recovery disc that comes of screw them it all up, it just wouldn't start at all after that! (just kept shut down after 2-3 seconds). then I went out and bought a new HD. I put the hard drive and started to install windows again. He got the part to place the files in the installation directory. I think it got to 100% but then cut again. now he used to start running again! For this, the second of 2-3 thing :-( The difference is that it is not the "thud" more. just somewhere quiet stop as well as his losing power somehow before accessing the hard drive

Any idea what the problem is here?

See you soon

Hello

It's really not easy to say what the problem is here. My first thought was overheating. Tecra A4 is pretty old model of laptop and is perhaps stops down due to overheating.

You can enter the BIOS settings? If Yes, please enter the BIOS settings and let. Please let me know if the laptop turns off again.

  • Tecra Z40 - A - 16 c - indicator battery life problem

    Hello

    As from 2015, I own a Toshiba Tecra Z40 - A - 16 c.

    I noticed a strange behavior regarding the battery life indicator. When the laptop is fully charged, the indicator shows 100% remaining. And when I use the laptop, the percentage drops slowly, as expected.
    However, as soon as somewhere around 50%, the indicator is suddenly decreases and says he has only 5 or 4% left and I should switch it on immediately.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Kind regards
    Oliver

    The battery may need calibration. Load and unload completely several times.

    If it happens again, the battery needs replacing. You can check the level of wear using HWMonitor from cpuid.com.

  • Tecra Z50A11R ID no no i-phone or i - pad

    After trying everything to solve this problem, maybe someone on the Forum Toshiba can help

    My Tecra Z50-A-11-R does not identify the i-phone or i - pad. I get a message that he noticed that an i-phone has been connected, but that may not be correctly identified.
    I tried different devices but keep getting the same message. When the devices to connect to other computers, they are identified. So the question must be with the laptop.
    Has anyone else experienced the same thing and found a solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    It works in one of the other USB ports?
    Maybe it will work better in the black USB2 port.

  • Tecra Z50-A-180 does not start using the new SSD OCZ Vertex 460

    Hello

    I bought an SSD OCZ Vertex 460 for Tecra Z50-A-180 but the system only started only not with this device.

    BIOS detect SSD but not find any system start-up.

    I cloned the old SSD HARD drive, but the system does not boot with SSD.

    I installed the firmware 1.03 on OCZ.

    I await response.

    What program did you use to clone?
    Maybe it's not compatible with the version of Windows.

    If you load a new copy of Windows or Ubuntu on the SSD can it start?

  • Tecra Z40 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello

    I bought the Z40 with a 500 GB HARD drive. As a replacement, I bought the next SSD:

    Crucial CT512MX100SSD1 - 500 GB

    Unfortunately I don't have to work. On the BIOS, I see that the system recognizes the ssd. But the boots of system restore, or windows 8.1 detail installs. Are there any known compatibility issues?

    Problems persist if the bios setting is UEFI oder CSM.

    I have upgraded to the latest version of the bios to 3.7, but that did not change the result.

    If the BIOS recognizes the new SSD drive, the drive must be visible to the system.
    May I ask how did you try to install the OS Windows 8.1?
    Have what media you used?

    The Z40 Tecra can't internal ODD (optical disc). This is why I m wondering about the installation procedure

  • Tecra A10 does'nt recognize 2nd HARD drive in the Bay of the STRANGE

    Hello

    My TECRA A10 - 1 HG PTSB1E does'nt recognize my second HDD that has taken the place of the cd-rom.
    I use a SATA caddy and the boot of the A10 with a CD-rom error!
    is it not possible to use a shopping cart with a TECRA A10?
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you for your experience of return.
    Best regards

    Hello

    I guess that the Tecra A10 does not support these updates.
    The 2nd SATA controller does not seem to support the additional HDD instead of ODD.

    But I've read a few things to get such2nd as recognized HARD drive.
    You must start the laptop without the HARD drive caddy in ODD Bay.
    After that the Windows system has started, you can plug/connect the HARD drive caddy and system PnP service should recognize the new device.

    I think this isn't the best solution, but it seems like it s the only way to get this HDD caddy recognized in the Bay of the STRANGE

  • Tecra A9 - protected password HDD data recovery

    Hello

    My old Tecra A9 is dead, it does not supply power even on the splash screen more.

    Bad news is that my HARD drive is password protected, and it has some interesting data that I need to recover (from my last backup). I know that the HARD drive password because I walked whenever I started my Tecra.

    I removed the HARD drive and mounted in a USB enclosure to try to recover the data from another PC.
    But the drive is not detected by Windows, which is to be expected, I guess, because it is password protected.

    Yes, because I know the HARD drive password, is there a utility software available that will allow me to recover my data?

    If not, what other options may be available?
    I thought to buy an old Tecra A9 on eBay or elsewhere and inserting the HARD drive in it, but I don't know if it would work (I don't know if the password is related to the specific computer laptop serial number or something else).

    Any information would be appreciated
    Tim

    I guess you could put the HARD drive in a laptop (any Toshiba or any brand?) and remove the password in the configuration of the BIOS.

  • Tecra A9 - after CPU fan upgrade works constantly at full power

    Hi all

    I have 3 Tecra A9 notebook that came with a Core2Duo T7100 clocked at 1.8 Ghz with 2 MB of Cache. Updated every 3 to a T7700 clocked at 2.4 Ghz with 4 MB of Cache. According to Intel, these two processors TDP is 35W. Books don't get really hot and not hot. The CPU FAN starts right full power after the display of the BIOS with the Toshiba Logo screen. Under Bios Version 2.1 on all 3 systems, having the same behavior on all 3 systems. CPU properly recognized under Windows XP, Win7, and Win10. Is it possible to get the adjusted to normal CPU fan? The system isn t is hotter than upgrading the CPU, just for some reason any BIOS has now decided the fan must operate at full power. I even traded one of the CPU Fans with that of a Tecra A10 notebook but had the same effect as with the original fan. Having no idea what I could do. I hope for your help!

    Best regards
    Bornchiller

    I think that needs calibration to be performed to configure the table of fan speed.
    Toshiba Service Center to do this.
