• Tecra M4 - does not start, no image on the monitor

  My Tecra M4 will not start.
  When I turn it on, all I hear is a quick check of the DVD player, a hum of hard drive and fan.

  I tried an external monitor and still see nothing.
  I also changed the ram, tried to start with disconnected HARD drive disconnected RTC battery for a while.

  I don't see anything on the screen at any time.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi TheXenon,

  In your case, I'll try this:
  Remove the battery and the AC adapter at least an hour. Then reconnect the two and try to restart your laptop.

  But at the moment for me that sounds like a hardware malfunction and you need help from a service allowed in your country. :(

• 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

• Tecra M2 - will not start, the power light is on

  Hi, I wonder if someone out there could help me with a problem?

  I was using my M2 Friday when my friend accidentally hit a very small amount of beverage on the front of my M2, I immediately got up and got a hair dryer on it.

  After leaving it an hour I tried to use and everything worked as before which was a great relief, but a day later, I used the M2 to check my e-mail address when all of a sudden went.

  The power led is on was still and so was the light that indicates I have a CD player, I tried several times and it wouldn't start, so I went again for a day and yesteday morning it seemed that it was starting up only to freeze on the Windows screen, he then returned and he has not started since.

  Could you please give me some advice on what I could do to fix this?

  Kind regards

  Russ

  Hello Russ

  Be realistic. What you can do in this situation? Not much! You can try to start the machine. See if you can get into the BIOS and if yes how long the device will remain on. If unit is running for an extended period, you can try to boot from the CD (for example with the recovery media).

  You can try to connect as another external HARD drive to another laptop and try to back up all your important data and reinstall the OS. More than that is not possible. If there is an electronic failure, it is not easy to fix on your own and support technical investigation just to see what hardware is damaged.

• When I installed Vista SP 1, Windows wouldn't start. Windows can function very well without any SP upgrades?

  Windows wouldn't start after a Vista SP 1 upgrade. I have successfully restored the pc to a point before SP1 was installed, and now Windows works fine. Vista may work ok without MS updates. If not, should I try to reinstall the MS any advice would be greatly appreciated. C

  You can view your web site of PC makers of the available driver updates.

  It would be unwise to run a PC connected to the internet has not been updated with the latest MS updates and

• Tecra M10 - does not start only beeps

  My Tecra won't start. It sounds right. I checked the RAM and battery. I removed the keyboard, but without success.

  What is going on?

  Concerning

  Hello!

  Normally beep code at startup means that it s something wrong with the hardware (hardware malfunction).

  To identify what is the cause, you can search with Google. There are a few websites that shows what the beep code (depending on the BIOS you have).

  It could be the RAM, CPU, graphics card or something on the motherboard.

  But if your laptop is under warranty, you can contact an ASP. The repair should be free. ;)

  Good bye

• Tecra M9 - does not start after memory upgrade from 1 GB to 3 GB

  I am trying to upgrade my M9 memory with little success. I bought a 2 GB module which is the same existing brand and spec to the 1 GB module, but the PC will not start no matter what options I try. So far I have tried:

  * Addition of 2 GB for the accommodation of extension from below (3 GB total)
  * Withdrawal of module 1 GB under the keyboard and its replacement by the 2 GB module

  None of these options work. The PC gives no beeps or indications that there is a problem, the led lights on the way to the top, the drive led flashes and then it goes into a wait state. Nothing happens.

  For the record, I bought initially upgraded memory that wasn't an exact match and I am now on my 3rd module suspecting a memory compatibility to be the issue. This current 2 GB module seems to fully match the 1 GB as well as being twice the size. It is:

  HYNIX 2GB 2Rx8 PC2 - 5300 s-555-12

  I am running Windows XP SP3

  The TECRA is a PTM91A Intel Duo T700 CPU 1.80 GHz

  Any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  To me it sounds like the new memory module is not functional or not compatible with the laptop. Otherwise the cell would start without any problem.

  If you bought the memory module in a store, you have to take it back and ask for a replacement.

  I n t have experience with Hynix memory modules. For the upgrade of my laptop, I used Kingston memory and it worked without any problem

• No sound on Tecra S5, "THotkey" error starting Windows XP Home edition

  I have a laptop Tecra S5, I deleted some old programs for card readers.
  Now, sound does not work and starting the PC, windows starts and I get the message: "Error THotkey" this audio diviece is not supported.

  Is it just the audio driver what is missing and how can I reinstall it?

  Who knows, what did you do with stuff pre-installed. THotkey has nothing to do with the old programs for card readers, but it is very important tool of Toshiba.

  Did do us all first to know what is the status of the sound card in Device Manager. Sound card installed and registered correctly?

• 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 A4 won't start no-switches power off after 3 seconds

  Hey all,.

  I really hope you can help me on this. I recently bought a step expensive laptop Toshiba Tecra A4 to Ebay. He said there is a disk failure hard only... it's not.

  When I try to turn on the laptop, the lights come on and the DVD player starts to turn... everything is normal. But then after about 3 seconds it stops before that it can reach the bootscreen - as I would remove the power cable.
  The very strange thing is that sometimes we'll tell every 1 15 try the laptop starts as it should be and start my Linux live CD. Then I can work for hours, and bad don't get passes nothing... until I want to turn it back on. Then the game starts from the beginning.

  I tried already to:

  -Remove the hard drive from default
  -remove the power cable
  -only remove the battery
  -replace the RAM or be one of the two
  -to remove the two RAM
  -remove the power cable and the battery during the night to reset the CMOS

  ... nothing has changed.

  I would be very happy if someone could help me. So far, I have found that the writings of forum without response to this problem in the WWW - if at least I'm not the only crazy :-)

  Thank you very much

  Hans

  My friend had the similar problem, but a replacement RAM helped.
  In your case, it might be everything. (motherboard, etc.)

  The BIOS can be updated from windows OS since only based victory of BIOS is available for download The ASP (partner) would update the BIOS but to be honest, I doubt it s a BIOS related issue to me it sounds like a hardware problem

• 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 S5 does not start on new battery

  Hello
  I recently bought a new battery for my Tecra (the original one has been able to the laptop for less than 10 minutes).
  When I put the new battery (which is fully charged) in my laptop and try to feed upward, the system hangs with a black screen
  and the text cursor blinking "_" in the upper left corner, before windows xp starts.
  It happens with or without AC adapter plugged.
  If I replace the new battery with the old, or remove and boot on power AC/DC, the system starts properly.
  If I boot on current alternative and insert the new battery and unplug the power, I can work until the next boot - so it seems that
  the new battery is OK.
  the new battery is not true toshiba but WhiteEnergy. I used the mark with my previous satellite and worked well.
  Do you have anny suggestions or to change settings?
  The symptoms are quite weired to me.

  > Symptoms are quite weired to me.
  For me, too. Settings to change? I put t really know what kind of settings can improve this.
  When you start your laptop on battery only, you can enter the BIOS settings?
  Have you tried to set on the default settings and check if something will change?

• Tecra S3 does not start when the multimedia center of Toshiba is connected

  Whenever I (re) start my Tecra S3 with the powered gigastore on (which is connected to the Media Center which is connected again to my dock via USB), my laptop only shows me the "toshiba" screen and doe not continues the start unless I turned off the gigastore and restart the laptop.

  What can I do?

  The same thing happened on my laptop while my external USB printer is connected to the computer. It has something to do with the BIOS.
  Hmmm, you can try to change the boot order in the BISO. Probably, it helps.

  I was an unlucky boy because the change of the boot order has not improved the situation. I had to unplug the printer or turn off the printer during the start-up procedure.

• Tecra S1 does not start-> beep code appears

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Tecra S1.
  It won't start, just beep like this:
  -Two shorts and a long
  -So, three short films and and etc.

  I can't find out what BIOS and the significance of these beeps.

  Can someone help me?
  Thank you
  Duditz

  As far as I know, it's an Insyde BIOS on the Tecra S1.
  But I thought you wanted to contact the Toshiba service provider?
  Believe me, the BIOS beep code can be read by a technician with a lot more experience as a common user.
  Eventually, you'll be able to read but you don t know what the code means.
  The meaning of the code differs from BIOS and laptop model
  I don t see other than by contacting the guys services
