Hi
Please try to boot the OS in the safe mode. If the OS start to boot you have use the F8 button to start the safe mode. That should be possible to change the display mode.
Please post again if the procedure was successful.

  • Satellite 3000-X11: Four beeps at start-up, blank screen

    Hi folks,
    A friend has given me a laptop to try and fix. It's a Toshiba Satellite 3000-X11.
    Sometimes it works fine. Starts up like normal.
    Sometimes, fairly randomly, it will not start. In this instance nothing will come up on the screen at powerup. The fan will kick in. The screen is black and there are four beeps. About 1 per second. It then sits there. On, but half dead. Can hear fan from time to time.
    I've read messages on the net that suggest this is a hardware failure of some kind. What I'd like to know is if there is any easy way to know what hardware has failed. Nearly all the messages I read talked about three beeps. This is four.
    Makes no diff if I am running it from AC or battery.
    I have no idea what makes it start working again.
    I suspect (just a suspicion) that it tends to stop working after it has been moved around (i.e. picked up and moved to another desk etc.).
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Also, is there a Toshiba diagnostic tool I can download and run that will test the machine out?
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    Coincidentally, I had a similar problem last night on my old S3000 laptop. I popped out a PCMCIA card while the laptop was powered up and it just hung. I rebooted it, and I got a few series of beeps and nothing else.
    After a lot of swearing. I thought I remembered something about holding down keys at power up on laptops to get them working. I powered down, pressed and held the "esc" key, then powered up. The laptop recovered, displaying a "safe boot" mode. I selected "boot from hard disk" and it seems to have been fine since...
    Hopefully that might help.

  • Satellite 3000-514: Need FL inverter part number

    Hi,
    I am looking for an inverter for my toshiba satellite 3000-514, because my display is almost dark. Does anybody know where I can buy/order it or what the product number is?
    Thx
    arne

    Hi
    Well, a friend of mine has ordered some parts from the Toshiba service partner.
    I assume you can also order the FL inverter from the ASP in you country.
    As far as I can remember the FL inverter is not very expensive. But do you know how to change it?? Do you have enough experience to replace it??
    I think its a very risky procedure because the whole screen must be removed. And you know; the screen is a one of the most expensive parts on the notebook.
    I think if you dont be any technician so ask someone who has more experience in such reparation procedures. The best way is to ask the service guys.

  • Can not remove BIOS password on Satellite 3000-504

    Hi,
    I cleared BIOS password in Toshiba Satellite 3000-504 to upgrade BIOS on this computer. So I entered BIOS > entered old password > enterd twice new blank password (2 x enter) and after this I reset computer.
    After restart computer again asked me to provide password, but the old password and blank password wasn't correct. And now I can't enter BIOS and start computer.
    Any suggestions what was happened and what can I do right now?
    Regards
    Lukasz

    I dont know what was happen but one is sure: you have big problem now. Please contact authorized service in your country and let them remove BIOS password. It will cost you but unfortunately you do not have other choice.

  • BIOS updating issue on Satellite 3000 -X11

    Hello,
    I found a lot of people complaining of this same issue.
    I found no solution posted. Most threads (now locked) ended with people saying "Don't update your bios if it is running okay"
    This computer is not running okay and I would like to update the BIOS.
    The issue is that the bios update says it failed due to the update not being for this model of computer.
    The laptop is a Satellite 3000-X11. I have downloaded the v1.6 BIOS update for the Satellite 3000-X11
    So I am not sure why it makes this complaint.
    Please advise if there is something more I can do here.
    Also please know the BIOS update procedure I followed was exactly per the instructions.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    (sorry about the name change. Somehow ended up with two profiles when I accessed the forums via a different country site)
    As per my original post... the computer does NOT run okay.
    That is why I wish to try updating the BIOS.
    It has issues with it not starting or starting but with a screen that is so dimmed it looks blank. Looking really hard at it I can see it is not blank, just VERY VERY dim.
    I wish to update the BIOS just in case that fixes things.
    The BIOS update complains that the PC is not the right model for this update, when it is the right model.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

  • Where can I purchase a Satellite 3000-514 motherboard?

    I need to replace the system board (?), motherboard (?) on my Toshiba Satellite S3000-514.
    Question: Where can I go to purchase the motherboard?
    Question 2: How much in sterling can I expect to pay?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I found this website with the motherboard for a Satellite 3000 series but it seems that the Satellite 3000-514 is not listed.
    http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Toshiba,Laptop,Part,K000816560.aspx
    Im not 100% sure but I think the 3000 series was delivered with the same motherboard.
    But before buying anything you should ask the Toshiba authorized service partner for a details. The guys should be able to order also a compatible board directly from the Toshiba.
    I think you are on the safe side if you ask the service provider for the opinion.
    But as you can see the motherboard is expensive and possibly you could find a second hand board.

  • E71x blank display, backlight keeps blinking on an...

    I've had my E71x for a week and have not had any problems until now.  While trying to power the phone on, all I get is a blank display and then the backlight just blinks on and off. 
    The battery was fully charged when I turned the phone off.  I've tried removing the battery and putting it back in.  I've also tried the reset by holding the green call button and 3*.  Nothing has worked. 
    Thanks in advance

    " I've also tried the reset by holding the green call button and 3*. Nothing has worked."
    You can try this key combination once more just to be sure.

  • Satellite 3000 x11 cannot use its network card

    On my friend's satellite 3000 x11 I'm trying to configure it to connect to my uni halls internet, but to do that I need the MAC address. If I do ipconfig it just says "Windows IP configuration" and nothing else.
    If I go to device manager there's no category for network adaptors, even though I can see the ethernet port on the back. Its almost as if it doesnt know it has on-board LAN.
    Back home her brother used to use it with the built-in modem , but not the ethernet port.
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    Some Toshiba models have an RJ45-port (Ethernet) but nothing behind it - means no network controller. The machine is prepared for LAN but no LAN built in.
    So you have to get f.ex. a PC Card to hook it up to the LAN.

  • Max HDD Size for Satellite 3000 -514 with BIOS 2.30

    Hi folks !
    What is the largest HD size notebook recognizes with BIOS 2.30.
    I found no FAQ information ragarding this BIOS version.
    Thx for your help.

    Hi
    The Satellite 3000-514 supports the HDD sizes up to 30GB.
    You need a HDD 2.5", 9.5mm support bus master IDE, Ultra 33/66 synchronous DMA
    Bigger HDD sizes are not supported and I suppose the BIOS will not recognize it.

  • Keyboard Satellite 3000-214 - Ctrl-key not working

    Hi,
    I've started my old Satellite 3000-214 Notebook and suddenly my Ctrl-key did not work anymore.
    I've already tried to clean the keyboard by unmounting all keys from it and cleaning the foils, without success.
    Can anyone tell me where I can get a suitable keyboard from (I live in germany)?
    Does it has to be an original Toshiba keyboard or can it be from an other manufacturer?
    How can I remove the keyboard from the laptop? Do I have to open the case or is it possible to get it out with a screwdriver or something?
    Thx for any hint!
    Best regards.
    Ting

    Hi
    You should use the original Toshiba keyboard which is supported and compatible with this notebook.
    All parts and devices you can purchase from the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country. The full database with worldwide ASP you can find on the Toshiba European support page.
    Usually if you want to remove the keyboard you have to remove firstly the thin cover above the keyboard.
    There you will find two screws which secure the keyboard. After removing of these two screws you will be able to put out the keyboard.
    But be careful; the keyboard is connected with the flat cable to the motherboard.

  • How to replace CMOS on Satellite 3000-514?

    My laptop won't boot anymore (though the power lights come on) and I suspect the CMOS needs replacing.
    How do I open and replace it in my Satellite 3000-514?
    I tried dismantling the back, but got stuck.
    Any help?
    Thanks.

    To be honest I don't think CMOS battery is responsible for this.
    I had old Tecra notebook and I didn't use it last 3 years. When I wanted to start it there were no problem, just message that CMOS battery is empty were shown. When you connect notebook to the AC power supply after 48 hours the CMOS battery should be loaded again.
    In your case it is probably some hardware related issue but it is not easy to say what can be wrong there. Maybe is BIOS corrupted, maybe is CPU defective. Who knows?

  • Satellite 3000-514: How to activate Intel WLan 2200BG hardware button

    Hi.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite 3000-514 and an Intel Centrino Mini-PCI WLan card. (Intel???® PRO/Wireless 2200BG) Running win-XP and Ubuntu on it.
    Is there a solution to sidestep the problem, that the wlan-software wants me to push a hardware-button to activate wireless lan, that my Laptop just don't have?
    In a german forum someone mentioned solving the problem by using "easy button", a program I already downloaded from Toshiba.
    But you can only choose .exe files to be connected to a button. Is there an .exe file to make the software think I pushed that not existion wlan-hardwarebutton?
    *sigh* Help!?
    Thanks in advance. Sorry for my bad english.

    Hm,
    sounds tricky. I have no software solution for you, but I have an alternative solution for you.
    Since you are a german guy, you can check/read this:
    ttp://cgi.ebay.de/54Mbit-ATHEROS-802-11g-b-G-Wi-Fi-WLAN-MINI-PCI-KARTE-RG_
    W0QQitemZ250170200040QQihZ015QQcategoryZ79551QQssP ageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]
    Its an atheros card like I have in my Tecra 9100. So, I had many many problems with intel card since they require a full working centrino
    platform to work and so most of these cards need a "hardware" switch (in your case a button) to work.
    With the atheros card you dont have these problems with switch/button since they are working anytime without need of switches or buttons.
    The disadvantage is that you cannot disable the card for power saving purposes.
    So I hope I could help you. Would appreciate some feedback. :)
    Nice weekend.

    Blank display, connected to tv via hdmi and to monitor via vga still blank. Tried with single ram in both slots alternatively still blank. Reconnected hdd still the same. Consulted with a technician, who tells that it is possibly a IC got corrupted (maybe of the vga or graphic). Is it repairable without replacing motherboard. If so then, where do I find the IC. What is the IC model number and what else do I need to do?
