Satellite L30 PSL33E won't start at all - LED flashes six times

Hello,
My poor mother is quite distraught! Her Satellite L30 PSL33E has just died.
It completely shut down and now won't start at all.
Orange light flashes six times when the power button is pressed.
No hard drive, fan, screen or any other noise / activity.
She has tried it without the battery.
Some sort of hardware failure I imagine.
Any ideas what this blink code means?
Thanks in advance,
D.

I dont know what the code means but you can read it; short means 0 and long means 1
Anyway, the error code means that an hardware fault was detected on the motherboard and only the motherboard replacement could help you?
Why?
because is really hard to repair a notebooks motherboard.
Its mostly not possible if you dont have enough knowledge, experience and special tools.
I think either you will contact the ASP in your country and will ask for a fix or you will have to buy a new notebook ;(

  • Satellite Pro 2100 won't start at all - LED start flashing

    My SP2100 has started having power problems, and now won't start at all. The AC adapter green LED is on, as are the relevant lights on the laptop body (although the 'battery charging' light always stays orange these days). When I attempt switch on, boot up starts (and has in fact been successful on occasion until this morning), however the battery indicator and the adapter lights start flashing, and everything shuts down again.
    On the rare occasions when I get past this stage, the lights keep flashing, and the system soon shuts down again with a 'low battery' screen message. Until this morning, it would sometimes settle down, the computer stayed on, and the lights showed a steady state as normal.
    I initially thought that the problem was obviously the battery or the AC adapter, but now I'm beginning to think that it lies with laptop's internal power adapter (although I suspect that the battery is probably shot following all this part charging and discharging).
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I think you are right. Flashing LEDs are a sign that some hardware is faulty.
    I can't say what's exactly the problem, this should be checked by a technicain.
    On the other side I'm not sure if it is worth to repair such an old machine.
    Bye

  • Satellite P300-13M won't start at all

    Hello everybody,
    my Satellite P300 - 13M with product number PSPC4E won't start at all!
    When I put down my screen, it automatically goes in hibernation mode. But the last time I did this was just too much apparently.. I've ejected my battery and put the adapter in to see if it would start. Negative. I've put the battery back and ejected the adapter. Negative. I've connected both the battery and adapter. Negative, no result at all.
    Does this mean the end of my laptop?
    Please help me as fast you guys can because this is my only working laptop.
    Many thanks
    Ps if you want specifications, then i cannot give you them. I don't know the specs by heart.

    On this virtual way it is not easy to say what is wrong there but if there is no reaction at all Im afraid mainboard is death.
    In my opinion repair is probably not the solution. New motherboard costs a lot of money. Either you can find used one, maybe refurbished and exchange it or sell notebook on eBay and buy new one.

    My notebook (Toshiba Satellite L30 PSL33E) came with Windows Vista but it is very slow with this OS and one of my friends downgrade my OS to XP.
    But now the built-in speaker doesn't work. Where i can find driver for them.

  • I killed a MacBook Pro. Shutdown with flash in drive and now it won't start at all.

    I may have killed my MacBook Pro OS X by accidentally restarting  with  a Flash Drive it it and now it won't start at all.  Any ideas?

    So it is powering on. You did not state that before. In that case:
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Also see this if above doesn't work:
    Install OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should install the original version of OS X that came on the machine.

  • ITunes kept freezing and now it won't start at all

    It all started when I downloaded an iTune U class that contained a lot of videos and chose to download all old episodes. It turned out there so many that it would take 25 hours. I tried to abort the downloads, but apparently that messed something up. 
    First iTunes started up normally, tried to download "83 items" and then started to freeze up after a minute. I had to shut it down via the Task Manager.
    Then it got worse, and now it won't start at all. After I click on the icon to open iTunes (I have Windows 8) the screen turns white, the blue wheel spins and nothing happens. When I hold the cursor over the iTunes icon in the task bar I can see two preview tiles (one for Download and one for iTunes itself), but both are blank (all white) and nothing happens - the blue wheel will spin forever. What do I do?
    I do have the latest version of iTunes. If I uninstall and reinstall iTunes, will that solve the problem? And will the content of my library still be there?  Thanks!

    Hello, J Appleseed. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    You can try an uninstall and reinstall of iTunes to see if that resolves the issue.  Your iTunes library will not be deleted by doing this.  However, this issue could be a result of multiple issues so an uninstall/reinstall may not resolve this.  Below, I have included the best articles that will help you isolate and possibly correct this issue.  Process each step and test the results after each step processed.

  • 17" Macbook Pro won't start at all.  I shut it down last night at 80% and now there is only black screen, no light, no sound.  What to do?

    My 17" Macbook Pro won't start at all.  I shut it down last night at 80% and today I get only a black screen with no sound, no light, nothing.  The power cord light does show orange when plugged in.  I don't know exactly which OS it is. It's model # A1286. I've tried all the tips about holding down different keys to no avail.  Anyother ideas?  (The serial # is w8******agu if that helps.)  Many thanks.
    <Edited By Host>

    I had the exact same issue...  Macbook Pro late 2008 with Core2Duo.  Went to all the steps suggested in the knowledge base, tried to reset the SMC, but to no avail.   Took it to the Macstore in Mexico, the wanted to replace logic board for $800....  Finally, I sent it to a logic board repair service, where they "fixed"  the logic board for $200.  It worked perfectly for 4 months, then happened again   
    Any ideas??  I would appreciate any help!!!!!

  • If the system won't start at all

    I have just purchased a MSI K8Neo 2 FX S939 motherboard second hand. I have installed a AMD 64 3200+ CPU and two 256M DDR333 memory modules
    and a NVIDIA 6600GT 256M DDR3 videocard on it. These components worked prior on another motherboard. Now the system won't start at all.
    The following observations has been made.
    1) All fans start to spin including CPU fan videocard fan and the fan on the mb chip and the power LED lits up.
    2) Nothing else happens. No display no sound from the internal PC speaker.
    3) If I press the reset button nothing happens at all
    4) I must press the power button for several seconds to turn of the power from the system
    5) The mobo was not delivered in a ESD bag but wrapped in towels. Does that make ESD damage likely?
    What conclusions can be made from that? My own opinion is that the CPU never starts working. Otherwise shouldn't there be some beep from the PC speaker when an error is detected? I have carefully checked all connections

    Q-Tec PSU. 
    You are wasting your and our time untill you get rid of that piece of garbage, you are lucky anything at all worked with it.
     Buy a real PSU, not a wanna-be like Q-Tec. For that PC a Corsair CX400W (+12~30A) 0r VX450W (+12V~33A) would be good. If you might need more power for the future you might want to consider on of the Corsair TX series or PC P & C 610W or 750W. Whatever you do don't get a cheap PSU, get one you can depend on.
    Yes I know I shouldn't ask much of a Qtec PSU but I doubt that it is the reason for this problem. Even a QTec should be able to let the speaker make a beep sound at least. My current MSI setup require rather little power. Got no PCI cards or USB units. Only one harddrive and one DVD Rom. According to the web power supply calculator I need a little bit over 200W and the PSU you suggests would be expensive

  • Pavilion G6-1b59wm won't start at all

    Good day .. I have a Pavilion G6 that won't start at all when the power button is pushed. I've tried it on battery only, and with the power cord plugged in. Yet nothing.
    Here is what I see: When the power cord is plugged in, the power LED next to the port is white. I press the power button and it momentarily flashes white (and the F12 LED flashes). Nothing else happens. No other LEDs lite, and the screen remains black.
    DIagnostic steps followed:
    1. Battery was removed, and unit unplugged. Power button held for 30 seconds, and plugged back in. Nothing.
    2. Battery removed and unit plugged into the wall. Power button pushed and nothing.
    3. Tried a different power cord, different battery .. nothing
    4. Removed the RAM boards, power button pushed .. nothing
    5. Removed the hard drive (RAM still uninstalled), power button pushed .. nothing
    Any further suggestions ?

  • IPhone 3GS won't start at all...please help

    My iPhone 3GS won't start at all, it only shows the apple logo untill the battery runs out and it keeps on doing that. It happened after I erased all contents & settings. I tried pressing home button & power button for 15 seconds too, it didn't work. Any other ideas?

    after few minutes.
    if it dont start then put your phone in dfu mode and connect to itunes for
    a restore. for dfu mode search google.

  • MacBook won't start at all - dead

    My MacBook won't start AT ALL - nothing, nada, zip.
    I press the power button and nothing happens at all - no sound, no lights, no movement.
    I have tried taking out battery and unplugging it, then pressing power button for 5 seconds, then inserting battery and plugging back in (as per Apple's kb note). This doesn't help.
    [OK I was trying to upgrade the hard drive - original hard drive is now back in the MacBook]
    Any ideas?

    OK I took my MacBook to the guys at Streetwise in Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn (we are talking Melbourne Australia here).
    Incredibly helpful - the genius there diagnosed a dislodged cable between the top board (keyboard and housing) and the main body. He thought I had dislodged it trying to change over the hard drive.
    In any case, he straightened things out, reseated the cable and voila, its all working.
    Hard drive upgraded too using Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all

    I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all. Simply get the Apple logo and the clock below and then after about 10 mins the laptop switched itself off. The Snow Leopard  disk is a brand new family edition. Error message when attempting to install was that "this software cannot be installed on this disk".

    Thanks Fred, but I've tried '''ALL''' that already.
    I '''THINK''' I might have found the problem - the Profiles folder has been locked by inherited properties from the levels above. I have had to go all the way up to my User folder and reset ALL the properties from there down to be unlocked so that I could remove the prefs.js file so that it could be recreated on the next launch of FF. Exactly why my User folder is locked in such a way as to stop me/FF making changes when I have been able to alter preferences at will in the past, I don't know ...
    So far, so good. I have since done a complete shutdown and when I restarted this morning, FF seems to be behaving itself ...
