It sounds like the computer is turning on and working but you're not getting any video. As a temporary fix, hook up an external monitor to the VGA port and turn on the monitor. Now turn on the computer again. If the computer is still not showing anything on the external monitor, while holding down the FN key, tap the F5 key a couple times.
I think there is something wrong with your computer. If it is still under warranty get it fixed as soon as possible, because an out of warranty screen repair can be expensive.

  • C700 Laptop: Not booting: Black screen: No BIOS

    My 4 years old Compaq Presario c700 (C794) laptop is not booting up. Does not go into BIOS, and does not even show the message “Press F10 to enter BIOS” etc.
    I see a clear black screen (but has backlit and I am able to adjust the brightness using Fn keys). Tried on the desktop monitor, it is black too.
    The HD is running intermittently, all LEDs are on, and the fan is running.  
    Windows is not booting up, there is no log on sound. WIFI light is also orange, it becomes green after booting is complete. HD activity is on but it is not as much to boot up Windows 7.
    Troubleshooting I did till now:  
    Hard reset by holding down the power button several times.
    Cleaned RAM and placed it in another slot.
    Removed the power and battery and kept it overnight.
    Tried on the desktop monitor, it is black too.
    This happened all of a sudden. I did not do any BIOS updates or anything that normally causes these kind of problem. I learned from some forums that an exhausted CMOS battery can cause it. Is it true? In this case, can you please give the location of the CMOS battery in these laptops?
    What are the other measures I can take?

    Hello again Hazarika.  
    I'll keep an eye out for your reply to make sure the issue is resolved.
    I hope you have a Happy Holiday!

  • Laptop not booting after I Upgraded BIOS

    Toshiba Satellite A215-S5849
    Originally had issues with the left speaker making a horrible buzzing noise. Searching forums & help boards & the fact that I'm fairly computer Literate I came to the conclusion a OS reinstall was called for.
    Since I only use this laptop for DJing theres only a couple of programs on it so it was not too much hastle.
    Reinstalled OS Windows 7 updated it & all the drivers & the Buzz was still there.
    This is when I read from a couple of users of Toshiba laptops said an upgrade of the BIOS helped them.
    So I went to the official Toshiba support page & flashed my laptop using the following BIOS upgrade
    ACPI Flash BIOS version 2.00 for Satellite A215 (PSAFGU/PSAFHU) 32/64-bit
    Nearing the end of the flash my pc screen went black power lights are on, cord light on, battery light on just no OS
    What I've tried.
    Unplugged from power supply.
    Removed Battery
    Left for 20 mins & then tried to reboot.
    Same thing happens each time
    Power lights come on HD spins for a minute but nothing happens after that.
    Any ideas why an official software update would cause my computer to not work & how do I roll back or clear my bios to default specs.

    Finally I found a good Phoenix crisis copy at : http://mods.myftp.org/Tools/CrisDisk_and_Pen_Drive?_Recovery.rar
    to download my own version of crisis disk with the new v2.0 rom bios. ready to build the floppy by running the crisdisk.bat:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/410963513/CrisDisk.zip?.html
    I posted this instruction to repair my A215 with these files:
    Since finding a solution was a very confusing experience, here is how I fixed it (it should work for most similar models.)
    Now read it all the way through because the steps are critical.
    I got a Toshiba Satellite A215 PSAFGU (S6814) And after shutting down from overheating during a flash from windows it didn't boot. Black screen and nothing more. Meanning my bios was corrupt
    So after lots of trial and error, using an external usb floppy drive I managed to save my laptop.
    Maybe people here describe how to do it, but they tell you to download the wrong crisis recovery files and once you try to use your ROM instead of the one on the disk, or try to replace phlash16.exe it just fails. Tried injecting but that didn't work.
    Finally I found a good Phoenix crisis copy at : http://mods.myftp.org/Tools/CrisDisk_and_Pen_Drive?_Recovery.rar
    unrar and go to the directory, then unrar (you'll see it) CRISDISK.rar .
    This copy of crisis with phflash16.exe (in the extracted directory) is a good version that can handle the newest versions of bios ROM.
    Now copy your ROM file to the crisisdisk directory renaming the file to bios.wph and thus replacing the existing one.(i used the new 2.0 version ROM from the Toshiba site - in this case its called m10a200.rom)
    To prevent 'dos path' errors when building the disk, copy the entire directory to a simple one like c:\cirsis
    Build your disk now by running CRISDISK.BAT - the process includes quick formatting, copying the three files, and lastly making it bootable, make sure you go through all the steps. ( at first, i messed the last part by not having it bootable and it failed ofcourse)
    once it says it created the disk successfully, put it in your external usb drive (or use the disk you created to make a bootable flash drive by using hp drivekey boot utility available here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/S?oftwareDescription.jsp?swItem=MTX-UNITY-I23839 I didn't have a chance to test it with usb flash drives, but it should work.)
    Now once you connected your media to the usb port on your laptop:
    make sure the battery is out, power cord out, hold fn+f, while doing that, plug the cord and then push the power button, release the fn+f key once you see the light on your usb drive/usb floppy is starting to blink. it should pause for a few seconds, and then start reading the disk for a while (not just 3 seconds). Process should not take more then 10 minutes so waiting more then that is a waste(trust me). The computer should reboot byitself if everything is fine. Mine took about 5 minutes but give it 10 just to make sure.
    After hours of finding, replacing, injecting, only this worked.
    This works for sure, if you follow these instructions with your Toshiba Satellite A215. Don't loose hope - you will recover it.
    A good sign is when using the fn+f method and it flashed the usb drive/floppy. It means its 99% recoverable.
    Really hope this saves time for others.
    This is a solution posted by yarivc on the USA Toshiba site.
    http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/Toshiba-Satellite-A215-S7422-bios-crisis-recovery/td-p/69185
    BTW
    to the last poster
    If you were to ask 100 customers in any comp store who just purchased a Toshiba Laptop if they knew a OFFICIAL UPDATE from the manufacturers support website would VOID a warrenty I gaurantee not one of them would know that nor be impressed by it.
    Further more what screwed up my bios was not the BIOS upgrade but the fact that Toshiba has a install from your desktop (windows) button in the update, researching this I found that one should never use this method because Windows in inherently unstable when it comes to BIOS update.
    This option should NOT have been included in the update since its very unstable to do so.
    On a side note.
    My left speaker buzzing noise is back. But it doesnt seem too annoying right now concidering I saved myself money & headache.

  • Laptop not booting from UEFI usb drive

    Hi,
    unfortunately I delete the whole hard drive so I'm trying to reinstall it. I'm using a Windows 8.1 UEFI usb drive (successfully used on other computers) but I got the following error on booting:
    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
    I don't have any selectable options in bios (i.e. legacy / secure boot). My bios version is F1C. It happens with any USB port (I tried them all).
    The same happens with a Windows 7 UEFI usb key.
    It works with a non-UEFI drive but I want to use UEFI...
    Thanks a lot
    riccardo

    There are no Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers for your notebook.

  • Laptop not booting

    Yesterday I had my macbook freeze on me so I powered it off. When I turned it back on it clicks 4 times and won't boot up (can't find hard drive).
    I assume this is a hard drive problem correct? Does anyone know that click code?

    Looks like I found some info on what I need here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=910664&tstart=45
    In terms of the beeping it looks like it is:
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    I guess I'll just have to take it in for repair.

    hi sathish291
    Welcome to the Forums.
    Can you try the following:
    1. Power down the machine, remove the AC adapter and battery.
    2. Hold the power button for 30secs and reconnect the AC adapter only then turn the computer ON.
    If the machine still doesn't power up normally and boot into WIndows then it's likely that something went wrong (could be a bad BIOS flash or an internal component might have gone defective during or after the BIOS update). In this case, you may need to contact lenovo on how to go about getting the unit serviced.

  • My Lenovo B460e Laptop not detecting Bootable Pendrive

    I have govt gifted Lenovo B460e Laptop. I already removed old both OS. I freshly installed Windows 8 using Bootable Pendrive. Now I think to install new OS using Bootable Pendrive but my Laptop not boot ing Pendrive for OS Installation. If i try to boot from Pendrive. Show Black Screen and go to the windows OS Login Window and also Setu Utility (BIOS) protected with password. I dont know also Setup Utility Password. I also checked Bootable Pendrive with another Laptop its working fine with it. Kindly help for installing new OS using Bootable Pendrive.

    hi Santh93,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Try using other Pendrive (Other brand)
       This might be compatability issue with the format
    Or the BIOS is se to load a proper UEFI boot. If this is the Case you will really need to enter the BIOS and set it to boot as legacy for it to boot on your flash drive.
    With the BIOS Password, the only thing I can think is to call Support team for assistance.

  • Toshiba Satellite Laptop - Will Not Boot, Safe Mode Not Accessible

    Hi everyone, thanks in advance for your help.
    I am trying to help my mother-in-law (I know, who does that!?) with her laptop. Because of the boot problems, I can only offer you limited info on the specs, but here is what I do know.
    Toshiba Satellite
    Model Number PSAE6C-TJ908C
    2 Gig RAM (assuming DDR2)
    HDD is a Toshiba MK2035GSS 200Gig
    OS Windows Vista
    Bios Version 2.60
    Problem:
    First it would boot ok in one user account, but when booted in secondary account it would act odd, ie caps lock stayed on when not pressed, etc. Deleted secondary account, ran Windows repair function, now I cannot access the primary account, will not boot in safe mode, can not change boot sequence in setup to boot from cd or run restore disc. I have to use an external keyboard as the laptop keyboards enter key and "a" keys do not work. (New keyboard which was replaced in December, warranty has since run out, thank you Staples.)
    Any and all help greatly appreciated. I'll answer any other questions you have as they come up, I realize I may have left out some key details.
    I forgot to add a couple of details. When booting, it hangs at the Toshiba screen prompting for either F2 for setup or F12 for boot device selection, when you reach the log in screen it gives a number of odd sounding beeps (3 I believe), the Filter Keys box comes up, and when you try to enter the login password it will not recognize it.

    Satellite A200-TJ (9PSAE6C-TJ908C)
    will not boot in safe mode, can not change boot sequence in setup to boot from cd or run restore disc.
    I have to use an external keyboard as the laptop keyboards enter key and "a" keys do not work.
     it hangs at the Toshiba screen prompting for either F2 for setup or F12 for boot device selection, when you reach the log in screen it gives a number of odd sounding beeps
    That's one sick laptop. If the thing beeps on startup and even the keyboard doesn't work, I'd figure on replacing it.
    Are there important files you need to rescue?

  • Satellite L745D-S4214 Does not boot; HDD recovery partition not working

    I tried to apply the recent windows 7 updates and my laptop no longer boots.  I tried to press F12 and select the HDD Recovery partition, but it does not boot regardless.  There is a message that it does not communicate to a specific device.  I believe the address called out was 0xc0000e9, but I am going by memory.  I never created a recovery CD because I thought I was covered by the HDD partitions.  This was purchased on 10/26/2012, so it should still be under warranty.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi I'm going to assume that your recovery works like mine and that the recovery partition is still good and not corrupted.
    Shut down your PC. Press F12 and select HDD recovery. Click enter. This should start the recovery from the hidden recovery partition.
    PS I would advise you to make the recovery discs or USB recovery Try this first.
    Perform a power cycle
    Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with boot problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
    Ensure the laptop is turned off.
    Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
    Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery).
    Unplug all wires or peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
    Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
    Reattach the battery.
    Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
    Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
    Try starting the computer.
    If your laptop starts normally now, you're done!

  • Satellite M30-107 does not boot correctly after Recovery disk usage

    Hi
    I've recently got hold of a second hand toshiba Satellite M30-107 laptop, and decided to freshen it up.
    I used the toshiba recovery disk, but after doing so the laptop no longer loads windows.
    When turned on it shows the Toshiba start up disk for about a second then goes to a blank screen and freezes.
    When turned off and on again a screen comes up reporting an error in shutting down and gives the options to start in safe mode etc. but choosing any of the options causes the machine to freeze.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    jt

    Hi
    Sounds a little bit like the notebook does not boot due to the Windows software issue
    Did you recover the M30 with the original Toshiba recovery CD which was supplied with this M30 unit?
    Maybe Im wrong but for me it looks like a wrong recovery CD was used and an image with non compatible drivers was installed
    You could try to install the OS from original Microsoft Win XP CD and could check if it would be possible to get the notebook ruining using clean OS.
    In such case we ( you and me ;) ) could find out if this issue could be related to the software or hardware.
    Bye

  • Satellite A105 WIN XP does not boot or load...

    Ok, so my wife's laptop has a boot issue. Model is A105-S4284
    The Toshiba/Phoenix screen loads, but does not boot/load XP. It gives a black screen, then sits for a few secs and restarts. it will continue this loop indefinetely as far as I can tell. When this happened, she complained that it has been taking longer for it to boot into XP recently. (Wish she had told me before)
    I can get to BIOS system utilites, Boot menu, and can access F8/Win Advanced options boot choices. I have tried the following:
    Safe Mode
    Safe Mode w/command prompt
    Last known GCFG
    Disable Auto restart on failure
    I have also done a battery pull and unseated the memory, even swapping left/right, and attempted boot from just one mempry module, all with no change.
    Apparently her DVD/optical drive is toast (apparently has been) so I can't do a recovery disc, but I did make a recovery USB drive. No dice there either.
    What have I not done? Since I can access the adv. opt. menu it seems winXP is still there. most likely she shut it down while XP was installing something, and now there is some type of error in the registry or somewhere, but I can't seem to recall or remember what my next steps would be to gain access to I can try to clean it up and recover.
    I would do a complete wipe and start from scratch, but her entire work portfolio is on the HDD and she (foolishly) has not backed it up, at least not recently. Is my best bet to get an outboard drive enclosure and set the jumpers to slave, so I can attempt to recover the data that way? 
    I'm a bit stubborn, and know my way around a computer, and I refuse to give up and drop it off at the geek squad.
    Please help!

    Satellite A105-S4284 
    her entire work portfolio is on the HDD
    First things first. You should rescue the files.

  • Satellite L100 will not boot up if wi-fi is enabled

    Hi
    Starting from the beginning, yesterday for first time my husband connected his Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4E to an LCD TV using a s-video cable. Everything seemed to work fine but thebackground on thedesktop had vanished, there was just a plain white background with all the usual desktop icon. He restarted the lappy thinking this would sort it out but did not disconnect from the TV first. The lappy did not start back up - just had a plain black screen, no warnings or anything.
    A couple techie minded friends arrived at that point and suggested the lappy had 'lost' its display drivers and, after a lot of research decided the only option was to reinstall everything from scratch.
    I do not have the original Toshiba restore disks or recovery disks so downloaded all the drivers from this site. Now the laptop will not boot-up if the wifi is turned on. This model has a Atheros network card - at least the lable on the bottom says contains Atheros AR5BMB5.
    If I turn the wifi switch to off the lappy starts up every time, if however the switch is on it will not start up even in safe mode. If I turn the wifi on after windows XP has started up the lappy freezes and keyboard etc are non responsive and i have to force a shut-down by holding down the power button.
    So far I have spent hours trawling this and other websites to try find any clues that might help.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as Christmas is likely to be hell if hubby does not have his lappy to play with!!!
    Many thanks in anticipation.

    Hello Tree
    After almost 10 years with Toshiba notebooks I must say that I have never heard about something like this. For me it sounds unbelievable.
    The best solution for you is to install OS using original Toshiba recovery image. If you don't have one you can order it.
    What you can try is to enter BIOS settings at startup. Set it to default settings and check if the problem persists.
