Satellite A135-S4417 - boot failure

Hi,
Recently when on it has been giving off one beep and if it stays on it will repeat this beep every 15-20 seconds.
However, it's now failing to boot beyond the Vista login screen, and just shuts down instantly.
Repeated attempts to start it with or without the battery or only connected to AC power and it gets beyond the "press <f2> or <f12> ... " screen and then shuts down. No beep.
If it stays on beyond that screen I will get the beep as described above.
If I remove the RAM it fails to show anything on screen or beep in any way.
In all cases the cooling fan does fire up, stay on for a couple of seconds, then stops and then the laptop dies or continues trying to load Windows and then shuts down instantly. If it gets far enough it beeps again at the same interval as described above.
The side vent allows me to see the heat sink and it looks clear of debris and I've had no instances of overheating.
Without any error beeps or other symptoms I can't see what's really wrong or what else to check.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you using the original Toshiba AC Adapter? Perhaps its faulty or it cannot supply enough Amps.

Satellite C660 - Intermittent boot failure

For the past month my Satellite C660 intermittently refuses to boot. Frequency of failure appears to be increasing.
The drive light comes on, the fan runs for 5 seconds (sometimes 15seconds with a speed increase at the end) and then the machine shuts down.
No bios display.
This happens with battery only, PSU only or both connected. With HDD in or out, with or without ram.
Bios has been reset and updated and the bios battery replaced.
No loose connections internally.
PSU produces 19.3V DC.
No obvious pattern as to when it will boot, but when it does W7 runs fine.
Would be grateful for any input.

As a corollary, the machine will reboot OK if the power is removed for 2-3 minutes.
That applies if it has been running from the battery or the psu.
It seems that it is retaining the 'shut down' state while there is power available either via the battery or the psu.
It's liveable with, but it would be good to know just why it's happening or if there's a better solution than pulling the battery/switching off the psu's supply.

Satellite P100-227 Boot Failure

Our laptop got a virus and went into a BSOD boot loop, I re-built using the Toshiba Recovery Disk, installed some software then switched off.
Now when switching on the Toshiba screen comes up and then the screen goes blank.
Will not boot from HDD, will not run Recovery Disk, will recognise a Win XP disk, but goes blank after telling you it is checking system.
Have tried restoring BIOS defaults - same problem.
HDD light blinks slowly sometimes - I don't know what this means.
I would be grateful for any ideas, possibly duff HDD or Motherboard but this seems a bit co-incidental with the Virus, could the virus have done this?
Many thanks.

Hi rjfo94,
The MBR will be deleted as well if you use the Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings so its not a software problem.
In my opinion it must be a hardware malfunction. Otherwise everything would work because recovery disk contains a pretested OS installation and configuration with all drivers and tools by Toshiba.
You should contact nearest authorized service provider in your country and ask for help. The guys can repair your notebook and test the whole hardware. :)

Satellite A135 black screen and does not boot

I have a Satellite A135 running windows vista and I have not used it in over a year.
I have gone to use it today and it powers up but the screen is blank. I can't even see the bios.
I have tried the usual things connecting to a monitor , removed the ram chip from the back and tried a different one, I also tried ac power only with no luck.
Any ideas what it could be.
Thanks for the help

Hi
I have similar problems with the grey screen syndrome, I connected the computer to an external monitor and had to repeatedly reselect the monitor to PC as the monitor defaulted each time to AV1. Reselecting PC appeared to work. Best of luck, I have been grappling with this problem for months!

Boot failure: Digital signature not found

Just bought a Toshiba Satellite C885D-S5320 and it was working great. Packed it up this morning, unpacked it a few seconds later and tried to turn it on. Got a message that reads "Boot failure: a proper digital signature was not found. One of the files on the selected boot device was rejected by the Secure Boot feature."
I didn't make a recovery disk but tried to use the hidden recovery feature I'd found out here. Worked great to abou 76%, then that message came up again. Help???

Re: SATELLITE C855D-S5320 Help me please!

I bought the same computer from Walmart for my daughter for Christmas. I have had to send it in three times to have the hard drive fixed as it showed the same error that you were getting. I was very mad as the first time I had to pay $25 to have them ship me the box to send it in to them. I also tried at first to return it back to Walmart but was told it was to late and I would have to go through Toshiba. I just received it back again today. They have had to replace the hard drive three times. This is ridiculous as I have had several other computers and laptops and have never had to have a hard drive replaced before. I told them I was not paying the last two times to send it in for repair as it should never of had to go to them the first time. The girl did send me the box free the last two times but honestly I think they should just give me a whole new computer as I think these ones are lemons! I cannot believe a brand new computer would need to have a hard drive replaced 3 times in 5 months! The girl advised me if it had to go back again they would probably finally do something. I sure hope your is working better then mine.

I searched on internet, I think this is caused by my graphic card(ATI 5750), but I have no idea to solve it
I don't know my system boot failure due to these error or another things.
my PC specs:
motherbroad - gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 (bios ver - F11)
cpu - i5-750
display - ati 5750
os - arch 64bit
Currently, I have downgraded back to 3.13.
I hope someone can give me some idea,
Thanks

As there are errors associated with ntpd, I would temporarily disable the ntpd service and also ipv6.
If they are not the only problem, at least your logs would be easier to examine for other problems.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 BOOT Failure on HP ProBook 450 G1...

Dear forum viewes and experts...
I hope you can provide me with your insights on this problem i am having...
I bought a new laptop HP ProBook 450 G1 (i5 4200M, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 2GB ATI Graphics card). The laptop comes with DOS free operating system.
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate from ISO file on a USB stick, and then activated the Windows.
After updating all drivers and having a clean device manager with no hardware left as unknown, i figured out that the laptop fails to make a cold BOOT.
After several trials, and installations. the problem remained the same. I changed the installation to Windows 8.1 Pro and the problem remained the same.
On cold booting, the laptop after showing HP logo in start-up starts to show Windows Logo animation but in Super Slow Motion for about 6-8 minutes, then followed by strange sounds which force me to shut it down by pressing power button for long until it shuts down.
After huge number of trail and error, i found out that if I entered BIOS Setup (by pressing esc then F10) and then exiting it without doing any changes or even without saving, the Laptop boots Windows 7 very smoothly (in about 15-18 seconds) and works fine. it also can make endless number of smooth restarts without any problem.
If it is shut down then turned on, the boot failure is the outcome.
The only way to make a successful cold BOOT (i.e after a shut down) is to enter BIOS setup mode (by pressing esc then F10), then exiting it within seconds without changing anything or saving, then it boots smoothly.
I tried MBR fixes through command prompt in Recovery Mode, I tried to change booting to make it boot as LEGACY or UEFI Hybrid. The BIOS is updated to the latest frimware on HP website verion 1.2 dated 15 July 2014.
NO HELP.....All lead to the same disappointing result.
Any idea whether this is a hardware issue/software issue/BIOS issue?
Your insights will be highly appreciated

Video expansion on Satellite A135-S4467

Hi
I have a Satellite A135-S4467 and I would like to upgrade the video for other better video car NVIDIA or ATI. Is it possible and where can I get the video car?
Can I use from another brand the video car ex (NVIDIA from some other notebook)?

Hello
Unfortunately notebook construction does not allow any video card upgrade. The graphic card is part of the mainboard and it can not be exchanged or upgraded.
As you know on desktops something like that is possible but not on mobile computers. Sorry.

HELP! How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?

Hi,
I am having a few problems with bootcamp on my imac. When i tried to move the bootcamp partition on windows 7 into free space, it crashed and turned off. Ever since i have had the error 'Missing operating system' and it fails to boot. I have some very important files on the bootcamp partition. Is it possible to recover these files or even to restore the bootcamp partition to it's original state? I do not have a backup of my bootcamp partition. Another problem i have is that ever since i tried to expand my macintosh HD partition into free space, when i hold alt while booting up (to choose which partition to boot like i normally do), the bootcamp partition has stopped appearing. This means that i cannot even boot the windows 7 bootcamp partition anymore!
So basically here are my 2 questions:
How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?
How can i make the Bootcamp partition appear in Startup Disk and when i hold the option key while starting up my computer to allow me to boot windows 7?
Any solutions are very much apreciated!
Thanks!
I know that bootcamp (disk0s4) hasn't been fully deleted since it appears in disk utility (i cant do anything to it though)
And here is the error i see when i try to launch bootcamp (back when i was actually able to boot up bootcamp to the error screen)

WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
http://www.twocanoes.com/
Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.
http://www.paragon-software.com/downloads/demo.html
I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
OS X
Windows
Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

Satellite A135-S2276 - can't find drivers for Windows XP

Hi! I can't find drivers for windows XP to this notebook. Do anyone know where I can find it?

Hi stalker (what a crazy nic)
The Satellite A135 is not known to me but it looks like the US model.
Did you take a look on the Toshiba US website???
Please check this link:

Its a Toshiba US driver download page.

Satellite A135-S4527 - Drivers needed & Function Keys do not work

Hello,
I have a Satellite A135-S4527. But, when I got this computer it was without a recovery disk / Vista Reinstall Disk and the Vista OS that was installed was a bloated mess - it was highly used by a individual of lesser intellect. Anyway, I decided to take out that Hard Drive and put in my SSD with Windows XP Professional SP3.
Thats when the problems started rolling in. Turns out Toshiba does not support Windows XP Operating System - I checked the site and was surprised to see a complete lack of support for Windows XP ( even though Windows XP is the dominant OS and was even more so when this laptop was made).
I managed to get the drivers installed, for everything but the modem. Easiest to find drivers were from Intel for the Chipset / Motherboard and the Legacy Graphical Processing Unit. The thing is, I am not sure whether or not these are the official drivers and I am completely lost on the drivers for the modem. Any idea where I can acquire the -latest and greatest- drivers for all my components?
Also there are a few problems,
- Function Keys For Brightness Do Nothing
- Laptop sometimes does not come out of sleep mode
What can I do about the brightness keys? The monitor is sometimes a bit too bright to be comfortable to use. Yet I am having no luck making those keys actually do anything.
Any help appreciated.

Hi
From my knowledge this must be a Toshiba US notebook series.
Therefore I visited the Toshiba US driver page to check the driver availability.
And guess what? I found it but unfortunately there are no many Win XP drivers.
There are Vista and Win 7 drivers available but no Win XP.
I guess that this is everything what is available for Win XP.
So what to do????
I think you should try to install the missing tools which are released for other notebook series; for example A105-Sxxxxxx
Maybe you will get the driver working
Lets hope. Otherwise you will have to use the notebook without such functions

Boot failure following Windows 8.1 update. shows reason: irql_not_less_or_equal

Hi,
I have the dreaded BSOD with irql_not_less_or_equal boot failure.
The PC was running Vista when bought, which was subsequently upgraded to Windows 8. This was done via an online purchase & download of the Windows 8 Upgrade, so I do not have any installation media. I have also updated (again online, so no physical media)
to Windows 8.1
I have recently had to shut the PC down (it usually stays on all the time), but now it refuses to boot, going straight to the new style BSOD, showing 'irql_not_less_or_equal', which then restarts in to the system restore menu.
I have tried to remove some peripherals - removing the video card (now using the display adapter on the MoBo), a USB 3 card & a USB head-set dongle - which has improved the situation a little - it now boots to the log-in page (sometimes), but will
BSOD after about 10 seconds, regardless of whether I am fast enough to log-in, or not.
I have tried (from the System Restore menu) to do a restore to a previous state, but it doesn't seem to be able to find the restore points.
Note, the BSOD occurs if I boot into 'Safe' Mode, or do a normal boot.
The bottom line is:...
I can't boot to Safe Mode, get to any system maintenance tools, so I can't disable/uninstall any drivers.
Windows 8 & the 8.1 update were purchased online & downloaded, so no boot disk(s).
The recovery points I have made do not seem to be accessible.
Any advise on how to proceed?
cheers
Paul

now boots to the log-in page (sometimes), but will BSOD after about 10 seconds, regardless of whether I am fast enough to log-in, or not.
That should be enough time to get to the Shift-Restart option. <eg>
Since you can see what you're doing you don't even have to do the backwards method that I was long proposing so that users who were trying to do this in the dark would be able to bypass their password field. But maybe using a set of Backtab (Shift-Tab)
Shift-Space would be more efficient anyway?
Here is an example of an explanation of the technique:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/37eff8a6-74a3-4775-90d7-e0aa86c68424/windows-8-black-screen-at-boot?forum=w8itprogeneral#0dc40edd-4e3b-466b-b4af-37c532eb844a
<quote>
In order to try to avoid hitting the Password field in this uncertain state I suggested using Backtab (e.g. Shift-Tab) to do the navigation. Fortunately, the pressing of Shift- would solve the problem of whether you were on the Lock screen or already on
the Login screen. So the iteration would be Shift-Tab, Shift-Space (Fortunately, the Restart item is at the bottom of the Shutdown menu.)

Boot Failure iMac G3 400MHz, goes on firmware mode :S

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a second hand iMac G3, 400MHz processor and 128mb ram, 10gb harddrive. I've always wanted a Mac just for the fun of it, and i finally got it. I dont think this imac is dead, but i'm having trouble on boot. It is not booting the traditional way, it is going down to firmware boot.
It gives this info:
MacOS: Boot Failure! (0xF3C481F6)
Mac OS: parcel initialization failure - bad checksum
Then i have 2 choices from the firmware for booting or shutting down 1. mac-boot command and 2. shut-down command.
So, i give it the mac-boot command; in starts showing the mac face for a few seconds, then it displays this message below of it:
/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:5,\\:tbxi
after maybe a minute it finally displays the face and ? symbol; typical of not finding the system. Problem is that, even starting the imac with the system disc on it and pressing "c" at bootime, it still goes to the firmware thing...
Is there a way to tell the imac "hey dont boot at firmware, boot at cd!!" ??
Oh, by the way...during the "/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:5,\\:tbxi" message I can still press the "alt" key and it shows me the retry arrow, the system harddrive labeled "Lorelai's comp", the system CD and the straight right arrow.... i try clicking on the harddrive and also on the CD icons to try to boot, but it only refreshes the screen changing from the traditional blue/purple background to a red-ish background and arrow/drive's buttons get funny colors...
i dont know what is going on....i dont think the imac is dead....i guess it has to do with that firmware booting default thing...
please help....
thanks in advance.

Hi again Kenichi,
Question: I've done that procedure yesterday, but i pressed the button for only 1 second 1 TIME ....can i make the procedure again despite if i did it 1 time before? or doing it again will crash the iMac forever?
About the black screen i told you before, here's the thing...if i place a battery on it and reset the nvram via keyboard commands or firmware commands, at the restart then is when the imac goes on black....BUT if i remove the battery, leave it there for a minute or 2, and then power it on, it goes to the firmware state again, ofcourse with good video on it....i dont think it has a video problem...but i dont understand why when making the reset procedures with a battery on the iMac this black-non starting screen keeps going...
Thanks in advance.
