Satellite A200 does not start up

Hi
overall, i was very happy with my A200, now 5 months old.
But last month, strange behaviour.
Vista always perfect closed.
Next day, want to start my PC.
_ON-button is doing nothing_, although battery is 100% ok.
-> SOLUTION is to remove battery, insert again and then with ON, the laptop is starting...
Other issue:
ON-button is starting up the laptop, but _screen remains black_.
-> Same solution, remove battery and start again.
Is this known? Solution ?
Thx
dave

JayJay is right. The BIOS update should helps to sort out this issue!
Check this Toshiba US page:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlView.jsp?soid=1991432
I would recommend updating the graphic card driver too.
How about Vista update?
You should check if the Vista is up-to-date!

Satellite A200 does not start anymore.

Hello, im trying to find a whats going on with my laptop. It's a Satellite A200 on Windows 7 professional.
From a few days ago i cant start the laptop anymore. It doesnt look like a software issue because when i push the power button, the only thing that happens is the power led turns on (blue color) and, 2 seconds later, starts to blink orange. And never passes this stage.
The screen remains as off, and i think, the BIOS does not start as well.
Ive already tried to remove the Ram and the hard drive - Keeps doing the same. Doesnt even bleeps over the missing Ram or drive!!!
Anyone have any ideia about whats going on??!! Please anwser!
Sorry for the english. Portugal here ;)

> Do you kown if this is a comom problem with this laptop model?? Because i have read in a few forums that is a common problem with this laptop
Unfortunately, this is a common problem for many laptop models. My old laptop (non Toshiba one) also had such problem with southbridge malfunction. I just threw it into garbage as replacing mobo is pretty expensive procedure. it's better to buy new one or second-hand

Satellite C660 does not start up

Yesterday we purchased a Satellite C660 with Windows 7 64bit installed. Worked just fine but today the laptop does not start up again. Updates were installed but after pressing the power button the light of the hdd turns on for a few seconds, the vents work for two seconds and then ... nothing !
Please help !

You cannot start notebook at all?
Can you enter BIOS settings with F2 at start up?
Which updates have you installed?
If nothing works you have only one choice: either bring it back to your local dealer and ask for replacement or contact Toshiba service provider directly. They can check hardware and help you with this.

Toshiba Satellite P105 Does Not Start up

I have Satellite P105 which was purchase almost 3 years ago (No warranty). It has a display problem and hence I use an external monitor as the primary display. Till last week, it was working okay. Last Sunday, I shut down the machine and since then it is not at all starting. When the power button is pressed, the power light glows, the HDD light blinks for a second or so and then nothing happens. It I keep the power button pressed for 5 seconds, the power LED goes off. This is happening on battery as well as on AC adapter. Also I have tried this with external monitor as well as without it but no improvement. It even does not go to BIOS setup or no BIOS message is displayed. If I insert any disk in optical drive (when the pwoer LED is glowing), it tries to read the disk and then again nothing happens. I tried replacing the RAM module but the result is same. Recently, when it was working okay, while booting, it used to give a beeping sound till windows screen appeared.
Since I am using external monitor, I might have closed the lid while the shutdown was taking place when I switched it off last time..
Can any one suggest what is wrong and how to solve this issue?

Hi,
Thanks for your help and the probable suggestions.
The model No is S6024 and the power adapter is working okay. Anyway, I could solve the problem by doing following. I am not sure if that is what solved the issue but there are highly chances that this could be a solution since that was my last effort to start it again.
I opened up the compuer (thanks a ton to www.irisvista.com for that), located the CMOS battery and disconnected the battery from motherboard for about 20 minutes. After connecting the battery again, I re-assembeled computer and then started it again. The initial start was not encouraging but after the second try (it took slighly longer than usual to start this time) it showed the boot screen and it booted without any problems. I had to adjust the date (which is an indication that CMOS was resetted) but now it is booting without any problems.
Thanks to everybody who has gone through this post and tried to help in whatever manner they can.

Display of Satellite A200 does not switch on after 15 min inactivity!

Hello!
I have just purchased a Satellite A200 1-AX PSA6 and install Windows XP SP2 + upgrade bios for winxp.
After 15 munutes of unactivirty (not pressing any keys or mouse move) I'm set in Power options in control panel - what Display must power OFF.
After this time display is switches off (black)!
But I'm can't wake up my notebook!
I'm press any key or move mouse, but display is still black!
But notebook work!
I can ping then by network or connect by remote acceess!
One way to solve this problem:
Close and open notebook!
A200 - in sleep mode and wake up with swithches ON display....

Hello
It seems that WXP does not work perfectly on new Vista designed notebooks. Before you live your notebook try to change profile in power settings (long battery life) and test the settings with this profile.
Tomorrow I will try to install WXP on my A200 and I am really interesting if I will notice the same.

Satellite 2410 does not start

Dear all,
I have a S2410-304S which worked properly until today.
After trying to repair the loud speaker I removed all parts to open the notebook to reach the meachanic parts near the loud speaker. But I could not remove the upper from the lower panel and put everything together.
Afterwards the system could not be started! The green LED`s for power supply and battery are lighting.
Can anybody help??
Thanks,
Eckhard

Hi Eckhard,
Try diconnecting the notebook from the AC supply and also removing the battery for a few minutes. Then re-connect the AC supply and try to power on your notebook.
If the system still does not boot then there will be a problem with your mainboard and you will need to get your notebook serviced by an authorised service agent.
regards,

Satellite Pro A200 does not start up

Hi
I have an A200 with XP PRO installed.
After a routine defrag and restart the laptop when booting back up gets to my screensaver page then makes the noise off shutting back down.
No toolbar appears just goes straight tomy log in page and i have to shut it down?
When I try to restart in any of the three safe modes, again I get to the log in stage press enter the screen flickers twice and I get the login page again?
I have taken out the Ram stick and HDD to see if anything is amiss but they both seem fine..
Xmas eve and no laptop. Yeah I know. Get a life.
Can anybody help?

If you cannot even start your notebook in safe mode it is very bad situation.
What you can try is to obtain Microsoft installations CD and try to boot up with it and use REPAIR option.
If this will not help I really don't know what you can do aside from clean OS installation with recovery media.
Do you have some important data on the HDD?

Satellite A200 does not play DVDs won't play

I'm a first time user on this forum so hello to everyone.
My problem is that my (Vista-running) A200 Satellite will not play DVDs. When I try I get the following message: "Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings. Needless to say, I've played around with the relevant settings and there was no change to the situation. In a response posted at a different forum, someone suggested that I ditch Windows Media Player in favour of something better. I thought the alternative program he suggested would be free but it wasn't. Anyway, I've tried playing DVDs with other programs and got the same basic message. So it's not a Windows Media Player thing, it's a playing DVDs thing. Also, it doesn't matter if WMP isn't the BEST DVD player - I just want to play DVDs!! I've written to a Microsoft customer care helper person and they wrote back saying that it wasn't their problem. They consider it a "hardware matter". I don't buy that.
Just some history - I bought the computer second hand from a good friend. Now I can't remember ever playing a DVD on the computer, which slightly confuses things for the following reasons. Just after I bought the computer, which runs Vista, I installed MP3 player software that disagreed with the CD/DVD player drivers. This I think is a fairly common problem. That time Microsoft reps were happy to help me and told me to delete two key lines of the registry. That fixed the problem to some extent because now the drive a) existed again and b) could read and play CDs. But when I tried to play a DVD I got the above-mentioned message.
So like I say, as I don't remember ever even trying to play a DVD on the drive, I don't know whether or not the problems are related to the MP3 software clash problem, although it doesn't seem unlikely that they are related. Finally, the computer was less than a year old when I bought it and in every other respect it has been fine (Vista's intolerable sluggishness notwithstanding). Sadly the extended warranty has now run out so I hope it's not a hardware problem. The point is that since I've never even played a DVD on this thing, and it plays CDs with no problems (furthermore, the drive can READ DVDs, it can tell me all the chapters that are on a DVD and read files off it - it just won't play movies), I don't think it's hardware. I think there's some bug going on.
If anyone could shed any light on this matter, I would be eternally grateful!
Regards
Tom

Turns out that my confidence in Windows Media Player was misguided.
I wrote and said as much to the Microsoft rep who advised me to look elsewhere for advice.
I further told him that from now on, if I meet anyone with the same problem I will give them the advice with which I was originally provided - don't use Windows Media Player.
Heeding the rep's advice, I looked around on the website for the company that produced my DVD drive (Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-850S ATA Device) and in other forums, I forget where I found the advice but this media player:
Videolan Media Player Downloadable for free at:
http://www.videolan.org/
seems to play DVDs with no problems. I hope someone else might benefit from the information.
Good luck to all

My Satellite M30 does not start anymore

Hello,
I've a M30 laptop and it was a good laptop, but one day suddenly it crushed. When I boot up the laptop nothing happens, the Power Led switch on, and the battery and Power conection too.
Not any menssage is displayed on the screen, the screen stay black, iluminated but black, no BIOS, nothing at all. By the other side I can't hear tha habitual noise, no HDD, no FUN.
I've dissambled it, and look for any unwired conection, or any stupid problem, but I'can't find any.
Does anybody know what it's happening?
Juanma

Hi
I dont understand why you have disassembled this notebook if you have no experience with such fault diagnostic.
Believe me; usually its not possible to provide an exactly diagnostic. For me it looks like a motherboard fault, possibly also the CPU malfunction but who knows!
Without a notebook check its not easy to say whats wrong. So I think you will have to contact the ASP in your country to for a help.
Best regards and greetings

Satellite L650-12Q does not start up

I have a toshiba L650Q laptop. Its been working fine since 1.5years now..
Just a couple of days back I closed the laptop ie closed the screen ( typically it puts the same in sleep mode).
After about 10 min when I tried to open & start up the laptop simply does not startup :(
I can see the battery & power adapter LED glow, but when I press the start button, it simply does not start..
there is momentary glow of the power on button, i hear the fan trying to start up & then it dies down in abt 2 seconds & laptop simply does not start up..
I tried the below troubleshooting steps but no success
1) I removed the battery & tried starting using the adapter, it dint start up
2) I put the battery out for like 1 hour & then tried again, it dint start up
Please advise the troubleshooting steps or any pointers as what could the problem be & how can i resolve it..

Try this:
- Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor.
- Press power button 30sec long
- Connect battery and AC adaptor to the notebook
- Try to power up the unit.
If this fails, check the memory modules.
Remove one module and try to boot the notebook using one module. Run the test for each slot and module.

Satellite A series does not start up after BIOS update

After bios update with downloaded utility my notebook does not start up.
Did this case covered by warranty?

Im not quite sure if this would be covered by warranty. You should contact the ASP in your country for details but I presume its not covered.
PS: Did you try this workaround:
- remove battery, disconnect the AC adaptor
- wait ~ 40min
- connect both devices again and try to power up the notebook

Satellite 1800-814 does not start if AC adapter is plugged in

Hello,
I've got a problem with my 3 year old 1800-814.
It all began with sudden Windows crashes. Sometimes it ran smooth, sometimes it just hung up. So I decided to reinstall the notebook. My Problem is when it is plugged into pressing the power on button does not start the laptop. Just the green light is on nothing else happens. Sometimes it starts after a wait of 3 or 5 secs. On battery it starts every time. What can I do? Defect hardware or just dust somewhere?
Thanks,
Jens Grieger

Hi,
If you have a voltage tester test the AC adapter and see if it has the right current voltage, which is written on the adapter. If it does, plug the adapter into the portable and move it around, see if the light turns on and off while you are moving the ac plug(near where it plugs in to the computer, to see if it is a loose ac harness inside the computer). Does the computer randomly turn off if you have the battery removed? Or do you notice that it suddenly switches to battery power and back to AC adapter while the adapter is plugged in? Could be the adapter. Check that first. If that is good, then check the adapter plug(located on the back of the computer, where the adapter plugs in) to see if it is loose. If you find that it is loose, you can take it to an Authorised Service Provider and have them fix it. I hope this helps.

Satellite A200-24B Wont Start

I've had my A200-24B for almost 2 years now and the problem i'm having is driving me crazy.
My laptop will not boot at times. All the LEDs come up, the Satellite LED on the bottom left lights up as well. But there is nothing on the screen.
Doesnt matter what OS i use and I've even tried installing the latest version of the BIOS. Nothing.
I can see the hard drive led blinking, and i can even hear the Vista startup sound.
I have to switch it off manually by pressing the power button manually. Even this doest work sometimes. I remember doing the startup-shutdown routine upto 10 times.
The problem now is that Windows 7 goes to repair mode automatically. This never happened with vista.
I even tried changing RAM chips in vain.
Please keep in mind this happens at random and I've have not been able to recognise a pattern.
Any help will be appreciated.
Its still under warranty.

>Its still under warranty.
Can you see Toshiba welcome screen or enter BIOS settings?
In my opinion you should not play too much with it. Put original Toshiba recovery DVD and install recovery image, if possible. Test it with factory settings and if there is some problem contact nearest service and let them repair your notebook.
Satellite A200 is not newest notebook model and I can imagine warranty is valid for next few months only.

WebAnalysis does not start after workspace is set on Windows Authentication

I've used [doc Hyperion System 9.3.x Configuring the BI+ Workspace for Single Sign-On (SSO) with Internet Information Services (IIS) [ID 1100096.1] to configure SSO for workspace users. It works fine. Though since then the WA service does not start anymore. The error message which is raised sounds very very familar but still I am not able to tackle it. The message in the log or the analysis console is "[WARN] [STANDBY] ExecuteThread: '1' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' com.hyperion.analyzer.utils.general.HYAUtil - Wait for workspace [
[WARN] Timer-2 com.hyperion.analyzer.utils.general.HYAUtil - ."
I am very sure it had something to do with rights/ permissions, but also after playing around with IIS and ntfs permissions for hours I can't get SSO en WA both working at the same time.
As soon as I set my workspace aplication in IIS on windows integrated, the SSO is working but as soon as a I restart the WA service it fails to start. When I set the workspace application IIS on anonymous the WA service start fine but then the SSO is not working anymore.
It drives me crazy.
Hopefully its a small matter for you to solve!
Thanks in advance.

Dont know exactly whats happened but I presume something went wrong during the update procedure.
If you will be not able to start the notebook in the safe mode or to boot the notebook then user the Toshiba recovery CD to gets the notebook working!
