Satellite A205-S4777 Won't start up

My Toshiba laptop wont start up. I dont know why =(.  The model is Satellite A205-S4777. IF someone could help me.. i would be grateful thanks.

Hi
Maybe something went wrong during system restore and this is the reason why the windows OS refuses to boot up.
Try the HDD recovery!
Press F8 at the beginning.
Then choose Repair My Computer and then HDD recovery.
This will start the HDD recovery process which allows you to reinstall the OS
I hope this would solve the annoying issue

  • Driver Problems on Satellite A205-S4777

    My Satellite A205-S4777 is showing a problem with the network adaptor and the mass storage controller.
    Can anyone provide a link to a driver download to it?
    I have tried the automatically search for software but cant find it.

    Hi mate,
    since your machine is from USA, you should refer to the american drivers download site: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
    Please search there for the drivers you need because you wont find any drivers on the european sites.
    Greets and nice weekend

  • Satellite A205-S5804 won't boot.

    My computer Satellite A205-S5804 won't boot.
    It won't run on safe mode, and it won't run the system restore.
    It remains black with a cursor, if anything at all.
    How do I get my computer back on?

    Hi
    Youve got a cursor which is flashing in the upper left corner?
    In such case you should check of the HDD has been recognized by BIOS!
    If the HDD is listed in BIOS then I would recommend checking the HDD using the drives fitness test:

    To run the drives fitness test you must download the appropriate creator or image and create a self-booting media.
    Check it!

  • 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 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.

  • Satellite L40-139 won't start

    ?02-19-2014 06:41 PM - edited ?02-19-2014 06:45 PM
    Hello, i have a problem with SATELLITE L40-139
    the thing is when i press power button, hard drive diode starts to flash, diode on cd-rom is lighted and the screen is black. I noticed that electornics in the CD-ROM makes a sound tick in the same way the hdd diode flashes (when it flashes i hear a tick form cd-rom, yes i unfolded whole notebook).
    I can only say that i connected HDD to my PC and it's working., well fan isn;t working too but i think it will start, after some time (like always it did)
    Now lets say about notebook crash circumstances: That was a year ago, it fell from 1 inch (such height ;]) i saw that ribbon cable that was connecting touchpad to the mohterboard was broken, and my computer diidn't start, i thought theres a problem, but i forgot about it and left the notebook for over 9 months (with disassebled hdd, cd-rom and battery) then i decided to try to switch it on.
    And viola! it works it boots etc.
    So after a month of being happy i got drunk that i couldn't sit on chair and i decided to lie with my laptop on bed, i just lied down and put notebook on my stomach and it crashed (freezed screen) i decided to reboot it, but it won't start.
    Heres a video with what i get during powering it up: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC0pGBBVwJk] (not luckily my phone fell into mud and lags when i record videos)
    Some people suggested that i should connect external display to see if theres any image, but the result is still the same. (Screen does not even power on)
    Maybe someone could help me fix it without sending it to customer service.
    Cheers.

    I think the notebook overheated or something like that
    Maybe its just an RAM problem and therefore it would be useful to test the unit in connection with new, tested RAM modules but this is only an idea
    As Dr.Lamp already said, in worst case it might be a motherboard problem and this would mean that notebook fix would be a costly affair.

  • Satellite A205-S4777 - XP does not recognize HDD

    Hi!
    I recently have buyed a new Toshiba A205-S4777 satellite with Windows Vista home premium installed
    and i noticed too many errors in Windows Vista and the pc is very slow so i decided to downgrade to XP
    I want to install directly Windows XP but the installer does not recognise the hard drive or more exactly the controllers!
    I nLited the Sata drivers in the Windows Xp Sp2 i have bought in the microsoft.com site!
    Everything worked fine.
    The installer recognised the Hard Drive and the installer finallased fine!
    But here' s the problem when windows loads and try to switch on it gaves a kind of blue screen unreadable one!
    And restarts and if you let it it does all the day the same!
    I am afraid i do not nLited the correct drivers.
    Is there anybody that heve downgraded this model ?
    Thanx

    Hi
    Possibly you used not right SATA driver ?:| Who knows
    The point is that there are two different Intel Matrix Storage Manger versions which support different chipsets.
    I dont know what chipset your notebook supports but you should check this and should check also the Intel Storage Manger description and should check what chipsets are supported.
    Additionally you should take a look here into this Toshiba doc:
    [How to integrate a SATA AHCI driver in a Windows XP Setup CD|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]

  • Satellite A105-S4164 - won't start only blank screen

    Hi all,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4164 laptop that won't start.
    I thought that perhaps there is a problem with the battery. I took the battery out and then hooked up the laptop to the electrical outlet, made no difference. The blue lights in front the laptop, come on, but I don't hear any noise from the mother board or the fan. The laptop is purchased in July of 2006 and it is out of warranty.
    All I see is the blank screen.
    My guess is that the mother board must be replaced. I also had kept up with Symantic Anti virus and also windows XP upgrades prior to April 1, 2009.
    Thank you for your feedback.
    Seyed

    Can you see a picture on an external monitor?
    Well I think in this case the notebook should be checked by notebook technician. You should contact an ASP and ask for help. This would be the best way because the technician can make sure what parts are faulty.

  • Satellite Pro 460 won't start with new hard drive in

    I recently got a Satellite Pro 460 but it had no hard drive in.
    It starts great with no drive in but as soon as I put a brand new hard drive in it won't start.
    I thought that it might be to new a hard drive so I took my old working drive out my old Toshiba Satellite and still it won't start.
    Any one got any ideas why this is and what can i do about it

    It sounds like 80GB is too large for that model, I really doubt the BIOS and Chipset can support more than 8GB HDD. 8GB may not even work.
    Here is some information regarding different HDD modes and limitations: http://www.adminxp.com/hardware/index.php?aid=129
    504MB - limitation where the system is limited by the compatibility with the values of the BIOS system and the ATA interface by help of using the CHS mode. This limitation is valid for older computers 286/386/486. (1024 cyl 16 heads x 63sectors/track x 512 = 528,482,304bytes - 504 MB). In many cases special programs will help (Disk Ontrack Manager - Seagate, Disk Wizard - WD). Some operating systems can have problems with this software support and can have higher requirements on your knowledge of the OS and used programs.
    2GB - Limitation of the maximal value of the FAT16 file system partition for DOS and Windows 9x. Some older computers cannot address more than 4095 cylinders (4,095 x 16 x 63x 512 - 2,113,413,120 bytes)
    4GB Limitation of Windows NT - Partition with the FAT16 system cannot be higher than 4GB - Fdisk cannot be used for creating, but the Disk manager is used (Disk management in Windows 2000)
    8GB - Limitation of the BIOS system. For the support of larger capacities you need extended functions of the BIOS system. Limitations valid for the x86 computers and some motherboards with Pentium and Pentium II processors. Some other operating systems must know how to use the extended BIOS functions (Extended Interrupt 13). We can use Windows NT 4.0 as an example where you need an updated disk driver or the Service Pack. (OS - DOS 6.xx and lower, Windows 3.x and lower and some other older OS do not have the support of the Ext. Int13).
    8 GB - Limitation of the FDISK program in the DOS 6.22 OS.
    ?? GB - Possible problem with disks larger than 67GB under Windows 9x... See article WD800
    32GB - (65535 x 16 x 63 x 512 - 33,822,351,360 bytes) other limitation of the BIOS system.
    68GB - Possible problem with disks larger than 67GB under Windows 9x... See article WD800
    137GB - Limit for the ATA specifications (28-bit addressing for particular sectors - 268435455 sectors - 137,438,952,960 bytes)
    2,2 TBytes - 32-bit addressing used by new operating systems (in Windows 98 by help of the FAT32 file system).
    144 PetaBytes - a limit for new ATA specification using 48-bit addressing, in peparation. Maxtor, Microsoft, VIA, Compaq and other companies under name Big Drives participate the development. The standard should be implemented and authorized by the ANSI NCITS T13 Technical Committee organization (www.t13.org) in the prepared ATA/ATAPI-6 standard (see www.maxtor.com/bigdrive)

  • Satellite L500-1DT won't start

    Hi
    My Satellite L500-1DT laptop won't start it goes into the start-up repair procedure automatically viewing the diagnostic and repair details it says it cannot determine what the problem is.
    If I select the advanced options I am asked to select a key board but then I get a message that says you must logon on to gain access to the repair functions and all I can do then is reboot.
    If I press F8 and try safe mode I just get the same repair features. I don't know what to do to proceed as all the options take me to the same place. Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    When you press F8 at start up can you see option Repair my computer?
    Have you created recovery DVD?

  • Satellite P100-286 won't start anymore

    Hi,
    I have a P100-286 which I don't use very often but today I tried to switch it on and all I get is a flash from the lights near the speakers and the power light comes on for a few seconds then nothing.
    The battery light is lit up red but it also won't start if I take the battery out a connect it to the mains?
    Is it likely the laptop is dead or could it just be the battery?
    I have only had it a few months and don't use it very often so the battery has not been under much load

    Hmm sounds not good!
    Try this firstly;
    Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor for about 20min.
    After this short period, connect the battery and the AC adaptor again and try to start the notebook.
    If this simply procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country for a notebook check.
    Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

  • 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 P300D-110 won't start-up normally

    My P300-100D won't start-up normally.
    It hangs after showing the announcement that Windows is being started.
    First I have to start-up in Safe-mode, and if I'm lucky it will start normal after choosing 'restart".
    The strange thing is that this problem only appears after the laptop has been shut-down for some time.
    If I start up short after a shutdown, there seems to be no problem. I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium with SP1.
    Anyone any idea?
    Tnx in advance!

    A couple of things to think about or try in order to burrow further into the problem:
    1/
    If you hibernate or go to standby rather than shut down, what happens?
    2/
    What is "a long time"? We could be waiting "a long time" for your reply to #1 above. I was wondering whether your CMOS battery was not holding its charge or something. That's a long shot.

  • Satellite L40-14N won't start up if i install two 2GB RAM modules

    Computer won't start up if i install two two gb ram modules,can i install vista 64 on this computer to overcome this problem,have upgraded bios.or is there something else i can do.it also wont work if i put a 2 and a 1 gb ram in.
    Any help would be apprecated
    mansy

    No, Vista 64Bit won't solve your problem. The fact is, that this notebook model only supports a maximum of 2GB Ram in total. So, you can only use one of your 2GB memory module.
    If you do so, notebook will boot up again.
