Satellite C655 does not boot

Have a Toshiba Satellite C655 which suddenly stopped working. Cannot get the system to boot. Tried pressing F8 for safe mode and get nothing, F11 for recovery does not work. 0 does not work, only F2 and F12 works. Do not have a recovery disk.
Win7 Home Premium on system and tried using Win7 Pro but will not repair the strtup files because it states not correct version.
Please help if a solution is available other than sending back to support.

F11 is not for recovery. You must try to enter Advanced boot options.
When you start your notebook press F8 *SEVERAL TIMES.*

  • Satellite P100 does not boot up using Intel WLan 5300

    Has anyone replaced the Satellite P100 with one of these Intel WLan 5300 card.
    Using being when I plug it into the pci slot and boot up my lappy, nothing happens.
    However when I plug my Intel Wlan 3945abg card back in everything boots up fine.
    Whats the problems??

    Hi
    I think you used simply a not compatible WLan card
    As far as I know the notebook has been already equipped with a miniPCI WLan card and according to your posting the notebook is running properly using the previous WLan card
    If you want to solve this issue -> use the supported WLan card!

  • Satellite L850D does not boot up - black screen

    ok.. my wifes L850D was having problems with black screening on boot up after the toshiba screen.
    I ran a few different utilities including a reset.... this all started about 3 weeks after the win 8.1 upgrade.
    Rang tech support who nicely informed me that because we put 8.1 on it it voided the warrenty. (nice guys btw)
    So refused to help.
    So went and reloaded Win 8 from my DeII, just to see if it was a problem with hardware of software.
    (yes i know but it was to be only temp).
    It booted fine, sat there for ages without a problem.
    It wasnt until i downloaded the toshiba drivers, (yes the right ones) did a reboot and hey presto; black screen again.
    That would kinda imply its a problem with the toshiba drivers?
    Ok so the wife decided screw it, put Win 7 on it.
    Rebooted with the disk in. sat and sat. google finally informed me i had to disable secureboot, and put uefi to csm.
    Ok fine, went into the bios, disabled secure boot, changed uefi to csm and reboot.
    Now i get nothing; screen wont come on at all, fan starts, cd rom kicks over and nothing, shuts down instantly if i push the power button.
    I've pulled the battery out, external and internal, let it sit for a half hour and still the same thing.
    Any ideas???

    The whole story is for me a bit confused so let me start from the beginning with some basic stuff.
    In your posting you didnt write which model do you have exactly (L850D-xxx) and I cannot check notebook specification but I presume this notebook was delivered with preinstalled OS, probably Win8.
    Notebook with factory settings has preinstalled OS that includes all necessary drivers, tools and utilities. One of them is Toshiba recovery media creator. Using this tool you can create recovery media (DVD or USB) and use it to reinstall original OS if there s some problem and HDD recovery doesn't work.
    Best option now would be to use such media and install original recovery image. Have you created this recovery media?
    Generally speaking when you by new notebook you are not obliged to use original OS. You can install whatever you want and it has nothing with warranty. You can install any OS, especially all supported operating systems. So I don't understand how you could get such info from technical support.
    Anyway, try please to connect your notebook to AC power supply and start notebook again. What happen exactly? Can you see Toshiba welcome screen? Try to press F12 several times. Any reaction there?

  • 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

  • Toshiba Satellite P870 upgraded to Win 8.1 does not boot

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P870 with Win 8 preinstalled. Soon after upgrade to Win 8.1 and basically successful removal of “watermark error” (secure boot activated) the machine stopped booting completely: after pressing the power button ventilator sound
    is heard with periodically changing loudness as well as clicking sound from the speakers. The screen stays black. Attempts to start the PC through pressing F2 or zero buttons did not produce any result. Neither did I succeed with recovery discs I created before:
    the system simply does not boot from the disk. It looks like I tried all options offered by Microsoft and Toshiba. I would be happy to roll back to factory settings.
    Could someone give me hint what to do next?

    Hi,
    For the issue, let us know how to remove the “watermark error".
    Meanwhile, I would like to confirm if you could access the BIOS.
    I suggest you update the BIOS version to test it.
    If you want to repair the startup issue, you should use windows 8.1 recovery discs or installation discs.
    Meanwhile, if you cannot access the BIOS, it may be caused by hardware, I suggest you contact the Toshiba manufacturer for further help.

  • 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.
    Remove the hard drive and place it in an enclosure accessible from a desktop via USB.

  • Toshiba satellite c55t-A5123 . Does not boot any devices.

    I have accidentally formated the pre-installed OS in my laptop. Now I try to reinstall it again with win8 installation disk but it does not boot the DVD . i tried to make a bootable USB too but same thing happened. Anyone here can help my problem? 
    Is there any way to solve it.. Please I really need your help . Thanks in advance :-)

    Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly installed.
    If you failed to create recovery media, obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
    See the instructions in the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 56 of the User's Guide.

  • Satellite Pro A100-080 does not boot - stays dark after 3 beeps

    Hello,
    after one week off, the Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-080 (PSAASE-00G004GR, 4 GB RAM) of my children does not boot anymore.
    When powering on the system, it *beeps 3 times* (one longer, two short beeps), then the HDisk light shortly blinks "blue" and then nothing more happens. A/C, Power and Batterie LEDs are "blue", which seem to be the OK state.
    No other useful help, as the display stays dark.
    We had upgraded to 4 GB MEM (Kingston) one year ago and I already tried the former used 1 GB (included when purchased) or the 2 x 1 GB replacement from December 2007, but same status with those modules. So it is not
    a defect memory.
    I hope it is not the mainboard, probably only the included NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 graphics adapter?
    Does anyone have an idea, what might be the issue?
    Thx for a short help.

    Hello
    Generally speaking this kind of beep codes are hardware related or with other words hardware is malfunctioning. So I think its a hardware problem and an ASP should check your notebook to identify the reason of this.
    On the Toshiba website you will find a list of ASPs:

  • Satellite P840/016 does not boot from CD or DVD

    Using F2 enabled the BIOS to boot from optical drive, saved and re-started. Finds the bootable CD created from the same laptop using the repair disc from Windows 7 recovery but does not boot.
    Tried Ubuntu DVD which works as boot disk on all other laptops - still does not boot.
    Changed the setting in BIOS to non-secure - same problem.

    Thanks - tried this pressing F12. Message appears on the screen to press any key to boot from DVD. Key pressed, the DVD is read and then delay with blank screen. The laptop goes back to start screen and than goes to boot from the HDD. Also tried making USB as bootable. Pressed F12 and selected USB as boot device. Reads the USB and after a period of time boots from HDD.
    Checked DVD driver - it is the latest.
    Operating system is Windows 8 pro.
    RAM is 8GB, processor is I7 and HDD is 1 TB. Laptop is only 3 weeks old

  • New MBP i5 does not boot after hard disk swap

    Hi there,
    I received my new i5 MBP today. After booting it once with the installed HDD to check if it's ok, I exchanged the hard disk for the one in my Late 2008 Macbook Pro. After doing this, my Late 2008 Macbook Pro boots fine with the (new) hard disk from the new i5 MBP, but the i5 MBP does not boot with my old hard disk.
    To give you some details:
    - I have installed 10.6.3 on the (old) hard disk that's not booting.
    - The i5 MBP boots fine from the installation DVD
    - Disk utility finds and can read my hard disk, no errors
    - PRAM NVRAM reset did not help
    - when booting in safe mode, I can see the system stop booting after or while loading Extensions.mkext
    My guess is, it tries to boot and load the wrong Extensions for the new system (CPU? GPU?). I have no idea how to fix this.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Focx,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Inserting the drive from an earlier model MBP will probably not work. The version of the system you have on that HD is designed for earlier hardware so when you put in in your new machine it's going to be recognized. What I'd recommend is re-installing the disk that came with the new machine and of course putting the 2008's disk back in the old machine. Then use Migration Assistant on the new machine and migrate your data from the old machine into the new machine.
    This will provide a much more stable system and should work just fine.

    Roger

  • X102e - Hard drive does not boot into Windows

    Hi, I was trying to reinstall Windows on my X120e.
    I tried clean install with Windows 7 Professional, but the hard drive does not boot into the Windows once it has done the first phase of the install(you know, the copying part)
    After the restart done by Windows, it goes as far as "Starting Windows" but does not actually boot into the Windows.
    When I try to install Windows with another HDD, the device works well, but I can't swap the HDD because it is not 7.5mm think HDD.
    Is there any possibility the HDD will work trough any software-level process? The HDD works fine as external HDD when tested with external HDD adapter, and installs well. only problem is that it fails to boot

    Thank you for reply.
    This is not exactly the issue. I was talking about the HDD originally installed in the PC.
    The PC successfully recognizes the external disk I used to install the Windows, but the problem was that I did not boot into the "First boot" screen, which basically works on the already installed data.
    As of now I have installed an SSD and is working fine. strange part is that HDD works just fine when I use it as an external HDD via adapter. Strange huh?

  • Reset Password - System does not boot from DVD

    My System: Macbook Pro - 2Ghz Intel Core Duo - OS X - 10.6.8
    Hi everyone,
    i forgot my password. So i want to boot from install DVD to reset the password. Unfortunately my macbook pro does not boot from DVD (10.6.3).
    I press c all the time...but sometimes the macbook pro throws the DVD out...and sometimes nothing happens.
    The DVD drive is working fine...
    Any other idea?
    Thanks in advance.
    Fabian

    So when you boot holding option it shows a padlock with a password field? Is that correct?
    In that case we're talking about the firmware password, which you can't reset via the install disk. There is only one way to do this, I'm not certain if one is allowed to divulge that information publicly - might want to try googling "reset firmware password"

  • Macbook pro does not boot after upgrading ram

    I have a macbook pro late 2011 which runs with mavericks operating system . I have tried to upgrade my macbook to 8Gb. Macbook does not boot when the two ram slots are filled with 4GB ram but runs well when the slots are filled with 2GB ram. When i try them individually with one slot of 2GB ram and another slot with 4GB they run perfectly which shows status ok in the RAM info. What could be the problem . 

    Around here, most of us recommend only Crucial and OWC for RAM because it's guaranteed to work with Macs and it's what most of us have. If I were you, I would return the RAM and look at purchasing RAM from either Crucial or OWC. If you can't get their RAM to work then you'll know that there's some trouble with your actual slots.
    Good luck,

  • KT6V + sempron 2800 does not boot when BIOS saved

    Hi,
    I have just bought a new sempron 2800 to be use on a KT6V LSR. I plugget in my KT6V but was not recognised well (but all was working ok with windows). To be recognised, I have flashed with the last bios of MSI my motherboard... and now I have the following problem:
    - I clear CMOS, then boot. It comes ok (processor detected and set a 1200Mhz)
    - Then CMOS has a bad checksum: I enter setup, then load default, save.
    - I reboot: the computer does not boot up.
    If I re-clear CMOS I can re-enter setup and modify frequencies or other options. But when I save my modifications, then the computer does not reboot anymore (I have to re-clear cmos again)...
    I tried to apply the configuation I found in this thread:
    http://forums.amd.com/lofiversion/index.php/t69536.html
    It says that SDRAM must be at 333, FSB at 166 and multiplicator at 12. When applying this settings, it does not boot (the leds indicate that the chipset initialisation (the first step) does not pass).
    If I just load biios default, the leds indicates that it fails when checking the memory (second step of boot). I suspect that it's a problem of memory (but my memory was working well before !): it's 2x512 of DDR 400.
    Any suggestion is appreciated :D . I spent several hours trying to configure the bios but it does not boot..
    (I'll also try to find help on AMD forums...)
    (Some extra info: my PSU is 26A for 12V, so it seems that it's not due to the PSU (as I read in the FAQ of this forum).
    Thanks,
