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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 C660 will not start - OS not found - where to get install disk?

    I replaced the HDD in my Toshiba Laptop C660 - following a support check indicated the old one was dead. The laptop initially comes up with the Toshiba Logo then starts scrolling and ends with "Operating System not found".
    I do not have a recovery disk / USB. Any helpful advise would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • The function key in my Satellite C660 is not working

    The function key in my Toshiba Satellite C660 is not working except for volume.
    That problem appeared after i changed something in the startup programs and uninstalling as i remember tvap and no button support appears in my start up programs :(

    That unbelievable I did something wrong..
    First of all you have to install VAP. Then reboot the notebook.
    Download and install Flash Cards Utility and reboot the notebook again.
    Now go to Start -> All Programs -> Toshiba -> Utilities -> Flash Cards and restart this software.
    Now the FN buttons should work.
    But before you would start the whole installation, you should uninstall the VAP and Flash Cards and should clean the registry using CCleaner as suggested by some users hare in the forum!

  • 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!

    I am experiencing problem (the installation does not start) when I try to install ArchiCAD 17 Educational on my mac. I am using Yosemite. How can I fix it?

    You need to contact the developer/manufacturer directly to determine if their product is compatible w/Yosemite.  It is not listed on their system requirement website:
    Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
    Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard*
    Note: ArchiCAD 17 is the last version of ArchiCAD to support Mac OS X 10.6

  • -Xmx greater than 180M does not start jvm on a 2gb machine, why?

    Hi, we have developed a product demo shown as an applet that uses the java plug-in to startup.
    The demo requires high amount of memory so we modified the java plug-in -xms and -xmx values in the control panel so more memory is available to the applet. What we can not see is why using values higher than -Xmx187M the applet does not start launching an error message either in Explorer of Firefox telling it has been unable to load the jvm. Using the value of -Xmx180M the applet starts but the out of memory message is displayed very soon as the demo requires at least 700M.
    We are using:
    � JRE1.6_u02
    � IE7. FireFox 2.0.0.7
    � Computer: 2GB Ram, CoreDuo2.
    Does any of you why this limitation in the maximum java heap size?
    Thanks for your time and help.
    Best Regards.

    I don't understand the logic for when it will error out on the -Xmx setting.One obvious idea leaps to my mind - because windows doesn't do it.
    And googling would seem to support that. Search for "currently implemented up to" in the following.
