Satellite E45t won't start for few hours after shut down

I have a brand new Satellite E45t-4100. After shutting down, I am not able to start the laptop for few hours. Upon pressing the power button, say after 15 minutes, power button LED lights up but nothing is displayed on the screen. I have disabled the sleep mode from power settings as I was facing the similar situation when trying to wake up the laptop from sleep. Although, when restart is chosen, laptop restarts without any trouble. 
Please help.

Hello,
I have the exact same problem as the OP with an E45t-a4300. Purchased almost a year ago (Oct 30, 2013) from Best Buy. Worked perfectly for about 2 months after purchase and then this problem arose. Started when I'd put the computer to sleep, it wouldn't wake up. The computer would just shut off when I'd go to wake it up. When I'd hit the power button to restart, the fan would briefly spin, power indicator/wifi light turns on, then it shuts down again. I would repeat this cycle- sometimes only a few times, sometimes for almost an hour- before the Toshiba splash screen appeared with the "computer wasn't shut down properly"  and the computer would restart and run the standard diagonostics. However, at first on a cold start or start from hibernation it would start fine but after awhile that stopped, too, and any starting attempt was met by the same non-start/shut down cycle. 
This went on for about 3 months with me basically rarely shutting down the machine. I searched forums at the time and found nothing regarding this problem. Then one day in mid-March, the start-up problem miraculously disappeard- it fired right up. It started perfectly fine and worked with no problems whatsoever for 6 months, including waking from sleep and hibernation, until about 2 weeks ago. Now the same problem is back- it won't turn on with multiple start attempts and shuts down when you try to wake from sleep or hibernation- showing the "computer wasn't shut down properly" on the splash screen and going through the test process when if finally does start. Also, I'm now unable to enter the BIOS page on start up when pressing F2.  I also have disabled rapid start, etc after the problem began.
I've owned quite a few laptops over the years (including Toshiba) and work with computer based systems for a living. I REALLY love this laptop a lot (yes, even with 8.1) but this problem is just disheartening. I truly appreciate any help.
Thanks!!

  • Is there any problem for my iphone's battery to keep my charger connecting for few hours after the battery is full?

    s there any problem for my iphone's battery to keep my charger connecting for few hours after the battery is full?
    Sometimes i sleep and the my iphone is charging and of course the battery became full after two or three hours, and definitely i will not wake up in the midnight to just disconnect the charger, please i need your help.

    This is considered normal use. I think everybody does this, including myself. It's not something to worry about in the least bit.
    Just remember to complete a full charge cycle (allow the phone's battery to discharge to 10%-20%, then charge uninterruped to 100%) once a month and you'll be fine.

  • Itunes won't start-says it has to shut down

    i started having problems with itunes and downlaoded the new itunes. won't start. in the error report it sayd its a compatability issue. when i send the report to ms though, they claim it to be an itunes problem. i could use a lot of help.

    +when i tried to start quicktime it produced the same message as itunes with a little change to it. in the last part of the code it was 1482appcomp.txt.+
    That problem will be causing the iTunes problem.
    So let's try swapping out your existing QuickTime for a fresh copy.
    Head into your Add/Remove programs. Uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    Go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. Does it launch properly now?
    (If, however, you get an error message on any of the install or uninstalls, let us know what that message says. Precise text, please. Include any error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Mac Mini (Intel C2D) boots up 1 hour after shut down

    Roughtly one hour after I shut down my Mac Mini (i.e. LED on the front is off), it boots up again with the chime and everything. This happens at every time of the day and is reproducable. I have not set any schedules (in Energy Saver) and "wake for administrator access" is off too.
    I tried to narrow down the problem by disconnecting every single cable on the back. Only disconnecting the power brick helped
    It's pretty annoying wen I go to bed and the Mac mini boots up just for the **** of it waking me up with a loud chime. I can barely hear it when it's running so I just keep it on for the night until that problem is solved. Any ideas?

    Found something very interesting in system.log
    Looks like eyeTV is the culprit. I'll contact Elgato's support and post here when I get news.

  • Starts for 30 seconds and shuts down?

    Immmediately after last update of Mountain Lion - failed to fully boot up.
    Battery fully charged.
    Power adapter led shows green
    When left alone, after removing battery - holding down poer button >10secs and replacing battery and charger and pushing power button... after a few minutes, it will attempt to boot - screen shows rotating daisy for approx 20-40 secs, chime sounds and shut dow occurs.
    I have put the iBook in the fridge and in 30 mins will try again to boot up, my initial feeling is that there may be a failure of the cooling system?
    Anyone been here? TIA

    Make an appointment at your local App Store for them to check it out for you.

  • Satellite L500D won't start

    Hello,
    My Toshiba Satellite L500D won't start.
    When I start my laptop the three lights on the left light green, the two on the left are not green or red. I hear the coolingfan, no beeps at the startup. When I start the laptop with a systemdisk it's the same, nothing happens.
    I contact the supportdesk and they said that it could be the harddisk, this sounds a bit strange to me because I can't start it with a systemdisk.
    I hope someone can point me in the right direction

    Hello,
    The notebook is my dauther's and I'm pretty sure she hasn't update the bios. She is 14 years old and she does what 14 year old girls do with their notebook. Gaming, hives, chatting etc.
    What she told me is that she had some problems when starting the notebook. It didn't start correctly, she had to push the powerbutton several times, sometimes maybe like for half an hour or so, then suddenly the pc woke up and did start. SInce a few days nothing works anymore.
    The screen stays black and I hear no beeps, just the coolingfan and sometimes a noice asif the hd was trying to start. The coolingfan also doesn't run properly, it makes a sound like an automobile that runs irregular

  • Satellite A100 - Won't start up Windows

    Without changing anything, my Satellite A100 won't start up Windows.
    A screen with with Windows foutherstel (failure recovery) gives two options; start windows normally and start up recovery. When I push the first option, there is a quick blue screen, what disapears too fast to read the tekst. Finally the screen failure recovery comes back. in the other option there is a screen Options for system recovery who's said; Can not start the installated program. Click on Ok to shut down the computer.
    How do I fix this problem?

    Hi hans_3,
    Maybe something has muddled up the Windows registry or some important system files and so you cant start Windows anymore or start the system repair option.
    I think in this case its necessary to reinstall Windows. Therefore you can take the Toshiba recovery disk that brings your computer back o factor settings where all drivers and tools are already installed but it wipes the whole HDD.
    It takes only few minutes and needs some clicks.
    Good luck! :)

  • Iphone 5 cant startup after charge for few hours

    iphone 5 cant startup after charge for few hours, what can i do?

    Hi there Liewminchuan,
    If your phone is still not powering on, I would next try and reset the device with these steps from the article about that sort of issue:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
    First, try to force your device to restart.
    Forcing your device to restart won't erase the content currently on your device.
    You can force your device to restart even if your screen is black or your buttons aren't responding.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
    If it still doesn't turn on, I would next use these steps to see if there could be an issue with the cable, or power adapter:
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
    Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
    If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
    Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
    If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
    If the issue persists, I would next reach out to Apple support directly:
    If your device still doesn't charge or you still see an alert after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    My ipod sank in water by accident for 1 hour, after lay drying for 1 month, I connect it with my Mac, it show a dark apple and began to charge, after few hrs, it showed fully charge, but after I pressed, it became a dark screen, but it shows a dark apple everytime I connect the Mac, what can I do? I will try my best to save it, I love this ipod very much as it's a present from my dear.

    After drying for a month and it's still not working, it's almost certainly suffered hardware damage and will need to be replaced. You can learn what Apple will charge to replace it here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    BTW, you posted originally in the iPod touch forum. It's best if you post in the forum specifically for your product; you'll get the most applicable responses that way.

    "Using Your MacBook Pro
    When you’re using your MacBook Pro or charging the battery, it is normal for the bottom of the case to get warm. For prolonged use, place your MacBook Pro on a flat, stable surface.
    Do not leave the bottom of your MacBook Pro in contact with your lap or any surface of your body for extended periods. Prolonged contact with your body could cause discomfort and potentially a burn.
    The bottom of the MacBook Pro case functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the computer to the cooler air outside. The bottom of the case is raised slightly to allow airflow that keeps the unit within normal operating temperatures. In addition, warm air is vented from the slots in the back of the case."

    This happened to me too.
    I bought Lion and let it download and install.
    I had to leave my computer while the installer was running and when I came back a few hours later it was disoplaying the mac equivalent of a blue sceen: "You need to restart your computer. Hold...".
    I restarted and I get to the login screen, but as soon as I start typing my password I get the beach ball and then tha fans start working like crazy.
    I upgraded from snow leopard and my home account is encrypted.

  • Every time I start my Apple TV it shuts down. I have to unplug it and wait for it to reconnect before I can use it.  Any suggestions?

    Every time I start my Apple TV it shuts down. I have to unplug it and wait for it to reboot before I can use it.  This makes turning on Apple TV a very long process.  Any suggestions?

    That would be very hard to do, as I would have to do a lot of things--including moving furniture to get at the back of a receiver--and I'm not at all sure that the receive could accommodate it.
    The process is like this:  I dial the receiver to the Apple TV input.  The light comes on, like it's connecting, but then the Apple TV goes dark before any connection happens.  Then I unplug the power cord, wait a few moments, and plug it back in.  Then the Apple TV actually connects, but only after a full reboot (setting time, etc).
