Satellite L505D-LS5006 Toshiba Laptop will not start up

I own a Satellite L505D-LS5006 laptop from Toshiba. A few days ago, I attempted to start the computer up, but when I pushed the power button, it would look and sound like it is turning on, but wouldn't. The cooling fan runs and the disk I have in the drive spins but nothing appears on the monitor and the computer's amber colored light signaling something is loading does not light or blink. The wireless networking light also blinks and then stays off. When I called Toshiba's help line, the guy told me to remove the battery and press the power button for 10 seconds, replace the battery, and try it again. When that didn't work, he said to try it again but with only having the AC adapter plugged in, after that, both the battery and the AC adapter plugged in. None of that worked. I'm sure nothings wrong with the hard drive since I was working on it offline the very night before when I placed it on hibernation mode and then placed the computer back in it's bag. I also know I need to replace the battery in it as the computer PC Health Monitor told me I have a "Poor" battery. Please help me with this situation, there are important things I have on this computer that I need.

I'm not a tech support agent, but it sure seems to me that it's time to arrange a repair. If you want to recover data first, you could try removing your hard drive and connecting it another PC before repairing the laptop.

How do I fix so I can start my windows.

Hello -
Try this:
- When you receive the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section, click Restart.
- Press F8 repeatedly as your computer begins to restart. This triggers the Windows Advanced Options menu.
- Use the arrows on your keyboard to select Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.
(Also, You can try Safe Mode and do a "System Restore" from there.)
***Last Resort, you will have to edit the registry and this may prevent your computer from booting***
- boot your system and tap away at F8
- Select Safe Mode
- After Windows loads into safe mode.
- Start >> Run >> “regedit” Press Enter.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- Look for the GinaDLL Key
- Select and delete this key and this key ONLY. DO NOT delete the entire Winlogon folder of keys.
- Close Regedit with the RED "X"and reboot the machine

HELP urgently needed: My Sandberg FireWire for Laptop will not start on my T60

Let me start with information on my T60:
OS information: Microsoft Windows XP
OS version: 5.10.2600 Service Pack 2
Processor: x86 Family 6 Model 14 Stepping 8
Memory: 3.135.856 kb
BIOS version: 2.09 (79ETC9WW)
Machine type-Model: 1951A47
I have just got a new Sandberg FireWire for Laptop, a PC Card with 3 6-pins connectiont. After inserting the card in the PC Card slot, the Windows Device Manager tells me that there are problems with the card. Looking at the 1394 Card Properties the status says:
"This device cannot start. (Code 10) - Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."
The troubleshooter did not solve my problem. I have tried disconnecting, re-connection, shut down Windows and start again etc.
At Sandberg Help Desk they tell me that I have two slots in my laptop, one with a 16 bits bus and another with a 32 bits slots, and I should use the latter. It seems that I can use the lower slide only in my laptop and I cannot push the card into the upper slide. There is not enough room for it.
Here is what I found on Lenovo's support site on my type & model:
PC Card
Conforms to the PC Card Standard 95
Type II slot
Both the 16-bit Release 2.1 card standard and the 32-bit CardBus card are supported.
Have a look at these screen captures.
What should I do to solve my urgent problem!?

Sounds to me like a driver configuration problem. Maybe something bad happened during driver install. I would recommend uninstalling the device from device manager by right clicking on it and hitting uninstall. Reboot the computer. Have a go at it again. Also, test your pcmcia port functionality by finding and plugging in a different card. See if that works. It might need repair.

The status right now is:
The PC Card reader works on my T60
If I use a Firewire PC Card it will not start - as described above (on T60)
The PC Card work properly on my T61P - and I succeeded importing a video file from a digital camera using the Fireswire PC Card.
So what does a wise man do in this situation??
Please help me as I urgently need to know how to solve this serious issue!!
Have you got an idea? Can I import the video in another way??

Hi Kalashalula,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with system not powering ON after shutting down on your ThinkPad T410.
Please let me know have you performed power drain option?
Which version of BIOS installed in your system?

Toshiba p200 will not start

Hi,
Please advise. My Toshiba p200 just won't start. With the power cord in (it works as I've tried it on my other toshiba laptop - and the battery is ok) there are NO LIGHTS and pressing the on button makes no difference.
I've tried taking the battery out and pressing the on button for a minute or two, then reconnecting the power/battery and this makes no difference.........there is just nothing. The laptop worked perfectly last time I used it.
Any ideas gratefully received.........hoping to avoid an expensive trip to a specialist. Is this likely to be a dead motherboard?
Thanks
Rikky

dokie, you just gave me an idea.
op, do you have a multimeter. If so, you can do a few things to determine where the power is, is not, and measure for proper voltage, continuity and such if your game.

Toshiba C655 will not start up

I have a Toshiba C655 with a good (tested) AC adapter that will not charge the battery nor will the AC connected light come on when the AC adapter is connected. I tried the twisting the case trick to see if the power connector on the laptop might be loose but that did not work.
What other testing can I try I seem to not be getting any power to the laptop. I have tried this with and without the battery installed.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I fear it's the motherboard at this point.

Laptop will not start

even after several attempts of the laptop trying to start and analyze itself. I have an HPG60 , s/n 2ce910cdyt with win vista.Any ideas on hw I can start it?

Hi,
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu. Select the Bios option ( usually f10 ) and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.

Downloaded and installed on my HP desk top works fine, tried to do the same on my Toshiba laptop will not work and can't close without restarting PC.

I have been using the Beta 4.0 on my desktop for over a month and have not had any major problems. Mostly just getting used to the layout of the page where controls are like tools etc. Occasionally when trying to go back to normal scree from full screen it would start showing sections of my desk top through the page in pixel blocks or sections. Since I reinstalled Windows 7 and reinstalled Beta 4.0 this hasn't happened.
I decided to go ahead and install the Beta 4.0 on my laptop and it acts like it is installed and when I click on it to open it it opens the start page but the busy spinning symbol just keeps spinning in the address bar on top. I can't do anything after that except close the page. Then when I try to open the older FF browser it says FF is already running. The only way I have been able to get it to load is to restart the PC. I haven't thought to try task manager until reading the questions and answers on this site.
When I go to uninstall programs the 4.0 is listed and I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it 3 times now with the same results. I did this on different days.

Toshiba laptop will not boot up

Hello.
A couple days ago my younger brother (in a fit of rage on a video game he was playing on the laptop) slammed the laptop shut and tossed it on his bed. I took the laptop and tried turning it on and got nothing. I have reached a screen where it asked to either "Start windows normally" or with Windows repair and choosing to Start windows normally will only give me a black screen for a few seconds and then start over again asking me which option to choose. I have tried choosing the other option and all I got was a black screen with my cursor and nothing more. I have tried many solutions online and so far none of them have worked. A friend of mine told me to "revert the system settings" but I couldn't figure out how to do that. The laptop screen was already cracked from previous encounters with my younger brother and we use an external moniter. I tried resetting my laptop to factory settings by reading somewhere to hold 0 (zero) when I turn the laptop on until it beeps but I got this message:
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 083)
Copyright (C) Intel Corporation
For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.2.7(11/02/10)
Check cable connection!
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key.
I have no idea what any of that means but I do not have a disk for my laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys!!

It sounds like it doesn't see the hard drive. It's possible that the drive was disconnected. Many models have a small door on the bottom that you can remove to access the hard drive. You may want to check that it's connected securely. If you don't know what you're looking for, try doing a Google Image search of a laptop hard drive.

Itunes update required restart, now my laptop will not start up

So I downloaded Itunes 8.0 and when it finished it gave me a dialog box that said i had to restart to make the changes effective. I said OK, but instead of restarting my laptop, it shut it down. I have tried many times to start it up,and NOTHING is working. I called HP and they could not fix it and wanted me to ship it to them. They will do a system restore which will erase my 8000 songs and photos. Please help I am running Vista and there seem to be a lot of problems with this update.

It is a laptop, and the only thing it does is the lights flash on for maybe a second, and then it turns off. I managed to get it to turn on, but the screen was completely black and the keypad was unresponsive to all keystrokes... HP wants me to send it to them and they will do a system restore which will wipe out everything.... Very bad news for me.

My Dell laptop will not start up

I have my older Dell laptop that shut down the other day and I thought the battery had just ran all the way out, plugged it in left it to charge and when I went back it would not power up at all. My son's new laptop had this issue and the tech support had me press and F key repeatly and I think either hold down the power button or press it and let go? I wanted to try this with my laptop but can not remember what F key or the trick with the power button. Help please, hoping it's not gone had current work and family pictures on it.
Thanks

Dear sir I m using the Dell Laptop Inspiron N 5010
My Laptop battery has got expired from last 6 months and i m not getting time to replace it.So I am using by simply plugging in power.Two days back i was forced to shut my system down but since then whenever i am trying to switch on the system it asks to starts windows normally or by repair. Whichever option i give to the system, it doesn't last more than 30-35 seconds and gets shut down. I have tried more than 50 times by all means.
I tried all of the options as below but all in vain and the problem persists. Please suggest me any concrete solution apart from that given below as these all tactics I have tried
I would suggest you to perform the following troubleshooting steps which may resolve the issue:
1.Disconnect external peripherals like printers, to check if any of the external devices are causing the issue.
2. Also, perform flea power on the laptop. Remove the AC adapter, battery and any external peripherals connected, now hold the power button down for 10 seconds to drain static power. Restart the system and check if issue is resolved.
3. Check if hard drive gets detected in BIOS. To enter BIOS, shut down the system and keep tapping F2, on the Main screen of BIOS, you will see the status of the hard drive. If it is not detected, I would suggest you to reseat it. Refer to the link for removing and replacing hard drive: http://bit.ly/ZysMdy
4. If the hard drive gets detected in BIOS, try to boot the system to Safe Mode. To boot the computer in Safe Mode, please switch on the computer and start tapping the F8 key which would take you to Advanced Boot Option screen. Using the up and down arrow key, select Safe Mode to boot the computer into Safe Mode.
5. If you are not able to boot to the system in Safe Mode, perform clean boot. Click Start > type msconfig.exe in the Start Search and hit Enter. On the General tab, click Selective Startup, and click to clear the Load startup items check box. On the Services tab, click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and click Disable all. Now restart the computer in normal mode and check.
6. If you are not able to boot the system to Safe Mode, boot to Windows Recovery & try system restore outside windows environment. Refer to the link: http://dell.to/1137HoH
7. The issue still remains run Start Up repair. I would suggest you to run Startup Repair using the Windows CD. Insert the Windows CD and shut down the system. Once you power on keep tapping F12 key to start from CD/DVD. Choose Repair your computer after Windows Loading files. Now select Startup Repair.

Toshiba Laptop will not link. Help!

I am working with a -- WRT129N -- Linksys router on an HP main box. Everything about the installation went will and my internet, into the HP box is through the router without any problem.
When I try to link my Toshiba to the network, wirelessly, I keep getting a form that asks for:
User Name: Is this the username initially established when setting up Linksys.
Password: Is this the passward initially established when setting up Linksys. (Replacing "admin" for both)
Logon Domain: What is this?? Whatever it is it only accepts uppercase characters.
I'm on the verge of returning this brand new Linksys and replacing it with D-Link, which was the solution my son took a few months ago.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

If you are getting there error message on your Wireless Computer (Additional Logon Information is required). You need to change some settings on your Router, avoid to get this error message on your computer.
Login to the Router setup page and then click on the Wireless tab, and below you need to click on the sub tab "Wireless Security" and you need to change the Security Level from "WEP" to "WPA Personal" and in the "Passphrase" you can create your own personal password.(It should be of minimum of 8 characters) and click on Save Settings...
On your Computer click on Start - Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - and under task you need to click on "Manage Wireless Networks"and remove all the Wireless Network list under it and close all the windows.
In the system tray right click on the "2 Computers" icon and select "Connect to a Network" locate your wireless network and click on Connect, When prompted for "Security Key or Paraphrase" input your password and click on Connect...Once successfully connected to your wireless network, check if you are Online.

Keyboard is not working and laptop will not start up

I have an HP 2000 Notebook PC which dropped and the inner screen cracked. I had a family friend repair and was told the keyboard is no longer working and when you turn on it the black screen goes from "Diagnosing you PC" to "Preparing Automatic Repair" CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST!!!!!! I do not want to pay geek squad if I can fix on my own

If you already had a family friend try and he was not completely successful, then you need to have someone do it who really knows how. It is your choice of who that will be.
You can download the diagnostic softpaq and install it to a usb flashdrive. Once it is on the flashdrive you can boot to it and then test the keyboard. That way you will know for sure if the keyboard is not working. Perhaps the keyboard ribbon cable was damaged during the attempted repair. Ribbon cables are quite delicate.
We are here to help, but suggesting repair services is not part of what we do..
