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.

Satellite L650 - ODD does not read most of CDs or DVD's after BIOS update

While copying DVD's I was asked to do a bios upgrade from the software that came on my laptop, so i thought coming from toshibsa it should be safe. I closed all my applications and let the update happen, restarted my pc and tried to continue to copy my dvd's.
Now my dvd writer does not read most of my cds or DVD's,originals as well.
I have managed to get hold of my previous Bios version after quite a battle before the update to see if i can go back to my old version but the exe file runs a program that says the version is older then the one i am using so it will not load it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have two days to copy 100 DVD's for a client and i am unable to do this now,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L650 laptop running windows 7 64 bit 8 gigs memory with a SSD Hard drive

> i can go back to my old version but the exe file runs a program that says the version is older then the one i am using so it will not load it
I dont think that BIOS is the problem here the point is that the CD and DVD support details are stored in the CD/DVD drive firmware and NOT in the notebook BIOS.
So in my opinion the BIOS update is not the reason for your issue.
I think you should check if laser lens cleaning would help you to read the disks.
Use an cotton wool tip and alcohol fluid to clean gently the laser lens.

Satellite L100-113 does not start after memory upgrade

Hello.
Our integrator bring to our company memory modules KVR800D2S5, but notebook doesn't start :(
I read manual - this notebook supports 533 PC4200 memory modules.
But SO-DIMM 533MHz will be delivered only in a month...
What memory modules we can install to Toshiba L100-113?
Thank you.

Hi
I think the notebook does not power up due to a faulty or not fully compatible memory module.
Please check this 3rd party memory website:
[Memory for Toshiba Satellite L100-113|http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=22360&ft=m&st=3]
As you can see the Satellite L100-113 memory can be upgraded up to 2GB (2x 1GB) and you have to use the DDR2 533MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM
Regards

Satellite M-series does not start correctly

Hello,
I have the following problem: suddenly (don't know why, nothing changed) Satellite notebook shows black white screen with about the following:
(sorry, translated from german):
windows did not start correctly... due to software or hardware change.. pls choose last functional configuration if mistake was due to power shut down...
But this does not work, also all other options (start windows as normal, start in safe mode...did not work.
No idea what happenend !
Problem:
Actually moved to another country and forgot or lost recovery CD ! already contacted Toshiba for new one but maybe anyway somebody can help?

Hmm. Stupid situation. If possible try to obtain Microsoft WXP installations CD to see if you can start installations procedure properly and if you can use repair option too.
It is not easy to say what is wrong there but I just hope there is no problem with HDD. Try to use original recovery disc.

Satellite A660-11M: Does not start with 8GB of RAM, but works with 6GB

Satellite A660-11M:
I upgraded my RAM from 4GB (2x2GB) to 8GB (2x4GB). When I start the computer I can see in the BIOS it reads the 8GB of RAM. However, when it boots up, it does not go past the blank DOS screen (just before starting Windows).
If I remove one of the 4GB & replace with a 2GB (so I have 6GB in total) it starts ok.
Does anyone know how can I get it to work with 8GB of RAM?

Hey,
To be honest I never heard about SanMax RAM modules...
In my opinion the problems is related to your RAM modules Not compatible to your notebook or defective.
Can you test it with high quality modules from Kingston or pretested modules from an authorized service provider?

Satellite A300-15A does not start up after Alcohol program installation

Hi...
I bought Satellite A300-15A yesterday and after completing the Vista installation process, I tried to install "Alcohol" but my notebook shutdown and now I'm not able to start notebook.
It is not starting in any mode.
I forget to make recovery discs. I think Alcohol is not compatible with Vista. Error which i receive is below.
Can anyone tell me the solution?
Please help urgently
"A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: blah blah... "

Sounds like a familiar problem to me, as I had the same one with the Daemon tools. After installing those tools I couldn't start my Windows XP any more. I guess it somehow mixed up some drivers or registry entries, but not sure about that.
Ok, you can try to deinstall the tool by first starting Vista in safe mode (press F8 before Windows boot up).
You should be then able to enter Vista without problem.

Satellite A305D-S6848 does not start up - Windows failed to load

SCREEN SAYS "Windows failed to load because a required file is missing, or corrupt.."
file: ntoskrnl.exe
status: 0xc0000098
I DO NOT HAVE AN INSTALL DISK AND DONT KNOW HOW TO GET SYSTEM BACK UP AND RUNNING??
CAN SOMBODY PLEASE HELP ME ???

Hi
It seems to be a Toshiba US notebook series and therefore the recovery process might be different as on Toshiba European notebooks
However, the recovery procedure should be mention in user manual. Check this
Try firstly this:
Power up the unit and press F8.
Then choose Safe Mode and try to boot the Windows in safe mode.
If it does not work, try Repair the Computer option.
I think the notebook should be equipped with HDD recovery. This means that you could recover the unit without the usage of the recovery disk.
As mentioned this is US notebook series and as far as I know you have to press 0 button immediately after the notebook has been powered up.
This should start the recovery

Satellite A210-1AO does not start

Hello,
I could use a little help. My 4 years old A210 1AO worked perfectly until today (except for changing the HDD a couple of months ago). This evening, I've tried to power it on, but almost nothing happens. The "on" LED is on, the battery and the power LED also, but I get no image. The fan is on (and after a couple of second powers down, like usual), the ODD works, and that's all. I've tried to start it without the RAM modules, without the HDD and nothing changed. I removed the battery and pressed the "power" button for 30 sec, still nothing. And the curious thing is that now the laptop powers also using the "browser" and the "media" buttons.
Does anyone have a clue what could have happened?
I also have to mention that I've taken good care of the laptop, used a big notebook cooler with a 20 cm fan, and used it mainly for watching movies and surfing the internet (for games and other stuff I use a PC)
Any idea will be highly appreciated.
thank you all in advanced,
Adrian

First of all its pity to hear that your notebook does not work anymore.
I dont think that flashing the BIOS from USB flash memory would help you.
First of all the notebook should power up even if the BIOS is not up to dateso in my opinion its not BIOS issue definitely.
Secondly you said that you tried to boot up the unit without memory modules
You should try to boot up the unit with one memory inserted into the slot and should repeat this with two modules in each slot.
But to be honest, Im not quite sure if this would help you it looks like a serious hardware problem and possibly the motherboard is affected :(

Satellite L775-S7111 does not start.

My Toshiba Satellite L775-S7111 with Windows 7 does not boot up at all. I have already tried all options provided in "What should I do when my Windows 7 laptop does not boot up?"
I had also ordered a new power adapter; still the problem persists. Could it be an issue with the battery or Ac to dc converter?
I had purchased this laptop on 7/9/2012. So I believe it is still in warranty period. Would that be useful?
Thanks in advance for any quick solutions.

Hi! Here's a great explanation of the battery and the adapator!http://www.ehow.com/info_10060603_can-laptop-work-battery-plugged-outlet.html
It's best to read your manual (How to restore back to factory). I've been getting into trouble because Toshiba has so many models and they can't seem to settle on just which way to do that. I have a system repair disc that I made. I boot from it and follow the wizzard's directions. You are supposed to be able to restore back to factory by shutting down your pc and then holding down the O(zero) Key and the power on button. I have never tried that.
PS maybe someone will post on here and give you the page number in your user guide. I tried to make a sticky about this, but I guess staff didn't think it was a good ideahttp://www.ehow.com/how_6797569_restore-toshiba-factory.html

My Satellite A notebook does not start due to missing files

I have a Toshiba Satellite and at the start of every month is ***** out.
I brought it brand new about 2 years ago and at the start of every month it will not go into windows.
It wont even let me into safe mode or anything and it is not a virus as I expected it to **** out tonight.
So I did a virus scan and nothing showed up and then half an hour later it died, right on schedule. Im sick of this as each time it dies I have to use the recovery disk and it wipes everything. I have on there and after 2 years of having to restart everything all over again each month. Im ready to "accidentally" drop it in the pool and claim insurance on the dam thing. I dont get me wrong its great till the first of every month and without warning it just goes really slow, and when I restart it, it says a file is missing and wont boot up.
The weird thing is........... it is always the same time of the month and since today is the 4th it died so at Im on my 8s computer typing this while my Toshiba is restarting all over again.
IF U THINK, YOU CAN TELL ME WHY THIS IS HAPPING I will love u forever.
Im just so sick of having to reload everything and like last month I expected it to kill itself. So I did all the scans and cleaned it up.
But no it still died right on schedule..........hmm plz help

Hi sorry can't actually give you a solution to your problem but would say sounds as if you never thought to buy extended warranty on it, also if it did this within the first year what did Toshiba say about it as surely you asked them to look into it and if not, sorry but why on earth not? I can see why you thought it was a virus but sounds to me(not technically trained but using logic) that if it does it at the beginning of each month then its something wrong with the actual computer that deals with the clock and might be worth emailing Toshiba themselves and explain it to them and see what they say or take it to a computer shop and explain and ask them to look at it and see if they can find out what is causing it as sounds as if it's been doing this from the time you first bought it.

Satellite L20-217 does not start up

Hi,
can anyone help?
I have a Satellite L20-217 and it just stopped working on the other day.
It was plugged in with the AC-adapter, all of a sudden message came on screen saying my battery was low then within a minute the whole machine stopped working.
Ive bought a new power pack and its still not turning on. Ive took the battery out for 2 minutes etc.. and still nothing; theres no sound and no lights.
When the battery is in and the adapter is on trough the mains I still get nothing but if I press the power button the left hand LED flashes for a few seconds then nothing again.
I really need to get this working as Iam a tattoist, piercer and hairdresser and it has all my designs etc. on it.
Thx for any help given

Hi,
no it won't start up at all. Battery in or out.
Like i said before when battery and mains in and i press the power button, the left LED flashes orange for a few secs and then nothing.

Satellite C660-2Q8 does not start with 8GB RAM

hello i have a toshiba satellite c660-2q8 laptop,
when i got it it only had 1g of Ram i now have got 8g of RAM for it but as soon as i fit it the laptop starts like normal with the BIOS screen then i get a black screen with a flashing - and thats it.
After some time it will restart and do it again.
I have contacted the place i got the RAM it.
The RAM is right and there said it was the BIOS that needs updating but it is version 1.50 and will not update cos it is up to date if i put the old RAM back it boots fine
can some one please help

Its NOT BIOS issue but the RAM modules are NOT compatible.
Even if the guys says that the RAM module are right, obviously they are NOT
The 4GB Genuine Toshiba PC3 DDR3 (1333MHz) Memory Module PA3918U-1M4G should be OK and should work properly.
Also the Kingston modules are great and provide good quality.
Cheaper modules might not be fully compatible or would not work properly.

Satellite Pro A200 does not start up

Hi
I have an A200 with XP PRO installed.
After a routine defrag and restart the laptop when booting back up gets to my screensaver page then makes the noise off shutting back down.
No toolbar appears just goes straight tomy log in page and i have to shut it down?
When I try to restart in any of the three safe modes, again I get to the log in stage press enter the screen flickers twice and I get the login page again?
I have taken out the Ram stick and HDD to see if anything is amiss but they both seem fine..
Xmas eve and no laptop. Yeah I know. Get a life.
Can anybody help?

If you cannot even start your notebook in safe mode it is very bad situation.
What you can try is to obtain Microsoft installations CD and try to boot up with it and use REPAIR option.
If this will not help I really don't know what you can do aside from clean OS installation with recovery media.
Do you have some important data on the HDD?
