Satellite L745-S4210 - screen frizzles & reboots by itself

My satellite is about 8 months old.  1st condition was screen going crazy - i had to hard boot it.  next condition was the laptop rebooting itself with no warning - sometimes when entering keystrokes, sometimes when doing nothing.  sent it to Toshiba - they replaced system board.  got it back yesterday.  booted it up - within an hour the screen frizzled and while I was taking pictures of the screen it rebooted itself.  any ideas?

If it's not the physical drive or possibly even the memory, this would suggest software. Have you tried "safe" booting the machine and see what happens. Give it while, run what you can and see if you can reproduce the issue. If the problem doesn't re-occur, try removing all the "startup" apps and registry "...\Run" apps temporarily. (If you would like detailed instructions, please ask). There may also be some services causing this issue, which you can also temporarily disable. Finally, you could try booting from media (USB, DVD, etc.) and just let it set for a while and see if the error occurs. Perhaps it's a thermal problem?

  • Satellite L745-S4210 Headphone Jack

    I had my headphones plugged into the headphone jack of the laptop, and I accidentally stepped on the wire of the headphones, which pulled the headphones out of the laptop. When I went to check the laptop jack, it seems to have been moved out of place, and when I try inserting it back in, it just ends up being loose and not plugging in. The headphones itself have a bent jack, so I'm guessing it ended up dislocating the jack of the laptop.
    Is it simple enough to just open it up and hopefully try to put it back in place?
    Sound still works normally without the headphones, and if I can somewhat nudge the headphone's jack into the jack of the laptop, I can hear about one second of sound through the headphones until it goes back to just playing through the laptop's speakers.

    You describe a part being pulled out and sits loosely, the headphone jack, like the one pictured here.
    No to all of your questions and wishful thinking, even if it could e done, would you trust yourself with a screwdriver and an L-Series ?  Y
    You know that L Series are sought because of their  premium brushed finish, heavier weight and sturdiness just like people who want metal Glocks instead of the plastic version used by commoners.
    You're obviously unqualified to dis-assemble a laptop anyway, the "L-745"  doesn't mean "Lego's"
    It can be replaced with parts from radioshack by a skilled solderer.
    Other alternative is blue tooth speakers.

  • Satellite A200 - black screen when reboot

    I have Satelitte A 200 and I have the problem that when you reboot I should have only a black screen and goes no further. But I do not beep. Only available in one place. I have tried everything but nothing brings order. I wanted to install Xp but it does not work. Help.

    Hi
    You mean you dont see anything on the screen while booting? Not even the Toshiba splash screen?
    Are you able access the BIOS?
    Please check this.
    You could also check this; remove battery and disconnect the AC adaptor. Then wait a little bit (1 hour) and after this short period of time connect both parts again.
    Then try to boot up.

  • Can't recover software to Satellite L745-S4210 with new hard drive

    Was using the laptop when it completely froze. Used power button to force shutdown. When restarted, hard drive was making a ticking noise and got this error message:
    PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM
    No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key.
    Setup utility did not show the presence of a hard disk drive. Assumed that hard drive had gone back.
    Purchased a new hard disk drive at MicroCenter. Toshiba 2.5-inch SATA 640GB drive, the same drive that came in the laptop from the factory. Also used the opportunity to upgrade RAM from 4MB to 8MB.
    Installed new hard disk drive and new memory. Ordered the Recovery Disk set from Toshiba.
    At startup, new hard drive doesn't tick. Setup utility sees a Toshiba hard disk drive. Got the "no bootable device" message. Inserted the first disk of the Recovery package and held down the C key, per instructions. System began to respond but then switched to Windows Boot Manager screen.
    Here are the error messages:
    File: \Boot\BCD
    Status: 0xc00000e9
    Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred
    Reseated both new hard drive and new RAM. Tried again with same result. Reinstalled old RAM. Tried again with same result.
    Now at a wall. What has gone wrong? Is the new hard disk bad? Bigger problem. The unit is outside the factory warranty.
    Any help is appreciated.

    File: \Boot\BCD
    Status: 0xc00000e9
    Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred
    I don't understand how that could appear when you boot from a recovery disc with a new hard drive in place. It implies there is something on the drive.
       0xc00000e9 "Boot\BCD" "unexpected I/O error "
    Maybe try another drive?

  • Satellite A500 - Blue screen - critical errors - reboots!

    This laptop is driving me mad, why did I ever get rid of my other notebook??
    This machine caught my eye, it looks fab, but performance wise it is extremely poor - blue screens and reboots all the time, with critical errors - I've had enough!! Only bought it on 7th Jan this year, and it has done this ever since new, it has to go back!
    And by looking at the posts on this forum the problem appears prevalent, and none of the experts seem to have an answer?? Should I reallybe having to upgrade the Bios and drivers and searching for solutions to try and resolve the many issues with this machine???
    I'm gonna get a refund and buy something reliable, sorry Toshiba but I can't endorse this machine, it has caused me nothing but grief!
    Very upset, especially as this was a gift 8-(

  • FIX: IPad turns on and off in a loop during charging, boots to home screen and reboots

    Ok, after having my ipad 2 3rd Generation for about a year, its bombed out on me,playing on it until battery drained. Didn’t think anything of it, plugged into charge thinking it would be charged by the morning. This didn’t happen.
    It was stuck on the apple sign, booted to home screen and switched off again due to low battery. Continued on this loop for the whole day……
    I searched the internet and it seemed all doom and gloom that I would need to by another one. Then I stumbled upon a forum where the advice so far has worked for me.
    The reason why it gets stuck in a loop is because the IPad was not shut down manually, so therefore keeps trying to boot up soon as it has some battery power. Problem is, its gone beyond a point and now and there isn’t enough battery life to boot to main or home screen after apple logo.
    The remedy is quiet simple, follow these steps to get the ipad to home screen to power it down so it has sufficient time to charge up and boot normally and get off the endless loop.
    Plug into wall socket to get it charging.
    Wait until the apple logo appears and wants to boot up.
    QUICKLY hold down home button and reset/ sleep button at the same time until it reboots.
    Release buttons now. should now power down and reboot
    Repeat step 3 at least 30 to 40 times which is about 10 minutes in duration everytime you see the logo appear on the screen.
    Now Let IPad boot up fully, should see home screen with about 2% battery life
    QUICKLY hit the rest/ sleep button down for about 2 to 5 seconds.
    Swipe the screen to when slider appears to switch off the ipad.
    This will now power down the IPad which now will not reboot by itself so it can now charge without any interruption’s.
    Allow battery to charge for a least an hour or two without trying to put it on.
    Switch the IPad on
    You should now have about 10 to 20% battery Life
    Power it down again by holding the reset/ Sleep button down again and swipe the screen to power down, let it charge fully to 100% now which will take few hours
    Enjoy your IPad again
    Lesson learnt. When your battery power is low, dont wait for it drain completely, rather power the pad down manually and let it charge when there is only about 2 to 4% battery life left.
    Hope this guide helps people with the same problem as I had. Took me about 2 days of research and searching until I found a solution that worked. Hopefully this will assist anyone going through the same pain, and possibly not have to buy another one which seems to be the case when people take the pad to an istore with the same issue.
    Cheers,

    I tried to restore using recovery mode it give error 4013, also tried the same with iMac with my friend again error.
    Let me give little more details:
    1. After iOS 8.2 upgrade, 2-3 days often 3-4 times a day it used to restart again and again then will get Home screen.
    2. Also at times it happened, it boots again and again left the device as it is then it comes to Home screen.
    3. Lastly it did the same behavior but it did not boot up, but keep booting again and again apple logo is shown then restart
    4. Tried to get into recovery mode, windows PC error 4013, now in the recovery mode.
    My Battery was in good condition, when it happened it was ~80% now may be very less did not charge until now.
    I read somewhere in the forum keep re-starting manually again and again, someone said since it did not shutdown properly there is a problem, please help.
    The device is 1.2 yrs old ONLY.
    Best regards
    Prabu

  • Satellite P30 - Blue screen after reinstall OS

    I just reinstall OS (Windows XP) on my older laptop Toshiba Satellite P30, but after first reboot (required to continue XP configuration) the DOS blue screen appear (System Has Recovered From Serious Error).
    The laptop cannot load Windows XP at all. Do you have some idea whats going on ?
    Thanks :)

    Hi,
    This looks like a hardware issue. You should check the HDD and RAM.
    http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT
    With the Drive Fitness Test you can test your HDD. Download the CD image, burn it on a CD and boot from it. Then you can the HDD.
    On the same website is a user guide if you want to know more.
    http://memtest86.com/
    Memtest86 is a diagnostic tool to check the RAM. There you can also download a CD image.
    Its easy to use. Run the test 3-4 hours and then you will see if the RAM has some errors.
    Good luck!
    Bye

  • The printer m1214 mfp reboot by itself

    Product name: Hp LaserJet M1214nfh MFP
    O. S. : XP SP2
    Error message: Printing fax
    Changes: nothing
    Description of the problem: When the printer start up, the word " initializing ..." appear on the LCD
    after that the Ready screen appear for  10seconds after that " printing fax " appear for 3 seconds after that the printer reboot by itself and repeat the same things again and so on.
    i make update the firmware but the problem still exist.

    Hello,
    Thanks for the post.  With your M1214 behaving as such, I might recommend a product reset which should take it back to factory defaults.  I've included a link below that will assist with that process.  If that does not resolve the issue, we might look at getting the printer back to a ready status (if possible) and then running the FW update again.  Do not interrupt the FW update until complete.  Good Luck!

  • Satellite L40 (PSL48E) - Doesn't reboot after BIOS update

    Hi,
    My problem is that I update the BIOS and after that the machine does not restart. ( BIOS corrupt ? )
    After the BIOS update (Satellite L40 PSL48E) the machine reboot and with the F2 key I open the BIOS setup.
    I check the BIOS version ( 5.50 ) and exit the BIOS setup.The machine must be reboot now.....
    No Way, the machine does not restart . No screen only the powerled lights-up.
    Is there anything I can to fix it on my own like a BIOS reset ?
    Thank you for cooperation.

    This is strange because after the BIOS update you could go into the BIOS.
    However, try to remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor. Wait one hour and then put the battery in and connect the AC/DC adaptor. Try it again.
    If it doesnt work there is something wrong with the BIOS or hardware and should be checked by a notebook technician.

  • Moving ios6 icons more than 5 screens soft-reboots iPhone 4S

    Ok this is a weird one. Just upgraded to IOS6 and didn't want Passbook on my front screen, so I tried to move it to my 'less used apps' page - 6 screens over. Each time I do, it either moves, or zips back to where it was when I drop it, and when I hit the home button, my screen dims, and I get the apple logo for about 10 seconds before the unlock screen comes up. The screen remains dim until I lock the phone and unlock it again, at which point the screen is the correct brightness but the Passbook icons is back where it was.
    So I tried it with other icons - same deal - 5 screens or less and it's OK. 6 screens or more and I get this weird 'soft reboot' of the phone. I've tried power-off rebooting but it still does it. ios6 bug on iPhone 4S?

    I encounter the same problem.
    From my investigations, the reboot only accurs when moving icones from the last screen, whatever the number of screens is. I moved a lots of icons from all screens but the last : no reboot. I move only 1 icon from the last screen, I have a soft reboot. I now wait for bug fix...
    This certainly occurs on iPhones prior iPhone 5, and certainly has to do with the number of icons counting...
    It's the first time I see iPhone reboot by itself since my first iDevices experience.. Too bad !
    By the way : I have to move a lot of icons because I lost all my Icons arrangments and folders during the iOS6 upgrade.
    I'm overall very dispointed with Apple's last iOS release, which to me all but a quiet transition.

    Tried that and it still isn't working. Not sure if it's software thing but I just noticed when I swipe up my control center the flashlight option is not available as well. I'm not sure why this is. I have a 5s with the newest software. That's for the suggestion

    Buttons pressing themself...
    Also, my main screen is permanently zoomed in...
    suggestions?

    Double tap the screen with THREE fingers, that should get it back to normal again.
    Then go into Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > OFF.
    Not too sure about the keyboard and random button presses though.  Back it up and restore from iTunes, see if that fixes it.
