Satellite L750D shuts down in 2 seconds, can't access BIOS

I have A Toshiba L750D, when I switch on, on turns off within 2 seconds or so. I have tried F2, bios comes up, but then computer shuts down.
I have tried the normal reset procedure, no difference.
I have tried removing memory and trying other memory, no difference
I have tried removing cd, hard drive, keyboard and battery, no difference
Unplugged screen, no difference, shuts down in seconds.
Fan begins to spin, thought this maybe faulty, changed the fan, no difference.
I am assuming this is a motherboard issue? any help appreciated

>I am assuming this is a motherboard issue?
Yes, it looks like the motherboard is affected.
This assumption might be correct since other possible troublemakers have been checked and this did not solve your problem.
Im not quite sure if motherboard replacement is an option in this case since such part is not cheap. I guess would need to check if its an option for you or maybe buying new notebook would be a better solution.

  • Re: Satellite A105 shuts down after 60 seconds (NOT a thermal problem)

    Satellite A105-s4344 shuts down after EXACTLY 60 seconds. The mobo has been removed from bezels and all un-needed devices removed (DVD, HDD, WiFI etc.). Swapped CPU and RAM with known good ones. Swapped AC adapter and battery with known good. Does the same on AC or DC only inputs.
    I have not yet flashed the BIOS (with 60 seconds this would be foolish). But, I am looking into replacing or reflashing with an EEPROM burner. Currently has V 2.0
    I am not sure what genration heat detecting this system uses, but it is a possible cause if it is one of the later generations (visit http://www.topbits.com/how-to-monitor-cpu-temperature.html if you do not know that I am refering to).
    Prior to reballing the north and south bridge, and flashing I figured I would get some input from you folks. Just to cover all bases ;)
    P.S. the first person to ask what OS I am using will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my respect list.

    :) :) :) Best thing I saw in this forum.
    Back to your problem.
    I am not technician but here just my opinion about all this. The fact is that after switching your notebook ON CPU in just few seconds reaches very high temperature. You can switch your notebook ON and just enter BIOS settings and the same should happen again.
    I cannot say for sure if this is 100% thermal issue or not but what else can be responsible for switching off? CPU will be hot in few seconds only. Material change structure with temperature change and I can just imagine some contact will be interrupted.
    On this forum we had many similar reports like when cold notebook starts and runs well but after short time switches off for no reason. Maybe I am wrong but for me it sounds like thermal or bad contacts issue. Lets see what other people have to say about it.

  • Toshiba Satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds!!

    my laptop satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds of booting , i dont know why ?? and i searched for support in the website and didn't find it in the model list, also i don't know why ???!!
    i want to know why it shuts down , and how can i communicate with support

    Yours would not appear to be a US model. We need the Part Number for your laptop, like PSAG8U-05K02C. You can find this on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your laptop. As well, what country was it originally purchased in. In addition, what is your operating system version, like Windows Vista 32bit?

  • Mac mini shuts down after 10 seconds..

    At first today, the CDs and discs kept automatically ejecting and wouldn't read (obviously). So I keep putting them back in hoping it would read or hold something. Then I restarted and the Mac Mini shuts down after 10 seconds of the seeing the desktop. Did I fry it? I did hear a weird sizzling when I put my hand on top of the mini. And is this under any warranty - I bought it Feb. 07? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Any thoughts on that?
    One or two come to mind, not least that if the unit is under warranty now (as it clearly is) and they aren't taking this fault seriously, then buying AppleCare so it remains under warranty longer isn't the right solution - having them examine it and resolve the problem is.
    There's no doubt at all that in the event there is a system with a suspected fault, extending the warranty long enough that the system ceases to function and can be repaired is a good thing, but it shouldn't be necessary to go to that extreme in order to get a problem resolved now!
    I would simply take this elsewhere and have it looked at. While odd noises are sometimes hard to hear in an environment where there are people and other activities going on, and thus it is reasonable to expect diagnosis of them to prove difficult, a system that shuts down of its own accord after a few seconds is clearly not working correctly. To be sure, if it is overheating, then testing it when it's cold is likely to miss the problem, but the description of the fault from the user ought to give enough clues to put the system on test long enough to see what happens when it warms up. If the fault can't then be replicated with a system that is at normal running temperature and under load, then giving it a clean bill of health is reasonable.
    Thus, in your place I would ask them if they did, in fact, test it in that way. Alternatively, write a description of the fault, specifically identifying the premature shutdowns and the circumstances in which they happen (if they still do) and the noises and the circumstances in which they occur (if they still do) and take the system and description to an approved service provider and let them look at it.
    If the shutdowns are no longer occurring, and the noise is absent, then whether you buy AppleCare or not is really a matter of how confident you are that the problem has gone. If you have doubts that the system is running correctly, AppleCare is expensive but at least extends the warranty sufficiently that you can stop worrying too much. Alternatively, if the problem(s) still persist, rather than AppleCare, have the system examined and repaired right now.

  • After updating my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.0.5., it has shut down and i still can't turn it back on!

    After updating my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.0.5., it has shut down and i still can't turn it back on! I can't even install iTunes on my computers! Yesterday evening I updated it but it didn't work, so i tried to reinstall it and there was written that that i couldn't install iTunes on that computer. So this morning I've tried to install it to another computer but it says the same.. Can someone help me, please?

    Are you uninstalling just iTunes?  Because if so, you actually have to uninstall five separate programs, and THEN reinstall.
    Windows XP: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software ... - Apple
    Windows Vista, 7 & 8: Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software ... - Apple
    Follow the steps precisely in those articles.

  • When I try to exit a video on the internet I received a screen asking if I was sure I want to leave. It to not have a confirmation tag. But it has prevented Safari from shutting down. Now I can not turn off my Mac? How do I reset?

    What kind of videos are you watching? 
    You need to force quit Safari, but hitting Command-option-esc, and force quit Safari. 

  • AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN NO SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30  SECONDS PLEASE HELP

    AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN APPEARS WHEN POWER BUTTON PRESSED NO START UP SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30  SECONDS AND REPEATS ITS SELF PLEASE HELP

    As for now, only thing that helped was an archive and install with preserve user settings. Seems after the reinstall of 10.4. everything that was weird has become normal again. I hope very much this state stays on for a while - or ever!
    A comment to everybody: with problems that are common you get a lot of help from friendly users in here, but if like in my situation things get a bit more uncommon than the usual querks and troubles your bound to go through a whole workflow of tests and algorithms - i did learn some new things but eventually I had to go for the ultimate - the reinstall (of course, erase and install would have been more work.) and it's frustrating not to find out how it came to this problem. I wish I could nail it down to something I did mistakenly - i guess I'll find out next time.
    THANKS THOUGH to those who replied.

  • On starting up, my macbook pro shuts down after 25 seconds of booting up.

    Hi there. On starting up, my macbook pro shuts down after 25 seconds of booting up. The time bar comes on for a while before it simply goes blank and switches off without any notification. Battery iappears charged. Could it be a virus? Help please!! O

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

  • My hp dv6700 shuts down after 1 second. i recently upgraded the processor to intel t7500.

    I recently tried to upgrade the processor of my HP dv6700. I upgraded to an Intel T7500 and after reassembling the laptop and trying to power it up, the laptop shuts down after 1 second. The computer turns on, the fan makes a brief noise, and then the machine shuts down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 

    Hey, did you apply thermal paste to the new CPU? It may be shutting down because none of the heat it getting blown out by the fan. The thermal paste is a conductor of heat to allow it to be transferred to the copper which will get blown out of the laptop by the fan.
    I also have a DV6700. May I ask how a motherboard melts down? I have had absolutely no problems with my laptop, and I've had it for 5-6 years.

  • My Macbook used to shut down in 3 seconds. Now it's 15 seconds. Anybody got any idea what happened?

    Hey everyone!
    So I bought my Macbook in September 2010. Since then, it has been working fine and shutting down within 3 seconds. But now, it takes 15 seconds to shutdown. When I click on the shutdown button in Finder, then confirm once again that I want to shut down my Macbook, it goes to the blue screen and stays there for about 15 seconds with a little gray loading circle, then finally it turns off.
    It's been bothering me because I'm just so used to my Macbook turning off in 3 seconds.
    I'm kinda worried.
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    Hey!
    I have tried holding down the home and power button countless of times. It doesnt respond at all. Plug my phone to a charger and hold down the power button and my phone switched on. But it said Activation Required and said connect to Itunes. As e screen remains on the connect to Itunes screen, I disconnect the charger from my phone and my phone went dead instantly. My battery is full btw. Tried connecting to Itunes through my Macbook Pro but iTunes doesnt detect my device and the apple logo flashes for about a few seconds on my phone and then disappear and then came back on again. My Iphone has been connected to my laptop for about 30 mins and the apple logo has been coming on and off for 30 minutes now and Itunes has not detect my device yet.
    SIGHHH.

    Your only option is to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB (as the diagram indicates) and restore using iTunes.
