Satellite P105-S9337 will not start

I just had a customer bring in a Satellite P105-S9337 laptop. She said that at one point she did a system restore and then someone called her and they did something in her system - details are pretty sketchy there. Anyway, when I got it, I tried to boot it up, there are no beep codes; there is no flicker of video. I have tried to boot with the hard drive in; hard drive out; with a boot CD, without; reseated the memory modules; put a different hard drive in but still no video. I even tried hooking it to an external display - no video. I know in a desktop, I would look at the video card and/or mother board - any other thoughts on this?? Thanks.

Just try a system reset and see if that makes any difference. Power off the computer, unplug the AC from laptop, remove battery, press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds, replace battery and AC, power on, if/when you see the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, and try to reboot into Windows.
Please let us know if it makes any difference. Good luck.

New Satellite Pro L300 will not start up or operate

My new laptop will not start operating. I have done everything by the book in regard to installation, but once it asks for my user name and password, it goes to a page where it says "Preparing your system". Then after about 10 mins it goes back to the sign in page with my user name and password, and repeats the whole thing.
How do I fix this? The laptop was bought new from ebay as a gift.

Getting a DOA is so random that it probably won't matter when you place your order. Right out of the box,the machine should start up instantly when you press the power button. Yours doesn't.
It sounds like it arrived with a dead battery and the power adaptor is not charging the battery. Even so, it should start up from the power adaptor alone. It could be that the power adaptor is not being recognized.
If you still have it, you could try resetting the SMC, which could possibly get things working again:

Your satisfaction is important to Apple. If your machine has problems out of the box, they would rather give you a replacement immediately than to mess around with one which obviously has a problem of some sort. The one you return will go to the repair depot and the problem will be found and repaired if possible. Then it goes to the online store and is sold as a refurbished machine.
A power issue like yours may be simple to fix, or it may not be. The last thing you want to do with an expensive brand new machine is to find out it is defective in some way and have to send it off for repair. You would much rather just give back the defective machine and get another one that is not defective, and I think Apple realizes this.
There's really no reason to wait before submitting a new order--you can do it at your convenience.
Good luck!

Toshiba Satellite A305-S6872 Will not start up

I have the above mentioned computer and it is 2 years old. Last year in January the hard drive crashed and had to have new one installed at Best Buy. Now it will not start up. When I turn it on the Toshiba screen displays with F2 and F12 options. Then the creen goes black and the following displays:
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI-E Ethernet Controller v1.07 (080320)
PXE-E61: <edia test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
I insert the recovery CD and it says windows loading files then has a screen that says Selecting a Process: Toshiba Recovery Wizard or System Recovery Options. I choose System Recover Options and then choose English language and US keyboard layout. Then the following screen comes up: Select an operating system to repair .... If you do not see your operating system listed click Load Drivers to load drivers for your hard disks. When I choose Load Drivers I do not know where to find the OS driver. When I click Next and choose Startup Repair it says it is unable to fix the problem automatically.
I don't want to choose Toshiba recover Wizard because it says it will erase everything. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

The exact same thing happened to me yesterday Feb 5!!!
During normal use of windows 7 the computer crashed and went through the same boot procedure as described by the previous poster.
Now I can't do anything with my hard drive. I tired everything. I even tried restoring it from the backup image that I have, but it said that it cannot find hard drive!
I do not have Toshiba Recovery. Can I download it from somewhere?
Does anyone have any suggestions? After booting from Win 7 Recovery Disk, I even tried fixing the MBR and partitions, but I would always get an error message that the system doesn't support the software I tried using (guessing because it's 64bit?)
Please, any suggestion is most welcome and appreciated!!!
Thanks,

Satellite A105 Reboot, will not start up

Hi....
Laptop belongs to my wife and this morning I am told that it will not start up.
Problem is .... Begins to start and shows symptoms of previous post by tommy1980murf.
Quick flash of a blue screen with text, then moves onto options for Safe Start, Safe network start ...etc...
No matter which optoin is chosen the laptop goes through the process bringing up the Windows XP logo then abruptly shuts down almost like a reboot. Process automatically starts over again and again.
Options on immediate power up are F2 and F12.
Does anyone have any advice to offer?
Thanks in advance for your help ...Andy

WIll it boot into Safe Mode? If so right click on the My Computer Icon and select Properties. Click on the Advanced Tab, then the Setting sbutton by Startup and Recovery. Now make sure that the Automatically Restart checkbox is NOT checked then OK your way out. Now when the blue screen appears the system will stop giving you a chance to read it and tell us EXACTLY what it says. Not something like, EXACTLY WORD FOR WORD. The lines you will be needing to post will be the ones in this picture http://www.pcstats.com/articleimages/200409/BSOD_2.gif that state:
STOP: and a string of NUMBERS (they are zeros not letter O's)
and the
Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL line.
Also look to see if they list any specific driver, file, or program.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Satellite L450D-13U will not start at all

Yesterday the screen on my L450D when blank and then the machine closed down.
Now it will not start at all.
There are no lights on display when the power cable is attached.
When the start button is pressed all that happens is there is a momentary flash of the On light (not sure if that's the right name) and the DVD light.
You can also hear the fan starting up but that immediately goes off.
That's all that happens.
I've tried without the battery, tried discharging the battery.
Has my laptop just died?
Is there any hope or should I just move on?

I will agree with checking your RAM.
The best way to do so before you buy anything is to check each stick.
Remove the battery and AC cord, and press the power button several times to make sure the system is fully discharged.
Once it is discharged, ground yourself and pull the RAM cover. Remove the top stick ONLY. Plug the laptop back in, and try to boot it.
If you get nothing, swap the stick you pulled for the one that is still in the system, and try again.
After that, if it still does not want to boot up, take it to a shop. It could be something as simple as the BIOS battery being dead, or a burnt out power mosfet.

Satellite M115-S3154 will not start Windows XP

Opened new post per Jerry concerning my 3yr old Satellite: M115-S3154 w/ Windows XP Media Ctr Ed 2005
Yesterday upon start up, I immediately rec'd message stating:
- "windows did not start successfully - recent hardware or software changes might have caused this"
- it gave options to restart in the 3 different Safe Modes, last known configuration and start normally - none of these worked. I've tried numerous times yesterday and today with absolutely no luck.
When I shut laptop down 2nites ago, it seemed like it shut down extremely fast?! Today I realized that battery yellow light was on and thought maybe it wasn't charged enough. Charged for over 2hrs, have a blue light, but still had same experience as above.
- I removed and replaced battery - no luck
- I removed and replaced HDD - no luck
I just now, followed your advice on pressing F8 immediately after start - however, there is no repair mode or whatever you mentioned under the Windows Advanced Options Menu for this laptop - what I do have is
= the 3 different Safe modes - tried all these, no help
= Enable Boot Logging - tried this, no help
= Enable VGA Mode
= Last Known Good Configuration... - tried this, no help
= Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only) - tried this, no help
= Debugging Mode - tried this, no help
= Disable automatic restart on system failure
= Start Windows Normally - tried this, no help
= Reboot - tried this, no help
= Return to OS Choices Menu
I attempted the Microsoft Knowledge Base article suggested by Jerry -
Advanced troubleshooting for general startup problems in Windows XP - but no help.
I also tried MS article 310353 - How to configure WinXP to start in a "clean boot", but under Method 1, the downloadable guided help would not run on this computer i'm using to figure out the Toshiba problem. Method 2 of this guide requires you to be able to open windows - pretty dumb since I can't get windows to run in first place! So I'm still stuck.
I do have the original Toshiba Recovery and Applications CD - I have many files and pics that I do not want to lose.
thanks roo

Satellite M115-S3154
there is no repair mode or whatever you mentioned under the Windows Advanced Options Menu for this laptop
That was for the Windows Vista thread you jumped in to.
= Disable automatic restart on system failure
Did you try this one? Instead of a reboot, it should give you a blue screen with the STOP error and possibly the file responsible. We could use that information.
Ihave many files and pics that I do not want to lose.
If the hard drive is still okay (there's no reason so far to doubt that), we should be able to rescue the files.
One way is to put the hard drive in an enclosure and plug that into another computer.
You can also make a bootable CD with tools. Let us know.

Satellite L655D-S5050 will not start

Hello! I have owned my Satellite L655D-S5050 for a little over a year, and this is the first major problem it has given me. I'll try to explain as best as I can. A few days ago, I was using my computer as I usually do, and closed the lid when I was finished using it. I have my computer set up to hibernate when I close the lid. I came back about 20 minutes later, and found that my computer was still on, but the screen was blank. I tried several different things, but I eventually had to do a hard reboot. When I rebooted the computer, the screen remained blank and the fan ran at full speed. The BIOS screen never appeared, and Windows never started. The HDD access light never lit up, and I could not hear any HDD activity occurring. I tried pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot, but it didn't do anything. I had to do another hard reboot. After pressing the power button again, the same thing happened, and it happens every time I try to start the computer. This is where I am currently at. Has anyone else experienced this before? Anybody have any possible fixes? Thanks in advance!!

I just got my computer to start up!! What I did was similar to the "towel trick". I turned on the computer, closed the lid, and then covered the computer with my bed's comforter. After about an hour or so, I noticed that the fan was no longer running full-speed, but was still running. I held down the power button to turn off the computer, then pressed it again to turn it on, and was greeted by the Toshiba logo! After trying (and failing) a startup repair, Windows is now running as it should. I am now pretty sure that this is being caused by a hardware failure. Based on what I've heard from a few other Toshiba Satellite owners, this appears to be the result of the solder joints on the southbridge failing, and therefore breaking the connection between the southbridge chip and the motherboard. I truly hope Toshiba looks into this, and if it is found to be a manufacturing defect, will respond properly. Anyway, I am sure that this will happen again in the future, but for now I can use my computer again! I'll let you all know what happens. EDIT:I tried restarting the computer, and it once again failed to start. After the towel trick, I got it running again, and am currently using my computer! It is obvious that this is just a temporary fix, but it's better than nothing.

have a nice day

Thank you all for your help!
I bought a new hard drive and reinstalled everything.
I got a smart drive USB casing for the corrupted hard drive and connected it to the laptop.
First it couldn't read any thing on it and it wouldn't run a scandisk. So i run a scandisk on 'my computer' which included the connected smart drive.
Took a long time ... went to bed after 2 hours and when i got up and restarted the laptop, the smart drive was accessible and i could transfer all my files etc.
I don't know what it did over night, but it worked.
I reinstalled the old hard drive to retrieve some program data and it runs on windows again and everything was nearly like before, just the system restore wouldn't run and after a scan disk etc it still won't run.
great.
have a nice day

Satellite P105-S9337 -partial sound issues.

For some strange reason, I am only getting sound on certain things, like windows start up and shutdown chimes. I recently restored the machine using the vista discs from Toshiba. Media player will not make any music either,nor will playing a dvd. No issues in control panel that are showing up. No viruses or spyware, did sweeps for both. could a windows update suddenly cause a problem, even if no updates were done? Unless 1 snuck by when I wasnt looking somehow. I am going to try to resinstall the sound drivers, and see if there are any updates here,but wanted to know if anyone had any ideas? I was also having this issue before the system wipe. thanks for any advise. Joe Vista home premium IE7 4g ram,spysweeper and zonealarm sec suite running.

I recently restored the machine using the vista discs from Toshiba.
If this still occurs just after restoring the hard drive's contents to factory fresh and before installing anything or even going on line, then you should expect a hardware problem.
It's the gold-standard test.

System PI 7.11 will not start because of R3INLPGM error

Dear experts,
our PI 7.11 sap system will not start on the backup machine. We have two AS/400 machines using IBM iCluster.
On the source node the PI system starts without any problems. If we switch over to the target node,
the PI system will not start. Only the two subsystems R3_<instance> were started and the SAPSTRSVR jobs
ran under QUSRWRK.
In the pool files from SAPSTART we found the following errors:
QPRINT:

Settings (and other Apps) Will Not Start (Metro)

This morning most Modern Apps will not start on my system, including the Settings app. It seems to be a DCOM failure and seems directly related to this old thread.

This is a current Windows 8.1 installation, full up to date on patches, and the problem still occurs after rebooting. I checked for newly installed patches, etc. and the only thing recent was the Windows Defender definitions update.

That matches almost exactly with the referenced thread. But that thread never seemed to give a set of steps to resolve the issue (other than doing a Refresh which would be a catastrophic waste of time, reinstalling my whole development environment).
I really would appreciate some help resolving this issue. If I'm in the wrong forum, please move or suggest a more appropriate place.
Thanks,

HP TouchSmart application will not start

We purchased an HP IQ 526 TouchSmart desktop with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit machine approximately two months ago. We use Clearwire to connect to the internet. About a month ago the HP TouchSmart applilcation stopped working. It will not start. Every time we try to start it we get the following error message:
HP TouchSmart Calendar has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Sometimes it says it's the HP TouchSmart Notes has stopped working or one of the other TouchSmart applications. I went to hp.com and updated all of the software for the TouchSmart application and Windows Vista. And I reguarly use Windows Update to ensure my OS is current with Microsoft security updates. I also updated the firmware. After these actions and rebooting many times the application would still not start. At this point I contacted HP customer support. We uninstalled HP TouchSmart, then reinstalled. This didn't work. I continue to see information events in the Windows Application Log almost every minute regarding HPTouchSmartCalendarNotes. They are typically the following messages over and over:
Reminder clock elapsed event is successfully fired.
CheckReminder() is executed successfully.
ShowReminder() is executed successfully.
After Fetching the XML nodes, checking for each node is done successfully in ShowReminder()
Events in Events.xml Before Showing Reminder<DataRoot></DataRoot>
I still have a case open with HP support and they said uinstalling the OS and reinstalling is likely the next step but I have to believe someone else has run into this issue or HP has a QFE for this issue. I really do not want to uninstall the OS and reinstall it. This has become very frustrating as the HP TouchSmart application is the primary reason we purchased the computer so my wife can manage our photos and music collection via the touch screen.
If anyone has seen this before or has a solution I would love to hear about it. We are considering taking the computer back if we can not resolve this issue.
On a related note and this might be a separate issue I continuously get HPTCS stopped working messages. I've searched the internet for what HPTCS.exe is and what is does but there is little to no information available.
Please let me know or if there is additional information I could provide that would be useful for troubleshooting.
Cheers,
G

Our machine was sent back to HP and they reformatted our hard drive and sent it back. Wow. Fantastic service. NOT!!!! I could have done that. Without debugging their own software to figure out why this was happening they reformatted the hard drive. I can only expect this problem will happen again since there must be a software update, etc... that is causing this behavior. I honestly do not know how to voice my disgust in their customer service. I have been a long time fan of HP and we basically only buy HP at work but this was the poorest display of customer service I have ever encountered. If your TouchSmart application stops working and the TouchSmart software updates do not resolve the problem you might as well pretend like you bought a normal computer without touch capabilities. Like buying an iPhone without it behaving like an iPhone.
