Why does Satellite Pro A300 not start when the power button is pressed?

Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 will not start correctly when the power button is pressed. The situation is this: When I press the power button the Toshiba opening picture (Leading Innovation) appears and disappers quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. Then there is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation underneath. And nothing happens however long I wait.
In order to get on with the starting proces I then shut down the computer by pressing down the power button until the computer stops. ("The hard way to shut down")
Now I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then the computer starts normally with the Toshiba opening picture and after a few seconds I am asked to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.
What shall I do to get a normal start procedure?

When notebook starts normally (after choosing normal mode) shut down your notebook properly using START > Shut down option. Next start should be normal.
When the OS is switched down on irregular way you will be always asked how to start it again (safe or normal mode).
The same happen on my Satellite A300.

Satellite A200 does not start anymore.

Hello, im trying to find a whats going on with my laptop. It's a Satellite A200 on Windows 7 professional.
From a few days ago i cant start the laptop anymore. It doesnt look like a software issue because when i push the power button, the only thing that happens is the power led turns on (blue color) and, 2 seconds later, starts to blink orange. And never passes this stage.
The screen remains as off, and i think, the BIOS does not start as well.
Ive already tried to remove the Ram and the hard drive - Keeps doing the same. Doesnt even bleeps over the missing Ram or drive!!!
Anyone have any ideia about whats going on??!! Please anwser!
Sorry for the english. Portugal here ;)

> Do you kown if this is a comom problem with this laptop model?? Because i have read in a few forums that is a common problem with this laptop
Unfortunately, this is a common problem for many laptop models. My old laptop (non Toshiba one) also had such problem with southbridge malfunction. I just threw it into garbage as replacing mobo is pretty expensive procedure. it's better to buy new one or second-hand

Satellite C660 does not start up

Yesterday we purchased a Satellite C660 with Windows 7 64bit installed. Worked just fine but today the laptop does not start up again. Updates were installed but after pressing the power button the light of the hdd turns on for a few seconds, the vents work for two seconds and then ... nothing !
Please help !

You cannot start notebook at all?
Can you enter BIOS settings with F2 at start up?
Which updates have you installed?
If nothing works you have only one choice: either bring it back to your local dealer and ask for replacement or contact Toshiba service provider directly. They can check hardware and help you with this.

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

Toshiba Satellite L300 - Will not start

I have a Toshiba Satelitte L300 Laptop, the DC in power plug was loose so Pulled it apart and refixed the adapter, it ran OK for a while.
Prior to fixing the plug, there were many times when switched on the fan would start, power light would turn green and orange at the same time, run for about 3 seconds then shut down.
It would not start again until DC power plug removed and battery taken out, then all put back in again, the same would happen again, this could go on until finally giving up.
Other times happen once or twice then run without a problem.
If all is well only the green power light should illuminate.
Other times fan would start, power light would turn green run for 3 seconds, fan stop switched off, then immediately start again then ran with no problems.
Now when power switch pressed, orange and green led's come on, runs for 3 seconds then switches off, you can not try to start it again until DC power plug removed and battery taken out, when all put back in again the same thing keeps happening.
With battery in, then plug in DC, the DC and Battery lights come on at the same time.
With Battery removed, plug in DC, the DC light can take from 3 to 15 seconds to come on.
With Battery in and DC plugged in, try to start runs 3 seconds and stops , both DC and Battery lights remain on.
Do the same again and remove DC supply only, both DC and Battery lights remain on.
Do the same again and Battery only, both DC and Battery lights remain on.
Remove Battery and unplug DC, wait around 30 seconds, plug DC in again, it takes around 3 to 15 seconds for the DC light to come on.
When plugged into DC battery charges OK.
I have changed memory, hard drive, checked all connections to the motherboard used another Power Supply, but could not find a problem.
Would appreciate any advise.

Hi I know this is an old post but it is so similar to my problems (seems common) I wondered if anyone has any suggestions?
I have 2 L300's one had a broken screen for a long time so I used it through my tv and worked well till a few months back when it refused to switch on as above.
I was then given another L300 (bit better spec with a web cam) That died last week when the power jack snapped inside so I decided to make 1 good one out of 2 no go's. I thought the problem was the hard drive on the one with the broken screen, so swapped screens and hard drives but the same no boot problem is happening :?
I have taken out the battery and plugged in (with thedifferent hard drive from original ) and got 'status oxc 0000411 and hyberfil sys errors
I changed back to the original hdd and still no go. I then took out the ram? gave it a look over and put it back and it started fine in safe mode and normally. I then turned it off to let it charge fully (which it is) and now it won't boot up again, fan and cd is working and I still have my system restore disk
I have XP on one hdd and vista on the other.
Any idea?
Also can anyone tell me if the ram and hard drives and any other bits are interchangeable?
The one with the web cam (in bits now) is Model PSLBOE 07 JOOSEN :? if that helps
and the one I am trying to get running is

Satellite L505 will not start! Please help me!

My Tobisha Satellite is having a problem booting up. I am using the Satellite L505.
Whenever I try to turn on my computer the boot logo comes up, but then after that a black screen comes up with a symbol up at the top left. It stays on that screen forever, please help me!!!!

Try what drev9 said.    And you can also try repeat tries to get it to boot (hold the power button in ntil it shuts off, then power it back on again. I once got my L505D to successfully boot but it took 3-4 tries like that.) Or you can try walking off and just leaving it stwe a while to see if Windows resolves the issue.   If it prompts you that Windows didn't start right, you can either try start normally or do a restore back to last restore point or whatever that other option is.    If you get the macine running, definitely back up or copy off all of your important data and pictures, before you shut it off again.
Probably what you're going to need to do is a complete Toshiba Restore that reinstalls all software back to factory configuration, and that will erase everything on the hard disk.   It's remarkably easi to do, provided you have a fast and reliable Internet connection to get all the updates installed.
I have an L505D-s6947 and it was purchased in July 2009.     It recently started having problems with starting up Windows, could not complete burning a DVD, lost some files, corrupted my original Admin account, and occasionally the hard disk was "not available" when file writes were supposed to happen.    Doing a full Restore cleans out all the junk, it fixed my problems, and the machine runs reliable and much faster now, plus has no difficulty burning DVDS.   These computers probably should get wiped and reinstalled once a year, to keep the performance up and Windows running smoothly.

Toshiba Satellite P105 Does Not Start up

I have Satellite P105 which was purchase almost 3 years ago (No warranty). It has a display problem and hence I use an external monitor as the primary display. Till last week, it was working okay. Last Sunday, I shut down the machine and since then it is not at all starting. When the power button is pressed, the power light glows, the HDD light blinks for a second or so and then nothing happens. It I keep the power button pressed for 5 seconds, the power LED goes off. This is happening on battery as well as on AC adapter. Also I have tried this with external monitor as well as without it but no improvement. It even does not go to BIOS setup or no BIOS message is displayed. If I insert any disk in optical drive (when the pwoer LED is glowing), it tries to read the disk and then again nothing happens. I tried replacing the RAM module but the result is same. Recently, when it was working okay, while booting, it used to give a beeping sound till windows screen appeared.
Since I am using external monitor, I might have closed the lid while the shutdown was taking place when I switched it off last time..
Can any one suggest what is wrong and how to solve this issue?

Hi,
Thanks for your help and the probable suggestions.
The model No is S6024 and the power adapter is working okay. Anyway, I could solve the problem by doing following. I am not sure if that is what solved the issue but there are highly chances that this could be a solution since that was my last effort to start it again.
I opened up the compuer (thanks a ton to www.irisvista.com for that), located the CMOS battery and disconnected the battery from motherboard for about 20 minutes. After connecting the battery again, I re-assembeled computer and then started it again. The initial start was not encouraging but after the second try (it took slighly longer than usual to start this time) it showed the boot screen and it booted without any problems. I had to adjust the date (which is an indication that CMOS was resetted) but now it is booting without any problems.
Thanks to everybody who has gone through this post and tried to help in whatever manner they can.

Satellite C660 will not start - OS not found - where to get install disk?

I replaced the HDD in my Toshiba Laptop C660 - following a support check indicated the old one was dead. The laptop initially comes up with the Toshiba Logo then starts scrolling and ends with "Operating System not found".
I do not have a recovery disk / USB. Any helpful advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Satellite 2410 does not start

Dear all,
I have a S2410-304S which worked properly until today.
After trying to repair the loud speaker I removed all parts to open the notebook to reach the meachanic parts near the loud speaker. But I could not remove the upper from the lower panel and put everything together.
Afterwards the system could not be started! The green LED`s for power supply and battery are lighting.
Can anybody help??
Thanks,
Eckhard

Hi Eckhard,
Try diconnecting the notebook from the AC supply and also removing the battery for a few minutes. Then re-connect the AC supply and try to power on your notebook.
If the system still does not boot then there will be a problem with your mainboard and you will need to get your notebook serviced by an authorised service agent.
regards,

Satellite A200 does not start up

Hi
overall, i was very happy with my A200, now 5 months old.
But last month, strange behaviour.
Vista always perfect closed.
Next day, want to start my PC.
_ON-button is doing nothing_, although battery is 100% ok.
-> SOLUTION is to remove battery, insert again and then with ON, the laptop is starting...
Other issue:
ON-button is starting up the laptop, but _screen remains black_.
-> Same solution, remove battery and start again.
Is this known? Solution ?
Thx
dave

JayJay is right. The BIOS update should helps to sort out this issue!
Check this Toshiba US page:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlView.jsp?soid=1991432
I would recommend updating the graphic card driver too.
How about Vista update?
You should check if the Vista is up-to-date!

My Satellite M30 does not start anymore

Hello,
I've a M30 laptop and it was a good laptop, but one day suddenly it crushed. When I boot up the laptop nothing happens, the Power Led switch on, and the battery and Power conection too.
Not any menssage is displayed on the screen, the screen stay black, iluminated but black, no BIOS, nothing at all. By the other side I can't hear tha habitual noise, no HDD, no FUN.
I've dissambled it, and look for any unwired conection, or any stupid problem, but I'can't find any.
Does anybody know what it's happening?
Juanma

Hi
I dont understand why you have disassembled this notebook if you have no experience with such fault diagnostic.
Believe me; usually its not possible to provide an exactly diagnostic. For me it looks like a motherboard fault, possibly also the CPU malfunction but who knows!
Without a notebook check its not easy to say whats wrong. So I think you will have to contact the ASP in your country to for a help.
Best regards and greetings

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.
