Satellite P50-A-11J does not respond to power button

Computer when to sleep 24 hours ago.
When I picked it out of the bag now, both DC IN/Battery and Power LED is lit (continuous, not flashing), but computer does not respond to power button or any other key combination I can think of.
If the computer had a removable battery, I would have tried to pull it out - but how do you do that on a P50?
You don't, according to my manual.
Is there another "secret" hardware reset button somewhere?

I don't know if this is common to all models but there is a picture of the reset button here [Picture: Forced shut down hole|http://forums.toshiba.com/tshb/attachments/tshb/brd_batt_pwr/10560/1/S50%20forced%20shut%20down.png]

  • Satellite A65 freezes and does not respond after adding of RAM

    Gents,
    My laptop Satellite A-65 has been upgrade from 512 MB RAM to 1024 RAM. It recognized additional memory without any problem (as it should be according to manual).
    But unfortunately after 1 day it begun suddenly stops, pictures on screen freezes, laptop does not respond at all - only reset (pushing and holding power button) can help. some times laptop is able to work 2 or 3 hours, but then again stops.
    Memory place cover is rather hot, fan very often work uninterruptibly. so i can't decide whether problem is in new memory card or not enough cooling or might be in changing of BIOS version (or BIOS setttings) and might be memory becomes full and does not clear itself properly (last remark was found on some forumes).
    Experts, help to find exact reason especcially if u had similar problem.

    Hi
    Im not expert but I would recommend removing the new memory module and let run the notebook only with the standard memory module.
    If the notebook will not hang and will not freeze then its a very clear case for me.
    Either the second module is not compatible or faulty.
    In my opinion you should use branded modules like Kingston for example. The quality is much better as a no-name module.
    Additional use the modules recommend by Toshiba

  • Logoff/shut down/restart window does not appear when power button pressed

    For a couple months now my G4 Powerbook running 10.4.6 has not responded to pressing the power button. This also applies to the restart/logoff/shut down options from the Apple menu -- no response.
    I reloaded Tiger using the save personal preferences and settings and the malfunction is still there.
    Ideas? (I haven't called AppleCare yet.)
    TIA

    Assuming that you mean you did everything that Sherry
    and I offered up in our responses, then create
    another admin account, log into it, and see if the
    problem persists. Cryptic one-line responses aren't
    very helpful. If this suggestion doesn't make the
    problem disappear, then install the latest COMBO
    update (10.4.7 was released today), restart, launch
    Disk Utility, repair permissions, restart, and
    hopefully that'll fix things.
    I have another - "clean" - admin account and the problem persists there. And I downloaded the 10.4.7 update and the problem persists. If there isn't much to add, why go beyond, as you call it, a "cryptic one-line" response.
    Ended up calling AppleCare and will do a clean archive and re-install. Thanks for the suggestions.

  • Satellite P50-A-12Z does not recognize 500GB SSD

    Hi,
    I have installed a new ssd evo 840 500gb and the bios dosen't recognized it.
    The state in bios of the hdd/ssd is not present.
    When I start with a disc of Windows 8 installer, setup recongnizes the ssd and I can create partitions, but I can't install it.
    The error is:
    Windows cannot be installed to this disk.
    This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk.
    I have the last bios version (1.50) for this model.
    Someone can help me?
    Thanks.

    > In BIOS, the state from hdd/ssd is "not present" and at boot menu, hdd option is first but empty, no description.
    The problem can be related either to BIOS or to the SSD drive.
    You have no many options: the BIOS seems to be already up to date. So BIOS update isnt a option in this case What you could do is to set the BIOS to default settings. You could also try to use the UEFI mode but thats all what you can do at the BIOS level.
    Additionally you can try to update the SSD drives firmware.
    Ive got an SSD drive too and I could update the firmware. Therefore this might be another option for you
    But in case this would not work, I think you will need to test another SSD drive, probably from another manufacturer.

  • Satellite L300 (PSLB8C-0H901X) does not work

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8C-0H901X, does not work, no power, no POST, nothing, Get power and charge lamp when pluged in nothing else, any known issues? Any fixes, Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hmm sounds like a serious hardware issue.
    If you are a lucky man the issue could be related to RAM module.
    The RAM modules can be replaced easily. The memory bay is placed at the bottom of the unit secured by one screw.
    But the question is if its really related to RAM.
    Well, you will know this if you would replace/check this
    Otherwise I recommend asking an professional notebook technician for a help

  • My ipod touch's screen is changing colors and will not respond to the buttons

    my sisters ipod touch is a 4th gen and the screen recently started changing colors, it does not respond to the buttons and will not turn off. should i wait for the battery to die then charge it. she said it started happening when she was charging it. could it be the charging cable? i do not know what OS it has.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Satellite A300-129 - Sound is muted and icon does not respond

    Dear all,
    I am trying to switch on the sound of my Satellite A300-129 after I had muted it a couple of days ago, but the icon does not respond.
    When I click on the right mouse button, I can go to sounds etc., but "Open volume mixer" does not respond either. I have also tried to restart the laptop a couple of times, but that did not help.
    What can I do? Your help will be much appreciated.
    Heleen

    >How do I do that safely without risking losing sound forever?
    LOL You will not lose anything for ever. :D in worst case you will have to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recovery disk.
    Access the device manager -> mark the sound card -> use delete button -> reboot the notebook
    After new reboot the sound driver should reinstall again and should detect the sound card.

  • Satellite A200: Bluethooth Stack & Flashcard does not respond

    My new A200 gives me a headache. After receiving the following message: Thank you for evaluating the Bluetooth Stack for Windowsby Toshiba. The evaluation period has expired. Please obtain a license for this version of Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba" I downloaded the Bluetooth stack Multilingual from Toshiba's homepage. It does not work, I receive still the same message and cannot use bluetooth anymore.
    The second message I receive always is "that the Toshiba Flashcard does not respond" then Vista is looking for a solution but does not find anything.
    The third problem is to include a second monitor. One time only it worked fine, but never again. I cannot control the second monitor via the Notebook, sometimes I cannot extend it, sometimes I can but the second monitor works in slow motion. I use a Targus docking station.
    thanks

    Hi
    This message is meant for developers of third-party Bluetooth adapters, but may appear if you are using such an adapter with the Toshiba Bluetooth software 'stack' -- rather than with the adapter manufacturer's stack. The third-party Bluetooth adapter may work with the Toshiba Bluetooth stack, but only for a 30 day evaluation period.
    If you are using an 3rd party Bluetooth adapter, obtain and install the correct Bluetooth stack from the manufacturer of the Bluetooth adapter.
    If your notebook was already equipped with the BT card then you dont need to obtain the BT stack version from any other 3rd party manufacturers.
    You should be able to download it from the Toshiba page, from your Satellite A200 download area.
    I have also received some issues with the Vista Flash cards.
    Seems there was a bug in old version. But dont worry; the new version was already released on the Toshiba page!
    However, it looks like you have messed the whole OS because the switching to external monitor does not work too. So maybe you should recover the notebook with the Toshiba recovery CD and then update the Vista FlashCard utility.
    Good luck

  • Satellite U305-S7432 freezes and does not respond sometimes using Win XP

    Hello.
    I have a Satellite U305-S7432 notebook.
    Originally it came with Vista but I reformatted with XP Pro. I have installed all updates up to service pack 3.
    My problem is that sometimes when I try to restart the computer it simply freezes and does not respond at all to any input. I notice that this happens if I close and later open the lid (meaning that the computer goes input standby mode and comes back).
    Please note that the standby mode works perfectly fine and the computer leaves standby fine but afterwards when I try to restart, the computer will simply hang instead of restarting.
    If it never enters standby mode, the restart takes place as expected.
    I have installed all drivers and there are no question marks in Device Manager. I updated to the latest chipset driver from Intel (for the mobile 965) as well. Lastly, I also tried adding /forceresetreg to my boot.ini (as suggested by: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822624) but to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    This is a Toshiba US notebook series and you should check the Toshiba US driver page for available drivers:
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
    If you will not find the XP drivers at this page then you could try to install some single drivers for Sat U300 from the Toshiba European page but Im not quite sure if such XP drivers will run on you Sat U305. But its worth a try!
    Good luck

  • I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

    I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • IPod does not respond at all when plugged in

    Alright, this topic is for people who have had this exact problem only. I don't want to get this confused with other problems and have people trying to help troubleshoot multiple problems and get things mixed up. Here's the problem.
    After updating to v1.1.2 of the iPod software, the iPod does not respond when plugged in. The iPod still works fine when not plugged in. It plays music and both the standard and shuffle play modes work accordingly. The problem is when you plug the iPod in, it doesn't charge and it doesn't mount. The orange blinking light does not come on. While plugged in, it works the same way as it does when you're listening to music with it. It's as if the iPod's USB connector is dead. Here is my original post and description of the problem.
    Alright, so here's my story. I bought my 512MB Shuffle in April. It has worked perfectly fine since I got it. Last night, I updated to v1.1.2 of the iPod software, clicked no when it asked if I wanted to restart, added some songs to the iPod, then restarted. As of this morning, I went to listen to some music while out for a bike ride, and I was greeted with the red battery light. I thought it was a bit odd since I had left it plugged in overnight. I figured, what the heck, I'll just plug it in and let it charge when I get back. When I got back, I plugged it into my PC and left for a while. I came back later and went to grab my Shuffle and I noticed it was cold, which was unusual after charging for a couple hours. I plugged it back in, a bit frustrated, and it never came up in Windows. I looked at the iPod plugged into the back of my PC (a high powered USB port) and sure enough, no orange light. No lights at all. I can still slide the switch to one of the play modes (standard play or shuffle) and play music for a couple seconds before it stops and says the battery's dead again. It works.. I mean it turns on and plays music, it's just not charging or mounting when I plug it in. I tried multiple computers and USB ports, none of which worked. I would really like some help with this considering it IS my only source of portable music and I'm not going to go pay $50 to talk to tech support or have it sent in for repairs. That's half of what it's worth.
    I've tried uninstalling all iTunes/iPod related software from the PC I normally use it on and reinstalling it. That didn't work. I also tried uninstalling again and installing the last known working version of the iPod software, still no results. The only thing I havn't tried is giving it a good beating... Not that I would. Anyways, I hope there's a solution to this that doesn't involve buying a new one.
    Here's a rundown of the computers I tested it with.
    500MHZ G4 Cube (384MB RAM/Mac OSX Tiger)
    400MHZ G3 iMac (384MB RAM/Mac OSX Tiger)
    4.2GHZ AMD 64-Bit running Windows XP Service Pack 2 (my PC)
    515MHZ Dell running Windows 2000 (256MB RAM)
    UPDATE: The BIOS won't recognize the iPod, so it has nothing to do with my computer. Somehow, installing v1.1.2 of the iPod software made it so the iPod itself has USB problems. The iPod works to the extent of playing music and showing the battery charge level. I get no response at all when I plug it in, from the computer or the iPod.
    I'm going to have to agree with Philip Harhay on this one. The original 10GB iPod I bought 3 years ago came with a full one-year warranty, no extra charges. I am disappointed to see the Shuffle only coming with a three-month warranty.

    Help! I just purchase an iPod Shuffle for my son's birthday and I cannot get the darn thing to show up on my iMac G5. I am running OS 10.4.2 and I have downloaded the latest iPod and iTunes software. When I try to restore my iPod to the factory settings it tells me to plug the iPod into the computer, but it is plugged in. I have tried different USB ports, too. I'm running out of ideas and so is the trouble shooting Apple site. I was hoping someone out there might have some ideas.
    It showed up at first and I transferred a few songs from the iTunes to the iPod but I couldn't get them to play, so I plugged it back into the USB and the icon never came up.

  • ITunes does not respond when I try to play a movie

    I just installed the latest iTunes update onto my Windows 64-bit computer and now, whenever I try to watch a movie on iTunes it freezes and does not respond. I have to start the task manager and end the program manually. I have unistalled iTunes and reinstalled it but I still face the problem of iTunes freezing and not responding. I have a pretty good collection of movies and would love to watch them cause well I paid for them but i cant because it keeps FREEZING. Also, it wont let me view trailers on the iTunes store so I'm thinking something is wrong with the 'video' part of my iTunes. Please help.

    Although it's not such a good bet with a freeze as with the "iTunes has stopped working" messages, it would do no harm to try the following user tip:

  • Firefox takes 6 minutes to load and then does not respond so what should I do?

    After starting Firefox on my Mac (10.8) it takes 5 to 6 minutes to appear. A minute or so later the "Bookmarks and History system will not be functional because one of the files is being used by another application" message appears and Firefox either does not respond or responds very slowly to various mouse clicks and such. For example, I wanted to disable all plug ins and when I clicked on Tools and Addins it took three minutes for the tab to open and after 20 minutes still nothing had appeared on the tab. I've tried restarting Firefox, restarting the Mac, resetting Firefox to the default settings, starting Firefox in safe mode, renaming the places.sqlite file, uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling from a fresh download, performing a complete uninstall and reinstall in which I remove the Firefox folder from the Application Support folder after uninstalling, and relocating the plugins folder. I've tried just about everything in every Firefox support article that there is and nothing works. Any suggestions would be very helpful.Thanks.
