Satellite P845T-101 is not getting as far as POST

I have a Satellite P845T-101 that started to run incredibly slowly. I decided to run the Toshiba factory recovery, but for some reason it managed to wipe the recovery partition as it was clearing off the Windows installation.
Anyway, I figured I'd have a look at Windows 10 evaluation edition that I had recently downloaded, while I waited for my new recovery media to arrive in the post. I installed it fine and it worked (mostly) pretty well for a couple of days. That is until I turned it off one night. I switched it back on again the following day and not a lot happened. This is what I got:
Power button lights up.
Power indicator on front edge lights up.
Fan starts.
CAPS LOCK indicator lit permanently.
Unfortunately, that's all I get. I have tried everything I can think of, including removing all forms of power and holding the power button down for 30 seconds, trying the Windows 10 installation disk again (the optical drive spins up, but nothing else happens), and removing the RAM sticks one at a time and trying again, with no change in result.
My own best guess would be the CMOS battery is duff, but upon opening the case (my laptop is over 2 years old, so WELL out of warranty anyway!) I was unable to access it. I took out all the screws I could locate (carefully logging their positions) but was incapable of actually taking out the motherboard, which hides said battery. Why they couldn't have mounted it somewhere you could get to easily, I don't know.
So, does anyone have any other ideas what the problem could be? Can anyone locate a set of instructions for removing the motherboard? I'm fairly capable (generally speaking) with computers, but this is a new one on me!
Any help would be gratefully received.

I’m pretty sure that you as experienced IT expert know very well how all this works. There are many enthusiasts who want to save the money and try to fix something alone.
Can you imagine what kind of chaos could be result of giving such documents to every customer?
For instance someone try to fix something, destroy some electronic component and later goes to the service and say “it is not caused by me”.
You know very well that something like this will not work. When you by a new car you will also not get a maintenance manuals for car repair. On the market there are “universal rules” for most of the electronic products.
You have a problem so either you can try to fix it alone on your own risk or you will ask for professional help and pay for repair.
To be honest I am also trying to fix many things alone but if something is too risky for me I pay and problem will be fixed. If the problem occurs again I can make a claim.
Sorry if you are not happy with my comment, but I just want to write my opinion about that.

  • Satellite p845t-101 touchpad locked

    The touchpad on my satellite has locked itself. the locked symbol has lit up on the touchpad and I cannot unlock it, the fn-f5 shortcut does not work, the fn button seems to work with all other shortcuts.
    the touchpad works fine when the laptop is booting up but when the boot sequence has finished the touchpad locks out.
    HELP ME PLEASE.

    Satellite P845t-101 (PSPJ5E-00C00JEN)
    the fn-f5 shortcut does not work
    There's a setting which changes that to work with just F5.
    You can also disable/enable the touch pad by double-tapping the indicator light. This is on p. 2-9 of the User's Manual (attached)

  • Re: Satellite P845t - keyboard does not respond

    Hi
    I am on Satellite P845t with Win 8 and get a serious sensitivity issue with keyboard. It looks like the driver issue but was not able to find the keyboard driver on the website
    so, now the main question is where to find it.
    Sorry to be summary, but I had to be, because I can't really type... if I type normally
    it cms lkehi asically
    it becomes like this basically.
    Yo

    Thanks. I'm then a little lost. In terms of what to do.
    It's preinstalled Win 8. 64bit.
    Rather suddenly keyboard and touchpad started malfunctioning. I noticed the synaptic driver gone, so re-installed it to a good effect. I don't know how and when it was lost. Hence I thought it would be a driver issue.
    Tried:
    Toshiba and MS updates
    safe mode booting
    no luck yet.

  • Satellite Pro L300-12H not getting IP from DHCP router via cable

    My Vista Premium SP1 laptop is connected via wireless connection to a Buffalo ADSL modem/router model WBMR-G54 which works fine. However, I tried the other day to connect up the LAN card via RJ45 cable to the router and it won't work! I get the message "limited connectivity" and an IP of 169.254.xxx.xxx which suggests it is not getting an IP from the router.
    I been on various web sites and tried all sorts of things like unchecking ipv6 on the LAN card properties, turning off DHCP Broadcast flag in the registry (as per micrsoft issue) etc. but to no avail.
    Anybody got any suggestions to get it working?
    NB: I took the laptop into work and connected it to the Windows 2003 server network and got a DHCP IP straight away!?!

    Hi wakefijr,
    To be honest, it's still worth checking with your ISP or the router manufacturer because they will be able to guide you through the settings of the router. You're quite right about the 169.254.xxx.xxx IP address, it means that the DHCP server within the router isn't assigning an IP address to the laptop so the laptop is assigning itself an IP address via APIPA.
    Short of checking the DHCP router settings, one other thing you could do is disable APIPA and try using the alternate IP configuration, this is how:
    * Go to the *Start Menu* and in the *Start Search* box, type in *ncpa.cpl* and hit Enter, this will open up network connections
    * Go into the properties of the LAN and properties of IPv4
    * Click on the *Alternate Configuration* tab
    * You will see that it is set to APIPA, you can change to *User configured* and input an available IP address, the correct subnet mask (most likely 255.255.255.0) and default gateway.
    * Click *OK* as many times as you need to save all changes, then reboot with the RJ45 cable connected.
    What this will then do is make the laptop try looking for a DHCP server to assign an IP address, but if no DHCP server is assigning an IP address to this laptop then it will assign one that should work on the network.
    But really check router configuration as a priority.

  • 8500A ink leaving cartridge, but not getting as far as paper....

    Hi there.
    I'm having a real issue trying to get any black ink to reach the paper on my 8500A. It was working fine until my ink ran out about 3 weeks ago, now I need to do some printing I've gone and bought myself a new official cartridge.
    After installing (which I've done a million times in the past) and attempting a print the ink seems to be leaving the cartridge, but not getting any further than the springy mechanism it's attached to. I've tried both cleaning the printheads via the printer, and the springy plastic bit with a **bleep** cloth - which gets covered in black ink.
    I've attached two photos...

    Hello @dwfmagik,
    Welcome back to the HP Support Forums! I see you have recently replaced the black ink cartridge on your HP Officejet 8500A, but you are still not getting any black ink on the paper. I see you have tried to clean the printheads using the cleaning utility as well as inside the machine with no success.
    I would like you to continue troubleshooting here: Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Officejet Pro 8500A

  • Payment method not getting copied automatically during posting invoice

    Dear Gurus,
    The payment method maintained in the vendor master " T" / "C" is not getting copied while posting the invoice document in MIRO or FB60 .
    The terms of payment is being defaulted from the master data, but not the payment method.
    Please help in this regard.
    Regards,

    Hi Raghu,
    You should check that the invoicing party on the details tab is the
    same vendor that has the payment method supplement filled in the
    vendor master record under the payment transactions accounting screen.

  • Satellite P845t-10G does not go to sleep closing lid after Win 8.1 upgrade

    Hi,
    I own a P845t-10g and since I upgraded to Win 8.1 the laptop does not go to sleep (or shut down) when closing the lid.
    However, when opening the lid, it wakes from sleep mode.
    I tried installing latest Toshiba systems settings utility and all updates on the support site.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Did you check the option called: What closing the lid does?
    Click on the 'Power Options' icon in taskbar (or in control panel).
    Then click 'More power options'. Now a new windows will open. On the left side panel click on 'What closing the lid does'.
    Now you will see two possible mode: battery and plugged in. For each mode you can set the action for closing the lid.
    BUT one question: did you upgrade the Win 8.1 following the instruction from Toshiba?
    http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/ Did you install all the Toshiba Windows 8.1 drivers and utilities in the right order!?

  • Satellite Pro M70: Can not get the TV OUT working

    I have connected my laptop to my TV via the TV-OUT socket and a 4 pin S-Video lead. I have turned on the TV as an output in the advanced settings of my graphics card. I have selected TV via the Fn-F5 keys and I get nothing on my television.
    Can anyone suggest what I might have left out to make this work?
    The S-Video lead is new and the hook up to the TV is via a Joytech AV Control Center 2.
    The Joytech unit is operational and the video lead appears OK as the Fn-F5 key press indicates that a TV is available - this disappears as an option if I unplug the video lead from the Joytech unit.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Lorraine,
    I presume that the TV is actually switched to your Joytech AV device ? I presume it gives some kind of signal so that you check that the TV can actually detect it. I once spent a happy few hours trying to use my TV in this way only to find it was switched to the composite inputs not the S-Video one. ;-)

  • IMac not getting very far into boot sequence.

    Hi,
    I can no longer get OSX to boot up much further than after initial screen where it makes the noise, and has the spinning icon, after that if moves to a blue screen, light blue, occasionaly the hard drive will make a noise as if it's accessing it, but that's all.
    Before this happened, I was looking at some files on an external hard drive, to try and get rid of them, they were both over a gig in size, that slowed the iMac down.
    I eventually managed to force quit a some applications down so that restart, and the above mentioned is the result.
    Any ideas?

    I was trying to avoid it as well, but if it gets it back up and running, till I have some free time, to back up stuff on the drive,... yess i do use time machine.. but there's other stuff on there I want another back up on it's own.
    I'll let you know if there are any further problems.

  • No activity on smspxe.log and I am not getting very far when testing OS deployment

    Hello and thanks for any help. I have a few OS deployment issues.
    1. There is no activity on smspxe.log. This has been a problem for two weeks. I believe it is a symptom of trying to fix a bigger issue (#2)
    2. I am trying to move us from SCE imaging to SCCM 2012. We had CM working at first but had to switch back. Now when I try to do a PXE boot, I see this message.
    Recovery
    Your PC needs to be repaired
    The Windows Boot Configuration Data file from the PXE server does not contain a valid operating system entry. Ensure that the server has boot images installed for this architecture.
    File:\Tmp\x86x64{BBD9AF6-E64E-41A9-840504118DB33B45}.bcd
    Error code: 0xc0000098
    I have tried these steps -  disable PXE on the DP (which is also the MP), remove WDS, I hid the remote install folder, restarted server, installed the WDS role. It wouldn't start so I did wdsutil initialize. Enabled PXE. Maybe important to note; before
    this the remoteinstall share was RemoteInstall. Now it is "REMINST".
    I have boot images for both i386 and x64.
    Thanks so much for any help.

    Hi,
    You could try the steps in the blogs below(I know that you have tried some steps). Please make sure the RemoteInstall folders have been populated.
    Quote:
    Go to the Properties of the DP and uncheck the box "Enable PXE support for clients"
    Wait for a short time while Windows Deployment Services uninstalls
    Reboot the DP
    Re-enable PXE support and wait while WDS re-installs
    WDS usually requires a reboot so you should reboot again
    ConfigMgr 2012 / SCCM 2012 Task Sequence fails with BCD error
    Quote:
    My initial thoughts were to try and redistribute the boot images but this didn’t work for me. So I removed the PXE role from the DP in question, waited for the success message to appear under the DP monitoring and rebooted the server. After rebooting the
    server I enabled the PXE role on the DP, this time leaving Unknown Computer Support enabled. I waited for the success message in the DP monitoring and rebooted the server. After the reboot I made a point of checking the status of the WDS role in Server Manager
    (all was well). I also checked the RemoteInstall folder had the same contents as other working DP’s and tried again. Hey presto problem solved!

  • Dbacockpit overview pane does not get populated

    Hi guys,
    I have already gone through the several other threads on sdn which repeat the same issue here but I am not able to find a solution via them. Can any one give me some leads into this...
    -- CHANGES DONE --
    We applied all relevant support packs which were part of Support stack 13. This involved also patching SAP BASIS from 10 to 13. Also NW04S 700 kernel was upgraded to patch 114 (SAPEXE and SAPEXEDB SAR packages)
    STATEMENT OF PROBLEM(S)
    Tcode dbacockpit does not refresh data in the overview pane.
    note: db02old still works and we are able to refresh stats from there but dbacockpit overiew pane does not get populated.
    Also post support packs: “sap_collector_for_performance” runs successfully but reports in job log “database system is not supported”
    When we do a refresh via dbacockpit, the job “refresh space statistics” ends with a “compute bcd overflow” dump.
    CHECKS ALREADY MADE
    --Note 1066044 – for the BCD overflow dump – does not help. We are already at BASIS pack 13 and the correction contained in the note is already in place. As
    per the note since are already at BASIS SP13 we should not be facing this. Why are we facing this then ?
    --Note 868063
    Call report rsoracup; put in con_name=DEFAULT; operatio=CREATE;F8 – did this.

    All entries have EDTX blank but there is no entry 'LSDBORA3F03’
    Despite all the above checks I am unable to get the dbacockpit to refresh. Does anyone have any ideas. Will putting in the latest DBSL shared library patch for oracle solve this... I did SAPEXE and EXEDB.SAR latest. Any ideas...?

    For this issue it's still not working for me in Sanbox BI. I got a SAP message open for this. But I got it to work on Dev and TST systems. There was one mistake I was making. This may not be the cause though but just for your info. When we go to dbacockpit, click on collector setup icon. And there when we give connection name = "default" and then action as "create connection", I was not saving the variant. Click save and give a name to the variant like "refresh stats" or something. Then click refresh icon so that the "Refresh space statistics" will run in background. When I saved the variant on dev and test BI I did not end with a BCD overflow dump for the  "refresh space statistics" job.The refresh space stat job needs to find the variant name.And this then populated the dbacockpit -> space -> overview pane. Although the "perf for monitor" job still has log entries "db system not supported" that doesn't matter. It's probably a message we can ignore.
    Also if you are still facing prob, check these.
    You say you are on SP12 which SP component are you referring to (stack number ?. BASIS ? BW ?). Make note I have done the support stack 13 which contains upto the BW patch upto 15 and upto BASIS patch 13. Note 1066044 says if you have BASIS 13 you won't face this problem .
    Is your "perf for collector" job running without issues. That is a prereq to the "Refresh space stats" job. Try to troubleshoot that as well. I think the refresh stats job has to find the data in table MONI which gets populated via "perf for collector" (RSCOLL00).
