Satellite Pro 4220 wont start

dear users,
Ive got a problem with my old toshiba laptop it is an 4220 satellite pro pentium III. I have a problem with the power i guess, the computer wont start. If i press the power on button, with the adapter in the socket power nothing happens. Now the green led for power is on but the orange led is flashing on and of, but the laptop wont start. What must i do, buy a new accu? a new adapter or is internally wrong with the laptop?

Hi
Sorry but there is nothing to do. You must contact service partner. Let them check it. They can read this code and localize the defect.
I dont know in which country you live but please check the ASP list.

Satellite Pro L40 wont start

When i turn on my Satellite Pro L40 it shows me a screen asking me to start windows repair or start windows normally.
When choosing either option it leads me back to the same screen.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Many thanks

Hi Will
For me it looks like the installed OS was muddled up for non apparent reason
If you are not able to boot in the Windows XP OS and if the repair option doesnt help to boot in the safe mode I dont see any other possibility as to boot from the Toshiba recovery CD and to reinstall the operating system again!
But note; the booting from the recovery CD will format the whole HDD and you will lose all files stored on the HDD. ?
This is a drastic procedure but in my eyes its the only one which could helps to solve this issue.

Satellite Pro L850 wont start up when USB3 cable to Dynadock is connected

Hello,
I have a new L850 and Dynadock ( PA3927A-1PRP). The L850 wont start up when the USB 3 is connected and the screen flashes gray then black. If I remove the USB3 then the L850 will start up and if I then reinsert the cable it continues to start and work fine.
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled the Dynadock viewer drivers from the Toshiba website.
Perhaps I have the cables in the wrong slots? It is connected as per the Dynadock quick start guide.
I would appreciate some assistance.
Thanks - Mark

Satellite Pro 6100 wont start up

when i power up my laptop, the toshiba start up page shows, then the cursor blinks in the top left corner then nothing.
is it a virus?
Has any one got any ideas?

Hi!
Thanks for your replies, they were much appreciated.
The reason I have taken so long to reply was that I am living in Spain and my recovery disc was still in the UK!!!
Now for my next question, if I install the recovery disc, will I lose all my files or is there a way I can recover these using my other laptop or can I use a boot disc in my floppy drive or in another disc drive.
Any help would be great

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 Pro C850 wont work after Bios update

my satellite pro c850 cd wont work after bios update from toshiba.
what do i do?

Saying: dont work you mean it does not power up or what do you mean exactly?
Did you flash the BIOS properly?
Possibly something went wrong during the update and this means that ROM module isnt flashed properly
In most cases a special BIOS crisis disk would be needed to get it working
Not quite sure if you can get it fixed by your own
Check this thread. Maybe it helps:

Satellite Pro M10 cannot start properly - AC LED blinking orange

Hello
I've a weird problem which I can't solve.
1) When my Satellite Pro M10 has the AC adapter connected and battery, the AC led is green and battery led is orange.
2) When I try to turn it on, many times it will not turn on and the leds dissepear for 1 or 2 seconds and my AC led is blinking in orange. Sometimes it will turn on like it should be.
When this problem appears it will take a lot of time before it will turn on normally. I've been searching on the internet for a solution, but I couldn't find one.
I allready removed the battery and try to turn it on, but it won't solve the problem. Neither when I remove the AC adapter and try to start it on the battery itself.
I also removed both of them and pressed the power-on-button for 60 seconds. After that it will start sometimes with the AC adapter or battery.
My bios is updated to the latest version. (I did this when it booted just 5 minutes ago, but the problem ain't solved). I do also think that when the m10 is on and when I close it, it will also hang.
Do somebody know how to solve this poblem? Thanks in advance.

It is very unusual issue and without precise tests it is not easy to say what the problem can be. I hope you use original AC adapter.
According to your description the board power supply electronic is somehow confused. When you remove battery the notebook should start normally and power LED should show permanent AC connection. In your case the problem can be contact between AC/DC in port and mainboard or power supply electronic itself. I am really skeptic you will be able to do something alone without service.
I recommend you to contact them and explain the situation. The addresses you can find on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads.

Satellite Pro L40 wont boot after changing BIOS settings

Alright changed a few settings in the bios last night and now when I boot I get a black screen lights flash and that hard drive light comes on but nothing on screen.
There was no password on bios,... how would I reset BIOS to normal?
I put a windows disk on I can hear the disk spinning but nothing on the screen
(I think I have come to the right place on the forum)
Its a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 model psl4be.
Thanks

>There was no password on bios,... how would I reset BIOS to normal?
You can set the BIOS to default ONLY inside the BIOS so you have to access the BIOS pressing F2 or at the beginning of the booting order
But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
Maybe its just a simple bad luck that this issue happened just exactly after changing something in BIOS.
Try to connect an external monitor and check if you can see something on 2nd display.

Satelllite Pro 6000 wont start up.

Hello,
First post on these forums so hello to everybody.
I need a bit of help fixing my old Toshiba Satellite Pro Laptop. Recently it has stopped booting up completely. I been all over the net looking for ways of solving it and still aint find anything.
When the laptop is on AC I get two lights at the front one green one to show that its plugged in to the AC and one orange one to say the batterys charging. There is no flashing amber lights or anything like has been suggested in other places.
When I switch it on the light at the front lights and the fan kicks in. I can even feel the processor warm up. But theres nothing on the screen and no other activity.
Has anyone here got any suggestions as to what could be the problem ?
Cheers
Adam

It's possible that you notebook screen was changed to the external one.
Try to connect the external screen and check if you can see something.

Satellite Pro M70 wont Power up when on AC

Hi
I bought my dad a Satellite Pro M70 for his birthday and he's been using it for about 3 months. Suddenly without any reason it won't power up if its not connected to the AC. The battery is registering as 100% charged.
When on AC everything is fine no issues.
But when its not plugged into the AC it won't power up. Once powered up however you can unplug the AC and it will all work fine again.
Any ideas?
Should I try a BIOS update? or does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks
Gogz

Hi
Does this problem appear from the beginning?
Sounds a little bit like an power supply electroninc malfunction and in such cases you should always ask the Toshiba service provider for an help.
Dont worry, it seems the warranty is valid and every procedure should be done for free.
But Im interesting if this will help you:
Please try to disable powerplay in the graphic card properties and don't set the CPU to a low speed in Toshiba Power Saver in fixed mode.
Check this option.

Satellite Pro L500 wont burn DVD

I have TWO Satellite Pro L500 laptops with a TSSTCorp TS-L633C DVD-RW Drive. BOTH exhibit the same problem - burning a DVD fails during the finalising process, regardless of what speed you burn at.
Burning CD's works fine.
The blank DVD's burn fine on a Satellite L500D laptop using the HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT20N drive, and also on another Satellite Pro L500 that is using a Pioneer drive.
Both laptops having issues are running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, but nothing else other than the software that comes with the laptop. Both are new straight out of the box. Driver is current version driver, from what I can find out.
Any suggestions? When one laptop showed the problems I thought it may be the drive, but now 2 laptops from totally different stores showing the exact same problem?
Thanks.

The problem is that disabling file verify doesn't resolve the issue as the disc is unreadable after burning.
*I have now solved the issue*
*It seems the TS-L633 drives do not work well with lower speed discs.*
Where EVERY other computer, including a Satellite Pro and Satellite using different drives, will detect the lower speed DVD's and burn appropriately, the TSSCorp drive does not and hence errors due to burning the disc at too high a speed.
The drive worked fine when higher speed discs were used.
Examining the problem discs I believe they were 2x discs, which as stated worked fine in all other computers where the computer detected the lower speed and changed the burn speed to 2x, however the TS-L633 drive would not allow less than 3x burn speed, and tried to burn at 8x. This obviously created a problem!
So, anyone having DVD burning issues with a Satellite laptop using the TSSTcorp TS-L633C drive, try changing the blank media to something capable of higher burn speeds!
Thank you to all that suggested solutions. I have also passed this info along to Toshiba Support as I feel this may be an issue they need to either resolve or note for future users, as there is no doubt slower speed DVD's will be used in these devices!

Satellite 2410-504 wont start

Hi All
I have a sick toshiba Satellite 2410-504 laptop.
When booting up it says:-
"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
Please re-install a copy of the above file."
Ive put the Windows CD in the CD drive and I've gone into the BIOS and set the CD-ROM as the first Priority but it fails to boot from CD and just continues (what appears) to boot from the HD.
When I changed the BOIS priority it came up with a
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
So after reading this error message I've check the HD is installed and disabled the net card in the BIOS but still wont boot and reverts to the error message as above.
Any other ideas? Is the HD broke?
Why wont it boot from CD?

Hi
It could be possible that CD/DVD drive cannot read the inserted disk and therefore tries to boot from the HDD.
Therefore I would recommend checking another bootable disk like Linux live CD or just simply another bootable Windows disk.
If the disk is OK, then the CD/DVD drive might be affected. I had an similar problem in the past where the CD/DVD drive could not read the inserted disk. In my case the laser lens was dirty. I cleaned it using cotton wool tip and alcohol and finally could start from the inserted disk

Toshiba Satellite L675D-S7104 wont start up

Looking for help! I was having problems with IE not responding so decided to upgrade to internet explorer 9 during process I needed to know if I had a 64 or 32 bit. So I minimized to check on my start menu and all my icons were gone. After pulling up internet again I looked around to find solutions someone suggested turning it off and manually starting in safe mode. Usually nothing comes up. Occasionally I get Windows boot manager which says "windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause." It wants me to insert my windows installation disc which I do not have. I once got an error message saying "An Error has occurred error:F3-F100-0003" Most of the time it is just a black screen with a blinking cursor dot. Interestingly after commandeering my sons computer I find the internet a lot faster than it was on my new Toshiba. My security was up and running and said there were no problems however my computer had been slow and not responding for a while a lot of times it wouldn't turn off so I had to put it to sleep now it sleeps eternally. Please help my son wants his computer back and I think I want mine back.

Satellite A305-S6852
Let's just try a basic system reset and see if this helps bring your system back. Power off your system, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power on button for 30 seconds, replace battery and AC, power on, at 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, then try to boot into Windows again.
Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

Macbook Pro - Applications wont start without External Display

Hi all,
Apologies if this question has already been answered, but I have spent a lot of time Googling to no avail...
I have an early 2011 15" MBP with the following spec:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:          2 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          4
L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
L3 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          8 GB
Boot ROM Version:          MBP81.0047.B24
SMC Version (system):          1.69f1
AMD Radeon HD 6490M / Intel HD Graphics 3000
Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.8
I normally use the MBP with a 27" Cinema Display connected (mini display port/thunderbolt connector) and the clamshell shut. All is fine.
However, if I remove the external monitor and want to use the MBP with just its own display, some applications will not start. They bounce int he dock for a while and then hang, and need to be forcibly killed. Not all applications behave this way, but so far I have experienced this with Aperture 3.2, Omnigraffle, Parallels, Pixelmator.
Does anyonw have a clue whats going on and how to fix?
Thanks

Hi Grant & Bob
Thanks for your responses.
The adaptor has been removed from the Mac, and I have tried all the obvious solutions (like using detect displays), but to no avail.
I will try and investigate some other scenarious (like using a different external display) and see what happens.
Thanks
