Satellite Pro P200 won't start up

I have a 1 week old Satellite Pro P200, it turned itself off when i was just in the start menu so i wasnt doing anything out of the norm (power cable was plugged in). Since then it simply wont turn on.
With the power cable plugged in I have a blue power, battery and power supply light (although for approx 2 restart attempts the battery light was red, but now blue). The drive light flickers for about 3 seconds each time i try to boot and I can hear something happening inside the machine, but after that 3 seconds....nothing, totally dead.
I have tried removing the battery, waiting 20 minutes or so and none of that has worked. Anybody got any ideas??

Seems to be definitely an hardware problem... very bad :(
Why you don't visit your notebook dealer again and ask for the swap.
Maybe the dealer will exchange the laptop with a new one.
If not, then you will have to contact the authorized service provider in your country for a help.
If you have bought an additional on-site service then the technician will visit you at home and will try to solve this issue.
Good luck

  • Satellite Pro 460 won't start with new hard drive in

    I recently got a Satellite Pro 460 but it had no hard drive in.
    It starts great with no drive in but as soon as I put a brand new hard drive in it won't start.
    I thought that it might be to new a hard drive so I took my old working drive out my old Toshiba Satellite and still it won't start.
    Any one got any ideas why this is and what can i do about it

    It sounds like 80GB is too large for that model, I really doubt the BIOS and Chipset can support more than 8GB HDD. 8GB may not even work.
    Here is some information regarding different HDD modes and limitations: http://www.adminxp.com/hardware/index.php?aid=129
    504MB - limitation where the system is limited by the compatibility with the values of the BIOS system and the ATA interface by help of using the CHS mode. This limitation is valid for older computers 286/386/486. (1024 cyl 16 heads x 63sectors/track x 512 = 528,482,304bytes - 504 MB). In many cases special programs will help (Disk Ontrack Manager - Seagate, Disk Wizard - WD). Some operating systems can have problems with this software support and can have higher requirements on your knowledge of the OS and used programs.
    2GB - Limitation of the maximal value of the FAT16 file system partition for DOS and Windows 9x. Some older computers cannot address more than 4095 cylinders (4,095 x 16 x 63x 512 - 2,113,413,120 bytes)
    4GB Limitation of Windows NT - Partition with the FAT16 system cannot be higher than 4GB - Fdisk cannot be used for creating, but the Disk manager is used (Disk management in Windows 2000)
    8GB - Limitation of the BIOS system. For the support of larger capacities you need extended functions of the BIOS system. Limitations valid for the x86 computers and some motherboards with Pentium and Pentium II processors. Some other operating systems must know how to use the extended BIOS functions (Extended Interrupt 13). We can use Windows NT 4.0 as an example where you need an updated disk driver or the Service Pack. (OS - DOS 6.xx and lower, Windows 3.x and lower and some other older OS do not have the support of the Ext. Int13).
    8 GB - Limitation of the FDISK program in the DOS 6.22 OS.
    ?? GB - Possible problem with disks larger than 67GB under Windows 9x... See article WD800
    32GB - (65535 x 16 x 63 x 512 - 33,822,351,360 bytes) other limitation of the BIOS system.
    68GB - Possible problem with disks larger than 67GB under Windows 9x... See article WD800
    137GB - Limit for the ATA specifications (28-bit addressing for particular sectors - 268435455 sectors - 137,438,952,960 bytes)
    2,2 TBytes - 32-bit addressing used by new operating systems (in Windows 98 by help of the FAT32 file system).
    144 PetaBytes - a limit for new ATA specification using 48-bit addressing, in peparation. Maxtor, Microsoft, VIA, Compaq and other companies under name Big Drives participate the development. The standard should be implemented and authorized by the ANSI NCITS T13 Technical Committee organization (www.t13.org) in the prepared ATA/ATAPI-6 standard (see www.maxtor.com/bigdrive)

  • Satellite Pro L300 won't start

    I have got a Satellite Pro L300 laptop and it will not do anything on startup (in other words on pressing the power button and not going past very first screen).
    The keyboard works, but F2 ,F8 or F12 won't do anything, I can here the hard-drive powerup but its like no-one is at home. I don't know if its the motherboard or the on-board battery. The computer is about 7-8 yrs old
    Can anyone help.

    Yes, this it correct; the Ram modules should be checked. In my opinion you should use good, tested modules.
    Some years ago my notebook did not boot up because one of the modules died.
    This affected the notebook functionality and display stayed black even pressing the power button.
    At the other hand you could try this simple workaround. Sometimes this helps too:
    - remove battery, disconnect AC adaptor
    - press and hold the power button 30 sec long
    - connect both parts battery and ac adaptor and power up the unit.
    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro 2100 won't start at all - LED start flashing

    My SP2100 has started having power problems, and now won't start at all. The AC adapter green LED is on, as are the relevant lights on the laptop body (although the 'battery charging' light always stays orange these days). When I attempt switch on, boot up starts (and has in fact been successful on occasion until this morning), however the battery indicator and the adapter lights start flashing, and everything shuts down again.
    On the rare occasions when I get past this stage, the lights keep flashing, and the system soon shuts down again with a 'low battery' screen message. Until this morning, it would sometimes settle down, the computer stayed on, and the lights showed a steady state as normal.
    I initially thought that the problem was obviously the battery or the AC adapter, but now I'm beginning to think that it lies with laptop's internal power adapter (although I suspect that the battery is probably shot following all this part charging and discharging).
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I think you are right. Flashing LEDs are a sign that some hardware is faulty.
    I can't say what's exactly the problem, this should be checked by a technicain.
    On the other side I'm not sure if it is worth to repair such an old machine.
    Bye

  • Satellite Pro L20 won't start up on battery

    Hi
    I have a Sat Pro L20 and it wouldn't start up on battery; I have to plug it into the mains to work. It says the battery level is at 88%. The laptop is less than a years old so i don't think there's a problem with the battery.
    Thanks.

    Maybe there something wrong with the power supply electronic on the motherboard???
    According to you info the warranty should be valid. So contact the Asp in your country immediately and ask for further handling.
    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro P200-15W: After Bios Update 1.90 fan incredibly noisy

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200-15W, I've recently done a BIOS update to version 1.9 and seems to have been a big mistake :-/.
    After restarting the computer I had a lot of software deconfig and now the fan has become incredibly noisy.
    I have the problem with the Toshiba Vista registration software, I get this message: "Vista registration has stopped working". I've read other threads, I don't want to just disable it from the start.ini file, I'd like to actually solve the problem if there's a way.
    Is there a way to change the fans configuration? I've read a Toshiba post about another notebook model that had the same problem of noisy fans after a BIOS update, they gave to that a solution with a new version of BIOS, is there a way to reverse the BIOS to the previous version? (will the restore CD be helpful for that purpose?)
    Cheers
    Edgard

    Hi
    It seems the fan table was changed and renewed in the new BIOS version and therefore the fans run ofttimes.
    Why the fan table was changed?
    Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve decrease the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with full performance.
    This helps to prevent the hardware from damage!!
    Usually the Recovery CD formats the whole HDD (partitions too) and installs only the Toshiba image on the notebooks HDD.
    The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
    But you can try to recover the notebook to see if the software issues like "Vista registration" can be solved!
    If you want to reverse the BIOS you have to contact the ASP in your country!!!
    Sorry but this everything what I can suggest!
    Best regards

  • Satellite PRO P200 (PSPB7E): LAN trouble Resource Conflict - PCI Network

    Hey,
    I have a Satellite PRO P200 and I have some trouble with the lan. (not the wireless one).
    When I plug in the network cable, the system want start at all. The blue power let turns on and that's all tha happens.
    If i turn the portable off, unplug the cable and turn it on, it starts, but the network adapter is no longer installed.
    I already downloaded the Realtek driver for Vista 32 bits from the website, but no difference.
    The driver is actually not recognized as being a right driver for the device. I have select the driver manually from a list (using have disk etc..) to get it installed. After the re-installation all the settings of the network adapter in Vista or gone, it always on dhcp.
    I already had a blue screen (vista dump), while installing the device.
    And an error:
    Resource Conflict - PCI Netword Controller in slot 08
    Bus:04, Device:00, Function:00
    Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to setup.
    I also tried to turn of the lan as third boot device, but it automaticaly turns on again.
    I also tried to update the bios to the latets version, it succeeded (no problem at all), but it did not solve my problem.
    Any idees?
    hardware failure?
    I guess it's not possible the switch the lan device?

    Hello
    I have read many stories here but your one is really unbelievable. I do not know what is wrong there but try to enter BIOS settings and set it to default. After doing this install OS using recovery media.
    Now you you will have clean preinstalled OS and your notebook will have factory settings. Please test the LAN card functionality again. If the problem persists you need professional help.

  • Re: How can I add a second internal hard disk to a Satellite Pro P200?

    I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard disk. There is a second bay under the computer for another internal hard disk but I have not been able to find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5" SATA drive but I cannot see a connector.
    I contacted Dutch Toshiba Customer support who said that it was the official policy not to provide any information about a second hard internal disk. They also said that they would not supply any parts to make it possible.
    Can anyone provide some more information?

    Hello
    I have the same notebook with the same situation. The fact is that covers and the construction for all P200 notebooks is the same but notebooks are delivered with different hardware platforms. Some models are delivered with two HDDs.
    Other models (like yours and mine) are delivered with one HDD but without possibility for upgrade with second HDD.

  • Blank screen after display driver update Satellite Pro P200

    I installed the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 display driver (8.432, from the Toshiba site via Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. On rebooting everything looks fine as far as the Windows Vista Business "Please wait ..." screen, but instead of displaying the login page I get a blank screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as normal). All I can do at this point is power off, and I've run out of ideas on how to get any further.
    Things I've tried:
    # booting into safe mode, low-resolution video or last known good configuration all result in the same blank screen.
    # connecting to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) isn't possible because the system hasn't loaded the network drivers yet.
    # I can't revert to a restore point because Vista can't find any (I made a manual one after installing windows updates on a couple of days ago).
    I can run a command prompt from the system recovery options and would prefer to use that to disable the driver +if+ I knew how before resorting to the more drastic options.
    A web search (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
    previous releases of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at give a solution that's available to me.

    No joy with an external screen so I bit the bullet and reinstalled from the product recovery disk. I tried expert mode to retain the data partition but that failed twice, so I had to restore it from the previous day's backup after doing a full reinstall. Two consolations, though.
    # It allowed me to increase the size of the data partition.
    # The display driver update worked fine on the fresh install.
    Needless to say I've since found [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927525] which describes how you can disable a problem device driver (atikmdag in my case) from the system recovery command prompt :-(
    Hopefully the instructions in there will help anybody who gets caught with similar problems.

  • Satellite Pro P200-HD: How to use it with Win XP

    I recently got the new Satellite Pro P200 HD from Getech. I asked Getech to change the OS to XP because my university will not support Vista. I was told that some of the functionality will be lost with XP, such as the hot key utility and I accepted to go ahead.
    However I wasn't informed that the sound will be scratchy and the video will behave as if I am playing a scratched CD.
    This is true with sounds from windows as well. I have not been able to enjoy music or video. I have all drivers up-todate and the new XP Bios released recently has been updated.
    Please does anyone know someone using this model with XP as OS with the sound and video functioning properly?
    This would mean I have been sold a laptop with a faulty sound hardware and should get a replacement because I have had this problem from day one.
    Thanks for the help in advance.
    Calvin

    I purchased a Toshiba P200-140 pre-installed with Vista and had it changed (I live in Bulgaria) by a local computer technician to Windows XP. The sound and everything else works perfectly and is of excellent quality. The technician did say that he had numerous problems trying to find all the correct drivers, and I am now in the process of trying to get copies of the drivers in case I ever need to re-load XP. Can you tell me where you downloaded the drivers for your laptop, and what drivers are needed please.

  • 2nd hard drive in Satellite Pro P200

    Hi everyone
    I have a Satellite Pro P200.
    Does anyone know where I can get a lead and a caddy to install a 2nd hard drive?

    As far as I know your notebook can be upgraded with second HDD if SATA connector is available.
    When you remove HDD cover for second HDD can you see it or not?
    I have Satellite P200D with place for second HDD but there is no HDD SATA connector so upgrade is not possible.

  • Data transfer from 08 macbook pro that won't start up to new macbook pro?

    i have a 2008 macbook pro which won't start up properly, although, it will will start up with the Ctrl+T command which to my knowledge allows it to become like an external hard drive.
    my question is, which cable will i need to transfer data to my newer macbook pro that only has thunderbolt connections, and what are the limitations to the files i can move over? basically i need all my document files, iTunes files, and garage band files...

    1. You need a FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter.
    2. All of your personal files can be moved over.

  • My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

    My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Hi there,
    you try the following:
    Uninstall the downloaded webcam driver, go to the [Chicony website|http://www.chicony.com.tw/] and download the webcam drivers from there.
    After installing them you shouldnt have any problems.
