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 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 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

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

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.

Completely new Macbook Pro 13'' wont start!

Hey there. I'm pretty desperate now. After waiting for some time for my new(first) macbook pro, I finally received it today. My problem is now that it's stuck in the window with the Apple logo and the spinning loading wheel at the first start. What can I do? I've tried SMC, but that didn't help. Now I really hope that you guys can sort it out for me!
Thanks
The model is MBP 13.3/2.4 ordered a week ago

Started working after some tries! When i held the C-key during bootup, I got to the installer!

Macbook pro os wont start

hi
i have a macbook pro running leopard and i cannot get my os to start up. it goes to the grey apple screen wtih the wheel at the bottom then to the dark grey restart screen. ive never had this problem before. any ideas?!...

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This is usually a kernel panic issue*:

I suggest first off telling us the state of your backup, and if there is none, look into data recovery options*:

Once your data is safe, we can discuss further options.

Mu macbook pro 2012 wont start it goes into this i cant get anything help please

my macbook pro is only on safe mode, was working fine then plugged in battery charger and it came up with a funny screen and voice asking what language i wanted i did disc repair but it said it didnt need it all i can get into is the help line PLEASE HELP

Adam,
if preserving your files is worth your effort, then copy them to an external drive; if not, then don’t. Once you’ve preserved whatever you care to, go back into Disk Utility from Recovery mode, select your internal disk from the left-hand side of the window (probably the first item in the list), and select the Erase tab on the right-hand side. In the Format dropdown, select “Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)”; in the Name textbox, enter the name for your reformatted volume (“Macintosh HD” is typical); and then press the Erase… button. Once the erasure is completed, exit Disk Utility, and then select Shut Down from the Apple menu. When you power it up, OS X Internet Recovery will download your MacBook Pro’s original version of OS X from Apple’s servers, and then reïnstall it. When it restarts after the installation, run Software Update to bring it up-to-date, and then copy your preserved files back to your internal disk.

Macbook Pro just wont start?

Ive had my MBP for little over a week and everything was working fine. A few days ago I tried turning it on and the LED light on the button that flips the screen up came on, I could hear everything inside spinning around and whatever so that all seemed fine but I couldnt hear any sounds that you normally hear when you turn it on (Like that big DUMMM when the apple logo appears) and the screen just stays black. So its as though ti starts, but just before the screens about to turn on, everything stops. The usual reaction kicked in, i s* myself! Considering this MBP was bought for me for my course and it needs to be handed in at the end so it is not technically mine. I held the power button and turned it off, pressed the power button and turned it on again and it worked. So i didnt think much of it. Then it became more frequent and last night I was on safari and safari just crashed, i tried force quit and then my MBP just switched off. I tried to turn it on and the same thing happened, only it hasnt switched back on no matter how hard I try. Its been broke since last night and I need it preferably for tommorow morning.
Ive looked and there seems to be similar problems, but they all get solutions like Hold the power button, hold cntl, cmd, p and r and whatever but that doesnt help me. Nothing happens!
Also I placed a DVD in my MBP to check if the optical drive was working fne and it succesfully swalloed it without giving it back and now I dont know how to get that out. Ive tried turning it on and holding the mouse button (even though its a trackpad) and nothing works.
HELPPPP?!
Would anybody reccomend the genius bar? Plus does it cost? Do I need proof the MBP is mine because all the documents are at the place where I take my course.

I dont have the installer disk, its all at where I do my course... The only thing I have is my laptop and power lead. I was hoping I could et it fixed myself so its like it never happened and it can be forgotton about. Sounds a bit wierd but you know... Saves the ear ache.
And i meant does the genius bar cost? Sorry for the inconvenience. (Spelling :S)
EDIT: The cmd, option o and f keys dont work.

Macbook pro 2010 wont start up?

My wife used my macbook pro in battery mode until it went flat and died on her. She plugged it in to recharge and when she tried using it again it just opened the first grey screen (with spinning wheel) and stayed like that!! Ive tried some suggested reboots to no avail and now it opens grey screen with spinning wheel and a bar apears below for a minute or so then it just closes down again. Any ideas guys??? Cheers:)

Well, I´m the geeky type of guy, so I have quite a lot of computers, so what I did is I took the hard drive out of my MacBook Pro and inserted it into a 2.5" external enclosure, then copied the files i wanted on to another computer.
Then put hard drive backing computer and insert a Mac OS 10.6.3 Snow Leopard install disk > partition the hard drive and install Snow Leopard > copy the data from the computer that you have previously copied the data on to a memory stick or a external hard drive and transfer it to your MacBook Pro
Thats what i´ve done
hope this helps!

Macbook Pro 17" Wont start up/ Install OS X

When I got the Mac it had the problem When I tried to boot it up it would show the apple logo, a loading bar and then it would just power off .... (Not boot up).
And when I tried to boot into recovery mode using the OS X disc and a Bootable USB I made. It would get stuck on a screen with the prohibitory symbol and would just stay like that. (http://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/2010/01/29/e8ec4a91-fdba-11e2-8c7c-d4ae52e62bc c/96a6baa6398cfcfbbf90ea5d99e3ccf3/ProhibitorySign.png)
Took it to a local PC repair shop, but they couldn't fix it but told me the HDD was faulty/corrupt. So I bought a new HDD and installed it and when I boot it up I get the flashing folder symbol, as it is a new or blank HDD. But again when I try to install OS X using the disc i still get the prohibitory symbol
Help!!!!!
Going to college in a few weeks and really need this to be fixed A.S.A.P

It is helpful if you would indicate the exact model MBP you have.
Install the HDD in an enclosure and attach it to the MBP.
Take the original installation disk (Leopard?) and start up the MBP and install the OSX on the external HDD. Boot the MBP from the external HDD. If that is successful, it indicates the internal SATA cable is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Ciao.

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

G5 wont start

I gave a dual processor G5 Mac Pro that wont start. This happened after it had sat unplugged fro a prolonged time. Now when I push the startup button, the power light goes on momentarily, there is a click, and then the power light goes off. I have replaced the 3.6V battery and pressed the small setet button on the logic board. Still same problem.

Firstly there are PowerMac G5s, and then there are Intel (non-PowerPC) Mac Pro.
Mac Pro came out Aug 2006 1,1

My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it.

My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it. I've tried different power plugs. Going direct into the wall, through a power strip. By iteslf, with other devices plugged in. I removed hard drives, and some RAM, and nothing. Sometimes it would not turn on, and then some minutes later it works. So its was sparatic, but now its been the same situation for three days where it wont turn on.
I'm guessing power supply, but I wanted to see if anyone had a similar expereince and what the solution was, before I drag this beast to my local Apple store and have them look at it. Its a real pain to get it there and back and I want to be armed with some info for them. I already dragged this to them when it first started to do this, and of course it started up just fine for them. And you know if it works for the Genius then theres nothing wrong with. No matter what you explain to them.
I figure if anyone had a the same problem and was able to resolve it, I can relate that experience to the Genius even if it start up for them.
Thanks

Try a SMC Reset using the extended method:
Remove the AC power cord.
Press the power-on button. [This drains the stored charge from the power supply]
wait a quarter minute.
Restore the power cord, being certain to JAM it into the socket, as the big block of rubber inhibits proper seating.
wait a quarter minute
attempt to power on.
If no joy, examine the button battery half-hidden behind the graphics card. Remove it to measure the Voltage. A new battery should not cost over US$5, and measures a little over 3 Volts. BR-2032 is used in garage door opener controls and car door locks controls. The geeks at Radio Shack can measure it for you.
