Toshiba model# PSC2EU-05400L will not startup

I have a one year old Toshiba laptop that will not startup. Battery is good, power supply is good. green LED is on left front of laptop.. No fan noise, screen stays black. laptop has only been turned on maybe ten times. Unfortunately it is just out of warranty.
I don't think my next machine will be a Toshiba if this is not an easy fix.

If you truely do not hear the fan come on (and you should) or the hard drive (again, you should) when you boot up, and only the green power light is on, then I would think it may be either a power issue or a thermal issue (leaning toward former). thermal issue usually the computer comes on, then immediately shuts off.
have you tried taking the battery out and holding down the power button for 20-30 seconds, then reinstall battery. try to boot up. If this doesn't work, try taking the battery out and just booting up with the power adapter plugged in. If that doesn't work just try battery alone. Post back

Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)

Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
I re set up my Airport network , having had 4 expresses for years doing a good job. I bought another and an express, but then a time capsule after my external drive died. .Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
I moved house and have fibre network so 38mb/s - they all look ok on the utility, but its not till I saw the App version that they are not compatible as mac will not upgrade the version 6 ones, leaving me with 2 disjointed networks and 7 appliances, 4 of the old , 3 of the new.
my new house is expansive so i wanted the extended range and airplay in each room.
This is not told to customers, and utility doesnt show any issues.
I do not seem to get any range from either network now, - and I'm quite experienced with airport (6 yrs of setting up & using & extending)
Any advice ?

What lead_org is referring to is commonly known as "re-balling" which involves unsoldering the Southbridge chip from the planar, replacing all (6-700) solder balls with new ones and then re-attaching it under heat/pressure.

After updating firefox it will not startup. norton shows that update.exe is safe??????

If i click on the popup window for norton i can delete the files in the "0" folder under mozilla-updates folder and firefox will work until it updates itself again. then the process starts over. What can i do to fix this? Without deleting the file, Firefox will not startup

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

My Aluminum MacBook Pro will not startup (no chime), only sound is the dvd(dl) that is spinning inside. I have tried everything I know (dmc? reset), still disk spinning but no chime, (this is a spare-backup).

All of a sudden,will not startup (no chime), only sound is the dvd(dl) that is spinning inside. I have tried everything I know (dmc? reset), removing 1 memory module at a time and trying to startup, still no chime only spinning of disk, still disk spinning, (this is a spare-backup), and I dont want to spend alot of $.
my next ts is to open it up and disconnect the dvd drive (maybe it is hung up????) the hd is the original 1, maybe the power supply.......ANY suggestions?

TS1365 My MacBook Pro will not startup. At all. The suggestions from Apple Support are not helping. At all. Someone help?!?

My MacBook Pro will not startup. Its not responding at all. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can correct this?

HI Catherine,
First, make sure it it shut down by holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds. Plug in the power adapter. Press the power button and hold down the shift key to see if you can start in Safe Mode.
If the power adapter and/or battery are known good, the next thing I'd check would be the RAM to make sure it is securely seated. If batt and/or power adapter are questionable, then you'll want to find one or both and try them out; if you don't know someone with a similar MBP, this might be most easily accomplished by making a free appointment at an Apple Store "genius" bar.

My macbook pro will not startup, startup disc is full

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
If you are no longer able to boot your computer, then the drive is too full and has become corrupted. You may be able to repair it using Disk Utility on your Installer DVD:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If this doesn't work, then you will have to erase the drive and install OS X from scratch. From the Tiger installer disc you will choose the Erase and Install install option.

Imac will not startup

Greetings,
my 2007 imac 2.8 GHz running OS 10.6.8 started acting funny - slow disc access, internet access, etc. then stopped working all together last night. Now will not startup, even with C key held down and trying to start from a disk. I see a blank gray screen with the whirling icon then screen goes blank and shuts off. I spent an hour with Apple tech support and nothing we tried will start up the computer. Question - is this how imacs die? If I buy a new imac, can apple salvage my data? and no, time capsule never worked on my computer so I was not able to back up the data.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
THanks everyone for reading this.

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

Firefox will not startup at my homepage.

I recently updated to Firefox 4. Firefox will not startup at my homepage. It starts up at the last website(s) I was on before ending my previous session. Under options it is set to startup at my homepage but still will not no matter what I have tried. The only reason this is annoying is because if I ended on a website that is password protected before signing out it doesn't seem to sign me out automatically like the previous version I had.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

My iPod touch touch will not startup

My 3rd generation iTouch will not startup completely. A screen comes up with a USB plug with an arrow showing to hook to iTunes. When I do this I get the message "iPod cound not be restored. An unknown error occured (9)".
Any suggestions? I know it's old however it hasn't seen much use.
Thanks
Charlie

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

My 2008 MacBook Pro (A1260) will not startup

Greetings!
I was given a 2008 MacBook Pro that will not startup. I press the power button and it trys to start for like 5 seconds and goes no further. The battery is fully charged and the powercord is pluged in. I know that Apple has it listed a "Vintage", but I'd like to get it working. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David

David,
were you also given two grey installation DVDs which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro, called “Mac OS X Install Disc 1” and “Mac OS X Install Disc 2”? You’ll need those discs to be able to further diagnose the current problem. If those discs weren’t given to you, you can purchase a replacement pair from Apple.

Computer will not startup

Computer will not startup or use the system recovery.

Could you be a bit more specific about what it does/does not do? For instance-does it power up at all? Does it power up but stops at HP logo screen, or ??

Laptop will not startup.. please help!!

I have a L505D-S5983 w/ Windows 7 that will not start up. when i turn the power on everything looks good, the Toshiba screen pops up like always, then this black "Windows Error Recovery" screen pops up and gives me 2 options 1) Launch Startup Repair and 2) Start Windows Normally. ive dealt with this issue many times on many computers and either option always gets the computer running, but with this machine whenever i press "Start Windows Normally", the screen with the little wavey Windows flag pops like its loading up for about 15 seconds then the computer automatically restarts to the Toshiba screen. when i click the "Launch Startup Repair" option it shows a small progress bar at the bottom of the screen for about 5 seconds then goes to a completely blank black screen with only the arrow pointer showing and just stays there. ive let it sit for over an hour like that and nothing changes. i did a memory diagnostic check which did nothing. im a novice w comps so i dont know what to do. i lost my backup recovery CD so that wont help. could i download one somewhere? would that fix my problem? im so frustrated.. ive had nothing but problems with this laptop since the day i bought it. but i need it running asap. i greatly appreciate any help!!!

first, don't panic! just kidding
if you have not already made recovery discs then you will have to order them from toshiba. that is, unless we are able to use the hidden partition to restore to out-of-box state. Before that though, you should try a few things as going to out-of-box is going to compeltely wipe everything off of your computer.
turn off computer, then when you turn on, spam (hit once ever second) the f8 key and see if you can get into emergeny boot options menu. If it doesn't go in first try, try at least 4-5 more times as it's all about timing the f8 key. if successful, try to boot into safe mode. if you have made it that far, post back.

Toshiba Satellite A305-S6872 Will not start up

I have the above mentioned computer and it is 2 years old. Last year in January the hard drive crashed and had to have new one installed at Best Buy. Now it will not start up. When I turn it on the Toshiba screen displays with F2 and F12 options. Then the creen goes black and the following displays:
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI-E Ethernet Controller v1.07 (080320)
PXE-E61: <edia test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
I insert the recovery CD and it says windows loading files then has a screen that says Selecting a Process: Toshiba Recovery Wizard or System Recovery Options. I choose System Recover Options and then choose English language and US keyboard layout. Then the following screen comes up: Select an operating system to repair .... If you do not see your operating system listed click Load Drivers to load drivers for your hard disks. When I choose Load Drivers I do not know where to find the OS driver. When I click Next and choose Startup Repair it says it is unable to fix the problem automatically.
I don't want to choose Toshiba recover Wizard because it says it will erase everything. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

The exact same thing happened to me yesterday Feb 5!!!
During normal use of windows 7 the computer crashed and went through the same boot procedure as described by the previous poster.
Now I can't do anything with my hard drive. I tired everything. I even tried restoring it from the backup image that I have, but it said that it cannot find hard drive!
I do not have Toshiba Recovery. Can I download it from somewhere?
Does anyone have any suggestions? After booting from Win 7 Recovery Disk, I even tried fixing the MBR and partitions, but I would always get an error message that the system doesn't support the software I tried using (guessing because it's 64bit?)
Please, any suggestion is most welcome and appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Djape
