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.

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.

Satellite L675D-S7106 Wont start!

I was using the laptop earlier today and everything was working fine. I came back to use it a few hours later and it won't turn on. The cd drive still opens. You can hear it start to turn on and then it stops within about 3 seconds. I've tried unplugging with the battery out and pressing the power button and nothing happens. Help please!

Let's try a proper system reset one more time, and see if this brings your system back. Power off the laptop, unplug everything including the AC from the unit, remove the battery, press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds, replace the battery and AC, power on, if you see the Toshiba logo, press the 'F2' key to enter the BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, and then try to boot into Windows.
If this doesn't work, try all the other methods here:

What must i do, buy a new accu? a new adapter or is internally wrong with the laptop?

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 L750 won't start at all.

Hi, I own a Toshiba satellite l750 (part number PSK2YA-04K010) and rather unexpectedly, it's just refusing to start. The lights at the front are on for the power adaptor, so it's not the power supply, and the power light flashes for maybe three seconds when I press the on button, but the laptop does not even start (no fan noise or anything". The power light seems to flash periodically at random as well. I've had the laptop since May at last year, and in December I had to get the hard drive replaced. I did get a blue screen with the message "Kernel page error" maybe a week ago, but other than that, no warning signs. If any one could help, it would be great. Thanks.

Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections.
If it still won't start, remove the battery and start with just the AC power. Next try without the AC power and just the battery. Also, check that the RAM is inserted securely. Instructions can be found in your user's guide if you need.
If that doesn't help at all, contact support in your region to seek service.

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

Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976 wont let me download

I just got a new Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976 yesterday, and I downloaded a couple of programs already, then I had trouble downloading a few:
iTunes
MapleStory
Sony Vegas 8
There's different problems with each program, But iTunes and Sony Vegas always run the same;
They open, ask run or cancel, and when I press run, this window pops up.
With Maplestory, it opens, extracts the file, THEN the same window pops up. I don`t know what I did. My brother has a Toshiba with Windows 7 too and it works perfectly fine for him.
I`ve searched all day long, and nothing works. Running as administrator does nothing, it still happens. I would reformat or clear my hard drive, but I didn`t get a disk to reinstall Windows 7 onto my laptop.
Any Solutions?

Sony Vegas Pro 8 doesn't run under Windows 7 according to Sony. Only version 9 runs under WIn 7 so that takes care of that.
What version of iTunes?
Have you checked with Maplestory or Apple about what you need to run their software on WIndows 7?

Toshiba Satellite P25-S676 wont go into bios.

I have a Toshiba Satellite P25-S676 - When turning it on, it goes through the initial memory check, and gives options for hitting f2 to go into bios, or f12 to change boot sequence. If I don't hit a key, it proceeds, but goes to a black screen and stays there. If I hit F2 it shows the message "entering setup..." then goes to a black screen. When pressing f12, I get the message "entering boot sequence.." and then black screen. It never goes into windows, or bios or boot sequence. It goes right to a black screen and stays there.
The intial text when turning on the computer is bright, and clear, so I don't think it's the backlight. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Charlie

you may also want to try a few other things while you at it.
remove battery and unplug the charger and then hold down the power button for 30 seconds. re-install battery and try booting up (with and without charger adapter plugged in).
If you have personal information on the hard drive that you want to preserve and do not have a backup, you should focus on doing that first. This may entail removal of the HD and connecting it to a working computer and then doing a backup of those files. This will aslo tell you if the HD is working or not.
Burn a xp repair disk and try booting from that (although if you can't get f12 to chnage the boot sequence this may not work).
Give more detail as to what the indicator lights do when you attempt to boot.

Any news seal?
Did get the notebook working?
You should be able to access the BIOS even if the HDD is faulty.
In case the HDD malfunction, the BIOS should not recognize the HDD and the HDD details should not be listed in BIOS settings (first BIOS page)
In case the HDD is OK, you should test the RAM modules because faulty RAM module (one or both) would prevent the notebook from booting up.

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 x205-sli1 wont start

Help. My x205-sli1 was working fine, and i just went to start it up and all i get is 3 beeps, the screen doesnt turn on and nothing else works. what is wrong with it?

Satellite X205-SLi1 Specifications
Satellite X205-SLi1 Downloads
First, there is no mention of the Toshiba Recovery procedures in the X205 Series User's Guide. So, it's safe to assume that this unit came out just before Toshiba started consistently putting recovery partitions on their HDDs. As a result, the F: partition on C: drive is unlikely to be the recovery partition, especially as the recovery partition would never have received a drive letter, and would not appear as an NTFS partition inside Windows.
You can still order a set of recovery disks though. As a number of Vista 32bit drivers and utilities will be retained after the upgrade, this is still worthwhile. See the bottom of this list to see the Vista 32bit drivers & utilities that are retained in Win7.
Next, given the model's specs, this unit can only handle a maximum of 4GB of RAM. So, there is essentially no benefit to installing Win7 64bit. Plus, you would have to do a clean/custom install to go from Vista 32bit to Win7 64bit, as you cannot use the upgrade method in this scenario. So, I would only upgrade to Win7 32bit. In fact, if you check the model's downloads page, you'll note there's a more complete set of drivers & utilities for Win7 32bit, than there is for the 64bit edition.
Regardless, you want to thorougly read, and follow the directions below, and use the software installer:
How To Manually Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 - Satellite X205 (SLi)

Please let us know how it turns out. Good luck.
