Toshiba Satellite P105 Does Not Start up

I have Satellite P105 which was purchase almost 3 years ago (No warranty). It has a display problem and hence I use an external monitor as the primary display. Till last week, it was working okay. Last Sunday, I shut down the machine and since then it is not at all starting. When the power button is pressed, the power light glows, the HDD light blinks for a second or so and then nothing happens. It I keep the power button pressed for 5 seconds, the power LED goes off. This is happening on battery as well as on AC adapter. Also I have tried this with external monitor as well as without it but no improvement. It even does not go to BIOS setup or no BIOS message is displayed. If I insert any disk in optical drive (when the pwoer LED is glowing), it tries to read the disk and then again nothing happens. I tried replacing the RAM module but the result is same. Recently, when it was working okay, while booting, it used to give a beeping sound till windows screen appeared.
Since I am using external monitor, I might have closed the lid while the shutdown was taking place when I switched it off last time..
Can any one suggest what is wrong and how to solve this issue?

Hi,
Thanks for your help and the probable suggestions.
The model No is S6024 and the power adapter is working okay. Anyway, I could solve the problem by doing following. I am not sure if that is what solved the issue but there are highly chances that this could be a solution since that was my last effort to start it again.
I opened up the compuer (thanks a ton to www.irisvista.com for that), located the CMOS battery and disconnected the battery from motherboard for about 20 minutes. After connecting the battery again, I re-assembeled computer and then started it again. The initial start was not encouraging but after the second try (it took slighly longer than usual to start this time) it showed the boot screen and it booted without any problems. I had to adjust the date (which is an indication that CMOS was resetted) but now it is booting without any problems.
Thanks to everybody who has gone through this post and tried to help in whatever manner they can.

Satellite A200 does not start anymore.

Hello, im trying to find a whats going on with my laptop. It's a Satellite A200 on Windows 7 professional.
From a few days ago i cant start the laptop anymore. It doesnt look like a software issue because when i push the power button, the only thing that happens is the power led turns on (blue color) and, 2 seconds later, starts to blink orange. And never passes this stage.
The screen remains as off, and i think, the BIOS does not start as well.
Ive already tried to remove the Ram and the hard drive - Keeps doing the same. Doesnt even bleeps over the missing Ram or drive!!!
Anyone have any ideia about whats going on??!! Please anwser!
Sorry for the english. Portugal here ;)

> Do you kown if this is a comom problem with this laptop model?? Because i have read in a few forums that is a common problem with this laptop
Unfortunately, this is a common problem for many laptop models. My old laptop (non Toshiba one) also had such problem with southbridge malfunction. I just threw it into garbage as replacing mobo is pretty expensive procedure. it's better to buy new one or second-hand

Satellite C660 does not start up

Yesterday we purchased a Satellite C660 with Windows 7 64bit installed. Worked just fine but today the laptop does not start up again. Updates were installed but after pressing the power button the light of the hdd turns on for a few seconds, the vents work for two seconds and then ... nothing !
Please help !

You cannot start notebook at all?
Can you enter BIOS settings with F2 at start up?
Which updates have you installed?
If nothing works you have only one choice: either bring it back to your local dealer and ask for replacement or contact Toshiba service provider directly. They can check hardware and help you with this.

Toshiba Satellite L300 - Will not start

I have a Toshiba Satelitte L300 Laptop, the DC in power plug was loose so Pulled it apart and refixed the adapter, it ran OK for a while.
Prior to fixing the plug, there were many times when switched on the fan would start, power light would turn green and orange at the same time, run for about 3 seconds then shut down.
It would not start again until DC power plug removed and battery taken out, then all put back in again, the same would happen again, this could go on until finally giving up.
Other times happen once or twice then run without a problem.
If all is well only the green power light should illuminate.
Other times fan would start, power light would turn green run for 3 seconds, fan stop switched off, then immediately start again then ran with no problems.
Now when power switch pressed, orange and green led's come on, runs for 3 seconds then switches off, you can not try to start it again until DC power plug removed and battery taken out, when all put back in again the same thing keeps happening.
With battery in, then plug in DC, the DC and Battery lights come on at the same time.
With Battery removed, plug in DC, the DC light can take from 3 to 15 seconds to come on.
With Battery in and DC plugged in, try to start runs 3 seconds and stops , both DC and Battery lights remain on.
Do the same again and remove DC supply only, both DC and Battery lights remain on.
Do the same again and Battery only, both DC and Battery lights remain on.
Remove Battery and unplug DC, wait around 30 seconds, plug DC in again, it takes around 3 to 15 seconds for the DC light to come on.
When plugged into DC battery charges OK.
I have changed memory, hard drive, checked all connections to the motherboard used another Power Supply, but could not find a problem.
Would appreciate any advise.

Hi I know this is an old post but it is so similar to my problems (seems common) I wondered if anyone has any suggestions?
I have 2 L300's one had a broken screen for a long time so I used it through my tv and worked well till a few months back when it refused to switch on as above.
I was then given another L300 (bit better spec with a web cam) That died last week when the power jack snapped inside so I decided to make 1 good one out of 2 no go's. I thought the problem was the hard drive on the one with the broken screen, so swapped screens and hard drives but the same no boot problem is happening :?
I have taken out the battery and plugged in (with thedifferent hard drive from original ) and got 'status oxc 0000411 and hyberfil sys errors
I changed back to the original hdd and still no go. I then took out the ram? gave it a look over and put it back and it started fine in safe mode and normally. I then turned it off to let it charge fully (which it is) and now it won't boot up again, fan and cd is working and I still have my system restore disk
I have XP on one hdd and vista on the other.
Any idea?
Also can anyone tell me if the ram and hard drives and any other bits are interchangeable?
The one with the web cam (in bits now) is Model PSLBOE 07 JOOSEN :? if that helps
and the one I am trying to get running is

Satellite 2410 does not start

Dear all,
I have a S2410-304S which worked properly until today.
After trying to repair the loud speaker I removed all parts to open the notebook to reach the meachanic parts near the loud speaker. But I could not remove the upper from the lower panel and put everything together.
Afterwards the system could not be started! The green LED`s for power supply and battery are lighting.
Can anybody help??
Thanks,
Eckhard

Hi Eckhard,
Try diconnecting the notebook from the AC supply and also removing the battery for a few minutes. Then re-connect the AC supply and try to power on your notebook.
If the system still does not boot then there will be a problem with your mainboard and you will need to get your notebook serviced by an authorised service agent.
regards,

Satellite A200 does not start up

Hi
overall, i was very happy with my A200, now 5 months old.
But last month, strange behaviour.
Vista always perfect closed.
Next day, want to start my PC.
_ON-button is doing nothing_, although battery is 100% ok.
-> SOLUTION is to remove battery, insert again and then with ON, the laptop is starting...
Other issue:
ON-button is starting up the laptop, but _screen remains black_.
-> Same solution, remove battery and start again.
Is this known? Solution ?
Thx
dave

JayJay is right. The BIOS update should helps to sort out this issue!
Check this Toshiba US page:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlView.jsp?soid=1991432
I would recommend updating the graphic card driver too.
How about Vista update?
You should check if the Vista is up-to-date!

My Satellite M30 does not start anymore

Hello,
I've a M30 laptop and it was a good laptop, but one day suddenly it crushed. When I boot up the laptop nothing happens, the Power Led switch on, and the battery and Power conection too.
Not any menssage is displayed on the screen, the screen stay black, iluminated but black, no BIOS, nothing at all. By the other side I can't hear tha habitual noise, no HDD, no FUN.
I've dissambled it, and look for any unwired conection, or any stupid problem, but I'can't find any.
Does anybody know what it's happening?
Juanma

Hi
I dont understand why you have disassembled this notebook if you have no experience with such fault diagnostic.
Believe me; usually its not possible to provide an exactly diagnostic. For me it looks like a motherboard fault, possibly also the CPU malfunction but who knows!
Without a notebook check its not easy to say whats wrong. So I think you will have to contact the ASP in your country to for a help.
Best regards and greetings

My Satellite A notebook does not start due to missing files

I have a Toshiba Satellite and at the start of every month is ***** out.
I brought it brand new about 2 years ago and at the start of every month it will not go into windows.
It wont even let me into safe mode or anything and it is not a virus as I expected it to **** out tonight.
So I did a virus scan and nothing showed up and then half an hour later it died, right on schedule. Im sick of this as each time it dies I have to use the recovery disk and it wipes everything. I have on there and after 2 years of having to restart everything all over again each month. Im ready to "accidentally" drop it in the pool and claim insurance on the dam thing. I dont get me wrong its great till the first of every month and without warning it just goes really slow, and when I restart it, it says a file is missing and wont boot up.
The weird thing is........... it is always the same time of the month and since today is the 4th it died so at Im on my 8s computer typing this while my Toshiba is restarting all over again.
IF U THINK, YOU CAN TELL ME WHY THIS IS HAPPING I will love u forever.
Im just so sick of having to reload everything and like last month I expected it to kill itself. So I did all the scans and cleaned it up.
But no it still died right on schedule..........hmm plz help

Hi sorry can't actually give you a solution to your problem but would say sounds as if you never thought to buy extended warranty on it, also if it did this within the first year what did Toshiba say about it as surely you asked them to look into it and if not, sorry but why on earth not? I can see why you thought it was a virus but sounds to me(not technically trained but using logic) that if it does it at the beginning of each month then its something wrong with the actual computer that deals with the clock and might be worth emailing Toshiba themselves and explain it to them and see what they say or take it to a computer shop and explain and ask them to look at it and see if they can find out what is causing it as sounds as if it's been doing this from the time you first bought it.

Satellite A660-11M on Windows 7 - Toshiba Power Saver does not work

I have a Satellite A660-11M and I work on Windows 7 Ultimate
The problem is that I have download all drivers and updates but the toshiba power saver does not work its installed with no error and TPSLaunch (green icon) does not open when I click on it and no icon I found in the control panel for the program afterIi install all the Value Added Package!

Toshiba Power Saver is only for XP installations, you can't install the XP Drivers (and most Vista Drivers) in Windows 7.
Make sure all your drivers are for the A660, and make sure they are for Windows 7.

Satellite L650-12Q does not start up

I have a toshiba L650Q laptop. Its been working fine since 1.5years now..
Just a couple of days back I closed the laptop ie closed the screen ( typically it puts the same in sleep mode).
After about 10 min when I tried to open & start up the laptop simply does not startup :(
I can see the battery & power adapter LED glow, but when I press the start button, it simply does not start..
there is momentary glow of the power on button, i hear the fan trying to start up & then it dies down in abt 2 seconds & laptop simply does not start up..
I tried the below troubleshooting steps but no success
1) I removed the battery & tried starting using the adapter, it dint start up
2) I put the battery out for like 1 hour & then tried again, it dint start up
Please advise the troubleshooting steps or any pointers as what could the problem be & how can i resolve it..

Try this:
- Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor.
- Press power button 30sec long
- Connect battery and AC adaptor to the notebook
- Try to power up the unit.
If this fails, check the memory modules.
Remove one module and try to boot the notebook using one module. Run the test for each slot and module.

Satellite A series does not start up after BIOS update

After bios update with downloaded utility my notebook does not start up.
Did this case covered by warranty?

Im not quite sure if this would be covered by warranty. You should contact the ASP in your country for details but I presume its not covered.
PS: Did you try this workaround:
- remove battery, disconnect the AC adaptor
- wait ~ 40min
- connect both devices again and try to power up the notebook

Satellite 1800-814 does not start if AC adapter is plugged in

Hello,
I've got a problem with my 3 year old 1800-814.
It all began with sudden Windows crashes. Sometimes it ran smooth, sometimes it just hung up. So I decided to reinstall the notebook. My Problem is when it is plugged into pressing the power on button does not start the laptop. Just the green light is on nothing else happens. Sometimes it starts after a wait of 3 or 5 secs. On battery it starts every time. What can I do? Defect hardware or just dust somewhere?
Thanks,
Jens Grieger

Hi,
If you have a voltage tester test the AC adapter and see if it has the right current voltage, which is written on the adapter. If it does, plug the adapter into the portable and move it around, see if the light turns on and off while you are moving the ac plug(near where it plugs in to the computer, to see if it is a loose ac harness inside the computer). Does the computer randomly turn off if you have the battery removed? Or do you notice that it suddenly switches to battery power and back to AC adapter while the adapter is plugged in? Could be the adapter. Check that first. If that is good, then check the adapter plug(located on the back of the computer, where the adapter plugs in) to see if it is loose. If you find that it is loose, you can take it to an Authorised Service Provider and have them fix it. I hope this helps.

WebAnalysis does not start after workspace is set on Windows Authentication

I've used [doc Hyperion System 9.3.x Configuring the BI+ Workspace for Single Sign-On (SSO) with Internet Information Services (IIS) [ID 1100096.1] to configure SSO for workspace users. It works fine. Though since then the WA service does not start anymore. The error message which is raised sounds very very familar but still I am not able to tackle it. The message in the log or the analysis console is "[WARN] [STANDBY] ExecuteThread: '1' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' com.hyperion.analyzer.utils.general.HYAUtil - Wait for workspace [
[WARN] Timer-2 com.hyperion.analyzer.utils.general.HYAUtil - ."
I am very sure it had something to do with rights/ permissions, but also after playing around with IIS and ntfs permissions for hours I can't get SSO en WA both working at the same time.
As soon as I set my workspace aplication in IIS on windows integrated, the SSO is working but as soon as a I restart the WA service it fails to start. When I set the workspace application IIS on anonymous the WA service start fine but then the SSO is not working anymore.
It drives me crazy.
Hopefully its a small matter for you to solve!
Thanks in advance.

Dont know exactly whats happened but I presume something went wrong during the update procedure.
If you will be not able to start the notebook in the safe mode or to boot the notebook then user the Toshiba recovery CD to gets the notebook working!
