Toshiba Satellite S655D won't start.

Laptop is running Windows 7, won't start at all. Fan won't kick on, can't hear the hard drive,. Power light is on, as is battery light and AC light. Sometimes when trying to start the power light will be on, and the battery and HDD light will flash. Also, the hard drive light will quickly flash when first trying to start
was able to have data transferred from hard drive,but don't know if hard drive is still operational. What might be the problem? thanks

Hi! See if you can burn one of these and boot with it. If the fan is not coming on that is not a good sign.http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/f/powersupplytest.htm

Toshiba satellite c655 won't start

toshiba satellite c655 when I start it up it gets to the first screen that says "Toshiba Leading innovation" blinks then loops only responding keys are F2 and F12. I tried holding "0" to restore following the virtual help desk's instructions but that doesn't work. Anybody know what the probloem could be or have a solution?

Gave it a try just now, not effective. I'll give customer support a try let you know if I get anything from it.

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.

My Toshiba Satellite A505 won't start up....

My pc was running fine. It shut down because we forgot to plug it in and charge it. When I did plug it in, I commenced to shut it down. When I tried to start it back up, NOTHING HAPPENED! There are lights telling me that I'm getting power, but NOTHING happens on my screen.
Can I fix this? Or, will it be covered under my 1 year warranty from Toshiba?

I have the same model, now 8 mos. old. Has worked great, until we went on vacation.I shut it down, closed the cover,I think for the very first time.It has never left my desk, so not abused in anyway.I came back after a week, opened it, turned it on, and got a white screen with vertical thin colored lines across the screen.It looked almost as if it was in the midst of defrag. I shut it down a few more times,and the same.Came on here and sombody had posted something about the battery and having it shutdown and plugged in for a period.I took the battery out, waited, tried it again.At one point I got the screen with the space for my password, then it like faded away.I finally gave up and called tech support. Useless....no clue, in spite of this similar issue posting here several times.Told me to plug in an external monitor(I had one oddly).If it worked on the monitor, I could take it to Best Buy to have it repaired under the warranty.He said to call back the next day after trying this and they would tell me what I needed to do.I plugged in the monitor, and perfect!!!At the same time, I noticed that when I close the cover part way, in order to see the other monitor,the laptop display screen was working as well.When I saw that,I lifted it up, and it went right back to the white with lines, and distortion.The external monitor continued operating.Now seems to me, it doesn't take a mental giant to figure out there is something going on in that hinge area.So I call back with the case number told the person(foreign of course) exactly what happened, and said, so I can take it to Best Buy and they can fix it, right?NOPE! He tells me the total opposite of what the guy the night before had said.Gives me another case number and says, I have to send it to their "repair depot" and will take 7-10 days from when they receive it!!!Best Buy can fix it, but only if you paid the extra for their warranty, not under the Toshiba one.So I'm in the very beginning stages of a brand new direct marketing business that relies on internet access....I ask for a supervisor..of course none there."Call and talk to customer service", they aren't open now, you'll have to call tomorrow.". So I have posted on Facebook never to buy Toshiba...I loved my first machine of theirs, but 8 months old, really??? and you can't replace or repair it immediately, really?? It's obvious it's some design issue, seeing there are others with the exact problem. So if you really need to use it, hook up an external monitor, or try using it only partially open and see what happens!! I'd love to know if your problem is solved if the top isn't completely open.Also read a few disturbing things on here about their "repair depots". Anybody know the real truth about those??

Satellite L500D won't start

Hello,
My Toshiba Satellite L500D won't start.
When I start my laptop the three lights on the left light green, the two on the left are not green or red. I hear the coolingfan, no beeps at the startup. When I start the laptop with a systemdisk it's the same, nothing happens.
I contact the supportdesk and they said that it could be the harddisk, this sounds a bit strange to me because I can't start it with a systemdisk.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction

Hello,
The notebook is my dauther's and I'm pretty sure she hasn't update the bios. She is 14 years old and she does what 14 year old girls do with their notebook. Gaming, hives, chatting etc.
What she told me is that she had some problems when starting the notebook. It didn't start correctly, she had to push the powerbutton several times, sometimes maybe like for half an hour or so, then suddenly the pc woke up and did start. SInce a few days nothing works anymore.
The screen stays black and I hear no beeps, just the coolingfan and sometimes a noice asif the hd was trying to start. The coolingfan also doesn't run properly, it makes a sound like an automobile that runs irregular

Satellite A100 - Won't start up Windows

Without changing anything, my Satellite A100 won't start up Windows.
A screen with with Windows foutherstel (failure recovery) gives two options; start windows normally and start up recovery. When I push the first option, there is a quick blue screen, what disapears too fast to read the tekst. Finally the screen failure recovery comes back. in the other option there is a screen Options for system recovery who's said; Can not start the installated program. Click on Ok to shut down the computer.
How do I fix this problem?

Hi hans_3,
Maybe something has muddled up the Windows registry or some important system files and so you cant start Windows anymore or start the system repair option.
I think in this case its necessary to reinstall Windows. Therefore you can take the Toshiba recovery disk that brings your computer back o factor settings where all drivers and tools are already installed but it wipes the whole HDD.
It takes only few minutes and needs some clicks.
Good luck! :)

Satellite A65 won't start and I get only blue screen!

When I start my satellite A65 a blue screen comes up saying "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer"
it says to check if I have adequate disk space or to either disable or update the driver if a driver was mentioned in the stop message... or to check bios updates...
I can type out everything it says if I need to, but that the jist
Does this sound familiar to anybody?
It might be because I didn't update enough when it told me to.
It won't start, not even on safe mode, and it won't let me restore, which I would be perfectly willing to do at this point.
help, please
Jamous

Hi
Usually the Blue screen of death happens due to the serious software problem or due to the hardware malfunction.
In your case it sounds more like something wrong with the hardware. Why, because you are not able to restore the notebook from the delivered Toshiba recovery CD!
What to do buddy? I think the notebook must be checked.
Try to contact an ASP in your country and ask for the further handling!
Good luck

Toshiba Satellite Laptop -- Won't power on or boot..

I can't get my Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5881 (model #: PSLC8U-00D010) to power up or boot. It is plugged in and the power light is on. I've tried re-seating the memory, hard drive and battery. I've also tried plugging in a monitor to see if it was the display. So far, no luck.
Any suggestions? Do these symptoms sound like the power supply, hard drive or mother board?
Thanks.

It still won't boot so I bought a different computer. The funny part is my A45-S150 is 8 years old and works very well and runs with a Linux Opsys.

Satellite L50 won't start up - asks for HDD password

Hi
hopefully someone can help me
I have a Toshiba Satellite L50 laptop and when i start it up it says
+no bootable device please restart system+
It is still under waranty as it was only bought 6 months ago.
I took it back where i bought it and they told me to contact Toshiba.
I am waiting on a call back.
I am hoping someone can help. It also asks for HDD password.
Where do I find that information?

Hi Kym
I guess the Satellite L50 cannot find the bootable device (HDD) because the HDD has been secured with an HDD password and without this password the HDD isnt accessible and the system will not boot up properly.
Did you set such HDD password in the past?
Im asking because such password isnt set on new notebooks. Such HDD password can be set only by notebook owner
From my knowledge if you dont know such HDD password, you will not be able to get access to the HDD in such case the HDD would be useless and the data would be lost
Therefore I would recommend you to check if someone has set the HDD password on your notebook in case you dont know the password, you will need to replace the HDD and to reinstall the system once again.

Satellite A110 - won't start at all!

My laptop won't start up. The battery will not charge, but the laptop won't start up even on mains power (with or without battery in place).
Any ideas?
Thanks

This sounds like a mainboard issue
Have you tried to remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor? Remove both and wait one hour then connect the battery and AC/DC adaptor again.
If it doesnt work you should contact an authorized service provider for help. The technicians can help you to check the notebook.

New Satellite P300 won't start up.

I hope you can give me some advice. This week I bought a new Toshiba P300-GU with Vista Home Premium. It worked fine for about 3 days but now it won't start up at all.
Symptoms:
* - A few LED-lights blink for a second before they turn off again.
* - No sound from either fan or harddrive.
I tried to remove battery and power cable and left the computer for a day before trying again. There is no difference except for a few more LED-lights blinking for a second the first time I try to start up the computer. Next time I try, only a few lights blink again.
After I discoved the start-up problem I noticed that the power supply is fairly noisy. I also noticed that the machine has a small bubly mark in the plastic in the upper left corner above the screen. (Looks like a production error or transportation fault) You hardly notice the small 1 cm inconsistency in the plastic, but it doesn't look like a normal scratch.
As I thought the power supply might be causing the problems because of the strange sounds, I brought the maschine to a PC technician today. He tested the power supply, and said that it worked properly, but he also said that it shouldn't sound like that. He did not open the notebook, in order not to cause trouble regarding the Toshiba warranty.
I bought the computer in Denmark as I wanted a Danish keybord. However I live in Portugal, where I will be using the computer. This is where the PC is now.
Do you recommend that I contact an ASP in Portugal to repair the PC or do you suggest that I return the PC to the dealer in Denmark?
Will the ASP be able to exchange the screen and the power supply which obviously both are not in the state they should be?
Thanks for any advice!

Hello
First of all I must say I never had problems after 3 days of my new Toshiba notebook but such things happens and no manufacture is perfect.
Furthermore I must agree with you. I would bring the notebook to an ASP because it seems that mainboard is faulty but Im not sure. This is only my personal opinion and so the notebook should be checked by a notebook technician.
As far as I know the notebook is covered by 1 year international warranty and so I would contact the ASP in your country. Ask them if they can repair your notebook and if not you must contact the other ASP where you bought the notebook.
I think this is the best solution because they can tell you what to do exactly.
Good luck and Im sure that your notebook will be repaired as fast as possible.

Toshiba Satellite A305-S6852 wont start up

When I turn on my Toshiba Satellite A305-S6852 it goes through the screen that says Toshiba Leading Innovation screen but that goes away the screen turns black, the mouse pops up but after a few minutes. Then when I try to turn the computer off it won't turn off, I have to take out the battery and unplug the computer to get it to turn off. Can anyone please tell me how to get my computer back to working normal?

Satellite A305-S6852
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 A660 - Won't start

My Satellite A660 rebooted a few times and then it shut off and now it won't start up at all, and doesn't register that it even has the power packed connected. It's not working at all, any help would be appreciated

Hi liam42,
What happens exactly when you try to start your notebook (press the power button)? Can you access the BIOS setup or what happens exactly?
Do you see any error messages on display?
Probably this could help you:
Remove the battery and AC/DC adapter. Then wait at least one hour then connect both again and try to start your notebook.
Does it work?

Satellite A660 won't start up

Hi guys,
First I hope this is in the right place as im completely new to this!
Ok the problem,
I own a Toshiba satellite A660-1DW and this evening it wont start up, well i say it wont start up but nothing appears on screen, let me expand:
Press power on/off button >> Laptop turns on >> Runs for around 30 seconds >> Nothing appears on screen - screen remains black i.e. the same state as it is when turned off >> Laptop turns itself off
Thats it, I don't know what to do! Is it a fault with the screen? Is it fixable? I have lots of files/documents I need, do I need a complete new laptop?
Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

> Is it a fault with the screen?
To discover this you can attach an external monitor.
If you will see Toshiba splash screen on external monitor, then this means that your internal display is faulty. But I think there is something wrong with motherboard or part of the motherboard.
> Is it fixable?
Everything is fixable but its a question of expense
If motherboard is affected, the mobo needs to be replaced and this is expensive
But maybe its not motherboard maybe some memory modules are faulty
Remove on modules and test the notebook using one module in each slot
But Im afraid the hardware needs to be checked by professional technician.
>I have lots of files/documents
You can remove the HDD and can attach this HDD using an USB->SATA controller to another computer.
In such case you can access the data stored on the notebookss HDD
