Toshiba Laptop Will Not Turn On


My toshiba laptop will not turn on? It stopped working on friday morning, i fixed it using these tips:

1. Remove the battery from the laptop (unplug it from the ac prior to removing it)

2. Plug the ac back in (leaving the battery out)

3. Gently move the connector from the ac adapter that is in the laptop gently from side to side, and then in circles. Very gently and watch your lights on your laptop; see if they blink or show any sign of life. 1. Remove the battery from the laptop (unplug it from the ac prior to removing it)

Toshiba Satellite P505d Will Randomly Just Turn Off

I bought a refurbished toshiba satellite p505d three days ago and it will randomly just turn off? It doesn't feel hot so i don't think its from overheating, and this morning when i tried to turn it on it wouldn't power up, my dad fixed that part but he doesn't know why it randomly turns off, he said it wouldn't power up tho because he thinks i froze the charging circuit.

Toshiba Satellite Shut Off And Wont Turn On

Toshiba satellite shut off and won't turn on. New adapter or new battery? I've had my laptop going on about 2 years now and i think it's finally done for, but i'm not exactly sure yet. Like most toshibas i had the overheating issue when it would just randomly shut off out of nowhere. No problem i brought a laptop cooler and it fixed the issue or so i thought. Last night while i was online my computer just shut completely off out of nowhere (no lights on at all on my computer). I press the power button, it turns on for a few seconds then shuts right off. Nothing comes on the screen when i try to turn it on btw. I don't know what the issue is anymore. What the heck is wrong with my laptop? It's still off and i can't get it to turn on.

Hp Laptop Wont Turn On

When the power button is pressed the computer begins to go through the startup, but fails to power up. Even when pressing f11, f8, or the space bar the computer cannot be forced to display an error or anything for that matter. The computer just cycles through trying to power on to powering off repeatably until it goes to sleep. Any ideas?

Dell Laptop Wont Turn On

I have an old dell inspiron 7000 that just stopped turning on a while back. When i plug the adapter into the wall (not connected to the computer) the green light comes on and everything seems fine. However, as soon as i plug it into the computer the green light goes out and begins to blink every few seconds. Of course the computer wont charge or turn on or anything. I called dell and they just said it was a motherboard problem which seems to be too programed of an answer. I was kinda hoping that its just the adapter and i can just go get another one. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks for any help on this one.

Laptop Monitor Wont Turn On

I've got a major problem with my laptop (less then a year old). It was running fine up till a month ago. As i launched a game, the screen turned off. I waited for a few minutes but it didn't come back on. I restarted it, and launched the game again, but the screen turned off before the loading was complete. I concluded that it was the game, so i uninstalled it. Rebooted, and all was fine for about 20 minutes, then the monitor turned off again. I suspected that there was a virus, so i formatted my hdd, installed just the basic programs and rebooted, but this time, the monitor didn't turn on at all. From the sounds i can hear, i seems that the computer itself keeps running, it's just the monitor that is 'stuffed'. I've tried hooking it up to my tv and desktop monitor, both remained blank. The laptop in question is a lg lw40 express. I've spent over an hour searching the forums but no one seems to have quite the same problem. Any help is appericiated.

Dell Laptop Backlight Turn Off When Unplugged

Why does my dell laptop backlight turn off when unplugged? Works fine on windows boot unplugged? Dell inspiron 6400, back-light turns off on battery, not just dims, turns off! I installed a new screen and inverter, and a new battery. I'm not sure how it was before the new screen because the old screen was damaged and my wife just hooked up an external monitor to use it. Tried windows 7 first, but reverted to xp with the same problem.computer boots on battery fine, and backlight is on through the boot process until the windows desktop or logon shows, then it turns off. Plug it in, and it's back on! No other problems. I've checked all the power saving features, even in the bios. Can't seem to nail this one down, not even with a bunch of google searches!

I recently dropped my laptop when it was on and it landed face down. I turned it off and back on and it turns on fine, but it wont load my desktop. My background will load and the curser, but it wont load my icons or start menu. I try going into task manager (ctrl+alt+delete) but that wont work either. If it sits for a couple minutes my screensaver works too. Is my hard drive broken, or the motherboard? Or is there something i can do? The laptop is a toshiba portege m100.

Dell, Toshiba, Or Hp Laptop?

I'm in the market for a laptop (my first) to last me at least 5 years with no problems or need for repair. I'm interested in purchasing either a dell, toshiba, or an hp (originally i wanted a macbook, but i've heard that that's not the best choice for a biology major-the compatible software is not as good?), But i don't know which one is best. I'm willing to pay up to $1200 as long as it has the following specifications:

-Built-in webcam
-Long-lasting battery (at least 5 hours)
-Best processor (fast with good performance)
-4gb memory
-At least 16" screen
-It must be quiet
-Must last me at least 5 years
-Dvd/cd drive (no blu-ray necessary)

Also, i'm not a big gamer (i like sims and nancy drew games, but other than that i really am not big into computer games). Please let me know if this request is even possible or if i need to lower my expectations! But please help me figure out which laptop to purchase!

Toshiba Laptop Keys Not Working

A few of my keys have stopped working on the keyboard of my toshiba laptop after a dreaded water spill. When i spilled the water the laptop was off, and i immediately turned the laptop over and left it to dry. When i turned it back on, initially the a key didn't work and probably a lot of others but the a was the only key i noticed as my password has an a in it. A few days later when i turned it on the a key must have dried out more and it had started to work, allowing me to log on. However, it has been 5 days since i spilled the (small amount of) water on the keyboard and these keys do not work [q, x, win, fn, ctrl]

The x key works if i hold the key down for a long while, but the others do not seem to do this. Obviously the kb is not trashed as it still works for most keys and the a key started working again. Does anyone have any advice on how i can take apart and clean or make sure it is dry? Or what has caused the keys to not work after they are dry, i have taken a few caps off and the toshiba laptop looks pretty water proof (lots of rubber caps, and nothing looking rustable/corrosive-able) i could post pictures if needed or has anyone had experience with tosh keyboards who could help me. Replacing is a last resort as i priced up a new keyboard online at £50~. That doesn't seem worth it .

Toshiba Laptop M100 Problem

Toshiba laptop m100. I've opened a dos box while surfing the net etc. The dos box will show blank letters (in other words, if i typed >mememe at the dos prompt, spaces would quickly fill up over loading the buffer. Tried moving the ram from one slot to the other. Before, it wasn't spaces, it was l's and 3's (maybe more)

So, you see, moving the ram over "helped" but did not resolve the problem. Ps: i have checked for all manners of spyware etc. And the behavior continues. Yes, i do not mind wiping the laptop clean. But is it a software issue? It looks like a hardware issue. Pss: to change the ram from one slot to the other, i had to remove the keyboard and then replace it. I could not find any water or coca cola damage to the keyboard. Anything else worth trying?

Toshiba Laptop Not Go Past Welcome Screen

I was restarting my computer after an update for my itunes and i think that one of my family members accidentally turned it off (which might have caused the problem). Also, in safe mode, it says that windows installer is supposedly not properly installed. And when it does go past the welcome screen after i do a system restore, it is enormously slow.

Toshiba Laptop Battery Not Charging

Toshiba laptop battery not charging, but says its is and battery light is on? I have a toshiba satellite laptop a100 series. When plugged in with adaptor, laptop works fine. The battery light is on at the front (which i think means its charging it)

In the icons in the corner, when i hover over the battery indicator it says 1% available (plugged in, charging) but it never gets over 1%, and when i pull the charger out it instantly fails, so basically it's not charging at all, but its telling me it should be. Iv tried reinstalling the driver for the charger/battery, no change.got a bios thing off toshiba website, no change. Any suggestions on what's wrong and how to fix it?

Do Toshiba A500 Laptop Have Webcam ?

Do all toshiba a500 laptops have a webcam? I bought a toshiba a500 laptop yesterday at office works, and the one on display did have a webcam, but when i opened the box when i got him i was surprised to see there was no webcam, and it was funny cause the protective plastic that you take off when new was shaped to be covering a webcam, and yeah i don't know whether i got ripped off, or that this type of a500 doesn't have a webcam.

Sound Just Stopped Working On A Toshiba Laptop

I have a toshiba laptop (i don't know what model, just recently, the sound just stopped working. Just like that, one second i'm listening to a song and the next, i'm not. Nothing is muted (the speakers are on, the dial switch on the side is on high, and the volume is turned up in the taskbar), but i can't hear anything at all (no music, no system sounds, etc). For awhile, i could hear a ding when i adjusted the volume in the taskbar and sometimes i could hear the notes that played when i hit one of the toggle keys. But i don't hear anything now. Does anyone know what could be wrong and how to fix it? I heard i could just restore my computer (with the recovery cd), but there has to be some easier way (plus i don't want to lose all of my files and settings).
