spikes C: hi, pls my laptop is having a problem. Its a toshiba satellite pro L300, running windows 7.

I was having a hard disk failure, and last night, it crashed.
Now it doesn't boot up again, when i power it on, it just stops at the toshiba logo, even F2,F8 and F12 doesn't work.
It just keeps displaying the toshiba logo. One thing i noticed is that the hard disk doesn't load because the HDD access light blinks a bit and stops.

But, i thought if there is no HDD, it would load via disk or notify you that there is no HDD.

I can completely disassemble the Laptop myself, i did so and cut off the CMOS battery but to no avail.

Pls i would really appreciate any help from you guys, thanks a lot

remove hard drive and see if it would boot
Should say no os found or flashing cursor
if you get that most likely is the hard drive

replace it and see what happened

ignis: It's 2 beeps. The first beep is continuous but stops as soon as i hit the enter botton. Then the second beep starts - this does not last long. Thereafter the system finally start up.

Plug the AC adapter into the computer.
Turn off the computer.
Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the f10 key to enter the BIOS Setup menu.
In the BIOS Setup Utility, use the Right Arrow or Left Arrow keys to navigate through the menu selection to locate the Diagnostics .
Use the Down Arrow or Up Arrow keys to select Memory Test .
Press Enter , and then Yes to perform memory test.
After test completes, press f10 key to Save and Exit , and then press Enter key to Exit Saving Changes .
If the test fails, one or more of the memory modules may not be seated properly..

Should either pass or fail the test let us know

horladmejy: Weldone bros....pls how much is the price for new dell battery And how can ℓ̊ identify the original tokunbo onetanks..ℓ̊ hope ‎you will help..ℓ̊ will check back

Fully charge the battery (not generator use Nepa light rather)
You could use generator thats entirely up to you, most nigeria
electonics breaks down quickly due to power surge and power
generator. When fully charge connect charger and battery and turn laptop
on keep pressing f2 for bios scrool down to power management and view
the battery health as either installed not installed or healthy 100%
Also look out for this ac adaptor is unknown type, it basically referring to
the charger and the battery. make sure your charger is dell one or a geuine generic type

This is UK Excellent Customer service repair warranty standard and not sure what other technician
might tell you in nigeria.[/b]

Philcool: The laptop HP630 (64 bit, 500gb Seagate sata HDD, 4gb ddr2 RAM, 2.13ghz dual core processor). Windows 7 installation CD is 64 bit (copy version). I have retried the installation on each HDD two times or more. The names of the different
sata HDD I have used are Western
digital, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Seagate.
Sometimes the error will show long numbers mixed with x. These HDDs, they all work in other laptops but my HP630 works with only the Seagate HDD that came with it. What do I do in the laptop so that it can be accepting these other ones too as a replacement to the one that came with before it finally dies since I don't want to loose my data incase it happens any moment. They all pass hard disk test. Thanks sir.

Insert one of the sata hard drive that pass the hd test

Insert you disk and restart the instalaltion

When it comes to a screen where it ask you to select partition to
install on. there would extended partition. erase, delete, driver, browse

we want the option thas says browse or driver then browse to where you save the
Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver and select it then click ok or something like that
and see what happened. I am sure the hard disk need a storage driver for it to be recognised
by windows 7 because this hard drive dont come with it so you need a sata ahci storage driver

visit the hp site to check the driver

Immanuelar: thank u dejisunday.u av bin very helpful to me,i tried wot u said nd it worked out,now d problem is,at d base right hand corner of d pc,it displays"Window 7 build 7600 is not genieue",pls wot dos dis mean,nd also whenevr i turn on d pc,one of d installed programs will av stop working nd d message will b displayed on d screen.thanks

"Window 7 build 7600 is not genieue

It means the copy of windows 7 install is pirated.

You can either restore it back to a date and
the message would leave. The trouble we techninicians
have with some people is they dont like the true
from a professional person living outside of their county.

What they do is listen to people that can install windows 7 for 2000 naira.
It is totally wrong and not professional. you either get a genuine copy
if you truely want to be a genuine user and be safe online from hackers

for the stop working message , do you have norton antivirus

click start, run and type in msconfig press enter to continue

click start up at the top and remove all ticks from the programme
you familar with for example skype, yahoo messenger, google chorme/deksotp etc
remove as much as you can apply and ok it. restart the comp...then test

Find a picture of my windows with a genuine sticker. this is the test i ran when reading your msg

Philcool: Okay, thank you very much for throwing more light on this BIOS configuration on the HDDs on different Win OS.
But, in this situation, the 500gb HDD that was previously inside and working and the other HDDs are all SATA HDDs. They passed BIOS HDD test but when formated and Win7 is being installed, it does not complete it but will end up with one unknown error even after two different OS installation CDs have been used because I was suspecting bad CD but nothing was wrong with either of the CDs. What could be tweaked or done for this HP630 to see other HDDs as the way it sees the one that came with it? Thanks again and hoping to read from all contributed solution, please.

Please gather your thought to answer the followings one at a time.

Is the laptop 32 or 64 bit (check computer specs)?

Is the windows 7 instal cd a 32 bit or 64 bit ? check this

Is the windows 7 original setup cd or a copy version ?

Have you retry the instalation

What the name of the differet hdd you're using . e.g. western digital or hitachi

The unknown error code should have a long numbers

Pop in the win 7 install cd and let it load
should give you option for command prompt

click it and make sure the hdd in question is in
and run sfc /scannow if no joy run chkdsk on it

Computers › Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by deji2009(m): 9:17am On Sep 15, 2012

all4naija: Just check to make sure the signal cable or sata is properly connected;that means you need to open the system to do that. That is the major cause of the error. The second cause is operating system yet you have a setup disk tried on it before so, the former should be the rightful cause. Stop shaking your CPU!

What make is the computer ?

There's a need to enter the bios
by f2 or Del key and check main or boot order
to see if hard drive is listed
no need to physically examine it
until you have checked the bios
first.

@Philcool

For HP laptop to install windows xp it got to be

for sata hard drive type i.e. windows vista or windows 7

you can also run hard drive d test in the bios

Hp and compaq have a recovery partitions that can
be used to recover laptop to factory default

Back your data first !

click start and where
the white start search box
is type recovery manager
and see if you have a recovery
partitions. norton is not an ideal
antivirus to have. is up to you
whether you want to scan using malwarebyte
or reset the laptop . in practice, we reset them

is the ext cd rom compatible with your machine ?

does it come with a software installation cd ?

is it a super drive ?

does your mac inbuilt cd works as in read cds and dvd ?

does the inbuilt cd drive on your mac eject when you put
an os x installation disk ?

If there is a disk in the disk drive that is not a bootable media it will then spit it out.

Olisa74: It sounds like you have a bad superdrive. They are very sensitive and easily breakdown. It is not worth replacing it since they are becoming obsolete anyway. If I really need a disc drive, I suggest getting a cheap external one.

make sure your fingers is not touching the eject button
also make sure you check all settings. what make is you

1..Boot d system into safe mode by pressing F8 repeatedly on startup screen
2.Click on start,type msconfig and press enter
3.Click on services then check d box 'hide microsoft....'
4..Take a snapshot of all the services running(press prtscrn on ur keyboard then paste in paint and save)
5.Attach the saved copy here so we can help u analyze which services to stop
6.Click on startup,uncheck or deselect everytin
7..Click on apply then ok
8..Restart the compu
Else
1 disinfect the system at startup(for me,I use a kaspersky rescue disk.for dos dat don't know,when u buy a kaspersky antivirus cd,the cd itself is the rescue disk..just use it to boot ur system.d only disadvantage is,it won't contain d recent updates)
Repair the OS(to b frank,its a tricky procedure u cld miss ur way and may accidentally wipe out d system)so I can suggest u give to a software engineer.
