ok... so i had a problem earlier with my toshiba satellite pro involving hibernation, but now it wont boot up when i turn it off, or put it to sleep either... the power light comes on, but nothing works. when paper clip-opened the cd drive to use a recovery disk, it didn't read it... and when it does start up, it just freezes... >.> i think that's all (vista, and it's actually a200-something)

OK 3 things needed to boot a PC...
Memory, Video and CPU...
Easiest thing to do first is try and swap out a memory stick. Hopefully you have a burnt out stick of memory.
Open the memory slot and hopefully there are 2 sticks try one then the other.
When you say nothing works I am assuming you can't even get into the bios.
If you are talking about not booting to windows that is a completely different story. But for now I'd try the memory thing.

- Ok please try to swap out the memory first ...
That is the easiest least expensive way to begin ..It really sounds like a memory problem to me..
Is that possible..Let me know ..hopefully you have 2 sticks in there now and only one went bad.
do you have any way of getting your memory tested?

Nov 09, 2009

- Now that memory is out of the way...you did say at times it will start then freeze up...
Keep trying to get it to start...right after the bios loads hit F8 and see if you can get it to boot into safe mode
Is this doable or no way?

- Check this guy out..1 unhappy customer and the rest are ecstatic

- Hey wait I am sorry I got tied up for a couple days after further study this is a common problem with the a 100...I had all the info ready to post for you...And i got busy and it

Nov 15, 2009

- Wait after further research on the A100 that is a common problem I had all the info and diagrams then rebooted and lost all. I will get them again give me a little while. It is either the power jack needs soldering which is very easy fix or overheating because of bad fans or dust, all the same symptoms as yours were described, let fins the article again, even gave diagrams of how to fix.
