My toshiba p305d-s8828 wont start up. the power button light comes on and the fan tries to start for a half second but with the power light on and charger indicator light on it still doesnt start.

Hello chrisiames80,

Welcome and thank you for using FixYa!

This is due to the laptop failing the "Post" process. This symptom typically leads to a point in time when the processor overheated, and is therefore dead. Or the RAM in the laptop is bad.
1. To test the RAM; start by pulling it out and then putting it back in: This will test for an "Un-Seated" stick of RAM.
2. If the laptop still doesn't boot, then you need to test the RAM further by trading it out with a known "working" stick of RAM or have a repair professional do this test for you.
3. If you put in a working stick, and the laptop still won't boot, then it is safe to say the procesor is toast.

If the laptop is only about 1-2 years old, it is worth replacing the processor. If it is older than that, I recommend buying a new laptop and an external enclosure for the drive in the current laptop. That will give you access to your files from the old laptop.

Have a great evening!

Dell 9300 inspiron has problem. Does not even load the window screen and its color red? How to fix?

Well, i have seen a few laptops with red display with lines etc. This issue is usually caused by bad RAM, which is required to be replaced. If there are more than one RAM modules, you may check one RAM at a time to identify the faulty one. This can be done by opening the RAM cover located at the bottom of the laptop.

Also, you can check the laptop by connecting you laptop with some external display (LCD), which would make it clear wheather is the laptop display or RAM.
So, my advice is that you get it properly checked by any professional.


Hope this helps! Don't forget to rate the solution!!

No display on laptop screen

It sounds to me like the motherboard needs to be replaced. It also could be a problem with the RAM as this could cause the same problems as a bad motherboard. I would suggest re-seating the RAM. If that still doesn't work, insert only 1 stick of RAM. If neither of those fix it, you will most likely need to either replace the motherboard yourself, or have your motherboard be replaced by a professional. I hope this helps you. Please remember to rate my answer.

How to upgrade a Dell Latitude CPX - Intel P3 500-650 laptop

I have a CPX H500GT. To get it to run XP Pro to run right, max out the ram. And get a larger harddrive. Xp uses a substantial amount of space.

Upgrade from 512MB to 1GB

The specs on the memory are correct, so you purchased the correct type of memory for this motherboard. If your getting no video when you power on with the 1gb stick, I would be willing to bet the 1gb stick is bad. Can you return it and try another stick?
