Thanks for that.

Ok the onlything that springs to mind is:

1. The bios needs to be reset asit has lost settings. This could happen IF you have installedsomething OR if it has become corrupt. Just access your Biosand reload the standard default settings.

2. Your hard drivehas a fault. The best thing you can do is to boot up from youremergency floppy (if you made one) or from your original windows CD. Once done, simply run scandisk/chkdisk/defrag and let it do what itneeds.

Sorry I could not help you more, but that is the onlything I can think of that would be stopping you booting further. Personally it sounds like the bios has lost settings and may betrying to boot from another drive ... but of cause it may be thatyour hard drive has become "sticky" or has errors that arecausing the problems.

Good luck with it.

Yes, there is. Match the type of drive (Serial ATA or Parallel ATA) you get with what you have. Make sure your Satellite sees the drive in the BIOS. For drives larger than 120 GB, recommend operating systems Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or higher) or Vista. Older OS's have a 137 GB limitation (they only see the first 137 GB of the hard drive despite its size).

SOURCE: I have a Toshiba Satellite M45-S359, Power Supply Problem.

Hi there.
It is a possibility that the motherboard has blown, as a PC technician i would also check other possibilities first before condemning it.
The components to check are the power adapters, both on the power supply and the adapter socket on the laptop, check that the pin is not loose or gone completely, if its very loose or missing then you have your answer and it can be repaired.
Also have the PB (power board) checked, it could also be that.
You can check the pin yourself but a technician will have to check the PB.

Good luck and thanks for using Fixya!!!
