My toshiba portege 4010: When I boot it up, it states that there is a media test failure and the error code is pxe-e61.

Matt makes a good point, resetting the BIOS is a good idea but you may need to do a bit more in case that doesn't work.
1. Turn on the laptop2. Access the BIOS (Press F2 or DEL key when you see the Toshiba logo)3. Scroll over to Boot options4. Make sure Hard drive boot is at the top5. Move LAN or PXE boot to the end
Let me know if this worked. Thanks.

If your computer is working fine, then disable PXE boot in BIOS or remove from 1st boot option. This is a LAN (network) boot option. It can't find a DHCP server, that's why the media test failure is displayed. It's usually used to load an OS image from network.


For the most part not a real problem. More of a warning. Some corporate models use PXE to mass image.
If there is a problem (won't boot) then it lost communications to hard drive, and you need to check BIOS for hard drive.
