take it in for a proper diagnosis
It is possible that when you dropped it , you have jarred the hard drive and it is now not reading the disc hence the request for the boot /reboot request
To get the L300 to boot from a disc, ensure you have pressed F12 at
start up to change the boot device to DVD Rom and ensure nothing is
connected to USB or LAN. Hope that helps.
This is an open ended question as I am not aware of your problem, however, Disconnect your power supply and remove the battery. Refit the battery and plug in the AC adaptor, check the power light and battery light are illuminated. Keep disconnect any periferals, (USB devices) and ensure the DVD drawer is empty. Press the power button. The POST should now start up flashing a line of led's across the top of the keyboard first followed by the hard drive light. The BIOS F2 or F12 choice screen will now appear. If it doesn't the laptop hasn't completed POST and can go no further. Press F12 and select Hard Drive for the boot device, the laptop will then try and boot from the hard drive, just as the boot chioce menu dissapears press F8, this will opem a further menu allowing you to repair your system. This, if selected, will collect data stored on drive E and repair the main system putting the OS back as it was when you first purchased the machine. If that won't work or there is a corrupt file or serious error, you will require an OS system disk. Place the System disk in the DVD drive, press power until the system tries to boot and when you get to the boot selection menu, press F12 again but select CD/DVD as the boot drive. Follow my last instructions again and you will have a fresh/repaired system and a working laptop again. When all is OK go to www.computers.toshiba-europe.com and let toshiba download and install the latest drivers and BIOS. Hope that helps.
Hi, in BIOS; do the following: "restart the Computer, and just before the Computer start to load the OS.

I had the same problem on a toshiba satellite u400. Usb over current on port ... blabla.. Please press F1 to resume or F12 to install. F1 just ended up in a screen asking to press F2 or F12 which did nothing. F12 did nothing.
Rebooting the pc ended in a black screen with a flickering HD symbol.
To be able to boot again on the BIOS I had to remove the battery and disconnect the plug. Once It restarted booting on the error USB over current.
Si I took a USB mouse and tried to boot with the mouse plugged in on port , then another ... at the third port the PC booted normally with no error :)
Don't have any idea why it became faulty but it's now solved for me.
