This may well be a fault with your RAM, CPU or system board. Check the RAM is inserted properly, if two modules are installed try removing them one at a time and see if it helps.

If you want the computer to boot from the CD, you need to tell the computer to boot from the CD. At start up the computer runs through each device one at a time and tries to boot from it and it will boot from the first device that has a boot log. Right now your computer is set to boot from the hard drive before the CD drive.

Always back up your computer before going into the systems bios menu.

After a backup, upon starting the computer, press F12 when the bios selection appears shortly before the operating systems starts. Once in your bios menu, go to the boot order and tell your computer to first boot from the CD then your hard drive; then your disk drive if you have one.

After you are done, you can go back into the bios menu and change it back to booting from the hard drive first.

Make sure the battery has a full charge, and that it's plugged into a wall socket, then try the power button. You will get the same symptoms as a bad power switch if your battery power is very low. Other than that, the battery could be bad, or going bad. If the problem is a faulty power switch, you will have to have it replaced.

It sounds like a driver issue. Check for any updates to drivers for your laptop from the toshiba website.

if you have a restore disk, you may wish to back up any important information and use it to reinstall your operating system to factory default. Since it charges when turned off properly, it does not sound like a hardware issue.

have you tried test ram? That is the first place to start for no post laptops.

haven't mentioned the os and service pack version
download recovery disc here

burn it a cd using nero or any other image burning software

Hit F8 a few times while your computer starts to boot, a boot selection screen should come up. Try selecting "Last Known Good Configuration" and see if you can boot up without running the repair install.

probably dvd drive

you can order a replacement keyboard from ebay and replace the whole thing. its a couple of screws and when pulling apart the laptop you must be careful of the clips. Also they probably sell them by the key on there.

just check the setting or format the laptop

could be a virus,try removing the ethernet cable from the back beforre yo start up,and then run antivirus or an anti malware program to check for anything that could be lurking on your hard disk.

its not the hard drive my frined, its the boot loader it has been deleted or it has been compressed the only way to fix this is to use the recovery cd you have, to boot from cd-rom you need to go into bios which is usualy F2 or F5 key, then under boot manager or somthing is the primary and secondary boot, change the primary to CD-ROM, then save it and restart then it should boot from cd-rom then you have do a start-up recovery.

hi,
try this one
take out the battery and take out the Ac adapter now press and hold the power button for 15 sec this will release any static charge residing in your laptop.

now try start your laptop with battery in.

Further Queries are welcome

Your laptop is probably overheating due to an obstructed airflow path or a failed fan. Get some canned air and thoroughly blow out any dust and debris that may be blocking airflow. Sometimes the heatsink cooling fins get matted over with fibers and a lint ball will form in the fan-cage obstructing the fan rotation. If this happens it is often necessary to remove it with tweezers which may require some dissassembly of the notebook.

Good luck!

Since you do not have the original restore CD more than likely you're missing the hardware drivers specific to the Satellite P205.
