I have a Toshiba 2016 C70 series and all of a sudden when I turn it on it wont take me to toshiba start up logo. . Been rebooting it 12 times so far and still no sign in page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Power on the computer and as soon as you see the Microsoft icon power off.
Power on again and as soon as you see the Microsoft icon power off.
Power on the third time and see if it opens the Windows advanced troubleshooting menu on the computer.
If it does not open the Windows advanced troubleshooting menu on the computer then find a flash drive that you can format ( > or = 8 GB).
Then create a bootable windows 10 iso:
Download Windows 10
Insert the flash drive into any USB port.
Power on the computer and click the applicable F key so that you can boot to the external USB HD.
List of PC brands with their corresponding hot-keys
If there is no F key then temporarily modify the bios boot order so that you can boot to the external USB HD.
It may take 5 - 10 minutes for the iso to load while viewing the Microsoft windows icon.
Select language, time, currency, and keyboard, or click next.
In the left lower corner click repair your computer (do not click install)
Click troubleshoot
Click Startup repair > if it fails continue to the next step and if it indicates that it created a srttrail.txt file report that into the thread
Click system restore > start with the oldest system restore point and keep repeating to the newest restore point. If system restore fails or if there were no restore point then advance to the next step
For the next steps find a camera or smart phone camera to take pictures and post images of the commands and the results into the thread.
The next steps are using command prompt. This should open a black box with title bar: Administrator: X:\Windows/system32\cmd.exe and prompt: X: Sources>
I tried what you suggested and the windows logo never came up. on this laptop when it starts up it shows Toshiba , funny thing my CD lights up I also have a fan that sits on laptop its on and I plug in a USB flash and it never got me anywhere. any other suggestion would be appreciated thanks
Open the CD tray and see if something is in there. If so, remove it.
