Testimonial: "thank you very much is what I thought might be problem"
Your hard drive is no longer able to spin up freely .The heads have crashed.Replace the hard drive.
The reason why the laptop does not boot up because the hard drive is most likelt faulty especially when it makes a clicking noise.
First thing to try is to re-seat the hard drive and boot up the Toshiba, and go into the BIOS configuration and see if the BIOS detects the hard drive, if the BIOS does not detect the hard drive and when you boot up the laptop again and it still makes a clicking sound then the hard drive is definitely faulty and the data on your hard drive is lost.
If you are desperate to recover the data on your faulty hard drive, there companies that can recover data from faulty hard drives BUT it will cost you an arm and a leg for their services.
To get the laptop working again, you need to replace the hard drive install Windows and the device drivers for the hardware devices that are part of your laptop and your programs.
A series boot problems
Aseries laptops are very good normally but don't boot up if there
is a device in the USB slot or a CD/DVD in the drive.
If it still
refuses to POST, remove the AC Adapter, remove the battery and remove
the hard drive.
Power the unit up without the hard drive and it
should complete POST and complain that there is no hard drive. If
that doesn't work remove AC adapter, ensure battery is disconnected
and remove hard drive and RAM. Try again. If it still doesn't work,
you have a mother board fault and it needs a service centre.
www.Toshiba.com will help you out.
If it does work at one of the
options, when you have closed the laptop down, replace the RAM first
and test, then the Hard Drive.
Hope this fixes your problem.
