Hi All,
Thought I would start a new thread on problems with Toshiba A30-514 laptop, as after many attempts it booted and I re-installed XP. It worked fine for about three hours then BSOD, so it must be a hardware problem.
It now produces beeps and having Googled the pattern I think it is a failed motherboard. However, I'm not sure which BIOS it is and would welcome any help to confirm.
The pattern is... long, short-long, short-long, short-long, short then a click and shut-down, which repeats until the ac supply and battery are disconnected.
If anybody can help I can then make a decision as to whether to get it repaired by Toshiba, as there does not appear to be a supply of spare parts.
Thanks in anticipation,
