Hello,
The title sums up the issue, can not get this unit to boot past the Toshiba splash screen, does not display option to enter BIOS. Pulled HDD, Pulled RAM, cleaned RAM slots, switched RAM, tried power on with just AC JUST Battery, Tried to boot from Win Boot Disk, same result. Any ideas or suggestions most welcome.

I don't think Toshiba makes Desktops - Haven't seen one in my 20+ years. Thanks for the input.

Checked it all is clear. Had an interesting event - was replacing HDD on another Toshiba I was working on and had the same thing happen. Pulled the HDD and replaced it all was good - gonna try that on my original machine- Thanks for your thoughts.
 


Wish I'd thought of that. Yes, failing HDD (or optical drive) could hang it. good luck.
