I am helping a friend fix his Toshiba Satellite A-105 and have found that a “Resource conflict PCI in slot 03 Bus :02, Device :07, Function:00” is causing the computer from starting (I believe it is the network adapter). Other than halting at the error, the conflict seems to keep the laptop’s screen from turning on (although the external monitor works just fine).
The only options I have are to press F1 to restore defaults or press F2 and go into the BIOS setup.
I have disabled the USB, the mouse and the network (all which seem to load just before the error), but only the syntax of the error changes, always with the problem in slot 03.
Has anyone seen this problem before and is it something that can be fixed via input as opposed to parts replacement?
Are there any other key shortcuts to bypass the BIOS startup like there is on my Dell (you know, a held Alt+F12 or something like that which will let me run diagnostics on the machine?)
Thanks for your time!
