A30 - 203 hibernating then don't "wake up!"

Have owned my A30-203 for 18 months without problem - last night I close the lid and left in hibernation as I often do. Came back about two hours later - lifted the lid - nothing. Usually, he wakes up and expects that a mouse click continue. Don't respond to ctrl-alt-del or all the essential features. Start button / stop did nothing no more. Had to disconnect the battery and the sector. Restored power and power key - machine referred to the point after hibernation! Machine also was locked - ignoring all the keystrokes at the keyboard and mouse clicks. Tried to delete the file "hiberfil.dat" of the file system in case it was corrupted - did not work. Problem remains. Have turned off the Hibernate function now. Machine has been locked up since. Have also noticed that the cooling fans seem to stay longer (and stronger) than before. Laptop is still covered by the warranty of Dixons Coverplan - but don't know if the issues I've already mentioned. Help!

Hi adixon

I put t know how many times you use the hibernation mode, but my experience is that if you use the hibernation mode constantly, it can happen that the laptop is a little confused. I use the hibernation mode in my office after work, but from time to time, it is advisable to do a reboot or turn off the laptop.

I'm sure that there are no any kind of hardware malfunction. I don't force you to do that, but I also know this reinstallation of the operating system with recovery CD may solve your problem. Before take you to the service partner, try reinstalling the laptop only.

    I discovered that the WiFi network is optional on the A30-203. If you can update the laptop with a minPCI wireless network card.
    After further investigation, I discovered that the Wireless LAN Card Kit PA3212U-1MPC may be compatible with your laptop.

    This can be ordered from the service provider authorized in your country!

    Hi Dan

    Sorry, but I don't know if you will be able to do it alone. As far as I know that the technicians use special Maintenance manuals where is described exactly how to do this and in what order the parts to be disassembled or reassembled.

    Just after these instructions allow you to do it alone. The problem is that these instructions are not public, and if you want to do only please be careful. A small mistake can cause damage.

  • Satellite A30 - 203 - didn't turn, just flashing lights

    Is this what can I do with it?

    Hey,.

    In my opinion, there is nothing that you can do it sounds like a bad material work because Windows installation doesn t affect the startup procedure until Windows starts so you have a hardware problem.

    What you can try is the following:

    Try this:
    Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter from the laptop and wait a little bit more about 1 hour.
    Then reconnect the two parts and check if the laptop could start.

    If that does not help then I guess that a hardware problem serious cause this and you need someone who could check all parts laptop such as RAM, CPU or the motherboard.

    I think that the pine flooring is not a good idea, because if the wireless adapter is compatible and supported it should therefore works without any problem.

  • P1606dn don't wake-up car for new print job

    I have my printer is on my home network.  I use Mac computers.  I can print to the printer on the network of my three laptops more wireless, however, if the printer goes into sleep mode and I have send a new print job the printer don't wake auto.  To print, I have to manually turn on the printer, then it prints.  What is the solution to wake up off car for a new print job.  My old Brother printer would do that and it's maddening to have to go up the steps the Office to turn on the printer whenever I want to print.

    Hello

    The auto power off feature completely disable the device until a print job come back on, however, this requires a direct USB connection.

    For the network connection, you must disable the auto power off feature, the printer will always enter a power saving mode, but should be up and running once a being sent to throguh the network print job.

  • Satellite A30 - 203 - recovery disk does not work

    Hi all

    I have an old Satellite A30-203 and have a problem. I tried to format my laptop but the product recovery cd does not seem to work in deletion the data on my disk, its becomes blocked during loading files of ntfs? Now I am not able to retrieve a windows session would I need a new product recovery cd and would be able to get it?

    Thank you

    Hi dimation,

    It is difficult to say what is the reason of this but made is either it s a laptop problem itself or the recovery disc (e.g. scratches) causes this problem.

    In my opinion the best way to check this using a Microsoft Windows disk. If the installation completed successfully, you need a new recovery disk. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country! :)

  • External good DVD burner need for Satellite A30-203

    Can someone suggest a good external dvd burner for my A30-203
    I think I need to copy the videos of the laptop I think that their storage on the laptop uses a lot of memory.

    Can someone recommend / help please.

    Hello Ken

    It will be interesting to know what is your priority. Do you want ultra-thin DVD burner and take it with you or you want to copy all that at home.

    I ask this question because I used the old Satellite 1900 with external DVD writer. My old Satellite has USB 1.0 only and I bought the optical disc player placed in the external case and hooked up with my Satellite via the firewire port. I was very satisfied and data transfer was excellent. I must also say that desktop DVD burners can run with faster burning speed.

    Your laptop has USB 2.0 ports, and you can use the USB connectivity for external device. If you want to use at home I recommend you to use something like this. I had the same manufacturer. It works perfectly.
