Boom P10 304 AC adapter 4.7 has enough? confused

Hi, I am the owner of a Satellite SP10 304 and recently a problem with the AC adapter cable and needed to replace it... at the same time (as I did buying online), I decided to get a replacement fast using a FPS NB 90 19v but only 4. 7A instead of 6 has required and noticed yesterday that the portable lights up no problems, but the battery went funny and not billed at all to unload until the end and I could only run the laptop without battery, I know it's a problem old as I am confused about the whole debate of "should the pc powered by the AC adapter all online and not using the power of the battery"... so I left the computer laptop but incharge all night and this morning the battery was completely filled to the top and test it this way... let the laptop with the battery only to carry out of up to 80% and turn the machine on starting load as it should do... should so it will be ok? It is seems to behave ok now, sorry this larbi but I was tip in the rechanging of power due to the low Amper is true? is 4. 7A on the replacement device enough to charge the battery?

Hi Marco,.

If I understand correctly your laptop POWER supply works by drawing current from the power supply (if connected), or battery when AC power is missing. In addition, current surplus will come from the power adapter to recharge the battery when necessary.

Your problem will be a lack of power available when the laptop uses applications heavy drain and there is not enough current available from the new AC adapter to meet demand. I suspect that in these circumstances that the PSU will go to battery power, even if the adapter is connected and drain the battery.

When you run the lighter applications on your laptop, then there will be enough current to charge the battery normally.

I think it would be better to get a power adapter with the capacity recommended for your laptop if you are running heavy applications of drain.

  • Satellite P10-304 turns on but the screen is off.

    Hi there... Please someone help me. I m having this problem since last week with my P10-304... it was working fine... but now last week I turned it off and turned the morning we return on the use of battery that he kept on going stand-by mode... and when I turned it off again and plugged the AC adapter is on, but screen didn't seem to turn on...

But nothing comes on the screen, as I said, the screen is blank as is it turned off s.

    Please help me... !!!

    Hello

    Well, this is a strange question. It's not easy to say what can be the problem.
    But first you must remove the battery and the AC adapter for 1, 2 hours.
    After this procedure, use the power supply for the test to work.
    If the problem is still topical, I guess that it s a hardware malfunction.
    In this case, the best way is to contact the service partner.

    Best regards

    Looks like the motherboard plays up and needs to be replaced? Dose - that someone has encountered this problem before?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    > Sounds like the motherboard plays up and needs to be replaced?
    Yes, it seems so :(

    Maybe it s not the motherboard, but another part of the material. But to be honest, you should go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the laptop to determine what the problem is exactly.

  • Satellite P10-304 - update Windows 7 problem

    I have a Satellite P10 304 to 2003 which has Windows XP, but I need to update for obvious reasons. I bought a copy of Windows 7 (32 bit) and installed without any installation problem, however I can't update Windows.

    I reinstalled, deleted the hard drive and reinstalled again. Tried the stop and start the Windows Update utility.
    Downloaded the stand-alone Windows Update.

    Updated the BIOS to V2.0 and downloaded the Toshiba Service Station application (who says no update is necessary).
    All this without success.

    My hopes were raised when I saw that the Station Service for Windows 7 32 bit software was available for the P10 304 but I am now at a loss.

    Anyone know if this laptop can be upgraded to Windows 7 and how to get updates of work?

    Help is welcome.

    Peter

    I'm sure that installation of Windows 7 update problems are not specific to Toshiba problems even if you use the Toshiba laptop.

    From my point of few, you should check the Microsoft support pages to find the solution.
    For example this:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/w...#1TC=Windows-7

    Just a tip: I had some problems in the past to install updates because of the antirust software. He locked the installation of some essential updates and after you disable temporal, updates could be installed...
    Missing Service Packs might concern the single installation of patches.

  • Recovery disk does not work on Satellite Pro P10-304

    A few days ago my Satellite P10-304 is not start, so I used recovery CD and got the machine works like new.
    Yesterday it wouldn't boot.
    Some thing on an ethernet cable unplugged error message, so I tried recovery CD because there is no data to lose.
    It won't work, to come up with an error message "GDISK (E) no such fixed disk - 1" then "error number 11030, invalid destination drive.

    Can anyone help me to get it booted/recovered please?
    I'm not fussed on something special for this old laptop, just a second computer for the kids to do their homework on.

    Hmm. sounds like a HARD drive failure
    Have you checked if the HARD drive has been recognized in the BIOS?

    > Something on an Ethernet cable unplugged error message.
    I guess you get an error PXE - E61 starting at startup.
    This message appears if the laptop tries to boot from LAN.

    This could happen if there are no other sources of boot as HARD drive, etc.

  • Satellite P10-304-DVD-ROM/CD-RW questions!

    Hello world

    I own one of the original computers Satellite P10-304, which has a DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive. For these last months, we have one or two problems with that. It was a little skittish in which CD it reads, but in the last days he almost completely stopped read correctly (audio/data) CD / DVDs. He doesn't seem to know they are there. However, the Player opens and runs well, as if it were playing the CD, but nothing happens on the PC.

    Curiously, I then looked on the list of the system, and the DVD-ROM/CD-RW driver had an excalamation mark. Even more curiously, the pilot was called TOSIICA! DWD something or other, when I'm sure it should have been DVD TOSHIBA etc.etc. Following the instructions, I uninstalled and then tried to reinstall, but it does not appear now when I try to add hardware.

    Confusing.

    I would be very grateful if anyone has any suggestions?

    See you soon,.

    Ian.

    Hello

    It looks like a car damage registry entry.
    But that is only my suggestion. The other possibility is broken (lens calibration problem) by car.
    You say that you have already removed the drive from the Device Manager, but the peut t OS recognizes the drive again. Well, in this case one of the possibilities is to use the System Restore tool or retrieve the device with the recovery CD.
    But if the drive is broken recovery procedure doesn t help. In this case, only the replacement of the drive can solve this problem.

  • Satellite P10-304 - memory upgrade

    Hello

    Satellite P10-304 supports the * 200-pin PC2700 (333 Mhz) DDR SODIMM * modules.

  • USB 160GB HDD - Satellite P10-304 doesn't see 127.9 GB

    Can someone help please, I bought a new 160 GB Seagate Momentus HDD.

    I put in a USB enclosure and connected, but when I go to Paragon Disk Copy he can see a disc unformatted 127.9 GB.

    If I right click on 'My Computer' and use 'Manage', it says I have a unknown 128 GB drive connected.

    I updated my BIOS to the latest available from Toshiba (2, 00 - WIN) dated 27/04/06 (on the Toshiba site "last updated on 27/04/06"). However, in the information system, he says: "BIOS Version/Date TOSHIBA V2.00, 28/12/2004", correct version but date looks old? on the site Web of Toshiba the last BIOS (V1.60) is listed as: last modification 15/12/05?

    Does anyone know if the Bios allows more than 128 GB of disks?

    If the answer is no, what are my options? If I go ahead and copy the disk it will work as usual, but as a 128 MB drive? Later if a new Bios is published, allowing disks of large capacity will be the full space available or should I take a disc image, reformat the hard disk and then copy the image (only have a record of this great would mean that I have to use another PC to achieve this).

    Its a real pain, ideas or thoughts?

    Many thanks Tony

    Laptop: P10-304 running XP Home.

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure if it has something to do with the BIOS.
    I think that it s simply a matter of calculation.
    HDD dealers calculate with 1000 and they must calculate with 1024. But the difference is still to oversized

    Please also check the size of the HARD drive in the other sense. After the fixing of the external HARD drive, you could right click on the HARD drive and check the properties.

    BIOS:
    Y, please read the more info section. You'll find info that the 1.60 BIOS update is only for the satellite P10 series models that contain "PSP13E" or "PSP16E" in the model number and version 2.0 of the BIOS update is only for the satellite P10 series models that contain "PSP10E" in the model number.

    Same problem?
    If Yes, then please try something simpler, like a keyboard or a mouse USB. Always the same problem? If Yes, then it's a hardware problem, but to be sure, pick up the PC. !!! Note Please! : all data will be lost!

  • Satellite P10-304: the problem writing and erasing CD - RW discs

    Some need help pls. I own a Toshiba satellite P10-304 with a combo player SD-R2412 installed. When I try to burn a new CD - RW, it does ok, but wouldn't allow no other written on the same CD in another session. The written CD - RW is then recognized as a CD-ROM. In addition, it is not possible to erase the cd - rw usinig this player. When I take the cd written for my laptop office of deletion, as it's done with success and my toshiba can then burn again. Any ideas on what to do?

    Additional information: laptop computer came bundled with "drag n dro cd" but I had to install Roxio and even tried the cd writing software provided with windows XP are done everything to nothing. I checked the 'advanced system info-error log' and the report there is 'the device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block'; I don't know what that means.

    Cheers.

    Nthunderbolt

    Hello

    In my opinion, it's probably caused by software. In my opinion, you should remove all burning software and verify all burning functions with windows option. After deleting some software, it can happen that, in the registry editor it is a lot of waste that will not be removed completely.

    In any case, delete all the burning software, and you can also try to remove the device from Device Manager DVD. Restart the laptop and DVD should be detected and installed correctly. Try using the option of engraving of Windows and if there is still problem writing once again please.

  • What are the cards Wi - Fi are compatible with the Satellite P10-304?

    It installs the material as seen in the Device Manager, but can not find all the networks (think there is a conflict with the motherboard)

    Hello!

    Theoretically, most of the WiFi cards should work, but the best way would be if you take a WiFi card that was delivered with a computer laptop Satellite P10.

  • Drive DVD/CD-RW P10 - 304 satellite to slow

    Hello
    My P10-304 has a dvd/CD-RW drive 24 x speed. Burn a full cd takes 10-12 minutes. Which is too much. I use Nero Burning Rom, but I think, this has nothing to do with it.
    PS. I use highets burning rate, have a lot of free space on the hard drive, use good cdr.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite P20 and there, it seems to me the same drive as your P10. I can't really say that the disc Burns too slowly. I put t know what kind of data you burn but I think 10 minutes is a normal time for everything on 700 MB CD-R/RW burning.

  • Satellite P10-304: replacing a WLan card - can I the same WiFi chip?

    Hi all

    got a satellite P10-304 of a companion here.
    He said the free thread never worked on it and hes had it years and someone else has already looked at and changed the TNA wireless card.

    Basically, she acts only as the wireless switch does not work and it remains permanently off the coast, although the drivers install correctly and map also shows ok. Simply disconnected.

    Now, I thought, okay, I'll take a look because I'm pretty good on the old hardware. Has taken apart and this you know, switch has been bent and not up. I handed the place, checked the switch and stop positions with a multimeter to check the switch worked and he was doing his job perfectly.

    Now it still doesn't.
    I guess it is now due to the fact that as I said, the map has been changed since its origin to a processor intel pro jobby.

    My question is, I'm right, do I just need to get the same card that was originally in it. I assumed that when the switch is set correct return, that I solved it.

    Hello

    The WiFi card must be activated bu switching the switch TO the position (the LED must illuminate) and in addition, you should choose the WLan antenna using the FN + F8 key combination.

    Please check this!

    Notes; go to Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab Wlan card
    There you can check if the WiFi is enabled as well.

  • Satellite P10 304 BIOS does not detect HARD and CDROM drive

    My HDD p10-304 has recently failed.
    I bought a new 60 GB western digital 2.5 drive "and installed today.

    At startup, the BIOS does not detect the drive, but also, it does not detect the CD-ROM drive.
    This makes me think that maybe it's not the player after all, maybe the onboard IDE / motherboard.

    I'm kinda stuck, so it's a new drive should work fine, and I have no way to test the motherboard.

    The only difference is that the insulation on the original drive sleeve should be reduced by half.
    The bit important (low, where the circuits would otherwise affect metal) is always there, it is the
    Few albums I had to remove but that should be no problem.

    Someone at - it suggestions?

    Thank you, Stu.

    Hello

    What happens if the HARD drive is not connected to the motherboard? The BIOS recognize the CD/DVD drive correctly?

    You bought the HARD drive compatible? To my knowledge the Mobile supports a HARD drive with interface IDE (ATA-5) increased.

    But as you said possibly the motherboard failures and he would be advised to contact the technician during a particular test

    I have a Satellite P10-304 and the USB ports not recognize anything that are attached to them. Device Manager tells me that they are enbaled and works correctly. What can be wrong with them or what can I do?

    Hello

    One of my friends has the same unit on the work and everything works perfectly. It uses the USB hub too and have many external devices connected to the unit.

    By the way: something like who can occur if the external device is not removed correctly use safely remove hardware option. If you try to connect any other device after that in most cases it is not recognized at all. In this case, you can restart the device or remove ports from the Device Manager and use the hardware detection to find them again.
