• Satellite Pro L20: battery not charge when the power adapter is connected

  Hello

  all advice appreciated.

  I had a Satellite Pro L20 for about 18 months. Recently, battery does not charge when the power adapter is connected. The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile. However the ACPI often said that AC is "offline."

  There are two recent occurrences that coincide with this problem, I try to eliminate:

  1. my friends rat chewed by the feeder for pets! Power is Mobile OK insofar as he fled sector - the rat seems to have simply chewed by the outer cover (I see some threads, but I think that is just a shield, although I'm not an electrician).

  2. I put the laptop in hibernation for the first time. That seemed to mess up the system a bit, which was what initially drew my attention to the problem. This question is a bit complicated because I'm under Linux (Xubuntu).

  I updated the drivers etc from windows when I bought the laptop. Never had any problems until now and have been running linux for centuries. Also, I have mainly the laptop the power supply turned off, but do not remove the battery (is that really a problem these days?)

  I obviously need to replace the adapter, but is - it is likely (and how I can check) that the battery was borked until?

  see you soon

  First, please check if the other are lit.
  If the AC led and power led are on the adapter sector is ok and it provides the power to the laptop.

  > The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile
  If the battery LED is yellow, this means that the battery is not fully charged and if the Green led changes then recharging is caught and the battery has been recharged.

  So I really don t see any problems with the charge process.

  Maybe the battery is old and so you cannot use it for an extended in such a case only the replacement of the battery could help.

• Satellite U500: Volume + button glue IT when it is connected to the power adapter

  I have a problem with the touch buttons on my U500. I have already returned the first laptop that I bought for the Exchange.

  The question is this:
  When the power cord is connected (without worrying if connected to the wall) the "Volume +" button will stick THERE.
  The volume will continue to rise, it cannot be muted or turned down as the + keeps repeating.
  Without the power cable inserted the works of buttons as expected (normally).

  I made the new installation of recovery discs - do not set (under Vista)
  Then another new installation Win7 upgrade and this new PC is having the same problem.
  At first, I thought a hardware fault (the new PC worked fine for awhile).
  But now the second PC has the same symptoms I suspect a software/driver problem.

  I've seen suggestions for similar questions to:
  Re-install "Toshiba common Modules" but I can't find it on the support site for U500 in Australia.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to you all.

• My Satellite goes into battery mode despite being connected to the power adapter

  Y at - there anyone out there who can help me, please!

  I bought a Satellite a couple of years ago which worked well for a while - however, it has started to overheat a lot and kept stop without reason. After many searches on the net, I discovered that the fans were very likely blocked with dust? After you clean the laptop worked like a dream and as a Bunny happy I was!

  However, now a new problem has been its ugly reappearance - for some weird reason the laptop suddenly, without warning, past in dominant mode of battery despite being connected to the power adapter? He refuses to "acknowledge" that the adapter is plugged drains the battery quickly and then stops?

  I tried once more looking for an answer and it seems that I am not alone in suffering from this problem? I read that it is perhaps a bad connection between the adapter and the motherboard, but it would be expensive to fix? Others have said to try a new adapter, but I tried from another laptop and it still happens? I hesitate to implement local repair because sometimes, this problem may occur after half an hour and other times, that won't happen for hours and hours and it is difficult to explain the problem?

  There seems to be no rhyme or reason, but to crazy me on a regular basis!

  HI Deb,

  It is a common problem and can have several causes. The most common are a common defective soldering on the motherboard (where the socket is attached) and it can also be caused by a bad connection between the AC plug (at the end of the cable) and the socket on the laptop.

  Unfortunately, the standard response from most repairers is just to replace the motherboard, probably because it's faster for them and produced more revenue that comes to fix the connection.

  I solved this problem on my SA30 by pinching the cable ca to the back of my laptop in order to prevent any movement or tension on the connector. Unfortunately this will not help if the socket is already damaged, but it can reduce the incidence of the problem to occur.

  Kind regards

• Satellite M40x-189 heats up when it is connected to the power adapter

  Hey,.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40x-189, which is about 18 months old. Recently, I had too replace the battery, but now it seems that my adapter had fried itself. He refuses now too charge my cell phone for more than a few minutes and the part of the adapter that goes into the laptop becomes ridiculously hot even after a few minutes.

  I can't find where too much to buy a new adapter, I get results, but adapters look totally different, can anyone tell me if Toshiba has changed the cards and where too find a power adapter.

  This may help - adapter PA1650 - T 02:100 - 240V AC 50-60 Hz 65W / 3 pins with 19V DC output.

  Also, I find that on the occasions, my laptop just cut. In the middle of everything what I do, and the laptop itself would become so hot, it can't be touched for a few minutes, interestingly, this only happens when the laptop is charging. This problem is not related too my adapter problem, because its been happening for a good month now.

  Thank you, in advance.

  Hello

  I saw your first thread on the power adapter and that other users already suggested the power adaptor can be ordered from the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country!
  If you n t know how to find the service provider allowed in your country, please take a look on the homepage of European support of Toshiba. You will find a link to the database ASP.

  As you have already said the laptop automatically stops downs have nothing to do with the AC adapter.
  I agree with you for me, it looks like overheating!
  Usually, this happens if fans and cooling modules cannot run with maximum efficiency.
  Dust may prevent the complete rotating fan!

  I recommend to use the vacuum against the bars of cooling hose to clean the fans!
  It should help!
  But please be careful.

• Satellite A200 - STARTING problems, freezes on the connection of the power adapter

  My 3 YO A200 (PSAF3A-08202D has developed a problem with starting.
  I can start on battery power with WINDOWS VISTA BUSINESS (after 10 attempts, but freezes immediately when the power adapter is plugged in.)
  Display sometimes boots wide-screen, but mostly freezes before windows welcome.

  When running, the battery produces about 1 to 2 hours before a complete evacuation.
  When executing a battery, computer freezes when I plug Charger AC/DC immediately and going with my A100 charger as an alternative.

  Initial problem was a faulty hard drive and super hot air flow due to fluff the cooling block fan.
  Tech replaced original 120G HDD with 500 G and reloaded at the factory. works well for 3 months, then started with the same problems so conclude original disk HARD was just a secondary issue.

  So maybe fixed I overheated components on the motherboard. Reset of data cards initially fixed a problem starting but is gradually degraded.

  Reading through the forums seems that there is a huge amount of these laptops with similar issues. Is this a design flaw, like my other Satellite A100 is solid as a rock. All forums, which suggests resetting the cpu is running slow or be disconnected seem to be temporary repairs. Boot in safe mode and reset the default settings have no effect.

  A suggestion that a capacitor is at fault seems to be the fix is valid but which involves specialized tools is not available locally. Local agent of Harvey Norman for Toshiba are best part of unnecessary because they can send in Australia from Toshiba. Machine has been close to $2000 and is now worth Zip.

  I am unable to do anything with this machine, as all the ways of upgrading or resetting calls for AC power available and running.

  I'm about to do radical things and hope that this forum can enlighten us.

  Hi Mickaël

  You might be right. It seems that the motherboard is affected.
  Don't know why but higher temperature can still affect the internal parts.
  The temperature may increase if cooling fans n t working correctly. For example dust or debris leads to a higher temperature because cooling air cannot circulate properly.

  I have to clean my laptop's cooling grilles from time to time using a jet of compressed air. This allows to keep the temperature at the lower level.
  Of course the internal temperature is not always a reason for portable computers hardware malfunction equipment can begin to malfunction as always in an other products too: TVs, cars, game consoles

  I bought an extended warranty for my laptop, also for my LCD TV mercy always if a high-end product begin to malfunction and in the case of a warranty claim, the fault can be fixed free of charge.

• HP Pavilion 6500 goes out when the power adapter plugged

  My Pavilion 6500 (specifically dv6623cl) turns off when I plug in the power adapter. If I plug it in, then turn on the laptop, it automaticly turns off before loading windows. If the laptop is already started, and I can plug the power adapter, it immediately turns off. I can charge the battery without any problem, also while the laptop is turned off, but as soon as I turn it on with the adapter plugged it stops, I checked the battery through HP battery check and he said its good, he is holder of a charge very well and everything, the only change made to the laptop hardware wise was an upgrade memory I had no such problems until the upgrade of memory, but I do not see how it would affect the power on the aspect, in order to make a system restore, if ever, I need, the poweradapter must be plugged and theres other system functions that require the adapter complete, it is a question that must be corrected

  any ideads what the problem would be?

  any help is much appreciate

  Thank you, rayandmaura

  Talk to a jury of uselles / forum, do those who seek info on how to reset / bypass the bios password on their (or anyone elses) computer or something as it gets 20 pages of answers, but asking a power / card issue and your luck if you get a response at all,

  I'll just give up to deal with this useless community and just buy 3 extra batteries and remind all of the accused

• Iconia W4-820 will not charge with the power adapter USB Std

  Bought my W4 Iconia four weeks ago, a demonstration model, the last of them. It was packed in the box with a micro USB x adapter USB OTG cable and a power adapter. Back at home I discovered that the power adapter has been to Asus, possibly mixed in the shop. The prospective buyer of the Asus Tablet demo likely will get the Acer adapter. Adapter Asus with micro USB male connector works fine; specs are 5.2V - 1.35 amps; seems to be a STD USB adapter. The Asus adapter has a connector to USB female port to connect to a USB x microphone cable to USB adapter (with cable power adapter came in the box). Bought a 2nd power with USB 2 socket adapter to connect my W4 Iconia and my Garmin Zumo390 browser to an adapter. Specs are 5V - 3.5 amps.
  The Zumo works very well with the new card, but does not work my W4. Charge light stays off. USB ports switched to he Zumo and the Iconia W4, but same result. Zumo fresh, but W4 not. Borrowed another power adapter USB, 5V - 2 mines anti-personnel and new Zumo accusations, but the W4 still does not work. Also tried different USB adapter cables, but the same thing; Zumo invoice, W4 does not work.
  How is that possible? I can't tell the difference of 0.2 V between the Asus adapter and a USB adaptor STD would make the difference. But maybe I'm wrong. Wanted for adapters for the W4 Iconia and found several, but all the 5V as expected.
  Can anyone help.
  Will go to the shop again next week, but if I need an adapter V 5.2 I should order with Acer. 5.2 V adapters do exist not (readibly).

  Resolved issues. A dark and humid Sunday afternoon back to the store with the Tablet and all the bells and whistles. Changed the card Asus for the original Acer 5V - 2Amps (10W). Took the time to find the Acer adapter in the store. Demonstrated the adapter 2nd with 2 output USB ports and it wouldn't work with the Tablet W4. Tried another and found to be ok. 2 USB ports have a different power, a port for a smartphone and the other port is one tablet. Total power rating of the adapter is 17.5W (5V - 3.5Amps); some 2.5 and 1Amps. A happy man is back home again.

• I have a G61 that won't start with the power adapter in, is this normal?

  My CA G61 - 320 will not start.  With the battery and the power adapter in, front power light blink 3 times.  With and without battery power adapter only, there is no lights at all and computer remains off.  Should not the computer always start and run with the power adapter even if the battery is dead?

  Have you tried with another plugged AC adapter and remove the battery?

  Kind regards

• The A7r will work with only the power adapter plugged

  I want to use this camera (once I have purchaced one) to copy photos and slides.  There may be a lot of time involved, and it would be nice not having to worry about battery life.

  Hello oldchas! AC adapter / CC of the A7R is not able to provide a continuous camera power while it is operating. Only a charged battery can power the device. Power must be turned off and the camera connected to the AC adapter to charge the battery. The battery is not charged if the switch is on when you are connected to the power adapter.

• Cinema poster 30 '' Dead - could this be the power adapter?

  Monitor: Cinema Display 30 ''

  Computer: Connected to a MacBook Pro mid 2012 of the retina with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB of RAM.

  Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M 1024Mo

  I got the screen of cinema since 2007. Used with a tower for the first five years, replaced the tower with a MacBook Pro in 2012. The CD went with the laptop using a bolt of lightning > DVI adapter for about 3.5 years, worked ok. Finally, the Cinema Display monitor everything went black. The LED in the corner is always on when powered. I can still use the power on the CD button to turn the monitor on/off, standby system etc. the MBP still sees the CD in monitors when the adapter is plugged. The CD can still push USB devices. But there is no picture, no matter what I do.

  Finally carried the old tower outside and connected to it, just to see if it was something with the MBP the CD. Same results, no image.

  I noticed that the power adapter brick remains cold. If it's just that bad, and I could replace it for a relatively low cost? I see the price of $150/200 on Amazon. Don't want to waste his time with that much more, it's a 9 year old monitor. But I really loved and I want to see if I can get pulled upward again.

  Thank you.

  Looks like either the back lit display is on the way out (you can tell if the monitor is nothing display by shine a very bright light until the front screen and see if you notice any displayed video), or the display is not simply detect the output signal of your GeForce card. I have a NVidia GTX 770 and one of my 3 cinema Display is sometimes the same thing. I end up having to unplug the screen for a few seconds, use WIndows to detect the display, plug the monitor back in and detect the display again to get any video to show on screen. It is intermittent but sometimes quite stubborn. Good luck! If you have two monitors, you can use work to see whether or not your cinema is even detected. If it is, but the screen is always black, it is likely, that you will need the spare parts for backlight.

• Satellite A300 may depend on from when the power adapter plugged

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300 when the laptop is connected to the power adapter I have no possibility to turn it on, it's only 2-3 seconds once it comes down.
  When Toshiba is enabled with the battery power and I tried to connect the adapter it also goes down.
  I have no problem with the charge itself, but only with working with AC adapter.

  Please help me what can I do with this problem, does anyone has similar problem?

  Hello!

  For me it sounds like a hardware failure of the motherboard if the AC/DC adapter is plugged and the laptop is turned on

  I don't know but how best to m would be if you go to the authorized service provider nearest with the AC/DC adapter. Technicians can check your laptop and swap the motherboard if it of really necessary. The guys are very friendly and helpful!

  Here, you can search the nearest ASP:

• Computer HP laptop goes black when the power adapter is connected

  Hello, g ' Day

  I have a HP Envy Sleekbook m6 and just today I realized after plugging in the power adapter tge screen woul go completely black. I can hear the cell phone still in market, but I don't see anything. If I play music until the screen goes black, it stops. I tried to change the power plan to see if that would settle the matter, but it does not work. Is there a way I can fix this?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi jessiecornwall,

• Satellite L655 - questions turn on when the power adapter is unplugged

  Hello

  I have a problem with my new Satellite L655. When the power adapter is disconnected and wireless is disabled, the laptop can turn on for less than a second turn it off again. OR turn 'power' and 'Wireless' turns on, but black screen and hd light; After startup bios of 30-40 seconds, the wireless light turns off and hd lights; OR turn on normally;

  Toshiba has changed the motherboard a few days ago, but the problem persists. Update BIOS. My laptop is the only one affected

  Thank you in advance,
  Maurizio.

  Hey Buddy,

  > Toshiba has changed the motherboard a few days ago, but the problem persists
  So have you contacted already technicians again? You must tell them that the problem is still not resolved and it must be another reason for this problem. Then get in touch with technicians again to clarify this issue.

  Have you connected external devices while laptop is turned off?
  -Online if yes remove each of them.

  Load default settings in the BIOS?
  -Online if it is not this. Enter in the BIOS, and then press the F9 key to load defaults.

  Otherwise, it would be time to service as I have already written. It must be a nuisance material
