Equium P300 - broken power supply

Last summer, I bought the laptop above.
He was in to be repaired twice for the same issue - broken power supply.
Today the issue happened again so once more, end up with a useless laptop.

I am so in anger that my computer is either defective or it is not be repaired correctly.

Anyone know if this is a common problem?

Broken power supply-> do you mean the power adapter or the power plug?

However, I doubt that this is a common problem
I think that it s simply no chance or maybe the technician has done something wrong, who knows.

In your case it s highly recommended to contact the ASP guys again (which replaced this part in the past) and to clarify this issue

Good luck

  • Equium P300 - 16t power problems

    My laptop Equium P300-16 t has suddenly stopped working. When it is connected, the power icon is always on view, but the battery icon has disappeared, and the battery icon when you press the power button flashes red for a few seconds before disappearing... it means I need a new battery?

    I thought that the computer could work without the battery, if it was still not able to connect to a power supply via the power adapter? I just wanted to check before you buy a new battery, I don't want to spend £50 on something that is unnecessary, especially if I have to buy a new laptop.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I don t think you need a new battery because the laptop should work without the battery only on the AC adapter.
    I guess that this problem is related to the motherboard or components (RAM) on the motherboard.

    Guess what? Try this:
    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.
    Now press the power button / 30 sec long. Connect the two parts, then try to turn on the unit.
    To be honest I m not sure if this would help you but it s worth a try

    If this does not help, delete one of the RAM modules and test the device using a module in each slot, but in the worst case it is a motherboard problem, and this should be verified by a Toshiba ASP

  • Equium P300-190 power - free problem

    Hi all

    This is my first post here/first Toshiba number after owning my laptop for about 4 years!

    I have a big problem with my Equium p300-190, with a Li-ion battery.

    This morning, there seems to be a problem with my diet. The connection of the charger would change quickly load and then do not load per second or more.

    This continued all day until the computer turns off suddenly.
    Now even when the charger is connected, the lights on the front of the computer not able to save it as a laptop.

    Initially, I thought it was a charger problem, but the computer turns off when the power of 43%. I was wondering if someone can help me to determine if it is a battery problem or a problem of motherboard, as well as the suggested courses of action.

    Any help is really appreciated!

    > Now even when the charger is connected, the lights on the front of the computer not able to save it to the loading of the laptop.

    This means that the power LED and AC adapter LED don t light even if the AC adapter is plugged?

    In this case the new, good working AC adapter must be connected to verify if she s AC adapter or mobile phone related problem.

    Just FYI: I n t think that the problem is battery since the laptop should work fine with the AC adapter only. Even if the battery is removed and AC adapter connected, the laptop must turn on

    So either the AC adapter or portable s hardware problem.

  • Equium A60 - 155 Power Supply Problem

    Hey guys,.

    I've had my laptop for several years now, but it was replaced a few times is not so old.
    I have problems with my battery to charge, I thought it was the power adapter that was the problem until I bought a new one and it would not load.

    When I used to plug in the charger it works if the lead was bent at an angle, now it won't work at all... So I think that there is a problem... as with the port it charges through internally.
    If anyone has any help with how to fix this or how it will be cost to fix the help would be appreciated so much!

    In addition, my warranty has run out so this is a no go.
    Thank you, Rebecca.

    Hello Rebecca

    Sorry, but I think that there is nothing that you can do it alone. The laptop needs to be tested with special tools and this should be done by technicians.
    To write something on the price isn't easy because I think that the prices are not the same for each authorized, service provider

    I don't know where you live, but I recommend you check out http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/ > support & downloads > find an ASP. You will find the addresses and phone numbers. Connect with some of them in your country and ask for prices.

    Good luck!

  • Equium P300-16 t - no power

    Hello...

    Not sure if anyone can help me out here?

    I have a Toshiba Equium P300-16t

    Initially when turned on, lights, dvd starts, 2 low beeps (which seems to do it on all laptops) then the screen turns on but would not go further?

    I left the power cable with the laptop off the battery when the battery is charged, press the power button, the button light, 2 seconds, goes off... Nothing else happens?

    Anyone know what may be the problem?
    Or if I can do something to make it work again.

    While the laptop seems to be starting, (lighting of the screen to the top) I tried a new screen, the same result, the new ram and hard disk, always the same result...

    Now without apparent reason, as I said, since the loaded battery, laptop don't even start? (I tried different batteries and without battery but still nothing?)

    Thank you very much in advance for any help anyone can offer.

    Kind regards.

    Deevie

    Hello

    I put t think the battery is the problem.
    If the AC adapter is plugged in the laptop must lights without the connected battery. You have tested the new RAM and the problem persists?
    Well, in this case, the motherboard may be defective or other part as CPU.

    It seems that the laptop can not pass the POST (power on self test) and in this case primarily the motherboard is default.

  • Satellite A30 213: broken in the power supply pin

    I have so many problems with this.
    I'd rather put it in the trash than to fix it, but unfortunately I have important documents that I have not saved.

    Basically, the PIN into the Jack of the laptop is broken and I can't be able to my laptop and my battery is running out of power

    The battery is in the battery-compatible A30 - 213 in the A30 714?

    And someone has other solutions?

    Please answer as soon as possible

    Hello

    First of all a few words about the battery.
    If I m not wrong not the Satellite A30 213 uses the same battery as the A30-714.
    Therefore, you should be able to use the same battery in both units A30.

    With regard to the question on another solution.
    Well, there is only one real solution. The power supply needs to be replaced.
    I m not sure if it s only plugged or soldered on the map. However, I recommend you contact the ASP in your country for assistance.
    This should be always replaced by a mobile technician because the dismantling procedure is very delicate and difficult.

    Best regards and good luck

  • Equium A200-1VO - what could be done to improve the situation of power supply?

    I recently bought an Equium A200 1VO as one second laptop - my other (an Aspire) is excellent, but a bit heavy in the basket to autour. Anyway, it seemed fabulous value and has worked very well so far - but I just discovered a catch today, the low battery life. I understand that this gap is shared with most of the other laptops of a comparable weight.

    In any case, I wonder what could possibly be done about (I often use my laptop while on the move, in locations without power outlet available, and less than 1 hour of power is very restrictive (I know powersave and others)-especially compared to my other laptop which is about 3 hours on battery)?

    Is there a portable power charger (the type with which you can load to the top of their rechargeable batteries on the sector, then take them and be able to charge mobile phones, iPods, etc. several times without needing an external power supply), as the Proporta one, who could charge a laptop as well (well, this laptop)? And how about the 9 cell Li-ion battery that sell Toshiba (or for that matter, one 6 cells)?

    How long will pretty much those give me? Are there other types of batteries that can be purchased for an extra life?

    Any suggestions on how I could get more autonomy would be most appreciated.

    Hi guys

    > what could be done to improve the situation of power supply
    You could buy a stronger battery which delivers more power for a long time
    You should take a look at the value of mA; more better ;)

    Also please don t forget that the Vista operating system needs more power as an early OS like XP.
    Vista needs more power because it wastes more computing resources.
    I read that a same notebook would run 2 times longer on battery with preinstalled W2K or XP.

  • Equium A60 power supply insulation question

    My laptop recently failed a PAT to trial because of the continuity of the Earth. For background, it's a laptop bought UK but I am running an advance Australian 3-pin into the power adapter as I am in Australia.

    I saw somewhere on here that standard satellite UK does not connect through the Earth and I wonder if someone can confirm the preference for an official title, because I believe that this is the cause of the problem, but it doesn't seem to be, for example, a symbol 'double insulation' on diet, nor the manual referred to - the laptop works very well and I have no reason to suspect the power supply are faulty.

    So wonder if it actually has a pin plug 2 (UK power points need the same if taken earth it is not connected, Australian points are not).
    I really need to resolve this issue I need to use my laptop on the site, but can't until he gets that agreement and I do not want to get a new (OEM) power when I do not think the existing one is broken, so I need something to test guys and show them that it is a normal behavior...

    Of course, if this isn't normal behavior, I would be better to know now!

    Thank you

    I Don t think that the power supply is broken, and it doesn't really matter what the wall of the AC cable is connected from the regulated AC adapter voltage by itself and has it s own ground.

    Maybe the PAT test fails, but food is not broken.

  • Equium M40X does not supply power to the top!

    The battery is U/S then removed. Power supply AC is applied, the fan works OK but nothing happens when you press the power button / stop the fan still works but machine does not start.
    If the laptop is left untouched for 2-3 weeks and applied power supply and power button / Stop button, it will then start to BACK but then starts hangs in the BACK!
    After shutdown, it will fuel not again unless leave for an extended period?
    This hitch has got me beat... has anyone out there had this problem before, and if so, how was it healed?

    Sounds really serious, I guess that the motherboard could be defective. Is someone did spilt coke on your machine? It would be interesting... :)

    I suggest you to send your machine to an authorized partner of toshiba, since your machine has a serious hardware problem. Before sending the machine to an ASP, you can try to exchange the RAM. Maybe with a different RAM, the machine * could * works properly but it s not guaranteed...

    Otherwise, if even a RAM doesn´t Microsoft exchange help, visit the link below and contact a service center in your country:

  • Equium P300-16 t - USB Power Port

    My machine is less than 4 weeks old.

    I recently bought a usb hub 2.0 4 generic ports for the system. When I plugged in (using the right side rear lane) I got my scanner and a USB connected. The scanner has not been turned on.

    I found that if I tried to access computer or Windows Explorer they would hang with the 'not responding message '. After some bug I found that it was the hub 4 ports which was the problem because I could plug the memory stick into a port any and it worked fine.

    I then plugged an old hub 4 ports (I had used with an old laptop and desktop) with the same features and it seemed to work although to be honest I've only tried in a port.

    I contacted the seller and yes it was eBay and they suggested to try another port because it might be a power supply problem of the port and when I plugged on the left rear port that everything worked well, so thought it was.

    This morning, I turned on and got an error that a usb device had failed and found it to be the hub. I then moved to the rear port of the right hand, that I had problems with initially and it works.

    It would seem that the output power of the usb ports is fluctuating (know nothing about usb power levels) and just occasionally feeding the new hub (even if the led on the hub is turned on). Should I be concerned and can I do?

    Hello

    AFAIK all USB 2.0 ports provides and support 500mA.
    It is a standard.

    Some external USB devices require more power to work properly, and that's why the devices are equipped with external power supplies.
    There are also devices that require more power just standard USB could provide, but devices with no external power supply.

    In this case, it s a good idea to use a USB cable that can be connected to the 2 USB ports at the same time
    My 2.5 USB HDD was delivered with this cable.

    I remember that several USB hubs that also supports the external power supply and maybe you should try this hub

    I think that this issue you really need professional help. Power supply is serious and you need to have valid information on this subject.
    I recommend you contact the nearest authorized service provider.

    You must understand the hat on this virtual path that nobody of can say for sure what is wrong there and we can only speculate on the potential problem.
    Who knows what's wrong there. Maybe there is a problem with electronic control gear.

    Unplug the power plug, remove the battery and leave it for a while. Try to start the laptop with AC power only.
    When you connect the AC power supply is LED on indicator system turned on?
    Is there a reaction when you press the power button / stop?

  • Equium P300 - control buttons do not work currently running Win XP

    Hi, I'm looking for help with a problem with a laptop Equium P300.

    This is my brother's laptop, he bought about 18 months ago, it came with Vista, he did not want what he preferred to have XP, so I changed the XP operating system by using the drivers available on the Toshiba Web site, update the appropriate drivers.

    This has worked well for the last 18 months, however, recently, when the laptop is off, touch-sensitive shortcut keys remain lit, even when disconnected from the power supply and do not work.
    Previously, if it has been disabled and you press one of the keys shortcut the laptop turns on but is no longer doing this.

    I wonder if anyone has had this experience before?
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this or even what the cause of the problem?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

    Hello

    You use Win XP on this laptop, then you must update the BIOS because there is a special BIOS for Win XP!
    In addition, the Toshiba multimedia control buttons are controlled by tool controls of Toshiba. You can download it from the page of the Toshiba driver.

    Regarding the buttons of enlightenment;
    AFAIK you can enabled and disable in the BIOS itself!

  • Equium P300-190 - Question about upgrading the processor

    Hello

    I just have a question for my CPU PC Toshiba laptop, I have a can of Equium P300-190 full to give model number if necessary the cpu is one supplied with the laptop.

    My question is I want to upgrade the processor but do not know which would be the best option and there are limits with the BIOS, etc. on board.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Probably it is not known to you that upgrading the CPU is not officially supported by the manufacturers of portable.

    The CPU upgrade is a tricky thing... the fact is that the CPU must be supported by chipset and BIOS.
    Where a party would not support the new processor, the unit will not light.

    So even if you use a CPU that is supported by the chipset (Intel GM965) there is a risk that the BIOS could not support the new processor...

    The laptop was equipped with processor Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor T2390 (Merom code name) probably the other CPU Intel Pentium Dual-Core family-owned would be compatible, but to be honest, you won't see a performance improvement...

    So in my opinion it is not worth trying to upgrade the processor...

    In my opinion, you need to replace the HARD drive with an SSD... in that case you will get the performance improvement...
