Flashing orange

Ive got toshiba satellite, when I turn on one of the orange light stays flashing, what should I do?

Hello

It is the power light? If so the battery is charging - it will trickle charge automatically every so often
so it's perhaps normal.

Best source of information would be Toshiba support, their books online and ask in their forums.

  • Re: Satellite A105 - seeing of power started flashing orange/battery not charging

    I have a satellite A105-4054, which gave excellent service. Yesterday, the orange started power light flashing and ceased to charge the battery. I had a second freshly charged battery, that I used instead and the power led still flashes in orange.

    I checked the Original Toshiba charger that came with the device, with a voltmeter and it shows 15 volts, which is correct. The laptop starts normally with a freshly charged battery, but it does not load when it is plugged and the power light flashes orange constantly. If I remove the battery and leave the laptop plugged in, continually amber power light flashes and nothing happens (no voltage). I'd be happy to run just the laptop on AC, but it is not possible now

    The toshiba power utility system icon, when the laptop is started on the new battery, flushing back and forth between the load and the battery, and the battery does not seem to charge. Previously, the power utility would show current alternative continuously when the unit is connected and the power light stay blue.

    I love the laptop, because he rendered services superb and would like to keep. All reasonable solutions, please?

    Thanks guys (and girls)!

    On this virtual path, no one can say with certainty what the problem, but after reading your detailed ad, I think there is problem with electronic power supply on the motherboard. Technicians with tools only special diagnostic can say with certainty what the problem is here.

    In my opinion there is not a lot you can do about it, and in this case, entire motherboard must be exchanged. If you want to contact the nearest authorized maintainer, explain the situation and I hope that they can tell you more.

  • Satellite 5200-801-indicator of battery flashes orange while dc is green

    I have SATELLITE 5200-801, the battery light flashes orange while the domain controller is green and the laptop works
    stop when it is off.
    the battery is empty.

    I can't boot from external USB cdrom to install windows as its internal DVD does not work

    Help, please

    > Ok I fix the battery problem was feeding me to change.
    Nice to hear that! :)

    > But I still can't start external USB cdrom
    Have you checked if your laptop computer (BIOS) supports booting from an external USB drive? I doubt it would be possible on old Satellite 5200. If you exchange your CD-ROM drive. You can look on eBay for the part of second hand, they are a little cheaper. :)

  • Satellite Pro A120 - DC-in is flashing orange, why?

    My Satellite Pro A120 DC - in flashes orange once I plugged my universal charger.
    I read my user manual. It is said it can be caused by an abnormal voltage or a power problem but I don't know if my charger is the one bringing or there is a power problem.

    The voltage is correct and I tried to plug in charger everywhere but still DC-flashes orange. In fact, I can t use my laptop when the charger is unplugged because its battery lows down so I can t use my laptop at all when he can load t.

    It makes me think that maybe the battery is the problem. In any case, what is the problem at the start of DC-in flashing orange.

    Please help me what to do. Thank you

    Hi jane18.

    > once I plugged my universal charger.
    And what happens if you use the AC/DC to original Toshiba adapter that came with your laptop?

  • Satellite 2805-S201: AC power light flashes orange 8 times

    Hello

    I worked on a Satellite 2805-S201 and everything was fine until I put a PCMCIA wireless with 3, 3V power.
    After that, the AC power light flashes orange 8 times and recycle.

    It comes with power supply, battery, AC and no battery installed, etc. If I pull out the power plug and the battery and then put both when AC is green and the battery may charge. As soon as I push the power button, I hear a light click on the right side of the device and then it goes into the amber cycling power.

    Bulletins of support mentioned that the card could get damaged, but did not mention the unit itself.
    No, the PCMCIA card is not always connected

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    The flashing provides a micro code which refers to the hardware failure.
    But please don't ask me what might mean this code because in my opinion, only an authorized service provider can be read and can check in his manuals and documentations.
    But it is of course, in most cases, it s a hardware problem of motherboard! ;(

    Perhaps the external PCMCIA card was not totally compatible and damages of something on the map but it's only my personal suggestion to ensure what s bad hardware fault diagnosis would be necessary.

  • Satellite Pro M10 cannot start properly - AC LED flashing orange

    Hello

    I have a weird problem that I can't solve.

    (1) when my Satellite Pro M10 the plugged AC adapter and the battery, the AC led is green and battery led is orange.
    (2) when I try to turn it on, several times it not light and the dissepear of leds for 1 or 2 seconds and my AC led flashes orange. Sometimes it lights up as it should be.
    _________
    When this problem occurs, it will take a lot of time before it turns normally. I searched the internet for a solution, but I couldn't find one.

    I already removed the battery and try to turn it on, but it does not solve the problem. Or when I remove the AC adapter and try to start it on the battery itself.

    I also removed the two of them and you press the button power on for 60 seconds. After that, it will sometimes start with mains or battery adapter.

    My bios is updated to the latest version. (I've done this when he started only five minutes ago, but the problem is not resolved). I also believe that when the m10 is enabled and when I close it, it crashes also.

    Do anyone know how to solve the poblem? Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    These problems are very rare and shouldn't t happen if hardware or software is ok.
    Power LED blinking orange means there could be a hardware malfunction.
    It is a code flashing microphone and a technician can be read.
    This code must be translated into the hexadecimal digit.

    But for ordinary users it s not able to know what it means. In my opinion a power electronic malfunctions and must be verified by an ASP.

  • Qosmio G50 - 12 q - AC IN LED flashes orange

    What can 'depend on. a battery problem because if I remove and reinsert stops flashing and lights up again?

    Hello

    I never heard of something like that it s really strange that you must remove the battery before you start the computer
    Do you use the of original AC/DC adapter and battery?

    What you might try is updated the BIOS. You can find it on the Web from Toshiba website.

    But my personal opinion: it s a hardware malfunction and that means you need professional help from an ASP :(

  • Flashing Orange light - to the right of the SD/MMC slot

    Why an orange light flashes next to the slot SD/MMS?

    It looks like a coil or something. Just below it is a solid blue light that looks like a radio tower with curves on each side, as it is to show the power out of it. But the orange light flashes, I wonder about that. I never gave no notice to the frontcourt, but the cat was to stick to something and I went to look for, and it was the orange light flashes. I don't know if it was always there or what. This is on a HP Pavilion 500f about four years. Can you tell me what this means or if I need to do something? Thank you.

    Hello @allcolors,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I read your post about how you want to know what radio flashing orange light is on the front panel of your desktop computer, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

    The blue light flashing on the front panel is light of wireless radio on your computer indicating a connection to your network, and the amber light indicates hard drive activity. I hope this helps!

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not start - DC IN flashes orange

    Hi all.

    My toshiba laptop Satellite s1800-712 has suddenly stopped working. Whenever I try to turn it on, I get the following blink code that repeats on the DC-IN power icon.

    The icon flashes orange in the following diagram. 1 short, 1 long, short 5, 1 x long. Anyone know what this means?

    If it helps, I use a TPA90DC APC travel power adapter PSU (as my original toshiba one broken. The APC unit is located at 15V.

    I think it's a hardware failure, but that's all that can be easily fixed? I opened the laptop a few times to replace the CPU and clean, but I don't think that the fault is negligence on my part because I always open it in an antistatic environment. To be honest, this laptop to cost me too much money in modernization and if this fault is something that requires expensive repairs, I can just sell it for parts.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Mary,

    The blink code is used to locate the real failure so that the repair technicions knowing where to start checking for problems. Unfortunately these codes are published not generally then I suggest that you call a Toshiba authorized repairer and ask their opinion on fault. This way you do not have to engage in costly repairs until you know how much they are likely to cost.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro 6100 - problem starting (light flashing Orange)

    On my laptop Satellite Pro 6100, seeing DC IN (first on the left) flashes orange and the laptop does nothing else (no display or sound). The light flashes for 8 times, has a long pause and then starts all over again.

    I tried a different adapter with no joy. It does the same thing if you use only the battery and if you run from the adapter without the battery.

    The only time wherever it shows a different light is when you take the battery out, put back in and hold the power button. Led Slim Select Bay (second right) briefly turns green, but it turns off and the led DC IN resumption of the orange blink.

    It seems likely that it is an internal hardware problem (power supply, motherboard, etc.). Does anyone have any ideas? And as anyone knows anywhere which lists all the different orange light codes for Toshiba laptops?

    Hi André,.

    You are right in thinking that there is a hardware failure (most likely your motherboard). Flashing codes are used by service technicians to indicate the nature of the fault and I have yet to find anywhere who publishes the real meaning of these codes.

    I think it looks like a trip to the nearest Service Agent. :-(

  • Flashing orange LED on Qosmio F20

    To cut a long story short, my Qosmio is no longer in effect.

    It has 5 LED lights on the front. I need to know what message they give some in order to identify the problem.

    Five to the left led flashes orange (irregular) and refuse it to power Qosmio. The flashing light does not occur when the Qosmio is not connected to the electric network.

    Basically, I need to know what know me.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Of course, there is a power electronic and portable problem sends the hexadecimal code. To know what this code means that you know exactly how to read this code.

    Unfortunately I didn't find any public documents about it. In any case, I believe that without service there is not much to do. Or maybe you try fix it yourself?

  • Satellite L455 - plug-and - battery LEDs power LED and it flashes orange

    I have a Satellite L455, which worked perfectly for more than six months now, but two weeks ago he began to behave strangely.

    I turned off the machine normally in the evening I was going to sleep. In the morning when I turned on it it turned on, HARD drive and on power LED blinked blue for a few seconds then they are gone. Machine does not start. I tried to turn it on again and it does the same thing. Then I saw the "power plug on" and "battery on" LED flashes orange at the same time. I unplugged the power adapter. Both lights were continuous blinking but machine will not feed. I removed the battery for a piece of 5 minutes, then reinserted it and the machine has worked all day.

    I went he deleted off the power plug and the morning again it wouldn't start until the when I removed the battery for a few minutes then it works again. The battery recharges very well that when I remove and reinsert it even without connecting the power cable still lights up and works perfectly.

    Then, I removed the battery and the power supply Plug and you press the power button for 30 seconds to unload the machine and then return power and battery and it worked until I turned off again and shutting off the power and then it didn't once again.

    If I stop just of machine and do not turn off the power cord, then I can turn it back on to and work with the machine without hassle even for three days without interruption.

    What could be wrong? Any help will be really appreciated.

    Hi chidzungo,

    It must certainly be a hardware malfunction but he s strange why it pops up every day after you have closed the laptop. Do you use batteries and AC/DC to original Toshiba adapter? Have you connected external devices to your laptop? If so delete them before you turn on your laptop.

    What version of BIOS is installed at the moment? You should look on the Web from Toshiba website for an update. Update of the BIOS might also help and it s worth a try.

    Before you start reading the BIOS BIOS update instructions update [HERE: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=60]

    Satellite L455 seems to be an American model, so the BIOS update can be downloaded from the Toshiba U.S. page but first check the exact part number:
