  Hello @AlesR ,

• 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

• 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.

  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 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:

• Flashing orange battery

  I just replaced the battery in my Inspiron B120.  I was told on the condition of the battery to run out and then recharge it fully three times.  On the second cooldown, I noticed the start battery light flashes orange while it was still plugged.  It is green initially (in the manual), then flashing green (also by the manual), but then started flashing orange.  I unplugged it and it stopped.  He had charged the battery to 98% when I turned on the computer, it seems that it is supported correctly.  I never had the clear orange come with my first battery, it's brand new and I have not been able to find an answer to why he does.  The manual States it should blink orange when the battery is low and not trendy.  For me, the computer is plugged and charge and the orange light comes on.

  Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Is there something wrong with the new battery I bought?

  I had the same problem.  From the start of my computer, I got a message saying that the battery was charging is more then I need to update bios driver.  I did it and it started to load again.  Google update driver bios for depending on your computer model and download the update.  After running it and accept the terms of service, it will automatically update and you should be able to load it again.  I know this is six years, but this info is for anyone who is experiencing this issue.  You may not replace the battery at all that I thought I might have to.

• LC - E6 quickly shows the flashing orange light. Will not charge the battery.

  The charger that comes with my new 5 d Mk III LC - E6 battery could not operate right out of the box. Would not load my new battery, nor any of my other Cannon batteries. Amber led flashes quickly.
  The old LC - E6 charger supplied with my EOS 7 d charging these batteries normally.
  I updated the scrapped charger delivered with my 5 d Mk III, and bought a new LC - E6 B & h. This unit has the same question. Sometimes it will load some of my batteries of Cannon, but more often the clear amber, after 20 seconds of just flashes quickly and will not charge the battery. My old charger LC - E6 Bill still all these batteries in normal mode.
  I use brand Canon LP - E6 batteries in these cameras.

  I followed the instructions found in the owner and guide online the site of Canon USA to charge the battery. The batteries are relatively new and show the good working condition on the information panel of the menu camera camera battery. These units (LC - E6) never worked properly.

  Tim,

  AC power removed normal home. All high-tech devices are functioning normally.

  As for replacement by Canon, I don't have the original invoices for this item, so I'm just going to buy another.

  Thanks again for your contribution.

• 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.

  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 :(

• 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. :-(
