My Satellite P300 does not illuminate

My Satellite P300 (PSPC4A - 03Q 018) switched on me unexpectedly while I was playing a game. I noticed he was running a little hot (it was on a level with clear vents office). I checked the time CPU. with the software and it showed levels up to 80 c while just browse Internet and up to 100 C + all playing games.

So I blew the vents with compressed air - no change.

After a little research, I decided to renew the thermal grease. The pulling down of some of the fat has hardened as it seems like a useful exercise. After putting together I have nothing. The only life that I had was a quick flash of the LED AC (the symbol of the plug on the front of the palm rest) when I plugged in, but that's all.

What I've tried so far: I stripped down and everything reinstalled at least three times. This includes the processor, even if I didn't remove it at the beginning when I replaced the thermal grease. I reinstalled all the cables. I tried it with just the battery, just the AC line and at the same time. I tried to remove the RAM chips and put one by one in different locations. I tried to remove the battery and the AC, holding down the power for 30 seconds button line and try again with just the battery, just the AC line and at the same time.

I think I either ESD'ed the card or mother or other component/s but I hope it is something much much painful/cheaper. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hello

Sounds that something bad happened to your hardware for laptop
Maybe the RAM modules are faulty or the motherboard.
I think that no one here would be able to tell which part is malfunctioning.

What to say; If you n t know what part is affected, so I recommend asking a technician for a short control, I mean it is the best step before buying parts including don t need to be replaced

After the hardware parts have been checked, you can decide what you want to do. sell this laptop faulty or replace parts
But the new motherboard is not cheap...

    Toshiba Satellite A300D does not illuminate

    The battery light is red when it is plugged in with the light of the white plug

    When I press the power button it lights up two other fires, and one that looks like a sheet a4 fact paper.it a vibration when turning it on also.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.
    Leave the laptop unplugged and then hold down power button / stop along 30 sec.
    Then reconnect the two parts and check how the unit works.

    In which case nothing would be visible on the screen, try replacing the RAM modules. Perhaps one of the modules is the troublemaker
    Otherwise if the RAM modules are OK, the problem could be linked to the motherboard.

    Hello

    Well, to me it sounds like a battery problem
    Why you say that the battery must be good?
    Have you checked it or because the technician?

    In most cases if the battery is faulty then the laptop would have no power until it would be connected to the power adapter.

    So I think (but that's just my personal opinion) the battery must be enabled (by technician, ASP) and if necessary should be replaced.

    See you soon

  • Satellite P300 does not load

    Hello.

    I have Toshiba Satellite P300. It's almost 4 years.
    However, 3 months ago it started not not to charge the battery. I removed the battery and the computer left only with the adapter.
    Now it does not charge to one, I have to wait until electricity or sth will reach a level to start the computer.

    So, please help, if anyone has had similar problems or know the reason why and what to do.
    Maybe its adapter problem, or something wrong with the connection between the adapter and the pc. I don't know and have no money yet to check it out.

    Someone knows what's the problem? Thank you.

    These issues can be related to different reasons;
    -AC adapter problem
    -Question-motherboard (I especially m thinking to provide electronic problem)

  • Satellite U840 does not illuminate

    Hello

    Yesterday I went to turn on my Satellite U-840 ultrabook and nothing happened when I pressed the power button. I left the laptop plugged in and with an external hard drive connected (and turned on) I had several times previously.

    The LED lights up when the laptop is connected to the power supply and shuts off when it is not.

    On the audit of this problem on google, most of the advice said to unplug the laptop, remove the battery and hold the power for 30 seconds or more, then replace the battery and power and it should work.

    However, with this ultrabook, it is not possible to remove the battery.

    Is there an alternative solution for this?

    Hello

    Unfortunately this mentioned workaround does not work always and only if the laptop's hardware is not affected.
    As an alternative, disconnect the power adapter and leave the laptop disconnected for a longer period of time, but I guess that's not very useful

    I think the warranty to be valid, so in this case, you don't have to wait for some auto magic cure, but you should contact the technical service to check the hardware.

  • Satellite A200 does not illuminate

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba satellite a200, it lights, it gives me a black screen and 1 long and 2 short beeps, the only lights that light up are the witness of load and the light of the HARD drive, what's the problem?

    I emptied the power from the motherboard and replaced the RAM.

    Well, usually its nothing unusual for the laptop to do one or two short beeps during the startup process.
    But if the laptop will beep and the system does not have a serious hardware problem may exist.

    I'm afraid there is a problem of serious motherboard and no doubt that replacing the mobo would help you to solve this problem.

    The webcam integrated on my Satellite P300-h-13 no longer works. When I try to use it I get the following message: locked by another application. The only program on my computer that uses a webcam is MSN Messenger, Skype Yes or as some programs are not the problem.

    I saw some other threads on this subject, but those ppl had another laptop. And because I don't know that much about computers that I wasn't sure if I had to do the same steps to make repair.

    Could someone help me please?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    This issue is known to me because I also had, and it was solved by installing Vista SP1!

    You can resolve this follow these steps:

    Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.

    Install Service Pack 1 for Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1) or the full SP1

    Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)

    If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.

    Try closing the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.

    To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L635-S9320 machine today, when I turned it on it not to launch at all so I plugged the adapter and who got the white flashing of the LED DC and power LED orange flashing and the
    computer does not respond to the switch that I wonder how to solve this problem.

    > DC LED white flashing and power on an orange flashing light

    It seems that the laptop has developed a hardware problem.
    The motherboard provides a code flashing, which means there could be a problem with electronic power supply

  • Satellite 210cs does not illuminate.

    I recently met an old 210cs satellite, the first time I turned it on I got an incorrect checksum. Then tried again and after a quick memory check, Windows 95 starts.
    Had the laptop down for about 5 minutes then it turns off, tried again the next day and it wouldn't start.
    During his tour on the disk hard grinds once then stops, a few seconds later there is a dull thunk. All I get is a white screen. I thought it was a hard drive crash, but who would stop the bios from?
    Help, please.

    Hello

    The CMOS Checksum Bad Error is an error that occurs when the CMOS values are incorrect and the error message can appear for different reasons;
    It seems built-in.
    -CMOS battery does not properly
    -the BIOS has been updated
    -the cell phone was off not normally

    In your case I would ignore the last two points and would presume that your problem is related to the faulty motherboard or the ROM chip (chip BIOS).
    Unfortunately, it looks like a serious problem, and I think that only a technician or a motherboard replacement could help. Is that a new party would be more expensive than your oldi. Then maybe you can visit some websites of auctions for a second hand mobos or a laptop another :(

  • Satellite L750 does not illuminate

    Hello.

    I recently acquired a portable Satellite L750 who has a problem where it not light but annoyingly he teases me by working perfectly on rare occasions, it seems to me as if there is little hope for it. When I press the power button, the power light comes on for a second or 2 then goes off again, the fan does not turn and nor does the hard drive.

    I got him pressing the escape key while pressing the power button, I could access the menu of the BIOS but I left it overnight after that day. In the morning, he failed put on, this time it remained under tension (e.g. fan, HARD drive, and lights were on) but apparently not POST correctly because there was no hard disk activity or anything on the screen. This has been rectified by moving the single module of RAM from one location to the other, after that it worked perfectly again and I was able to use it for 4 hours with no sign of problems that until ever I turn it off.

    24 hours later the laptop is back to its original problem where only the power LED turns on for a second then it stops again. I tried the main thing of escape as before, moving the ram several times, remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes, but nothing works. I deleted each item one by one and tried to power on but the problem remains. I swapped the RAM module with a well-known work. Food looks good even under a load of 10 ohms. There don't seem to be all components damaged visually on the motherboard.

    If anyone has an idea what so ever then I would be delighted to hear it, be as technical as you want.

    First I thought it might be a memory problem since the first attempt to move the RAM module has helped to get the laptop to life. But since the good use of new modules of work does not resolve the problem, I think that the problem is related to the fault of the motherboard.

    This is of course just my personal opinion, but I think you know that only a few rare parts could cause such problems. It could be a faulty motherboard, CPU and graphics card.
    Possible RAM problem has been already excluded so probably it s a very affected mother board

    What do you think?

  • Satellite L840 does not illuminate!

    I hope someone here can help me...
    I bought my daughter a new Toshiba Satellite L840 for Christmas and it will not light!

    He was charged for several hours and the power led lights up, makes a quiet noise as if it is going to start up, but the screen is completely blank. We tried a few buttons but still nothing.

    We have obviously not been through any process of implementation because the screen has not recorded anything yet. We tried to turn it off for a few minutes and start again, nothing helps...

    It seeks desperate to use his gift of Christmas, but so far has not been able to.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  • Satellite P300 does not start because of HARD drive password

    I have a Satellite P300 laptop and it seems to be frozen.
    When I turn it on a blue box rises and requires a HARD drive password before windows turns on, but I can't type the password because there is no cursor.
    None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.

    I was wondering if I have to buy a new hard drive and if I do, can get one with more capacity that it is only 149 gb?

    I don t want to buy if its repairable,.

    Thank you

    > None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.
    Connect an external USB keyboard and check if you can type the HARD drive password.
    Generally, if you know the HARD drive password, the use of the external USB keyboard should work

    Would it be possible that your keyboard is broken?
    You can access the BIOS F2 press during the startup of the device?
