Power to the Satellite C850-1 kN problem

Dear friends,

I'm Belgian and I received a call a few weeks ago desperate to an English friend (she's a student).
His laptop computer Toshiba Satellite C850-1 kN 15 months old did not illuminate. No sign of life anymoe...

Much to my surprise the standard warranty period is only 1 year in England (in Belgium and in many European countries, it is 2 years).
And of course that she should have taken an extended warranty, I would have told him (and now she realizes that too of course).

So she send it to me...

For the problem itself, I tied each thing on feeding issues (power reset by pressing the powerbutton for a minute, replacing the power brick, etc., etc., I even checked the current arriving on the motherboard, and it's ok...).

What surprises me is that I find so many references to power with Toshibas (and very little real solutions...) problems.

My friend treats his laptop very well, it looks brand new, I find such a pity to throw the laptop (even for ecological reasons).

A portable well-treated should operate for 4-5 years, at least..., and a decent society should not allow to happen, not even out of warranty (at least not after 15 months).

As you know that these laptops are not cheap (especially for a student...)

Can someone give me some advice (on the warranty or any technical suggestion...).

Thank you very much for your support (and for reading this!).

Kind regards
William

Hello

Obviously some serious hardware problem has occurred, and from my point of view of a few any material part could cause this problem.
I guess that the parts as modules of memory, motherboard so that the CPU may be affected, I assume that it is not possible to say what s wrong here without touching the laptop.

My laptop did lights not because one of the slots on the motherboard was faulty.
After that I removed one of the modules, the unit may be turned on.

One of my friends could not use the laptop because of the failure of memory. Two modules are dead at the same time the two parts have been replaced and unit still works so far

As you can see, the material can start to malfunction it is nothing unusual in the world of large computing
So what I will say; I think laptop engineer should check the hardware parts after you can decide whether you want to repair

  • Power on the Satellite Pro 3000 problem

    Wives Satellite S3000 has developed what appears to be a power problem

    Last night it started indicating that he doesn't have the power of the DC input... This seemed to be a fault of internittent stirring casued DC input light to return cable. Taking the DC Jack off main cable, I discovered that one of the two pins was broken.

    Is out today and bought a new 5.5mm/2.5mm DC Jack and reconnected thinking that everything would be OK... but there is no response from the laptop... the DC input light does not come on and neither does the indicator "charging battery".

    A multimeter indicates there is 19v DC decision-making.

    It seems to me that there may be an internal power problem. Otherwise there may be a problem with the power with respect to the current delivery.

    A battery totally buggered may this "non-response"? I expect the laptop to operate on DC power regardless of the internal State and secondary battery.

    Ideas appreciated... will see if I can alternative power source and try it before resorting to delve into the bowels of the thing!

    Thank you

    > A battery totally buggered may this "non-response"? I expect the laptop to operate on DC power regardless of the internal State and secondary battery.

    The laptop should run without battery. If the adapter is ok and if it was connected to the laptop, then it should be possible to start the machine.

    If the laptop does not start, then it must be a hardware problem.
    But believe me; It's not easy to say what exactly is the problem.

    Maybe you bought only a bad power adapter that is not compatible with the Sat Pro 3000?
    Or maybe there is something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard?
    Who knows?  :| Only the technician who checked the laptop can provide an exact error diagnostic.

  • Problem of management of power with the Satellite S2430-402

    Every time is start my laptop, I get a message saying "%1 is not a valid Win 32 application" under the heading "E-power", thus the Toshiba power management does not load. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software from the cd, but it does not work, and I still get the message.

    The problems began after I installed a program called Ghost Surf 2005 and ran for the first time. Since then I uninstalled but still has problems. I am running Windows XP operating system.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi Dan,.

    It seems that the software corrupted a file which is responsible for the powermanagement! There is what we call common files and it can be replace a file, the installation of Ghost surf!

    You can try to solve it with the Windows XP system restore when you set a restore point! Back to a restore point that was resolved before installing the software!

  • Problem with the Satellite C850/c850D touchpad

    Hello

    I just bought a PC toshiba laptop c850/c850D this week, and the third day, when I was watching my touchpad mouse with chrome starts to panic.

    I could barely control the mouse with the touchpad, it kept "shooting up" at the top of the screen.
    I rebooted the system to get the touchpad working not all (mouse key on laptop included).
    When I plug in an external mouse via USB, it works very well.

    I tried the shortcuts F5 (turning the touchpad on the laptop market)
    I have the mouse controls. Where the mouse USB and the touchpad is visible. He said only that it works properly, which is obviously not.
    has taken a printscreen: http://i49.tinypic.com/2m4vebt.jpg

    I even went as far as restoring the computer to the factory settings by pressing f8 whilest reboot etc etc.
    The touchpad mouse doesn't always work...

    It works under windows 7.

    Could someone please help me understand how to get my touchpad working again?

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    The F5 turns the touchpad on and off
    Please check if the touchpad is not disabled.
    You can also visit the Toshiba UE driver page to download the latest driver for touchpad
    The update of the touchpad driver solves many problems of touchpad.

  • Satellite C850-13F - collection problem

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C850-13F purchased as new and system recovery problems.

    It came pre-installed with Windows 7 - foolishly, I forgot my Windows password. Then someone I know think they would help me and installed Windows 8 (a trial version) on this laptop.

    I don't like any of Windows 8 and want to remove it. I'll reset everything to factory with Windows 7 settings, etc.

    I would be very happy for any help or advice to achieve this. Thank you very much.

    Did you create the recovery disk / way in the past to make this recovery process?

    If not, visit this page and there you will be able to order this support:

    The recovery media will set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

  • White screen on startup of the satellite C850

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite C850 PSCBWA-05E001 so 18 months out of warranty now.
    I bought it for a few friends, I gave him to who are in the Philippines, so it is difficult for me to check and repair. My friends lack the funds to get it checked if any help would be appreciated.

    Some days he started to initiate a white screen. You can see the mouse, but that's all. They are unable to get the computer display anything. I read on several forums that it could be a video cable however I got them to hooked to an external monitor to work through the laptop's VGA output & restarted the laptop & the external monitor goes to white screen which are also seems to exclude a faulty video cable as this would affect the monitor to the laptop only I think.

    I'm concerned that does not the video card is a graphics chip of integregrated I guess that means to replace the whole motherboard I guess.

    Very disappointed for my friends since the machine is just out of warranty.
    Someone at - it ideas?

    > I am afraid that does not the video card is a graphics chip of integregrated I guess that means to replace the whole motherboard I guess.

    Yes, I have fear of the motherboard must be replaced in case of malfunction of the graphics card of m.
    It would be the worst cases because the new motherboard is very expensive and in most cases it s not worth buying a new motherboard if isn t valid warranty more.

    I have no many solutions for you; It looks like a hardware problem and to resolve this problem, replace the defective part. But of course, it of a just a question of money :(

  • Installation of Windows on the Satellite C850 - 19(d)

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help me with the following story.

  • Power of the satellite S3000 - X 4 question.

    I got an S3000 - X 4 to look at, and I can't seem to find the problem. (I searched these Forums and Google before this announcement and can't seem to find a result)

    The Machine lights.

    I had the original power supply, Battery, DVD player and memory. If I hit the power button the camera seems to try to start up, the hum of hard drive noise, the led power and HD light turn green (alternating current is already on), happening for about 5 seconds, then it stops everything and let me just with the AC power light.

    I tried to use a different power supply with the same output (voltage and AMPS), and the same thing happens.

    I removed the battery, just on the AC and still the same thing. This too after the DVD-Rom has been removed, and even I remove the memory and he gave a wipe incase it was a bad connection.

    When the battery is connected, I get a flashing Orange (about 1 second for 4 seconds) I guess that's the charge of the battery? Although my Acer laptop, when he is in charge there is static, I don't know if Toshiba shows differently.

    If I just have the battery connected, and no current it won't start at all, so I think the battery is dead, and flashing errors say maybe the battery does not charge, but with him does not not on AC only, it's confusing me.

    The Toshiba worked well at a time, then the next day, they went to turn it on, and it would be not just turn it on. I thought that it could hiberated, but I can't find a button that he brings back from hibernation. (If that is the question)

    Can anyone shed light on this problem, because I want to help my friend before there to make any money on repairs. (Willing repaired at all, after all the prices for laptops are so cheap now, it might be worth buying a new one)

    Kind regards.

    Hi Paul,.

    from your description of the symptoms, I suspect a faulty motherboard. As you say rightly, the laptop must turn on without the battery in place, so I think that can be eliminated as a possible cause.

    Having removed / clean the modules of RAM as well as the optical drive only hard disc and even if it didn't it should still turn on the laptop.

    Kind regards

  • Power on the Satellite X 205 SLI 1 problem

    I have a 3 month old Satellite X 205 SLI 1.

    If I connect the power supply after that I turned on the pc it will not load. It is said: "power plugged in, not charging."
    If I start up the pc and the battery is not completely charged with power plugged it charge the battery to 100% and then start to use the battery until it goes down to 0%. I turn the computer work to restart the load.

    Does anyone have a solution to my problem or do I have to send repair?

    To be honest, this is a really strange behavior. Solution for this? Sorry but what you try to do? You can do nothing. I recommend you contact the service. The guarantee is valid and possible repair will be free.

  • Problem with keyboard on the Satellite C850-F0202.

    Hello

    I need urgent assistance on the keyboard of my C850-F0202.
    Without warning, the keyboard went without object.

    The only bit which seem to be affected are the shortcut keys for brightness(f2-f3), toggle (f12) wireless as well as those of the volume(f9-f10). In addition, the 'NUM LOCK' light during the restart.

    I made several suggestions and recommendations-system restore, uninstall the keyboard driver and reboot system, etc--all without success.
    In one of the occasions where I tried the system restore, I got an error message: critics of the process is dead.
    All attempts to "System Restore" ended without success.

    I am amazed, bar this problem keyboard, everything seems to work very well; start is smooth, no fuss.
    I'm at my wits end, I need more positive assistance.

    Please help, thanks!

    NB: Operating system: windows pro 8.1.

    Hello

    My personal opinion, you should check if this problem could be related to problem internal keyboard or keyboard controller.
    Connect the external USB keyboard and check if it will not work correctly.

    In case the connected USB keyboard will work not correctly, the problem is must be linked to the internal keyboard failure. To solve the problem, you must replace the internal keyboard.

  • No power on the Satellite 1805-S204

    Hello people!

    I have a problem with my Satellite 1805-S204 laptop, it was working fine and then one day it stopped working! It seems that I have no power at all and I was wondering if maybe I could chat with people who know this model and find out why this has happened.

    My 1st question, I want to ask is should this laptop comes on without the battery inside when it is connected to the power outlet?

    Any help would be great!

    Thank you

  • Malfunction of the power on the Satellite Pro 4270

    I have a problem with my AC adapter (model PA3049U-1ACA): my 4270 Pro Satellite ceased to get power and it worked only with the battery. I have this problem only twice in the last 6 months, but the other times, the problem has been resolved just remove and reinsert the plug in the notebook. Instead this time it does not work.
    How will I know if the problem is due to a broken adapter or a faulty connector "DC in"?
    I searched online for a new AC adapter but I found only "compatible" adapters: they are good or if I should get an original?

    There is another problem: yesterday the internal modem no longer works: would it be a consequence of a failure of the power started yesterday?

    [Edited by: admin on 12 February 06 17:24]

    Hello

    Original AC adapter has this part PA2450U number. If the compatible one has the same characteristics and the same connector, there should not be any problem, but I personally prefer original parts. After you have connected the original adapter, you will be able to check whether the slot is maybe defective.

    As far as I know the modem functionality depends on many things (configuration, hardware malfunction) and control first entry in Device Manager. Please report the status of the modem in Device Manager.

    Good bye

    Are you abele to use the USB mouse or the touchpad?

    If Yes, then you should be able get the system back to point in time at the beginning.

    Restart the computer, go to the area of backup and system restore, then select the save point that has been created in the past.

    This restores the system and fix the registry.

    I think the keyboard should work after this procedure.

  • Satellite C850 - 19(d) - problems connecting to internet

    Ive had problems connecting to the internet for the past weeks.
    I used to be able to just open my browser after my phone finished putting in, but now I have to wait because after setting up my connection is limited so I have to wait for it to connect completely.

    When it finishes by the fact that he goes to random then disconnect. It used to take long periods of time, like an hour or something while now it disconnects after 10 to 20 minutes, that drives me crazy.
    The only thing that will fix it restart my laptop.

    I use a single network where I have a fixed IP address, the family use it, but we all different IP addresses so it should not be because of this.

    The other network is open, but it has the same problems.

    Curiously, when I use more than one window, a window or tab could still operate, usually that's my facebook chat. Often this will continue to work, but nothing else. No other tab, or even facebook will update. He'll just ask that there is no internet connection.

    The network will be disconnected and will not reconnect until I restart the laptop. I tried to just disable the wifi for a few minutes, but he does not either. You have to restart.

    As I said, there is a fixed IP address, but because there are 4 other laptops in my house, we all use a different IP address, including smartphones, but nobody else has this problem. What makes me think this is my laptop which has a problem, but I don't know what.

    I need that an operating system can cause problems like this but I don't have my operating system changes, and it's always Windows 8. Can't do updates because I don't have internet for long enough.

    Is there something wrong with my network card, or is there something else?

    > Y at - it something wrong with my network card, or is there something else?

    I assume you mean the wireless connection. Is this right?

    First I would recommend you to check if the same internet connection using the LAN cable.

    Second, you should check if you have the same problem using the laptop with the battery or even computer using the socket.
    I m asking that because in many cases power saving options can affect the connection.

    Last but not least, you should also check if it would be possible to update the WLan driver (in case you use the Wlan connection).
    In many cases the Wlan driver update would solve some compatibility and feature wireless problems.
