Power XDVD intermittent satellite 4090 problems

I just purchase a Toshiba Satellite 4090XDVD and find an intermittent power on the problem.
Use adapter + battery (partly charged) the first power to the ends in 2 seconds - no Toshiba logo/message on screen, no disk activity after his initial whining for 1-2 seconds. Power on and then turn on again everything happens normally.

System looks good - no boot errors or messages and the date and time are not correct - so no indication of a problem of cmos.
Sometimes I have to market twice as much power. After the system powers on normally, it will continue to do so-if I leave for a few hours or a day, the problem reoccur. Using the AC adapter and remove the battery, ignition problem is worse - a 4-5 power downs / restarts before it starts.
When the problem occurs, the LCD screen is blank - no logo Toshiba etc and I heard 1-2 seconds of activity - shrill drive etc - then nothing.

The AC and LED right next to her are on.
No other LEDS are on (unless the battery installed and get orange solid leads) sometimes turn off refuses and I hear 1 long beep followed by 29 short beeps.
Yet, once it powers up that will continue to power upward normally until I have let rest for a while.

My documentation shows two batteries on a board inside - cmos and RTC I believe - but I hesitate to dismantle the pc and replace because I see not all the symptoms that they are the problem (no error cmos, no problem of time).

I know that its an old PC, but I just use it as a second computer for small jobs and it is awesome. Anyone had a similar experience or ideas? Your comments will be appreciated!

Hello

In my view humble and honest, this looks like a motherboard problem.
I think that no one would be able to tell what part on the motherboard could be affected, but what you could do is check RAM.

In many cases the failure of RAM can cause issues too
Check the RAM may be worth a try

So as you can see, a lot of suggestions, but that's all

  • Power supply with Satellite M30x problem

    When I connect my Satellite M30X in power, he sometimes shows the power light and the battery light. It can then be turned on and will start and run.
    Most of the time the power light blinks and the battery light stay out: it will not illuminate.

    When it turns on, it will work for a period of a minute or two till about 4 hours and stops randomly.
    Now the led starts flashing and continues to Flash while it is powered.

    There must be some problem with electronic control gear. Strange is that this problem occurs from time to time.
    Sorry, but if you want to get rid of it you must contact Toshiba service and let check your laptop.

    To be honest, it can happen that
    Entire motherboard must be exchanged, and it can be quite expensive. Might be time for the new laptop computer. Satellite M30 is really old.

    What do you think of all this?

    I replaced the fuse, the works.

    Any suggestions appreciated as now completely empty battery and laptop useless.

  • Replacement of hard training for Satellite 4090 XCDT

    I have a Satellite 4090 XCDT, who needs a new hard drive, I'll try to find out if the computer/laptop BIOS can support a 20 GB hard drive (Toshiba Mk-2018GAS), can someone help me?

    Also until the size will it bear?

    Hi Steve

    I can't give you specific information about 20 GB of HARD drive, but I know that 8 GB of HARD drive will be recognized by the BIOS and it will not work properly. One of my friends has 4100XCDT and it works with 20 GB HARD drive with no problems.

    My opinion is that you should take some information from partners of service or Google around and I'm sure you can find HARD drive provider that can give you good information. I know that it is possible to built in the HARD drives to high capacity for older machines, but how exactly I can not explain.

    I had tested machine because he kept closing and the technician said there was nothing wrong with the fan etc. so you have to order that next, I'll try, but what is the right part?

    For your Satellite A30 you need AC adapter 100-240V AC 50 - 60 Hz 120W with DC output 19V with PA3290U-1ACA part number.

    I've seen a lot on ebay, but they don't say what model they are intended.

    1. remove all cables.
    2 lower the cell next door.
    3. the HARD drive compartment on the side front right / laptop
    4. remove the 2 screws of the HDD bay cover and remove the cover.
    5 remove the 1 screw that secures the HARD drive in place.
    6. gently slide the HARD drive out of the compartment.
    7. slide the new hard drive into the hard drive compartment and replace the 1 screws to secure the HARD drive.
    8 replace the Bay covers and 2 step 4 HARD drive screws.

    It might be better to get an external hard drive possible hard drives only I could find for this model were only 6.4 GB so you will not be able to upgrade to a larger h/d coz your laptop do not recognize, all if someone else might be able to answer this question better than me Good luck

    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?

  • 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

    Hello

    > 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • Power on Satellite P100 problems

    Hello

    I just had my second adapter percent machine and it sounds like a common fault with this model (P100-286). Is it possible to change the power supply of a 4 pins that I have now to single round pin that seems more robust that I have a second laptop, but not a Toshiba.

    My adapter is a 15V 8A and I know that you can buy a replacement with single pin socket, but y at - it a plug power jack compatible with this machine, I can use. If you can offer a model number or a link. Is there anyone who has had the same problem and changed the Jack and is successful.

    I also watched the power plug in my machine and it's a 2 red and 2 black wired connection that plugs into the mobo.

    No you cannot convert in a single dose, because you need 4 pins for 8 amps requires that the laptop.

    Single pin adapters are only 5 or 6 amps.

    Are you raising the laptop from the front when the adapter is plugged? This will put a lot of effort on the plug of the adapter and damage it.

    Any ideas on whats wrong?

    Hello

    I put t know exactly what's wrong, but I remember these problems might appear if the drivers, tools, and utilities are installed in the correct order.
    The installation instructions document is no doubt placed on the page of the Toshiba driver.
    I recommend that you check these documents

    But why you don t use the Toshiba Recovery CD. This CD allows you to install the operating system with all the necessary tools and drivers much faster and easier.
