Re: Equium A300D - 16 c died

I've had this laptop for almost two years. But this morning it's just not coming back to life, and I don't know why.

The battery life has been dismal in recent months, were able to get about 20 minutes on a full charge before running costs.

However, no other than the problem. I turned on this morning and checked the emails and other things, and the battery low icon began to glow and the small pop up on the screen appears, so I got my AC adapter and plugged in, but he refused to load up. I did my normal as controls, I turned on the power outlet?

Check that the cable is properly connected. All the normal things, but he refused to load up.
So, I turned off the computer laptop, unplugged, plugged again, but now it won't turn.

The battery symbol flashes a red orange for a few seconds and that's it.

I rang my buddy for help, but he has a clue. Do I need a new battery?
Do I need a new track? Or would it be the laptop?

Help, please!

Thank you very much

Hello

According to you the message, the battery power is low and cannot charge the battery.
Hmm, I think that the problem might be related to faulty adapter.

No power light on IT if the AC adapter is plugged?
Otherwise it means that this laptop gets power to AC adapter
In this case, the adapter must be checked and possibly replaced.

If the adapter is OK, but the laptop still doesn't receive the power, then it must be something wrong with electronic power to the motherboard.

In such cases, it s a hardware problem that can be fixed only by the technician for laptop.

  • Battery Equium A300D - 16 c died

    I bought this laptop about 3 years ago and the battery died recently. I tried to replace it with a battery Toshiba not fitted with the part number. This battery does not work.

    When I put the game in and it rebooted the laptop would make mention of the fact that there is no battery and the battery light would flash.

    However when I unplugged the laptop would run off the battery voltage but the laptop still say that there is no.
    I assumed that this battery was defective if returned and bought a Toshiba battery which is manufactured by Toshiba and the same battery as my old man.
    It is the same part number as my old battery challenge, but he has the same problem as the previous battery.

    I've updated the system BIOS when I bought the first laptop battery so I don't think that.
    I also downloaded another program for battery drive called "Battery maintenance", but he also says that the battery does not exist even when I unplug and run the laptop off the battery said.

    The original battery supplied with the laptop to purchase is yet recognized but keeps only fees for about 15 minutes due to age.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I let the laptop connected to the power adapter with the purchased new battery any longer. Leave it connected a throughout the night and then recheck if the battery is charged.
    You must also set the BIOS to values by default while the new battery is connected.

    Finally and above all I advise you to buy the battery directly from Toshiba ASP in your country. In this case, you can be sure that you would get from the original parts that are 100% compatible with the portable 100%

  • New battery is not detected on Equium A300D - 16 c

    Hello

    This is my first post on the site. I have a problem with a new battery on my Equium A300D - 16 c. (no battery detected)
    The original I got the computer died after two years of use, so I had to order a new one to replace. I received and he himself works very well, giving me a charge of 90 minutes. But the problem is that it isn't detected by the computer when I click on the power icon on the bottom bar of the screen, so I know how much time I have left with him. In addition, the orange light which indicates that the charge should go white whether full cost, mine just started orange flashing after awhile (what is when it is fully charged?).
    I got power to my computer a few minutes ago and he cut and I had to turn it back on, despite the battery in and it is complete free (as it has been in all day and the sector is since in periods of decent length).

    What can I do to fix this?
    Note that I'm not too good with computers, so anything can be better explain really, really just that I'm not the most skilled when it comes in this region.

    Thank you

  • Equium A300D - maybe my HARD drive is dead

    I bought my Equium A300D (I think it's the correct model anyway) of PC World in the year September last after the death of my old laptop on me (fried hard drive because of the processor cooling fan break).

    The old laptop, has produced some sounds strange whirring/screeching sometimes for a few months, but I'd rather foolishly ignored it thinking it was just a fan who wasn't quite to the right or something - in hindsight to make a good decision!

    My Equium was fine until I turned on this morning and found that he formulated the horrible familiar screeching/whirring sound and I turned off again pretty quickly.

    The screeching kicked almost immediately after, I had it working. Three times I tried to turn on the back, with the same result, and it's understandable, I am very worried about it and did not want to take the risk of leaving that he turned on for fear of causing more damage.

    Sick computers are never good news in the best of cases, but not at the moment that I went through a lengthy form filling and complex that I have loan on Wednesday. I'm completely it on a pdf version recordable of the form that took me three weeks to finish where I had got up to last night, and even if I use an online backup service, I can not restore files to a different computer without overwriting what is already there, so I'm a little panic. (Also, my Equium has a Vista OS, and my office, I'm currently is still on XP).

    Three questions:
    (1) makes a whirring/squeal noise as soon as it is lighted sound it could be another hard drive dying?
    (2) would be to take it to my local independent computer store (which tend to be able to make minor repairs and put new disks while you wait) rather than PC World voiding the warranty?

    I'm not sure what to do for the best, like whatever I do I need to do it quickly, because I have not long until I have to complete this form (and even if I have the online backup, rather stupidly I don't have an external backup of it), and even if I can get the fixed satellite quickly if it's the hard drive , it takes a number of days to download and restore online backup files, which is sometimes I have at the moment.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    > 1) makes a whirring/squeal noise as soon as it is lighted sound it could be another dead hard drive?
    It's not impossible My HDD makes a completely dead before it too strange noise.
    It was a good idea that you have backup your data. In this case you could always recover the data if the HARD drive would really die.

    (> 2) take to my local independent computer store (which tend to be able to make minor repairs and put new disks while you wait) rather than PC World would invalidate the warranty?
    If you want to get the HARD drive replaced and want to use the warranty, then you should contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country.
    Qualified service technician can replace the defective hardware, a free game.

  • My Equium A300D freezes at BIOS

    Someone help with this one?

    My Equium A300d froze in the Bios boot screen. Finally, I have replaced the ram and hard drive but still the same problem. By trial and error I discovered that the problem was the dvd drive... Remove the system and it loads well, put in place in and from the gel to the bios!

    I replaced the dvd drive wiith a new compatible drive but same result so assume the real hardware is not the problem then can only assume a motherboard problem?

    Has anyone encountered this scenario? Thanks for the research.

    It's really strange question. What version of BIOS is on your computer?

    If I understand you well without ODD your laptop starts properly and preinstalled operating system can be loaded.

    Have you tried to implement ODD when Windows is fully charged?

  • Equium A300D - 16 c - display does not

    My girlfriend has an Equium A300D - 16 c which had some problems lately.

    In recent months, whenever she turns on the system, the display does not pull upwards and it takes several tent for lights.

    The strange thing is every time that happens, the system boots normally always that you can hear the Windows 7 startup sound.

    I'm looking for in this question for some time now and I'm running out of ideas.
    Initially, I thought that it could be a wiring problem but by stripping the laptop down, I found that the cable was still firmly in place.

    I also tried to remove the RAM, HARD drive and DVD drive, but it still doesn't pull upward. On the odd occasion she started upward when you do it, but after restart, it has not started again.

    I think that this could be either a transmitting power or the mother board is on its way. This problem has worsened gradually (it took more than 20 attempts it turn on and off this morning) so finally he come not at all.

    To clarify, the system will start after several attempts, but most of the time that the screen not turn on (not even the backlight). It works with an external display on the HDMI so the GPU works.
    I tried to keep the power with no energy source button to unload the system, but it does not help.

    I also noticed that if you hear it boot and close the cover, the reopening of the display lid will come on but with the bad (1024 x 768) resolution that has intrigued me even more.

    Any ideas on what could be the problem? I would repair it rather than just buying a new as its still a decent system apart from this problem.

    > To clarify, the system will start after several attempts, but most of the time that the screen not turn on (not even the backlight). It works with an external display on the HDMI so the GPU works.

    This means that you can use the laptop as part of the external screen, but it does not work with the internal screen?

    This means that the internal display module isn't OK. It probably needs to be replaced.
    But this does not explain the problems while turning on the laptop.

    In the worst case the mother for laptop AND the internal screen are affected, but it would be really strange and rare bad luck

  • Re: Equium A300D - 13 X - boot problem

    Hello

    I can't initialize problem. Powers of phone on ok, with a few flashes of HARD drive as it tries to start. But no sounds other than the kick, fans have tried all the usual things like FN/F8 to enter safe mode, also cold start battery and network opens. Power button down for an all black screen minute etc etc, but still no screen or emits a signal. I suspect a power supply problem and have tried with different loader but no effect. Laptop is a 4 year old Toshiba Equium A300D - 13 X everything worked fine but I recently renewed keyboard, screen bezel, Mo media Ribbon, power/Ribbon button, Mo.

    I thought I might have left some cable detached so all reopened and checked, but everything is correctly fixed I think.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Bob.

    Hello Bob

    It is not easy to be objective with this problem. On one side you have disassembled your laptop on your own and we don t know if everything was done correctly. I m also not technician and each laptop disassembly has been a success.

    I put t really know what to say. Try to talk with someone who can help you with this and check if everything is OK. Small error as causing electrical circuit can damage the electrical components of the motherboard. Try to check the display cable connection.

    Have you tried to connect the laptop to the TV and check if all come to this?

  • Windows installation interrupted as Equium A300D stops itself

    Hi all

    I've had my Toshiba Equium A300D for 2 years now. Meanwhile, it works normally, sometimes stops himself maye because it was too hot.

    Recently, he tried to install updates to Windows Update, but never successful. I left the computer to update all night and there was 2 of 12 updates... all the time so I always had to shut down the computer by pressing the power button.

    I was unable to change the setting to update Windows automatically, because every time I tried to do it froze. Most of the other commands became even viewing photos that do not meet.

    It was until my computer could not connect to a certain wireless network, while other devices may I decided to reinstall Windows completely. He was installing normally but it got too hot and the computer closes again!

    I tried to install again and he was arrested again, but I got up in the final phase of the game when I turned it on again, it was always 'finihing the installation may take several minutes. lease do not interrupt or shut down the computer. Let him over several hours, but he did not move to a different stage. Before the computer shuts down, I think I arrived at the scene after that.

    I tried to press F8 to start a new installation, but he's only got in this screen.

    What can I do?

    Please help me! Thank you very much in advance!

    I am in Germany at the moment, but I live and I bought this computer from the United Kingdom.

  • Equium A300D-13 x - No battery is detected

    Hello

    Recently, I thought it would be time for me to buy a new laptop for my Toshiba Equium A300D-13 x from the current battery is so old, I get about 5-7 minutes to load off of him.

    So I looked online and shopped and the official Toshiba who were £140!, to remedy that I opted for a replacement which was about £20 (cheap).

    Anyway, the battery is the same exact battery toshiba model number official I have and that is the exact same voltage 10.8V. However the battery is not detected in the laptop?

    What is interesting is that the battery powers the laptop he just doesn't tell me how many remaining charge, I left. Also when it is plugged to the AC does not detect, it looks as if he is in charge the laptop as the clear meaning that the AC is plugged is on, and the battery indicator orange (charging)

    All I have this problem or know what I can do to fix this, as I don't have 140 pounds sterling to buy a new battery.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Have you had the same battery problems with the old, original battery?

    In my experience there are a several batteries 3 third-party but not all meet the standards even if the part number is the same

    But it seems that the battery is detected because the laptop can be powered on using the orange battery indicator battery energy you also show that the battery would be charged.

    However, I would recommend checking the version of the BIOS.
    My knowledge BIOS update might help to solve the problems with the battery.

    If it doesn't help you, I'd recommend testing other batteries that you can order directly from an ASP Toshiba in your country in this case you can be sure that your battery is compatible and works 100%.

  • Equium A300D - 13 X - Configration system data read error

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Equium A300D - 13 X laptop, everytime I turn on my laptop it starts and loads the initial startup screen as usual, Toshiba once asked that loud "BEEP" comes from my laptop, and lists the following information:

    I replaced the hard drive and flashed the BIOS settings as advised by Toshiba Helpline but the problem persists.

    Help, please! because the "BEEP" is now getting on my nerves!

    See you soon

    Hi andrew_net82,

    It seems that the BIOS has detected an error with a certain part of material...

    Before doing something I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS. If you are in the BIOS Setup, press the F9 key.

    If it doesn t work you need for professional assistance from an authorized service I think. Guys need to check which part of the material is defective and must be replaced.
    List of the ASP, you can find on the official website of Toshiba.

  • Equium A300D - 16 c. do not start after his stop.

    Please, it is a problem that I seem to not understand. I used my laptop Equium A300d - 16 c with no problems for over a year until last night. I was installing a software (nokia PC suite) that you are prompted to restart the computer. the closure was normal and so he could restart, was a problem. It displays nothing but a screen empty. It is obvious it does not start as when I press the power button it goes immediately. Only the power led is on. Another thing I notice is that the DVD-ROM reads any disk placed inside, but there is no display of any kind.

    My first reaction was that it may be overheating, so I cleaned the vents and amazed the dust of all compartments. but the problem still persists. Please, I want to know what may be the problem before you take it for repairs. Need help. Thank you.

    Hello

    My computer laptop girls has stopped working. I can't seem to repair/restore or anything. He always keesp to return to 'No operating system found' so what I need to know is what download anyone advise would be more appropriate for me to re install to laptop?

    The laptop is a Toshiba Equium A300D-13 X. It was running with Vista that was on it when buying 3 years ago but now no OS found.

    I hope you can help as tried all other options via F8, F12, F2 etc. don't keep a copy of the recovery disc either and only came with a recovery disk directly.

    Hi helen22,

    First of all, you should check if the HARD drive is always recognized correctly. That's why look in the BIOS (F2) Setup and make sure that it s listed there.

    If the HARD drive is recognized that you need to reinstall Windows. So you need the disk recovery Toshiba you had to create it yourself and that's the reason why the laptop didn't come with a recovery disk because you will have to do it yourself.

    In any case, now it s too late, but you can order a new disc here:
