• Screen VAIO Pro 13 gradation when power cord plugged

  I just had a problem to occur on my new Pro 13 in Vaio, Windows 8.  The model number for my Vaio is SVP132A1CL.

  The problem I have is that when I plug the power cord into the machine, the screen fades until I can barely see anything.  When I pull the plug out, and the computer returns to the battery power, the display lights up to a normal level.

  I tried to restart my computer several times, and the problem does not go away.

  What should I do?

  Thank you very much.

  Kenton,

  Try this:

  1. open Windows charm and type in 'Power Options' and click on it under "settings".

  2. find the power plan that you are underway and click "change plan settings".

  3. under "Adjusting brightness of plan" adjust until you are desirable under the "battery" and "Plugged in" brightness

• Satellite A200 doesn't stop when the power is connected

  The Satellite A200 just stops, if the power cable is unplugged before you stop. If the laptop off and immediately restarts (max 5 seconds between stop and restart).

  Anyone has the same strange problem?

  Hi Thomas

  You should definitely contact the ASP in your country. It is maybe something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard of s specifications.

  As said John replacement must be done for free because the A200 is a new series and of the guarantee must be valid.

  Good luck

• Satellite A200 - STARTING problems, freezes on the connection of the power adapter

  My 3 YO A200 (PSAF3A-08202D has developed a problem with starting.
  I can start on battery power with WINDOWS VISTA BUSINESS (after 10 attempts, but freezes immediately when the power adapter is plugged in.)
  Display sometimes boots wide-screen, but mostly freezes before windows welcome.

  When running, the battery produces about 1 to 2 hours before a complete evacuation.
  When executing a battery, computer freezes when I plug Charger AC/DC immediately and going with my A100 charger as an alternative.

  Initial problem was a faulty hard drive and super hot air flow due to fluff the cooling block fan.
  Tech replaced original 120G HDD with 500 G and reloaded at the factory. works well for 3 months, then started with the same problems so conclude original disk HARD was just a secondary issue.

  So maybe fixed I overheated components on the motherboard. Reset of data cards initially fixed a problem starting but is gradually degraded.

  Reading through the forums seems that there is a huge amount of these laptops with similar issues. Is this a design flaw, like my other Satellite A100 is solid as a rock. All forums, which suggests resetting the cpu is running slow or be disconnected seem to be temporary repairs. Boot in safe mode and reset the default settings have no effect.

  A suggestion that a capacitor is at fault seems to be the fix is valid but which involves specialized tools is not available locally. Local agent of Harvey Norman for Toshiba are best part of unnecessary because they can send in Australia from Toshiba. Machine has been close to $2000 and is now worth Zip.

  I am unable to do anything with this machine, as all the ways of upgrading or resetting calls for AC power available and running.

  I'm about to do radical things and hope that this forum can enlighten us.

  Hi Mickaël

  You might be right. It seems that the motherboard is affected.
  Don't know why but higher temperature can still affect the internal parts.
  The temperature may increase if cooling fans n t working correctly. For example dust or debris leads to a higher temperature because cooling air cannot circulate properly.

  I have to clean my laptop's cooling grilles from time to time using a jet of compressed air. This allows to keep the temperature at the lower level.
  Of course the internal temperature is not always a reason for portable computers hardware malfunction equipment can begin to malfunction as always in an other products too: TVs, cars, game consoles

  I bought an extended warranty for my laptop, also for my LCD TV mercy always if a high-end product begin to malfunction and in the case of a warranty claim, the fault can be fixed free of charge.

• Satellite A200-1ZF starts not flashing power led

  Hello

  Today, my laptop Satellite A200-1ZF wouldn't start, instead, my power led flashes orange-orange-blue-orange-orange - blue and so on and so forth.
  The HDD led transforms the blues when I turn on the computer and seems to work fine (I hear the normal sound of market from the HARD drive).
  I tried to remove the RAM module to see if there is a fault in one of the modules, no help. I tried removing the battery and it works only on current alternative, also no help.

  Anyone have any idea?

• Satellite A200 screen remains black when you try to start

  Hi all

  My Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer no longer works, then everything started when I was playing a game, all of a sudden the screen turned blue with a tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button for a few seconds to close, because nothing not happening on the computer. Then, I pressed the power button to open it. Everything was fine, until the Welcome screen. In this part, he wrote 'Welcome' but Vista left loading circle of it was not turning.

  After a few seconds, I decided to shut down the computer once again, so I hold the power button for the computer firm. Here's the problem: I tried to re-open it, but the screen remained black. Nothing was happening. The power light is blue, but not all computer activity. So I left it like that a few minutes then it closed and tried again, but it's the same thing. I tried to take it apart and noticed the card two memory was not entirely in its niche. I fixed it, but it does not solve the problem.

  I also tried to plug another screen on it, but this one was also black. So I handed the screen on his computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. He was the starter, but the first problem came, the Welcome screen was frooze it. So yes I close it up and then it's the same thing, the screen remained black.

  I don't think the problem is the screen, because as I said some time it goes to the Welcome screen. Also, I hear no welcome sound when the screen remains black as if the computer would simply not starts. And as I said earlier, I see no activity of the computer on the little light in front of the computer. And to the left of it, I see clearly that the computer is ON, because the power light is blue.

  That is my problem, the next time that the computer is able to start I'll try to boot mode SAFE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.

  Thanks in advance,
  MrRoy

  EDIT:
  After the computer is turned off for about 30 minutes, I started and booted in safe mode. At this stage, I have locked my computer with the close button instead on the power button. Then I opened my computer and he started and the problem was solved. Now my laptop is open and working.

  So, if this happens to you:
  1. turn off your computer.
  2. wait about 30 minutes.
  3. start in safe mode
  4. close using istead of now off button power button closure.

  It should work.

  Finally, it does not work. I don't know why, but my computer did start after 30 minutes, but now it no longer works. Only, it will not start as I said later, with a black screen.

  The computer worked for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start but after running a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart. I made about 3 or 4 times, and then he was simply the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe that it is damaged or something, would it possible?

  Because I see that the processor does not work when I try start it.

  So let's say that this is the case, would it be the symptoms of my computer?
  And if it's the processor, the only way to resolve this is to send it to a repairman or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.

  But now, my computer is simply not starting, as I said in my previous post.

  Thanks in advance,
  MrRoy

  Hello

  If you use SATA drivers then the SATA in the BIOS mode option must be on AHCI.
  If you n t use drivers SATA you will need to set compatible mode.

  Here's a great description how to add SATA drivers

• Satellite A200 - 28 p - question when it starts

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 28 p in October, it's a great laptop, but I always had a problem when it starts.

  Occasionally, and I mean at random without cause, when I turn it on the lights of disk hard flash but it beeps twice and nothing happens.
  I have to turn it off and try again, I found the best way to solve the problem is open and close the lid a couple of times and then try and start the machine. I took it to PC world where I bought it and they were a less useless place, the first time the ' + technician + ' said that he had set and it was losing RAM, when I asked if he had reproduced in fact he he looks some what confused.

  I took his word, even thought that I had done my own research that pointed to a problem of graphic\screen and took it home. Of course the problem reproduced immediately in a day or two, the second time I took it back they suggested because its so casual, that it is and I find no reproducible model, that it would not be worth sending away.

  Can anyone shed light on what could be the cause of this? It doesn't seem to affect the machine somehow when his works actually, checked all the Windows event logs and nothing so its occurring long before that.

  The second question is much easy one of my CTRL keys has broken the key is fine, is there anywhere I can get a replacement Cap? Please do not say PC World!

  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t know why it happened, but to me this looks like a motherboard or RAM problem but I don't know m.
  The RAM, you can check with Memtest86. It s a special diagnostic for the RAM and the freeware tool. Use Google to find out.

  In addition if Memtest86 can t find a problem your laptop should be checked by a technician for laptop. They can determine what the problem is and they also have experience in laptop disassembly.
  And a new keyboard, you can also get to an authorized service provider.

  Sorry, but at the moment I can t tell more.

• Satellite A200-23: noise Anoyed when the speakers are not set to mute - Win7 64 bit

  When I leave the table of sound mixing (_without mute audio on microphone_) there is a noise very disturbing speakers.

  Windows 7-64 bit, that's what I installed in a Toshiba satellite A200 23W and I don't have any other problem except micro that it does not work on SKYPE.

  Sound alone, works very well, as soon as I hear anything * when I muted microphone *!

  Is this all I can do?

  It is not easy to give you an answer. I don't have that kind of problems on my Satellite phone and Skype works perfectly (audio/video).
  Have you tried to play a bit with the sound and the Skype settings?

  You hear the sound in Skype only or how to understand this?
  When you use the headset is this annoying noise still there?

• Satellite L40 - 14N boot question without power cord

  Had this problem for a while, any ideas please?

  My Satellite L40 - 14N sometimes won't start when the power cord is not connected. It starts ok but when I get to the Windows screen drops colored that keep moving from left to right and the machine will not get one more no matter how much time is left.

  This never seems to happen when the power cord is connected and is turned on, it starts very well.

  Hi starmonkey,

  What power lead do you mean exactly? Do you mean the AC/DC adapter?

  To be honest, I also don t know why this happens, but you use pre-installed OS from Toshiba?
  You have installed a different display driver?

  Maybe you should try to reinstall Windows in worst case it s a bad material work :(

• Problems of intermittent wifi with E1 - 510 laptop when power not plugged

  I have the Acer E1-510-4413 model with windows 8.1. 64 bit OS

  When the power cord is connected to the laptop, it works like a charm...

  But when I unplug the power cord, I find that the wifi connection will constantly lose connection to ANY wifi modem that it was connected to little matter if the wifi has been opened or WPA encrypted.

  Very frustrating to say the least when I need Traoré to the power cord on a just full battery charge so that I can have internet connectivity.

  I checked the acer web site and there is no wifi drivers updated so I am at a loss why this is happening.  It always happened ever since I boughtthe portable...

  I found the problem myself...

  Basically, drivers wifi which come pre-installed with windows 8 work very well... but I bought the laptop at the time of version 8.1, and I did the update to 8.0 to 8.1 windows according to needs on my first night to have the brand new laptop.  Tonight, I noticed that the version of the drivers I have for my wifi were slightly older than what is displayed on the download page of the Acer driver for my model.

  So, once I have uninstalled the drivers wifi existing, rebooted, then installed the new drivers and rebooted a second time, my wifi connection was solid...

  not sure why the existing drivers do not work correctly with 8.1, but fortunately the updated drivers are on the Acer download page.

• LaserJet m225dn mfp pro: printer freezes up, power cord wrong or bad grounding?

  Hello.  We have an ongoing problem with this gel printer (backlight on).  I can say that it's okay if it passes in the standby mode.  If after the default, sleep, standby fails, it is always locked and requires a reboot.

  It comes with the power supply cord is too short, and relocation is very difficult.  I have been using two (seem to be very good) of the longer computer power cords.  One is 10' and the other is 12'.

  I tested the ground taken with a multimeter and it revient.2 v, which is not 0, but I think is pretty close.  There are other things on the same circuit.

  Problem is I can not test the normal short cord and easily keep the printer connected to the USB cord and a fax machine.  Would be a 10 or 12' power cord (no UPS online) will be enough to lock up this printer?   Thank you.

  I found the solution myself.  For a longer length, 14-gauge is necessary.  I have this and it seems to fix the problem.  He could have a blockage, but I'm not sure.  Been working normally for more than a week with this 15' cord

• No Satellite A200-27R no response when you press power button / stop

  Hello

  Ive looked all over the internet and has spent weeks trying to understand the problem, but im at a loss.
  I recently replaced a cracked screen on my A200-27R and everything worked fine.

  A few days later, I started the new laptop and nothing has happened and has been the same since.
  The electric blue and the battery turns on but does not respond when you press the power button, not even the fan.

  I checked all the connections inside several times, checked without the battery, etc.
  I'm not sure what to try next, any ideas?

  Thank you

  Can you start cell phone if the battery is removed, with AC power only?

  You know, it's not easy to say what can be the problem.

• Satellite A200 - touchpad random movement when it is connected to the power supply

  Hello
  When connected to power and press the pointer jumps on erratic (only by pressing the key) even if I hold my finger again.

  BUT if I keep in touch with what it is connected to computer laptop 'ground' such as the VGA connector then everything works correctly.

  Also if the laptop is sitting on my lap this also fixes the problem (I have experimented by placing it on a wet towel to simulate the protective effect of my body and it had the same effect, i.e. no pointer to nervousness).

  Finally when executing a stack, there is no problem.

  I tried implementing level and retirement of pilots and all sorts of permutations in the settings so I don't know it's a material thing. Disassemble the system to look at the connections of touch pad but nothing stood out.

  Does this problem familiar to someone or do you have ideas what tests I could do to identify the problem more away?

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro S300L-105 - whistle when power is removed

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro S300L-105, it works normally, except that it produces a hissing light, sharp, witch can be heard when the power is removed. After less than 10 minutes to help, I feel pain in my ears and brain and it becomes unusable.

  I don't have any problem hearing or so. and I've never had such a problem when using any other computer.

  That was it for, and the manufacturer how can for me?

  Hey,.

  Which is really strange. I have never heard of this issue, and this happens only with the disconnected AC adapter?

  Have you installed another 3rd pilot who is not on the page of Toshiba? In particular, I mean the display driver.
  In addition, you should try to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc.

  But I think that in this case, you need professional assistance from an authorized service provider. Technicians can looking for laptop and fix because this should not happen. Moreover, on the Toshiba site, you can search for the nearest authorized service provider.
