Re: Satellite A30 - battery starts to unload if the power is connected

Hi all

My Toshiba laptop Satellite A30-871 began to discharge the battery while the power is connected (the LED shows that AC is connected but laptop consumes the battery power instead of loading battery and the use of current alternative). When the laptop achieved 0% battery turns off. Remove the power plug and reconnect do not resolve the problem, while the computer is turned on, only computer shutdown will begin the battery takes over. Which means that I can use portable so that battery retains some powers. Sometimes, when the laptop is turned off and the battery is charging, battery charging LED starts to blink and I have to remove the power plug and plug back.

I don "t think it's a bad power connector because the witness indicates the power is connected.

I wonder if anyone has a solution for me.

Kind regards
Nova

Hello

Just a question; does the laptop functions and using only the AC adapter (without the battery)?

If Yes, then I guess that the problem might be related to battery failure.
Maybe a new battery could solve this problem, but as you know this is just a suggestion

  • Satellite L755-M1CU restarts as soon as the power supply connected

    I have an old L755 of 3 years.
    4 months, one day, the laptop just completely turns off and restarts as if nothing had happened.

    I was puzzled, but I thought that I must have accidentally hit a button that caused his restart.
    As the days have begun to spend to buy, the number of reboots has started up.

    At first it would occur once a week, then twice, until 2 months ago, when it started to happen almost every 5 or 6 hours, I used the computer. Initially, I thought that this was due to the death of laptop battery.

    So I got rid of it and started using it only on the sector without the battery shows but found that it was not feasible since there are frequent power outages in my area.

    Then I go back to work on the laptop with a trendy new inserted battery and ac, but the frequency of reboots continued until it was happening every 15 minutes.

    So I tried to boot into safe mode and everything works absolutely fine. Zero restart little matter how many time I use it. Since last week, I can no longer turn on windows normally with the power source is connected. Windows works fine if I'm on battery only.

    Even when windows is running on battery, as soon as I plug in the charger, the phone restarts. What could be the reason?

    I did some research online and found that some models of satellite have a defective capacitor installed called the NEC/Catherine causing similar problems.

    Thanks in advance guys.
    All reviews are much appreciated

    These issues are still problematic, and they should be considered. For me, this looks like electronic power supply.
    It could be that electronic power make certain thresholds for some reason any.
    To be honest, I can't imagine that you can do something. All you can do is check the usual stuff like RAM, HARD or OS disc, but it will not help you issue described.

    If everything works OK with battery power, it would be interesting to test it with the new adapter.
    It's really not easy to say what the problem is here.

    Try to contact Toshiba service nearest, to explain the situation and ask for help.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - cursor is random if the power is connected

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 running Vista Business and my synaptic touchpad cursor started becoming erratic and cannot be controlled normally.

    It is hard to move and it will open programs and the internet, etc. This happens every time power outlet is plugged but normally works on battery. I ran Malwarebytes and AVG 8 scans, but they come without any problem. I restarted mode safe (after a forced closed down) and the problem has always existed.

    Can someone throw some advice on this problem?

    Strange. I never heard a question also and now I can t say what is the reason for this, but I hope that I can help you identify the reason.

    It would be interesting to know if you have the same problem with an external mouse. You can check this please?
    You use the original from Toshiba AC adapter or another?

    Perhaps the problem can be solved if you update the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite A30 554: start and stop the question automatically

    After about a year of use my computer laptop (Satellite A30 554) started having problems with the starter. Quite often when I turn it on cooler starts working and the LEDs are showing that the computer is on, but the screen remains black. Sometimes, I need to turn off the PC and on a couple of times so that he can start to begin. What is the reason for this and can it be resolved?

    Once I had a problem with this computer off by itself while working, which was not caused by a virus. Some people advised me to vacuum clean :) under cooler. I did and it helped.

    The problem was supposed to be linked to the dust on the heatsink, which does not allow that it works correctly. The current problem also connectable to the cooler, or is - it a motherboard problem?

    Hello

    Generally speaking, if it starts and does even not initializing the monitor, or starts and turns off immediately, it could be the motherboard. It helps to remove each device at a time and try to start the computer. Sometimes when the parts become defective they still affect the ability to start. If, after removing all devices, that the problem persists, then your motherboard is faulty and must be replaced. Hope that fix you the problem.

  • Satellite A30 battery

    My cell A30 began randamly drain on the battery while the power is connected. When the laptop achieved 0% battery turns off. The front indicators indicate that the power outlet is plugged. Remove the power plug and reconnect do not solve the problem, just restart or hibernation starts charging the battery.

    I removed the Toshiba power management utility, and the same problem occurs with the Microsoft of the power utility. I tried to reinstall the latest Toshiba power management still no resolution.

    I don't think it's a bad power connector because the witness indicates the power is connected. Has anyone else seen this or is it a symptom of the battery needing replacement (portable under 18 months)?

    Hi Andy,.

    My SA30 does exactly the same thing. The AC LED stays on throughout as the LED, but the battery LED will turn off. The system will show as running on batteries which gradually offload (even though the power LED is still) and finally the book Hibernate.

    By trial and error, I found how to trigger this behavior. I just need to apply slight pressure on the side of the DC Jack at the back of the laptop and all the front LED flashes during a fraction of a second and then they all turned off except the ONE and the LEDs of the AC.

    I think that the problem is a momentary loss of contact between the inside of the plug CC and the central axis into the Jack located on the back of the laptop. This would explain why the used problem occurs when I moved the laptop or the power cable.

    I have now anchor the DC cable to the back of the laptop to prevent any lateral movement of the plug CC and so far that the problem is not returned even if I pick up and move the laptop.

  • Satellite A200 23W stop seconds after pressing the power button / stop

    Hello all :)

    I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 23W a few hours ago.
    I turn it on and let it complete the installation of Vista.

    After the installation of Vista finishing it asket to resturn laptop and from that moment, the laptop is "dead".
    After pressing on restart the computer (from Vista) computer turns off without problem, but he never did it again!
    After a few minutes of waiting, I tried to start it by pressing the power button.

    Now when I press the power button, I can hear the HDD work and most of the time until I see something on the screen of the laptop computer stops!
    Now, I noticed that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN light are hot flushing and stop Flash at times.
    Reading the manual, I guess that the DC IN indicator should Flash in all not well.

    I tried to uninstall the battery and try to start the laptop, but in this case I can't even listen to the HDD, commissioning!
    I try to unplag and replag (on the laptop as well as Jack) power cable but again no result.

    Any ideas of what past?
    Thank you very much

    I don't know what the problem is here and, in my view, should not be so important to you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and to talk with him. Explain the situation. You will get may be new notebook. Otherwise, please contact the nearest authorized maintainer and let check your laptop.

    The laptop is brand new and it should work. Please do not wait too long.

  • Satellite A30 - battery discharges when connected to the network

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me!
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A30. He has recently started to discharge the battery when it is connected to and running off, the sector. If the screen icon shows current alternative (mode full power), but the % of the battery decreases by 5% per minute.

    The battery on the laptop light is off. If I turned off the pc, the light will go orange, load. When I restart, it stays orange for a few seconds, then turns off again.

    Is this a problem with the battery or load main, or something else? Please help, this is driving me crazy, that I keep having to turn it off to recharge!

    Thank you very much

    I think battery is responsible for this. Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, so I guess the battery is the best.
    Remove the battery and check the label of the battery. You will find the exact reference. using this part number, you can order new battery for your laptop satellite.

  • Satellite A30 161 does not work when the battery is installed

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite A30-161. The laptop works perfectly without the battery installed. With the battery installed and the AC adapter plugged the power supply and battery (light orange) are turned on.

    When turn on/off, as soon as WXP loaded the battery light turns off and the laptop turns off. With battery only laptop does not start. There is no dirt on the heat sink and it doesn't seem to be a problem with the connector DC and power lights still on.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    This behavior is not easy to give an accurate diagnosis, but according to your description, I assume that there is a problem of electronic power supply. Just using special diagnostic tool, it is possible to check if there is a problem serious.

    To be honest, I don't think you can do it alone. The only thing you can try is to test it with new battery. Maybe you should contact the service authorized in your country. talk with them and you will see what they say.

    Usually, a common driver installation procedure should get the modem to life.
    The installation is very easy. Most of the time you must only start the installation file, but you can also try to install the driver from the Device Manager.
    There is also an option to roll back the driver. That you can use if you have installed a modem not compatible or bad driver.

  • Satellite A30 PSA30E - BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite A30 (PSA30E) and I start the computer. When I enter the BIOS it does not recognize the hard drive.
    Does anyone no what I can do?
    Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

    Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

    Please provide more info. You see error messages?

  • Satellite A30 - where and how to order the recovery disk

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 range and I'm about to install a new hard drive but I don't have the original recovery disk. I told myself I can are no longer met this Toshiba directly so I wonder if someone can direct me looking for a replacement of original or copy.

    I Googled it but it is difficult to sift through to find the exact one I'm looking for.

    Thank you

    Hmm. I thought you can order the recovery CD Toshiba of the ASP in your country but if the series of laptop it is too old it would not be possible.

    However, you can also install the Windows operating system by using the Microsoft CD and then you could install the driver of Toshiba of the Toshiba driver page.
    XP driver should be placed in the box ARCHVE.

  • Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

    Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
    I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

    I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

    This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

    Hello

    It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
    Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
    Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.

  • Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

    In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
    Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

    What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

    When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

    When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
    The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.
