Satellite 1900-803 goes out, often during the movement of the screen

Hi all, any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated.

I've had my laptop for at least 5 years and she has been a wonderful servant, despite a few minor problems (fan necessary replacement, battery kaput). Recently, I thought I have rewarded it with a upgrade and I bought 512 MB of RAM. After missing two easy access memory locations, I opened my poor baby upward, practically to dismantle everything.

I was delighted to learn that he worked at a speed of nearly-ideal and seems happy as ever, she was re-Assembly. Once that XP had started I thought would run anti-virus and spyware (to see how fast she could go) and adjusted the angle of the screen that I am comfortable. Disaster struck. She died. Just like that. All the lights went out. No beep, no nothing.

In order to get her started again I had to remove the power cable, plug it in again (seeing how to power lights) and press the power button / stop. I went through this process a few times before a process of elimination has taught me that if I try to set the screen it turns off. I disassembled, reassembled to him. Saw nothing wrong. All his bits were in the right place.

Soon, I came to the conclusion that she would never be the same again. I got simply avoid touching the screen. However, trying to put this post a few minutes ago it off again. This time I'm not sure if it was my typing which has transformed its judgment or if there could be another problem? My hunch is that it is a connection problem.

The only time that that such a thing has happened in the past was when the fan was not working and that the processor overheats it would be closed. The fan now works well.

I could just claim on home insurance, however, it's a good laptop and I owe it to him after so good service to fix him up to my best.

OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSES: It has not currently a working battery, I recently installed 512 MB of ram (although now, I take what it make no difference. Problem remains.

Thank you very much for your suggestions polished!

Pablo

I followed this post and can I just say that I am happy that your machine is to life. Good that there are some users who keep some attention on their babys...

Thanks man :)

  • Cannot find the BIOS for Satellite 1900-803

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba satalite s1900-303 (model number-ps192e-00g1n-en) and I'm not.
    I have somehow locked myself out of the laptop. I used to haver a password to use the laptop. This password is not only for the bios, it is also necessary for the operation of the laptop.

    Somehow the password has changed and that's why I can't use the laptop at all. I contacted toshiba store and theyu said to use a loopback serial cable to fix it somehow and he also mentioned in an attempt to crush the bios with a new.

    I would like to try this, but I can't find the Bios or drivers. I was wondering if someone can help me solve this problem please.

    PS: When regestering on the toshiba site I had to enter the serial number for the laptop.
    The model under my name says 1900-803 when the sticker on the laptop clearly said 1900-803

    Hello

    > I have somehow locked myself on the laptop. I put a password for the laptop. This password is not only for the bios, it is also necessary for the operation of the laptop.

    I think that you have set the BIOS password.
    Unfortunately, the BIOS password can be removed from the laptop if you n t know the old password.
    You can not remove also the BOS password by updating the BIOS. If you would try to update the BIOS while the password is set then the ROM module flashes not properly and you laptop will not boot! It s dangerous!

    Only Toshiba authorised service provider can remove the BIOS password. Ask the technicians!

    PS: You book is a model of Satellite 1900-803 and BIOS, drivers, tools, etc. can be found on the European driver Toshiba page in * file Archive!

    As far as I know Satellite 1900-803 supports Cardbus 32-bit/PC-Card 16 - Bit interface and you can use cards PCMCIA Type II (x 2) or Type III (1 x)
    Before you buy the PCMCIA card to USB you should check if it's compatible with your laptop.
    But I agree with Quad. The PCMCIA card is a good solution to use USB 2.0

  • Satellite 1900-803: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 card does not work

    I have a portable satellite 1900-803. I recently bought and installed a Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Notebook Card, but it does not work. Manual of the card says that after the successful installation, I'd see a second 'USB bus controllers' heading which I did not. I even it was replaced by another one thinking that there could be some problems with the drivers, but it still does not work. whenever I plug in a device such as an mp3 player, a digital camera or a usb storage device, windows locks all of a sudden upward, won't move the cursor, the function ctrl-alt-del does not work and the worst of it, I can't turn off the machine!

    the map shows that it runs on any 32-bit location.

    I have the manual and the Device Manager to see if mine is a 32-bit, but I don't really know. This is probably the reason why it doesn't work? or is there another reason to make it work not? If this is the reason why, is there a way where I can upgrade my laptop's pc card slot to make it work?

    Help, please.

    I posted this question yesterday morning and did not get a single response. is it because it has to do with an older laptop? Please, someone, help...

    Hello

    Have you checked the Bios? I guess that the Bios Toshiba was preinstalled on your laptop. Am I wrong? There should be an option to change the PC Card controller mode.

    Here, you can change the mode of the automatic selection, CCIP compatible controller or card bus/16-bit.
    If the card supports 32-bit so you should use the 16-bit option.

    I think you should play a little with this option and possibly that the card will work.

  • Can external CD-ROM, I use it to restart my PC (Satellite 1900 803)

    I have a Satellite 1900 803, my CD internal Rom cannot read the recovery disk, I think I have an external CD-ROM to use it for my recovery disk. Has anyone tried this before and I have to install a driver. My laptop has a USB port. Appreciate the advice and comments. Thank you

    Hi André,.

    You will find that you will be unable to boot your laptop using a USB attached CD. I have yet to find a usb device which will start successfully.

    I suggest you to check the recovery disc in another computer first to check if the problem is with the CD itself or your existing internal CD.

    Good luck

    I have a 1900-803 satellite. can someone tell me where to look whether its pc card slot is a 32-bit or otherwise?

    Hello

    I think that information that you might find in the manual of Toshiba which must be preinstalled on the laptop.
    On my laptop, I found manual and there is lots of useful information about my unit.
    But as far as I know this laptop supports 32-bit/PC-Card 16-Bit interface Cardbus and PCMCIA Type II (x 2) or Type III (1 x)

    Additional information:
    In the BIOS, it should be possible to change the settings of PC card.

  • Satellite 1900-803 runs on battery only

    My 1900-803 satellite only works on battery PWR. When AC pwr device connected, correct lights and AC power icon appears in the systray. But system turns off automatically when the battery goes down. Air conditioning unit seems to be ok and charge the battery as well as to show good indicators when connected to the led system.

    The good people of suggestions? :)

    see you soon
    Ally

    Hello Ally

    In my opinion there must be some problem with electronic power which controls the supply. The strange thing is that the battery can discharge while the unit is connected to the power running.

    In my opinion, you should also check power management settings. Is it possible that disable HDD is set to low balance time?

  • Advice on which new battery for Satellite 1900-803

    Hi all

    I am looking for a spare battery for my 1900-803 Satellite. The battery is PA3166U-1BRS, and when I get on a popular auction site I get a number of different opt, Li - ion:

    1:14, 8V
    Capacity: 6600mAh
    2: 14.80V
    Capacity: 6000mAh
    3: 14.80V
    Capacity: 5850mAh
    4:14, 8V
    Capacity: 4300mAh

    So who is the most appropriate? As I understand it, they are all compatible. I suppose that more 'mAh' best, is that correct? Price is not a problem, just performance!

    Thank you all very much!

    Pablo

    JohnnyS if you're out there you could make it three out of three for me!

    The battery that provides a higher mAh value is much better, because the performance is stronger and you can run much longer Notepad using these batteries.

    This is why I advise you to buy a battery that supports a capacity 6600mAh

  • HP w2007 screen flashes and goes out often.

    The computer monitor screen flashes for a second at a time, and frequently.  I have run a check of virus with no viruses found.  I had changed the time of idle mode on the screen saver in the last months, so I'm wondering also if who burned some of the capabilities of the screen.  The monitor IS NOT turn off, it just blinks quickly at various intervals.

    The information provided, we conclude that there could be a problem with the screen itself. Try contacting HP support for further assistance.

  • Satellite C660D-102 blocks when past to the screen saver

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660D-102 of Windows 7 OS. Basically, if my computer is left unattended, and goes to the screen saver, it freezes and has to be restarted by holding down the power button. If I'm listening to the music, makes a loud noise when it does this until it is turned off.

    Anyone has any ideas of what could be the cause?
    Thanks, Matt

    + The message was edited: changed name of the laptop.

    Hi Matt

    To be honest, this laptop T series is unclear to me. What is the correct model name or model number?
    Are you using the original pre-installed OS?
    Have you noticed this problem since the day where we?
    Do you use the standard Windows screensaver?
    Did you install additional software that is running in the background?

    Sorry for these questions but it is not easy to give you simple answer and specifies what may be the problem.
