Satellite 5200 - powers automatically (sensor/hall-magnet)

I have an automatic feeding weird issue with my laptop Satellite 5200.

* Situation. *
1 laptop is turned off and the cover is open
2. I close the lid while the laptop is always off (just battery is connected)
3 result: the laptop automatically and boots: how weird is it that

It has something to do with the magnet that is integrated in the screen/lid place/located near the right hinge. When you close the magnet is close sensor (hall sensor) and apparently, this magnetic field causes the cell to initialize. Normally, if your laptop is running and you close the lid of your laptop computer goes into mode sleep with this technology (magnet and sensor). My laptop works well if she runs and I close the lid. Then it goes on standby as expected. When I opened the lid he returned from sleep mode.

The issue I am facing now is really just when I close the lid, * while the laptop is turned off already *.
How do I fix this behavior stupid - how to adjust the magnet/sensor so it has not received the impulse to automatically feed upward.
The solution must be around here somewhere. And I don't think it's a software configuration problem, because the laptop is turned off when this occurs - so no Windows is running, it is not in standby or hibernation mode.

Your help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much for your advice!

Hello

If he s really a lid switch problem then it would mean that there is a mechanical problem that could be solved by a service partner
But I think that this is not a sensor problem possibly display frame/cover touch the power button (that's my opinion) and that feeds on the new laptop

Just a question; What is cable LAN connected to the laptop when the laptop automatically?
If Yes, then I would recommend checking the BIOS if the Wake up on LAN option could be disabled
In many cases, it would lead to the reactivation of the laptop

  • Satellite 5200: Question on TouchPad scroll function

    My Satellite 5200 Series has a scroll wheel PHYSICS to the title of the two touchpad buttons 'the mouse'. I found a useful feature heavily but cannot find all the current models that have preserved it.

    It was rejected?

    Is there another way to scroll with newer machines?

    I would rather not add an external mouse because it blocks a precious USB port AND I actually use my laptop outside on my KNEES.

    Hi Tatterdemalion,

    Most modern laptops using a touch pad have a scrolling function software (which can be disabled if you wish) to control automatic scrolling. This is very useful for navigation text in Word documents or web pages etc., the technique (when enabled) is to set the top left or right of the touchpad to 'activate' and by touching this area temporarily, it will change the pointer of the foam to indicate the auto scroll option. Then only, drag the pointer slightly down and the screen starts to scroll until you tap the key again.

    A manual scroll mechanism is also available and can be used simply by stroking the right side of the touchpad (down to scroll down and up to scroll to the top) and the bottom of the touchpad to scroll left and right.

    I find these features useful, but I know other people who find them extremely irritating. It is useful to check.

    Kind regards

  • Question on the LCD Inverter for Satellite 5200-902

    Hello!

    I would like you (if possible) to inform me about the voltage characteristics of input/output of the inverter LCD to my laptop computer Satellite 5200-902.
    I need to check if the backlight bulb is powered correctly, because there is no backlight.

    Parts of my ups codes/numbers are:
    G71C00011121
    HBL-0284
    K1278365
    which seems to me meet the Toshiba part numbers P000354880. Please inform me concerning my inverter Toshiba part number, I found on the internet also the P000439470, with code G71C00011221, which is supposed to be the replacement of the P000354880 (G71C00011121).
    I also found the G71C00011121 but with different codes concerning the HBL-xxxx and 12xxxxx. Is this a problem or are all compatible with my laptop LCD G71C00011121 (SHARP LQ150U1LA03 P000374340)

    So, could you give me the following information:
    1. the characteristics of voltage input/output of the inverter LCD (HBL-0284, G71C00011121, K1278365)
    2. If the P000354880 is the part number for my ups.
    3. If the P000439470 has replaced the P000354880 and has an identical output.
    4. If the codes HBL-xxxx and? Â? 12xxxxx G71C00011121 of significance in the case where I have to replace my inverter.

    Thanks in advance for your help and for your time!

    Hello Andrew

    I'm really interested if anyone here can give you the info. Don't forget this is the forum of users and if you wait until the Info for Toshiba technicians you can wait a long time.
    It will be better for you to contact the service authorized in your country. If anyone has this info and access to the database of Toshiba need Toshiba service.

    Bye and good luck!

    Nice to hear that! :)

    > But I still can't start external USB cdrom
    Have you checked if your laptop computer (BIOS) supports booting from an external USB drive? I doubt it would be possible on old Satellite 5200. If you exchange your CD-ROM drive. You can look on eBay for the part of second hand, they are a little cheaper. :)

  • Satellite 5200 - need compatible player

    Hello

    What are the compatible players for Satellite P5200 series?

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should consult your user manual. There you can find a list of compatible drives.

    But it could be a little difficult to get these discs because the Satellite 5200 is old enough. You should also contact the service provider authorized in your country. They can tell you what new readers are compatible because not all readers are compatible with all laptops.

    Hello

    Well, sorry, but I can't give you a good answer to your question.
    The fact is that the screen of the laptop is a portable computer expensive part.
    You should contact Toshiba service partner in your country and ask for replacement costs.

    Also, I found this page where you can find the compatible screen.

  • Remove the satellite 5200-902-word of past BIOS

    Just turn on the computer laptop Satellite 5200-902 Harman Kardon hangs on the Toshiba screen and asks me the password I never set.
    I can't boot from any external device. In the little LCD Panel under the touchpad, I see the prompt for the password after three incorrect attempts, turned off the laptop.

    You kindly help me?

    BIOS password can be set only. If you don't set it maybe someone else did it for you make problems. BIOS password can be removed by Toshiba authorized personal only.
    You must also understand that BIOS password is very important security feature and how to remove it isn't for the public forum.

  • Memory and disk HARD upgrade question - Satellite 5200 801

    Hi all

    I really need your help to upgrade my toshiba Satellite 5200 801 (model: PS520E-31P1D-EN), basically it's the version specification factory (technical instructions on the link below)
    http://www.cwrose.de/Toshiba/S5200.html

    What I want is to get faster internal memory, you can buy for this model (currently I have two default 256 mb DDR 266 MHz CL2.5 memory sticks). Will probably do a gig of memory (I could have more, but it depends on the price).
    As well, I want to spend the HD to 160 gig (about), as well as get a faster hard drive then the current 60gig 4200 RPM Hitachi HD (as soon as possible for the specifications of my laptop).

    Anyone know what would be the best option?

    Someone said that it would cost all under 100 (that would be cool), but I don't know anything about the compatibility of different companies etc.
    Can anyone recommend what equipment... .and where * I hope that ebay or studs :)
    I need to go to get this sorted out

    PS:
    FYI, I mostly use the laptop for graphic design, video, and the interwebz.

    Thanks for any help you can give!

    Hello

    You can upgrade the Satellite 5200 801 memory and HARD drive.
    S for laptop computer memory can be improved up to 1 GB of RAM. So you can use 2 x 512 MB PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.

    Check this link 5200-801 Satellite:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=6116&ft=m&St=3

    In my opinion, you can use the modules of memory from different manufacturers, but the module must support these specifications: 200-Pin PC2100 (266 MHz) DDR SODIMM
    I suppose you could also use a 400 Mhz because the laptop supports a 400 Mhz FSB too.

    I think that an upgrade of the IDE 160 GB HARD disk is not possible. To my knowledge, the BIOS can support such massive size of the HARD drive. But this is only my personal opinion. If I was you I would try a smaller HDD like 100 GB or 120 GB.

    Hello

    In my opinion, your DVD player is faulty. The position of the laser for reading and writing is not the same. It will be interesting to find out, you can watch DVD movies and if all DVD media can be read correctly. Try to remove the drive from Device Manager. Let the operating system detects the drive again and test it.

    I put t think you can do something.

    Hello

    I put t know if you have the original Tools & Utilities CD for this camera. If so there must be advice that the common modules (V.5.03.00) must be installed as a first step, before you install any other tool or utility. This order of the facilities is very important because the common modules is a kind of module which is very important for the other features of the tools.

    Also check out this CD if there is some sort of html file with installation instructions. If you can't find anything please post again. Maybe we can find something to help you.

  • Satellite 5200 701: I can't use the TV-out more.

    Hello
    This is my first post on this forum. I have a Satellite 5200 701 for 3 years now. I can't watch movies on my TV. I could use this function in the past.

    Last November, I formatted my laptop with CD from Toshiba. As I didn't have a TV, I tried not using the TV function. But now that I have a (different) TV, I tried to use it without success.
    When I press Fn + F5, nothing happens. When I go to the selection of the screen, I can select the 2nd display but in "Advanced", I can't find the same features I've had in the past (before formatting). I don't have the Nview utility in "Advanced"...
    Is this a driver problem? NVIDIA, Toshiba or Microsoft? Problem of material...?

    I don't know how to solve this problem.

    Kind regards

    It cool s that you have solved the problem.
    Thanks for the information. It could be very useful for users of the Toshiba a different forum.

  • Helps the good version of BIOS - Satellite 5200

    I have a Satellite 5200 system unit that I bought in Hong Kong, when I search on the Toshiba site for the upgrade, I wonder for a model number, for example; 701-5200 and 5200-801 etc... Research on the base of the unit, it does NOT display a model number in the way he asks on the Web site.

    Help!

    Hello

    The model number should be placed ant the bottom of the unit.
    There you should find a label with the serial number and the name of your unit.

    Are there outside Yamaha equalizer and Volume any repareable reason for the failure of the Woofer bass in the sound of the Satellite 5200 801?

    Hi Frankie,

    I understand that your problem is that your subwoofer is not working properly. You reinstall the driver and additional of your CD of tools & utilities software or website of toshiba? (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com)

    Also, you can check in Control Panel sound and Audio devices. It should be the Yamaha AC - XG WDm Audio setting as default device in AUDIO.

    Or another suggestion, check under System Device Manager in the control panel and check if the devices work properly!

    It could also possible that your subwoofer is inadmissible and must be changed by a partner of Serivce!

    I'll hope this helps!

    I m not sure but I think that Opera explore doesn t support this option.

    But if opera supports this option, then perhaps, you must activate only in the opera settings?
