Satellite A10 dies after the power LED blink

Hello

I have a problem with the power supply of my Toshiba Satellite A10. Sometimes, after the computer sat for some time, I have a problem with the power. The "plugged power cable" - LED will start to blink and shortly after, the computer just dies.

It can also have the time to go into a lower energy state before he does. When it happened once, it will most likely happen also when I restart the computer, but after a much shorter time. WXP won't even have time to start. If I stop to select the source of start-up, the problem will occur anyway, this isn't the software. It should also be noticed that when the computer is not turned off, the 'smart power' - is on correctly.

I know that my battery is not very good. Completely loaded, the computer can run for maybe 3 minutes with only the battery. I know that I must have a battery connected, even if I use the power cable, but this occurs even when the mine problem. The battery would be pretty bad not even allow me to use the computer with a cable?

It should be added, that sometimes I can use the computer for long periods of time without this problem to happen. I also have a problem with the battery not being not properly in physical contact with the pins of the computer, but this isn't the problem here, because I have the same problem with the battery removed and me holding the battery in place.

Thank you for your help.

Hello

You description is very long and detailed and it of still not easy to say what's wrong.
Usually, the DC-In witness lights up green when DC is provided FRO the AC current. If the output voltage of the adapter is abnormal or if power outages, this indicator flashes orange.

So I think that is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.

  • Satellite A205 freeze after the power connection

    My computer has this strange problem. It stops completely after that I have plug in the power supply.
    What I do now, it is let it recharge when it is off and use it without food.

    There is a chance that it works with the power connected, but generally, it stops again in the trunk.
    If the battery is low and I connect the power usually, it stops right after that I do, sometimes not.

    I also tried to install Linux. But the same thing happens (except by the fact Linux only stops in the trunk)
    I'm now using Windows Vista.

    Thanks for the time and sorry for the English.

    > any suspicion?
    As suggested above; It looks like an electrical problem on the motherboard power supply. Maybe the motherboard must be changed.

    Hi mate,

    I had a similar problem which stops my Satellite A300 and the power light was blinking. This happens always after 1 or 2 minutes.

    Hello

    When I turn on my router, only the power LED comes on, no other LED lights. Ive been waiting for awhile as well, switching router on and outside, from time to time but its still the same result, only power LED lights

    I think this happened because of the failure of an attempt to upgrade my modem firmware, which I clicked on another tab, stop the download. After that, the modem turned off and only the power LED came on when I switched it back on

    any help would be apperciated, thank you

    If I press the power button / stop it makes no noise, the power LED on the button and the second power LED just bliks once and turns on and keep blinking every 5 seconds.

    I tried to:
    * Remove battery and power up with AC only

    * remove the battery power button hold for 30 seconds and over power with AC, battery only athen

    but it did not help.

    I checked the LEDs AC & battery, but they do not blink, they are just RED, so there is no problem in battery or AC.

    No idea where could be the problem?

    Hello

    The failure of RAM could be the reason for this behavior of the laptop.
    Remove the RAM modules with good modules tested and check the functionality of the laptop.
    In the case of RAM isn t the troublemaker, the motherboard could be affected.

    Good luck and share your experience with us.

  • I can't start with Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more

    I can't start my Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more.
    Sometimes, very rarely its starts when I hold the power button for a while say 10 seconds.

    I tested the power supply and a battery to my friends P10 (of the same type) and both work very well.

    So it must be a problem with the key.
    No idea what to do?

    Thanks for any help

    The best.

    Tobias

    If it s a button or a power supply electronic problem, then you can't do anything.
    In this case assistance by the technicians of laptop would be necessary.

    But the next time that you should try this option if the laptop turns on not;
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the laptop for about 30 min.

    After this short period of time to reconnect the two parts and check if the laptop could start.

    Good luck

  • Portege R100 stoped working - the power LED flashes error codes

    I have a R100 that has suddenly stopped working.
    The power led (clear amber with the image of the power wire) flashes what appears to be an error code of 5 flashes with a long pause on the last flash, followed by 3 flashes.

    That - what it means, and where can I get a list of all codes error?

    I changed the main battery, changed the spare battery and changed supply - and again, I get the error permanently. I was not able to power the laptop at all since it started. When you press the power button / nothing happens.

    I hope someone on this forum has some information that may help you diagnose this problem. Tech support representatives Toshiba post here?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I m not a R100 owner but to me it looks like a card mother malfunction because you have already tried to exchange the battery and the AC adapter.

    In this case, the best solution would be if you go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can consult the specifications and they know what means this code I think.
    Here it s only a user to user forum and I have never seen anyone from Toshiba again.

    Anyway, here you can search for the nearest ASP:

  • Have HP Pavilion dv2500, won, t turn on. When you connect the power supply blinks blue.

    Have HP Pavilion laptop dv2500, p/n kn997ua #aba, does not illuminate. When you connect the power supply blinks blue.

    Now you can take the laptop at best buy or Wal-Mart and get them to plug a power cord. This will give you an idea if you need to buy a power cord or not.

    Again, you can always buy the power supply cord and if it does not return.

  • Z820 - button Power LED blinks 4 times (red) with beep... bad card (Quadro 4000) graphics?

    Hello

    My Z820 at the office is suddenly having a few hardware malfunction.

    When I turn on my machine, the PSU/system fans don't rev and the Power LED button flashes red with a beep 4 times.

    According to this page of troubleshooting, this indicates a faulty PSU on the new UEFI computers:

    HP desktop - computer does not start and emits a LED or a beep Code

    Section "code beep and LED descriptions.

    Get the exact model of LED as the example of "power failure".

    Then, I got a new power supply replacement. I still have the exact same model LED and beeps...

    So, I have drawn deeper and found that when I removed the Quadro 4000 card graphics and then put on my machine, the power button LED is lit in blue (led code ' computer-S0 (normal operation) "") and all the normal spin fans.

    The Quadro card seems to be the culprit...

    Unfortunately, I have no alternative graphic card laying to verify this around, I'm waiting for a replacement of the graphics card (via HP service) to arrive tomorrow.

    Is it possible that the power LED button code (4 times red with beep...) has nothing to do with a bad power supply and that my Quadro is bad?

    Dries

    Dry... that Z820 has been giving you headaches.

    Many fault codes have not changed since the previous workstatons.  I hit this series of beeps of error in the past, and often doesn't mean that the power supply itself is the cause.  It can be a hardware device to the bottom of the chain causing a power surge to power, triggering his "crowbar circuit: fault protection

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/crowbar _ (circuit)

    Here are the instructions to deal with this series of beeps of a previous HP xw technical and repair.  Note the number 2 in the troubleshooting instructions... usually you don't have to go down to 3, in my experience.  I think that you have already found the faulty unit:

    Loss of power.
    1. open the access panel and make sure that the power cable is properly
    connected to the system board.
    2. Locate the faulty device by removing all devices and then reinstalling one at a time
    until the workstation fails. Replace the device at the origin of the failure. Continue to add
    devices to make sure that everything works correctly.
    3. check the power supply feature.
    a. turn off the AC power.
    b. remove all cables internal power on the system board.
    c. connect the power supply.
    ● If the power supply fan turns and the BIST LED lights, then the
    power supply is good. Replace the motherboard.
    ● If the power supply fan does not turn or the BIST LED does not
    light up, replace the power supply.

  • Satellite Pro L650 turns off after start; DC In and Power LEDs blink on stop

    A friend Satellite Pro L650 having worked well until yesterday, all of a sudden turned itself off. Now, at startup, it lights up normally for about 10-15 seconds before turning off suddenly. Turned off, the DC in white/blue LED and the orange Power LED Flash on a broad set of intervals of approximately one second. This extinction happens if I leave Windows or press F2 to enter the BIOS setup.

    I guess this blinking is intended to serve as a kind of diagnostic code, but I have yet to track down what it means. Can anyone help?

    To avoid confusion, power without the product stack the same, sudden stop experience, except the two LEDs remain solidly lit this time. With or without battery, trying to turn on again immediately after that a shutdown produced no response at all. Remove the power cable and immediately it reconnect again and turn then produced a brutal power off, but in less than 5 seconds. More wait between attempts to market seems to give a little longer powered on State, but without fault, the machine turns off just suddenly. With its short time 'turned on' we are talking, there cannot be any kind of thermal protection?

    I had an old Satellite L450D lying around that uses coincidentally the same AC PA-1750 adapter, but use it made no difference. Of course, the battery does not have the L650!

    The only previous numbers, that I am aware of this machine have been intermittent case of Windows reporting "Plugged in, not charging", but as my friend use it exclusively on the network, it was not a problem.

    Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated...

  • Satellite R840-139 - Power led blinks

    Hello
    Sorry for my bad English :-).

    a computer whose power LED flashes orange. I tried to read the error code is 01001010 = 4 Ah. I think my computer has a bit of a shock, but I'm not sure. It would be a failure but 3V but which?

    I tried to press and hold the power for 30 seconds and reconnect the power supply and the battery and nothing changes. I measured the voltage charger is about 19V.

    He had already put in this fashion several months ago, but has restarted.

    What can I do?

    3V resembles the RAM. Try a different RAM module.
    If it still does not respond, it may be a faulty motherboard.

  • Satellite A100 - turns off the power after 60 seconds

    The fan turns, I tried cutting dvd, wireless, modem, ram, hard drive, it opens and clean all the dust. It turns off after 60 seconds exactly every time

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello

    > and clean any dust
    How did you do that?
    Usually, you can use jet of compressed air to clean the laptop and remove the dust that blocks the fan. That is why it s not necessary to disassemble the laptop as you can read here:
