Satellite A100-538 doesn't work on battery more

I got a 100-538 for a week now. Last night, I was working on it (power) and then I left the House for half an hour, leaving the laptop. When I came back the computer was off and I heard a soft ticking noise. (I know that it has nothing to do with the Toshiba Power Saver) I couldn't restart it right there.

After about half an hour, I was able to turn it back on again and it seems to be allright again. But... it does work on the battery more. According to the system tray icon the battery is full 100%, but when I disconnect the computers power adapter goes dead instantly. What does the computer goes out in the first place and why is it running on the battery more?

Hello

Sounds like it has been cut off because the hard drive is a loose connection causing the computer to stop. So what does the ticking noise. It does not work on battery because the battery is still a bit shorted and will not allow the battery to operate as usual. There is a new battery cover that will solve this problem. I suggest take you your ASP and made them change the battery cover and make a few quick tests to make sure that nothing else was damaged.

  • Satellite A100-383 does not start - not battery

    Hello.

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite A100 - 383.
    Recent months its battery will remain as defendant for 20-25 minutes.

    OK, that's an old laptop, it's normal, I thought... I connected the laptop to the grid and I haven´t you have any problem. I stayed several hours with the laptop with no problems.

    But yerstarday, the laptop was closed suddenly and now, do not start. I see that the battery symbol flashes 11 times.

    So I have a few questions:

    1 - this laptop, works not connected to the network * without * battery? I thought it was possible...

    2 - What is the problem? Battery? Charger? How I know this?

    3-If the problem is the battery, how much would a new?

    Thank you very much. (and sorry for my English).

    > But, yesterday, the laptop was closed suddenly and now, do not start. I see that the battery symbol flashes 11 times.

    Usually the laptop automatically stops due to high temperatures. Is the kind of physical protection, but after a few minutes, you should be able to turn on the device, the led flashing could mean that there is a problem with the electronic power supply on the motherboard means that the motherboard is affected.

    You can try after bypass. :
    Remove the dough (if it is not already removed), unplug the AC adapter, press the power button / stop for 30 seconds.
    Now, plug in the AC adapter and try to turn on the unit.

    > 1 - this laptop, works not connected to the network without battery? I thought it was possible...
    Generally, it should be possible to use the laptop without the battery.

    > 2 - what is the problem? Battery? Charger? How I know this?
    Not easy to say: If the laptop powers not even using the power adapter, a power adapter or the motherboard might not work. If the two parties must be verified by the technician.

    > 3 - If the problem is the battery, how much would a new?
    Don t think that its battery from the laptop should run with adapter only

  • Satellite A100 PSAA9C does not work without the battery inside

    I'm having a strange problem with a laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA9C-SK900E).

    The machine will not work without the battery in it. If the power supply is connected in the machine and the wall, it will power without the battery installed. If I install the battery, let it load completely (battery LED goes from orange to blue and the plug LED is blue) then start the machine it will work for a period of time (more than an hour depending on what I'm doing) then suddenly turns off.

    If I restart the machine, it will work for a very short period (sometimes only for a few minutes) just before going off.

    If I do this a couple times, the machine will be not even by post before turning off.
    If I let the machine to recharge, it runs for a while and then do the same thing after using it for a while.
    If the battery is pooched, which is fine with me. How to operate with only the power supply of the machine?

    As I type this I'm suspecting that the adapter cannot be taken out the required voltage/amperage. (adapter is not still hot when charging, are my other laptops) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If I understand your assignment, the laptop does not power up without the battery
    But it will light if the battery is connected.

    The question is; Is the power led on if the AC adapter is plugged?
    If this isn't the case, then it means that the power adapter is faulty and so the laptop cannot be turned on by using only the AC adapter.

    I think you should test a new adapter. Maybe it helps!

    Hello

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Have you noticed something strange with LED power control? It is also possible that the electronic power supply do troubled.

  • Satellite A100 - wireless/network not working not

    Hi all I'm new here and even though I think I know a little about PC I seem to forget that I have learned.

    I have a lappy Satellite A100, which was connected to a home network wireless and worked very well. After travel further using another wireless USB device, I would return home put on wireless and connection obtained immediately.

    On a recent trip to Bali, I discovered that there are free hot spots wireless everywhere, however I had problems with the connection on trying to connect and could hang, past my expertise so went to a guy who has tinkered with Lappy I wss then you connect wherever I went, great, until the return to the House.

    Put on wireless and cannot connect, I tried everything and had to resort to a cable connection.

    I noticed when you use Toshiba cordless tool it is to see the connection to the router, but stops to Lappy with!

    It has been considered a clean install, but this seems drastic.

    * Help please *.

    (4) use static IP addresses, instead of using the DHCP (dynamic IP address)

  • Satellite A100: FN keys not working not not on Windows XP

    Hi there, Im new to this, so hopefully someone can help.
    Some time ago my hard drive had serious problems and I replaced it.

    But with that I also had Windows XP like some things that I really didn't like about vista.

    Anyway, since then my function keys on the 'F' keys and my media keys on the left side of the laptop are not working, can anyone suggest to me what I can do?

    If it is a driver or something there, and if so, where can I get it?

    Hello

    First of all, you should check your model number of the laptop.
    The European driver Toshiba page provides drivers for five different sets of Satellite A100!
    In order to choose one that fits!

    If you want to use the FN buttons please ensure that your common Toshiba Module driver has been installed! This is important. In addition the Hotkey Utility must be installed as indicated by the above user.

    Toshiba button near the power button are controlled by the Toshiba driver controls!

    I think that these drivers should help you get the laptop works properly.

    IM so confused so if you have ideas, please let me know.
    Ive tried to fix this for two days now and im starting to lose my patience.

    > This computer no Bluetooth in there?
    Your assumption is correct.

    This laptop does not support the BT module and so you cannot use it ;)
    If you can't find any BT label at the bottom of the unit and then the BT module has not been installed.

  • After having cleaned my Satellite A100 display no longer works

    I opened my Satellite A100 to make sure it is clean. After opening it, I decided to close this back. After I put all the screws, and I turn on the laptop, there is no display on the screen but the mother/processor board works very well.

    Also, I reopened the laptop and checked the material and saw that near the port where you can connect a monitor, the white piece of hardware are separated, if I can connect these two back, I think I can make it work.

    Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    Looks like you have accidentally disconnected (removed) the FL inverter cable or video cable that connects the screen LCD with the jury.

    Usually it of not recommended and not recommended to disassemble the laptop if you have no experience. During this process other parts can be damaged and therefore jobs must be performed by a technician for laptop.
    I see that you have already opened the laptop and the warranty is not valid.

    It of always difficult to explain this procedure and so I goggled a bit and found this page useful:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-A105/remove-replace-LCD-screen-1.htm

    The laptop described on the page is a Sat A105 but very similar to A100
    Good luck and be careful.

  • Satellite A100 controls do not work

    I have a satellite A100 496, PSAA8E model number and since I got it, I was never able to use the buttons on the side.

    I tried to install the common Modules as it said on some forum discussions, but nothing changes.

    What else do I need to install?

    At first, I must say that something like that is definitely not possible. Why? The laptop comes with the pre-installed operating system (factory settings). All these buttons are designed to work with pre-installed software (IE7, Windows Media Player, WinDVD years also with a Toshiba DVD player).

    Because of this I can't believe you have this from the first day. Now the question: did you install your own operating system or you always use factory settings?
