Satellite A200 - loses the battery, switch off the power

I have a relatively old Satellite A200, yet almost all inside is new except the battery. The battery has a very short life, but that's because its old. Recently the computer started to suddenly lose the battery, so the charge light stays on, the battery light turns off and the battery icon said "plugged in, not charging." However, the computer still work on battery power. If I see it at the time, then by removing and replacing the charger repeatedly, I can start it load again, but if I am not it switches off without warning. Since the battery life is now less than a minute which often.

I don't think that the problem is with the charger because it always shows the charger is plugged in, and when the computer is off the battery light is always on when it is plugged. I had a problem with the power connector, but if the motherboard was recently replaced so I don't think that's it either.

If someone could help it would save me a lot of frustration, thank you.

Hello

At first, I must say that you should not be frustrated. Problems with consumer products are normal, and each of us has problems with laptops, televisions or other electronic product.

Let's see what you can do about it.
Your description is OK, but what I want to know is follow:
When you remove the battery can work on your laptop with no problems (start work, cut)?

I also think that the battery is too old and I presume it's troublemaker in the history. It is not easy to explain what behavior flashing if you have a defective hardware or old coin inside.

Maybe, you need to buy the replacement of the battery and check the features for laptop and the battery, just to see if everything will be OK again. If you will be faced with the same problem again then we can discuss what may be the problem.
In my opinion only a reason for this could be electronic power supply.

What do you think?

  • Satellite A200-1DN - the update of the BIOS for Windows 7

    I am running 32-bit Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 1DN. I had battery problems (plugged in, does not support) and I understand that I have to update my BIOS. However I can't find an update of the BIOS for Windows 7, only Vista and XP.

    Can anyone help? I should update with the BIOS in Vista? Are there other options to fix this battery? I already tried an ATX reset and uninstall method battery Microsoft ACPI compatible controls.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you
    Ian

    Theoretically, you can install Windows Vista to update Bios and return Win 7, then. Before you do, try this:

    Unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off
    Remove the battery. Using a soft cloth, wipe the battery packs connectors and AC adapters.
    Reinsert the battery and plug it into the power adapter

    also, have you had the same problem before installing Win 7?

  • Satellite 1005: Push the power button, will turn off the AC power.

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite 1005

    Problem: When I press the power button and let go, the laptop immediately loses all power.

    I use the power cord plugged into the laptop, the power supply light is green, but when I press the power button and let go, as soon as the power light goes black(turns off), nothing happens.

    Howerver, if I PRESS the power button without letting go, power LED lights, but the laptop won't boot at all, no Startup logo, no sound no matter what.

    It's the second time this has happened, the first time, I let stand overnight and the next day she booted up fine.

    Currently, the laptop is cold, it did not work, but always the same thing as described above.

    There are no changes made to the laptop.

    Any ideas?

    It seems that the contact, the power button is faulty. Better to elevate the laptop to a Toshiba service station for a check.

    I n ' t´t think that it is a software failure.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L350 loses the wireless connection

    Can someone please help?

    I have a Satellite L350-170 which perfectly connects to the internet using a cable to connect to my router.
    When you use the wireless to connect, I can only get a connection so I first of all turn off the wireless card and then enable it again, but I lose the connection within two minutes. I can reconnect if again, I turn off and then turn on the map.

    The OS is Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2, fully implemented to date. I have updated to the most recent available wireless network driver. I tried to turn off IP6.
    The laptop is connected to the network and receives a signal of power when it connects.
    When the connection is lost, no networks are detected, but properties card says card works Ok, although Ipconfig says media disconnected. Other mobile stay connected anywhere in the House.

    Thank you in anticipation of a quick solution.

    Where did you download the latest driver for the Realtek 802.11 g (RTL8187B) wireless network card?

    This is the WLan from Toshiba portal, where you can find the latest version of the driver:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    I recommend also to renew the IP address if this problem would occur.
    Cmd execute command: ipconfig / renew
    This should help to assign the new ip address

    By the way: in the Device Manager-> Wlan card-> properties-> power management, you can uncheck the mark option which disables the card in order to save energy.

    Have you tested the WiFi with open (unsecured) WiFi connection?

  • Satellite L300 loses the IP address using the WiFi network

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite L300 and installed Windows XP. While I installed all the devices available for download drivers my wireless connection is still not working properly - the IP address shows as lost after several minutes of functioning and on several occasions the laptop froze and had to manually turn off (if the wireless connection is turned off to this isn't the case)

    You have ideas or suggestions on why this is happening?

    Thanks in advance for your support!

    Hello

    Check if the most recent BIOS is available for this model of laptop and if yes, then try to update.
    As next update Win XP to the last State. All MS patches, updates must be installed.

    I m not very well what WLan card you but you are trying to install the WiFi adapter driver on the WLan card manufacturer site.

    Finally, and especially if you lose the WLan IP address and then start the CMD (in the window RUN) and type this command:
    ipconfig / renew

    The CPU cooler is broken or is it just a setting in the bios?

    You must understand that nobody does you any kind of diagnostic accuracy and if you want to have the correct answer, your laptop must be checked by a technician.

  • Re: Satellite L670 loses the wireless connection

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L670 - 1 H 1, a new laptop that runs Windows 7, with all the drivers and software uptodate, including the wireless card.

    The laptop works fine when I stay in the room where the reception centre. If I move in the kitchen the laptop will usually lose the wireless connection after a few minutes and I cannot get it back unless I turn the LAPTOP works and return to the Home Hub.

    I see no obvious reason to this problem. Two other laptop computers used in the home, more a smartphone stay connected with full signal in every corner of the House, at any time.

    Hello Canton

    As you know quality of connection WLAN depends on different factors is not easy to say why you have this problem, WLAN. I use Toshiba laptops for a long time now and I didn't notice in the past some serious question of WLAN.
    For example I'm 4 router with standard g and have very good signal even in the cellar too or out in the back yard.

    If possible, try to test the WLAN connection elsewhere. Maybe your friends have WLAN routers so you can test it.

    You have a new router or old?
    What WLAN standard do you use (b/g/n)?

  • Satellite Pro L300-152 lose the power connector - how to disassemble it?

    I have a Satellite Pro L300 - 152 unit, which is out of warranty.
    I have a bad power connector, it has been pushed back and be dislodged from his seat or brocken cradel is within the computer.

    I am trying to remove the back to see if the power connector can be repaired or remains in its cradle.
    I removed all the screws and all devices, but can not get it off the computer.

    There seems to be something with the keyboard, which I took.

    Can you help me?

    To fix the power connector the whole notebook must be disassembled and you must have access to the motherboard. Disassembly procedure is not complicated if you have maintenance manuals and instructions.
    To have full access to the motherboard, you must remove all the screws from the underside and also all the screws under the keyboard. You will then be able to separate the notebooks and disassemble the upper.

    Tell me exactly what you have removed so far?

  • Satellite A200 use external battery

    Hi all.

    I have the Satellite A200-PSAE6E, and I bought a universal external battery. But external battery cannot produce enough current to my laptop when the internal battery is not full. When internal battery is fully charged, external keeps it full and portable computer running, but when the internal battery is not complete and I plug the external battery in seconds laptop shows that it is plugged in, charging the battery, but after a few seconds, it shows only that the laptop is plugged, and battery charge.

    Problem is that when the laptop is plugged in and the battery won't charge it uses an internal battery (as when it is not plugged in), and it drain the internal battery it turn off and there was still shows that it is connected. Can I define that when the laptop is plugged in, but does not charge to use external power?
    I'm sure it's only the software solution.

    You ad is really confusing

    I have a question; Is the external battery designed for this model of laptop and Toshiba recommends use this external battery in your laptop?

  • L50 - A satellite - state of the power supply is lit, but laptop will not start.

    Hello
    A few months ago, I bought a new Toshiba laptop L50 - A Satellite. He worked incredibly in all directions until about a week ago when it lights. He has been connected to the charger with the charging light but does not illuminate. When I press the power button, the small ring of orange around the button light turns on and will be so all the LED lights on the front of the laptop, as well as I can hear the fan and other work items, but the screen remains black. This has been the case for a little over a week now and at random, two of the times I tried to power on my laptop, he turned on and working but then after that be cut, it wouldn't work again. He has not worked since 5 days and since then I tried to turn it on.

    One of my friends who knows a thing or two suggested perhaps it was the display that was defective and should I try to connect it to my TV via a HDMI cable. This seemed logical, so I gave him a test in the hope that he'd at least let me know what was the problem, but no fixed image displayed anywhere.

    My laptop is almost always connected to the charger and an expensive cooling fan, so I guess that battery and components must still work most of the time, and I've read that this laptop is designed so that you cannot remove the battery, but I do not know how to in any case.

    I tried a few different methods to try to start it as now the Start button / stop and the ESC key for 10 seconds, now back while pressing the power button and pressing the power button while pressing F8 repeatedly. But none of them worked so far.

    If anyone has any ideas or a way to help, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you, Julian.

    Hello

    The L50 - A Satellite supports a stop (hole) switch located at the bottom of the unit.

    Cell phone is freezing, do not start or has a power failure, which cannot be resolved by pressing the button for 10 seconds (force shutdown), please use stop force switch instead of the main battery.

    During a stop by pressing this button force, the behavior of the system is identical to unplug the AC adapter and remove the main battery.

  • My Satellite A200 - 1 M 7 turns off randomly

    Hello

    I have a following problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 m 7 2 years: my warranty just expired and my laptop started to fade at random with a frequency about once a week. Sometimes 3 times in a row and sometimes just once.

    I have no problem with turning again and then it works properly. This closure is independent on working time, sometimes, it happens just after the start as well as after a few hours of work. It happens on windows and Linux system, using my battery or not. I don't think it's overheating, as the last time it was cleaned and it doesn t go hot.
    I use all advanced programs and any upgrade of the system.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Hello

    If you n t think that it is an overheating problem?
    Well what could she be then? Motherboard problem? RAM problem?

    RAM can very easily check.
    Download the RAM (google for some free tools) free diagnostic utility and run tests.

    What about BIOS? You have the latest version? If this is not the case, the update!

    But I would not exclude the overheating problem
    I mean the laptop automatically stops because it s a particular physical protection.
    There are sensors that monitor the temperature level and if the CPU or other parties would be too hot, the unit will stop automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

    Maybe your thermal grease which is placed between the CPU and the module dry cooling?  :| This may happen after a long period of use
    In this case the thermal grease should be renewed by a technician

    Ask an ASP in your country for replacement.
