Satellite A210-1AP - battery and power supply problem

A few weeks ago I received my laptop (Satellite A210) reapair and the motherboard was changed.

Since then, I got problem with the battery when it is inside and power cable is pluged.
When the cable is in the laptop running on battery power I do not know why. Then when I turn it off battery led is lit Orange and the battery is charging.
When the PC is turned on, the indicator light does not work and the battery becomes lower.

So I wonder what the problem is.
I read somewhere that this problem could solve the BIOS update.
So anyone have experience like this.
Also how is installed BIOS, I saw there is an installer for windows (so I guess it isn't hard).

And somehow can back up old BIOS so I can go back if something bad happens.

> A few weeks I got my laptop (Satellite A210) reapair and the motherboard was changed.

In my opinion, the technician has done something wrong
The point is that this problem occurs after the exchange of motherboard and I think what this is about.

Contact the ASP who repaired the laptop and explain your problem.
I doubt that a BIOS update would solve this problem. I think it s a question an electrician

    When it is connected to the power outlet, provide the following happpens:

    He started using the battery instead of the power supply.
    Power and battery leds turn on and turn off (on during a few seconds and then off for a few seconds).
    At this point, the battery stops charging.

    In the manual it mentions something on one of the lights turn blue, none have ever done that.

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should first check if the power adapter is not a malfunction.
    If the AC adapter would work properly, then the battery might not be charged and the battery led not turn to blue because the battery is not fully charged.

    I would recommend so check the AC adaptor first.
    Of course this is only my personal opinion and I could be wrong too

  • Satellite X 200-219 and power supply Issue

    About 2 weeks ago, my adapter has stopped working, I know its a problem with that and not a fatal outcome with the laptop.

    I know that I can buy one from here, but I really don't want to pay for one when I could ask a.
    I have a 1 year with Toshiba warranty which has run-out and also purchased 3 years extended warranty with the Comet UK.
    I was wondering if the adapter is covered on warranty toshiba or the comet.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Bought a laptop from May 2008.
    Extended warranty expires in May 2011.
    Budget is pretty tight at the moment, otherwise I would have already bought for £80 of toshiba.

    In my view AC adapter is covered by Toshiba and you should contact or visit nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and clarify this here.
    They can answer all of your questions and also help with ordering new parts.

    Toshiba Power saver and the common modules are NOT available for Win XP!

  • Satellite L450D - weird load and power question

    Hello

    I myself L450D that plays up a little bit. The main problem with it is that it can not be activated in without the battery being inserted. Once you make this portable tension each time. Without the battery it just flashes power after light spin a fan for a fraction of a second and do nothing else.

    Most of the time, when you turn it on it will start fine but is the ' power on ' off and battery light blinks slowly (light orange). I know battery is not charging and windows says its loading in-is not clogged. After a few tries (remove and insert the back stack) when I he turned on the light "power we" and battery started to load correctly. I have the battery fully charged and it takes 2 hours (watching a movie until his real).
    The "connected" light is whenever I plug the charger.

    The questions are:
    -why he used to power up without the battery?
    -Why is not turned on on the light and reloads do not even if the laptop works well under windows?

    I tried pressing the power button for 30 seconds, with or without the battery and adapter, no luck. What is a BIOS problem? I also tried the RAM and the HARD drive in different portable, works ok.

    Also once the laptop is powered on it can go on for hours with no problems. I insist on proven components and without defects found

    Hope you can understand my ramblings, please give me a hint if you know which continues, dan

    In my opinion, you need professional help with this. On this virtual path, we can only speculate what the problem is. To me, it seems that the electronic power supply problem. I put t know what else can be responsible for this, BIOS, certainly not.

    Contact the nearest Toshiba service provider to check the electronic card. They will be able to give you answers to your questions.

  • Satellite A210 1AP - the screen does not turn

    I had a problem about a month ago with my Toshiba Satellite A210-1AP, just that the screen did not turn. Was working on the computer, all the lights were on. The light that shows the HARD disc flickered, as usual, but with display always off. So I stop, and the next time I tried it was warking as usual, with display turned on, he asked if I want to start windows normally or in safe mode (as when it is restarted abnormally). Then worked normally for a few days, and then it happens again. At this point, I could not go to the service (computer was in warranty, and how do you prove that something happens sometimes if it happened there). So I continued to use it, and as the time past the problem was more often. So I decided to go to the service.

    Guy in the service, said that the problem is the motherboard, so he changed the motherboard and it took months for him to do, and then when I called he said that it still does not. And maybe he has change rooms, display, graphics card is perhaps a problem, that he has not seen the problem like this...

    So my question is do you know what could be the problem? And the second question is can I demand of him, because he went from 30 days to give me a new computer rather change all parties to this issue?

    Thank you
    Nikola

    Hi mate,

    It's really hard to say what causes this problem, but I think that notebok technicians do a good job and they will be committed to repair your laptop as soon as possible. Maybe they ordered some new parts, but they are not available at this time

    Theoretically, all that could be the reason of this problem FL inverter, LCD screen, motherboard, graphics card, cable, etc.

    So I think you should call the technicians still what is the current status.
    But I doubt that you can get a new laptop for free. If it of still under warranty, it will be repaired.

  • Equium L10-273 kept switching between battery and power

    Hello

    I saw a similar post here and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they have had this problem sorted? My Equium L10-273 kept switching between battery and power all others second, which made it impossible to type, it's got worse and worse. I thought it was a problem with the power supply, but when I removed the battery from the laptop is ok running of the adapter.

    He kept also make a noise of hissing/crackling growing fan region, which stopped when I removed the AC adapter. The adapter was unusually hot, and the fan area became too hot to the touch. This stopped now, I removed the battery, so I want to know is what someone has solved this problem by replacing the battery or it should be returned?

    This laptop is less than 2 years old, but apart from his one year warranty.

    Hello

    According to the description of your problem, I think there is a problem of electronic power supply. Sorry but there is not a universal solution, and I recommend you contact the service authorized in your country. Explain the situation and see what they say.

  • Satellite A210-1AP stops working - gel system

    I am the owner of the Satellite A210-1AP.
    Buy laptop in May and since that time I have problems with the system freeze. Is it possible this computer with 2.1 GHz; 2 GB of memory; 512 MB of video memory on Windows Vista Home Premium cannot work with music and Skype on the same time (of course the WiFi is enabled).

    What is the problem? System? Bad drivers? Antivirus (Nod32 Smart Security 3)? Configuration of the week?

    Please if anyone can answer or try to help me?
    I am no newbie with computers.
    It is my first Toshiba but third notebook comps since 95.

    I'm crazy about reboot and freezing.
    If there is no help in thinking to sell it.
    Thanks for any help!

    Nenad

    Hey Buddy

    I understand very well this freezing system is very annoying and crazy.

    I ve got a laptop for 7 years and had a similar problem. The system froze suddenly and only a reboot of the laptop has helped.
    After a long investigation, I discovered that one of my modules of memory was faulty.
    I presume that a temperature high affected of the memory module.
    I replaced the faulty RAM and could solve the problem.

    Oh I forgot to say that I have reinstalled my OS first to ensure that it is not a software problem (OS).

    I think you should make the check even if the problem could be solved by using the recovery CD. The recovery CD will be programmed the phone to the factory settings and normally everything should work without problem.

    If the problem persists, then a hardware problem might be possible

    But no man panic, it seems, your warranty is valid. So contact the ASP in your country and ask for help.
    In my view, the guarantee should cover everything.

    Good luck

  • T30 power supply problem!

    Hello

    My thinkpad T30 has the following problem:

    Turn - indicator and white lcd

    no thing happen just indicator on!

    I removed the battery for 1 min then try again so it works correctly, the problem me wit get more than 10 times

    over the last year.

    and now does not work in all cases

    What should I do?

    Here's a question for you? Your problem of power comes from the battery itself or the motherboard?

    This is what you can try to do it.

    (1) remove the battery and power cord

    2) press the power button on 10 times

    (3) press and hold the button for 30 seconds

    (4) connect the power cord only

    (5) try to turn on the unit.

    Your device should still be able to turn on with just the AC power. If you see only the 2 LED (the one with the circle and the 'Z' patter, which is the power on status, the other is one that looks like the plug of power supply) and your unit is still not lit, then you need to replace your motherboard...

    If you can power your device successfully, try plug the battery later and see if it will charge at maximum capacity. So go ahead and remove the power cord. If your unit loses power immediately at the time you remove the power cord, then Yes, you have a bad battery and must be replaced.

    Let me know if that helps you at all. Care.

    See you soon,.

  • XPS 8500 does not turn on, power supply problem

    XPS 8500 shipped on 18/01/13 so only a little more than 1 years. does illuminate, check psu and it's fine. reduce mobo or power button module. want to try to bypass the module by jumping pins on the mobo, problem is that I can't find any list of the pins for mobo or power button. Any help would be greatly appreciated since comp is barely over the years and cannot afford a new right now. Called Dell but no help it cause guaranteed missed, which took them 5 transfers and 45 minutes to tell me that :)

    If the green light on the power supply goes off, it detects an anomaly. So, it is not the power button that does not work.

    1. Visually check all ports USB for damage, misshapen or twisted for example contacts
    2. Try to turn on with nothing attached (no keyboard, no monitor, no mouse, etc.)
    3. Setting power off unplug and power button press / hold for ~ 15s open the case and carefully reconnect all RAM modules and PCI cards in their locations. Check the power cable from the power SUPPLY mobo and CPU. Cable control to all readers, video card etc... Pull the mobo battery and power press on/hold button for ~ 30, replace the battery (right-side-to the top).
    4. Check the cable to the module button before (F_PANEL connector on the mobo)
    5. Check before USB cable to motherboard
    6. Etc.

    The manual is hereif you need information about all of these connectors.

  • Pavilion a6655f: hard drive or power supply problem?

    A few days ago, I was trying to low loading part of the steam.  My download speed is 30 kbs, obviously not good.

    I did some basic checks, malware, viruses, etc., but did not find any problem.  I did a diagnostic check and got a BIOHD-8 error code, which indicates a hard drive problem.  I decided to try to reset the computer back to the factory setting before changing the hard drive and once that I made and updated windows Vista for several hours, I restarted the diagnosis and he came clean.  Then I updated my software, including steam and a few games.  Downloads were fast and had no problems.  Later that night the computer started to shut down randomly, and I was unable to run any games.  Thinking it's maybe a power supply problem, I have replaced my graphics card with an elder who needs less energy.  I am able to run without any problems so far.  So, I'm looking for help in identifying my problem.  HDD problem, power supply, something else?  Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Hard to say without proper trials.

    You can use a hardware monitor HW Monitor to monitor tensions it is: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
    But there is no software that can test a power supply.

    You can get a tester of hardware like this too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16899887005

    But there is really no of it will predict fails if the power supply, if you overloaded it, if its duration in time high, or if the power supply is a device of poor quality that can be subject to failure.

    You can also check that your power cable is comfortably installed on the computer and not frayed.  Try a different wall jack where there are fluctuations in power.
