Satellite A30-414: power surge on hub port error

Hi all

I have a Satellite A30-414 under XP Pro SP2. I had 2 USB ports: I plugged a siemens santis ADSL modem one and a sitecom USB hub 4 in the other. For months things have worked very well, but in the last few weeks I've been more frequently make this mistake of "power surge on hub port", which sometimes turns into a "a bad usb device worked" or "unknown usb device"...

At first, I thought it was the modem. Then I thought it was the hub. Then I saw that I was getting the same error when everything I had plugged in was this basic usb mouse. At that time I KNEW: this is yet another annoying bugs kindly provided by XP SP2.

All microsoft support had to suggest is to "use an AC adapter to power the USB device"... (Gee, why didn't think of this?) Too bad that my sitecom hub is designed to draw power from the USB port only).

Of course, one will mark the task bar so that the error is always hidden, but that does not eliminate the problem itself now, it?

Bottom line is... I'm tired of plugging and unplugging USB devices over and over again trying to make them work. Can someone pls drop some wisdom? I heard that people from the other producer for laptop has had a patch for this error...

Thanks in advance!

Hello

If you want to avoid this error message you can do on this way:

-Click START
-Click on control PANEL
-Double-click on the SYSTEM icon
-Click on the HARDWARE tab
-Click the button MANAGER of DEVICES
-Click on the + sign next to USB Bus controllers to expand the selection.
-Right click and select PROPERTIES on the Intel® USB UNIVERSAL HOST CONTROLLER (not the USB root hub)
-Click on the ADVANCED tab
-Check the box that says: don't tell me about USB errors

Of course, the USB device has exceeded the limits of its hub port power. USB devices may draw a maximum of 500 milliamps (mA) per connection. With the release of SP2, if a device tries to use more than that, a USB port balloon message appears to indicate this on the current condition. During the docking of the Tablet, a very brief on the current condition is sometimes detected by the operating system, and the warning message is displayed. As much as I know this message has no effect on the functionality of the USB port.

Good bye

  • Satellite A30-414 turn off randomly

    Hi, I'm new here. I own this Satellite A30-414. It works well, but it turns off randomly. I explain.

    I might use it for non-stop days, it works well, but sometimes it empties and turns off. Then it always turns on the second attempt. I mean, after the stop, I turn it on, I see the MESSAGE, then it turns off again. The second time I turn it on it goes OK and starts Windows XP Pro SP3. There is no particular action, I do it turns off, it can happen any application at any time. As I said, it can stay for days, connected to the internet via wifi or lan, download P2P stuff, no problem not turn off.

    I thought it was the temperature because it's warm enough, so I run it on a laptop computer have lower airflow, not at all, it turns off randomly anyway. Maybe I'm thniking more heating unsoldered some brazing under BGA chips, so it might need a redistribution of some chips, maybe the graphics chip

    Can you help me please?

    Thanx

    Hi satiropan,

    > I thought it was the temperature because it's warm enough, so I run it on a laptop computer have lower airflow, not at all, it turns off randomly anyway.
    Such an external Notebook Cooler will not help you solve this problem. The internal cooling fan is designed and tested for this laptop and everything will work perfectly even on high usage. External cooling is not necessary.

    It's old enough laptop model, so I imagine that a lot of dust blocking the cooling fan. Therefore, clean it with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. The exact procedure is described here:

    I hope that it helps :)

  • Satellite A30-414: what processors are compatible?

    Hello, I have a satellite a30-414 without the central unit and I don't know which cpu is able to use.
    Is the socket 478? 479?
    Should I use a P4M 2.4 Ghz or I can also use a P4M 2.0 as the SL6CL or 1.6 as the SL5YU?

    Thank you all.

    Hello

    I studied in the net for details A30 and it seems that the following processors could be compatible.

    Intel Celeron CPU up to 2.8 GHz (without HTT)
    Intel Pentium 4 (NW) CPU up to 3.06 GHz (without HTT)
    Intel Pentium 4 (NW) CPU to 3.2 GHz (with HTT)
    CPU Intel Pentium 4 (Prescott) up to 3.46 GHz (with HTT)

    But to my knowledge the Toshiba doesn't support any replacement of the CPU. That's why you get no guarantees that the laptop will only work stable after replacing the CPU.
    You should consider overheating problems after upgrade CPU. The fact is that faster CPUS produce more heat and therefore increase the temperature.

    The modem uses a virtual com port. It s not a real port.
    I wonder why it usually happens after the installation of the new operating system, you must install drivers Toshiba together in the right order
    Installing the chipset utility is important

    The modem driver should do the work and you n t need to activate com ports
    Please choose the right side of the page of the Toshiba driver modem driver after installing the OS correctly. I think that's the key

  • Satellite A30 - sudden power loss

    2 times recently my A30 suddenly just cut dead, almost like a power cut (even if it wasn't!). If I tried to re - start right away it would only have access to the login screen and then completely cut out again. If I leave then for an hour or two (cool?), it starts OK. Oddly enough, you do NOT receive the usual message "windows was not shut down properly, now check the drive for errors," i.e. it booted up just normally, however the 2 I was working on documents Word have been recovered OK.

    My feeling is that it may be a hardware failure, possibly related to the temperature? Someone out there you have ideas? Thanks in anticipation...

    Hello

    It could be an overheating problem. If the temperature drops to the critical limit for the operating system stops the unit. It is a thermal protection of the portable Toshiba.
    Well, the overheating problem is a very serious problem. I recommend to check for dust cooling fans. Try to clean it with the vacuum cleaner.
    If the problem persists then you should contact the service partner.

  • ".dll" and problems with my satellite A30 101 Power Saver

    Hello world

    Who can help me, I have two doubts. The first is, I don't always get on three messages when it starts. Will take you to my second problem. The power mangement. It is said 'E-Power Power Management' when I click ok, another message comes to say, '... No data. The Toshiba Power Mgmt system is no longer appearing in the Notification bar. It does not work.

    What can I do about these difficulties?
    Thank you

    Dejen

    Hello

    You forget to mention what are the names of the dll-files :). But still, even with the names he cannot drive anywhere. First suggestion: run a full! ScanDisk on your primary partition (usually drive c :)). The lost files could come from the fact that your data are damaged somehow. Second, try to uninstall the Add/REMOVE program section powersaver module in the control panel. After you have uninstalled, try to install again.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A100-998: continue Error Message «Power surge on USB hub»

    Hello world.

    I am the new owner of a Satellite A100 laptop that has a little problem.

    When the laptop goes into mode and the monitor shutsdown, energy saving when I turn on the computer again, I always get an error message will appear in the system tray. The message says: peripheral USB A "Power surge on Hub Port" exceeded the limits of its hub port power. To solve the problem, click this message.

    First of all, I have 4 USB ports, but NONE of them are used. There's nothing attached to the laptop at all.
    Secondly, when I click on the box, I get 5 unknown USB devices shown with the yellow question mark next to them in the list and 3 unused ports, which seem to be ok, with no yellow question mark.

    Why is happening, with no device attached, or even installed on the laptop.

    Your help to solve this problem will be more appreciated.

  • Satellite A30 921: XP does not detect the Firewire IEEE 1394 port

    I have a satellite A30 921.
    There I link port aswell. My problem is that im trying to connect my camcorder dv via I LINK and this is the first time since I bought this laptop. But XP won't dectecting it.

    Can someone help me on this problem?

    Hmm, it seems that the satellite A30 921 supports really 4pol IEEE1334 Firewire/iLink interface. Therefore, it should be possible to connect your external camcorder without big problems.

    May I ask if you are using Win XP with SP2 preinstalled?
    You should do it.

    AFAIK the SP2 contains a bug which has affected the firewire port.
    But it has been resolved with the additional patch. Check this box:

    + * Performance of 1394 devices may decrease after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2 * +.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/885222

    I also recommend to check the firewire port in Device Manager.
    It would be desirable to remove it from the list of Device Manager, then restart the laptop for reinstalling the port once more.

  • With Satellite A30 power problems

    Hello

    Over the last four years, I have been using a Satellite A30 with XP Pro... had no problems whats so ever until that last months... I started to notice the battery life becomes lower before (prob because of the decrease in battery life) but also when he is on the grid it will charge the battery to 100% but instead of power are removed from the sector It starts to drain the battery even when the sector is connected.

    Another problem is that I have to keep or stop the laptop goes into hibernation mode so it can recognize it is powered from the battery to load... even in this case, it may take several attempts for the laptop to begin to charge the battery...

    These problems started start after warranty, and was released in additional insurance coverage

    Any information or help gladly appreciate it that I fight to get assignments done University

    Thank you

    Ben

    Hi mate,

    had a similar problem with an other friend A30. After sending the machine to an ASP (certified partner), they told us that the internal charger was defective and they have offered to swap the motherboard.
    But given that the motherboard was really expensive for him he sold the machine on Ebay and bought and Satellite A200 which is a machine really well.

    I guess that the motherboard is gone...

    That's all

    See you soon

  • Satellite A30 Com3 (modem port) does not

    My port Com3, such as used by Toshiba softmodem, is nowhere to be seen, is not listed in device drivers and cannot be recognized by hyperterminal. There is an entry in the hidden device drivers where it was yellow triangular. I disabled it, but he wouldn't reactivate. There are entries in the registry for it. I've updated the BIOS.

    If I try the softmodem I get message 633 port already in use or not properly configured. My suspicion is that the port was blown by power surge on the phone line. Anyway I can test it before sliding off the coast on a service partner? Thank you
