SAtellite A30-933 will switch

Help, my satellite A30-933 switch on, when powered by AC are the AC light and the light battery, battery shows as complete, press the power button, nothing happens, when I try with just the battery, some the the lights on the front flash, then go out, but nothing happens.

Everyone has ideas, tried the reinstallation of the memory, hard drive etc, but still nothing

Peter,

It sounds as if your A30 does not respect its POST (Power On Self Test) rourine. There is a microcontroller on your MB that controls feeding system and handles battery charge etc.. I suspect that it doesn't have. Unfortunately, a trip to your nearest Service partner is the only option in this situation.

  • Can satellite A30-154 - I switch to a 120 GB HARD drive?

    I have a laptop Satellite A30-514 with a 30 GB hard drive which has done a great job.

    Is it possible and easy to switch to 120 GB and pointers to the best HARD drive to use?

    Thank you very much

    Hello!

    As far as I know the laptop is equipped with IDE HDD's. This means that there is a limitation of LBA 28 bits and you can use up to 128 GB s HDD.
    If the upgrade to a 120 GB model should work fine.

    You can buy a disk of each production, but I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

  • Satellite A30 554 will turn off by itself.

    My Satellite A30 554 for a reason any began to turn off on its own after working for a while or even during startup. This happens both in Win XP and SUSE 10.0. I used the CD recovery to format the entire hard drive and reinstall the system and even during this computer just turned off, so it's sort of a problem material I think. Suddenly, this thing started to happen as early as last week. I have also had problems with before starting - just get a black screen instead of system startup, but usually remove the battery and put the rank or start once helped. Computer two years ago, and I think the warranty is over. What may be the cause of the problem and what can I do now to solve?

    Hello

    Sometimes the notebooks closed because of overheating problems. There are a few reasons why units overheat. One of the reasons is the Sales cooling fans. Fans don property t work because of dust inside the laptop. In this case, I recommend to check the ventilation openings and clean it. You can use the vacuum to suck up dust.

  • Satellite 1900-303 will switch

    For some reason, my Satellite 1900-303 lights no more.
    The old battery would claim to be charged and yet it wouldn't turn on.

    I bought another battery, but this has not yet resolved the problem.

    Can anyone help?

    Connect the laptop to the AC adapter?
    Please note that a new battery is not charged and before you will be able to use this battery you need to load!

    If the AC adapter is plugged in but the laptop does not start always then you must remove the battery, unplug the AC and must wait about 15-20 min.

    After this short period connect everything again and try to start the laptop!
    If it does not help there is not a lot to make :(
    In most cases, the hardware failure causes these questions and help of the technician is needed!

    Hello

    I studied a bit in the internet and found information that this laptop is ready WLan. Then you should be able to update.
    But I put t understand your problem: not being able to use the FN + F8 option or you you are not able to activate the map with the switch on the side of the laptop?

    I think that the pine flooring is not a good idea, because if the wireless adapter is compatible and supported it should therefore works without any problem.

    Well, found a compatible Wlan card and it should be a Wireless LAN Card Kit PA3212U-1MPC.
    I think you should use the right card Wlan!

  • Satellite A300-16I will switch on

    Hello!

    Like two weeks ago, I bought an A300-16I. Everything worked well, but today, when I was working on my battery (only work with Word), my laptop swichted. My battery is almost empty, so I thought that was the cause. But when later I tried to restart my laptop, it would not start (and then I worked on electricity)

    I also saw all the lights to my laptop, for electricity.
    Tomorrow I'll get in touch with Toshiba and may be returned, but maybe it's just a little problem, I can solve it myself.

    I'm not really good with computers, so maybe one of you had any idea what the problem is or if there is anything I can try.

    Thank you

    Maud

    Yes, maybe it s only a small problem and I maybe can help you.

    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Wait several minutes (about 30 min), and then reconnect the two parts.

    Try to power the laptop and check if it will start.
    If it doesn t help I m afraid the ASP technician will check this baby

    Perhaps, the Bios is damaged and need to be reflashed

    The hard drive can be a troublemaker. To be honest, it is not easy to say what is really happening through this forum. It can turned off because of overheating, clean the tower with air jet

  • Satellite A30 will not run on sector, only on the battery

    My Satellite A30 battery recharges the AC adapter when the laptop is turned off, but when I turn on, the laptop runs only the battery and no power outlet. I get a green light indicating that the AC adapter is plugged in but no battery light. The symbol power tells me that it is on the power supply (Full Power Mode). Sounds like something horrible inside.

    Any ideas?

  • Satellite A30 WLAN

    Hello
    I have a laptop Satellite A30 and I am not sure there is a wireless lan card or not. It has a switch on the left side, but the Device Manager does not detect the card. Installation of the driver fails also.

    In other posts, I read that some people can say with certainty if a laptop has a factory installed wireless card if they know the series and model number.

    Where can I find this kind of database so that I can see for myself.

    If this kind of database access is restricted, here is the info on my laptop:

    Z3350805K
    PSA30E-1CUSC-GR

    Or even you can tell by looking at the model or if laptop serial number has a wireless through a special marking card?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi, cancel,

    If the wireless network adapter is not detected in Device Manager, that certainly is not inserted into your laptop. Information about the wired communication of your NB you can find on
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com. under the heading products you can find your model.
    You will find also adapted Wireless Card. Go in the Option & Accessories > Communications and he has seen overall on the Communication Options.

    For example, I found there the following information:

    -Satellite A30 (-101-103,-504,-554) - map appropriate is Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card (802. 11 b / g) with the number of PA PA3300U-1MPC.

    For more information, please contact your Toshiba Service partner.

  • I inserted the wireless network card, but it does not work on Satellite A30

    Hello please, be gentle, lol.

    I have a Satellite A30, no manuals, disks etc. of second hand.
    I had to buy a wireless card and installed it myself (error?).

    The card is an Intel P/N: PA3362U 1MPC.

    My is... have issue I installed it properly (see below), and can someone point me in the right direction for the correct driver?

    (Correct?) installation... .clipped perfectly in the slot in the compartment in the base of the laptop. Two sons rolled? one longer than the other?
    I plugged them as follows... more long wire to THE & shorter wire by HAND (on map)? Does this sound correct?
    How could I not if it works?

    The LED does not illuminate when the wifi switch is on?
    Is it normal when the driver not installed? FN + F8 has no effect? Again the ths is normal without driver installed?

    Thank you in advance, I'm completely stuck here... Matt

    Hello

    The PA3362U 1MPC seems to be a network wireless Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG MiniPCI Type 3b card. I think it is s ok and should be compatible.

    The WLan driver should be found here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/
    Take the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 driver.

    > I plugged these as follows... more long wire to THE & shorter wire by HAND (on map)? Does this sound correct?
    I put t know which wire is short or long, but the two sons are different in color.
    Should the white cable goes to the hand and Brown to the auxiliary voltage

    You should check if the other FN keys work correctly. If other n t FN keys work then Fn + F8 does not work too

  • Cannot activate the WLan on Satellite A30 card

    I have a satellite A30.
    In the manual, I had with the laptop it says that some models have a built in wireless. My computer has an on/off switch for the wireless, but I was not able to activate it.

    How will I know if this model wireless connection will work.

    I downloaded the drivers of this wireless Web site. After having unpacked the file, I found that there is no installation instructions or an executable file.
    What I do with the unzipped files.

    Just a note, I have a belkin wireless router and my laptop computer A30 wireless for now but I need an adapter big clumsy network plugged into a USB port

    Any help appreciated

    Thanks Mark.

    Hello Mark

    First, you must be sure that your camera comes with the wireless network card. You can check this on two tracks. The first is to check the underside of your laptop. Each camera comes with WLAN card has sticker WLAN. Otherwise you can check the entries in the device under network adapters Manager. If the unit has WLAN card that it will be there.

    As far as I know the WLAN for Satellite A30 card is optional and if the device has no card on board you can buy a compatible or use external as WLAN USB stick cards or PCMCIA WLAN cards.

  • Satellite A30 product recovery CD

    I need to restore the HD of Satellite A30 of my boy.
    He gave me that one DVD 'product Recovery DVD-ROM'
    He is also says "2/2", which I suppose that it is disk 2 of 2.

    This DVD is not bootable. so I guess there could be a disk of 1/2 which is bootable and contains the basic recovery program.

    My question: am reason above supported and if yes, where can we get the first DVD, since my boy seems to have lost it.

    Thanks for any help.

    Peter

    Hello

    You are right! There must be a n ° 1/2 recovery DVDs!

    If you (or your son) have lost it, you can order a new one for every Service Toshiba partner. You only have to sign a solemn declaration for MS that you have lost the CD!

    Hello

    your Satellite A30 - 151 built in a softwaremodem with an Askey chipset (Agere).

    I think the solution is to re-download the modem driver and test.

    Go to http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/

    and click on Download & Driver.

    After downloading, you will need to unzip the file and start the installation. Another way to install the driver is the .inf. file, go to the Control Panel, system, hardware and Device Manager. Then go into the question mark that is the modem, and tell the driver. Here you have to choose to do it manually and when the wizard you asks to search for the file, go to the folder driver and click the file inf. complete the wizard and the pilot should work

  • 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
