• Question about Satellite A30-power adapter

  I own a laptop Satellite A30 and my charger just died. I have looked on the internet to buy a new one, but can not find the same model of the same brand (delta ADP-90FB REV electronics. (E) and having trouble finding something on the site Web of Toshiba.
  I found some Chargers compatible with laptops Satellite A30 on another site, but they are quite expensive (about £55). Another less expensive option?

  Hello

  Believe me: it s better to use than stuff unnamed original equipment. On the one hand, you win money and if your machine is broken due to a power adapter that gives your machine
  a wrong voltage or whatever.

  I had a great experience with my tecra 8100 a few years ago:

  My old AC was broken, so I bought one in a store, which has been declared as "corresponds to 100% and blablabla".

  Cost: $ 37

  After a while my machine freezes sometimes and for a day-> no boot.
  Then I gave my machine to fix after they have made their diagnosis, they asked, what sort of AC, I used. Heh? They explained to me, I used the AC adapter was not a constant voltage,
  If some capacitors smd-says 'goodbye '.

  You can save money, but give you him another side, believe me.

• Satellite A30 921 stops after 10 minutes

  I am the owner of a Satellite A30 921, but it stops after 10 minutes.
  I tried to change the settings for toshiba power management, but they will not work any ideas?

  The laptop turns off automatically without display of error messages?
  This can be caused by an overheating problem!

  How old is your laptop and you clean the cooling fans in the past?
  If this isn't the case, I recommend you this doing.

  To clean the fans, you can use the jet of compressed air that can be bought in most computer stores.
  The problem is that dust and debris inside of the laptop prevents cooling modules works properly, and so the temperature increases to a higher level. This leads to the farm automatically from the bottom.

  In my opinion, fans of cleaning might help with this problem.
  Good bye

• Satellite A30-213 - stops after loading Internet pages

  My satellite A30 213 stops almost everytime, when I enter a website with a lot of uploadings. The machine rotates in about a minute or two and closed its doors. I know that my RAM is only 256 KB. Is that why and in this case, what can I do about it?

  Best regards
  Janne

  Hello

  It is not easy to give a correct answer, but the fact is that 256 MB of RAM for using Windows XP Home edition is really not much. I do not know what A30 you have exactly, but some of them can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM.

  RAM modules are not more expensive and I recommend you to upgrade to 1 GB minimum. After this the laptop will have a lot more resources and will go much faster.

  Is this what can I do with it?

  Hey,.

  In my opinion, there is nothing that you can do it sounds like a bad material work because Windows installation doesn t affect the startup procedure until Windows starts so you have a hardware problem.

  What you can try is the following:

• Re: Fan is constantly running on Satellite A30

  Whenever I start my Satellite A30 the fan starts to operate in an audible manner. However, HD is about 32 to 35 ° C, according to speedfan. In addition, from time to time, the fan speeds up and gets really loud.

  In addition, sometimes the laptop just closed without any warning. I shall now put the end of the book a one bar so that air can still pass by the pc, and I feel it helps.

  I would like to stop the fan always running and to reduce its noise.

  My RAM expansion may be the reason?

  To make the A30 run better and be able to install WinXP SP3 I upgraded from 256 MB to 2.0 GB of RAM which is the maximum size of RAM according to the manual. I used the site Web of Kingston to select and buy the CPU, so I guess I bought good extensions.

  If the extension of RAM were the reason for the fan always market that would mean that if the A30 Gets the full load of RAM it's overheating. Right?

  Are there people here on the forum who had the same problem with a noisy laptop after upgrading the RAM?

  TIA

  Satellite A30 is old enough for laptop and, in my view, there may be a big problem cold air and cooling rack is full of dust. Laptop cannot be properly cooled. I opened several old notebooks and it was amazing to see how the dust was inside. I really wonder how the laptop worked

  Laptop last I opened was friends Satellite A100 (not so old as yours) and I've been irritated how fan worked on this laptop. He was so strong and ON / OFF sporadically. After cleaning it computer laptop was extremely calm and fan has worked almost constantly, but at the low level silent.

  The same was on my old satellite 1900. It was full of dust.

  Upgrade RAM or any other reason can be the reason for more power and performance. Performance notebook more runs faster and produce more heat. The critical threshold is reached laptop after suddenly OFF.

• Satellite A30 shuts down / blocks

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30 for about 2 years with no problems. Until today...

  I was chatting on MSN Messenger, but had to put my missing status and left the computer for about an hour.

  When I came back to it, the screen was all what it was when I left, but there was no control of the mouse, no whirring HARD drive away, not nothing. In fact, it seemed that he had closed the partitally without turning off the screen.

  The only way I could reboot had to turn off the power. I disconnected the battery, reconnected everything and tried to reload. I don't even have as much as Logo of Toshiba screen, click on the HARD drive, * which is normal for this machine * and off.

  I thought that maybe it was an overheating issue, then I left for half an hour and go home. This time it restarts, but the display was all out of sync. was on 800 x 600 when its usually on the following resolution. (Don't remember who he is). I ran dxdiag and he told me that there is no present display driver, as I had reloaded using the last well known record. It was not a problem, I reinstalled drivers, restarted without any problem.

  Everything was fine for 2 h with the laptop, so at this point, I don't think it was a heat issue. I went through the net, when hung just computer still once, I lost all control of the mouse, even if the optical lights on it were always activate when moved, and he seemed to stop again.

  Well, I left for 10 minutes, he came back and tried again, it started ok, but as soon as I tried to access anything, he hung up again, forcing me to press the power button to shut down.

  Sorry for the lengthy post, but can anyone shed light on this point, I use my laptop on a daily basis, and there are things about it, as I need to access.

  I hope someone can help

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is very interesting because it can happen to anyone. I really put t know which can block the laptop. On this way, we can only speculate and it is really not easy to say why this happens to concrete.

  I put t know how is your unit configured and that these (process) applications run in the background, but you can try to stop all the unnecessary stuff and see what is happening in this case. Check the Device Manager and make sure that everything is properly recognized. After that create a system restore point and in this way you can restore the system to an earlier time if something goes wrong.

  If you do not find what happens I recommend you back up the data and do the recovery procedure. On this way the unit will be own pre-installed and things like this can happen. As you know sometimes happen oddities and there is no logical explanation.

  Good luck!

• 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...

  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

  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
