• 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.

• Satellite A30: when the adapter is connected the battery stops charging

  Using a Satellite A30 about three years. Recent problem is that while the power adapter is plugged the battery stops in charge, the orange battery indicator turns off.

  If you look at the power management utility battery poweer bed On Line, % of discharge meter

  So he can load either, I have to turn the machine off (completely or to hibernate) then remove the power cable and reintegrate them, then the battery light turns on. When restart the battery will begin charging for a while, and then for no apparent reason in defence start.

  If left reaches 0% battery - the machine continues to operate when the power cable is connected so its power do ok, but of course starts to beep when it goes below 10%. To get it going again, I need to stop and restart etc.

  I have checked the bios and have the latest version.

  I cleaned around the outlet heat exchanger and deleted all the fluff.

  I use a generic adapter that the original does not, but as far as I can tell its working normally.

  All thoughts

  Hi Richard,

  Your problem is caused by a bad connection where the power adapter is connected to the Jack at the back of your laptop. A slight movement of the cable causes a momentary loss of contact and electronics of management power in Notepad is deceived into beleiving that the battery is no longer available, in which case when the battery goes out and the laptop will return to the battery power even if the AC adapter is connected. As you have already discovered, turn off the laptop will be all back to normal.

  I have experienced the same situation with my A30-141 and have not yet found one solution other than to resort to power off the laptop computer, but I managed to avoid the problem occurs by pinching the cable ca at the back of the laptop so that there is no risk of power do not connect the bending in order to trigger the problem in the first place. This has been a remarkable success to date, and I didn't have a problem for several months now.

  Obviously, it is not a "cure" for the problem but the frustration it causes.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A30 crashes when starting the Bios when you insert a USB

  My A30-104 laptop hangs when starting the bios, whenever I insert a USB key into the USB port.
  The only message that appears at the bottom of the screen and the message is something like this:
  Press F12 for the boot configuration or F12 for...

  Pressing F2 or F12 does not change the start state.
  Note that Microsoft XP Home SP2 is installed on the machine.
  No idea why startup is suspended?

  Thank you

  Maybe the laptop tries to start the USB, but it is not possible to
  It's just a suggestion, but I remember that something similar happened to a friend of mine.
  The printer is connected to the USB and the laptop could not start in the OS.

  Well, maybe we can solve this problem on the laptop you by changing the boot order in the BIOS.
  Please enter the BIOS and change the order on the disk HARD - CD - etc.
  Make sure that the HARD drive was chosen first

• Satellite A30 - battery discharges when connected to the network

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me!
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30. He has recently started to discharge the battery when it is connected to and running off, the sector. If the screen icon shows current alternative (mode full power), but the % of the battery decreases by 5% per minute.

  The battery on the laptop light is off. If I turned off the pc, the light will go orange, load. When I restart, it stays orange for a few seconds, then turns off again.

  Is this a problem with the battery or load main, or something else? Please help, this is driving me crazy, that I keep having to turn it off to recharge!

  Thank you very much

  I think battery is responsible for this. Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, so I guess the battery is the best.
  Remove the battery and check the label of the battery. You will find the exact reference. using this part number, you can order new battery for your laptop satellite.

• Satellite A30 stops when you run Norton

  Hello. I have a Satellite A30 which crashes when trying to run Norton.

  Spec: Satellite A30, Win XP Home SP1, 512 MB RAM, 3 + Ghz processor.

  We also noticed that the fan seems to be "fully enlightened", even when he's just sitting on the desktop with any of the applications that are running.

  Any ideas?

  We noticed that there was a notification for install of XP SP2, so we clicked on that. He started to install, the fan is even harder, it crashed again and now there is no notification of XP SP2!

  We are sure that this is a problem of overheating or battery, but we wonder what we can do about it.

  I hope someone can help. Thank you.
  Nath.

  Hello Nath

  As far as I know that satellite A30 is about two years old and agree to your description, I assume that the unit needs to be cleaned. I have Satellite P20, also more than two years, and for a short while I cleaned. You can't imagine how much dust was inside. I have a cat at home and I think half of the cat hair was inside.

  After cleaning, the laptop can take a breath and it works more silent. Now, I am very satisfied. I can just recommend you to do the same.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A30 161 does not work when the battery is installed

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Satellite A30-161. The laptop works perfectly without the battery installed. With the battery installed and the AC adapter plugged the power supply and battery (light orange) are turned on.

  When turn on/off, as soon as WXP loaded the battery light turns off and the laptop turns off. With battery only laptop does not start. There is no dirt on the heat sink and it doesn't seem to be a problem with the connector DC and power lights still on.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  This behavior is not easy to give an accurate diagnosis, but according to your description, I assume that there is a problem of electronic power supply. Just using special diagnostic tool, it is possible to check if there is a problem serious.

  To be honest, I don't think you can do it alone. The only thing you can try is to test it with new battery. Maybe you should contact the service authorized in your country. talk with them and you will see what they say.

• No lights when the LAN cable is connected by Satellite A30-141

  Hello

  I put t know which lamps do you mean because I don t find any LAN LEDs on this laptop. In case you I would recommend checking the status of LAN card in Device Manager. Check if this card has been properly recognized and if there is no yellow exclamation point.

  In addition, I put t know what you expect. If you connect the LAN cable to the laptop from the LAN icon in the taskbar should usually shows the connected state of LAN cable (NO red x). If you do not see this icon please activate this option in the properties of LAN.

  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 much HARD disk activity when you connect

  Help!

  My A30 makes disk workloads when resume after power off tension/setting Hibernate / standby that makes it really, really slow to do anything. Sometimes, it can take up to 15 minutes before any useful work can be done.

  What it does and how it can be stopped?

  Hello

  As Tobi said, you should check the operating system for some spyware or viruses.

• New CD/DVD drive is not properly recognized on Satellite A30

  Hi all

  I just bought a new CD-RW/dvd-r for my Satellite A30 disk drive, and it does not recognize the new drive. It is certainly compatible (the player itself is the SD-R2412), but when I go to 'my computer' there is no cd drive it at all.

  I have the feeling that it could be something to do with the code of the device in Device Manager, but I don't know how to change, what is the new number, or even what to do.

  Can someone help me? -Is it something to do with the Device Manager, drivers or something else?

  Thank you, Jon

  Edit: I noticed there are a few other people with the same problem - but it is a different cause. For most people than what happens when the software is installed, and when they enter the Device Manager there is a yellow exclamation point.

  However - this is not the case for me. This is a new piece of hardware, and there is no yellow triangle in my device manager. I think it's the wrong device i.d. as I changed the drive itself - but do not know how to go for the implementation, so that the computer makes this new record

• How to remove password BIOS (Satellite A30) - Please help

  Hello. In the company I work, there is a Toshiba Satellite A30 having a BIOS password.

  I was asked to remove the password and, inside the BIOS, I was able to clear the password (at least that is what I thought at first):

  BIOS asked the current password and I typed, then requested a new password and I just pressed the ENTER key, and when I was asked to retype the new password I pressed ENTER again.

  After that, I saw that BIOS showed "PASSWORD (clear)" and I saved the changes and exit.

  To my surprise, I was asked a password even once, I just pressed the ENTER key and it showed an "INCORRECT PASSWORD" message and the same message when I type the old password!

  I don't know if there was a password of Toshiba when the computer was purchased, but the manual that I downloaded here does not mention that.

  Is there a way to fix this? I do not understand what can happen!

  VERY GOOD THANKS in ADVANCE and thanks again for reading.

  [Edited by: admin August 6 05 08:27]

  Hello

  If the correct password is not for you there is no way to remove them. It can be removed only by the authorized service partner. Please contact them and they will do it for you. I guess it can't be expensive.

• Satellite A30: Card sound & Chipset driver problem.

  Hi all
  I'm about to get REALLY crazy! I would really appreciate if someone can help me...

  My story is:
  I lost all my CD recovery & pilot who gave me in 2004. But I had to format my pc this weekend due to many reasons of system (bugs, unable to connect to the net, etc.).
  My first step was to Toshiba site, I downloaded all kinds of drivers for Satellite A30. And I had XP Professional SP2 from my friend and installed it. But after completing all the facilities below is the result:

  (1) NO. SOUND :(

  2 points to mark on the 2 points that are a) multimedia sound controller and b) PCI Modem in Device Manager / other devices.

  (3) Chipset installation error message: Chipset Intel (r) utility installation requires platform chipsets supported by the supported operating system. Read the section of the system requirements in the Readme.txt for more information.
  So far I checked the forums my chipset has not been installed correctly, but when I try yo install the Intel chipset 895PE (csutil-sa30-xp - 5011015.zip) I downloaded download address http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com, it gives the error message and some people says to install the drivers in good order as, first install XP with SP1, and then install utilitt chipset, and then install SP2 etc... But it seems not to be easy for me...

  Really, I can repeat my FORMAT again, but in what order process...
  Thank you...

  Hello

  Just to inform that my problem has been resolved in itself :)
  I reformatted my laptop and installed new computer the original XP Pro SP2 by following the instructions.

  His problem was solved automatically, no installation utility chipset required...
  The noise problem was probably caused by lack of update Microsoft KB835221 for SP1 and KB888111 for SP2, which then was resolved with the XP of more recent origin...

  Rgrds...
