• 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

  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

• Question about Satellite A30-power adapter

  Hello

  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?

  Thank you

  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.

• On Satellite A30 audio driver problems

  I recently had to rebuild a satellite A30 with on of the restore cd I loaded all drivers from the toshiba website, all drivers works fine except the noise. Audio drivers seem to load ok and Device Manager indicates that her works very well, Volume controls are available, but grey and not usable.

  I tried to install all the variations on these drivers, but without success.

  If someone out there can help I would be really gratefull

  Hello

  If you can hear the sound if the driver has been installed correctly and it works.
  All volume controls are grayed out?
  As far as I know on some units that some audio controllers are not available.

• On Satellite P100 power supply problem

  Hai
  I bought the new laptop Satellite P100. Suddenly it does not start (no power to notebook) and the same time, I have only checked by the only power a/c no result, also do not charge the battery. I put t know what is the reason. Can someone give suggestion?
  Thank you bye.

  If the power light is blinking there is probably a problem with the electronic power supply. In this case, the laptop sends flashes code. Read this code, technicians can identify the problem.
  Please, don't waste your time but the closest service provider contact allowed in your country.
  After 18 months of that guarantee must be valid (it depends of course on where you live) as well as the repair must be free.

  Hello

  I guess that the "0100101010" - code must be some kind of error code, but I'm not sure. But even if that's who you wouldn get information on this subject given that these technical information are kept for toshiba technicians, I guess. :)

  So, in this case, you can not do anything and just ask some laptop technician/service station for a checkup of material or a repair.

  Sorry mate, but that's all.

  Good bye

• Satellite 1410 - power on problem

  Hallo,
  I have some problems with my Satellite 1410 303.
  After the stop, without disconnecting the power supply, if I try to put the laptop by pressing the button start the laptop does not start and the orange green power led indicator lights up, indicating a power problem.
  This problem appears after updating bios and Windos XP Service Pack 2.
  Can someone help me, please?
  Thanks
  Andrea

  Hi Andrea

  The first thing you can try is to remove the battery for a short period and try to start Notepad without power supply.
  It will also be interesting to know if the laptop turns on without battery with power running. There is the problem after that, is it possible that power supply microcontroller don t work properly.

  If the orange flashing is not constant it may flash code.

• Satellite A50 power on problem

  I have a satellite A50 produced in 2004. I was getting messages flashing up on top of the problems of critical battery despite being connected. Finally the computer lost all power. Now it is quite dead, and I can't make it work on the power supply. I removed the battery and plugged, but still have no power. There is no light on any name that is not in hibernation. It seems that some internal fuse needs to be replaced, or something that prevented completely from the power of work. I have changed the fuse in the plug and tried the power outlets alternative. Any ideas?

  Hello

  Maybe there is a problem with the electronic power supply.
  In this case, the motherboard should be replaced.
  But you should ask Toshiba service to find the fault.

• Satellite M30X - power management problems does not

  Hello

  I am new to the forum and some difficulties with my power management settings.
  Don't know why, but don't can't Hibernate my system or to keep. If I go to the Start button and try to shut down the system, I can only close or restart the computer. The standby or Hibernate button is sunk in gray, not allowing to choose these options.
  I have a Satellite M30X-144 with Windows XP Home Edition.
  From what I remember, these functions were functional when I bought the computer.
  Can someone give me a help?
  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Pedro

  First of all welcome to the Toshiba Support Forum ;)
  I'll try to help you.
  Well, you can find on unit you Toshiba Power Saver tool. This tool allows to use the Hibernate and standby modus. Please go to control panel, then power saving.
  There you can find lots of options and tabs. Go to advanced. The Enable hibernate support option must be marked.
  I won t explain all the options, but check these options in this tool.

  Best regards

• Strange on my Satellite A100 power supply problem

  Hi I hope it's just me in Sun.

  I plugged my power on my laptop today and found that no power is getting to the laptop. I checked all the obvious things like the fuse and have even tested the output of the power supply with a multimeter and I get what looks like the correct voltage.

  However, when the power supply is plugged into my laptop blue "alternating current" does not and windows wants to say I'm running out of battery.

  Someone else had this problem? It is a work of repair and return? (I hope really not).

  Thank you

  Doug

  > Is this a work of repair and return
  I'm afraid, m Yes :(

  But the question is; malfunction of what part?  :|
  Maybe that your inquiry is good and everything is ok with the AC adapter / CC.
  This means that there could be something wrong with the laptop itself.

  Maybe it's only one loses the connection between the plug and the motherboard or most serious problem as a malfunction electronics power?  :|

  Who knows. It of very difficult to say what's wrong without any diagnostic tests
  I recommend you contact a technician in your country. He could check the laptop and found much faster fault as a user simply ordinary like you and me.

  Good luck

• Re: Satellite A30 - problems with SP3

  I have a Satellite A30 921. After you download the Service Pack 3 Windows the power management tools cannot either Hibernate & sleep functions. Microsoft Help said I needed to update my BIOS. However, BIOS for this laptop is not available online-not that I can find!

  What should I do? Is there an another BIOS update to use instead or I just SP2?

  Hello Jodie

  I'm not 100%, but in my opinion, there is nothing to do. Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model and, as far as I know, there is no any kind of update for SP3.
  I have Satellite M70 and always use it with SP2 because a lot of people here have reported on the various problems after the installation of SP3 and I don't want to have an any of them on my laptop.

  In any case try to check the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page. don't forget to search the ARCHIVES.

• Satellite A30 213: broken in the power supply pin

  I have so many problems with this.
  I'd rather put it in the trash than to fix it, but unfortunately I have important documents that I have not saved.

  Basically, the PIN into the Jack of the laptop is broken and I can't be able to my laptop and my battery is running out of power

  The battery is in the battery-compatible A30 - 213 in the A30 714?

  And someone has other solutions?

  Please answer as soon as possible

  Hello

  First of all a few words about the battery.
  If I m not wrong not the Satellite A30 213 uses the same battery as the A30-714.
  Therefore, you should be able to use the same battery in both units A30.

  With regard to the question on another solution.
  Well, there is only one real solution. The power supply needs to be replaced.
  I m not sure if it s only plugged or soldered on the map. However, I recommend you contact the ASP in your country for assistance.
  This should be always replaced by a mobile technician because the dismantling procedure is very delicate and difficult.

  Best regards and good luck

  I checked and remove all viruses on my hard drive, but this issue concerns me.

• Satellite A30 303: error of calibration on power mat * a UJ-811

  Hello, I have a problem with my satellite A30-303.
  I am trying to record CDs and DVDs. A month ago it gives me an error at the end of the recording. The error is 'Power Calibration Error'.
  How can I solve this?

  Thanks for the help.

  Gonçalo Rato
  Toshiba Satellite A30 303

  Hello

  I read some of the comments in this forum about power calibration error and it seems that usually only the drive replacement will solve the problem.
  One reason might be poor quality media like CD/DVD
  But please check out this site:
  http://forums.Afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/93406

  But if this error occurs with all CD/DVD media, so in my opinion, the drive should be replaced

• 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
