• 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.

  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 - 404 - the fan does not work

  I have a Satellite A30-404 for a couple of years now, and recently I saw serious problems with my laptop.

  Let me start from the beginning:

  My laptop has been a few months, when he suddenly stopped, I contacted the helpline and they picked up the phone and fixed.
  Again, a few months later, it happens again and I call them, they tell me that the problem is caused by the dust accumulating on the radiator of the laptop.
  I used a vacuum among fans to clean dust.

  When I do that, indeed, there was a lot of dust coming out, so I made this process, I realized a few months and the laptop remained very well.

  A few months ago, when vacunuming the pc again once I heard something breaking and I soon realized that all the components of one of the fan where gone.

  Probably one of them broke and since it had to be rotated at high speed he stopped and beat all the others. So I had 2 broken fans 1. I realized that in the long term that my processer could be destroyed because it did not good cooling. Since then the processer would become very hot and consumes much more energy than normal.

  Now, I also have the problem that whenever I turn on the pc it starts slowly draining battery (its plugged into the power supply). It's like I have a giant battery, the laptop power and eventually it will turn off. I also tried to boot the pc with no battery at all and it works very well for a while, but then it turned off suddenly. I try to turn on the pc and after 1 or 2 seconds it stops again. I don't know if its related to the fact that the processor is damaged boats.

  I talked to a lot of people in order to get the fixed fan but they say it can become very expensive since its hard getting the same fan. And by the way, when I work on the computer with only the battery that it depends on almost an hour

  Any suggestions? Help, please

  EDIT: I turned of the auto in hibernation when the battery is low to see what is happening, the energy of the battery indicates 0%, but the laptop stays on.

  Hello

  Well, you should be cautious if you use the vacuum cleaner to clean the fans. It is risky!
  Extra ball bearings might damage if the fans turn too fast.

  So if you have no experience with these procedures you should t do.
  The person with the experience as a technician workbook must clean the fans and cooling modules.

  I agree with Doomlord, and it seems that you need a new cooling module.

• Satellite A30 - after the BIOS update I can not install any OS

  Hey everybody

  I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A30 PSA33E. I update my old BIOS and 1.7 and now I have a problem: I can not install any OS on my PC because it stops whenever I try to install. After 50 tests, I installed a Windows SP2, but my PC turns off always.

  My CPU is at 100% after I launch mozilla so I guess my problem is the BIOS. I try to install v1.8 BIOS and is not working and I get an error (not compatible with the installed BIOS)

  Where can I find the 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 ROM BIOS? Can someone help me please?
  THX

  The latest version of the BIOS should not cause this kind of thing. Have reset you the BIOS to its default settings?

  Have you checked the CPU radiator for an accumulation of dust? A can of compressed Air can help remove dust through the vents.

  What was the reason that you updated the BIOS, in the first place? Had previous problems with the system?

• Satellite of swapping screen LCD L850-150 to another with more resolution?

  Hello

  I am owner of a Toshiba L850-150, with a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 and I want to know if it is possible to change the Lcd display to another with more resolution, say a panel that is capable of displaying a resolution of full HD 1920 * 1080.

  I think that the graphics card has enough power to deal with. (No pun intended)

  Hello

  Graphics chip is able to handle a higher resolution, and I think it should be possible to change the LCD screen.
  You certainly need a 15.6 LCD.

  But the new LCD isn't cheap part I mean isn t better buy an external monitor and connect the laptop to the such full HD screen?

• Satellite A30 was the subject of a cutting and does not start again

  Hello

  In the past two months my Satellite phone has been 'cut' operating environment. It seemed to me that the cooling fans were constantly running at high speed and the air coming out of the (output) rear was warmer then normal.

  I visually inspected the ports of entry at the bottom of the envelope and they do not appear to be blocked by dust or whatever it is. Yesterday, during 'Disc clean-up', he cuts and just wouldn't start again.

  When I try to start the system, the following events happen: first, the "Toshiba" appears as always and then after a few seconds it replaces the logo 'loads Windows' as usual. Then after a few seconds it makes a funny 'click' sound, a blue screen appears for a split second and the system stops again.

  My initial problem could have a overheating? If something has been permanently damaged now?

  I would appreciate any input!

  Hello

  First of all, please give us more details about your model of laptop. It is always important.

  > After a few seconds, he made a funny sound "click", a blue screen appears for a split second
  Looks like a malfunction of the drive HARD and do not overheating what do you think?

  Have you tried to format the whole HARD drive and reinstall the OS from the restore CD? In my eyes, you should first check this possibility.

  But as you probably know nothing is impossible in the word computer laptop and wide. ;) then maybe it s overheating in such a case, the laptop must be professionally checked by a qualified technician.

• Satellite Pro U300 - the broken LCD screen

  Hi all

  My first post please bare with me.

  I have a Satellite Pro U300, who has a broken LCD screen.
  I have a replacement screen, but not sure how to go abouts it change places.

  Someone at - it a service manual for this model or the tricks and tips on how to disassemble the unit to swap the LCD broke with a new one?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  The service manual can be downloaded. It s not for the public and it s only for Toshiba and approved providers available I think.
  On the Toshiba site, you can download the user manual, but I doubt it would be useful for you.

  I think the best way would be if you go to an authorized service provider. The exchange of the LCD is a little tricky and you should have experience with this.
  On the Toshiba site, you can search for an ASP. I m sure that the technicians will help you. ;)

• How to clean the cooling modules Satellite A30

  How can I clean the fan overheating? I can't open my laptop (Satellite A30) on the back for a screw is damaged. is there an alternative?

  * {color: #000000}
  Thanks for your comments! {color} *.

  You can use a jet of compressed air to clean the cooling fans.
  This air jet can be bought from most of the dealers for laptop and computer.

  Then you could try blowing through the vents to get rid of dust and debris.
  For the most part this procedure simply help!

  If the laptop overheats again, contact a technician for laptop for further assistance.

• Satellite A30 generic fault

  Hello

  I have four Toshiba Satellite A30 in the workshop at the moment and all have the same defect.

  The machines are:
  1 - satellite Pro A30
  2 - satellite A30
  3 - satellite A30 921
  4 - satellite A30-931

  All four machines behave as follows:

  Once the power adapter is connected to the power supply and charging the battery LED come. When the machines are turned on the battery charge LED goes out, they then continue to start, but it stops after a short time. A few times that I was able to boot into windows XP and checking the condition of the battery, the machine is running on battery power only, even if the AC adapter is plugged in. Meanwhile, power is on, but the battery charge LED is not.

  After some research, this problem seems to be a common one, but I still have to find a solution.

  Does anyone know a fix for this problem.

  You have enough old machines.
  Do you use all of them with original AC adapters that you got with these machines, or maybe, do you tests with clean (Universal) adapter and test with each machine?

• Satellite A30: Cannot detect internal modem

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30. The internal modem was working fine until a few months ago, when I moved to town. Now my computer can not detect the modem at all. Please help me!

  Hello

  What you can see in the Device Manager? Is there a yellow exclamation?

  Alternatively, you can try to install the modem on this path:
  Control Panel > modems Options and > Modems. If there is no Modem didn't try to install by clicking on the Add button. Follow the instructions in the Add Hardware Wizard.

  If you can again see Modem, check all the settings in the properties of the modem (for example the adjustment wheel) and dialing rules. Is your well configured Dial-up connection (country, area code)?

  Remove the Internet connection and make it again with the Network Setup Wizard. It is very important.

  Good bye

• Satellite A30: For those inventive keyboard problem

  Hello

  My problem is that I spilled juice on my Satellite A30. Since MN then. keys on the keyboard do not respond. I think it has to do with the fact that the juice having disappeared left a sort of insulation under the buttons. I wonder if anyone can advise me on the following:

  1. How can I remove the keyboard off Satellite A30? The manual does not give an indication on it.

  2. is it possible to remove faulty buttons, clean the surface below them and put back them without any problem? I heard that once removed laptop keyboard buttons cannot be placed back correctly.

  3 should. what solution I use to clean the remains of juice? My only idea is to use some sort of soapy solution.

  4 wouldn't be allright just to put the keyboard without removing faulty buttons in a solution and keep it for a while until all the juice remains are taken away? The keyboard let completely dry and replace in place? Or, maybe there is a way to disassemble the keyboard in order to break the circuit so that it can be cleaned without worries?

  I hope you people help me get through this question cause I don't want to spend a fortune on a new keyboard, as people in the service center possibly won't bother to clean up my keybard and will just get away with ordering a new.

  OK, thanks for your ideas and consideration.

  Hello

  If the buttons just does not have the "n" and am ' ones, then you may be able to clean adequately without the need to disassemble your A30.

  First, you need to remove the covered buttons involved. To do this gently prising upward from the bottom edge of each button (use the SPACEBAR as a rest for a small flat blade so that you can lift buttons up. Once the keys are deleted (not to lose) you will be able to see the cantilever spring mechanism that makes electrical contact when you press it. Carefully clean the area with a small cotton swab (or even a small brush) and a lot of alcohol isoproyl (or an electrical contact, cleaning solution). I hope that this will restore the normal operation of the keys.

  To replace the top key locate top edge first and lower aid in position and apply progressive pressure the bottom of the key top until your feel/hear a 'click '.

  If all else fails, then you need to replace the keyboard, but fortunately, they are not too expensive (about £65 I remember well).

  Good luck

• How to replace the battery CMOS on Satellite A30 504?

  I have big problems with my satellite A30 504... it does'nt see the HARD disk at startup, my only solution was to press the power button for many times so far.

  My HARD drive is ok so I think that the problem comes from the cmos battery, but I do not know how to find out what type it is and how to replace.

  (PS. Sorry my English, I'm not an English speaker)

  Hi Adrian

  Battery CMOS is always placed in an uncomfortable position and to swap the battery of the device must be removed. If you didn t done this before please don t do this alone. One small mistake and you can damage a plastic cover of the unit.

  I recommend contacting the service and allow them to do this for you. It costs a little, but you will be sure it will be done on the professional track. When the unit is disassembled it can also be cleaned of dust.

  Back to HARD drive: how you know HDD is not faulty?

• What are the compatible motherboards for Satellite A30 213

  Hello

  This is my first post, I hope someone can help me!

  I have a laptop A30-213, which requires a new main Board.
  Can someone tell me that other models in this series have compatible motherboards?
  I note there are a few on Ebay but no saying specifically A30-213.

  Of course, it would have to take in the envelope for my A30-213 and have connections in the same place.
  Not worth on the processors as I assume that these can be swapped?

  Thanks in advance!

  Keith

  Hello

  You can only use a motherboard which has been designed and produced specially for a series of A30.
  You can use the Board designed for Equium/Satellite A30 / Pro A30.

  New Board of Directors can be ordered on an ASP in your country, but the new boards a not cheap. You know

  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
