Satellite A30 switch of the battery, while the AC is plugged

I've had my A30 for 3 years now, but recently it has begun to move to the power of the battery while it is still plugged into current alternative. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hello

In my opinion, there are two possibilities:
First the adapter has a fault or cable is broken and there is sometimes power fluctuations.
The second possibility could be bad connection between AC and power plug on the laptop or between the power supply and the motherboard.

However, I don't think you have enough experience to solve alone. I recommend you contact the ASP in your country for the control of the laptop.

    Hello!

    If it is possible to replace the Toshiba Satellite A30 2.6 GHz memory, on * DDR400 * instead of * DDR333? *

    Thank you.

    Hi liwil

    If you want to know how fast your FSB is then install a free diagnostic such as Everest home edition tool.
    Here you can check how fast the FSB supports and if it s worth to use faster memory modules.

    Generally, it is possible to use modules faster but as that proposed by Luke the FSB might slow down the speed.

  • Wireless kit PA3298U-1MPC and Satellite A30 - where is the antenna cable?

    Hello
    I have Toshiba Satellite A30 (part No. PSA33A - 87 M 34) which was bought in Australia.
    I just bought the PA3298U-1MPC wireless connection kit a couple of days. The installation guide says I should connect two cables. But I can't find them. There are no cables in the compartment. There are no antennas in both wireless kit.
    So the first question is if I should have antennas in wireless kit (I'm not sure that he has not lost the seller).
    If these cables must be in Notepad then I need help to find them.
    I thank very you much for any help.

    Hello

    If the unit has a wireless antenna, the cables are usually there and visible immediately when the lid of the WLAN card is removed. From your description, I assume that your device is not ready WLAN.

  • Satellite A30 - question about the CPU temperature

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A30 (model name: SA30-151, model number: PSA33E). I had the usual problems with overheating and closing, where I had to clean the radiator.

    My question is, how hot the CPU must sit at and what temperature is dangerous?

    I installed 'Hardware sensors Monitor' and the average temperature is about 55 c, but I saw it happen at 70 c when I'm pushing it.

    I was not able to find something on the net about it and I can't find information on the Toshiba site.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks...

    The same temperature is on my Tecra M1. Believe me, there's really no reason to panic.

  • Windows XP cannot be installed on Satellite A30 after replacing the hard drive

    Hello
    you have a problem with my satellite A30 - hard drive has been corrupted (due to accumulation of dust on the cpu!) and I replaced it with a 100 GB hard drive.
    Tried the 'recovery cds', but get an error message 'error #1537 file greater than 4 billion number' and recovery has been abandoned halfway after inserting the third cd. The XP Home operating system does not install completely. Any suggestions?
    Thank you very much for your help, has soon
    NJ

    Hello

    already tried the recovery process more then once? If so, the error appears at the place of installation? You said that you have installed a new hard drive but actually you have formatted the hard drive before you perform a full restore? That would be really helpful, sometimes recovery is suspended because the disk formatted or partitioned before luckily.

    You should really try. One way would be to use the "UBCD4Win' which is a Windows Live CD with really good tools. Format your hard drive with this CD and retry the recovery. Maybe it works...

    Here´s the link to the CD "UBCD4WIn": www.ubcd4win.com ".

    Bye and good luck

  • Satellite P10 switch randomly between battery and AC

    I have a satellite P10 who had some problems of strange power for about a year now.

    My laptop switch to the power of the battery even when it is plugged. I will then either use the computer until the battery runs out and turned it off or Hibernate in until the battery may charge.

    I thought that I had fixed by downloading and installing a new Bios from the toshiba site, which seemed to work for a while, but now it the problem seems to have returned.

    I also bought a new battery and the bar of power, thinking that was the problem... but it does not solve the problem.

    Someone else out there with similar problems, or a method to solve this?
    any thoughts would be great.

    Hi man,

    I had similar problems with my machine, so you can check some things:

    -When the CA is connected, then move him soft in all directions, there are maybe a few micro cracks on the AC connector.
    -try to boot your machine without the battery, your motherboard charging system is may be defective
    -Discover an another AC adapter, maybe the CA is defective

    If you encounter some strange phenomena as power cuts or no charge while you perform this action above, then you have definitely a hardware problem and you will need to contact your local dealer or the service partner for the other instance.

    So I had to do, and it's a faulty motherboard.

    Hope I could give you some ideas.

  • Screen hangs on the Satellite A30-931 - perhaps the Bios may be damaged

    Hello

    Sometimes the screen of my laptop freezes and the only way to restart is to restart my laptop.
    However this morning, after that my screen has crashed the resumption of hibernation, I found that I couldn't start my computer.
    I was getting a blank screen which was not illuminated. DVD player responded, the fan worked and the computer was not over heating.

    Finally, after several minutes of waiting, I was able to start windows. However, when the screen went white, before Windows Welcome screen appears, it crashed. Later, I was able to load windows, but the screen froze while he was always load the settings.

    There is little time, I entered the bios and after 4 minutes and 25 seconds, lines and purple small flickering blocks appeared on the screen and I couldn't do anything. The bios clock gave midnight 01/01/2002, so I think he may have corrupted.

    I find my bios which is 1.7 - PSA33E. However it seems to be a bios of windows installer only. Would it be possible to boot from the CD drive or should it XP is running, to make it work? I don't think I can get into XP quite a long time to execute and then Flash the bios, without the screen freezing first.

    Hello

    I don t think and I don t believe that the BIOS is damaged or malfunctions could

    You description is sounds more like a graphics card problem.
    Perhaps any other part of the motherboard could be too faulty. Who knows, we can only speculate

    You said it must wait a bit until the cell phone would be lights up once more, this looks more like an overheating problem.

    Usually there is no much to see the technician must check all components of the laptop. In the worst case the mobo must be replaced because the graphics card is fixed and cannot be removed separately.

    But before you contact the ASP test to clean the fans of s for laptop
    A jet of compressed air is a useful tool to get rid of dust and debris.

    If it does not then the ASP technician you are last resort then I wish you a good luck mate

  • Satellite A30: Question on the new hard drive

    The hard drive on the computer that the above has failed. When formatting the system hangs at 70%. When you run a utility to recover the hard drive again, it fails at 70%.
    I now seeks to replace the hard drive and would like to know any 2.5 "Sata hard drive (speed/brand/size) usable (no).

    I would have taken it would not be a problem, but there is no way to change the settings in the Bios, the Bios auto detects the drive when it is mounted?
    When mounting the hard drive can it be introduced inside the access panel on the back of the laptop or the entire back should be deleted?

    Thank you
    Keith.

    Hello

    Yes, the BIOS must allow and recognize the HARD drive automatically.
    One thing is important. You must pay attention to the size of the HARD drive.
    I found information that Satellite M30 supports hard disks IDE Bus Master 30 GB / 40 GB / 60 GB

    Hi Richard,

    My SA30 did exactly the same thing. I was not able to find someone who can provide just the button. The normal suggestion is to replace the whole of the touchpad. I guess that I'll just have to put up with it.

  • Satellite A30 went into the Phoenix Bios to remove password & now no access

    I entered the SECURITY zone and went to the password box, but he allowed only one change.

    So, I hit key ENTER in the field change and field confirmation.

    Now I can not at all in the laptop because it recognizes no ENTRY or the old password.

    AM desperate as need laptop in 6 hours time.

    That s odd and I have no explanation why this happened.
    Maybe you have set a password accidentally or something like that?  :|

    But the fact is that if you want to remove a unknown password, you must contact the ASP in your country.
    Only an ASP technician would be able to remove the password.

  • Satellite L40: Can I remove battery while working with AC adapter

    Could someone tell me what I need to do?

    I use laptop mainly on the sector and someone told me to get out batt.
    Is it true

    see you soon
    Doug

    Greetings
    It is generally recommended when a laptop is used mainly on the sector that the battery is removed. Excessive load is not too good for the battery. I know that there are intelligent load circuits with modern laptops, but I am a bit of a Luddite in this matter and do not trust them completely.
    Of course, it is important that you remember then replace the battery when portability is necessary...

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

    Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
    I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

    I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

    This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

    Hello

    It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
    Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
    Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.
