Satellite A300 PSAJ4e doesn't work if no battery

I have a toshiba satellite psaj4e. My motherboard (a000032270) recently died so I bought a refurbished.

After the installation of the motherboard, I noticed that when it is connected without battery, it won't start.
But with the battery, it starts but does not load when it is turned on.

If it is off or in standby mode, it charges the battery.
I also noticed that when I use the sd card reader it charges for the period where the sd light is on...

Any ideas? I can't reflash the bios cause it requires the adapter...

Maybe I'm wrong m but looks a bit like a card problem mother are you sure that the purchased motherboard is ok? I would recommend asking the dealer if this mobo has not be rehabilitated.

  • Satellite A300 - screen doesn't work sometimes

    OK so first of all, I wish to begin by saying that I am a complete noob when it comes to computers and also my native language isn't English, but I'll try my best to make you understand my problem.

    Sometimes, when I try to turn on my laptop, the screen will not work. I hear the fan turns, the little lights on the keyboard light up, but the screen remains black... what happened for like 3 days until today, I came home and it worked magically. It is this same as there is a month... What is happening? : s

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis.
    What we do here is nothing else possible speculations about the reasons.

    A300 is not the most recent model, so there may be a problem with the connection between the motherboard and the display.
    Next time when this happens, try to move the screen or gently press the laptop under the screen just to see if this will help or not.

    In the end, I must say that single service can help you with this. With other words, they can disassemble the laptop and check the display cable.

  • Re: Satellite A300 - fan does not work after installing Win7

    Hello.

    I did a new install of Win 7 pro 64-bit, and after it does not my fan, not at the start or in Windows. To check if it the fan itself was broken I re-installed Vista instead and the fan worked again!
    Installed new Win 7 but now it's silent :( I checked in the BIOS (latest version 1.80) but I couldn't find any option here. Am I missing a driver or something?

    My Satellite canned extinguishing because of this, so I would really appreciate help :)

    Hmmmm... really strange. I use Win7 32 bit on my Satellite A300-1LI and it works perfectly.
    Maybe a stupid question now, but have you tried to use the 32 bit version?

    You have also installed all the Toshiba drivers Toshiba value added package (includes the Toshiba power saver tool)?

  • Satellite A300 - motherboard does not work

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300... everything worked well, but there is a day, when I used the laptop it started working and it blocked a few seconds... I tried to turn it on again several times, but it always of the blocks...
    I gave the phone to a technician and he told me that, probably, the motherboard is broken and I have to send my computer in the center of Toshiba to fix...
    Now the problem is... the warranty period, you are finished... and they told me I have to pay for plu 60/hour, so I have to pay for the new motherboard... I worry I have to pay too much to repair the laptop and I don't know if it is better to repair or buy a new...

    What do you think guys? Does anyone know how much may the reparetion cost?
    I really like this computer, that's why I didn't buy a new still...

    Hey Buddy,

    Exact repair costs are the repair center, so I think I contact guys and ask how much it cost + just +. I think Exchange mainboard takes about an hour to have to pay 60 euros/hour + new motherboard.

    If you know the exact repair costs, you can decide which is better, but without knowing that it is difficult to say which path would be one that suits

  • Re: Satellite A300 (PSAJ4E) - Webcam driver open fail

    I had to replace the hard drive on my PSAJ4E of the A300 and when I reloaded Vista 32 and install all drivers hardware Toshiba everything went well except for a Chicony webcam.

    The side menu is there but it won't work, giving a "driver webcam open fail." "Please restart camera or computer" error.

    I updated the Bios to 4.20
    I first used the original Toshiba, the 20080428125023 webcam driver download (V1.07.175).
    I tried with 'closed the cover 3/4 '.
    I have searched and read dozens of similar problems. I've tried a few, even edit the ini setting. Nothing helps.
    I even tried drivers XP (V1.7.144.0611), 32-bit and 64-bit versions and even a driver from the gateway. Nothing seems to work for this cam.

    What now?

    I also now get "the requested section is not found in the INF file" when I try to uninstall and reinstall the driver through Device Manager.
    I have the choice of
    6.198.1.0
    6.2.208.424
    6.2.238.1217
    all give the same error...

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to give you a precise answer, especially if it happens sometimes and I think that you need professional help with this.

    There may be a connection between the keyboard and the motherboard problem.

  • Satellite A300 - Microphone does not work do not

    Hello world

    I have problem with microphone as it it does not work. Can you tell me the solution my model number of the laptop is Satellite A300...

    Thank you very much...

    NaveeN

    Hello

    Talk you about internal or external microphone?

    If you come in on the internal mic then it could be interesting how you did test you this?
    As far as I know the internal mic belongs to the internal webcam. Then, start the webcam software and record a small video with sound.
    You can check if the sound wasn't available in this video.

  • Console buttons multimedia Toshiba Satellite A300-08WB do not work

    Hey all,.

    I reinstalled the driver and I restored my computer but the buttons backlit Toshiba multimedia Console still does not work.

    Any help appreciated.

    Cheers, Levi

    PS. would it not under warranty

    > I reinstalled the driver and I restored my computer
    This means that you have used the Toshiba Recovery disk?
    Have you created a Toshiba recovery disc at the beginning?

    I think that if you didn't use the recovery disc, then the question refers to the missing part of the driver or software

    But Satellite A300-08WB is not known to me what model number of the laptop is it?
    You can find the numbers at the bottom of the unit

  • Re: Satellite A300-1 does not work with charger

    I need help with my a300-1id .sudenly started disconecting it self.
    I have already tested memory, hard drive and the charger every time that I turn it on with the charger after 5 min, that she falls down. If I only have the batery no problem at all. So I thought its charger and bought new: same problem. I plug it on and after 5 min (usulay like 2 to 3 min) TOP it disconects it self.

    I tried reisntaol and I did (with the full battery only) and has problem with XP, VISTA, or 7.
    But when I'm working in the battery there is no blue no screens no problem AT all so I think not mainbard problem. Right?
    Fortunately we it will be something simple that I am not...

    Help! Please :)

    Hi Sandra_braga,

    I think that you have tested everything you can do, it was a good job but as Akuma wrote, I think that it s time for an authorized service provider. Maybe the DC IN socket is damaged, motherboard or something else, to check it for professional people.

    If you n t know where you can find more recent control the Toshiba site ASP. You can find a list of them online. :)

  • Installing drivers for Satellite A300 PSAJ4E XP

    I got my notebook, A300 - PSAJ4E, from Vista to Xp. The following problem occurred:

    Some drivers are installed and a couple of them did not. The following components are not installed:

    -Audio device on High Definition (2 times) - Bus (Driver Sound)
    -Controller voor massstorage - (Storage Manager)
    Controller Ethernet - (Pro network connection software)
    -Modem on Bus High Definition Audio device - (driver Modem
    -Netwerkcontroller - (Pro network connection software)
    -Unknown device
    SM-buscontroller - (?)
    -Videocontroller (VGA compatible) - (?)

    I know that I can find all the drivers on the site, so I download them all. Now for example I wanted to install the Sound Driver, and it could not be installed because the program could not find the driver.

    -Does anyone know what could be the problem?
    -Wich software do I have to install the drivers (I put the software that I thought I have to install behind the pilots)
    -How will I know what the unknown device driver is to find the right software to install it?

    Hello

    You didn t even start installing the drivers. Following your list, it may be that you have installed the driver chipset only. Try to install all the stuff in this order:
