• Satellite A300 - restarts when I plug it into a power outlet

  Hi guys this seems to be the place to ask this question,
  My laptop is Satellite A300

  When I connect the adapter it restarts all of a sudden, if I stay on the battery, it is fine if I am running Windows and plug power will be locked up and restart. It starts so that plugged either, unless it is in safe mode. With the power of the battery (with power adapter) machine works without any problem.

  The problem (reboot) occurs when I connect to the AC adapter. I have change the power supply and tested. Remove the battery and tested. In addition, reformat and reinstall Vista and BIOS update.

  But the problem is still there, please can someone help me?

  Thank you!

  Hi icebunny,.

  Do you use an original Toshiba AC/DC adapter or a 3rd party one? This would explain why the computer restarts. Probably he doesn't use the correct specifications for voltage or intensity thus restarting the laptop.
  Did you check the characteristics of the AC/DC adapter? The lower side of your laptop, you can check which adapter AC/DC (e.g. 19V 4, 3 a) is necessary.

  Can you charge the battery when the laptop is turned off?

  At the moment I think that it s mainboard malfunction and that would mean that he must replace :(

• Satellite A300 restarts randomly when it is plugged in power chords

  I know it has been on many topics and forums before but-

  Satellite A300 Toshiba registered repairman after only another technician claimed the question was the motherboard.

  So a new hard drive had to be replaced (it was old age) by registered repairer.

  Graphics card died - map is part of the motherboard = motherboard replaced.

  Supposed to win - phone to make sure everything is well = "there still the issue."

  QUESTION = RANDOM COMPUTER RESTARTS WHEN THE POWER CORD IS PLUGGED

  Don't forget not that the shop has been informed of the initial question
  1. phone call.
  2. by myself (wife) when I dropped the camera repair
  3. in the drop by my husband via phone
  4. by myself at diagnosis
  5 once again by my man when diagnostics
  6. by my man when he discussed the hard drive with 2 people at the store options
  7. after replacing hard drive
  8. by myself when new montherboard was "mandatory".
  9. my man at the same point

  So you can imagine today is both 10th, 11th and 12th, the store has been said that they do not listen

  I got to say REGISTERED REPAIRER WHAT TOSHIBA to TROUBLE THE PROBLEM!

  NOW for my NEXT question.

  On all THE forums I have read about it, I always come back to the same answer - replace NEC/CATHERINE Proadlizer

  However, in looking at the published images and instructions I now get the image that this is part of the motherboard also. This is why I wonder how actually to our brand new motherboard installed days ago!

  If the capacitor is part of the motherboard I think which was replaced why this question is STILL being implemented?

  If not where is it located?

  At our graphics card on the old Board REALLY dead?
  Or was this like the last technician and as demonstrated - surprisingly not listening?

  All related information (and directions to give the tech) would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I'm really sorry to hear that you have such problems after Exchange of motherboard and I really don't understand why service is not properly check and test the features of the laptop.
  To discuss these issues is quite complicated because we can only speculate what may be the problem and no one can say with certainty why this happens.

  In my opinion all you can do is to do some tests and try to do a rational conclusion, but in the end service should solve the problem.

  Just a few questions about described:
  Everything is OK is when you use the power supply battery?
  How it works with power supply current when the battery is removed?
  Start the machine and enter the BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and check if computer laptop turns off again?
  What operating system do you use? Are you using the original OS that you got with the A300 or clean install of the OS?

• Satellite A300 restart when it is plugged power

  Hi all
  I see some of these problems arise in the forums and I was wondering if anyone has a solid answer as to if this is fixable or is the laptop useless now.

  Satellite A300
  No error log display software errors.
  Error recovery reports an unexpected shutdown.
  Recovered the system using that a disc of recovery on the 3rd test and the problem persists.

  Although battery-operated system is functioning properly, but the battery life is simply not long enough that the laptop is my main computer.

  The laptop is now outside its warranty period and if I can not understand that I might as well use it as a doorstop and buy something else.

  Thanks in advance for your time

  Your mobile phone is turned off, you remove the battery, connect the power adapter and switch it on. What happen next?

  I tried to update the BIOS but I can't caudln because it is difficult to udate BIOS without plugging your power adapter...

  something else, I changed my power adapter with another, but nothing has changed and I corrected my original vista OS labtob, but also nothing has changed

  can any body help my out to solve this problem

  awaiting your response

  With or without the battery, the laptop must run stable on the sector
  If it s not the case, it is possible that your motherboard is affected but I hope that's not because it would be the worst case :(

• Satellite A300-1 MB - do not charge the battery

  Hello, a friend of mine gave me the laptop a300-1 MB and it has a problem. It is not the battery.

  I changed the battery and the charger with another laptop that work well, but they have not worked in the mine, but the only way to charge the battery must have the laptop off, put the ac charger, remove the battery and reconnect the battery. Then he is in charge. In which case I have remove the charger and connect it to the laptop it stops again loading.

  are there solutions to this?

  Hey,.

  If you can only charge the battery so that the AC/DC adapter is plugged in, I think that the problem is hardware related. I mean that if the battery will be recharged while the laptop is turned off, the battery seems to be ok and even the AC/DC adapter. Theoretically, it could only be linked to the motherboard

  I think you should contact the nearest authorized service provider. Guys can check your laptop computer and help you to swap the motherboard.

• Satellite A300-1NO - BIOS - USB Sleep & Charge

  Hello!

  In my BIOS (version 1.60)--> Advanced menu there is an option: USB Sleep and fresh. I can set it to disabled, enabled (Mode1), activated (Mode2).
  My question is: what is the difference Mode1 / Mode2?

  Thanks for your reply.

  ´HI,

  I have also not an expert but as far as I know it s depending on the device that you use that you have need for sleep & Mr. load the default setting in the BIOS is mode 1 and if it doesn t work (sleep & Charge) you must set the mode 2

  I also checked the user manual but it doesn't give more details. So, as I have already said it s depending on the device.

  You can set default (mode 1) and if it s not work change to mode 2.

• Satellite A300-29N - auto restart within a time

  Hello

  I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-29N, recently, I noticed that my laptop auto-redémarre after 5 minutes, I thought that this could be a problem of charger so I replaced it, and nothing has changed, so I thought that maybe the power so I plugged the power regulator and no change, finally I opened to check for problems of heating and changed the CPU cooler and nothing has changed as well.

  This occurs if the operating system is Windows or Linux, so is hardware not software problems, recently, time went from 5 minutes to 30 seconds, directly after the OS loads, I don't really know what's wrong with it, I tried everything I suspected it might be the problem, anyone have any idea why what is happening?.

  Thank you

  It is not easy to say why this is happening. Can you please do a little test?
  Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and let us know if the same thing happens again.

All entries are welcome.

  Hi dadtheman,

  Did you check if all devices are properly installed in Device Manager? Check for exclamation marks Device Manager yellow and if there are some unknown devices.

  Also try to disable wake up on LAN and keyboard as Akuma has suggested.

• Satellite A300 may depend on from when the power adapter plugged

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300 when the laptop is connected to the power adapter I have no possibility to turn it on, it's only 2-3 seconds once it comes down.
  When Toshiba is enabled with the battery power and I tried to connect the adapter it also goes down.
  I have no problem with the charge itself, but only with working with AC adapter.

  Please help me what can I do with this problem, does anyone has similar problem?

  Hello!

  For me it sounds like a hardware failure of the motherboard if the AC/DC adapter is plugged and the laptop is turned on

  I don't know but how best to m would be if you go to the authorized service provider nearest with the AC/DC adapter. Technicians can check your laptop and swap the motherboard if it of really necessary. The guys are very friendly and helpful!

• Expect a new charger for my Satellite A300

  I put t know if I am on the right place for my problem.

  I bought a Toshiba laptop on September 9, 2009. Model: Toshiba Satellite A300-1RY.

  Everything went very well with the laptop since the date of purchase, except for the fact that it is so slow to start and stop even if I am told that it is normal on Toshiba laptops, until last week when the charger has stopped working on it. It was working fine and then the next thing I know my laptop turns off and will not be put into service again once, I tried the charger on 4 plugs and it wouldn t work on any of them.

  I brought the laptop and the charger in my local branch of the shop, as it was bought. Found in an outlet he and wouldn t work then they said that it is certainly the charger that isn t working. I was told it would be sent to the coast of Toshiba and they would send a new and I could pick up in the store in the next few days.

  It was May 22. I called them yesterday to check so I still n t received any update on their part. First of all, I was told that he was deported for repair after they told me I'd be getting a new. Then I was told he wasn t even covered by my warranty but it was going to be repaired as a gesture of goodwill. And then told me that he n t been watched of all because the man I left the charger with the serial number down wrong had taken and I n t that said until I rang almost 2 weeks later to search for an update.

  I'm absolutely furious to be told that my charger isn't included in my warranty. I was told when I bought the computer he had a full one year warranty. I explained to the man, I bought it off that I n t a clue on laptops and had never bought an or used one before, so he recommended that I buy an additional 2 years warranty that cost me a lot of money on top of what I was after forking out for the laptop. I was told that it covers everything that goes wrong with my laptop for the next three years and after that, if something goes wrong, it's time to learn a new anyway. So to be told now that very little is actually covered in the warranty's really infuriated me. DID is categorical, is not the case and it's not what they are selling. If this n t the case I would not have lost money on additional safeguards if they do nothing to help me when things go wrong.

  The fact that the charger has stopped working after only 9 months was a complete surprise in the first place, and then to be told yesterday that he isn't covered by its guarantee of original one was quite a shock for me.

  I am really upset about the whole thing, mainly due to the fact that after almost 2 weeks of waiting for the updates, I thought now and also the fact that when I left the charger in the shop told me it was not a problem and I would have a new in the next few days.

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that guarantee a year is any product including the AC adapter.
  As I see the problem is the guy who works at your dealership.
  What you have done is just and, probably, I would do the same thing but you can try to ask them who is the Toshiba service provider they work with and try to contact them directly.

  Explain the situation and attempt to clarify this point with the Toshiba service provider directly. Be cool on the phone, or directly to the service. Take the ticket with you where you can see the date of purchase.
  In my view, that they will help you with this.

  model - satellite A300 - 247
  OS-windows 7 64 bit

  Hello

  You are able to access the Menu of system repair?
  While applying power to the unit and the system starts, press the F8 key.
  Now you should get an Advanced Menu, including an additional option to start the laptop.
  I recommend you check the first option called repair your computer

  Now you should get another window with a few options. Click on the first option called Startup Repair and check if it could help you to fix the system.

  In the case where this wouldn't you help, you should check if new OS install would resolve the startup problem. But if the new operating system installation is not possible, you should start to check the hardware parts.
  In the first case, it should be the HARD drive and the laptop must be verified with another new, tested good HDD.
