Satellite C650 loses power

• Satellite M70 loses power randomly

  This Satellite M70 has no battery.
  When plugged into the power supply, the blue power light comes on as expected.
  But after a few minutes, the light blue power turns off and all power is lost.
  This happens even if the computer is not "activated" while it is plugged. Therefore, it is not likely to be overheating.

  Let unplugged, more light will light up when it is plugged.
  If unplugged and reconnected right after the LED turns off, the diode can not ignite at all, or it may come a few seconds.

  I completely disassembled the M70 and there is no dust anywhere inside.
  The problem when the M70 is stripped without RAM card, HARD drives, screen, keyboard and interface. All the pieces, I can reach feel cold when the power loss occurs.

  The PSU is known well, it is 3. 34 and bed 19.5V with a voltmeter.

  So probably something wrong with the power of the motherboard components.
  It is not really worth paying for repairs, so before you throw this M70, what should I try?

  Thank you
  Jen

  Here must be a serious problem with electronic power supply on the motherboard.
  In my opinion there is nothing you can do about it.

  If you want to keep this old piece of hardware check eBay and maybe you can find refurbished mainboard and exchange it. Maybe you can find good work M70 but destroyed or defective display and get it for less money. You can use two mobile phones and do well work a.

  I don t think you should spend a lot of money for it.

• When the capacity of the battery falls Satellite Pro U300 occasionally lose power

  Hello

  I suspect you have a defective battery (standard installed on the laptop) on my new Satellite Pro U300 - 11 k and I wonder if someone had a similar problem.
  When the power drops to 10%, my laptop occasionally loses power. In the range of less than 7% capacity always loses power, i.e. either fails to start the hibernation, or is unable to complete the process (I can always tell if power was lost during hibernation because of the characteristic of the system of protection HD sound). I did several tests, especially in the power saving mode. "High performance" mode power seems to be a little more reliable, but still fails to shut down less than 5% of the capacity. The level of Hibernate by default on the Toshiba Windows Vista pack is as low as 2%, so I can wait until it is able to work at this level.

  Overall the battery capacity is about 1 h (Media Player, fashion high performance, maximum intensity) at all about 2 to 2.5 hours (slowed or text editor, mode, brightness low power saving). Charging time is about 1 hour (seems too short). They are difficult to objectively assess that Toshiba avoids quoting the specifications of the battery, but I consider the question of the reliability of the above as being a serious (do not want to take the risk of damaging the HD). I am considering visiting the service center, but leaving both the computer and the battery with them would be a nuisance for me and I would rather avoid it if I can. I wonder if I can claim the warranty on the battery alone?

  Any suggestions would be welcome.

  Background information:
  -The U300 is a few weeks old.
  -The battery has been fully charged and discharged (approximately 15 times since purchase).
  -Cooldown takes 1 h - 1.5hrs
  -J' using Vista Business
  -J' went through the power settings to make sure they are ok and to change threshold levels
  -I am an experienced business user, I use a laptop computer at work which stops always perfectly to the power level of 3%

  Thanks for help

  Reading your post, I do see no battery issues! Everything you say is right and not a malfunction.
  Please note that the Vista operating system needs much more computing resources and the battery is much more emphasized running Vista!

  Please also note that the level and time to discharge the battery can be different! Everything depands of the use of the laptop!
  All the portable devices and parts waste the power of the battery at the same time and that's why there are differences in the discharge procedure.

  Don t be afraid and take advantage of your laptop but if you think you will need to contact the ASP in order to clarify this issue, then feel free to contact service technician.
  They should be able to help you.

  Good bye

• Satellite C650-1CP - children have chewed the POWER OUT cable

  Hello

  My companion has a Toshiba Satellite C650-1CP and her children have been tinkering with the supply cable and crunched the large connector - as you do :)

  He also thinks that they may have damaged the internal connector that plugs into the power supply.

  Couple of questions please.

  1. If the connections are faulty on the laptop - is all the same replace this? and if it can be done easily (by myself) or would I need to return the unit to Toshiba to be fixed?

  2. is there anyway to test on the laptop power connectors? -Is there no power to the laptop at all now.

  3. it has an old Toshiba Satellite Pro M50 - PSM55E-001001EN and tried to power the laptop with this power supply but no luck (does not connect properly) - on the rise

  4 would be this adapter old M50 is compatible with its new C650? or is it interesting to buy a new power supply for the C650 and try this 1st to see if it will power (seen for about £12). Think the best way to repair because I presume that if the power supply inside the laptop but then it would cost a quid to fix.

  Any help or advice would be appreciated.

  The outlet is normally on the main Board in the computer, you might be able to fix (welding), but probably not.
  Too expensive to replace.

  > 2. Is all the same test on the laptop power connectors? -Is there no power to the laptop at all now.

  Yes, if the laptop is charging with a correct charger, it works.

  > 3. He's got an old Toshiba Satellite Pro M50 - PSM55E-001001EN and tried to power the laptop with this power supply but no luck (does not connect properly) - on the rise

  Not really a question but if the PSU outputs the same voltage and amperage similar or higher and a compatible, it should work.

  If it is not compatible (read the answer #3), then you should try to see if you can get a universal.

• Re: Satellite C650 does nothing at the beginning upward

  So today, my computer froze, could not do anything as usual I restarted by the power button.
  I went to turn back on and the normal startup. Noise has a weird clicking on in the lower right.
  Then she went on this black screen and says could not startup disk load press any key during loading.
  So I restarted a couple of times and now it's not even do it. It shows just a black screen with a small white line, ad that's all nothing else. Always with the sounds of rattling.

  Could someone help me? Thank you
  And my laptop is:
  Toshiba Satellite C650
  I could really use the help, thank you.

  I can't say for sure, but I think the HARD drive's troublemaker.
  Enter in the BIOS, set the default value and try to start computer laptop new just to see what will happen.
  If you have the recovery disk on it start to check if the disc will have access to the HARD drive.

  In the worst case HDD must be exchanged. In General, it is not problematic but I m afraid you will lose all your important data.

• Satellite C650-1CN - no start and secure Windows 7

  Here's the problem:
  Satellite C650-1CN, after exactly 30 days Windows 7 blocked, and now push the power botton, the pc entirely, then start?

  Hello hans,.

  Wait a minute: what's the problem now?

  Can you start your computer and access the Windows?
  Or the computer does not start and you have a black screen only?

• Satellite C650 - Question about the capacity of the HARD disk

  I just bought a Satellite C650. The specifications indicate 320 GB hard drive, but the diagnostic system indicates the disk space is 286 GB (free capacity is GB 261).

  Please indicate why this might be the case.

  Hi 12345,

  It is normal that you lose disk space after formatting the drive. 286GB is the normal capacity of a formatted hard drive 320, so everything is ok with your laptop.

  If you want to learn more about capacity on hard drives and need more technical information, why you only 286GB you can read this interesting Wiki:

• Satellite C650 / 01 M noisy fan

  Hi all

  This is my first post and first experience with Toshiba laptops: D.
  So here's the thing, I bought Satellite C650/01 M a few days ago and I noticed that the fan is a bit noisy, it's like a "Bee noise" or "House sound fly" lol, but the temperature of the computer is fine.

  So I'm wondering if this is normal or I have to return it? Any experience with this particular model?
  BTW, here is the link of the laptop:
  [http://dicksmith.com.au/product/XC8927/satellite-c650-01m-notebook]

  Thank you!

  Hey,.

  I Don t Satellite C650, but normally it should be possible to change the method of cooling Windows Power Management. You can change between optimized battery and a maximum Performance.

  I put the battery optimized option and this reduced the activity of the fan and the cell phone was much quieter. :)

• Satellite C650 - 1 TC not to start properly and keyboard problem

  Dear forumers, hope you can help me help my mother :-)

  She has a Satellite C650-1 CT part No... PSC08E-03M001EN.
  Unfortunately, she was not able to use it because there was a power failure after she left on the mode 'sleep'.

  It starts and pressing f2 or f12 works. 95% + of the keyboard does not work.
  The arrow keys work only half the time and there is no way top select any option.

  I read the link below, but there is no option for 'repair your computer' and so I do not know what to do next.

  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  The laptop goes in a loop "the installation program starts services.

  Help is greatly appreciated!

  > It starts and pressing f2 or f12 works. 95% + of the keyboard does not work.

  You are able to use the external USB keyboard?
  Connect the external keyboard and check if you can select the recovery of HARD drive menu option.
  In case of malfunction of the internal keyboard, using the external USB keyboard should work.

  But if you will not be able to perform HARD drive recovery, even if the external USB keyboard is connected,
  I recommend you use the recovery disk.

  Have you created the recovery disc in the past?
  Do you have any other Microsoft Windows installation disc clean?

• Satellite C650 - rejects USB devices

  Hello...

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite C650 T3300 / 2 GHz computer laptop that is running Windows 7. When I put a USB key on both the laptop USB ports it recognizes for a few seconds and then rejects it. It will not open content. I am wanting to transfer music from my old laptop to the new. I tried two flash sticks and the two will not work.

  Any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Dave

  Hey,.

  Have you checked if all USB ports properly recognized in Device Manager?

  You can try updating the chipset driver, it also controls USB ports as far as I know. Just check the latest chipset driver from Toshiba Web site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  By the way: have you tried with the performance mode in Windows power management?

• Satellite C650 - "no battery is detected.

  Hi all

  (I apologize if this has already been covered, but each problem is different!)

  I have a Satellite C650, bought ~ August 2010. Basically, I have a problem with the battery. It is in place, with the power supply AC plugged and recognized. The two LEDs are green display.

  When the office, however, the battery icon is empty, with a Red Cross and a symbol of feeder on top. Hovering above, it says "no battery is detected."

  The machine seems to work very well and on the normal speed, and there is no other signs to suggest that it is damaged on the screen or on the outside. The only flaw that is a fan that is slow to the "liquidation", but the laptop is not hotter than usual.

  What did I try? Switch off, pull out the AC adapter, and then remove and replace the battery. There is no sign of damage to the battery, or around it. The same question "icon" remains.

  I'm a student, so it is quite essential. In addition, with the AC cord is connected, the unit will continue to operate normally - or die suddenly?

  I'm a bit of a technophobe, so nothing too complicated please-, but all suggestions welcome!

  Thank you

  JW

  > Also, with AC, the power cord is connected, the unit will continue to operate normally - or die suddenly?

  Not sure if I understand this. The laptop will be and should work fine with the AC adapter connected.

  Usually, the battery should charge when the power adapter is connected. If the battery is fully charged, the battery led should go green and recharging must stop.

  However, I would recommend updating the BIOS to see if the battery issue is always available

  If the BIOS update does not help, replace the battery with another compatible.

• Satellite C650-1CR - no webcam showing in Device Manager

  Hello

  I apologize if this question has already been posted. I have a Satellite C650-1CR; PSC08E-029001EN part number; Serial number 7A370192Q. Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  The webcam, which has worked before, does not now in any program. In MSN it says I have no webcam; in Toshiba Face Recognition, he says camera failed to initialize. I have nothing to this fact - it has just stopped working. If I click on the Toshiba web camera application in the utilities section, nothing happens. The camera does not appear in Device Manager - there is no device images shown.

  I read through the advice here and you have downloaded the driver here, but that does not open. He goes as far as the extraction of the file, but then it will not run or open. I have the latest BIOS (update from Toshiba a couple of days). If I can avoid it, I don't really want to use the recovery disk I have many other things on my laptop that I don't want to lose.

  Any advice or help would be really appreciated. My son just moved to Australia, and it would be great for me to be able to use the webcam. I hope I gave enough information on the laptop and the problem.

  Thanks in advance for any help.
  Linda

  Hey Buddy,

  So if there is no webcam listed in Device Manager, you must check the installed programs in Control Panel > uninstall a program. Usually the webcam software should be in there and if yes remove it. Then, restart your computer.

  To remove all also run a registry cleaner like CCleaner which can remove old registry keys. It s freeware tool is therefore no problem to find using Google. After that you have to reboot your laptop again and then install the latest webcam software from the official page of Toshiba.

  Even after restart and you should be able to use the webcam again. Can you confirm this?

• Satellite C650 - battery problem

  Hello

  I've got this Toshiba Satellite C650 about a friend who gave me it reinstall Windows7.

  Before you reinstall, I noticed that the laptop has not activate on battery. When I pluged the charger he started and it started once ran on battery without any problem. Also, when it is turned on and that the charger is removed the battery icon do not show how much time left and show unknown time remaining in place.

  When I reinstalled Windows does not solve the problem.
  I've updated the BIOS, but still does not solve the problem.
  I started to think that it's a hardware problem.

  The laptop is new - age one month.

  I'll be very grateful if someone could help me or point me to the solution of this problem.
  The laptop is still under warranty, but I decided to ask here first and here are some other opinions.

  Thank you!

  Try this:
  Remove and disconnect the battery and the AC adapter.
  Now let and don t touch the laptop for some time (2-3 hours)
  Then press and hold the power button / stop along 30 sec.

  Now connect the battery and the AC adapter and keep it charge until the battery indicator would turn to green (or blue)
  Then turn on the unit and check how it works.

  PS: its always recommended to calibrate a new battery, that means that the battery should be completely discharged and recharged until 100% was achieved.
  This procedure should be repeated several times in the line

• Satellite C650 won't turn on / boot (black screen only)

  I am having trouble with my year old Satellite C650. In fact, when I go to turn it on it just won't. The power led on the front of the laptop turns on and the fan starts whirring (only to stop a few seconds later), but there is no change to the screen. I tried to take out the battery, restart, connect, disconnect - basically everything I can think of, but nothing made a difference.

  Can anyone think a possible solution? I really hope this isn't a hardware problem, but I have a horrible feeling that it looks like this...

  Thank you!

  > Can anyone think a possible solution? I really hope this isn't a hardware problem, but I have a horrible feeling that it looks like this...

  I'm scared of m its hardware problem.
  My advice would not apply to a Toshiba service provider in your country that would check the parts.
  Your laptop doesn't seem to be old so maybe the warranty is still valid and the fix could be done free of charge.

• Satellite C650 15Z two USB ports have stopped working / load

  Hi can someone throw their professional opinion on a current problem I am experiencing with my

  Satellite C650 15Z
  Windows 7

  There are 2 USB ports which are now both inoperative - there seems to be no power from them (ipad/phones do not charge) and any flash drive I insert does not appear as a drive in my computer
  and I don't hear audible alerts or message pop ups after insertion. Like I don't know what I look in Device Manager, I thought that someone may be able to help here?
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  In Device Manager, you can try to delete and remove the USB host controller and USB hubs.
  All these devices are responsible for the functionality of USB ports.
  After you remove the USB host controller and USB hubs, restart the laptop.
  Usually the Windows operating system should recognize the devices automatically deleted after that, you can check if the USB feature is back.
