Satellite L30-101 power up used

I have a L30-101 which has unstable power supply problem.

Sometimes it will start without effort. Once I press the power button, load cookies and wifi will be off and the power light will flash briefly, after that a few seconds, the load and wifi lights will be rekindled and I can try again. Finally, if it is not started, the light goes off and that's all.

another time if I push the button for a few seconds, it will start or freeze as noted above.

To try again, the only way is to remove the (new) battery and the power cable.

Also, I tried to hold the power button down for 30 seconds with the battery cables and power removed as a forum sudgested it discharging the capacitors on the motherboard. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes it doesn't.

If I have apart and put back together, it works. (but that's a bit excessive. So unless he can sprout wings very quickly, it's life may be limited).

All these answers are the same whether on the supply cable, battery only or both.

I'm starting to loose patience...

Your described problems looks like a motherboard failure.
I have no other explanation for that matter.

I mean it s not a problem of battery from the laptop must turn on correctly just connected to the AC adapter only.

I put t think the related issue of RAM because in this case the laptop must turn on not even for a second or the system freezes after widows started upward.

Satellite L30 is slightly older unit so it can be possible to this motherboard is the troublemaker.

    Hey,.

    I have a laptop Satellite L30-101, which happened with Vista.
    When I was with Vista I had none of these problems, but since I went down to XP install no games.
    The games can go on the menu when you click on install but nothing after that, it doesn't do anything.
    The screen will stay as it is and what can I do but no installer runs.

    I am sure I have drivers properly installed but not sure that more.

    No one knows the correct driver should I use, and if this is really the problem?

    Thank you.

    Satellite L30-101 has not been delivered with the Vista operating system.

  • After downgrading from Vista Satellite L30-101 does not read DVD

    Hey,.

    Like many people, I didn't like Vista and so returned to the use of Windows XP.

    In doing so, I lost a lot of things like the ability to watch DVDs and sound, most of these problems fixed so easily by downloading the drivers from this site.

    However, even after the DVD driver download I can't read DVDs yet.
    When you try to play through Windows media player I get say error message that I did not have a MPEG-2 decoder, in the section web site help, it suggests where to get one, but you have to play for each other.
    After having one in the first place, I don't think I should buy a new one.

    If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appretiated if they could let me know.

    Thank you

    PS I have a Satellite L30-101

    I think you have a codec problem, but I'm not sure. Maybe you should install the latest version of Media Player and codec Xvid, DivX and AC3. These are free (google it!). Or you can try alternative software, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD, you can try the demo versions.

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite L30-101

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) successfully, but I find it incredibly difficult to get information on the replacement of the processor.

    The laptop has the latest version of the BIOS on it (3.10 - WIN - 02/19/08), but trying to find information on whats inside I'm hitting brick walls. First of all the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/< doesn't="" have="" my="" laptop="" on="" it,="">
    Product type: notebook
    Family: Satellite
    Product series: Satellite L series
    Model:? unknown
    Short model No.:? unknown

    I hope I could paste in but with the ATI chipset Intel Duo, I'm sure that it won't work but once again without knowing what in the BIOS, compatible... I got lost. Single processor I can find who can work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo T1350 of processor which begins at 1.86 GHz, not a huge difference, and I don't know that it cannot be the only option of replacement.

    Could someone and please help me to get the hands on info from BIOS and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 deporting the 1.46 GHz is not good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi-task. His way of late too even after a good tune up, ram, HD 7200 rpm upgrade. I need an upgrade of the processor, but as mentioned it is incredibly difficult to get the information which would be compatible.

    Sincerely,

    Gourcuff

    Hello

    In my opinion, your attempt to replace the CPU is false. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer performance and it is designed for everyday use. Best evidence was the price. It wasn't so expensive.

    Can you please tell us why do you have new CPU? Do you use special software?

    Return to the replacement of the CPU. As you probably know laptops have limited upgrade options and it is related to the RAM and disk HARD upgrade. It's definitely not for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially of the cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
    Because of this, you will not be able to find relevant info on replacement of the CPU.

    Check it please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    > I was updating my BIOS on toshiba website and while he was installing the battery has been disconnected and when I turned on my computer laptop back I got was a black screen, the fans would start and thecd rom would turn

    I m afraid the BIOS update has no procedure and therefore the ROM chip has not updated as it should. This is the reason why the laptop can not start correctly.

    I think that it of necessary to reflash the ROM BIOS module Once again, but this can be done only using a procedure of BIOS of crisis.
    As far as I know this can be done only through ASP because there is no traditional BIOS version by download.

  • Satellite L30-101 will not boot after memory expansion

    Hello

    We have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101 with 512 MB memory

    We also bought 2 X 1 GB-compatible modules to extend the memory to its max.

    When we installed the two new modules the laptop won't boot.

    We tried to install one at the time and both work individually. I also tried 1 X 512 MB
    and 1 X 1 GB, which also worked.

    It seems that we are not the only one with this problem!

    1.5 works much better on le.5 but it doesn't seem to be a shame to have the autres.5 but its unusable!

    regards db

    Post edited by: db133

    I think that you have incompatible modules for mode dual channel.
    What RAM do you have?

    A module is maybe corrupted and so he doesn t run in mode dual channel.

    You can check the module with a program like Memtest86: [www.memtest86.org]

  • Satellite L30-101: could not connect to Orange Livebox via WI - FI

    Hi all

    Bought my first laptop today, a Satellite L30-101 with Vista. I finally managed to connect to my livebox after filming of encryption and the Vista firewall. Now, I turned as well on I can not connect. I get a msg of error saying 'the settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements of the network. I tried to repair the i.p address and tried to change the security settings in the properties.

    Ideally, I would like to completely remove the existing profile then the Connection Wizard may start. This is probably very simple, but I am new to wifi and Vista and would be grateful if anyone could offer advice.

    Concerning
    Dave.

    Hi again,
    Following the previous, I have more the error msg. I changed the Livebox WPA security only and on the L30, I put the WPA-personal security type and TKIP encryption.

  • Problems of memory on the Satellite L30-101

    I have a toshiba satellite l30-101 laptop and wanted to upgrade the RAM, so I bought 2 x 1 GB sticks to put in it.
    Now, I could not find all those at 533 mhz so I bought 2 667 mhz after a talk to a technical guy who said if I had 2 the same speed it will work very well.

    Only this isn't at all that I can put a stick and it works very well with the 533 mhz.
    The one I have in if I try to put the two sticks in it comes up with errors of memory and I get the bsod that restarts my computer and did not get my games or other programs.
    Is anyway to make sure I can have both new sticks in that I really need RAM and do not want to buy different ones.
    I mean if I can get another one we should probably work well work?

    Please help im crazy trying to solve this shit

    Hello

    I think that the speed of the memory has nothing to do with the BSOD!
    In my opinion the BSOD appears due to the failure of memory!

    In addition the L30-101 supports only the FSB 533 Mhz. In this case you will not be able to run the 667 Mhz modules of memory at full speed.
    The modules will run at 533 Mhz only!

    So in my opinion, you must replace the defective module with one that works very well!

    Best regards

  • Can satellite L30-101 - I change Vista to XP

    Hello

    I've been looking by changing from Vista to XP on a Toshiba Satellite L30 - 101.

    I wonder if this is possible, because I do not know abut driver problems. I found this site:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Which has a list of drivers, including those of Windows xp to the L30. Before I try to make the change, I wanted to just make sure that it is possible and any issues i should know about.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    As I m not wrong not the Satellite L30-101 belongs to the series of PSL33E.
    I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and found this series of laptop and I also found the XP drivers.

    Therefore, you can change the Win XP and you will also be able to reinstall Win XP drivers!

    Good news. ;)

  • Satellite L30: XP Clean install - used to work, now it doesn't

    Hello

    First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this and thanks to all those who want to contribute their thoughts. Now, the problem more in detail...

    * Summary *.
    Laptop comes with Vista. New installation of XP & drivers - all is well for more than a year. XP has become problematic, re-installed XP - same problems exist with clean install.

    * Prelude: *.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L30, which came with Vista installed. After some disappointment with Vista, I decided to "upgrade" to XP. The XP installation went without a hiccup. Trying to find drivers for all that took time, as Toshiba is no longer distributes the drivers for the L30 model (at least not on the version of their Web site). I kept (and still have) copies of all drivers, I finally installed to get the laptop with XP works successfully, and everything was fine.

    * The problem starts: *.
    I had been using this setup for over a year, until recently, and suddenly, the laptop has become problematic (i.e. suspended in certain situations, be slow and usually does not). I have concluded that the laptop had probably lost power during the installation of Windows updates or update had problems and had become unstable. After trying different techniques to try to restore the system (System Restore, chkdsk, etc.), without success, I decided I want to do a clean install of XP.

    * Get your fingers Ready puzzle: *.
    Using the same XP CD, I used for the first installation, I begin to re - install XP. All right, until the installation reached "Record components", where it crashes. By pressing the power button to restart the computer laptop re-lance installation and installation is completed thanks to the end (perhaps because the installer reported that caused the coup be dried the second time around?). This behavior is now repeatable every time I have to format the drive and install XP. In any case, XP is now installed and boot - but guess what? It shows the exact behavior as well as before the clean install. He is suspended for the same thing and being generally does not. I continued to install all the drivers that I used the first time around, but still the same problem. (may be interesting to note that safe mode do not present any of this behavior and works very well).

    * The plot thickens *.
    So now, I think that it is likely to be a hardware / firmware issue, as it is set up exact same software. In the context of spending + long + time trying to figure out, I move using the Toshiba recovery disc that re - installs Vista and now everything works fine, no problem with anything (well, except that it's Vista). I installed all the available Windows updates updated all drivers and ghosts and then the hard drive, so I can go back at least to a configuration of work relatively easily. Thinking that this procedure + may + have restored balance for the setup of hardware, I re - install XP, but it's yet to be a problem in exactly the same way. I'm puzzled.

    * What to do now *.
    Personally, I prefer to use the cell phone as a Clipboard that is expensive to use it with Vista installed. I ordered some RAM so that he will be able to run Windows 7, but I don't wouldn't really be content of this workaround. By far, XP is the OS of choice, but I do not know what path to take then get back to work.
    I'd like to hear your 2 cents. Thanks for reading the above, I know it was long. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Ian

    I put t think that the problem is related to the lack of driver Toshiba.

    First parrowdice trying to install Win XP and Win XP does not support the VAP (value added package). VAP is released just for Vista and Win 7.

    I think that the Intel Matrix Storage Manager is also not necessary I think it might be something wrong with the hardware. Maybe HARD drive?

    Download the tool called disk HARD Drive Fitness Test. This tool creates a bootable CD that would go to a HARD disk check, I think that should help to check if a HARD drive is affected.

  • Connectivity issues with Satellite L30-101 wireless

    I live in a room where the wireless NET is low.

    The landlord lives just next door and it has wireless internet access, I pay for it as well.

    I have a toshiba satellite laptop L30-101. my room is on the first floor, if I get out of my room in the hallway, the net improves.
    If I go down this is the best.
    I tried to speak with the owner to put the modem near the window or connect an antenna in the modem, but there is no change.
    Here's my question: How can I get a net better from my room?
    What can I buy for my computer? I have a type II card slot. What type of antenna, cables or cards can I buy?

    Hey Bela

    Why don't you talk with your local dealer where you live. They can give you enough useful information how to manage this problem. If you wish, you can test connectivity with the latest PCMCIA WLAN cards. If there is no success you can send it back after a few days.

  • Any ideas why my Satellite L30-101 is not turn on?

    I have a L30-101, which does not any power whatsoever.

    Someone at - it ideas? The laptop had no much use, as was a second device, but it just won't work and driving me crazy. He won't show signs of life at all.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    How about a dead motherboard?
    Failure of the motherboard may be the reason for this

    It would be the worst case since the motherboard is some of the most expensive and deeper cases there s no need to replace it as a new laptop would be more expensive

  • Satellite M40 screen is compatible with Satellite L30-101?

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba L30 101 and the screen is cracked.
    I have the opportunity to buy not working Toshiba M40 - 221, which has a display of work.

    The screen will work and work well.
    Both models are in the range of satellite and both use the screen 15.4 inches and made the same applay to the keypad/keyboard

    Thanks for your time

    Hello

    I can't say for sure, but if two laptop computers supports the same screen size then you have a good chance to get the screen M40 working with L30 Series notebook.
    But if you want to be 100% sure, then I'd take a screen which has been published for the L30 series.

  • Port USB of the Satellite L30 stop Windows when using

    I recently bought a Satellite L30 (psl33E) for my wife and everything seemed fine. That was until she needed additional usb ports for his stuff and used the port on the left side of the machine (as opposed to the one still in use, in the back). As soon as she tried to use this port in particular, the close dow and has done since then.

    Could someone tell me please how to fix this, because it is only a few weeks old, and I don't want to take it back to the store where it was purchased.

    In the hope of a miracle.

    TIA.

    JimmyMack.

    Hello

    It really looks like a serious hardware problem. I guess that the USB port cannot deliver enough power when other ports are in use.

    If I were you I bring the machine or contact the nearest available service partner in your country and allow them to correct this problem.
