Satellite L300 booted on battery but not on power supply

I have a problem that has developed with a computer for daily use about 3 months ago.

When the computer is connected to power at startup, the computer starts at halfway in Windows XP with the first XP screen and then it sounds like the disk hard knocking and stops and then the screen stops and shakes with a lot of lines and bands in the screen and the distortion and the machine hangs.

I must then hold down the power button and restart.
I can then start it in safe mode.

If I have the computer on the starter battery, it always starts normally and all is well.
Once the computer all them booted up, I can then connect the power supply and run it all day.

Any ideas why the machine hangs at startup when it is started on the power and no battery?
I had plugged on many energy sources and even changed the power supply with another machine, and it still has the problem.

I have loaded all drivers and the latest bios driver and display driver.

Don't you think that it is a hardware or software problem?
Thank you!!

> Ideas why machine freezes on boot to the top when it is started on the power and no battery?

In my opinion its definitely a hardware problem. The question is what part is affected.
I think you should test another adapter.
Abnormal power supply may cause these problems.
Otherwise if the AC adapter isn't the troublemaker, I think that this failure of the only motherboard may cause this problem.

  • Satellite L300 connected to wifi but not internet

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop from a friend.
    When I try to connect to the internet it says its connected but won t a Web page and it says on the connection icon that it is connected to a wireless connection that is unidentified.

    I went through everything with my ISP, but they only changed so that I could communicate with a portable computer. When I need to contact 3 and phones, etc, all others were connected before I got this laptop!

    In any case he said ultimately it was something to do with the WLan security or something and for Toshiba phone and maybe it's just a download that I need, but I put t know where to start and can't find a number for Toshiba - please help

    Thank you

    Hello

    Guess what?
    Disable encryption settings (WEP, WPA, etc.) and the password on your WLan router and test the connection for laptop.
    If you are able to connect the laptop to the router and can access the internet then Wlan problems are certainly linked to the incorrect encryption settings.

    If you are not sure how to change it, check the manual which should be assured of always with the Wlan router.

  • Satellite L300 intermittently won't start not

    My Satellite L300 intermittently does not start.

    When trendy DC, light power plug is green, when you press power button / stop power light is Orange boots for 3 seconds with fan started done 2 short beeps and then the fan stops and no other shoe.
    turn off the DC supply then plug again before may give him another chance.

    This can happen up to 20 times, sometimes around 3 or 4 attempts.
    When he wants to finally go, pressed power light power button green and all is OK.
    That means the light Orange?

    I checked for dust in the fan, used another power supply, tried friends memory and hard drive.

    The problem can occur every day, or every day.

    I left the battery in case it appeared the problem, the battery will not hold a charge very long.
    I would be grateful of any advise

    > That means Orange light?

    If power light flashes orange, it indicates the power was cut off, while the computer was in mode 'sleep'.
    But in your case I n t think that the laptop enter mode 'sleep' in your case, the power LED flashes means a hardware problem may be detected

    Perhaps your motherboard is affected

  • Satellite A300-1BZ - new battery does not charge

    Hello

    I bought a new battery (PA3534U-1BRS) because my old battery (3 years) hold office as well as it should!
    The new battery will not charge, the Red battery light suggesting everything of fine, but then begins to Flash after 20 minutes.
    When I turn on the computer the battery indicator on the taskbar in Vista tells me the device is turned on, but the battery won't charge.

    The company where I bought the battery has issued me with a replacement, but I'll always have the same problem.
    They have listed the battery as a genuine, and there any labelling even as my old battery.

    The battery would be false or toshiba has changed the specifications of this battery in particular.
    The reason for my last statement is the fact that my old battery contacts look more apparent than those on the new.

    I have no reason to believe that the company is not kosher because I returned the first battery to address personally after realizing that they were on my doorstep!
    Fake or not compatible?

    The comments appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Maybe you used the battery is not compatible, but AFAIK the PA3534U-1BRS is designed for Satellite A200 A300 L300 L300D
    So it should work.

    However, I recommend buying a battery of origin of Toshiba ASP.

    Contact a local Toshiba authorized service partner and order a new compatible battery for this laptop.

    I think the new battery should work.

  • Satellite L300 - 'W' and 'F' keys not working do not - cannot open a session

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
    My 'F' and 'w' keys do not work and because I have a built-in HARD drive password containing these letters, I can't start my computer.

    I got a problem "starting" a few months back, and what I had to do was restore my laptop to an earlier date. I did it through management of Boot at startup. The only thing is that I don't remember how to do it now.

    I can't find the restore disks that could come with my laptop - so the only way I can do, thanks to a Startup Manager.

    So, how do you do a system restore? or y at - it another way to solve this problem?

    Help, please! :)

    Hello

    If I understand your case, the HARD disk password has been set and now you are not able to boot the laptop because the password can not be typed due to the defective keyboard.
    Right?

    Hmm, replace the keyboard buddy I think it's just the ideal solution.
    Of course, you can try to plug an external USB keyboard but I don't know if it will generally work at the BIOS level, it should work, but in the worst case you will need a new internal keyboard m.

  • Windows 7 on Satellite L300 - 17l - some drivers do not work

    My machine worked fine on XP but I installed the new copy of Windows 7. I installed most of the drivers and they worked, but when I come to install value added Package (in Toshiba says that VAP includes Power Saver). It seems complete installation very well, but then I can't find anywhere Power Saver. I tried to install Power Saver for Xp, but it seems that it's not good for Windows 7. Also, I installed the driver for Intel GMA X 3100 graphics, but in the views settings it shows that mobile Intel 965 chipset, which is actually my mmotherboard

    Hello

    Satellite L300 - 17L is equipped with INTEL graphics 965GM (CRESTLINE) controller! If your GPU driver works fine!

    With regard to the VAP:
    First of all, you must update the BIOS to the latest State and then you should try to reinstall the VAP for Win 7.
    Don t install Power Saver for Win XP because it won't work!

  • Satellite L300-19Y - wireless LAN is not in the list of devices

    Hi I need to throw this one out there incase I throw my pc a bridge...

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-19Y which recently gubbed the HD, so I replaced and am trying to install XP SP3.

    However, even with what i belive to be the correct drivers I can't seem to access my wireless LAN.
    I installed most of the pilots involved, and have access to the Internet via the NIC with a connecting cable.
    It was a struggle to get even, even if I really need a wireless...

    At the moment the wireless device does not appear in the list of devices, although I can see my network card.
    I have some thoughts on how to activate the wireless, I tried to install the driver manually wireless but didn't get any wherever I get a code 10 XP Shutdown response.

    I've updated the BIOS, I have the latest drivers 8187b, I installed the kernel, the chipset, the display and audio drivers... etc.
    I installed a new copy of XP but you have not installed all the drivers until I know that the correct procedure...

    Any ideas would be appreciated...

    Arghh!

    Hello

    You should try to activate the WLAN using the hardware on the laptop switch (must be defined on and with the combination of keys FN + F8.
    Did you do that?

    In addition, you can get all the drivers for your laptop on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    I assume that you have installed your laptop with a disc of Microsoft, so you should try it with the Toshiba recovery disc. It contains an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools. After that, everything should work fine on your laptop.

    Check it!

  • Satellite M45-S165 new battery does not charge from 25%

    Hello

    It is of a Satellite M45-S165 running Windows XP SP2.

    I just put in a new battery of Technuity sold at Circuit City. Followed the instructions and let it charge for 10 hours before you use it. The laptop turned off while charging.

    On the laptop Toshiba Power Saver says that the battery has been charged only 25%. He just won't let it load more than that.

    I close GST since the the Task Manager and open the gauge on the control panel Windows. After you run just the battery for a while I tried to recharge it. But the windows power meter is showing that the battery is charging, but who is stuck at 3%.

    The battery is new, so no idea on what it prevents to load completely?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    At first, I must say that you've done everything right and this is probably not due to the battery (I hope you bought the right one). The question is are at - there some problem with electronic control gear.

    You must understand that it is not easy to simply explain to these issues and to see what the problem is here, it is necessary to run the diagnostics program and check the electronic feature of the power supply.

    This can be done by only authorized service provider. If you do need to make the decision. Make a call and ask them what can be the reason for this. Inform you of what you can do with it. What else can you do?

  • Satellite click 10 - keyboard battery is not available

    Hi, just bought a LX5W 10 click and the State of the battery for the keyboard says "This battery is not available for use" the keyboard works fine. I've updated the bios and 1.7, responsible for 24 hours and the windows update 10 nothing helps. Any ideas please?

    I had the same problem. I got back from my first machine to the supplier as defective, but the other had the same problem.

    Finally, I spoke with a person that is extremely useful to the Toshiba Customer Support who spent half an hour to diagnose things with me, went to ask my colleagues and even out the drawings of the unit to check.

    The result is that the latest versions of click 10 have only a battery in the screen. There is no battery 2 where the error message. So even if the screen says, and the manual says, there is no second battery and the screen is more powerful than before and has the same life expectancy as the two front batteries.

    He admitted that it was the lack of communication from Tosh. Charge up to 100%, then after disconnecting, you should see up to 14 hours of availability.

  • Satellite L300 - 11L - TOSHIBA common module not found

    Hello
    I have a model Satellite L300 - 11L
    I try to install the operating system XP drivers
    Hotkey utilities for display devices
    I have an error pops up: "TOSHIBA common module not found!" This configuration will end. "

    I ask you to help and support.
    Thank you

    Hello

    I think the error message is quite clear.
    Common modules driver is not installed and so you cannot install the Hotkey utility.

    The common Modules is a crucial driver to be installed at the beginning!

    Therefore, you should visit the European driver of Toshiba. Need to select your model laptop and download this common Modules.
    Install it and then repeat the installation of the Hotkey utility.

  • Satellite M70-147 - the battery does not recharge

    Hello

    I have a problem with my battery, it seems that it does not re - pay.
    First of all, please read the following:

    -When I start the laptop with AC power plugged the battery seems to be charged to 100% according to the Toshiba Power Saver.
    -When I remove the block AC power the display brightness goes down, because it goes to the battery, until here everything is normal. However, you do not see the percentage decreases, it remains 100% which means fully charged.
    -After a few minutes, an audible alarm indicating that the battery is almost dead. When the alarm sounds the Toshiba Power Saver then indicates that percentage is about 6%.
    -Then I reconnect the power supply and turn on the orange light showing that the battery is charging. The light orange he should be in charge, but the percentage remains at 6%. But after 10 minutes the percentage suddenly increases to 100% and the orange charging light turns off.
    -When I turn off the laptop and reboot immediately after that the alarm is triggered, the Toshiba Power Saver says also that the battery is fully charged or 100%. This seems a bit odd.

    So my question is: what is the problem with the battery? or is there something wrong with AC/DC adapter? could result in the fact that he does not seem to charge more. Or is there something wrong inside the laptop.

    If anyone has an idea please let me know, thanks for now.

    > After a few minutes, an audible alarm indicating that the battery is almost dead. When the alarm sounds the Toshiba Power Saver then indicates that percentage is about 6%.

But after 10 minutes the percentage suddenly increases to 100% and the orange charging light turns off.

    I think I know what's wrong.
    Your battery seems to be dead.
    My old laptop battery can be used for about 2 min even it s fully charged.
    It pays for 2 min, then it s completely empty.
    Is nothing unusual as the battery slowly loses the own performance and it s just a matter of time where he died.
    I don't need a new battery because I m using Notepad as compensation for my desktop PC and the laptop is always connected to the sector.

    But if you need to use the battery, then you will need to replace it with a new one.

    Good bye
