Satellite M100 - no battery light

Hello

My Satellite M100 has a problem with the power. He has started about a month ago, when my computer turns off suddenly, and the power light is the only one left on, no battery light. The problem seemed to disappear, but recently the gaming laptop upward again. It stops randomly, or the power led will Flash quickly. And the battery light will turn on for half a second and turn off.

Any ideas, thanks in advance

Very strange but sounds like something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.
If the power led starts flashing then that would mean that a material error has been detected on the motherboard

But just a question;
Are you able to use the laptop connected only to battery or only adapter?
Problems of charging the battery?

  • Satellite 1800-100: battery light is still orange flashing, not charging

    Hello
    I have a S1800 Satellite laptop series and I used it for a long time. But yesterday, I'm very disappointed by a strange event. Now I have no solution, please help...

    Situation: While my laptop was working in battery mode (no air-con plugged), I was copying some files from my HARD drive, then suddenly portable inside out, I thought it happened because the accusation was over and I plugged adapter to load as usual, but NO charge!

    Battery light FLASHES with the orange color and not charging, when the AC adapter is connected, the laptop works normal without error but if I unplug the AC adapter, the laptop turns off immediately. This shows that even though it is plugged in for 6 hours, but without costs as I said there is no advance fees.

    I got this new situation and my local Toshiba service rejected my request due to the old mode of my laptop.

    My last chance is here

    Help, please.

    Best regards...

    Hello

    Well, if the battery LED blinks orange indicating a low battery charge.
    If the led blinks during the adapter is plugged, so in my opinion, the battery cannot be charged. Maybe the battery is dead. This is possible because you can recharge the battery, about 500 times. After this period, the battery will lose performance and dead.

  • Satellite M100: Icon battery bar of tasks does not display time remaining

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M100. It has windows XP Home, with no changes made (this is how it was preinstalled). I noticed that when I go over the battey icon only other percentages are displayed, not the rest of the time. I have a friend with a laptop L100 (which is quite similar to mine as material) which shows the remaining time in hours and minutes. You have any ideea, what should I do, I really want to know the time not a few percent.

    Thank you in advance.

    The same situation here! I noticed that the status of time does not appear on all models of laptops. I put t know why it is only a restriction of the power saver version.

    In my opinion, it is not so important, because I believe that the specified time is not realistic. This always depends on the use of the laptop.

    Good bye

  • Satellite M100-165 cannot stop - lights up immediately

    Hi all!

    Here's my problem: whenever I have shutdown or Hibernate my Satellite M100-165, it will light within 5 seconds. Standby does not either - instead of normal going in standby mode (power LED turn orange) it shuts down completely and has the force of will to 5 seconds upwards again and freeze. The computer only lights when plugged into power alternative, with or without a network cable. Wake-on-LAN is disabled. No other event trail is accessible from the menu of the BIOS Setup.

    I tried the system restore to a date before the problem was uccured, I've updated the BIOS, uninstalled and reinstalled Toshiba Power Saver utility, set closing the lid to take no action, scanned with HijackThis and found no suspicious processes.

    The problem started shortly after I installed Motorola Phone Tools (i.e., a driver of USB modem for my mobile phone). I don't know if that could be related but uninstalled/reinstalled the software nothing works.

    Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

    Hello

    Have you noticed this problem since the first day of purchase?
    Theoretically, it could be possible that your battery begins to malfunction
    On the other hand, an electrical problem could also be possible

    However, try this:
    Remove the battery and the AC adapter. Then press and hold button power 30 sec long.
    Then insert the battery and plug AC adapter still does that help?

    By the way: this is the BIOS updated? If this isn't the case, perform an update.

    Hello

    Calibrate you the battery in the past?
    Do this! It would improve the performance of the battery and battery working time.

    You will need to you completely discharge the battery until it is completely empty.
    Then charge the battery again. Repeat several times.
    I think that 3 to 4 times would be enough.

    After that check if the battery is expected to reach 100% and if the led would turn to green.

    Hello

    You update the BIOS?
    On several sets of Toshiba, the update of the BIOS is necessary if you go from XP to Vista or Vista to XP.

    I'm not sure about the Toshiba notebooks for Australian but the European Satellite M100 supports a special BIOS in Vista.
    I recommend you to check this first.

    In addition, I recommend trying to install BT stack from this Toshiba BT Portal;

  • Satellite A100-225: battery power light flash orange

    Last night, plugged my AGES of NINE DAYS by Satellite A100-225, the lights were on, it was working fine.

    This morning, woke up, lights were turned off, tried to turn it on, the battery power button flashed light Orange.

    Tried to play with the cable by plugging it into other outlets that I knew worked, nothing helps.

    Have tried to start without the battery in it, without success.

    Unless there is a function that can prevent from starting somewhere, I don't know what to say. This computer is nine days old, and I do not understand how something can just wrong all night.

    Adding info if necessary - computer was on when I went to sleep, and was running Mozilla Firefox and WinAMP.

    Hello

    Perhaps the unit automatically goes in standby mode or hibernation?
    On this device, the automatic system standby/hibernation has been reinstalled. This function automatically stops the system when there is no input or material of access for a specified time. You can specify the time and select System standby or hibernation in the base of the Toshiba power saver settings tab.

    In addition, if the battery LED is flashing it means that the battery charge is low. The adapter must be connected to the battery.
    If it of not possible to charge the battery, so there are several possibilities: the battery could be dead, the AC adapter doesn't work or there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop.

    Try disconnecting the battery several times and then connect.

    But according to your ad you tried a procedure and it doesn t work. So I think you should ask the ASP in your country to help.

  • Satellite L300 is dead - the battery light blinks orange 6 times

    Does anyone know what was the cause of this yellow flashing light?
    I have the same problem with a Satellite L300.

    Battery light flashes orange 6 times when I press the power button and nothing else happens. Dead laptop.
    I just picked up a service guarantee yesterday where they replaced memory card and the mother.
    He worked for 45 minutes then screen erased and won't turn on again.

    Anyone know about this problem?

    Hello

    The blink code provides some kind of clerical error, and this error is not always the same.

    Individual booklets are equiupped with different motherboards and provide different codes.

    It looks like a hardware problem and therefore, you should contact the ASP again.

    The warranty is still valid and you should take it!

    Don t waste time own investigation but get in touch with the guys again and explain your situation and that this error has occurred again.

    Welcome them

  • Satellite Pro 4600 battery flashing light

    The amber battery light flashes constantly and the battery won't charge or power out of the battery. I have replaced the battery, but still have the same problem. Y at - it a domestic or similar power Board which may be defective. Any help is appreciated!

    Hello

    There must be a hardware, perhaps with the electronic power supply problem.
    In this case, the motherboard should be replaced.
    But you should contact Toshiba service partner in your country. It can start some diagnostic tests and then it can give you a detail answer what's exactly wrong.

  • Battery light is steady amber the Satellite

    Hi all

    I recently had to change my laptop power adapter because it has stopped working. I was able to control the volume of the percentage out of her, and it was almost 0.

    However when I plug the new adapter/charger and turn on the laptop, it keeps permanently turned off as it loads Windows applications. I tried to put on with the battery disconnected, but it flashes the light output for fractions of a second and it remains off.

    The status of lights when the connection from the laptop to the power supply are:
    -Power led: FLASHING WHITE
    -Battery light: AMBER CONSTANT

    Any help with this will be appreciated.

    Kind regards

  • Screen does not light after the start, but after standby on Satellite M100

    Hello
    I have some experience with computers and laptops, but this problem exhausted all of my knowledge.
    My girlfriend has a Toshiba Satellite M100, PSMA1E. He currently works on Windows XP, SP3.
    The laptop has always had problems closing/stand bye. He would stand bye and the screen would not. She would usually be manually turn off (holding the power button) and restart.

    Same thing happened last week, but with me. I turned off the power button but when I turned it on the screen was completely black. After a few attempts, I realized that everything worked; I could hear the usual audio files and XP Boot, but there was no way I could get the job of the screen.

    The strangest thing is that the CMOS/BIOS, one with the Toshiba logo settings screen, also does not appear. If it's an OS problem, I thought that I would be able to access the BIOS at least, but it does not work. FN + F5 does not work.

    Then, strange yet something happened. I was turning it on and off with keyboard shortcuts and I realized that if I put on stand bye using shortcuts and then go back on the screen turns on perfectly well (there is a cause of adjustment resolution icons are irrelevant, but it works perfectly fine).

    From that on I tried everything I know. Update the BIOS, all Windows XP updates, all Toshiba QuickFix, cleaning the registry with different tools, uninstall and reinstall the video driver (ATI Radeon X 1400) utility, shortcuts keyboard, power saver, tools hardware Toshiba, looking to start up programs, services, everything I could possibly think off.

    What intrigues me is that the Toshiba start screen will not be displayed. I can't access the BIOS, but I tried to restore the standard values of the BIOS with Toshiba hardware tools. It did not work. I don't even know if reinstalling XP will work because whenever I turn it on it is all black and I have to make the stand bye / Tower on Tower.

    When I have it plugged into an external monitor, I could see all starting the process (initial screen of the BIOS and Windows). I then tried to access the video driver display configuration but it would show only the external monitor. It would only detect the laptop screen after a stand bye / turn back on, and then it worked perfectly: the screen two screens simultaneously, extended, everything. Ah, changing BIOS selection automatic the LCD + external monitor does not work.

    I am really puzzled here and I can't understand it. I really don't think it's a hardware problem, because the screen works 100% after the stand bye. I guess that XP is do something during the closing down that completely 'stops' my screen, even after starting, and then I can only turn it on with the thing stand bye.

    Any help would be really appreciated!

    Best,

    Hi guys

    I had a similar problem on a series of Satellite A200 and I could solve works to update the BIOS and update the graphics driver.
    In addition, you must make sure that all available MS fixes and patches have been installed.

    Unfortunately, but that's all I can suggest. If the problem persists and you would not be able to solve update components then an ASP needs to check.

    Good luck

  • Cannot start my Satellite A100 - 1 G - the battery light just flashes

    I have a laptop A100 - 1 G. Indicator of battery showed low and I plugged the power supply for the laptop and he showed the connection was made, later she flashed low battery connect to the power (although it was still connected) and then he would flash his load and then back to low battery, until it ends by died.
    Now it shows even not any light when I plug in the power adapter and start not upward, the battery light blinks just and nothing else.

    Help would be appreciated!

    I think the problem is the battery. Remove the battery from the laptop, connect only leave, adapter / it connected ten minutes and try to restart your laptop.

    Please let us know what happens when you do this.

  • Satellite M100-233: stops right after the "XP" logo

    Hello
    I have a Satellite M100-233 with XP Home Edition SP3 (in Portuguese)
    When it is connected to the mains and the battery is not fully charged, sometimes the yellow light does not shine.
    Check the voltmeter application when this happens, tells me that the battery is on, the energy source is the sector, but the battery runs down.
    As I continue to use the laptop, the amount of the battery is reported as progressively less, until he tends to zero, then the laptop just turned off, as if she was not connected to the mains.
    Even if I start with the battery charged to 100%, after a couple of hours (sometimes more, sometimes less) the same thing happens.

    From an authorized dealer, they told me that it was probably a short battery shorted out.

    Get not that: * if she take the battery out of the laptop and turn it on:
    -Most of the time it turns off right after the "XP" logo.
    -It seems that this happens more often when the battery was fully charged the last time that I used it (strange! "I imagine this?)
    -Also sometimes happens after that I use the laptop for a while

    The only unusual bios message I get is "no TPM or TPM has a problem." I guess it has to do with the cryptographic protection, so I imagine that this has nothing to do with this issue.
    About two years ago, there was a problem with the battery (it ceased to be recognized as present by the laptop) which has been repaired under warranty: they told me that they had replaced the motherboard then. However, at this time there that I could continue to work normally without the battery, which is not the case now.

    I would be grateful for any advice. The most annoying is that this problem follows an irregular pattern, and the diagnosis, the dealer gave me seems hard to believe. As I use my laptop to collect data for research abroad, it is quite a risk for me to use it if I can't be sure when it will turn off on its own.

    Hello

    To be honest, I doubt that anyone here in the forum would be able to provide an exactly the answer to this question
    I think that it of almost impossible to say what's wrong without running any hardware checks.

    But to me it looks like a card mother number possibly it s power of electronic power supply which is part of the motherboard.

    What to say, maybe you need a new motherboard, but the new mobo is an expensive item, and in my opinion, you should first check if it is s to replace the motherboard or buy a laptop second hand for the same money.

  • Satellite P850 32Z: battery not charging

    Recently, I had problems with the battery, which means that I need to plug my AC adapter all the time. The battery in the taskbar icon indicates that the battery is 68% and these last days. Placing the cursor on the icon says "plugged in, not charging", and the battery on the laptop light does not illuminate. If I unplug the AC adapter, the laptop shuts down completely.

    I also tried the cold reset following instructions (from the section "Solving a problem" to support)
    1. power off your laptop and unplug the AC adapter
    2. remove the battery from the PC (for models with semi-fixed battery, please follow these instructions)
    3. press the button power for 30 seconds.
    4. then, plug in the adapter without the battery, turn on your computer and start Windows normally
    5. wait 5 min. and then replace the battery on while your laptop is turned on

    In step 4, when I turned on the laptop, the laptop starts and the battery light is on. But then after a few seconds, the battery light turns off and the laptop turns off.

    Someone had this problem?

    I have the same question. I bought a new battery. It worked for about 1 hour from 67 percent and amounting to 100% and then my laptop just died. Now my old battery indicates 0%, no charge, my new battery says 0%, 8 minutes at full load. So I'm a little confused about this and don't know if it's only a battery error. I'm going to service this week, so I know what the problem. I have the Satellite P850 - 33 m
