• Satellite U500: Volume + button glue IT when it is connected to the power adapter

  I have a problem with the touch buttons on my U500. I have already returned the first laptop that I bought for the Exchange.

  The question is this:
  When the power cord is connected (without worrying if connected to the wall) the "Volume +" button will stick THERE.
  The volume will continue to rise, it cannot be muted or turned down as the + keeps repeating.
  Without the power cable inserted the works of buttons as expected (normally).

  I made the new installation of recovery discs - do not set (under Vista)
  Then another new installation Win7 upgrade and this new PC is having the same problem.
  At first, I thought a hardware fault (the new PC worked fine for awhile).
  But now the second PC has the same symptoms I suspect a software/driver problem.

  I've seen suggestions for similar questions to:

• Satellite A200 - touchpad random movement when it is connected to the power supply

  Hello
  When connected to power and press the pointer jumps on erratic (only by pressing the key) even if I hold my finger again.

  BUT if I keep in touch with what it is connected to computer laptop 'ground' such as the VGA connector then everything works correctly.

  Also if the laptop is sitting on my lap this also fixes the problem (I have experimented by placing it on a wet towel to simulate the protective effect of my body and it had the same effect, i.e. no pointer to nervousness).

  Finally when executing a stack, there is no problem.

  I tried implementing level and retirement of pilots and all sorts of permutations in the settings so I don't know it's a material thing. Disassemble the system to look at the connections of touch pad but nothing stood out.

  Does this problem familiar to someone or do you have ideas what tests I could do to identify the problem more away?

  Thank you

• How to control the battery charge when you are connected to the power adapter?

  I post here because I want to know if there is any software option that I can use to control on my load while I use the charger and the dough.

  EXPLAIN

  You know in IBM ThinkPad there are some utilities can help you master the power to CUT the battery charge and keep on the power of the charger and the battery is always on standby if it is OFF the bettery then work and never lose anydata

  I want to control the load while I'm working with battery and charger at the same time.

  I hope that claire ;)

  Hello

  It of not possible to control the battery charge using any software.
  The battery will begin to charge if the adapter has been connected to the laptop and it will stop the charge process after the adapter has been disconnected or if the battery is full.

  See you soon

• Satellite L650-12Z: led does not light up when it is connected to the power source

  My L650 doesn't show the white light anymore when the cable is connected.
  The connectors are clean, and the adapter does not work.

  The laptop still works on the farm (when he was still in power in).

  Also without the battery, there is no white light indicating that the laptop is connected to the domain controller.

  Anyone know what could be the problem and how to solve?

  Hello

  Battery is charging while the AC adapter is plugged?
  Are you sure that the adapter is OK?

  If the battery would be charged correctly and if the laptop works ok, only connected to the power adapter (without the battery) the a problem with the frame of the LED may be possible
  But in this case only the technician must test these parts

• My Satellite goes into battery mode despite being connected to the power adapter

  Y at - there anyone out there who can help me, please!

  I bought a Satellite a couple of years ago which worked well for a while - however, it has started to overheat a lot and kept stop without reason. After many searches on the net, I discovered that the fans were very likely blocked with dust? After you clean the laptop worked like a dream and as a Bunny happy I was!

  However, now a new problem has been its ugly reappearance - for some weird reason the laptop suddenly, without warning, past in dominant mode of battery despite being connected to the power adapter? He refuses to "acknowledge" that the adapter is plugged drains the battery quickly and then stops?

  I tried once more looking for an answer and it seems that I am not alone in suffering from this problem? I read that it is perhaps a bad connection between the adapter and the motherboard, but it would be expensive to fix? Others have said to try a new adapter, but I tried from another laptop and it still happens? I hesitate to implement local repair because sometimes, this problem may occur after half an hour and other times, that won't happen for hours and hours and it is difficult to explain the problem?

  There seems to be no rhyme or reason, but to crazy me on a regular basis!

  HI Deb,

  It is a common problem and can have several causes. The most common are a common defective soldering on the motherboard (where the socket is attached) and it can also be caused by a bad connection between the AC plug (at the end of the cable) and the socket on the laptop.

  Unfortunately, the standard response from most repairers is just to replace the motherboard, probably because it's faster for them and produced more revenue that comes to fix the connection.

  I solved this problem on my SA30 by pinching the cable ca to the back of my laptop in order to prevent any movement or tension on the connector. Unfortunately this will not help if the socket is already damaged, but it can reduce the incidence of the problem to occur.

  Kind regards

• Notebook15-r110na Energy Saver: my laptop screen has suddenly started to go black when I need to plug the power adapter

  Laptop screen has just started to go black when I need to plug the power adapter to recharge, if I get screen back to normal.  I have not downloaded anything new recently.  I have download the free 10 Windows but that was months ago.  Any help would be appreciated, but please not too technical as I'm not an expert on computers.

  Maybe the powerplan battery is changed or not properly configured. You can see the current powerplan thanks the battery status bar icon.
  Please check if the powerplan options are correct.
  More specific:
  Brightness updates when it is plugged into the charger OK?
  
  Also: If the screen goes black, can still use you the shortcut keyboard keys to adjust the brightness?

• Satellite L500-1UU - disconnect the battery when it is connected to the AC adapter / CC

  Hello world

  I have purshaced new Toshiba Satellite L500-1UU
  CPU: Intel (r) Core i3 CPU M330 2.13 GHz
  Physical memory: 4096MB RAM
  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 6.1.7600

  My question is: remove the battery when I use my computer laptop while its connected to the AC adapter would be wise or not? This would increase or decrease the life of the battery, or it will not affect anything?

  Is i3 processors have a technique of centrino disconnect battery power whent, it is fully charged?

  What do you think of this?

  Hi Khaild Essam,

  I agree with Akuma. There is no problem, remove the battery when the AC/DC adapter is connected. If you can do it. In addition the battery charge will be stopped if it s at full charge. The laptop consumes energy to AC/DC adapter only.

  If you remove the battery and work with AC/DC adapter only, the battery life will be improved a little because it s not in its use.

  I found an interesting document for you:

• Re: Satellite P850 full face feels 'sparkling' when it is connected to the power supply

  Hello

  I recently bought a P850 138.
  Whenever the power supply is connected and turned on the laptop case computer feels strange to the touch, and if you move your hand through it, as you often eventually do during the strike, etc., you get this weird 'static' y feeling.

  When you are disconnected from the power grid the sensation continues for a short while, but soon after the case feels just like normal metal again.

  I guess that something happens which is originally the case become statically charged, but does anyone have any ideas as to why what is happening? Is this a common problem?

  Any ideas?

  Thank you very much in advance for your answers

  Hi neh23

  It's the first time I read on this subject and in my opinion its definitely not a portable common behavior I think you should get in touch with a Toshiba service provider in your country to check the laptop.

• Help! Fuze heats up when it is connected to the pc...

  Hello

  I recently bought a 4g version black Sansa fuse and I got a little nasty gets hot problem-it when it is connected to the pc or the USB power adapter.

  I know that some readers mp3 or other devices can become hot during charging, but I really don't think that the above 50 ° c temperature is normal (since its even hotter tham my GPU...). Ive noticed a post on anythingbutipod.com where a guy had a same problem, so I just want to ask a few questions he did: is there the "anyone else having this problem as well? Should I worry about this? »

  BTW. My sister uses the same pc (even the same USB port ) to recharge his Creative Zen Stone and it does not seem to warm up. Oh, and the USB power adapter I have has the following specifications output: 5.0V +/-0, 1V and 150mA to 1000mA

  Thank you in advance... and sorry for my bad English (if its bad )

  It is not normal, please contact technical support for replacement or return it.

• Satellite A200 - STARTING problems, freezes on the connection of the power adapter

  My 3 YO A200 (PSAF3A-08202D has developed a problem with starting.
  I can start on battery power with WINDOWS VISTA BUSINESS (after 10 attempts, but freezes immediately when the power adapter is plugged in.)
  Display sometimes boots wide-screen, but mostly freezes before windows welcome.

  When running, the battery produces about 1 to 2 hours before a complete evacuation.
  When executing a battery, computer freezes when I plug Charger AC/DC immediately and going with my A100 charger as an alternative.

  Initial problem was a faulty hard drive and super hot air flow due to fluff the cooling block fan.
  Tech replaced original 120G HDD with 500 G and reloaded at the factory. works well for 3 months, then started with the same problems so conclude original disk HARD was just a secondary issue.

  So maybe fixed I overheated components on the motherboard. Reset of data cards initially fixed a problem starting but is gradually degraded.

  Reading through the forums seems that there is a huge amount of these laptops with similar issues. Is this a design flaw, like my other Satellite A100 is solid as a rock. All forums, which suggests resetting the cpu is running slow or be disconnected seem to be temporary repairs. Boot in safe mode and reset the default settings have no effect.

  A suggestion that a capacitor is at fault seems to be the fix is valid but which involves specialized tools is not available locally. Local agent of Harvey Norman for Toshiba are best part of unnecessary because they can send in Australia from Toshiba. Machine has been close to $2000 and is now worth Zip.

  I am unable to do anything with this machine, as all the ways of upgrading or resetting calls for AC power available and running.

  I'm about to do radical things and hope that this forum can enlighten us.

  Hi Mickaël

  You might be right. It seems that the motherboard is affected.
  Don't know why but higher temperature can still affect the internal parts.
  The temperature may increase if cooling fans n t working correctly. For example dust or debris leads to a higher temperature because cooling air cannot circulate properly.

  I have to clean my laptop's cooling grilles from time to time using a jet of compressed air. This allows to keep the temperature at the lower level.
  Of course the internal temperature is not always a reason for portable computers hardware malfunction equipment can begin to malfunction as always in an other products too: TVs, cars, game consoles

  I bought an extended warranty for my laptop, also for my LCD TV mercy always if a high-end product begin to malfunction and in the case of a warranty claim, the fault can be fixed free of charge.

• Windows does not load and displays a black screen when it is connected to the power supply

  Original title - Windows Vista running on my laptop Sony VAIO

  Trying to turn on my laptop using the built in battery nothing happens.  When the laptop is connected to the power supply and turned on Windows does not.  It shows something in the sense that it does not properly off.  It tries to load back to a system restore point before the last stop, but seems to fail again during this process.  All that is displayed is a black screen. Currently the power on light is on, the battery light is on, but the drive activity light is off.

  Yet once again, I switched on the laptop and finally the Startup Repair process is automatically called.  After the display of the bar to attempt repairs, the system has been repaired successfully.  As a result, the I ran my Norton anti-virus, followed by Windows Updatesoftware.

• "Change the graphics card" spam message when you are connected to the AC adapter / CC

  Normally, I run my laptop computer Alienware 17 dedicated graphics processor NVIDIA with integrated graphics off. However, I've recently been submerged do with the following message will be displayed that plugged my AC adapter: "switch of graphics card. "For the life of optimal dough, press Fn + F5 to switch to the integrated graphics card (a system Reboot is required).

  I noticed this a couple of days, because as soon as I plug my adapter by practicing a game (for example, the Lord of the Rings Online) my fps drops dramatically. I realized that if I tap ctrl + alt + delete as the above message keeps popping up. If I close the message in a new guard burst until I have unplug the power adapter.

  To my knowledge, it is normal that the message appears when the plug/unplug the power adapter for the first time, but I can't understand why it is me spamming with this message even after I close it at the start. I tried to update my NVIDIA graphics card, have changed again my computer of the discrete graphics integrated graphics and back to the integrated graphics card, have made sure that NVIDIA is selected as my discrete graphics and have updated my BIOS. None of them help.

  If anyone knows what's going on or if there is a way to disable this notification, I would really appreciate it!

  PS My power adapter works fine (it is not loose or damaged) and I ran diagnosis at startup which showed all systems running 100%.

  After much further research, I was able to find a way to disable the notification.

  Windows + R, type msconfig, then click on the Startup tab to open the Task Manager and disable the display on-screen Alienware. Restart the computer, and the popup no longer appears.

• Satellite Pro L300D started crashing when you are connected to the projector

  Hi all, I have a Satellite Pro L300D, have since January. In March of this year, it developed a problem.
  He began to turn the power on and off screen until I got the blue screen of death and had to reboot the laptop, also BIOS crashed. He was sent to Toshiba and got sorted.

  I use the laptop in the Church for the presentation to the powerpoint, we use a projector that connects to the video output on the laptop, but it has now begun to crash whenever I connect the projector to your laptop.

  Can I use the powerpoint, switch to the view of presenters and show the presentation of 30 minutes, then the screen goes black for about a second, the laptop and the projector off, then when they come again, I get a message saying that the display driver has been restarted, little after that the screen turns off, and then market / stop about six times before that I get the BSOD.

  Also, if I show a clip AVI or video during the presentation, it will crash soon after or even before its done.

  Have updated the drivers for laptop, I always get a message stating all the drivers are up to date and I am quite at a loss to know what to do next.

  To be honest, I'm so fed up with it that I am almost to the point of buying an Apple Mac Pro and away from Windows-based computers all together, my friends have macs and they never have any problem.

  Someone at - it an idea on what could be the problem?

  RGS
  James

  Hello James

  Can you please tell me what mode you are using for the presentation?
  Is that what this duplication mode (the same image on the LCD screen and the external device) or something else?
  Do you have problems if you use the single external device (LCD screen is OFF)?

  Movie files can be problematic if you run on laptops LCD and try to switch to the external display while the movie is running.
