Satellite MX30: After water spill laptop without the display starts

Hello

I have a portable mx30 satellite and the problem is at some point, someone had poured a liquid any on the keyboard, I think he could have water.
in any case I noticed that the laptop starts not after that, and yes it was still plugged into the power outlet so im guessing it could cause a short circuit and blew a chip.

I took it apart and noticed that there was a build up of dirt where the spill was of course. So I'm taking a few q-tips wall and carefully cleaned it on using a small amount of contact spray.
I waited several hours to make sure everything was dry and have still no splash screen, because it was not before.

However the laptop turns on and stays on with the power supply (no display) and without battery in. If I put the battery and plug it starts (no display) it remains on during a few seconds then turns off.

I think that the screen could be due to the failure on the system board or the memeory module failure.

anyone else has any ideas.
Thank you

I know it isn't going to be very useful for you now, because it looks like it's been a while in this condition. Electronic devices are often more durable than we imagine when they are subjected to the wicked as the water damage. The trick is usually to remove all batteries, unplug the sector, remove as much as possible without breaking, dry as much as you can with a towel (if it was something sticky like coca cola, you can wipe with water cold Kettle), then let all the pieces on the night under a lamp placed at about 12 inches apart. Back, then try it, but ask someone to hold a wooden broom handle to push you away from electricity, so everything passes from kaka.

If you have gunge, there's a chance it's supposed to be there, a sort of dough, and you can not to he will wipe away. If there is no obvious or not obvoius of water, hide between the display cable (which can resemble a 35mm film) try pulling away with toilet paper and very gently clean contacts you will see that surround it.

The other thing you can do is check that no cables are disconnected during disassembly and reassembly. Give all that he received a tugboat then disassemble a push strong but soft back in, or if you can pull things out and push them in all the better. Word stress is SWEET.

Chances are good, that'll cost you money.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA9C does not work without the battery inside

    I'm having a strange problem with a laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA9C-SK900E).

    The machine will not work without the battery in it. If the power supply is connected in the machine and the wall, it will power without the battery installed. If I install the battery, let it load completely (battery LED goes from orange to blue and the plug LED is blue) then start the machine it will work for a period of time (more than an hour depending on what I'm doing) then suddenly turns off.

    If I restart the machine, it will work for a very short period (sometimes only for a few minutes) just before going off.

    If I do this a couple times, the machine will be not even by post before turning off.
    If I let the machine to recharge, it runs for a while and then do the same thing after using it for a while.
    If the battery is pooched, which is fine with me. How to operate with only the power supply of the machine?

    As I type this I'm suspecting that the adapter cannot be taken out the required voltage/amperage. (adapter is not still hot when charging, are my other laptops) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If I understand your assignment, the laptop does not power up without the battery
    But it will light if the battery is connected.

    The question is; Is the power led on if the AC adapter is plugged?
    If this isn't the case, then it means that the power adapter is faulty and so the laptop cannot be turned on by using only the AC adapter.

    I think you should test a new adapter. Maybe it helps!

  • Can I use the laptop without the battery?

    Hello

    The other day, I bought my first laptop. A 17 '' HP Pavilion running Windows 7. My question is can I remove the battery and just run through the power cable? I heard that you can with some laptops, but not with others.

    I have take the laptop with me places that I will use it as a PC of office most of the time. I guess that charge and discharge the battery in time, will be so if I need to use it on the road I might as well give the battery a rest.

    Many people now use a laptop in the same way as a desktop computer, at work or at home. As the laptop is plugged in and rarely/never moved or disconnected or completely stop, simply allowing it to enter the mode "shall". Such use does not seem to contribute to battery decline we see here a lot of messages. HP & other manufacturers do not recommend removing the battery in such a case. Since I unplug/move mine sometimes I keep the battery in and don't forget to unplug and leave it to unload and reload periodically. This has worked well for me.

  • Satellite L500 with XP - where to find the display driver

    I have a new Satellite L500.
    I installed XP and I can not find the display drivers.
    The display is an ati mobility radeon hd 4500.

    I found only the drivers for vista.
    If a person has found that xp drivers?

    Hello

    You are right. The European driver Toshiba page does not provide a Win XP drivers for this laptop yet.

    But I think that you should not worry much laptops are equipped with the same GPU chip.
    I recommend checking the previous series of Toshiba laptops and trying to install this driver.

    In the worst case you will have to google a bit for a Win XP ATI mobility Radeon HD 4500 driver.

    If you find such driver then you could install it in Device Manager by using the Advanced installation procedure. This will help you to point to the driver files that you have downloaded and stored on the HARD drive. This facility works almost every time

  • Satellite P300D 10V - how can I update the display driver?

    I have a Satellite P300D 10V and there ATI radeon hd 3xxx series display panel. I bought Starcraft 2 and there was an error message: that the display driver is outdated.

    I went on ati.com. They say I have to get the driver from Toshiba. I went to Toshiba, had the driver. When you try to install it says no components to install. I uninstalled the ati driver and tried again. The same thing.

    Now I don't have driver for the graphics card. How can I install the driver?

    Help, please!

    Hey,.

    This means that you have uninstalled the old display driver, but now, you are not able to install the latest version of Toshiba?
    Well, what OS do you have?

    Before installing the new display driver, you should decompress all the files. Then run the setup.exe file.
    If you get the same error message, try to install the driver through the Device Manager.

  • Satellite L650-11F - question about brightness of the display by using Win XP

    I apologize;
    I want to know is why in windows xp before you plug the adapter into the laptop (Toshiba L650-11F), screen light is bright, but when I drag the adapter, the display light is dark? And the driver is installed

    Please help me

    Hello

    Alternatively, you can change the brightness of the screen by using the FN + F6 and FN F7.
    But as mentioned by Akuma; You should check the power options.
    I guess that the Toshiba Power Saver is installed because you use Win XP.

    In the configuration of the Toshiba Power Saver, you can assign the screen brightness level to certain power profile. For example; You can define a profile of power when the laptop is connected to the power adapter or another profile of power for battery operation.

    Perhaps the brightness of the display is set to a lower level, while the laptop works on sector
    Then change this value, and I think that this will solve your problem.

  • Satellite Pro A40 does not start after water spilled on it

    Hello

    I have a problem with the laptop of my companion. After she pours water on her, she has stopped working (no surprise really lol). I took it to pieces, right down to remove the motherboard to try to find the fault. Now when the AC is connected and batt is in place, NIP of the led, same thing happens without batt.

    BUT the computer does not light when you press the power button. Im guessing that it is a hardware failure, since water isn't really best friend elecrtics, but I was hoping someone else might have other ideas/solutions?

    I searched the toshiba site and found nothing on this laptop.

    Any help is very appreciated!

    Hello Danny

    You are absolutely right. It's probably hardware failure and I fear that the motherboard must be replaced. I recommend you contact Toshiba service partners in your country and look for info on the repair and costs.

    Good luck!

    If a fuse is burnt?

    I don't know much about the hardware, but my guess is that there is at least a fuse in my laptop? But where and how to find the fuse? And how do I check if it is burned?

    Hello

    Well my friend, I think that in this case you need professional help. At present, no one is able to say what parts are damaged now and need to be replaced.
    I guess you need a new mainboard, and perhaps many other parts also.

    The best way is to go to a technician for laptop and ask for help. Technicians can check your laptop and determine which parts are damaged.

  • 4 keys does not work after water spilled on Presario CQ61-313US

    After that a small amount of water is spilled on the keyboard Presario CQ61-313US 3 keys, E, D and C don't work at all.  Tried spraying with air; no luck.  Tried a shot of cleaning electronic; It still does not.  I'm careful to try any more electronic vacuum, as it can dissolve the plastic.  I found the manual online at the removal of the keyboard but... is this really the only solution?

    Unfortunately Yes, he must disassemble the keyboard, let it dry or clean out then he try again. No software or drivers can help. I'm sorry.

    Your computer is still under warranty? you have this protection against accidental damage? Chances are you have to pay for the service and which is about $400. Do it yourself and at the end of the day, maybe buy a replacement keyboard at a lower price.
