Satellite P10 power problem

Satellite P10-317

* Symptoms *:

External DC LED stays on, but battery LED turns OFF (from green or orange) and laptop running on battery power only (Toshiba Power Management panel says that it has external DC AND the battery runs down). Disconnect and reconnect external DC does not cure but put into hibernation and resume the battery LED lights up again and he fled the external domain controller. If no battery is not connected, laptop just dies. Unfortunately, the problem is very intermittent. The battery is new and normally charges/discharges.

* Diagnosis * (tentative): the DC regulator on board is dying

* Question *: does anyone have the circuit diagrams? (anyone else seen this problem & what is the cure?)

Thank you

Julian

Hello

AFAIK this diagram is part of the maintenance manuals and is not a public document. Because of that I am quite skeptical that someone can help you with it. You can try to contact the nearest authorized service provider. They have these documents, and perhaps they are ready to help you.

Make a call.

  • Satellite P10 power problems

    My P10 is just over a year and has developed feeding problems. It does not seem to register on drums (Iget the a/c light green, orange for the battery) and it won't let me turn it on. Leave it plugged to charge doesn't seem to help. It is intermittent, because it then allows himself to be put on sometimes but will turns off completely at random and then go 12 rounds insertingand uninserting the battery and the son of a/c. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Unplug the unit and remove the battery for a few minutes. Put it back inside, plug in the AC adapter and try restarting the device.

  • With Satellite A30 power problems

    Hello

    Over the last four years, I have been using a Satellite A30 with XP Pro... had no problems whats so ever until that last months... I started to notice the battery life becomes lower before (prob because of the decrease in battery life) but also when he is on the grid it will charge the battery to 100% but instead of power are removed from the sector It starts to drain the battery even when the sector is connected.

    Another problem is that I have to keep or stop the laptop goes into hibernation mode so it can recognize it is powered from the battery to load... even in this case, it may take several attempts for the laptop to begin to charge the battery...

    These problems started start after warranty, and was released in additional insurance coverage

    Any information or help gladly appreciate it that I fight to get assignments done University

    Thank you

    Ben

    Hi mate,

    had a similar problem with an other friend A30. After sending the machine to an ASP (certified partner), they told us that the internal charger was defective and they have offered to swap the motherboard.
    But given that the motherboard was really expensive for him he sold the machine on Ebay and bought and Satellite A200 which is a machine really well.

    I guess that the motherboard is gone...

    That's all

    See you soon

  • Satellite P10: Graphic problem - pixel jump upward and down

    What's wrong? If I move my P10, when it is turned on, the graphics sometimes work with failure - pixel jump up and down and the perspective is wrong materialized. What should I do? where is the problem?

    Thanks for your answers...

    Hello

    On this path, it is not easy to tell what the problem may be, but I guess that there is some malfunction of the equipment. Believe me, just intensive investigation may give you more answers.

    The only thing you can do is to reinstall the unit with recovery media and check if it works again. If Yes, what is certainly a hardware problem.

  • Satellite A500 - power problems while game

    I was wondering if Satellite A500 users have had the same problem as me. I got my laptop to 10 months and for the last 2 months I get really bad heating problems with my laptop. I have tried everything to clean the laptop with a can to purchase under product cooling fan air to try to stop the tap from the bottom during the game but no luck.

    I want to come to a point were I think that its time to back the laptop to toshiba and ask for a replacement or a new laptop as after spending nearly £700 for laptop Gamers its just not up to scratch.

    Any help would be most appreciated that I get at the end of my patience with her. Now stop playing Aliens Vs Predators live x 11 and the Lord of the Rings Online and Supreme Commander 2, name a few.

    Also, I was watching a DVD using the HDMI port and it did for me then also.

    Help, please.

    Hi HellspwanUK,

    So if your laptop stops all at stake, it would be interesting to know what OS you have installed what is driving display and you are using. This behavior is typical if you use nVidia display drivers rather Toshiba display drivers. The nVidia drivers don't have protection against overheating and different thermal management. This means that your graphics card would go on the highest level, so it might be overheating and closed.
    I would recommend most recent installation display driver official of Toshiba page for your model.

    And have you cleaned your laptop as described here:

    In addition, I would also check the BIOS. Have you installed the latest version of the BIOS?

  • Satellite M30X - power problems

    When the laptop is plugged in (with the battery) the LED on the show before it has AC power to the laptop and the battery is charging. As soon as I try to turn on the laptop, the battery light turns off and the power led lights up. However, he never stays, he sometimes makes as much as windows sometimes cut it during boot up.

    I thought initially it was mabey a problem with the battery. So I tried out the battery and power on. The green light is stays on showing that the laptop has AC power but the light power light just and then turns off again immediately. It is not a battery because the laptop should still work without it.

    Then I thought it must be something to do with the power adapter. But the green light on the front shows that it is powered okay and, apparently, the battery recharges. I also tried to check the power cablw with a meter, and he showed that he is a 19V output (exact, the power supply).

    So the battery is ok the power supply is ok... so where else could the problem be?

    Hello

    There would be something wrong with the electronic power supply.
    In this case, you should contact the ASP in your country
    because he can check it out and starts a few diagnostic tests.

  • Satellite P10 554 problem intel wireless 2200BG

    Hello

    I ve got a P10-554 and tried to install a mini-PCI Intel 2200BG card. the driver is correct installed but the work of won´t-hardware switch. I have could´t turn on the wireless card.

    in another P10 554 a 2100 b card work very well.

    Anyone know why?

    Hello

    It is possible that new generation cards cannot be activated by a wireless switch. I'm not sure that f happens only with Intel adapters. Please check in Device Manager if the card is recognized and installed correctly. If so try to establish a wireless connection.

    I'm sure it should work correctly.

  • Re: Satellite L30 Power problem

    Hi all

    I am a repairer of computer in Australia and I have a laptop satellite L30 customers. The cable between the motherboard and the DC IN port broke with the solder, and I need to buy a new. Does anyone know where I can get one or how it's called so I can look for one on the net.

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion, it is a special part for laptop (L30) and I think that you could buy it only of the ASP in your country
    The partner of service authorized in your country should be able to help, and in the worst case (if this part is not available) they could order from Toshiba doll.

  • Problem of Toshiba Satellite P10 laptop!

    Hello!

    I have a laptop TOSHIBA Satellite P10, Windows XP.

    This is a new computer, not second hand!
    The problem is that it stops when I connect it to the power adapter.

    The only way I can work is it charge when turned off and then use it on battery.

    The problem appeared after I bought it 20 days.
    I sent it to the service of TOSHIBA, they have updated the BIOS, it worked perfectly for 5 hours (connected to the power adapter), and then the same problem appeared.

    Do you have any suggestions?
    I'm looking forward to your answers!

    Christina

    Hello Christina,

    Your laptop is replisse or herself down suddenly or do a controlled stop? What happens when you power on your portable computer when the power adapter is plugged?

  • Satellite P10-304 power until now

    Hello

    Got the machine Satellite P10-304, which won't turn on after the 2nd attempt. What happened: -.

    Machine power of cold - booted Windows XP ok start. After 5-10 minutes, the machine screen is dimmed (resembles backlight is gone) and couldn't turn off the machine by pressing button, so had to remove the battery to kill machine power.

    Now machine won't turn on (same battery fully charged), when I pressed the power button, I get a light flashed orange once inside the circle of blue light around power button / stop.
    Leave the machine shut down for about an hour and machine started in the BIOS screen, then after 3 minutes the screen is dimmed. Machine unbootable. Checked AC adapter and get 19.3Volts and 6.1Amp for power unit ok.

    Looks like the motherboard plays up and needs to be replaced? Dose - that someone has encountered this problem before?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    > Sounds like the motherboard plays up and needs to be replaced?
    Yes, it seems so :(

    Maybe it s not the motherboard, but another part of the material. But to be honest, you should go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the laptop to determine what the problem is exactly.
    And here, you can search the nearest ASP:

  • I can't start with Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more

    I can't start my Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more.
    Sometimes, very rarely its starts when I hold the power button for a while say 10 seconds.

    I tested the power supply and a battery to my friends P10 (of the same type) and both work very well.

    So it must be a problem with the key.
    No idea what to do?

    Thanks for any help

    The best.

    Tobias

    If it s a button or a power supply electronic problem, then you can't do anything.
    In this case assistance by the technicians of laptop would be necessary.

    But the next time that you should try this option if the laptop turns on not;
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the laptop for about 30 min.

    After this short period of time to reconnect the two parts and check if the laptop could start.

    Good luck

  • Satellite P10-304 - update Windows 7 problem

    I have a Satellite P10 304 to 2003 which has Windows XP, but I need to update for obvious reasons. I bought a copy of Windows 7 (32 bit) and installed without any installation problem, however I can't update Windows.

    I reinstalled, deleted the hard drive and reinstalled again. Tried the stop and start the Windows Update utility.
    Downloaded the stand-alone Windows Update.

    Updated the BIOS to V2.0 and downloaded the Toshiba Service Station application (who says no update is necessary).
    All this without success.

    My hopes were raised when I saw that the Station Service for Windows 7 32 bit software was available for the P10 304 but I am now at a loss.

    Anyone know if this laptop can be upgraded to Windows 7 and how to get updates of work?

    Help is welcome.

    Peter

    I'm sure that installation of Windows 7 update problems are not specific to Toshiba problems even if you use the Toshiba laptop.

    From my point of few, you should check the Microsoft support pages to find the solution.
    For example this:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/w...#1TC=Windows-7

    Just a tip: I had some problems in the past to install updates because of the antirust software. He locked the installation of some essential updates and after you disable temporal, updates could be installed...
    Missing Service Packs might concern the single installation of patches.

    I recently bought a Satellite P10 371, to use on business when away from home and I am a newcomer in the world of networks

    The problem is that I do not get an internet connection. When I start the Configfree physician connectivity, it shows an orange alert triangle between Lan Wireless mini-PCI card and the wireless access point and a status of the cut-off line.

    The Wireless Lan mini PCI card is enabled but WAP disabled.

    While I have no point of access (router) set up in the House, I had to travel to try to get a connection.

    The wireless network settings are for windows set up my wireless network.

    It says under available networks and the box is empty.

    Can someone tell me where I'm wrong? any help on this would be appreciated.

    This does not mean that the box is empty.

  • Power on the Satellite Pro 3000 problem

    Wives Satellite S3000 has developed what appears to be a power problem

    Last night it started indicating that he doesn't have the power of the DC input... This seemed to be a fault of internittent stirring casued DC input light to return cable. Taking the DC Jack off main cable, I discovered that one of the two pins was broken.

    Is out today and bought a new 5.5mm/2.5mm DC Jack and reconnected thinking that everything would be OK... but there is no response from the laptop... the DC input light does not come on and neither does the indicator "charging battery".

    A multimeter indicates there is 19v DC decision-making.

    It seems to me that there may be an internal power problem. Otherwise there may be a problem with the power with respect to the current delivery.

    A battery totally buggered may this "non-response"? I expect the laptop to operate on DC power regardless of the internal State and secondary battery.

    Ideas appreciated... will see if I can alternative power source and try it before resorting to delve into the bowels of the thing!

    Thank you

    Hello

    > A battery totally buggered may this "non-response"? I expect the laptop to operate on DC power regardless of the internal State and secondary battery.

    The laptop should run without battery. If the adapter is ok and if it was connected to the laptop, then it should be possible to start the machine.

    If the laptop does not start, then it must be a hardware problem.
    But believe me; It's not easy to say what exactly is the problem.

    Maybe you bought only a bad power adapter that is not compatible with the Sat Pro 3000?
    Or maybe there is something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard?
    Who knows?  :| Only the technician who checked the laptop can provide an exact error diagnostic.

  • Sudden loss of power if it works on battery on Satellite P10

    I have problems with the battery on my satellite P10. I can use the laptop very well when I'm on the current, but when I want to run on battery, it will last awhile (showing 100% decreasing slowly as usual) then will suddenly change to 5% and turn off due to the critical battery level.

    Can someone help me?

    I wouldn't have thought, it's just a case of having to replace the battery, because he suddenly disappeared like this, it has not got gradually worse over time.

    Thank you

    Hello

    How old is your battery and how many times have you loaded and unloaded battery?
    Usually after one year or 500times charge/discharge, the battery slowly loses performance
    In my opinion, it is simply a matter of battery and the battery must be replaced to solve this problem
    Just contact the ASP in your country and order the new and compatible battery!
