• Blue screen on Satellite P30-130 at the start

  Dear friends,
  I have buyed a Satellite P30-130 (PSP30E-20E019IT) about 4 years ago.
  2 months next to the date when I bought the laptop, I saw a blue screen in the start menu upwards or in the first five minutes that the operating system starts.

  In other circumstances, I see no message start and any sound message and if portable starting stuck with black screen.
  Support the customer in my area of toshiba didn't this year, all the possible solutions to this problem and the warrantly is finished and I can't use my PC.
  You know I can see to resolve this problem?
  On the HP site for other phones I can find a short list of possible courses and possible solutions (Bios, HD and so on).

  Can you help me?

  Hello

  Bluescreens can have different reasons so it s is not easy what causes this problem. Normally, Bluescreen related to drivers or a faulty hardware (RAM or HARD drive).

  But have you tried an external monitor now? Maybe the internal monitor is defective if you get a black screen.
  Check it!

  I put t know what you hear with customer support, exactly, but on the Toshiba site you can find a list of all authorized service provider. Call them and explain your situation. They can help you as they can order spare parts Toshiba.

  Good luck! :)

• My battery stopped charging. For four days, the power button says "59% available (plugged in, does not support)."

  * Original title: charging the battery

  My battery stopped charging. For four days, the power button says "59% available (plugged in, does not support)."

  How can I get the computer to start the battery again?

  The battery is probably faulty. You can say as follows:

  1. Shut down Windows.
  2. Remove the battery.
  3. Wait an hour.
  4. The power supply is cold? If Yes, then the laptop consumes no power (which is normal).
  5. Insert the battery.
  6. Wait an hour.
  7. The power supply is hot? If so, the battery is recharged.
  8. Start normally and check the charge level. If she's still around 59% while the battery no longer accepts the full load. You need to replace it.

• Satellite C50 - A - 1 7 - battery stopped charging

  My C50 is a battery problem. A few weeks, it stopped charging. He began to load (as seen on the windows startup icon) slowly to 61% then zipped to 100%. But since then, the computer does not work on battery power. The charging light does not illuminate (, but has then before). Because all intends and purposes, it seems that there is no battery present, except that the software (windows and toshiba help stuff) insists it is a fully charged battery.

  Now, it's probably a defective battery or connector, but to avoid going to the shop unnecessarily, I would check if there is an update of the bios available. Since it is a relatively new, maybe not, but the toshiba site is not the clearest. Anyway I couldn't find any update of the bios on the pages for Satellite C50 - A - 1 7.
  My bios is currently 1.20 with EC version 1.00

  TNX

  To be honest I don't think that the BIOS update can be the solution for this. Anyway, you can check what version of BIOS is available on the download page for BIOS - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp

  I'm afraid, you must contact the nearest Toshiba service Mr. they have special tools and can check the operation of the equipment.

• Satellite A30: when the adapter is connected the battery stops charging

  Using a Satellite A30 about three years. Recent problem is that while the power adapter is plugged the battery stops in charge, the orange battery indicator turns off.

  If you look at the power management utility battery poweer bed On Line, % of discharge meter

  So he can load either, I have to turn the machine off (completely or to hibernate) then remove the power cable and reintegrate them, then the battery light turns on. When restart the battery will begin charging for a while, and then for no apparent reason in defence start.

  If left reaches 0% battery - the machine continues to operate when the power cable is connected so its power do ok, but of course starts to beep when it goes below 10%. To get it going again, I need to stop and restart etc.

  I have checked the bios and have the latest version.

  I cleaned around the outlet heat exchanger and deleted all the fluff.

  I use a generic adapter that the original does not, but as far as I can tell its working normally.

  Hi Richard,

  Your problem is caused by a bad connection where the power adapter is connected to the Jack at the back of your laptop. A slight movement of the cable causes a momentary loss of contact and electronics of management power in Notepad is deceived into beleiving that the battery is no longer available, in which case when the battery goes out and the laptop will return to the battery power even if the AC adapter is connected. As you have already discovered, turn off the laptop will be all back to normal.

  I have experienced the same situation with my A30-141 and have not yet found one solution other than to resort to power off the laptop computer, but I managed to avoid the problem occurs by pinching the cable ca at the back of the laptop so that there is no risk of power do not connect the bending in order to trigger the problem in the first place. This has been a remarkable success to date, and I didn't have a problem for several months now.

  Obviously, it is not a "cure" for the problem but the frustration it causes.

  Kind regards

• Satellite P30 seems to completely charge the battery only when the unit is turned off completely

  Hi, I have my Toshiba Satellite p30 and only works on battery. This unit operate on sector or only on the battery as after the period of time go down the warning, then closes. The orange light fades in and out, but seems that it will only fully charge when the unit is turned off completely.

  I only just received this unit so bit of a novice.

  MASH

  Hello

  normally, the battery should always charge until it is full when the power is connected.
  If you have an orange light flashes, it means that something is wrong. Maybe your battery is faulty or something else. This should be checked by a technician.

  Good bye

• Installation of WIn XP Pro Satellite P30-130

  Hello
  I need to install windows XP Professional on a P30-130 Saltellite. Is this possible?
  There is full compatibility?

  Thank you
  Daniele

  Hello

  As far as I know your device comes with Windows XP Home Edition, but you can install professional at any time. All the drivers, tools and utilities that you have on the CD-ROM of the tools can also be used with professional.

  As Tom says check the installations instructions and install all of the components in the order. It is very important.

• Satellite Pro A100: Battery not charging

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone can help. I have the laptop above and just before the warranty run out, I had a problem with the power cable because it would not require the laptop and would also make a funny type of sparking sound.

  I sent it to Toshiba who could not find any problem with him (he did only occasionally - usually after using it for an hour or two) and the laptop returned me which worked well.

  Shortly after the warranty missed, I had another problem with the power. The laptop battery is dead and the power cable would not charge the battery at all. When the laptop is connected or not connected, the only light I get when you press the power button is the orange flashing light telling me that the battery has no charge.

  So I bought a new power cable thinking it would fix the problem, to find that this was not the case and the laptop would not even charge.

  I Dove and bought a new battery hoping that was what was causing the problem, only discover that even once the battery was not at fault either.

  If someone had a similar problem or know someone how / repair shop what to do to solve this problem without having to spend a fortune on take it to a PC? After calling trick a couple where I live, they said they would only do what I did - change battery and charger - and if that did not fix then told me to buy a new laptop.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  Sorry for this news but this question looks very bad.
  First of all my first thought was a battery defective, but according to your message, we can exclude this possibility

  Everything looks like a malfunction of the card mother:(bien sûr ce n'est qu'une suggestion, mais si l'adaptateur est ok et la nouvelle batterie doesn t trop puis une panne de carte mère est possible.)

  I think that there is not much to do. First, you must be 100% sure of the breakdown. Verification of the laptop is so necessary and inevitable to see what's exactly wrong.
  That's why I really would recommend contacting an ASP and ask for details and additional handling.

  But be aware that the exchange of the mobo is a costly affair because the motherboard is one of the parts expensive notebooks. Lets hope you n t need to replace it

  Good luck

• Battery stopped charging...

  Hey you...

  My computer hp laptop i3 WWindows7 Home Basic 64-bit version... Its battery is not... It shows "battery 28 percent, connected, do not load.

  And

  It starts on the cable. And when I disable Microsoft adapter in Device Manager, it continues to work on battery, but battery does not charge.

  Please tell me a solution...

  Thank you... Sincerely...

  Titia,

  There are several discussions in this forum about these problems.  For some computers, the cause is an incorrect setting on the usefulness of a PC manufacturer who aims to protect the battery life by limiting the load periods.

• Satellite P15 - if the plug comes out, the battery stops charging

  My Toshiba is rather annoying. I hope there is a solution to this and it is not integrated in the computer by braindead materials developers.

  My battery is toast. For a long time. I find the computer works very well if the power cable is in. If she comes out, the battery has usually about a minute and a half of her life. However, what makes me shit off the coast, it is that the battery does not load again. He will sit and drain his power to zero, even with cable connected sector, if the plug is disconnected even for a millisecond. The only way to load it again, is to shut off the computer and start upward.

  What the hell?

  Hi floydien,

  Wow, Satellite P15 is really an oldie.

  I m not an expert, but to me this looks like a battery or motherboard problem. A battery can be recharged about 500 times and after that it will lose a lot of power. This means that you can work a few minutes only on battery mode.

  In your case, I'll try a new battery. If it doesn t work I think you need a new mainboard.
  Also take a look on eBay. There you can get second hand cheap parts sometimes.

• Satellite A60 - laptop battery not charge/work

  Hello

  My stop laptop when you use the battery power. It will not re-start until I plugged in to the power supply. Every time I disconnected power laptop would shutdown. laptop does not work on batteries, no lights are working.
  When it is plugged seeing orange lights. Battery remains 90% fresh even after hours on departure av! I suggest that I can't use the battery power and the battery won't charge.
  Only a new battery in a month and has worked well up until now.

  I tried toshiba control energy saver but made no difference.

  I can't say with certainty if this happens because of the battery or something. In my opinion, it can be either battery or electronic power supply.
  Satellite A60's old laptop and everything is possible.

  Pre-installed software doesn t have a any influence on this. Toshiba power saver is preinstalled to consumption, Manager, with other words to help reduce battery power consumption and longer battery.

• Satellite M70-340 battery not charging

  I had a problem with a Toshiba Satellite M70 - 340 portable hard drive, but everything else worked perfectly, and it was possible to operate on battery power. So I sent it to a maintenance shop where they changed the hard drive and installed a fresh new copy of Windows XP. Once I got it I found that I am not able to turn it back on, except when it is connected to electricity and after a little or looking around, I found out that the battery is not.

  In addition to this, when I plug first laptop for electricity while it is turned off, the yellow/orange battery LED lights only for like 3 seconds. And even if it is activated, the led is still off, and the the battery icon on the status bar indicates that the laptop works on AC and does not say that the battery charge, he repeats to me 1%.

  I also tried leaving it plugged to AC while it is off, hoping he can recharge, but I bite the dust.

  So what would cause the battery won't charge if from one day to another (and just by changing the HARD drive and install a fresh copy of windows XP), the battery has stopped working?

  And I was just wondering is an update of the BIOS or your driver fix? I want to say a battery need some kind of driver or software to run?

  Thank you

  Hello Zaher

  I have Satellite M70-159 and issue described is not known to me. If you are sure that this strange issue started after get it back you with 100% service I recommend you speak again with technicians.

  Behavior described is not really normal. As much I know BIOS update or drivers have no influence on it and to me it sounds like a malfunction of the equipment.

  BTW: remove the battery, connect the laptop to the power adapter and start Notepad. When the operating system starts correctly, wait a few minutes and put the battery in the laptop. Please let know us what happens when you do this.

• 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

• Satellite Pro L20: battery not charge when the power adapter is connected

  Hello

  all advice appreciated.

  I had a Satellite Pro L20 for about 18 months. Recently, battery does not charge when the power adapter is connected. The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile. However the ACPI often said that AC is "offline."

  There are two recent occurrences that coincide with this problem, I try to eliminate:

  1. my friends rat chewed by the feeder for pets! Power is Mobile OK insofar as he fled sector - the rat seems to have simply chewed by the outer cover (I see some threads, but I think that is just a shield, although I'm not an electrician).

  2. I put the laptop in hibernation for the first time. That seemed to mess up the system a bit, which was what initially drew my attention to the problem. This question is a bit complicated because I'm under Linux (Xubuntu).

  I updated the drivers etc from windows when I bought the laptop. Never had any problems until now and have been running linux for centuries. Also, I have mainly the laptop the power supply turned off, but do not remove the battery (is that really a problem these days?)

  I obviously need to replace the adapter, but is - it is likely (and how I can check) that the battery was borked until?

  see you soon
  Chris

  First, please check if the other are lit.
  If the AC led and power led are on the adapter sector is ok and it provides the power to the laptop.

  > The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile
  If the battery LED is yellow, this means that the battery is not fully charged and if the Green led changes then recharging is caught and the battery has been recharged.

  So I really don t see any problems with the charge process.

  Maybe the battery is old and so you cannot use it for an extended in such a case only the replacement of the battery could help.
