• Satellite Pro A120 battery problem

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A120 and is a battery problem a month ago.
  The battery is not new, but recently changed, 6 months ago.
  Until a few weeks ago, it lasted about 2 hours when full load, until this time
  suddenly dropped 30-40 minutes.
  In addition, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's a few extra vibrations,
  for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  I initially though that there was a problem with the battery or the battery contacts, but they seem ok.
  I tried to unload it in my laboratory of the company with a power resistance: resistance absorbed 1A continuously for more than 3 hours. As the specification 4400mAh battery, I would say that the battery is ok.

  Is it possible that I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
  The battery stress test above seems to show that the charging process is ok. So the problem might be with
  the provision of monitor or battery power.
  Someone at - it experience of similar problems and maybe a solution.
  Or perhaps a work around? As excluding the battery monitoring and auto turn off

  Thanks in advance

  Perhaps, but that's just a guess only a cellphone technician may provide an exactly the answer to this question.

  > Furthermore, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's some additional vibration.
  for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  It is very strange, I want to say if the contacts of the battery and the battery would be ok, this symptom shouldn't its sounds strange for me, so maybe that's the key why battery don't not lasts more than 30-40 min

  However, I think you should try a new battery before checking the motherboard.

• Satellite Pro A120 does not turn on - blinking green

  Hi people anyone can help?

  I have a Satellite Pro A120, which is not used for a long time,
  When I plug in and turn on I get nothing except the lights on the front of the laptop, green power telling me light the d/c plug is plugged in,
  loading light but the power of the light on the front of the battery flashes green twice, then amber once and the fan runs but nothing else at all.

  Could someone tell me wots wrong and how to fix it please?

  Hello

  Indicator of DC IN ((deuxieme left) lights green when the power adapter DC voltage.
  If the adapters output voltage is abnormal or if power outages, this indicator flashes orange.

  ((Troisième de gauche), the power led lights green when the computer is turned on. If you select the "sleep mode" indicator flashes (a second to two seconds) while the computer shuts down.

  If you notice other behaviors of indicator, then it means that something might be wrong on the motherboard. It is not possible to say what could be the problem here, but first, you should check out the bars of memory. Try to turn on the device using a single module.
  If this is not enough, then a malfunction of the motherboard would be possible.

• Satellite Pro A120 - does not start with 4 GB of memory

  Hi all

  I'm new here so please be gentle!

  I have a Satellite Pro A120, model No. PSACOE - 037014EN and you want to increase the memory 512 MB present. I tried 2 different sets of memory 4 GB (2x2gb), but the machine does not start. I tried the different modules together and on their own but still no joy.

  Where I'm going wrong? This model will not take 2 GB memory modules?

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  Best regards

  Dr. Feelgood

  Hello

  Before changing something about your hardware, please make sure that if the computer supports the new pieces of material and, therefore, you can also consult the user manual.

  Anyway, I checked this and this laptop can only be upgraded to 2 GB maximum. This means that you can use the module of 1 GB in each slot and * no * 2 GB in each slot.

  So please bring back the memory modules and buy 2x1GB. It will work.

• 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.

• Re: Satellite Pro A40 - has not found any connection WLAN in range

  I have problem with my laptop. I have Toshiba Satellite Pro A40 [model N°-PSA45E-001YMFS] with Microsoft Windows XP SP3 and I wanted to add a WiFi atheros (atheros 5005g) ar58mb5 map and an having problem.
  I have instaled lastes drivers for it. I see in drevice Manager and seems to work fine but when I try to look for other wirless shows that this text "found no wireless networks in range.

  First question: this model of laptop is possible to have this part?
  Second: Will it work?

  Sorry for my possible mistakes with this post but my English isn't correctly. Plese give me a quick answer for her.

  Hey,.

  As far as I know a few Satellite Pro A40 were available with WLAN connectivity and other models not so theoretically WLAN works with Satellite Pro A40.

  You have installed the card WLAN, you connect the two antenna WLAN (black and white) cables to the WLAN card?
  Or you didn t these antenna cables?

• Satellite Pro P200: battery not charging

  Hello

  My laptop battery will not charge. Just bought two weeks ago. Can I use my laptop for an hour approximately and it is still empty.

  What's not?

  Edwin

  A moment please. you said that the battery won't charge?
  Is this true or do you mean that the laptop can run only one hour on battery?

  Battery is charging while the laptop is connected to the power adapter?

• 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

• Satellite Pro A120 does not pass the POST

  Hello

  I'm a character 'J' on the upper left side of the screen immediately after the post (power on self test)?
  It will not go any futher.

  I got into the bios and everything seems fine here, I can boot from a cd, but that's all.
  Hard drive turn but not start.

  Any ideas please?

  Hello

  If you are able to access the BIOS.
  The HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS? You see the details of the HARD drive?
  If so, then that would mean that the HARD drive is ok and BIOS can see it.

  I don't know why J appears on the screen
  Have you seen other error messages or notifications?

  You said that you can boot from the CD. Have you checked if you boot the Linux Live disk?

  This doesn t require installation on the HARD disk, theoretically you should be able to start the distribution of Linux.

• Satellite Pro A120 touchpad not working not

  Hi there I have problems with the touchpad when I am start the laptop the windows loads then the cursor stays in the middle of the screen and does not allow me to move. I tried fn f9 that he will not move with it so I tried fn f10 to use the keybroad still does not. I don't have a usb mouse to try. The laptop seems to run constantly also the fan. any help would be thank you very much, it just started the y.day its only 6 months old.

  Hello

  Maybe it's something wrong with the software pre-installed touchpad or the touchpad s. Unfortunately, settings it s not easy to say exactly what's wrong. Seems that must study a little bit.

  The external USB mouse is necessary! Without the mouse it s very difficult and you don't cases not possible to make changes! So, buy or lend the mouse!

  You can check the touchpad settings in Control Panel-> mouse control
  If the change of setting will not help, try to reinstall the driver for the touchpad!

• Satellite Pro A120 will not start

  Sorry for the bad English!

  My computer does not start.
  I want to install a BIOS but plugging it into another computer, but I don t know how?

  I think it s not a faulty BIOS, but I think that the virus on your laptop caused this problem.
  The error message says it all:
  + Malware accesses the memory read +.
  + bios problems +.

  If you are not able to boot up the laptop, or on the CD recovery, (XP, Linux) bootable CD or HARD drive, then it s a serious problem and you should certainly contact the ASP in your country.

  If you are a lucky man then the ASP technician would be able to flash the BIOS ROM by using a special procedure and the laptop should work again.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A120: How do I remove the CD/DVD drive

  I have 2 main problems and doesn't seem to completely open the case.
  Does anyone know how to remove the dvd - rom?

  But my mainproblem is swith power Ribbon (blue) has come off the motherboard. But as I can't open completely the case im with tweezers for trying to recconect.

  Does not seem to want to go.
  Is there a clip into the connector on the motherboard or is it just push in? A picture or a diagram would be helpful.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  One question; Why are you doing this?
  I mean why you want to open the notebook?
  Always it is that Satellite Pro A120 is not an old notebook and I presume that the guarantee is valid.
  If you remove the lid of the laptop, you will lose the warranty!

  The removal of CD/DVD is very easy.
  Usually, it is fixed with a screw located at the bottom of the unit. You have to remove first, and then he should be able to take off from the STRANGE.

• Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) does not start after upgrading RAM

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me here, I recently bought a Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) and decided to upgrade the RAM. I bought a stick of 512 MB of curries with the following specifications: DDR PC2700 200-pin 333 Mhz SODIMM (64 x 64).

  However, the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this, but after you insert the RAM into the available slot, the computer laptop wouldn't boot, and instead, I had the flashing sequence on the LED from 2,3,3.

  I was told it might be a problem matching, then tried to remove the original RAM and booting with just the new stick, still the same error. I tried it in the slots and still no joy. It starts very well with the original 256 MB of RAM, but refuses to take the new RAM.

  Are there any known issues? Can anyone suggest something that I can do wrong? I followed the usual steps of upgrade to remove all power cables and the battery before the upgrade, but still no joy.

  Hoping that someone is able to help!

  Hi James

  You simply have bad memory modules and is not a compatible uses.

  > the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this,

  This should not happen! The right modules can be inserted without any problem of alignment!
  Handling can damage the module!

  In my opinion, you should use another and supported the RAM module.

  To my knowledge, you can use the PA3512U-1M1G (DDR2-667 1 GB Memory Kit) or (PA3411U-2M1G) DDR2-533 1 GB
  The two should be compatible.
