Satellite Pro A40 psa45e - error code: what is the problem of flashing

I just bought the laptop above Satellite Pro A40 (psa45e - 0184 h - en), which came with a generic power.
The great laptop worked until the other night.

The light on the power supply is on, output is 15 Volt, turns on the laptop at the front, an orange light comes on and blinks 5 then 2 then 1, I guess the 521 error code.

Unplug everything and the light goes out then two green lights turns on, then laptop has started twice and started upward (running xp) but then freezes.

I guess the power supply stopped working and the chip has noticed the problem.

Can anyone confirm the fault error is feeding or is there something else wrong.

Need to know before you buy the Toshiba power, I don't want to lose more money.

Help, please...

How much is your generic AC adapter?

The amps must be the same or greater than what your laptop needs. You can view the Volts + Amp requirements based on the laptop (serial sticker).

So if the laptop needs 15v 8A... you need a 15v 8A or 9A 15v or AC adapter / higher CC.

If the amps are too weak, in the custom of mobile devices get enough power and could cause damage.

You should get yourself a good Toshiba adapter for peace of mind. Cheap generics can be more trouble than they are worth.

  • Satellite Pro A40 (PSA45E) - How to Exchange old HDD?

    The HARD drive in five years by Satellite Pro A40 daughter old died recently. What type of HARD drive replacement is supported by the BIOS or am I limited to the Toshiba MK4025 only?

    Also, does anyone have an idea how to open the case without causing too much damage to the tabs in plastic molded?

    Thank you
    Trondheim

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can buy each HARD disk and it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive. But the uses of Satellite Pro A40 older hard drives with IDE interface as far as I know, and this means that you can not use hard s 128 GB drives or let due 120 GB limitation LBA 28 bits.
    120 GB would be the biggest HARD drive you can use.

    Normally, the HARD drive cover is only attached by two screws. Remove it, the cover and then to exchange the HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro A40: Is it possible to format the HARD drive without disk

    I am passing on a Satellite Pro A40 to a brother. It is in very good condition, but has slowed down over the years. I want to get rid of my data (I have on a new machine) and speed up the system by formatting the hard drive.

    The machine didn't come with a disc for Windows XP, or a recovery CD (just a CD "tools and utilities"). I'm sure the drive HARD will be partitioned, and I can format the drive without such a disc.

    If this is true, how should I do?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I can't believe that you do not have recovery media.
    The laptop must be supplied with recovery CD, Tools & Utilities CD, and WinDVD.

    But back to your question;
    If you insert a new HARD disk, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows to install the operating system.
    The new drive is not partitioned HARD and doesn't have any OS pre-installed!

    If you n t have the original CD of Microsoft OS you can contact the service provider allowed in your country and you can order it.

    I hope I could help

    When I tried to turn on my Satellite Pro 6100 laptop the Green DC in power light turned orange and started to blink.
    It flashes 5 times, then 3 times then repeats.

    I guess that this indicates a failure in the system, but where can I find what means this error code?

    Hello

    You can read the flashing code very easily short flashing means 0 long average 1.
    Then you read the complete code back.

    Finally, the error code must be converted into HEXADECIMAL value and then a technician of the laptop could know what means this value.

    The ASP in your country should provide details of the mentioned error.

  • Satellite Pro L870-172 error 003 when retrieving the recovery DVDs

    Hi all

    Having a devil of a time with this portable darn. So I bought the recovery dvd. tried to boot from the disk and comes with no OS bootable. Thinking it could be a problem with the optical drive, I created a bootable usb key.

    Received the usb key to start

    So I goto Toshiba Recovery Wizard
    Press Yes to say it will wipe the drive.
    Retrieves the software factory default
    In the end, I get an error message

    Error: 003
    Recovery error

    Press ok to start the computer

    You can see the final screen here.
    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1fq5yk4t9hjhmk9/2014-09-05%20at%2012.38.PNG?DL=0

    Can anyone help plleeaaaseeee.

    The only thing I can think is that maybe when I created the USB startup key should I copy then disk2 on the stick as well using xcopy.

    I think there are several reasons for the error.
    The recovery media or the hard drive is may be defective. Wrong settings of the BIOS, etc...

    I recommend you to check once more the Toshiba Recovery bootable disc.
    I don t think that there might be a problem with the optical disc drive.
    From my point of view, it could be a bad BIOS setting.

    The Satellite Pro L870-172 has been pre-installed with the system Win 8.
    Please check start secure as well as the UEFI boot mode option in the BIOS.

    Generally, in order to be able to boot from different devices to boot, secure boot must be disabled.

  • Satellite Pro M30: new HARD drive - what is the max capacity?

    Hello

    My Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 is 4 years old with a 60 GB hard drive (IDE).
    I would like to replace the hard drive with a bigger. What is the best? (BIOS version 1.70, Windows XP Pro SP 3).

    I would be happy not only to get the answer to my question but alos to where I might find the answer myself.

    Thanks and greetings
    waltgallus

    Hello

    As far as I know the laptop is equipped with an ATA-100 IDE / ATA-6 HARD drive controller.
    In this case, you will need to use the 2.5 IDE HARD drive.

    I know with certainty that this notebook would support 80 GB HDD, but generally a larger HARD drive should also be possible because the controller is able to manage the 48-bit LBA.
    The 48-bit LBA can handle hard drives of more than 120GB.

    In my opinion, you can try a 120 GB and also 160 GB HARD drive should be possible.

  • Satellite Pro A40 showing that it's on the battery while the sector is plugged

    Hello

    My A40 is plugged completely happy and light on the front is to prove her it's ok. However Windows shows it as being a battery which stop making me update SP2 etc.

    Toshiba Power saver software shows the same. The battery meter displays a full icon but reported as unknown battery life.

    Any ideas.

    Hello

    first of all make sure that power management is enabled in the BIOS settings and is controlled by the operating system. (ACPI/APM settings) I don't know if you can disable this feature by accident on your model of laptop or if there is an entry at all on the power management, nut in the case where there is, it switches ON.

    There can also be some related motherboard driver that is missing or messed up (misinterpreted) Windows. You can check first, if there is a conflict with the settings in the device associated with the devices in System Manager. If there is a yellow sign next to one of these devices, you will need to address this issue by the resettlement of some drivers.

    Alternatively, you can save all of your work from your laptop and reinstall the laptop recovery CD. More than 70 percent of the pilot, the problems, it's easier healing.

    Whatever the result will be, please be so kind and come back to share your findings for future reference and assistance.
