Satellite Pro L10: AC/battery not recognized

Hello

Currently, when I have my laptop connected to the AC supply cable, the battery symbol in the taskbar at the bottom right of the screen flashes, switching between the battery icon and the network icon. While this is happening if I type some of my keys are not saved and the mouse gets 'juddery '. If I pull the cable tight against where it connects to the laptop, it remains plugged into mains. This happens sporadically and sometimes (rarely) is ok.

Does anyone have any idea why this might happen? I had the laptop for about 2 1/2 years, so, naturally, that the battery died a little. Not sure it's the battery or cable it charges normally when the laptop is over/under voltage off before.

Thanks for any info!

> Anyone has any idea why this might happen?
Maybe it s a contact drop between the power adapter and the power outlet

But it's really not easy to tell without touching the laptop.
I think the laptop technicians could check it and would be able to bring an answer what's exactly wrong.

But in my opinion it s a soft seal.

Best regards

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E: Touchpad not recognized using Win XP SP2

    Hi all

    I just got a Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E, which is preloaded with Vista. It is also comes with a 'product' XP SP2 recovery CD I had to use because of some software work with Vista compatibility issues.

    Unfortunately, everything works well except the Touchpad, which is not recognized by XP at all (without entries, error or not, in the Device Manager).
    The "Recovery" of XP CD installed the drivers of the Alps and the Toshiba Touchpad utility (for turning on and outside), so it seems that it is supposed to work.

    It is activated in the BIOS (which I have also flashed to the latest version, just in case) and is enabled in the software. I also rebuilt the laptop using the "Recovery" CD (the touchpad is not also recognized by starting on the CD "Recovery" which I guess uses WinPE).

    It does not work on Vista, so it shouldn't be a hardware problem.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Andy

    Hey Buddy

    Well in your case I would recommend going to the Device Manager and remove the touchpad in the list of devices.

    Then visit the European driver Toshiba page, choose your model of laptop, Win XP OS and download the driver for the Alps Electric and Synaptics touchpad.

    Install both drivers, reboot the laptop and check if your touchpad will work correctly.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro L10 - query battery power

    Hello

    I'm hoping I have a battery problem or my phone is dead.
    I wonder I was able to use my L10 Pro of the Satellite with the removed battery and the power cable plugged into the wall?

    My laptop has stopped feeding upwards, the charger still has his light, but no power seems to be put into the machine.
    If it works without battery in?

    see you soon

    Of course, you can use your laptop with AC power only.
    Remove the battery and check it out.

  • Upgrade of RAM in my Satellite Pro A100 (PSAA3E) was not recognized.

    I have a Pro A100 (PSAA3E) with only 512 MB of RAM.

    I added another identical stick but only 1 has been recognized.
    Each stick is recognised individually in each slot, but never as a 1 GB together. Thus, the two sticks are ok and two slots are okay!

    How can I remedy so that both are recognized?

    Did you use one that is recommended by Toshiba?
    Seems the two modules aren't compatible together hmmm seems very strange.

    How you did upgrade the memory?
    You must disconnect all cables and remove the battery. Then install the memory modules and enter the BIOS. There, you should check if the memory has been increased and set the default BIOS. Don t forget to safe settings!

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro L10: WLan does not work with Vista

    Hi all

    Have tried to get the WIFI adapter works on Vista, have downloaded the latest drivers but still no joy.

    I know it works because I have a dual operating system: XP & Vista.

    All ideas,

    Thank you

    What do you mean exactly by still no joy? Have you installed the right driver WLan and has been the WLan card recognized in the Device Manager?

    I think the laptop is using wireless Mini-PCI Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network card.
    In order to check again if a good driver was used.

    Please don t be angry with me, but it is a book of 5 years and I m sure that it s not Vista capable of course you can install Vista on this unit but it of not impossible that some devices would not 100% compatible.

  • Satellite Pro U300 - CD DRIVE NOT RECOGNIZED IN MY COMPUTER

    My cd/dvd drive is no longer recognized in my computer. It seems to be working, opens and closes and seeing little flashes when I put in a disc. but the disc does not load and the hard drive is not available in 'computer '.

    Ive tried the Device Manager. He comes in there, and ive done the scan for hardware changes and its still not to come. Ive also tried the microsoft help forum, and their suggestion didn't help either.

    Any ideas?

    > Ive tried Device Manager. He comes in there, and ive done the scan for hardware changes and its still not to come.
    Have you checked if the drive is listed in the BIOS?
    Check this please.

    I thought is might be only a registry key problem, but if the drive is not listed in Device Manager, if the BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive, then a hardware malfunction could be possible

  • Satellite Pro L10 battery did not reach full charge

    On my Satellite Pro L10 battery only reaches 85% charge if leave all night. Is this likely to be a problem with the supply power, circuits inside the computer or charge the battery?

    I need to know the best place to start to spend money!

    Some experience that may or may not apply to:
    -Battery system is around 2.5 years
    -The battery lasts about 1 to 1.5 hrs that seems fair considering his age and his level of violence (left connected permanently and not recycled periodically)
    -Very recently would not pass, with or without the power adapter connected. Solved by removing AC, then the battery, running on AC, then turn off and reinsert the battery. Everything now works on battery or AC.
    -Over problem, system has been itself decommissioned at random. Since the resolution of the problem of market it was not randomly turned off itself, YET!

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Chris

    HM, sounds to me like a hardware problem. But the problem is to understand where exactly the error, if you have the following options:

    * Contact a service partner chartered for a hardwarecheckup and an accurate diagnosis of your machine ([http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT])
    * You can buy a new battery (since it could be the battery, I guess)
    * You can sell this machine on ebay and buy a new one :)

    Hope I could give you some new and fresh ideas. There is almost no other options or solutions, the it s so your choice.

  • Satellite Pro L10-103 - USB ports not working not

    Hi, my Satellite Pro L10 - 103 USB Ports do not work. I tried different things and finally my Advisor rubbed my computer clean of all programs and operating system. After reloading of the set up disc and having lost my dear some programs I am no further forward. It still does not.

    Anyone know if this means that it is a mechanical problem with the computer? (I use Windows XP). Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Buddy,

    As wrote Akuma did you use the Toshiba Recovery disk or the Microsoft Windows disk?

    After installing XP, make sure that Service Pack 3 is installed. It contains important updates and can be downloaded on the official page of Toshiba.

    In addition, try to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager, restart the computer. Ports will still be recognized and ready to use once.

  • Satellite Pro L10 boot password is not the same as in HWSetup

    I recently got a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro L10 by my employer. I entered a password and then confirm the password again in the configuration of HW from Toshiba in Control Panel of Windows XP. Then I clicked on the recommended option. No string or password was displayed in the box under Registered.

    Since then, I was not able to boot up the laptop as the password that I entered Setup of HW is not recognized by the laptop started upward. I tried to type the password with caps lock, shift, and numlock on also. Are there any bugs or fault with defining a password for starting in the HW configuration utility? If there is a fault or a bug I would have preferred that the portable computer password is removed under the guarantee.

    If I have to pay a Service partner.

    Hi Geoff

    On this path, it is not easy to tell what's going on exactly, but I assume that your employer has implemented BIOS password. You can enter the BIOS settings by using the F2 key at startup?

    The BIOS password removal is not part of the guarantee and it must be paid. In my opinion, you must bring the laptop to your employer. He probably has Admin rights and it can set up passwords on the right track.

  • Satellite Pro L10 will not start the system

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L10, which won't work for some reason any.

    The last time that I used it, it worked perfectly fine, but now all I get is a black filtered message on "windows starts do not successfully»

    It indicates that the computer is not responding and asked me to choose one of the five options - safe mode, safe mode with network, security mode command, last known configuration, prompt or start windows normally.

    There is also a 30 second countdown if I do nothing the portable samekh automatically.
    It is, none of these things work.

    Everything that happens with any option is to a thought very much time on things, then it goes to a black screen with a time/processing bar downstairs, then when that ends it turns itself off, samekh, mw windows page shows (with f2 and f4/f10? options) and the process is repeated.

    He did about 50 times now and still nothing.
    I tried the command ctrl/alt/del, I tried to turn if off and try again, I even opened the f options but I don't know enough about computers to do more.

    Help, please!

    If possible I would like to get the computer on long enough to verify what documents I have on this subject before I can back up (if necessary) and restore it to the factory settings (as I predicted), or if this is not possible, I do not think that there is a lot to lose in this respect in any case, am prepared to take it all back to factory if necessary. I have all necessary installation CD and manuals to go with.

    hope this makes sense and I gave you all you need to know.

    Thanks, B

    It seems that the laptop is not able to boot the system, but I m not quite sure if it s because of the defective system or HARD drive corruption.
    If it s just a system problem, the installation of the new Windows operating system should help you to get it resolved.

    In case the HARD disk is defective, you need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the system.

  • Satellite Pro L10: Recovery disk is not available

    HELO,
    I lost my disc of recovery for Toshiba Satellite Pro L10.
    Service in Poland say my only: Toshiba do not have this disc now.
    am I to do now?

    I need to reinstall my system.

    Model number PSL15E-00x009PL, serial number 55016672W

    Sorry, my English is bad.

    Krzysiek

    Hello

    It s very strange because this device is not very old, and as far as I know you can order all recover cd. Toshiba should always have a copy of the CD or DVD. I can t believe that it s is not possible.
    I would recommend asking EPA again or to call other ASP in Poland.

    The second possibility is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM, and then install the drivers set and tools of Toshiba.
    Such Toshiba things you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

    Hey Buddy

    What to say first of all that you will get not the official drivers for this laptop for Windows 7 or Vista.
    This laptop is oldie and I doubt that pilots will be released.

    By reading this forum threads I've noticed that most of the user using the driver on Win 7 OS Vista.
    Maybe you should google for Conexant AC97 Vista driver and should try a Vista on Windows 7 driver

    Hello

    Seems not beautiful it is maybe something wrong with the electronic power on the card mother s in this case the motherboard must be replaced to solve this problem

    But maybe you are a lucky guy and only the power adapter malfunctioning Yes, I know that you have tested the laptop with another power adapter, but are you sure that the second captain is supported?

    Anyway, in my opinion, nobody here can provide a solution exactly because without diagnostic tests we don t know what could be wrong
    This is why I recommend to contact the technician of the ASP for a help
