Satellite Pro L300: Your power adapter also do this?

When I move my laptop to an outlet AC (alternating current) I do this, by Manuel Toshiba:

1. connect the adapter to the laptop

2. plug the adapter cable ca outlet

The plug is in my hand and when I insert it in making that a spark is generated and a sounding snap sound.

Is this normal?

Hi Michael

This certainly isn't normal behavior of AC adapter!
I imagine that a cable is broken, and this is why you hear a strange noise

I recommend you contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country as soon as possible.
Guys should check the power adapter and should replace if necessary!

Welcome them

  • Satellite Pro C660-16F: power adapter that is compatible

    Hi all

    I recently lost the charger of my Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-16F.

    It provides the output DC 19V - 3, 42A

    My father also has a Toshiba Satellite, model A300 1RF

    Supplies of its DC 19V - 4, 74A Chargers

    I don't know if I can use the charger of my father for my computer, like I don't know
    If it is just the current or excessive current it can cause damage.

    Can someone give me the answer to that?, thank you very much in advance!

    Hello

    You can use another adapter 19V.
    The value of the Volt is very important. You can ONLY use the power adapter that supports the 19V
    The ampere is too important, but it may be a little different.

    Your original adapter supports 3.42 Ampère and other 4.74. It's a little higher but not really relevant.

    Hello

    Firstly the Toshiba Power Saver requires the installation of the common Module.
    The common Module for Win XP v1.00.05 can be downloaded from the European pilot page Toshiba.

    So before installing the energy saver, install common Module, restart the computer, and then try the energy saver.

    In addition the Intel PROSet/Wireless Software can be used only with the Intel Wlan card.
    Is the laptop supports the Intel wireless network adapter?

    AFAIK the L300 series can be equipped with a Realtek, Atheros and Intel Wlan card
    Check it!

    Someone could answer my concerns about the use of power cables and to buy once back in the States. for the most part is it safe to use a USA power cable in this laptop bought NZ without breaking something to bits?

  • Satellite Pro L300: Noise of nasty when connected to your hifi installation comments

    Hi, thanks for reading,

    I just bought a Satellite Pro L300, to use for DJing. I use a Behringer USB mixer, and when I plugged it to the top there is a sound really bad comments coming out of my speakers.

    I tested it in the headphone jack output by connecting the laptop directly to my sound system and I hear the same comments.
    I went to check through troubleshooting and audio driver settings, everything seems fine.

    I thought then he might have been a problem to the ground, so disconnected the power to the laptop and it worked, the Larsen effect stopped. I tried to use a different power supply to an old laptop and the noise starts again.

    Is there anyway that I could solve this problem? I need to run food as the custom of the last battery life long enough while I DJ.

    Thanks in advance

    > so thought that it might have been a problem to the ground, so disconnected the power to the laptop and it worked, the Larsen effect stopped
    I agree with you and Akuma appears that this noise is related to the question of land
    In many cases, different people said they could solve this by using a 3 cable and AC adapter power cord.
    These special adapters can be ordered from the authorized service partner.

  • Satellite Pro L300-1FL - WLAN network adapter does not exist

    Model: Satellite Pro L300-1FL (PSLB9E)
    Operating system: XP Pro SP2
    Wireless card: PA3616u-1mpc (atheros AR5007)

    the laptop came with pre-installed vista, everything worked very well (including wireless), although a little slowly, but decided to downgrade to xp. integrated SATA drivers into my xp with nlite installation disc. XP installed fine. visited the toshiba support site and downloaded all the drivers for xp and install.

    Despite the installation of the wireless driver there is still no present in the wireless network card device driver. It is an "unknown" device listed, which I think is the wireless card.

    at first I was not sure what card appeared so systematically installed that all options of wlan of the toshiba download page [intel/atheros/realtek], none has worked. little more digging autour and discovery was a then reinstalled atheros atheros wlan client on the toshiba site. still did not work. found a update atheros ar5007 driver installed, still no joy.

    forward wireless switch is on [the orange light] and has been throughout the process. have you tried enabling / disabling fn + F8, which doesn't do anything.

    I think I read somewhere (having read much too many post on this over the last few days!) that update the BIOS to version 2.4 can solve the problem. However the version offered for my model by the toshiba page BIOS update is 2.1 (which I've updated when you install all drivers in xp) and I'm not that eager to update the BIOS to a version that is not supported by toshiba, because I have no idea how fix an incorrect BIOS prevents starting the computer.

    When you look at the BIOS option "wake we wireless" is grayed out and not selectable. There is no other network without wire/related parameters. This might infer that the BIOS does not recognize the card wireless for some reason any. whereas he should have before, I started to lose its time, as worked it fine under vista wireless. so I think that upgrading the BIOS might have broken, although I can't be sure that I've updated the BIOS until I realize that the without wire did not work under XP, so it could have been broken before the BIOS update. Does this sound plausible? also, I have no idea how if is take to solve this - you can downgrade the BIOS?

    any help greatly appreciated - have been pulling on my hair for 2 days now and there is only so much googling, you can do before find yourself you constantly re - visiting the same sites over and over again!

    Thank you

    ~ andy

    worried that he may have been conflict for different drivers wlan I had initially installed, so have done a complete re - format and re-installation of xp. Install the drivers, including the wlan driver atheros. but still no adapter wlan in Device Manager.

    the unknown device in the other section of the Device Manager is listed as an ethernet controller; However glancing upward from the PCI/VEN # (C & DEV_001C 168) on the basis of data from the provider PCI identifies that this is indeed the atheros card.

    This means that it is not a hardware/BIOS problem as I previously suspected. XP can 'see' the device, but for some reason, the driver won't work. Hmm

    someone at - it had a similar problem? is it just a matter of finding the "correct" driver

    Thank you

  • Satellite Pro L300-152 lose the power connector - how to disassemble it?

    I have a Satellite Pro L300 - 152 unit, which is out of warranty.
    I have a bad power connector, it has been pushed back and be dislodged from his seat or brocken cradel is within the computer.

    I am trying to remove the back to see if the power connector can be repaired or remains in its cradle.
    I removed all the screws and all devices, but can not get it off the computer.

    There seems to be something with the keyboard, which I took.

    Can you help me?

    To fix the power connector the whole notebook must be disassembled and you must have access to the motherboard. Disassembly procedure is not complicated if you have maintenance manuals and instructions.
    To have full access to the motherboard, you must remove all the screws from the underside and also all the screws under the keyboard. You will then be able to separate the notebooks and disassemble the upper.

    Tell me exactly what you have removed so far?

  • Satellite Pro L300-128 - startup problem

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro L300-128 GB specification, that has a Celeron M550 running Windows XP and a construction date of the end of June 2008. I have a problem with the switching on of the machine if it has been turned off for a long period of time.

    Basically, if the AC cable is inserted into the computer laptop and plugged in, the green light turns on, but pressing the button it does nothing. By the process of elimination, I have found that, after a short period of time (say 15-30 minutes) if (and only if) the AC cable is then removed from the laptop, it lights up then!

    Plug the AC cable, while the laptop is on, do not cut the machine and charge the battery as usual. The battery life seems very good, if a little short (say 1.5 - 1.75 hours when used "constantly").

    If the computer is restarted, it lights again very well - if it is turned off and left for a few minutes, once again no problem. But, if she is not with the battery fully charged and left all night - it lights again in the morning.

    Now, as a new machine, I'm wondering if the battery needs a long initial load (such as a mobile phone)? Nothing is said about it in the manual. I have not yet checked if the battery down completely himself during the night. I haven't run the battery to the laptop for a long time (say all day) to 'trickle charge '. I don't know if the period from 15 to 30 minutes to get the thing started is once again because the battery is completely discharged during the night (I need to check the BIOS to see if "Wake up we LAN/wireless" is activated)-anyone know how long a fully discharged battery must be charged before that the machine will let you start it?

    Under the machine, there are two battery release buttons and it seems loose - I don't know if it's related, but can't see how. Moreover, when the question arose (during the first delivery the laptop), I removed the battery and tried power upwards of food, but nothing to do.

    I ran all the software updates (chipset etc) I can find on the download page, the BIOS version is 1.40 (last) of the factory.

    Any suggestions would be welcome before I have use the service of repair under warranty for the first time! I don't know if it is related to the fact that the power button seems to be a micro switch rather than a good button/switch in the conventional sense of the term, i.e. you can 'feel' it do something!

    Thank you very much
    Richard

    Hello

    If you have purchased a new laptop, the battery is empty and needs to be charged in the first place.
    You can also connect the adapter to the laptop while the battery is empty and the laptop should also lights up properly.
    The laptop must also run without the battery and using only the AC adapter.

    It should also be possible to put the laptop by pressing the power button for about a second, if this is not possible, a malfunction of the laptop could be possible.

    In such cases, it s always advisable to contact the local ASP for a verification of the laptop.

    I mean your laptop is under warranty and if something is not wrong with the machine so everything must be replaced free of charge

    In my opinion, the laptop must be checked!

  • Satellite Pro L300 29V - hard drive is dead

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-29V only about 2 months, and suddenly the hard drive (very full) is apparently dead.

    Initially the laptop starts Windows correctly, but now the HD is not yet recognized in the BIOS. If it goes beyond the Toshiba splash screen, I get the thing PXE saying "a cable is unplugged. I tried to re-allocation of places the reader twice, but still nothing.

    It's really disturbing, because I had transferred recently practically my whole LIFE on it on other computers which many many many hours of musical recordings that I can't really afford to lose.

    I think I'll have to buy a HD dock and see if I can read and copy the data.

    Does anyone else have this problem? It is likely that the drive could have been erased?

    I should also mention that a day or two before this happened, my girlfriend was using etc. Open Mobile (Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word,) - computer I pressed the power button that normally makes hibernate - and when I turned it back, rather than resume where he left off, the computer started from zero and no work/windows were saved.

    I'm afraid that might be some stupid day, Avira, or on the Windows updates without end that has damaged something...

    EDIT: OK, I have a picture of the error I received before complete failure, but I can't download it here. Here is the text (on a blue screen):

    Hi mate,

    First of all, I must say that I have this Satellite L300 too. But I didn t have no problem, the HARD drive works fine for 1.5 years and I use this laptop for Internet and emails everyday. I m very satisfied.

    However, what do you hear now?

    I hope that you can copy your data to another device and you will need a new HARD drive for your Satellite Pro L300. That's fact!
    In addition, there are a few good programs that they can the recovery of data from faulty hard drives. Just search with Google, you will find some interesting links.
