• 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

  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.

• Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) - power off when the AC adapter is connected

  I bought this laptop for my wife about 2 years, since about 6 months ago, that the laptop was randomly shut off without warning, this only seems to happen while the power supply is connected as well.

  I have read several other posts on other sites with people having similar problems.

  There are various suggested corrections, you must disable the duel core in the bios so that it works only on one heart and he spend dynamic low for fans. I did this about 2 hours ago and touchwood not a single switch off again. This however is not an acceptable solution, there is obviously much more slowly.

  Another suggestion has been updated the bios, I downloaded it now but am very worried to run it, this laptop can stop at any moment, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours. If it stops while updating to bios, I doubt that it would be good news. I don't want to make it work on the single core for the rest of the day/night to see if its stable and then go for it.

  Before that, can I make a call to the toshiba helpline, I read on the forums that this is as well a defect of design within the laptop and there's a reminder of some of the laptops in the Canada, I do not know how it rings true but still a concern to read and might be unacceptable to the owners of the A200.

  Others have advised that it is an overheating problem, it's that I reject, I running SpeedFan and showing a stable 47 temp and it allows to switch off the coast immediately when turned on, yes it could be due to dust build up, something I checked and cleared, it did not a difference for the frequent switch offs.

  Im not too well why it is only when the power supply is connected, I have not tried a different PSU, but those who have had the same problem try this and it has not solved the problem.

  When I unplug my power as well the battery seems last mabye 5 minutes at the most.

  Overall, Im very unhappy all this, toshiba is a brand of 'high' where you expect better quality and pay for it.

  If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, would be also good to hear talk of toshiba support on the issue.

  Hmmmmm... interesting.

• Satellite P30-109 works to power when the AC adapter is plugged

  When I unplug the plug charger, it automatically goes to the battery: so far nothing wrong with it;
  The point is that when I have the rear the charger plug into the socket on the battery until when, after about 20 minutes remaining with the high performance plan, begins to 'pip' (less then 10% battery) and goes into 'coma '.

  Normal discussion it should go on net power and automatically fill the battery

  Just after I stopped it, I disconnect the battery and reconnect it, then it starts to load again.

  The battery is not new, according to Everest 65% usage level; It takes 20 minutes at this time for me more than enough. I just need to move the pc from one room to another for a presentation.

  Although I wouldn't use the battery I still have a question: the cap on the back of the laptop is not really tight: sometimes he loses contact: without battery, it would be abruptlly pass.

  Hello

  Looks a bit like an electronic power supply problem
  I put t think she s adapter connection an AC loose. It looks more like a motherboard problem

  One question; What version of BIOS that you use?
  Please check if the latest version of BIOS is available and if necessary to update.

  Hope it helps, if not then a few portable tests are required.

• Satellite Pro U400 - 24 - crack appeared in the frame above the DVD drive

  I have a fairly new Satellite Pro U400 - 24 hours (seven months), where a crack appeared just above the DVD drive, close to the screen where the slot ends. I know for sure that I havn't dropped it, so I just want to know if it is a problem that everyone knows? If the framework becomes fragile due to heating (it's pretty warm when he must preform)

  Hey,.

  I put t really know why this happens, but on my Satellite U400 I couldn t notice such a problem. I have a year now and it works perfectly and the case doesn't have a crack or something.

  In my opinion, you should contact an authorized service provider. Guys can order a new replacement part and swap it for you! :)

• Satellite Pro U400 - How can I get the native screen resolution for external monitor?

  I have a samsung syncmaster external screen connected to a Satellite Pro U400.

  The resolution of the screen goes up to 1280 etc. but the minimum samsung is 1440 x 920 (ish I forgot).
  How can I get the samsung to display full screen expanded to save my eyes of the realativively small screen internal?

  Hello!

  Have you tried to update the display on your laptop driver? Check the Toshiba site for an update:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
  And what operating system are you using? Have you installed all Windows updates?

  For external LCD, monitors, you must set the screen refresh rate of 60 Hz.
  And if you want to change the resolution of the screen, you must select the second monitor in the graphics options on Windows.

• Satellite Pro U400-11V: possible to increase the 60 Hz screen refresh rate

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-11v.
  I just realized that my screen refresh rate is 60 Hz (resolution 1280 x 800).
  Even I decrease the resolution. It won t be another option 60 Hertz.
  Is it possible to increase it?
  My monitor is indicated under the generic name of the PnP in the system.

  You cannot increase the internal laptop display refresh rate and it of not necessary to go higher, because all the internal laptop screens are running at 60 Hz.
  If you would like to connect an external monitor, you will probably see higher available for the external monitor refresh rates.

• Performance of WLan Z830 satellite falls down when the AC adapter is plugged

  Hello

  When I plug my whole wifi power cord breaks. 54 MB to 2Mb!

  Any ideas?

• Satellite P205: Touchpad does not work when the new adapter is connected

  I got a replacement charger for my Satellite P205 but put it has A 4.19 instead of 3. 95 has, they said that it didn't matter, but since I use the charger, I have the following problems:

  -Does not load properly and turns off after an hour.
  -The touchpad has a mind of its own when the charger is connected (windows opens if hovering over button, through the screan jumps when I try to move it, freezes and disappears)
  -Charger Word to say the laptop plugged in but not charging

  What can I do to remedy these problems, the laptop works perfectly when the charger is not plugged in?

  See you soon!

  Hello

  I guess that the touchpad worked correctly in the past with the former sector adapter.
  Is this good?

  Well, it seems that these questions are related to the new power adapter and I would recommend using a 100% compatible adapter.

  Check the AC adapter s old part number and if the issues could be resolved using this adapter.

• Satellite Pro M30 graphics works not when the driver is installed

  Hi all

  I m having problems with my nvidia Geforce FX Go5200, in a portable Satellite Pro M30, (processor Intel Pentium M 1.7 GHz, 512 MB Ram). This card was working fine suddenly the laptop stops.

  I formatted the laptop and installed Win XP PRO. After installing the driver VGA, I restarted the laptop, but black screen started to come right after the Win XP splash screen appears. The laptop continues to start up but no screen.

  It starts fine in safe mode. I get my best screen simply by disabling the geforce card or uninstall the driver. I tried to install a new driver for the VGA on the download from Toshiba site, but same problem appears. I also tried the BIOS update but nothing happens.

  Can someone help me?
  [email protected]

  It's very strange question. It will be really interesting to know if this happens when you use the CD delivered recovery facilities.

  In any case, I assume that there is a problem with the LCD display. In safe mode, the desktop appears in the resolution decreases but the resolution to the OS boot will be suitable for a standard (1280 x 800), and of course, there is the problem.

  I am not a technician, but I recommend you contact the Service partner. AFAIK they use special tools and programs for display tests. They can tell you more.

• Satellite Pro M70 usually power up when the AC

  Hello

  I bought my dad a Satellite Pro M70 for his birthday and it was used for about 3 months. All of a sudden without any reason that it not power up if it is not connected to the AC. The battery registers itself as 100% charged.

  When on AC, everything is fine no problem.

  But when it is not plugged into the AC, it lights. When put under tension however you can unplug the AC and it will all work very well again.

  Any ideas?

  Should I try a BIOS update? or does anyone have any other suggestions?

  Thank you
  Martine

  Hello

  This problem appears at the beginning?
  Sounds a bit like electroninc power supply malfunction and in this case, you should always ask the service provider to Toshiba for assistance.
  Don t worry, seems, the guarantee is valid and each procedure must be done for free.

  But I m interesting if this will help you:
  Please, try to disable powerplay in the properties of the graphics card and do not set the CPU at low speed in Toshiba Power Saver mode fixed.
  Check this option.

• Satellite Pro L10: CMOS clock stops when the OS is not running

  Hello

  We know a reason why the cmos clock would stop when the operating system does not (phone off), the laptop is 18 months old, I've updated the bios tries to give him a good boost, but no effect, he was also in charge for 24 hours.
  Any advice would be great.

  See you soon
  Paul

  Hello

  Usually if the BIOS date/time is wrong and always changes, the RTC battery which is mounted on the motherboard fails.
  In this case the CMOS battery needs to be changed or maybe only removed for awhile

  If your laptop is 18 months, the guarantee must be valid.
  Generally if you have registered on the page of Toshiba notebook the warranty covers all repairs for about 2 years (24 months).

  In this case, I would recommend contacting ASP in your country, because the technician must be able to solve this problem very easily.

• Satellite A300 may depend on from when the power adapter plugged

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300 when the laptop is connected to the power adapter I have no possibility to turn it on, it's only 2-3 seconds once it comes down.
  When Toshiba is enabled with the battery power and I tried to connect the adapter it also goes down.
  I have no problem with the charge itself, but only with working with AC adapter.

  Please help me what can I do with this problem, does anyone has similar problem?

  Hello!

  For me it sounds like a hardware failure of the motherboard if the AC/DC adapter is plugged and the laptop is turned on

  I don't know but how best to m would be if you go to the authorized service provider nearest with the AC/DC adapter. Technicians can check your laptop and swap the motherboard if it of really necessary. The guys are very friendly and helpful!

  Here, you can search the nearest ASP:
