Satellite S3000 - turn on wanton

I have a strange problem with my Satellite S3000-100. I connect the power cable and all five LEDs come on and I can't switch on the laptop. If I leave for 10-15 minutes the lights then return to the correct display of the AC and battery and I'm able to power on. At first, I thought it was a problem with the battery, but when I remove the battery the same problem occurs. Then I thought that maybe it's the battery BIOS, but all the clock/date setting are correct and I get a message saying the setting changed. I must say that the laptop works fine it just the capricious problem where I sometimes have to wait 10-15 minutes and other times it works immediately.

I can't see anything in the manual about the error codes with the LED does not have the laptop give error codes beeps so I must say that I am another loss that think it is an internal fault like a dry joint or something. I would be interested if anyone else has experienced this or knows what is the problem and how to fix it.

Hello

In my opinion in s manuals (not only for laptops but for all other electronic products), there are listed simple questions that can be resolved by the user himself. Others, more complex, the questions are for the service. First service has special diagnostic tools and it is possible to identify the problem. They have all the necessary equipment and finally, service manuals how to disassemble the specific product.
I hope you will agree with me on this subject.

It seems that the described issue is not simply as you think so. So first here on the forum we can only speculate what may be the problem. Second, you can be sure that someone here wrote the right thing 100% and have at least you know how any replacement and disassembly laptop parts. Probably not.

Problem described is quite strange, and I can say that it may be because of the electronic card (ESF). What do you think?

  • Satellite S3000 - Modular Bay HDD

    I have a Satellite S3000-400 and I'm trying to set up a 30 GB 2nd HARD drive in the module Bay.

    I bought a HARD drive announced under the name suitable for use in the modular Bay (part number pa3101u - 1 h 30) but was sent an equivalent Hitachi drive with 13g 1486 part number.

    This disk came without HARD disc tray to install it in for insertion in the modular Bay S3000. Two questions

    -Part pa3101u - 1 h 30 usually comes with the HARD drive that is already installed in the toolbar State S3000.

    -What is the part number for disc HARD S3000 tray I need to install the HARD drive, I received today (and where can I get a).

    Thank you
    Phil

    Hi Phil,

    I should not worry the brand of the drive. Toshiba uses different brands in their notebooks. They all generically similar in terms of performance and physical dimensions.

    I'm not sure about which country you are, but I suspect that you may need to get a shopping cart in the car to adjust S3000. Here is a link to a UK site, which may be able to help you: -.

  • Satellite S3000-214: HD and RAM upgrade

    I want to upgrade a Satellite S3000-214 with a new hard drive and RAM.
    Anyone know how I can upgrade the HD? It is currently only 20 GB.
    About the RAM, I tried to upgrade before but abandoned after Misco sent me upgrades wrong a few times. Does anyone know a supplier who could have a sales team could sell me the good memory?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    It is possible to upgrade the HDD up to 30 GB.
    The BIOS should recognize this format without any problem. You can use a simple 2.5 bus master IDE HDD.

    It is also possible a memory upgrade for max 1024 MB

  • Satellite S3000 - X 4: the screen is blank on the battery and network

    Satellite S3000 - X 4 with problems screen empty.
    The machine works with an external monitor connected. BIOS updated to 1.60, latest video drivers installed on Intel site. Installed power of Tosh management. Screen is blank on the battery and the system. No obvious response to listen autour mainboard or FL Inverter - or monitor itself.

    Have you tried to reduce video settings in the power management of Tosh as suggested by someone else. Is FL Inverter probably at fault - if yes, where is the best / cheapest place to get a replacement to the United Kingdom?

    Hello

    As you know all the parts, you can order by the service partner. If you know what are the parts that you need you can also Google around a bit and I'm sure you can find enough hardware stores online where you can compare prices and order cheaper.

    Sorry, I'm not from the United Kingdom and may not give you a good info. Also, do you want to exchange it only?

  • Satellite S3000 - X 4 won't stay on

    Hello

    Can someone please help? I have a series of Satellite 3000 X 4, which I recently abandoned and damaged the motherboard. I was told, a way to cut a long story short, I bought another S3000 X 4 and used the Council M and using my existing hard drive, but I come to turn it on.

    It turns on but makes a ticking noise and turns off automatically! Doesn t want to stay, even if it is powered by the cord!

    Any suggestions...

    If the laptop stops a few seconds after you start then especially overheating of the CPU problem could be responsible for such interruptions.
    Did you also change the processor on the map? Assign you the paste heat to cooling modules?

    In my view, that it stop has nothing to do with the HARD drive but with the motherboard and processor. If the HARD disk is damaged or damage, then you should usually get a message that the laptop is not able to find a source of seed or something like that.

  • M100-166 problem satellite to turn it on

    I'm having a problem with my Satellite M100-166. Basically nothing when I press the power button appears on the screen. I had to try several times to turn it on. Once he started I couldn't do anything because all the apps were pretty slow. I did a reboot and now I'm not able to turn it back on. Can someone tell me what is the problem?

    I thank very you much.

    Lucia

    Eventually he s a hardware malfunction.
    As katsumitsu said that if the warranty is valid, you should ask the service partner to help him.

    But first try this: remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter repeatedly (> 20 min).
    Then, connect the battery and connect the AC adapter to the laptop. Try to start.
    If it works you must use the recovery CD and install the operating system from the recovery CD.

    If after this procedure the laptop does not work correctly, you should ask the ASP for the control of the laptop.

  • Need to restore the system disk for Satellite S3000 - X 4

    I ve an old Satellite phone, model type S3000 - X 4, but I ve lost its disk factory settings restoration. I ve loaded another version of Windows XP Home edition, I own but he doesn't he know s a laptop more than the custom of the fresh battery and I m constantly plugged in!

    I ve updated Toshiba, but it remains straight isn t. Is it possible to get a replacement system restore disc for the this model please?

    Hello

    Your ad is quite confused and I do not know is that you have problem with power sypply why you focus on recovery media. If there is a technical problem or if the battery is dead why you think that the recovery CD will help.

    In any case, I think you will not have much chance to get a recovery media for this older model laptop. I checked the download from Toshiba site and there are only 9 different drivers and tools that you can install after the installation of Windows XP Home edition.

    First try to configure Windows XP Home Edition. Later, we can discuss any problem of battery.
    This battery is always the original, I mean one?

  • Satellite P500 turns off most since re install Windows7

    Hi all

    Toshiba satellite laptop
    series: P
    Model: P500
    Model number: PSPGSE
    Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium edition

    Following a final crash of the original hard disk, so I changed the drive and performed a complete re-installation of windows7 (an original touch and put my original).
    Subsequently I have re installed the driver via the toshiba site (most importantly, so no software supplied automatically with PC purchase), and that all are present according to device (of interrogation or other point of warning) Manager.
    More through the touslesdriver.com site, I added their scanning software small told the pilot to missing day or not (so basic but all seems normal...)

    Windows of decanting finished and I started to update the drivers, windows out never normally, menu, start, stop, closing the session and after that bogus on "stoppage of work" until the "Blue Shield (about 10 minutes later, a solution or the button works / stop)."
    Single point, drivers arrive to their windows or windows installation to restart, but the problem always comes back.

    Then in normal mode, no messages or any other information that makes me say that there is a problem, but when close windows here is barattes in a vacuum no solution other than the button walk / stop (I also tried ms config: stop all, same effect).

    Now in safe mode gives the change!

    Beginning and end of windows that is no problem!

    Still in safe mode, the device section driver, then display devices, 'plug and play' shocks only information is that an exclamation mark on 'Security processor loader driver' is not visible outside the safe mode.

    No possibility of anything and much too much different information on the net which could help me solve this exclamation point and certainly my problem?

    Hello

    I own P500 too, but I use it with the new HARD drive but with the original recovery image (Win7 64 bit) I've had with her. Why have problems such as you, when I can have perfectly installed OS. That do after the installation of recovery image's own upward and the optimization of the OS. I have delete all things I don't no need and turn off all unnecessary processes that can slow down my system.
    I m really wondering why you do the same and use OS without a few installation issues.

    In any case, after reading your ad I didn t understand what your problem is, but what I can say is follow:
    Satellite P500 is fully supported for Win7 so you do not have some third-party software of the part for the detection of drivers and similar useless diagnosis. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    On this virtual path, I can't tell what your problem and how to fix it. I know, it's that the whole available drivers on the Toshiba download page are tested and are part of the original image recovery.
    I think either you should reinstall the OS using original recovery image and remove all the stuff, you need or reinstall Win7 clean and begins to install the drivers, tols and utilities Toshiba download page only.

    Order of installation:
    Windows 7
    Chipset SW installation utility

  • Satellite L750 turns on and turns off by itself using Linux

    Today, I had some strange behavior on my laptop. It closes unexpectedly, after showing a dialog box saying "your computer will stop in 60 seconds". And then when I turn it back on, it stops just before the start and it turns on by itself after a few seconds.

    It not too much heat, the CPU temperature is normally between 50 - 60 c (I constantly monitored using Conky). In addition, someone told me to upgrade the BIOS, so I did it, but the problem persists. I also tried to replace the RAM and run a memcheck, but everything looks good on the side of the memory.

    I use linux and had a look on ' / var/log/syslog ", but I'm not sure that I know exactly what to look for. Messages saved before you stop do not seem to describe something suspicious.

    I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but it seems that the problem is more hardware related and I would like to study what are the causes stop randomly. The same thing on Windows, but there is no warning before stopping.

    You have verified the functionality of the laptop using the Windows system, but have you used the Toshiba recovery disc and have you tested with factory settings?

    I m wondering about the message: your computer will shut down in 60 seconds

    If this would be a hardware problem, then the laptop would be closed without any warning messages.
    So I guess there must be a software problem, I guess that some triggers for setting this automatic valve downwards.
    But to be honest, I have no idea of what parameters can be

  • Satellite A300 turns off

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 (for about 3 years now) and tonight he turned off his car. It would be most time cause of overheating and would finally restarts, but not tonight. It simply displays an icon of the battery at the front about 6 times - then nothing. I tried already out the cord of the battery and the charger, press the switch & 30 seconds and it does not work.

    It might be useful to mention that for a while now, when the charger is unplugged the laptop would turn directly to the output.

    What I need to know is, it sounds like I need a new charger or a battery?

    For me, this looks like faulty power electronics.

    Can you use laptop on the power supply only when the battery is removed?

    When I start the PC or put in mode "sleep" by pressing the power button sometimes all I have to do is touch the button and the PC turns or sleeping and strangely sometimes the button work normally by pressing it down until it snaps.

    I couldn't find the problem, I was wondering if anyone knew what it might be and how could I solve this problem?

  • Re: Satellite A660 turns off

    Hello

    In June last year, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A660, when I took out of the House and the box, he doesn't work, turn on, and then he clicks.

    I got the next day traded with another sealed unit. While in the store of the computer, I demand to see work before I take it home. Open the box starts, it worked. Last month he began to go off while in the workplace, I linked to an overheating (it heats up a lot on day 1) I bought a laptop cooler, run on USB with 200 mm cooling fan. No difference, it is capricious, some days work all day another time just clicks off and I want to never start.

    Today I'm not if happy because I can not start my work is always on it. What is my solution?

    I am a computer professional and is my diagnosis for this laptop: it runs too hot and the breakdowns are inevitable in the first six to 12 months, depends on its daily use (hours / day).

    In my opinion:

    (A) I don't want to fix it (it is still under warranty) I need a replacement because it is a manufacturing defect.

    (B) If this model has design problems especially overheating then it should be exchanged with a reliable model equivalent.

    see you soon,

    Vania Lolham

    Hi mate

    (A) I don't want to fix it (it is still under warranty) I need a replacement because it is a manufacturing defect.

    I think you need to check with your dealer to laptop.
    To my knowledge the certified partner Toshiba is able to repair and fix the laptop, but you will not get a refund of ASP.
    If the laptop is under warranty, your laptop will be corrected for free.

    (> B) If this model has design problems especially overheating then it should be replaced with equivalent reliable model.

    Don t think that there could be a problem of design one of my friends has a series, and it works properly.
    First of all, you should check if you BIOS update could improve the functionality of the laptop.
    You should also check if the dust and debris does not prevent cooling modules work correctly. In my case, my old laptop didn't work correctly because of the dust.
    I used to delete this jet of compressed air and it worked.

    Finally, I must say that it shouldn't be necessary to use additional cooling pads in order to cool the laptop. If portable s temperature is too high, then it must be something wrong. If above advice doesn't help, then I would say that the material could be affected and in this case, the technician must verify that
