Screen VAIO Pro 13 gradation when power cord plugged

I just had a problem to occur on my new Pro 13 in Vaio, Windows 8.  The model number for my Vaio is SVP132A1CL.

The problem I have is that when I plug the power cord into the machine, the screen fades until I can barely see anything.  When I pull the plug out, and the computer returns to the battery power, the display lights up to a normal level.

I tried to restart my computer several times, and the problem does not go away.

What should I do?

Thank you very much.

Kenton,

Try this:

1. open Windows charm and type in 'Power Options' and click on it under "settings".

2. find the power plan that you are underway and click "change plan settings".

3. under "Adjusting brightness of plan" adjust until you are desirable under the "battery" and "Plugged in" brightness

  • Sony Vaio Pro stops randomly when power adapter is not plugged in

    Hello. I have a Vaio Pro and whenever I don't have a power adapter is plugged in, it stops randomly at different time intervals. Before going off, I'd like to see sometimes the screen flashes a few times, indicating that it goes off.

    I tried the battery on the bottom reset button, but that didn't seem to work. I tried a full system restore and it does not solve my problem either. My Vaio Care shows that my battery is in excellent condition.

  • Re: Satellite a200. Resetting or freezing when power cord plugged

    Hey,.

    Ive recently had my computer cleaned after that I had problems with it cutting cause of overheating. It allows to cut while loading Vista too I thought only a dust problem.
    However after it has been cleaned professionally and reformat the computer he now always cut while I have the power supply or reductions on when changing the battery to the power source (works great with just battery).

    I have narrowed down to a few options but I just want to see if anyone has useful comments / solutions for fixing.
    1. that I need to update my BIOS. That proves a problem such as this particular model of upgrading the BIOS satellite is not an option to burn to disk and requires a source of energy at the start of the desktop computer.
    2. that one of the sensors is broken and cause interruptions occur when the is not necessary
    3. There is something short circuit when the power source is implemented.

    couple of addition notes what is happening:
    I mean, by resetting the computer just completely stops and restarts ten seconds of the latter.
    If I put the computer to sleep then wake him (even when using battery) it resets.
    When the power supply is on and start, he usually cuts to the same place.

    So any help is appreciated. Sorry if the lay out is hard to understand too, the laptop has so many questions it's hard to link them together. Update ill prob with more problems that I can remember other smaller
    Thank you. :)

    Hello

    Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Maybe this can help you solve the problem and it s worth a try.
    Check it!

    Furthermore, I would normally say that you need to update the BIOS, but to update the necessary s BIOS you have the AC/DC is plugged in but in your case the laptop freezes.

    So I would try it with factory settings (Toshiba Recovery disk) and if it doesn't work you should go to the authorized service provider nearest. Then, it seems to be a hardware malfunction and the BIOS update is not possible at the moment.

    Good luck!

  • LaserJet m225dn mfp pro: printer freezes up, power cord wrong or bad grounding?

    Hello.  We have an ongoing problem with this gel printer (backlight on).  I can say that it's okay if it passes in the standby mode.  If after the default, sleep, standby fails, it is always locked and requires a reboot.

    It comes with the power supply cord is too short, and relocation is very difficult.  I have been using two (seem to be very good) of the longer computer power cords.  One is 10' and the other is 12'.

    I tested the ground taken with a multimeter and it revient.2 v, which is not 0, but I think is pretty close.  There are other things on the same circuit.

    Problem is I can not test the normal short cord and easily keep the printer connected to the USB cord and a fax machine.  Would be a 10 or 12' power cord (no UPS online) will be enough to lock up this printer?   Thank you.

    I found the solution myself.  For a longer length, 14-gauge is necessary.  I have this and it seems to fix the problem.  He could have a blockage, but I'm not sure.  Been working normally for more than a week with this 15' cord

  • Problems of intermittent wifi with E1 - 510 laptop when power not plugged

    I have the Acer E1-510-4413 model with windows 8.1. 64 bit OS

    When the power cord is connected to the laptop, it works like a charm...

    But when I unplug the power cord, I find that the wifi connection will constantly lose connection to ANY wifi modem that it was connected to little matter if the wifi has been opened or WPA encrypted.

    Very frustrating to say the least when I need Traoré to the power cord on a just full battery charge so that I can have internet connectivity.

    I checked the acer web site and there is no wifi drivers updated so I am at a loss why this is happening.  It always happened ever since I boughtthe portable...

    I found the problem myself...

    Basically, drivers wifi which come pre-installed with windows 8 work very well... but I bought the laptop at the time of version 8.1, and I did the update to 8.0 to 8.1 windows according to needs on my first night to have the brand new laptop.  Tonight, I noticed that the version of the drivers I have for my wifi were slightly older than what is displayed on the download page of the Acer driver for my model.

    So, once I have uninstalled the drivers wifi existing, rebooted, then installed the new drivers and rebooted a second time, my wifi connection was solid...

    not sure why the existing drivers do not work correctly with 8.1, but fortunately the updated drivers are on the Acer download page.

  • Satellite L350 - 16L system restarts when you run with power cord plugged

    Satellite L350 - 16L

    Power cable is connected, start the start, and just at the point where desktop should appear, the system restarts.
    When the system is running on battery, everything works fine.
    When the system boots to battery, works very well, and if I plug in the power cable, the system hangs
    When the power cable is plugged in, battery charge normally.

    I tried the different power cable, same thing.

    Do you remember when this issue began to appear?

    You use the original Toshiba AC adapter that came with this laptop?

    I think that this problem occurs due to the problem of the motherboard and I imagine that there could be some electronic problem power if the AC isn't affected adapter.

    I think it would be the worst case, because it means that your motherboard must be replaced to solve this problem... motherbaord replacement is very expensive and, probably, it is not worth to fix...

    By the way: is it possible to reinstall the system, while the laptop is conencted to the power adapter? What happens if enter you BIOS mode?

  • IPhone 5 s screen does not turn off when it is plugged in to the charger.

    Hi all

    I use Iphone 5s from the last 4 months. Recently I came across this situation. Sometimes I see screen only turns off when its plugged into the charger. After a few hours of mobile will be turned off. Sometimes I manually press the power button to turn off the screen.

    Please let me know how to solve the problem.

    Kind regards

    Manju!

    Hello there, Manjunath K P!

    Thank you for joining the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you're having a problem getting the phone to automatic locking. I know that I want my iPhone did not stay when over and have the screen lock correctly. You can, of course, that your Auto-Lock is set up correctly. Your range of choice of automatic locking from 30 seconds to 5 minutes before locking the screen, or you can choose never so that it does not lock. To change the settings, tap the settings icon, click the general button. Tap the AutoLock option and choose your preference.

    If these steps do not work, and you still do not see the iPhone Autolock when you're in charge, you can go to settings > general > reset and then press reset all settings. This removes all the data. For example, if you have 16GB of music, videos and photos, this option will not remove. What this does is actually reset some of your settings to factory default. It is not a complete withdrawal of the parameters. It deletes all of your preferences for Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, do not disturb, Notifications, general, sounds, brightness & wallpaper and privacy.

    Once that is done, go ahead and try to set the automatic lock again and see if it works.

    See you soon!

  • dv7-1270us accidental power cord Bump

    So, the other night, I was using my laptop with the power cord plugged in. I had completely forgotten and picked up my laptop in another room. It pulled out the power cord from my computer.

    I now have trouble to take the power cord to the power jack on the side of the laptop. I don't have to wave around, but it takes a few tries before it connects and starts to charge the battery. When he does not want to take the charger, the little LED next to the power supply blinks instead of stay on constantly. When the computer accepts the cord, the light stays on.

    He isn't physically feel that something is wrong, but if I have to fix it, no one knows how I would look at? Or should I just watched in get a new computer?

    Thank you

    James

    Decision-making is modular, which means that it can be replaced without welding. Decision-making is at little cost; well under $ 20. Assuming that no other damage has been done other than the Jack, you look at maybe $100 to replace the Jack in a local store. The work is also achievable by a well-organized and modestly qualified amateur. This is the plug for $4 on eBay:

  • Power cord for a Toshiba NB200-10Z bought in the United Kingdom EU?

    Hello

    I just ordered the Toshiba NB200-10Z of Amazon.co.uk because the model wasn't available everywhere in Finland, despite being listed on the site of Toshiba Finland. It ' probably be only with the style UK power cord & plug-and - my concern is where can I find a power cord appropriate for the unit (with a schuko type plug)? Or are the UK and different EU cords also at the other end where they plug in the power adapter, which is what I need to get a power adapter and a power cord?

    Thanks for any information.

    Best regards
    Boucicaut

    Hello

    I agree with Al - eX. As you can see on the underside of the adapter AC/DC it can handle voltages range from 110 to 240 volts.

    You need only a new power cord. Therefore, you can contact the service provider authorized in your country. Maybe you can exchange the cable and if you get one free.
    Alternative go to your favorite computer store. Such a cable, you must find there too.

  • IdeaPad Y400 cadence radically different when it is plugged

    Were so I come of it is that I had the y400 as opposed to a desktop computer so that I can play games while I was away from home.

    The situation is that when I have the power cord plugged in if I am connected via wifi or ethernet I get about 60-70 + images per second, but when I unplug the power cord the highest frame rate, I've seen so far has been to 14 frames per second with the ethernet with what it is as low as 2 frames per second.

    From my reading, a few people have said they like situations and it was solved by removing the management software supply lenovo, where I have not seen any change in the attempt that.

    is this normal? and if so is there a way to change this? I can't choose mobility on performance when it it is radical and may have to go in a different direction in the calculation.

    Thank you for your time,

  • Satellite Pro L500 - stops when the power cord removed

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 stops when the power cord is removed even with the battery to 100%. I removed the battery and all the indications associated with battery answer correctly. For example turns off, Toshiba Health Monitor also indicates when the battery is removed. If installed Health monitor indicates that the battery is at 100%.

    Someone please help. I have not installed anything new.

    Hey,.

    For me, the matter is clear: the battery can't hold a charge so the laptop will be shut down because it has no power.

    I think you need to replace the battery with a new one and you can get a provider of service authorized in your country. Simply contact the guy and ask that they can tell you how much it would cost.

    You can find a list of all FSA here:

  • Satellite Pro U400 freezes sometimes when the power cord is plugged

    Hello! I know that this problem has been addressed here and there, but I'd like to open a new thread about it. Here's the scenario.

    I recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-247 (PSU45E) with two batteries: (a) the original, (b) in addition purchased authentic of Toshiba PA3636U-1BRL, 7200 mAh. The laptop has the latest BIOS (4.80) and the latest drivers downloaded from Toshiba and installed (ConfigFree is not installed). I use XP Pro SP3 (own installation by myself). Everything works fine, except for one thing:

    Sometimes (but), when the laptop is running on battery power and I plug in the power cord, everything hangs and I have to restart. A few observations:

    It tends to occur more frequently when the low battery alarm has rung;
    (b) it seems to happen more frequently with the 7200 mAh battery and less frequently with the original battery.
    (c) it seems to happen most often when a USB device (mouse, for example) has been linked to the laptop, but it is not a rule;
    (d) it seems to happen less often when I move the mouse USB at the time wherever I am connect the power cord.
    (e) I've experimented a lot with Toshiba PowerSaver settings (for example to change the levels of CPU for my profile) but nothing I changed seems to change the situation.
    (f) I tried different suggestions I found on various forums, but nothing works (for example the BIOS settings);
    (g) otherwise, I can say that I have not really seen a smoother computer, everything works really fine, no other problem :)

    Everything that makes me think it must be some sort of bug in the drivers of motherboard driver PowerSaver or other drivers interact with battery, CPU or possibly USB. Y at - it an explanation to this problem and can it be rectified in some way (for example, by providing a driver update)?

    Hello

    First of all, I never heard a driver from the motherboard.
    There is a drive chipset or a graphics card driver. There is no such thing as a driver of the motherboard!

    Look, man. laptop should work fine even the AC adapter is connected or not connected
    If the laptop freezes while there might be a software problem, but in my opinion it could be hardware problem
    You must reinstall the operating system if the laptop would freeze always the issue might be related to hardware

    First of all the memory modules and AC adapter must be verified.
    If the problem persists even using new modules and AC adapter, motherboard may be affected.

  • SCREEN FLICKERS WHEN I PLUG THE POWER CORD A/C

    Can someone help me with this problem. My screen flickers when connected im playing games with my a/c power cord. Howerver when I remove the power cord, it works fine on battery. Also my battery almost won't charge at all with my laptop running, but when I put into hibernation or to stop it charges more quickly. Would appreciate any help as soon as POSSIBLE. Its a Dell Latitude E6400, windows 7

    Diagnosis

    The video "Refresh" is switching between 60 (on food) and 50 Hz (on battery), and the screen goes momentarily empty.

    Solution

    So what about current alternative, office > right click > properties > settings > advanced > monitor. Here, under the display settings, set the refresh rate of the screen at 50 Hertz. After you apply these settings, the flashing problem gets fixed.
