W500 power loss

I had a W500 WIndows 7 that turns off, usually unexpectedly while you sleep, but sometimes too, so on. Disable it happens as if the power is lost (for example, the battery/cord are torn out). After a turn off like that, I sometimes need to reconnect the battery and the power cord. Doing some reading here and elsewhere on the web and came upon the electrostatic suggestion. Was able to go back at least a few times by touching the underside of the laptop, but it worked erratically.

Since it occurs especially when the unit is in standby, I pretty much dismissed temperature and software problems.

Decided to check the spindle of memory section bending solution. My laptop needs to have his palm rest took off to access the RAM modules. People kept on some pins door RAM, but since mine is not a special door of the RAM, I folded the pins at the bottom of the palm rest, and so far, no loss of power, but it is too early to tell.

Laptop computer BTW is not guaranteed. Any suggestions? What I did is generally useful? Any other reason power loss sudden that I'm missing? (other than a software, heat and electrostatic)

Thank you!!!

Do you have a spare battery? I've seen these cause the problem you describe

  • FPGA reset during power loss? NEITHER 9802 Module

    We have recently started using the NI 9802 on a cRIO system. We get the error-65550 discussed here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/BD118434E87B9732862575C8006FD7FB

    The article says that the error can be caused by resetting FPGA, while the drive was mounted. "To avoid this error to occur in the future, do not reset the FPGA so that you have an SD card installed, reset before getting the map or after the card is dismantling. Is a loss of power reset the FPGA and will need to reformat the card? We intend to use it as a remote system and the power failure is possible. We would not be able to travel hundreds of miles on the device to reformat an SD card in the case of a loss of power. This is not normal. How could they sell a module that worked like this?

    In addition, must the card be formatted with FAT32 or FAT16?

    rex1030,

    You can make this system more reliable is to wire the battery backup to the secondary entrance on the cRIO.  There is screw allows you to analyze of what energy source is active (I think there are examples, otherwise I can watch it for you) so that you can detect that you have switched to the backup power source and properly remove your SD card.  When the power is restored you can back the card and continue where you left off (and ideally to recharge the battery backup).

  • question of host esxi4 after power loss

    After a loss of power, I have two hosts in vcenter which show that is not responding... I can SSH in them, but I can't connect with vsphere client directly to them or access it via https, I rebooted and restart services with no luck...

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Can you access the DCUI interface? Try to restart the management agents. Make sure that the network parameters and the DNS entries are correct. View the logs. Real-time logs are visible by using ALT + F12 see if there is current errors displayed or any other indication of the questions.

    You can remove hosts such vCenter suggested by Troy ESXi?

    You can use this KB to remove and reinstall the agents to the ESXi host http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003714

  • Satellite A30 - sudden power loss

    2 times recently my A30 suddenly just cut dead, almost like a power cut (even if it wasn't!). If I tried to re - start right away it would only have access to the login screen and then completely cut out again. If I leave then for an hour or two (cool?), it starts OK. Oddly enough, you do NOT receive the usual message "windows was not shut down properly, now check the drive for errors," i.e. it booted up just normally, however the 2 I was working on documents Word have been recovered OK.

    My feeling is that it may be a hardware failure, possibly related to the temperature? Someone out there you have ideas? Thanks in anticipation...

    Hello

    It could be an overheating problem. If the temperature drops to the critical limit for the operating system stops the unit. It is a thermal protection of the portable Toshiba.
    Well, the overheating problem is a very serious problem. I recommend to check for dust cooling fans. Try to clean it with the vacuum cleaner.
    If the problem persists then you should contact the service partner.

    Good bye

  • M60: Turns off after power loss

    My M60 sometimes turns off immediately after unplugging the power supply (AC power or plug the laptop CC), instead of out on the battery even though the battery is fully charged.
    The battery is OK & the laptop starts regularly on the battery after pressing the on switch.
    The Toshiba Power Saver seems to work OK & I have the latest version of the BIOS.
    I always save my work before unplugging, but again, I do not like this behavior & would appreciate some good advice.

    Hello

    I agree with tom, and the device must be checked by the service. I think there is something wrong with electronic power supply. If the battery has only 20% of capacity by removing the AC adapter / CC unit should not stop.

    I hope that you will find what is the problem.

  • Installation of Windows 7 crashed after power loss

    I desperately need some help here, myself being not not a computer genius.

    I has been upgraded from Vista to W7 and left the laptop unattended topic step 6 (I think).

    When I returned however, my laptop was powered down, as the power cable had came out. Now when I go to start windows, it tells me the installation was not complete, and I have to restart and restart the installation.

    The problem is that I can't do this, because I can't further in windows than this.

    What should / can I do?

    Hey,...

    Go into your BIOS settings to change the startup options so that it starts on the CD/DVD drive instead.

    You should be able to start it again.

    The only thing that can be a problem, it's that he CAN'T let you upgrade n he need to clean install? If someone else can confirm if it is the case or not?

    Worth a try?

    Satellite M55 turns off by unplugging the power cable to unplug my laptop making rather that to the battery, my laptop will often simply turn off even though the battery is fully charged. Other time things work as it should.

    I had the motherboard replaced for another reason and was quite surprised to notice the problem after a replacement (but without reinstalling OS).
    The main suspect is the TPS and its pilot; A few months ago, a new version is released the Toshiba support site for M60 (although file dates are not fresh, and I think that I have installed this version earlier).

    So, I removed the GST and the GST pilot. I tried several times and it didn't happen again. Not even when I reinstalled the.

    During the test, I have disabled the HD write cache to avoid file corruption problems (but this slows down HD operation, particularly of hibernation).
    I don't know if it works because also earlier the computer would be closed only occasionally, not all the time. But this may be a clue in case you have this problem. If you do, please test and report the result, no matter what the result is.

    What to say dude. The problem is that this problem occurs ONLY occasionally and so it's not easy to find the real reason for these cases.

    However, I would try to give some useful advice, but first of all, it would be useful to know how old your battery.
    Fact is that batteries old and stressed loose clean performance very quickly.
    My battery is about 3 years and my laptop running on battery for 10-20 seconds even if it s fully charged. The performance is simple very low!

    On the other hand the problem could be related to faulty electronic power to the Board of Directors
    As you can see it's not easy to tell what's exactly wrong and as already suggested in other threads (locked), you should ask a technician for a control of the laptop.
    The guy could run diagnostics tests and can locate the fault.

  • Lenovo Y510P | Sudden power loss on unplug and operate the State cycling under the optimized battery

    Hello

    I recently came across these related problems on my Lenovo Y510P of power: model i7, 8 GB Ram, GT750M configuration.

    ----

    It started after I installed a new SSD for the system, the clean install of Windows 8.1 with all latest drivers except the previous version of the BIOS and Lenovo Energy Management. Until all this started, the battery would not charge I have troubleshooted and fixed this problem by removing the battery and holding down the Start button. Over the next few days, I started to have additional problems.

    When I unplugged the power adapter, the system suddenly put off the power. Here is what happens:

    1. turn on the system with connected adapter and battery attached.

    2. unplug the adapter

    3. quickly plug adapter

    4. Quick disconnect adapter again.

    5. the system turns off completely.

    Then, I started to notice that the "Battery optimized" regime, the power state would be cycle between power adaptor and batteries, as observed in the cycling of screen brightness and performace cobs. This has happened only if the battery charge level was higher than 60% but less than 98%. Regularly, I used this energy system and did not notice this problem until very recently.

    ----

    I reinstalled the original SSHD (same OS and driver installation methods), where these issues were not present in the past. However, two problems remained.

    I've updated the BIOS and the Lenovo Energy Management to the latest versions. Two problems persist.

    ----

    I would appreciate any help or insight. My tech knowledge level is above average, so feel free to use the advances or procedures. Thank you!

    I don't know what the problem at the moment with your laptop, but if it's a problem with the power supply or the battery it can easily lead to a fried motherboard.

    I would like to communicate with Lenovo and send the laptop for repairs or ask for a replacement charger and battery.
