With Satellite A30 power problems

Hello

Over the last four years, I have been using a Satellite A30 with XP Pro... had no problems whats so ever until that last months... I started to notice the battery life becomes lower before (prob because of the decrease in battery life) but also when he is on the grid it will charge the battery to 100% but instead of power are removed from the sector It starts to drain the battery even when the sector is connected.

Another problem is that I have to keep or stop the laptop goes into hibernation mode so it can recognize it is powered from the battery to load... even in this case, it may take several attempts for the laptop to begin to charge the battery...

These problems started start after warranty, and was released in additional insurance coverage

Any information or help gladly appreciate it that I fight to get assignments done University

Thank you

Ben

Hi mate,

had a similar problem with an other friend A30. After sending the machine to an ASP (certified partner), they told us that the internal charger was defective and they have offered to swap the motherboard.
But given that the motherboard was really expensive for him he sold the machine on Ebay and bought and Satellite A200 which is a machine really well.

I guess that the motherboard is gone...

That's all

See you soon

  • Re: Sound on Satellite A30-514 problems

    Hi all

    I recently bought a used Toshiba Satellite A30-514.
    I checked and got everything works except the sound and wireless WLAN. I learned that with the wireless, there is no card so that I hope that the problem has been resolved.

    Now to the sound issue.
    I checked all the way through the sound settings, try the things usual e.g uninstall Realtec AC97 audio and sourcing the driver on the Toshiba site and install again, although when 80% through it causes an error while it just goes right to 100%.
    In the Device Manager it happens now with the yellow exclamation point and the properties now show that this device cannot start (code 10) location: PCI bus 0, device 31, function 5.
    It comes up with no device in the sounds and audio devices.
    I tried upgrading the bios (already the most recent) and tried to uninstall and reinstall, but does not work on anything!

    Please someone help ive spend a whole day faced with my brain, but nothing helps, I hope that someone had the same problem and knows more to help, I will be much appreciated if you can help.
    Thanks in advance guys!

  • Question about Satellite A30-power adapter

    Hello

    I own a laptop Satellite A30 and my charger just died. I have looked on the internet to buy a new one, but can not find the same model of the same brand (delta ADP-90FB REV electronics. (E) and having trouble finding something on the site Web of Toshiba.
    I found some Chargers compatible with laptops Satellite A30 on another site, but they are quite expensive (about £55). Another less expensive option?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Believe me: it s better to use than stuff unnamed original equipment. On the one hand, you win money and if your machine is broken due to a power adapter that gives your machine
    a wrong voltage or whatever.

    I had a great experience with my tecra 8100 a few years ago:

    My old AC was broken, so I bought one in a store, which has been declared as "corresponds to 100% and blablabla".

    Cost: $ 37

    After a while my machine freezes sometimes and for a day-> no boot.
    Then I gave my machine to fix after they have made their diagnosis, they asked, what sort of AC, I used. Heh? They explained to me, I used the AC adapter was not a constant voltage,
    If some capacitors smd-says 'goodbye '.

    You can save money, but give you him another side, believe me.

  • Need help with Satellite A30

    Hello

    I bought my daughter a Toshiba Satellite A30 - its a few years old, but worked very well by academic years

    It has a 60 GB hard drive around but when I look at - says I have about 30 GB - even after a new installation of new

    Not mean that it is using 50% of the hard drive for a factory restore drivers etc and details.

    How can I access this part of the hard drive - unfortunately, we moved twice and do not have the documents or the cd that it came with.

    Anyone who can help me - in the right direction will be appreciated
    Thank you very much

    Keval izilda

    Hello

    On the HARD drive there is not a recovery partition type of hidden and you should be able to use the full capacity of the HARD drive. The problem is that we do not know what you have done exactly.

    Have you installed OS on already created partition or you have created a new using 50% of the capacity of the HARD drive?
    Maybe now you create logical drive. Please check this in computer management > disk management. You can find it with a right click on computer > manage.

  • Satellite M30X - power problems

    When the laptop is plugged in (with the battery) the LED on the show before it has AC power to the laptop and the battery is charging. As soon as I try to turn on the laptop, the battery light turns off and the power led lights up. However, he never stays, he sometimes makes as much as windows sometimes cut it during boot up.

    I thought initially it was mabey a problem with the battery. So I tried out the battery and power on. The green light is stays on showing that the laptop has AC power but the light power light just and then turns off again immediately. It is not a battery because the laptop should still work without it.

    Then I thought it must be something to do with the power adapter. But the green light on the front shows that it is powered okay and, apparently, the battery recharges. I also tried to check the power cablw with a meter, and he showed that he is a 19V output (exact, the power supply).

    So the battery is ok the power supply is ok... so where else could the problem be?

    Hello

    There would be something wrong with the electronic power supply.
    In this case, you should contact the ASP in your country
    because he can check it out and starts a few diagnostic tests.

  • Power with Satellite L20-121 problems

    Greetings
    My Toshiba laptop model is satellite L20-121 PSL20e.
    OS: Windows XP Home Edition
    When I restart windows, windows stops, then the led power and WiFi will Flash once and the laptop turns on again and when I stop, the laptop turns off correctly, but when I press the power button to turn on the laptop again, the led power and WiFi will Flash once, the laptop does not light and I have to wait 5 minutes about yo start it again.
    I sent it to the Toshiba Service Center in my country, and they said "we must restore the recovery image", even if it's a hardware problem, not a software, and at the same time, I'm very busy and don't have the time to reinstall the entire system and software applications still.

    What proves my idea it is when I enter SETUP (F2) and output the laptop do the same thing (the LED will blink once and no longer lights)
    The same thing with the BACK... or Linux live CD
    Once the laptop is turned off, it cannot turn on again. only after 5 minutes

    I recorded my laptop in the Standard online warranty system, I hope it helps me
    I have only 4 months remaining

    Appreciate your help
    Thank you

    Hello

    You can do the following: update your bios if not already done and then try with different operating systems (linux, windows, etc.) if the error reappears, then you should send your machine to the partner service and the statement that the error occurs independent of the operating system running.

    Sometimes, they need a few comments otherwise they won´t anything...

  • Satellite A30 - power AC problem

    Hello.

    My computer has a strange random problem related to AC power. It stops randomly. Here is the description (sorry my bad English):

    * Power supply only: (battery not installed) it stops randomly.*

    This isn't a problem of overheating because I have everything clean every 2 weeks. Average temperature of CPU is 45note? Aºcelsius.
    What happends problem with my 2 original adaptors.
    In the CC is fine. No pins bgas and pass the AC adapter cable is not stop it.
    Cables AC adapters are in perfect condition.
    It just keeps shut down. Sometimes I turn the computer and after 30seg its stops around the... other down time 5 minutes... other times 5: 00...
    It happends no matter the cpu load... 0% or 100%...
    I'm not even touch the computer!

    * AC POWER AND BATTERY: * start the computer the battery.
    Suddenly the recharge battery led turns off and he starts to perform.
    Poster source ca but Toshiba power management software it "AC online - DISCHARGE BATTERY"
    Its the same as if I remove the ac power cable but the ac adapter is always recognized.
    Once I turn off the computer, battery starts to charge again. Battery led as active.

    IM thinking on protected by some kind of regulator of tension or something related.

    Any ideas? I already open and look for damaged components but everything seems in good condition.

    Anyone with a similar problem which was resolved by the support from toshiba? What was the problem?

    Best regards

    Hello

    I think that no one here will be able to tell what's exactly wrong with your laptop.
    All makes really strange sounds and I think that it s related to the power supply electronic malfunction, which is part of the motherboard.
    That's my personal opinion and in this case, the motherboard needs to be replaced

    Of course, you can contact the ASP technician to check the laptop. The guy couldn't say exactly what part is malfunctioning and if the motherboard is affected
    As you know the new motherboard is expensive about 300Euros
    So you should really consider if a laptop second hand would be a better choice

  • Satellite P10 power problem

    Satellite P10-317

    * Symptoms *:

    External DC LED stays on, but battery LED turns OFF (from green or orange) and laptop running on battery power only (Toshiba Power Management panel says that it has external DC AND the battery runs down). Disconnect and reconnect external DC does not cure but put into hibernation and resume the battery LED lights up again and he fled the external domain controller. If no battery is not connected, laptop just dies. Unfortunately, the problem is very intermittent. The battery is new and normally charges/discharges.

    * Diagnosis * (tentative): the DC regulator on board is dying

    * Question *: does anyone have the circuit diagrams? (anyone else seen this problem & what is the cure?)

    Thank you

    Julian

    Hello

    AFAIK this diagram is part of the maintenance manuals and is not a public document. Because of that I am quite skeptical that someone can help you with it. You can try to contact the nearest authorized service provider. They have these documents, and perhaps they are ready to help you.

    Make a call.

  • Satellite A30 overheating problem

    I've had my A30 for about 9 months now, he is just starting to give me problems. At least I have put the computer on top of some books (which is very heavy) my A30 overheats and shuts down. It only started happening. Is it just because of the dust build up or do I have a technical problem. If this is the first, where should I go to get my computer cleaned? Any help will be received with recognition of Ed

    Hello

    Dust clean usually of the heatsink from the CPU using a domestic vacuum hose in the fan air intake grilles.

    Alternatively it is possible to remove the heat sink by removing the small plastic cover (adjacent to the air intake grilles) and then by unscrewing the screws in the sink four hest. The heatsink can then be lifted off and removed debris. Ensure that the heat dispering paste is always in place reassembly of the heat sink.

    Please do not forget to p [ower off Notepad first.

  • Collection with Satellite A200 series problem

    Hello

    I had problems at the start of Windows Vista. It does not run in any mode. When I try to recover (by pressing '0' to the screen, that nothing is happening).
    I used my recovery disks to restore the operating system. They run for awhile, and then a white screen comes up and it stops. Then I get PXE: memory, disk failure check cable.

    Finally, with some trial and error I could finally launch the recovery disks, when I try to recover with the factory settings it will stop with disc 2 does not end copy the files. Then I had to recover without recovery partition. After finishing, I found that it loaded Windows XP not Windows Vista. Where did Windows Vista go and how can get it back.

    Please someone help me with this problem.
