  • Satellite A500 - Battery light flashes when connected to mains power

    Win 7 Satellite A500 PSAM3A-03P00E.
    The battery light flashes when connected to mains power (intermittent fault), when I unplug mains and re-connect flashing stops and battery (high capacity) continues to charge.
    Also when battery light flashes the key board back lighting stays on when it should blank out and if the back lighting is off and the battery light starts flashing the key board back lighting doesn't turn on, all other functions seem to work fine.
    The battery charges and holds charge as it should (when light flashes battery doesn't charge).

    Hi
    Did you notice this issue from first day of purchase?
    Theoretically it could be possible that your battery starts to malfunction
    At the other hand an electronic issue might be possible too
    However, try this:
    Remove ac adaptor and battery. Then press and hold power buttons 30 sec long.
    Then insert the battery and connect AC adaptor again does it helps?
    By the way: is BIOS up to date? If not, perform an update.

  • Satellite U305 No power, battery light flashes

    My U305 no longer powers up. Whether battery plugged in or not, battery light flashes and nothing else happens.

    Hallo Michael
    There must be some serious issue with power supply electronic. If there is serious problem with power supply the notebook sends hexadecimal code and this code can help technicians to identify the problem.
    I am afraid there is nothing you can do about it so please contact nearest authorized service provider and ask for help.

  • Satellite L300-20D shows Blue Screen at start-up

    My sons laptop has recently started to blue screen. When booting up now the startup repair runs for around 15mins but finaly goes to blue screen and goes no further.
    He does not have a boot disc.
    Is there any way of repairing this without taking it to PC World? Laptop is arond 9 months old so still has some warranty left but PC World advise this does not cover this kind of problem.

    On this way it is not possible to offer some exact explanation why this happen. What you can try is to start operating system in Safe mode. Start your notebook and press F8 several times. In Advanced boot options you can find this option.
    If operating system starts properly try to roll back OS to earlier time using System restore tool.
    At the end you can try to install OS again using HDD recovery option - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  • Satellite L300 - Disk.sys error on Windows start up

    I got my recovery disk today inserted and after a couple of reboots I managed to to get the Advanced menu F8. I selected option for Safe Mode with command prompt. The window started to load various windows drivers etc. It has now stopped at the line of code with a please wait and has been like this for over 2hours.
    Loaded: \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys
    I booted up in VGA mode same
    I tried last known good configuration no joy.
    what's left for me to do it is obvious that I have a bad driver how do I interrupt the command prompt and run chdisk or check for corrupt drivers etc.
    If I have to reload the OS can this be downloaded from microsoft or is it chargeable.
    If anyone has any new ideas I would be very grateful need to get this sorted.
    thanks
    Franco

    Hi TwoLags,
    as you can see from the paper trail I originally could not get into advanced mode the forum suggested I purchased a recovery disk . The disk now allows me to get into F8 and advanced mode if I choose safe mode it scrolls through all the drivers but halts at \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys with a please wait message in the windows bar.
    I have tried booting up in safe mode with cmd prompt same,last known good config dark screen?.
    My question is what happens next am I looking at a complete OS reinstall which I don't have windows vista home premium edition 32 bit.
    Surely there must be a way of intreput the safe mose cmd and run a disk check to repair any corrupted files etc.
    cheers

  • U510 won't turn on, battery light flashes twice when plugged in then nothing

    My ideapad u510 is dead. It won't turn on and no power. The only indicator i get is sometimes when inserting the power adapter the battery indicator light will flash twice amber then turn off. Is this an error code of some sort or is the adapter shot and just not charging or powering up the computer?

    Hi Citrineaux,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with system not powering on in your Lenovo U510 laptop.
    Try to connect with different adapter and check for the issue. Also connect the external monitor to check if the issue is no power or no display. Check if you are able to hear the windows login sound.
    As this model has the inbuilt battery, please try to power on by reset button or novo button.
    Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!
    Best regards,

    Hello, see if this helps...
    The following table lists the new tones and their meaning:
    Tone(s)    Description
    1 tone, a 5-second pause, repeat    No RAM installed
    3 successive tones, a 5-second pause, 3 successive tones    RAM does not pass data integrity check
    1 long tone when holding down the power button    Firmware upgrade in process. See About firmware updates for Intel-based Macs for more details.
    3 long tones, 3 short tones, 3 long tones    Firmware restoration from CD in process. See About the Firmware Restoration CD (Intel-based Macs) for more details.

    Can you count the beeps or flashes?
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

  • Firefox worked before, but now, when i try to start it, i get and error "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed". I tried to reinstall it, to reboot, nothing helps.

    Hi,
    Firefox worked before, but one time my system crashed. When I rebooted, Firefox won't start anymore. All I got is a pop-up window, saying We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts. Problem is it never restarts. When I press Restart Firefox button, I get the same message. I tried to reinstall Firefox, to make a new profile, rebooted the system, nothing works. What can be done ? Thank-you.

    Of course I checked firefox crashes. I searched and haven't found my problem. I used Firefox 5 when it happened, then, seeing it doesn't work no matter what I do, I upgraded to 6. The same problem. So it's not 5 or 6 related. Computer probably wrote something to hard disk when it crashed and now the file is corrupted and prevents Firefox from starting. I don't know what file (or part of the registry) is. I could erase everything, but that would mean I will lose every Firefox settings and I don't want that. Now I am using Google Chrome to write this. I miss my Firefox. :( What else can I do ?
    This is the error I get when I try to start Firefox:

  • Satellite L300 - Very slow start up and freezes

    Hi all,
    I have a Satellite L300 which has treated me well - however over the past 2 months it has got really slow and freezes quite often. I have run through anti virus, spybot etc and come up with nothing.
    Last night I tried to reformat the system by pressing and holding 0 which did not work then tried with F8 which let me do a further scan but no reformat. I am now quite pleased that I failed to do the reformat as I purchased windows 7 after the original purchase of the laptop.
    Any ideas anyone - or anyone with the same/simular problems?

    Hey,
    That means you have Windows 7 installed at the moment and not preinstalled Windows version?!
    Well, in this case the HDD recovery option is not available anymore. You can do this on preinstalled Windows only.
    To format your notebook you need Toshiba recovery disk.
    Did you create it?

  • Everythime when I try to start Mozzila I get a Crashreport. So Mozzila do not open. No menu nothing

    Everythime when I try to start Mozzila then I get this http://tinypic.com/r/2qi026b/5 http://i41.tinypic.com/2qi026b.png.
    For the rest. Nothing works. Only this. I click on the Firefox Icon and I get thit. And I don't know how it can.

    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
    #In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
    #From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • Toshiba Satellite L300 - Will not start

    I have a Toshiba Satelitte L300 Laptop, the DC in power plug was loose so Pulled it apart and refixed the adapter, it ran OK for a while.
    Prior to fixing the plug, there were many times when switched on the fan would start, power light would turn green and orange at the same time, run for about 3 seconds then shut down.
    It would not start again until DC power plug removed and battery taken out, then all put back in again, the same would happen again, this could go on until finally giving up.
    Other times happen once or twice then run without a problem.
    If all is well only the green power light should illuminate.
    Other times fan would start, power light would turn green run for 3 seconds, fan stop switched off, then immediately start again then ran with no problems.
    Now when power switch pressed, orange and green led's come on, runs for 3 seconds then switches off, you can not try to start it again until DC power plug removed and battery taken out, when all put back in again the same thing keeps happening.
    With battery in, then plug in DC, the DC and Battery lights come on at the same time.
    With Battery removed, plug in DC, the DC light can take from 3 to 15 seconds to come on.
    With Battery in and DC plugged in, try to start runs 3 seconds and stops , both DC and Battery lights remain on.
    Do the same again and remove DC supply only, both DC and Battery lights remain on.
    Do the same again and Battery only, both DC and Battery lights remain on.
    Remove Battery and unplug DC, wait around 30 seconds, plug DC in again, it takes around 3 to 15 seconds for the DC light to come on.
    When plugged into DC battery charges OK.
    I have changed memory, hard drive, checked all connections to the motherboard used another Power Supply, but could not find a problem.
    Would appreciate any advise.

    Hi I know this is an old post but it is so similar to my problems (seems common) I wondered if anyone has any suggestions?
    I have 2 L300's  one had a broken screen for a long time so I used it through my tv and worked well till a few months back when it refused to switch on as above.
    I was then given another L300 (bit better spec with a web cam) That died last week when the power jack snapped inside so I decided to make 1 good one out of 2 no go's. I thought the problem was the hard drive on the one with the broken screen, so swapped screens and hard drives but the same no boot problem is happening :? 
    I have taken out the battery and plugged in (with thedifferent hard drive from original ) and got  'status oxc 0000411 and hyberfil sys errors
    I changed back to the original hdd and still no go. I then took out the ram? gave it a look over and put it back and it started fine in safe mode and normally. I then turned it off to let it charge fully (which it is) and now it won't boot up again, fan and cd is working and I still have my system restore disk 
    I have XP on one hdd and vista on the other.
    Any idea?
    Also can anyone tell me if the ram and hard drives and any other bits are interchangeable?
    The one with the web cam (in bits now) is Model PSLBOE 07 JOOSEN :? if that helps
    and the one I am trying to get running is
