Had to remove my battery in order to boot my Satellite A200

My Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop after allmost 4 years of usage at shutdown remained with the
"Power on led" lit on the systray and refused to boot when I hold pressed the Power Button.
When the Batttery was removed and I tried to boot with AC Power Adapter Cable it started up as usually
without any problem.
The model is A200-1M4
Model No: PSAEOE - 04E029GE
DC19V 3.4 A
Made in China CE.
Up to now my battery was recharging efficiently
and was holding the charge when unused for at least 5 days . When I
was pluging in the AC/DC Adapter the led was turning blue within a few
minutes, anyway it was never flashing amber.
Until recently with the AC/DC Adapter cable unplugged with my recharged
battery I could keep up working for at least one and a half hours.
Can I check the Battery condition before I replace it??
Should I be looking for some other defect to repair or does my battery needs replacement.
Can someone try to assist.
Thanks.

Finally I took the initiative to place again the old Battery into its nest and then power my laptop
with the AC/DC Adapter Power cable plugged in.
Then both the Battery and Power leds were lit in Blue color on the systray and when I pressed the Power
button rebooted and started as usually without any problem.
Still I dont know what caused this irregularity at shut down that blocked my system and obliged me
to work around in order to restore, luckily without having to replace with a new Battery, as mine is still
running strong with Battery icon on the systray indicating "fully charged".
Please consider this case closed and resolved.
Thanks a lot.

  • Why the CPU Frequency will just stated at 1189MHz when the X230 had AC Power ONLY (Battery Removed)?

    Dear All,
    I bought a X230 (i7) notebook.  I found that if removed the battery from the notebook and only use AC power with the X230 Notenook.  The CPU frequency will stated at 1189MHz.  It will not change no matter how many program the notebook is running.  The CPU frequency will rise to 2.9GHz or upto Turbo when the Notebook with battery or battery and AC power.  Why the CPU Frequency will just stated at 1189MHz when the X230 had AC Power ONLY (Battery Removed)?  This is not right.  Any setting in the X230 Notebook need to change?  Please help.
    Solved!

    The situation is probably the same as it was for the X220. A 65W power adapter by itself doesn't provide enough power to run the computer at full speed, but it can when combined with a battery. However the 90W adapter may be able to run the computer at full speed without a battery.
    As it was with earler X-series. This is by design. It allows people to travel with the smaller, lighter 65W adapter. However for maximum speed and flexibility it's best to always use the 90W adapter.

    Took apart Macbook pro 13 to remove broken headphone tip in the jack. Had to remove battery to get to the headphone jack. Now the laptop won't start. The power button is just not responding. Battery indicator showed charge of 3 dots initially but now only the last dot is blinking. The power cable used to light up green initially but now the green light is gone. I have tried SMC reset, which didn't work. What are my options?

  • Can I run my HP Laptop without battery if it cannot be removed (mechanism battery access jammed)

    I don't know if my first message got posted, so I apologize if this is a double post:
    Hi. I have an HP Laptop from 2008. I had to replace the battery last year. Stupidly, I kept the Laptop plugged into A/C. The battery started losing power a week or so ago, losing 2-3 % daily. Today it is at 45%. Problem is-I cannot remove the battery-the mechanism allowing access to battery is now jammed. Is there anything I can do to preserve my Notebook? I should add I am somewhat new to technology (as of 2008) and middle-aged. Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Yes you can, the risk is w/o battery when having main (AC) problem specially losing power suddenly data on HDD may be corrupted.
    Regards.

  • Updated to 4.4 and now my Bluetooth 'studders' when listening to music and a phone call. Yes I have reset the phone and removed the battery.

    I just updated my Note 3 to 4.4.2. Since then when I listen to music or make a call on my Bluetooth my music and calls 'studders' and has some type of 'drop-outs' during the music and calls. This was not the case prior to the update.
    Yes, I have power down the phone. Yes, I have removed the battery and restarted the phone. My Bluetooth headset is an LG 730. I tried listening to music on my other Bluetooth devices and they also 'studders' and has drop-outs during calls and music. I connected with a wired headset and the 'studdering' disappeared.
    Is there a way to revert back to the previous 4.3 version of Android. I use my phone extensively for business and drive with it. The law for my state requires 'hands free' usage of my phone.

    Unfortunately, I was forced to do a factory Reset. This wiped the device to a new state.
    Afterwards all Blue-tooth, wi-fi and calls operated fine.
    I would advise that you notify your customers that they would most likely have to do a Factory Reset once they update their device.
    All contacts, pictures, data and applications were either lost or had to be reinstalled.

  • Can't remove swollen battery

    The tragic situation is pictured in the photo.
    The battery is so swollen it has lifted the trackpad which cannot click anymore. Also the the bottom side of the case has been deformed and the laptop cannot sit straight on the surface...
    The problem is that I owned a Phillips #O screwdriver, and not a #00 one which is supposed to be the one to use to open up this Macbook Pro model (13" mid 2010).
    The #00 is in the mail, I ordered it. Since the situation was getting worse I rushed to open up the Macbook with the #0 and succeded. But I can't for the life of me remove the battery screws.
    Will I be able to do that withe the #00? I just can't take them off. They seem to be a bit different than those used for the case.
    Please tell me I'll be able to remove them with the #00, else I won't be able to use the laptop ever again.
    One more question: I bought this in 2010, so it is less than 5 years old. And the battery ha snow rapidly decayed...is this normal at all? Will Apple help me in any way if I contact them?
    Unfortunately I live in Italy where there are no "Genius bars".
    Thank you
    ps: I wonder if I'll be able to fix the trackpad at least if I ever succed in removing the battery.

    It's too bad, you need 5.5 mm tri-wing screw and 13.5 mm tri-wing screw drivers to remove the battery.

  • Which battery to order for Macbook pro 13" mid 2010

    I have a macbook pro 13" mid 2010. I need to know which battery to order from online store to replace my old one. It is very confusing as there is many models of batteries to chose from the online store.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The batteries available in the Apple Online Store are for Late 2008 and older MacBooks Pro, which include removable batteries.
    In your case, your MacBook has got an integrated battery which is not designed to replace yourself, so you should take the MacBook to an Apple Retail Store and get your battery replaced for $129.
    If you want to replace it yourself, these are the steps > http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+Battery+Replace ment/4300/1 You can also get the battery for your MacBook in that website

  • Small electric shocks, laptop refused to start until I remove the battery and put it back in.

    I own a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series i7537T-5005sLV.
    A short while ago I tried to power on my laptop but it didn't come on. I thought that the battery drained and I didn't notice however when I plugged in the power cord no lights came on. I decided to open up the laptop and remove the battery and put back the battery and try to power on the laptop. It came on after doing that and I saw lights again.
    I also notice that after reseating the battery, the latency between pressing the power button and the laptop actually coming on is shorter. It is almost instantaneous.Before there was about a 1.5 seconds delay. (THIS COULD BE MY IMAGINATION THOUGH)
    I also noticed that I got little "pinches" or small shocks when my skin comes in contact with the edge of the laptop, especially at the end of the palm rest area. The shocking sensation could be cause the hair on my hands as my skin brush along the edges of the laptop as I type. I say this because I've never experienced a shock touching anywhere else on the laptop and I never felt a shock while using the tips of my fingers to touch the edges. 
    One last thing I feel I should mention. Around the SD card slot area there is a small dent protruding outwards; barely noticeable. It was a brand new laptop and the seal on the box wasn't broken or tampered with so I am assuming that this was a manufacture's defect. One I was willing to overlook since the dent wasn't that bad and added some character to the laptop. However I am beginning to worry that the unit might be damaged and that is why I had the power issue.
    The laptop is about two weeks old. I had to replace the first one because the display had horizontal waves running from top to bottom. Even in the BIOS. They were especially visible against gray backgrounds.
    I don't want to have to return another one and I like the laptop but if it is unsafe to use then I'd rather send it back and keep my life.

    Hi Groudie,
     I would suggest you to use the system in a work place or your friends place to check if issue reoccurs.

  • CAMILEO P10 - How to remove the battery ?

    Hello,
    How can i remove the battery from my CAMILEO P10 ?
    I wanna use two batterys, but can't remove the first :(
    PLS HELP !
    Thanks in advance !

    Hi
    The battery is placed at the bottom of the camera near the SD card slot.
    It should not be very tricky to remove the battery.
    You need to push out the cover which secures the battery bay in order to get access to the battery. Then press the battery inwards to release it.

  • Removing the battery

    Hey guys, I was just wondering if there were any steps to take before removing the battery? I dont like to leave it plugged in fully charged, but i like to listen to a lot of iTunes. Yesterday I tried to remove the battery (my first time doing so on this machine), When i woke the computer back up it had crashed and told me to restart. It was plugged in to the power source the whole time. Did I do something wrong? I'm nervous to try it again... Any help?

    I'm running mine with the battery out a lot of the time, too. I think the biggest win is not having the battery cooking away at MBP degrees, that sort of heat is one thing that the lithium batteries really don't like.
    The worry about charge cycles killing it has 3 stages - firstly, once upon a time, laptops would just keep on charging the batteries - that was bad. To stop this, lappie makers started putting in the debouncing step, so the battery has to drop to 95% (or whatever) after a full charge before it'd get charged again. Only over time, batteries max capacity falls off anyway, so after a while it'll think it's only 95% charged, and cook it. The recalibration option is the 3rd step, it should be happier if you do actually recalibrate it every couple of months, so that the lappie knows what full charged is for that battery. Maybe apple should go as far as prompting you occasionally.

  • How do you remove the battery from the Zen V? (Broken alread

    I'm so frustrated. I just bought my Zen V yesterday. Last night, I installed the software, charged the battery, added songs, and everything was going well. Today, after listening to it for a few hours, I reconnected the player to my computer so it could charge. About and hour or so into charging, the whole unit shut down and now nothing I do turns it back on. I've tried to reinstall the software. I've try to disconnect and reconnect it to the computer. And I've tried to stick a paper clip into the reset button.
    Nothing. It's like it's completely dead, which is ridiculous considering I just bought this thing yesterday evening! I haven't even had it 24 hours yet. So now I'm going to try removing the battery (if that's possible), and if not, I'm afraid I'm just going to have to break down and get an iPod.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I feel your pain. I just bought a Zen M about 4 weeks ago and it too is broken. The screen will just show the logo when reseted, other than that its just blank. Altho LED and button lights indicated it is on and doesn't go off. Also my computer will sometime reconise it but the programs wont.
    Sure, i can just take it back and get a new one, but the fact is i have spent hours if not days putting songs on it and will be real pissed off if i loose them on because there is no back ups on my computer.
    If any one can tell me how to pull an miricle, be for i give up and take it back would be apreciated or if same problem happened to them, let me know if they lost all their songs.
    Cheers

  • MOVED: Should I remove the battery?

    This topic has been moved to GAMING Notebooks.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=254519.0

    Agree with RX8, the battery had been designed inside the machine, not an easy job to take it off.

    Hi there,
    this is my first post here so I may have picked the wrong section for this thread.
    Yesterday I got my first MSI laptop, a GS60 2PE (the full HD one..had a very good deal). I don't plan to carry it a lot but more about staying at home and doing 3D modeling and videogame, so I think I will stress it a lot. Should I remove the battery and keep going with the AC adapter?
    I read a lot of review before buying it. Some of them thought that the hot temperature was due to cpu,gpu AND the battery, so maybe removing the battery will give a bit of space for air ventilation without having another component getting warm.
    Doing this will mean turning off the hybrid system. Is that worth it?

  • My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this?

    My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this? I have restarted my computer multiple times, **** it down, and ran a diagnostic test to tell me nothing is wrong and my computer is not running any applications. There is no reason for the fan to be on full blast! when I try to set the option to show my battery icon in the menu bar, it will automatically uncheck. How do I fix all of this?

    Have you tried SMC and PRAM resets?

  • I removed my battery in an attempt to insert a SIM card, obviously without knowing how to insert the SIM card. I put the battery back into place and it was already charged 100%, but it's stuck in recovery mode. I've already restored it, but it won't boot.

    I was trying to insert a SIM card into my iPhone 4 without actually knowing how to do so. I assumed that I was to remove the back of the phone and find a slot for it near the battery. I removed the battery in an attempt to find a SIM slot, and was obviously unsuccessful. I put the battery back into place and screwed the phone back plate back on. Note: the battery was fully charged and the iPhone was working perfectly fine before. After screwing the iPhone back into place properly, I thought, I attempted to cut the phone on and it would not do so. I put it back on the charger, and the screen came up that says "Connect to iTunes". I obviously couldn't do so if its plugged into the wall. I plugged into the computer, connected it to iTunes, went through the Recovery mode process, and it still won't turn on. The computer says that the iPhone is in Recovery mode, but iTunes can't do anything because it has already been restored. When I disconnect it from the computer, I hold all buttons in all possible combinations, but it won't turn on at all. When I plug it into the wall, it again says to connect to iTunes. I don't know if I damaged the battery or any part within the iPhone, but I was sensitive in my approach to removing the battery and putting it back in, and there is no visible damage whatsoever. I am extremely frustrated and in desperate need of Apple-Pro help.

    do you have a cdma iphone 4? becauase cdma iphones dont have a sim card slot... the providers that use cdma technology here in the us would be verizion, sprint, criket, ect... if you want to use your iphone 4 on att or tmobile (gsm carriers). then you would need a gsm iphone 4 (has sim card slot). a gsm iphone 4 is different than a cdma iphone 4 (they have different radio chips). maby you missed the sim card slot? sim card slot would be on the side of the phone.. never inside (unless it has a removable back cover like the galaxy s3 or s4), if you dont see a sim card slot on the side of the phone than you have a cmda iphone 4. can you tell me what carrier you are trying to use?
