New Satellite Pro L670-14M won't turn on unless the charger is plugged in?

Hi All,
New to the forum so would be grateful for any help on this matter.
I purchased a Brand New Satellite Pro L670-14M laptop last week. Now it has been working fine up until today. The last time I used it while just running off the battery was monday evening. I was working on the laptop sending email etc today, and I decided to move rooms. For a reason I have yet to discover I unplugged the charger from the wall (instead of just unplugging the charger from the laptop) while it was plugged into the laptop and the laptop just switched off much to my shock. The was no sparks that i saw from the outlet as i removed the plug but now the laptop will not switch on unless the ac power supply is connected. If i unplug the charger the computer will not turn on.
Now my first thought is that i have (crossed the beams) killed the battery, but the strange thing is, when the laptop is plugged in and turned on and I'm on my desktop screen and i click on the battery icon in the taskbar it states '94% available (plugged in, charging)
While I wait hopefully for some responses I will turn the laptop off and leave the charger plugged to see if the battery has charged beyond 94%

Hello
I think BIOS update would be worth a try in your case. Have a look on Toshiba driver download page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
But before you start the update: Make sure you are logged in as Administrator and close all running programs. Unzip all files from zip archive firstly.
After successful BIOS update load the default settings in BIOS.
Do you use original Toshiba battery and AC/DC adaptor or are they 3rd party parts?

Won't turn on unless the charger is plugged in

I was closing my MacBook the other night, but instead of going to sleep it just shut down (front light turned off.) I thought that the battery was dead, so I charged it over night. The next morning, with a fully charged battery, it still wouldn't start unless the power adapter was plugged in. When I push the power button, the light turns on for a second, but then it just shuts down again. The battery says that it is fully charged. I reset the SMC, but it didn't do anything. I've only had the computer for three days. What's up???
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2 gb factory installed

I just did what apple told me to:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
and now it seems to be recharging, try it out
ps does anyone know that if you do request a new battery from apple, do they just send it to you or do you have to send your old on in first?

Most likely.
You can try to boot from the Install DVD for your Mac and run AHT from there if it boots.
If not it sounds like it is time to take it to Apple for repair.

My iPod Nano 5th G. Won't turn on off the charger!?

I recently just found my iPod since it's been lost, I can't understand why it won't turn on when it's not on the charger? It comes on when I put the charger in, thats fine, an I can listen to music and all, it even shows the bolt on the battery and that it's charging, also shows fine on my computer, it connects an I can sync music but I just don't get why when I take it out the charger it goes off and won't turn back on! I tried looking online on how to reset which I did but no luck not even when when I tried resetting it while charging t still won't come on without the charger connected to it. Unless I'm doing it wrong, I don't get it. It never had that problem, although it's been dead for a really long time but does it make a difference? And the battery doesn't show full, it still shows it charging you know when it moving ? And I can't even tell if the battery has gotten at least half way charged cause it goes right off when I take the charger out. Its been about 7-8 hours that I had it on and off the charger . Can you help me? Does the battery have be completely full to where it's still and green ? Not moving back and forth meaning it's not charged at all? Some gadgets don't show the battery is at least half way. On the computer on iTunes, it says it's up to date

Hello undertow5613,
I would be concerned as well if my iPod nano was not powering on. I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.
I recommend following the steps in this troubleshooting assistant:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

My MBP won't turn on. The charger light goes green but then dims out before it goes out again

My MBP suddenly stopped working when I came back to it. I tried charging it with a couple of different chargers and different sockets. The charger light turns green but then slowly dims down before it turns off.
I tried all key combinations for starting up - holding the power key for long, Cmd+Opt+P+R with power button, Cmd+R with power button, but none of them work. The laptop won't turn on.
What could be wrong?

If you are still under warranty call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty.

Satellite Pro A120-151 - Won't turn on and power LED is blinking

My A120-151 shut down when I was using it. The power LED on the laptop is blinking: short-long-long-short-short-short-long-short
Does anyone know what this error code is?

There's a whole range of error codes associated with the power lights (including both orange and green flashes) They would need to be decoded by a Technician and given that it's under warranty I'd suggest it goes straight back..
The only exception to this is if you have recently changed the RAM? If so, if it is not properly seated then it can not be recognised and the laptop will fails to start.
If you have done this, try removing and *securely* reinstalling the RAM (make sure you take the battery and power lead out first!)

New macbook pro won't turn on unless it's plugged in and won't charge

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and it won't turn on unless it's plugged in. When I unplug it, it immediately shuts down. It's not my charger because my brother has the same laptop so I tried his and it still doesn't work. The battery light on the charger is green and it says on the top of the screen not charging.

Macbook Pro Retina 15" won't turn on. The charger light is orange. I tried all tips that Apple provides on the official site - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204267. Any ideas?

If you purchased it from Apple directly, they have a 14 exchange or refund policy. Keep that in mind when you go to the store.

Sleeping issue on brand new Satellite Pro U500-1EX

Hi Guys,
I've got a brand new Satellite Pro U500-1EX with Windows 7 64bit.
The laptop is having some issues with its sleep function. I am wondering if others have had the same problem - and if anyone knows anything that can be done.
OK there are two issues;
1. when the laptop enters sleep mode - it will come out of it on its own after some time. it goes to the login screen and wait for about another hour before going back to sleep. This is while plugged into power - and no LAN.
2. When I close the lid to put the laptop to sleep - and while on the battery - after some time it will not power up at all. Plugging in the power will not do anything at all - the power light will not come on at all - suggesting the laptop does not even notice being plugged. I then have to take out the battery and switch the computer on (thereby losing any data I had when I put the computer to sleep!!).
So, have you seen this problem with your satellite pro's? Is it something common and to be ignored - or is there an easy solution to it?
Thanks in advance.
- Audette

I have actually updated the BIOS to the latest - one of the first things done when I got the laptop.
And, yes I do have the pre-installed OS that came with toshiba.
One thing I did notice is, if I have the laptop in standby and switch the laptop on again whilst in battery mode, then it will power up. But if I take out the power and plug in power before powering the laptop on- then it will not power up at all!!! Thereby, I have to take the battery out and put back in to get it to work. wierd huh??!!

HDX 16 Turns Off Instantly When Charger Is Plugged In

My HP HDX X16T-1200 CTO Instantly turns off when the charger is plugged in to the computer. It runs fine off of the battery but it blinks off immediately with no warning the instant the charger is plugged in to it. It won't turn on at all with the charger plugged in to it.

Hello UncrackedWalnut. I understand you're having some trouble using your notebook on AC power.
Is this an LED on your power adapter? If so, what is the color when it is plugged into the wall?

My MacBook Pro won't turn on after the new update.

I left my MacBook Pro out and open for it to update and install the new software. When it finished, I connected my iPhone 5s with the laptop via the USB cable. And it completely shut down. And it won't turn on, restart, nor charge.

Did you try this?
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Satellite Pro L670-18F PSK3FE Webcam stops working become "Unknown Device"

The *webcam* on my *Satellite Pro L670-18F PSK3FE* which is running *Windows 7 64-Bit* worked fine until this week. My notifications bar started to say *"unknown USB device"* and when when I went to use the webcam it was no longer working.
When I turned the webcam off in the BIOS the notification stopped but when I turned it back on the notification kept coming up again. The unknown device is clearly the webcam.
I have updated my BIOS and tried system restore.
I have also downloaded the driver for the webcam from http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK and have been trying to run that - +but it NEVER seems to finish installing!+ I will keep trying to reload the driver and see if that helps but as of now I do not believe that the driver will help.
If this is only a driver problem could someone suggest how I get the driver to actually install :-(
I am now at a loss. I am unsure what to do now. Suggestions?... +please!+

Hi
Unknown device means that the driver is not installed.
I think the webcam driver installation should fix this.
Since the face recognition use the webcam too, I recommend uninstalling this tool as well as the old version of webcam software.
Both (or just face recognition) should appear in control panel -> software
Now download the both applications from the driver page.
Start with webcam driver installation:
1) Unzip the webcam driver package
2) The TC30049700N.exe can be unzipped too (right click -> extract here)
3) Now you should see different files exe, dll, and others try to execute the setup.exe to start the installation. If this does not work, go to device manager, mark the unknown USB device (webcam) and install the driver pointing to the extracted folder containing the webcam driver files. The system should pick up the dll files automatically.
4) Reboot the notebook and follow with face recognition software.
Good luck

A four year battery could be dead. I'd contact an Apple Service Center.
