Notebook Toshiba Satellite P10 problem!!!!

Hi!
I have a TOSHIBA notebook Satellite P10, Windows XP.
It is a new computer, not second hand!
The problem is that it shuts down itself when I connect it to the AC adapter.
The only way I can work is charging it while it is off and then using it while on battery.
The problem appeared after 20 days I bought it.
I sent it to the TOSHIBA service, they updated the BIOS, it worked perfectly for 5 hours (connected to the AC adapter) and then the same problem appeared.
Do you have any suggestions?
I am looking forward to your replies!
Christina

Dear Christina
In my opinion you should not try anything. The unit is a new one and there is valid warranty. I dont know in which country you live but inside of 14 days you can exchange your unit with a new one. Please contact your local dealer. Maybe is it possible to exchange the unit. If not, stay in contact with the service partner. Every hardware malfunction can be repaired and they should check it properly. You have paid a new product and it must work properly.
Good luck!

    Hi BC,
    A series of beeps (usually in a pattern of long and short) usually indicate a problem with the main-board in your notebook. Unfortunately, there is no published documentation about the beep pattern to assist with interpretation so the usual advice is to refer the notebook to an authorised service agent who can run diagnostic tests against the notebook.
    The normal boot sequence is to run a POST to check the viability of the system basic components followed by the BIOS load and then finally the operating system. The symptoms you are experiencing indicate a problem in the POST, but without suitable diagnostic equipment it would be difficult to pinpoint exactly.
    regards,

  • 2 toshiba satellite laptop problems

    These are my problems
    1. My HDD indicator is blinking even when I do nothing ( blinks every half second or so)
    2. When I go somewhere my display turns off and when I move my mouse display turns on but nothing is happening. Everything is standing still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes ) and than he is ready to work.
    Upgraded BIOS to version 2.20
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A300-PSAG8E
    anyone know the solutions?
    Need help please! Thank you

    Sounds like windows search.
    Windows search provides content indexing, property caching, and search results for files, e-mail, and other content.
    I used the administrative option to stop and disable it. It's reversable and can be restarted and set back to automatic.

    At first I thought it was the virtual memory settings causing all the hd activity (thrashing) but I noticed it was happening when the system was idle and the machine has 4gb of ram and very little of it actually used.

  • Laptop Toshiba  Satellite 3000 - problem graphic device

    Hi,
    I have installed Solaris 10 on Toshiba Satellite 3000, but it was able to install resolution 640x480/60Hz only. How can change it to higher resolution?

    Look into the kdmconfig command, if you're talking about the GUI that is. Solaris has a nasty habbit that if you configure XSun during the installation it'll "drop back" to the X.org server. kdmconfig can change that again if desired.

  • Satellite P10-221, problem hotkey Fn F5

    On my Toshiba Satellite P10-221, running WinXP, I used to be able to use Fn F5 to switch to my external display. Recently pressing Fn F5 brings up the same menu as always, but the only option is the LCD display. I used to have CRT and TV as options. Is anyone familiar with this problem? I already tried to install the Display Driver (Nvidia), but this did not solve the problem.
    Thanks in advance!

    The external display is connected properly (and does work on toshiba notebooks of my colleagues), so I guess that's not the problem. Besides, the menu always showed more options (CRT/TV), apart from just LCD, even if there was no external display connected. Furthermore I upgraded the display driver, because that was the advice of the Toshiba Helpdesk (and also the only thing they could come up with). So I really don't know how to fix it.

  • Satellite P10 - Sometimes it won't power on

    Hi,
    I've got a problem with my Toshiba Satellite P10 (purchased in 2004).
    Sometimes it won't power on (neither on A/C nor battery) and sometimes the "Shut down"-dialogue appears as if I had pushed the power button (really, I didn't). Then, it powers off instantly and I can't switch it on. Seldom it switches on without touching the power button a few minutes later.
    First, I assumed the reason was the casing, but recently the same problem appears despite the open casing.
    Finally, I believe the problem is caused by a faulty power controller chip. So, I read I could at least try deflexing it by a hair-dryer. That is why I would like to know where the power controller chip is located on the motherboard and how I can recognise it.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello
    [If your notebook wont power on sometimes you should check this article:Which steps should be followed if your Toshiba notebook doesn't start?|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=21]
    But I think nobody here can say you where the power controller is replaced and if you can repair it yourself or not. Here its only an user to user forum and if you have such technical question you should ask a notebook technician (authorized service provider) for help. The guys have access to all Toshiba databases and can order Toshiba spare parts so it would be no problem for the guys to repair the unit for you. ;)

  • Installation of extermal TV tuner PA3334U-1TVN on Satellite P10

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P10. I also have a Toshiba External TV tuner Model No. PA3334U-1TVN.
    Can someone tell me how it is connected to the notebook?
    It appears that I am missing a wire that connects the Turner to the computer but I don't have a diagram that shows me the configuration.
    Can someone tell me how this thing is setup or where I can find the manual on line that will tell me how to install it.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Ive googled a little bit but didnt find any information about this external TV tuner.
    But it seems that this TV tuner supports the USB interface and must be connected to the notebooks USB port.
    I have found this small pdf document with the connection diagram:

    Where is the CPU Lock on The Toshiba Satellite P10-S429

    To be honest buddy, I have no idea what the other guy meant by unlock CPU but in my opinion he has replaced the CPU
    But I doubt this could be the same solution for you please dont understand me wrong but the issue can be related to everything!

    I think only an notebook technician can provide an exact answer to your issue

  • Satellite P10-792/833: which is the chipset? IMPORTANT!

    Hello everybody,
    In order to install properly Win 2000 on a Toshiba Satellite P10-792, I must know which is the chipset of the motherboard.
    It's impossible to find informations about this in the Web, and Toshiba is VERY inefficent: Is it possible that Toshiba sells notebook without specifying the technical specifications?????
    Please answer me which chipset is installed in this notebook; IT ISN'T AN INTEL CHIPSET!

    Thanks Fredo, that's right: It's an ATI Radeon 9100 IGP (RS300).
    Obviously Toshiba doesn't say anything about this... I've called Toshiba phone assistance and they reply me "it's certainly an Intel 865PE chipset"; in the "download drivers/P10 series" there are only Intel chipset drivers... Toshiba is the ONLY producer that hasn't released the correct driver for its computer model...
    I'll try to use Packard Bell (!!!) RS300 driver release in order to use properly my notebook. The other way is to use Ati reference drivers, but there are incomplete and not specific.
    This is the reason because I'm not "cool" at all.

    Ok so i have been looking at different places to buy this laptop, and i would really like to buy it from best buy.  The problem is that your website says that this notebook does not have a BD drive/reader ....both of the Toshiba site and new-egg list that it does have BD reader....so why does yours not since they are the same exact laptop?

    THANKS!

    If it has the same model number it should be the same specifications.
    The item you linked to on bestbuy.com is a marketplace item and is not sold by Best Buy. In this instance it's shipped by Buy.com. So the shipper might have the specifications on the page wrong.
    It appears best buy does stock a very similar model as to the one you linked, which looks like it has a faster processor, includes the blu-ray drive and is a little less expensive.

  • Help - Internal Microphone Problem Toshiba Satellite M305-S4910

    Hello,
    I really hope someone can help me.  2 days ago I bought a Toshiba Satellite M305-S4910 after reading rave reviews on BestBuy.com.    After attempting to use the internal microphone I discovered the following problem.
    When I am on a video chat, it sounds like there is a lot of static on the line.  As soon as I plug in a headset, the sound goes away.  I called best buy for the free 14 day support and they said I have two options.  Bring it in to exchange for a new laptop or PAY for a service person to come troubleshoot it for me.   I have spent the last 3 days transferring files, loading programs, and now I have just about everything set up on this laptop.  I do not want to go EXCHANGE it for a new one and do that all over again.  I can reload software if its something simple like that.  Does anyone have any ideas how I can diagnose and possibly repair myself?  Part of the reason I liked this one is the built in mic and webcam since I video chat A LOT!  
    Thanks
    Kristine

    Hi,
    Since that the problem goes away with the use of external mic, it is very likely that the internal mic is malfunctioning or maybe a loose wire to the mic is causing the problem. Fixing these yourself means taking the notebook apart and possibly voiding your warranty.

  • Satellite P10 Power Problem

    Satellite P10-317
    *Symptoms*:
    External DC LED remains on, but battery LED goes OFF (from green or orange) and laptop runs on battery only (Toshiba Power Management control panel says that there is external DC AND that the battery is discharging). Disconnecting and reconnecting external DC doesn't cure it; but power down into Hibernate and resume and the battery LED comes on again and it runs off the external DC. If no battery plugged in, laptop just dies. Unfortunately the problem is very intermittent. The battery is new and charges/discharges normally.
    *Diagnosis* (provisional): the onboard DC regulator is dying
    *Question*: does anyone have the circuit diagrams? (anyone else seen this problem & know what the cure is?)
    Thanks,
    Julian

    Hello
    As far as I know such diagram is part of Maintenance Manuals and it is not a public document. Because of that I am pretty skeptic that someone can help you with it. You can try to contact nearest authorized service provider. They have these documents and maybe they are ready to help you.
    Make a call.
