Re: Satellite A200 - Problem with Generic AC Adapter

I own an A200 running Windows 7; I've had it for a few years and the battery had degraded to the point where it only held a small amount of power, so I ran it on AC power pretty much all the time. However the plug at the end of the power cord (where it plugs into the computer) gradually became looser and looser to the point where I had to twist and turn it and wrangle it just so in order to get power to flow into the computer; the other day it stopped working completely.
I went out and bought a third-party AC adapter ('Lite-On'); I'm in a foreign country, but the adapter had the same type of plug and the same power specs (same input range, same voltage output) as the busted adapter that had come with the computer. When I plug it in, all the power-supply LEDs light up and it seems to be working perfectly. When I start the computer, however, sometimes I'll get a screen that says 'Windows failed to start...possibly due to an interruption in the power supply' despite all the LEDs remaining solidly lit during startup. This only happens occasionally; what happens every single time is that within a minute or so all the LEDs will turn off and the computer will instantly shut down; the LEDs will then light back up again instantly. Sometimes this happens during the start-up process, and sometimes I'm able to get as far as logging onto Windows before it shuts down.
Can someone please tell me what the problem might me?

After reading your posting I also believe that this issue has nothing to do with AC power supply.
There must be some other reason for these switch offs.
In most case this behaviour is typical for overheating. In short period of time hardware reach critical temperature level and notebook simply switch off without any warning.
You can do small test: start your notebook and enter BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and see if the same will happen again.
As Akuma already wrote, try to clean the cooling vent and cooling grill.
Problem is that dust blocks cooling grill and notebook cannot be cooled down properly.

Satellite A200 - Problems with AC adapter

Hi,
The problem concerns an Satellite A200 (PSAF6A-02H01N).
Recently there has been problems with the Laptop taking several attempts to start up Vista, it would lock up while loading or just crash and freeze just after loading Vista.
But Once it was up and running the laptop would happily work for hours with the AC adapter plugged in.
The problem has now got worse and the laptop will not finish loading Vista without crashing.
We have now narrowed the it down to only having a problem when the AC power adapter is plugged in.
The Laptop battery will charge normally with the AC adapter plugged in and the Laptop in standby or switched off.
The problem still exists with the AC adapter plugged in and the battery removed.
The notebook will start up and run perfectly with the battery in and no AC adapter connected. Once the AC adapter is plugged in the Laptop will show that the battery is charging then after a few seconds it will crash or freeze and the only escape is a complete shutdown.
The laptop will only run under battery power for about 30mins max.
I have checked the Voltage output of the AC adapter and this appears to be a consistant 19.4 Volts.
Is it just an AC adapter problem or does the problem lie with the laptop?
Thanks in advance..
Gaz.

Crashing/BSOD's can be caused by many things. The first thing to do is check the RAM and HDD for problems.
Test the RAM for errors. You can use the free Memtest utility:
1) Go to http://www.memtest.org/#downiso and download the "Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip)"
2) Open the ZIP file and extract the ISO file to a temporary folder.
3) Burn the ISO to a blank CD using an "Image-to-Disc" or "Bootable CD" project in your CD/DVD burning software (dont use a normal Data Project).
4) Insert the Memtest CD into your laptop and turn it on, press F12 to launch the boot menu, and select "CD".
Test the Hard Disk for errors by using DFT.
DFT Download: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT
Download the ISO File and burn it to a CD-R Disc (There is also a Floppy Disk version if that's easier).
If you dont know how to burn an ISO file, read this guide: http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm
Restart your laptop and boot from the DFT Disc.
Choose the "Advanced" Test and let it run (it may take an hour or so).
If you see a red message box, the HDD is faulty.
An error code 0x70 means there are bad sectors and the HDD needs replacing.

Satellite A200-1vp with Vista - CD/DVD drive failure code 39

Hi,
I have been burning and watching DVDs on my Satellite A200-1vp, with vista, since February, the last time I burned anything was a couple of weeks ago.
Suddenly there's a problem, no response when I load a disc and my divx player tells me no recorder found.
When I search in the device manager I get the message " windows cannot load the driver for this hardware" (code 39) " driver is corrupted or missing".
I tried uninstalling it and using the Toshiba upper/lower limit filter repair tool but on restart it still failed to install.
Should i try the Toshiba Recovery Disc and loose a lot of unbacked up programs/files, as last resort?
Would that work?
Anybody got any ideas?

Here is an interesting Microsoft knowledge article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us
You should firstly access the device manager and should remove the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
Then should access the registry and should remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Reboot the notebook and check if the CD/DVD drive would work again!

Problem with JCA compliant adapter in XI

Increase the trace level of AFW components to "info" with the Log Configurator J2EE service using VisualAdmin.
When the error happens again, crawl into the most recent DefaultTrace, either by opening the file or by using the more confortable NetWeaver Administrator log viewer (defaulttrace), reachable via browser at http://xiboxhostname:5<sysnr>00/nwa

Minor Problem with MagSafe Power Adapter

I got my MBP almost a year ago now (partially why I'm asking the question) and I've noticed that my power adapter doesn't always show the charge light. Sometimes it is not on at all, and sometimes it is less bright in color (both green and amber).
If I remove it and put it back it usually corrects itself.
It if fully functional; even if the light is completely out and plugged in it still shows as charging.
So, is this normal? I never remember having this sort of problem with my PB G4.

I would think the led light on my adapter cable was broken, but I discovered it works fine on a co-workers MBP. His adapter, which we know works, does NOT work (ie. the led does not come on) when attached to my computer. This indicate to me that the problem, whatever it is, can sometimes be with the computer and not the adapter.
I would be curious if others with apparently dead leds have tried their chargers on other MBPs.
Here's the long version of my story:
My 5W MagSafe completely fried after only 9 months.
The new adapter was fine for several days until this morning.
My "low battery" warning popped up, so so I plugged it in to recharge and immediately noticed the little led on the charger cord did not come on.
I found it hard to believe that I had another bad adapter, so before making the trip back to the store, I went into the studio where there are some other MBP users.
I plugged my adapter into another laptop and the led came on. It appeared to function completely normally. I tried MagSafe adapters from two other MBPs, but the led did not come on on either of them while attached to my computer.
This made me think there was some sort of problem with the connector on the computer itself. Just visually, it appears to be clean and corrosion free.
The next obvious step, it seemed, would have been to try swapping batteries with the other laptops, but mine is a 17" and everyone else here has 15"... and so we have different battery sizes.
One of the people here at the studio had a little utility called "Coconut Battery", that reports information about the battery health. When I ran it on my laptop, I got what I thought were rather surprising results.
It showed the usual things like current charge (21%), battery capacity and so on. But under "Additional Info" it said "Charger connected: Yes" and "Battery is charging: No".
I figured this narrowed it down to a problem with the battery. But as I was showing these results to my co-worker, the "Current Battery Charge" changed from 21 to 22%. Huh? We left it plugged in and it continued to show a steady climb in the charge, as if it is working normally. Except there is no led light, and the software still says it is not charging. Odd.
I then noticed that the built-in battery level indicator on the status bar was also showing the same increases. The led lights on the back of the battery are indicating an increase as well.
Just out of curiosity, I ran a second battery health analyzer program and again got these conflicting results. This one reported the same battery charge and capacity and so on as the previous one. It also recognized that the laptop was running off of AC power, that there was a battery, but it said "Not Chargeable."
So now I am going to let it continue until I have a full charge and then see if the computer will run as usual from the battery.
I don't think the store here is going to give me another adapter since this one appears to work just fine on the other computers.
Any thoughts on why the led would work on other laptops but not mine?
Why the battery health monitors report that the battery is being charged, but also that it is "not chargeable"?

Problem with generics in general framework

Hi,
I've just started using generics and I've been able to solve most of my problems with type declarations etc, but I still have a few problems left.
My current problem is in a class which has a map of classes which implements a generic typed interface (The interface is called Persister in the code below).
The map is declared as:
private Map<Class<?>, Persister<?>> persisters =
          new HashMap<Class<?>, Persister<?>>(); And the interface is declared as:
interface Persister<T>My problem is that a method in the class which has the map should return a Collection of type T.
Can that be done without supressing warnings?
It's probably hard to understand what I mean (since I don't know the terminology) so here's a complete minimal example which illlustrates the problem. The problem is in the selectAll method in the DbFacade class.
The lines:
     Persister persister = persisters.get(clazz);
     Collection<E> result = persister.selectAll(clazz);Needs to be altered but to what? (Or do I need to make more changes?)
Thanks in advance
Kaj
///////////////// Start of complete example
import java.util.*;
class ClientSample {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          DbFacade facade = new DbFacade();
          //Works..
          Collection<Holiday> holidays = facade.selectAll(Holiday.class);
class DbFacade {
     //Map with many different type of persisters,
     //one persister per class.
     private Map<Class<?>, Persister<?>> persisters =
          new HashMap<Class<?>, Persister<?>>();
     DbFacade() {
          persisters.put(Holiday.class, new HolidayPersister());
     //This is where I'm stuck
     //I don't want to add supresswarnings to this method, so what should I do?
     public <E> Collection<E> selectAll(Class<E> clazz) {
          //The following line gives:
          //Persister is a raw type. References to generic type
          //Persister<T> should be parameterized
          Persister persister = persisters.get(clazz);
          //The following line gives:
          //Type safety: The expression of type List needs unchecked
          //conversion to conform to Collection<E>
          Collection<E> result = persister.selectAll(clazz);
          return result;
interface Persister<T> {
     List<T> selectAll(Class<T> clazz);
abstract class AbstractPersister<T> implements Persister<T> {
class HolidayPersister extends AbstractPersister<Holiday> {
     public List<Holiday> selectAll(Class<Holiday> clazz) {
          return null;
class Holiday {
     //data
}

Well you can put in a type cast
Persister<E> pesister = (Persister<E>) persisters.get(clazz);but you'll stil get a warning. Sometimes there's just no avoiding them. What, AFAIK, you can't tell the compiler is that each entry of the map contains a persister for the class mapped to it.
All it knows that classes are mapped to Persisters.

How can I watch a DVD movie on my Satellite A200-1HE with WXP?

Hello,
I have purchased a Satellite A200-1HE notebook and have uninstalled Windows Vista. Now I have installed my own purchased copy of Windows XP and downloaded the drivers from Toshiba web site. But now I want to use the computer to watch DVD videos and/or write CD disks, for example, and I cannot find the software provided with the notebook (Intervideo, Disk Creator, etc.).
Do I have RIGHTS for that software? How can I download and install them FOR FREE, since I just don't want Vista, I want to use XP?
Thank you
Wagner R. Landgraf

> How can I download and install them FOR FREE, since I just don't want Vista, I want to use XP?
This additional software was bundled only with the Toshiba image and cannot be downloaded for free! You must understand that there are different copyright restrictions and only original Toshiba software (drivers & Utilities) can be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

"Performance" problems with the File adapter on Plain J2SE Adapter Engine

Hi,
At the moment I'm on a customer side to solve some XI issues for a few days. One of the issues is the performance of the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine, using the file adapter to transfer XML messages(already XI message format) from the legacy system to the Integration Engine. The File adapter has to deal with "large" XML messages(max at the moment is 65 Mb) and the engine fails with the following error when transferring the big XML file: "ERROR: Finished sending to Integration Engine with error "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError". Skip confirmation and quit this loop".
As far I got the information from the customer the memory use of the Plain adapter engine is set to 512Mb. This is maybe to low. But I don't know where to look for this, I only have the adapter web interface in front of me, no access to the OS it self via for example remote connection.
On the Integration Engine I know there is the ability to split large message with the file adapter(File Content Conversion), but I don't know this for the Plain Adapter Engine. Is there a possibility to do this also on the Plain Adapter Engine?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Greetings,
Patrick

Hi Sameer,
Thanks for your answers.
On the first solution, yes that is possible, we first decided to see if the legacy system can do the splitting, before starting developing a Java program.
On the second solution, as far as I know is this solution possible on the Integration Engine. But we are facing the problems on the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine. I went trough that documentation(link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/246b3de666930fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm ), to look for I similiar solution in the Plain Adapter Engine. So my question is, is this possible with the Plain Adapter? And if so, what kind of parameters I need to use to achieve this.
Regards,
Patrick

Satellite A200- Interfacing with Sky HD box, via the i.Link on my Notebook.

Satellite A200-1VP
I'm trying to find away of recording to my Notebook's DVD drive, from my SKY HD boxs harddrive, So I can copy recorded programmes from the Sky harddrive on to DVD discs.
But do not have an HDMI interface port, only the AVI & VGA out, which is not a digital input, only the other signal output as we understand.
So I was thinking about using the i.Link (IEEE 1394a) port, as this was designed to send DVD camcorder date to the Notebook to be recorded ? wouldn't the DVD camcorder be sending a Digital signal and if this is so, shouldn't this work in that way ? is there a device or cable on the market that I could use to make the interface possible do this ?
I've looked at cable's, through out the internet but cant seem to find a HDMI to i.Link (IEEE 1394a) there are plenty of USB to i.Link (IEEE 1394a), but seem to be under the impression that the USB 2 can not deliver the date at a fast enough speed for this to work..
Any ideas would be of help thanks.

Why you don't speak with your local dealer and experts for this?
If you don't have adequate port on your notebook you must search for other external solution.

Problem with a JDBC Adapter when connect to Instance on SQL Server

Hi,
Currently I'm setting up a communication channel with the JDBC adapter to work on a SQL Server database. When I use a string without specifying the connection instance, the JDBC driver takes the default instance and connects to a database without problems.
jdbc: sqlserver: / / Server01; databaseName = IntegraSAP1
The problem is when I need to connect to another instance of it server.
jdbc: sqlserver: / / Server01; instanceName = SAP; databaseName = IntegraSAP2
The JDBC driver, in short, send me the following error:
Cause Exception: 'Error when attempting
to get processing resources: com.sap.aii.af.lib.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException:
Unable to create new pooled resource: DriverManagerException:
Can not establish connection:: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException:
The connection to the named instance has failed. Error:
java.net.UnknownHostException: .
I appreciate your help,
Regards,
Johnny

Not sure, might be port number is not required in case using instance. Give one more try with :
jdbc:sqlserver:/ /Server01\SAP; databaseName = IntegraSAP2
A comment from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378428.aspx
"SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 allow for the installation of multiple database instances per server. Each instance is identified by a specific name. To connect to a named instance of SQL Server, you can either specify the port number of the named instance (preferred), or you can specify the instance name as a JDBC URL property or a datasource property."

Problem with standalone resource-adapter

Hello,
I have problem with excluding standalone resource adapters from enterprise applications on OAS 10.1.3.4. Because collection of standalone resource adapters can change dynamically (release of new versions, creation of new environment), I cannot enumerate names of resource adapters into orion-application.xml.
In documentation of application server I have found:
Deploying Multiple Versions of a Standalone Resource Adapter
To configure an application to use only adapterA, you would add the following elements to the application's orion-application.xml file:
<imported-shared-libraries>
<remove-inherited name="adapterB"/>
</imported-shared-libraries>
Because both standalone resource adapters are imported by default, it is not necessary to explicitly import adapterA.
An alternative configuration follows:
<imported-shared-libraries>
<import-shared-library name="adapterA">
<remove-inherited name="*"/>
</imported-shared-libraries>
I tried to add following orion-application.xml into my enterprise application, but standalone resource adapters are still visible in class loader of enterprise application.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<orion-application>
<imported-shared-libraries>
<import-shared-library name="global.libraries" />
<import-shared-library name="global.tag.libraries" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.cache" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.dms" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.gdk" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.http.client" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.jdbc" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.jwsdl" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.persistence" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.toplink" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.ws.client" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.ws.jaxrpc" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.xml" />
<remove-inherited name="*" />
</imported-shared-libraries>
</orion-application>
How should I disable including all standalone resource adapters without explicit enumerating of resource adapter names in orion-application.xml.
Thanks a lot

Problems with my power adapter!!!!

I just got a new adapter for my Powerbook G4 the other day because the wiring at the plug on my old one wore out. My problem is that the new adapter, when plugged into my computer, sometimes just stops working like it has been unplugged or something. After unplugging the adapter from the wall socket and reinserting, it works fine until my computer goes to sleep. At some point in sleep mode, the little light from the plug in the computer turns off and my computer is only running on battery. This in itself is not that bad, but it gets to be a hassle having to unplug and then re-plug the wall plug everytime my computer goes to sleep. Can anyone help me understand this a little better?

I purchased by G4 six months ago. Since Day one, I have had problems with the power. If I leave the computer plugged into the outlet 24 hours a day, the battery will slowly begin to drain. Even if I never unplug the power source from my computer, the computer begins to drain battery life. For example, I went to bed with my computer charged @ 100%. This morning (all while my computer was sleeping), I have 8% Battery Life left.
I've spent 5-6 phone calls with Apple Care on this issue with no resolution. I sent my G4 off to Apple Care 2 weeks ago and they returned it with a "We Don't Recognize a Problem". I about went through the roof. And, yes, this happens with any outlet I use.
I expect more from a $2500+ machine and their "award winning" customer service.

Problems with a car adapter?

I have an ipod nano along with 3 other members of my family who also have ipod nanos. We purchased an adapter for the car to listen to the music through the radio. The adapter we bought wasn't apple brand, but 3 of the ipods work fine with it. When I plug my ipod into the adapter, it doesn't play even when it says it's playing on the ipod. I turn both the sound on the ipod and radio up, but it doesn't work. What might be the problem with my ipod and what should I do?
ipod nano Windows XP

I've used radio-type iPod adapters that recognized any file format the iPod would play--in my case, most of them are not MP3, they're AAC or even sound from MPEG movies. The radio adapter simply receives an audio signal from the iPod and broadcasts it on a low-power transmitter. It probably never knows (or cares about) the format of the file in the iPod.
I would first plug in earbuds to make sure there is audio playing. Next, I'd make sure the connector is properly and firmly connected. Finally, I'd make sure that the frequency your adapter is broadcasting is the same one the radio is tuned to.
I found the sound quality from the FM radio adapters disappointing and switched to a cassette adapter, which sounded much better. If your stereo has an auxiliary input, using that would give even better sound quality. I hope that helps.

Problems with Generics

Ok, I have a problem with the <? extends NamedType> generic parameterized type, here are three example classes:
public abstract class Base
     public abstract <? extends Base> getMe();
public abstract class Spec
extends Base
     public abstract <? extends Spec> getMe();
public class Impl
extends Spec
     public Impl()
          super();
     public Impl getMe()
          return this;
     public String toString()
          return "I live!";
}And a main method in another class:
public static void main(String[] args)
     Impl im = new Impl();
     Impl i = im.getMe();
     Spec s = Spec.getMe();
     Base b = Base.getMe();
     System.out.println("im = "+im);
     System.out.println("i = "+i);
     System.out.println("s = "+s);
     System.out.println("b = "+b);
}And the compiler returns this:
Base.java:3: <identifier> expected
        public abstract <? extends Base> getMe();
                         ^

        public abstract <? extends Spec> getMe();
                                                ^
4 errorsPlease assist.

It worked!
I don't know why that didn't work in Eclipse, so:
"Return types are compatible if the overriden method's return type is a subclass of the original method's return type."
I also mistyped the main method, but this new one didn't change the original error:
public static void main(String[] args)
     Impl im = new Impl();
     Impl i = im.getMe();
     Spec s = Spec.getMe();
     Base b = Base.getMe();
     System.out.println("im = "+im);
     System.out.println("i = "+i);
     System.out.println("s = "+s);
     System.out.println("b = "+b);
}should be:
public static void main(String[] args)
     Impl im = new Impl();
     Impl i = im.getMe();
     Spec s = i.getMe();
     Base b = s.getMe();
     System.out.println("im = "+im);
     System.out.println("i = "+i);
     System.out.println("s = "+s);
     System.out.println("b = "+b);
