Sat 1900 Intermittent problems

Over the past few weeks, a variety of messages have been displayed after switching on:
1. "Preparing to Hibernate". What is this?
2. "Checking file system on C:. Type of file system FAT32
3. Dial up Connection window comes on but then no response from any button - not even the Off button for about 4 minutes.
4. All the above is on mains power. When I try battery only, the low battery alarm sounds after about 10 minutes.
Sometimes, like now, everything works OK. Any ideas anybody, please

Hi,
I think I could help you but I need some further information about your latop. Which Sat 1900-xxx is it, which OS is installed (Toshiba Recovery or own installation?).
Some Infos about Hibernation:
Hibernation is a type of Standby modus, you could set it in the Toshiba Powersaver or Poweroptions of MS in the control panel. When the notebook prepares for hibernation, the data content of the RAM is saved to a reserved hidden folder on the HDD, then the Notebook turned off and no power is used (the Notebook sleeps).
In an easy way explained all programs and connected hardware which are running and working before hibernation, will be started again at the same position like before hibernation and you could work again. The boot sequence of hibernation is very fast because the content of the hidden folder on hdd is only copied to RAM.
Advantage of hibernation: There is no power used which discharges the battery

  • W701 Lenovo SSD won't start, intermittent problem

    specs:
    I think of W701 as the model number, but Lenovo considers it to be 4323CTO
    It used to have a Lenovo 128 GB SSD as the C drive, with a 360 GB HD for the secondary drive. Now I've replaced the original SSD with a Samsung 512 GB SSD.
    Running Windows 8 now, but it was doing the same on 7. It does seem to be a hardware problem.
    This is an unusual problem. I posted here a couple of months ago. I have made a bit of progress since then, mostly in finding out what doesn't work.
    It used to be an intermittent problem, but now it's frequent. It's happened since the computer was still on warranty, but it was so infrequent then that it wasn't likely to happen while tech was looking at the computer. It seemed pointless to complain or try to get it fixed. Lately it has been getting worse and worse.
    It is 3 and a half years old and this has been the only serious problem, so I'm hoping for a way around it. When I press the power button to start it, it takes 2 or 3 seconds for the first visual to come on. It has the Thinkpad, Lenovo and Intel logos on it, and says: 'To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button.'
    That's as far as it gets. After that nothing happens, no drive activity at all and nothing I can do but shut it off. There is no response to the mouse or to pressing any key. Pressing the Thinkvantage button also does nothing. It would sometimes do this at least 50 times in a row.
    What would get it going in those cases was:
    1. leaving it for a few days or a week without touching it or
    2. removing the SSD, replacing it with the HD (which would attempt to start but had no OS installed) and then switching back.
    On one of these forums, someone described a problem that had some things in common with mine. It turned out his SSD was dying and when he replaced it, everything worked. I thought that might be it and replaced the drive. It worked for awhile but now it started with the same problem. (sigh)
    I suppose it might be an intermittent connection between the SSD and the rest of the computer. Replacing that wiring harness would be my next guess but there might be other possibilities. I suppose any small electronic part involved in the start up process could be at fault.
    Except for this problem it has mostly been a decent machine. It has a 17 inch, 16:10 screen which might not even be available now and I appreciate that size. I would like to get this restored.
    tia

    Thank you practical, that struck me as a great idea.
    The little problem with it is getting an OS on the drive. I do have an image restore for Win 7, and after that it would take installing 8.1 again, so just a bit of work. But it seems clear to me now that the SSDs were not the problem. I basically agree with your comment:
    "It sounds to me more likely, especially given the intermittent difficulties you have had in the past, that there might be an issue with the SATA electronics on the main board -- a tiny crack in a wiring trace, cable not fully seated in a socket (or perhaps contacts a little corroded) a flakey chip somewhere, etc."
    I think the most likely possible solution now is to replace the motherboard. I saw someone else with a problem that had something in common with mine; he mentioned that he solved it by doing that. That would fit in with one of your comments. " there might be an issue with the SATA electronics on the main board."
    So I started checking around at Lenovo.com and got the part number. I was able to talk to sales twice to confirm that it is the correct part number, and they transferred me to parts to find out about price and availability. Both times the parts person could not hear me, after having a normal conversation with sales. It seems like their phone system has some kind of problem with transfers. I called back 2 more times to let sales know about the problem, and got busy signals.
    I had phone problems that I posted about in my T530i laptop problems topic. I had at least 3 calls that could not be completed by their system, and I'm starting to wonder about them getting anything fixed if they can't take care of that.
    So I checked out the motherboard at http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/IBM-Lenovo,Thinkpad,W701,4323000,Laptop,System-Boards.aspx They didn't have one in stock, and all the guy could tell me is that it would be more than $600 if they did get one in. I did appreciate even that much info. It was more than I had been able to get from the other supplier. I did see one on another site while searching that was over $1000 so I expect the $600 is low.
    But this is getting seriously discouraging. This might change, but right now I feel like getting a Toshiba or something and just giving up on Lenovo. The prices of new laptops aren't that much now.
    But thanks again for your comment. It jolted a bit of thinking, and most of the research I've mentioned in this post.

  • Help intermittent problem with logging in

    Help i have intermittent problem with logging in, sometimes it just comes up with the desktop without any icons or dock and i have to restart the server so i can log on properly, but it doesn't happen all the time, any ideas would be appreciated???

    The clients login window just shakes and won't login. I did find one thing that helps some of my Mac Lab woes.
    Some students get a dock that only has 3 icons. These students also will have saving and printing problems when they get this default dock.
    I think some of the problems occur when the student gets over quota, some preference files get corrupted.
    1. Student will login.
    2. Open the student's home folder. Then open Library and Preferences.
    3. Find the file com.apple.homesync.plist and delete it.
    4. Empty Safari Cache and the user's Trash Can and make sure they are not over quota.
    5. Logout and login.
    This will fix some problems, but not the problem when students can't login at all.

    I’m having an intermittent problem with my midi controllers triggering Mainstage 3.
    I’m using a PreSonus Firebox audio interface.
    It’s been working fine for months, but now when I first turn on the computer in the morning , I’m not able to trigger MainStage from the keyboard.  I tried different midi controllers, different keyboards, different midi cords, and check midi preferences.  The audio interface is working fine and is recogonized, but the midi doesn’twork.  I re-started the computer several times and then finally it miraculously starts working again.
      I’ve been having to this every day now.  Any help or ideas is very much appreciated.

    I Had the same problem with a FireStudio. Try unplugging the FireWire plug and the power plug. Wait for a few seconds, then plug both back in. The light on my FireStudio was flashing blue/red which means "not connecting." I did what I just described, and everything works again. Hope it works for you.

  • Bridge won't launch from CS3 - intermittent problem

    Hi folks<br />I dont think I am alone in experiencing this problem as a quick google threw up other sufferers but the suggested fix  update everything at the Adobe website  has not fixed the problem, so I am hoping that someone here can shed some light.<br /><br />Problem 1; Bridge will sometimes not open from CS3 - ie when I click on the icon , or if Bridge is set up to open automatically when CS3 opens, I sometimes get an error message that reads <br /><br />error 2:Photoshop is undefined. Line: 1  ->photoshop10.invoke bridge (false, false, );<br /><br />When this happens Bridge will still open fine from the start menu, so it is not disastrous but is annoying because the keyboard shortcut <shift ctrl W   > won't work either (to close a file in CS3 and bring the Bridge window up on screen) - a similar error message is received when using Shift Ctrl W as when trying to open bridge.<br /><br />Problem 2; the fly out menus will not remain on screen.  Eg if I have a layer and want to access the blend mode menu - if I click on the menu in the layer palette the menu appears for a second and then disappears.<br /><br />Problem 3: If I try to create a new action as soon as I click on the "new action" in the actions palette the word "scripts" appears multiple times in the action - it just produces line after line of this until I click the button to stop the action.<br /><br />Problem 4 (may be related to problem 2 ?); in the crop tool - I can't get the cursor to remain in the width and height boxes - so I can't control the dimensions of the crop (which is currently stuck at my last size of 3 x 4 cm - not much use to man nor beast).<br /><br />Most frustratingly of all  - these are all intermittent problems.<br /><br />Things I have tried - updating CS3 and bridge from Adobe site, opening CS3 and bridge before any other program, not running any other program at the same time, uninstalling and reinstalling (after disabling all antivirus etc stuff), but so far nothing works.<br /><br />I am using a 1 year old Dell PC, lots of RAM and hard drive available, only working from internal drives, no new  hardware or software loaded (although there might have been a windows update - but this occurred after the problems started and has not noticeably changed things).  Windows XP pro. Recently done whole system scan for viruses etc and no problems found.<br /><br />Please help, this has been going on since I loaded CS3 a few months ago and it is driving me nuts.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Amanda D'Arcy

    Amanda - One consistent recommendation that has fixed a lot of problems, especially if program worked before, and does not now, is to reset preferences. This is not the same as uninstalling and reinstalling, as the preference file is not affected with that operation.
    Since it is intermittent problem this will probably not help, but worth a shot.
    When it does not work is there some process that is running, like a anti-virus scan, or?
    What about startup scripts in Bridge? Disable any you do not need.

  • Has anyone an Intermittent Problem sending mail from Mac OS X (10.6.8)?

    I have a Mac mini operating on Mac OS X(10.6.8) Snow Leopard. In the last couple of weeks I have been having intermittent problems sending mail from Mac MAIL, especially if I hit the reply button.  It whirls around for ever and then tells me to 'Try Later' or 'Try Again'.  When I shut down my computer and open up mail again, I hear the mail whizzing off.  I have just tried it now and it went in the time that it has taken me to compose this email. But sometimes the mail doesn't go at all. Could it me because I have too many messages in my inbox and sent boxes (around 1000 in each)?  I read somewhere that you should delete Mail in library/pref/com.apple.mail.plst and reinstal it.  But I'm frightened to do this in case I can't re-instal it as I don't know how to.

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

  • I've an intermittent problem with microphone on iphone4

    what kind of problem do you have with the microphone?
    You may want to take a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802 since its the iphone hardware troubleshooting page.
    It could just be a hardware problem. You may need to get it in to an apple store.

  • Intermittent problem with Personal Hotspot

    Hello All
    I think either my iPad 2 or my iPhone 4 is mental.  Can anyone convince me otherwise?
    For some months now I have been experiencing an intermittent problem with tethering my iPad 2 to my iPhone 4 Personal Hotspot. 
    Sometimes it works without a hitch (although I have to turn the Personal Hotspot on the phone off and on again to get iPad to 'see' it) and at others, like now, it shows me the message 'Unable to join the network 'iPhone'.  It throws the message up so quickly that even though it 'sees' the phone in the list of networks, it behaves as though it can't actually be bothered to even try to connect.
    I have tried reboots and restarts, 'forgetting' the network, changing passwords, sacrificing a chicken... all the usual stuff.  But still when it gets in this kind of mood it stubbornly refuses to do anything.  I have even taken it to the Apple store where, not surprisingly it worked first time and the assistant looked at me as though I was an idiot.  It then proceeded not to work for a couple of days again as if punishing me.  There is no problem with the general Wi-Fi connection as I have another phone (an Android) that I run as a Hotspot too.  It has never once had a problem connecting to this or any other Wi-Fi connection..    
    Confusingly, and rather irritatingly, after a few days of this not-connecting lark it will have a few days of not having a problem connecting at all.  I won't have changed any settings on either iPad or iPhone and so I have no way of figuring out why this is happening.  This has been the same situation with all versions of iOS I have installed ever since buying the phone in April 2012, and the iPad in June 2012.
    Please, is there anyone out in the ether that can suggest a solution to this?  Or is one of my Apple products simply mad?  I have given both devices a strong talking-to, but this hasn't sorted the problem either.  Next, I think I might have to try sacrificing a goat.

    I have the same issues with my iPhone 5 (6.1.4).  I do not have an answer for you, and perhaps my "workaround" will lead someone with more knowledge about these things to offer us more information.
    When I turn on the Personal Hotspot and it does not show up as visible on my iPad or MacBook, or offers that ambiguous message about being unavle to join the network, I perform a few steps that almost always resolves it.  I have to go through these steps twice sometimes.  The order of operations seems to affect the outcome (at least it appears to me that it does)
    Turn off WiFi on the client device (iPad, MacBook, Windows laptop, KindleFire, etc)
    Turn off Personal Hotspot on iPhone
    Turn off Bluetooth on iPhone
    Turn off WiFi on iPhone
    Then turn on Personal Hotspot and allow it to automatically start WiFi and Bluetooth.
    Turn on the client WiFi services.
    Connection successful!
    As I said, I sometimes need to perform the steps ablve twice, but it eventually works.  It is incredibly frustrating to go through these hoops to make the device perform.  I do not know precisely when the problem began to occur, but I don't think it did not occur on my iPhone 4s with IOS5.
    Any help from the Apple guys would be appreciated.  I think it is a software issue, because the shutdown of services and restart seems to resolve the issue.  I guess I might take a trip to the Aple Store to have them look at this behavior.

  • Collections intermittent problem

    Hi there
    I am experiencing some strange behaviour with collections.
    I have a page 1 where you add items to a collection via a checkbox and a submit button. The checkboxes appear checked when the item is already in the collection - this is done in the select as follows:
    select
    APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(2, dcd.dcd_id,DECODE(dcd.dcd_id,(select c001 from
    htmldb_collections where c001 = dcd_id and collection_name =
    'FYP_CART'),'CHECKED',null)),
    Page 2 shows a simple collection report.
    (no joins, simply 'select c001,c002...from apex_collections
    WHERE collection_name = 'FYP_CART')
    Here's the intermittent problem..
    I add 5 items (for example) on page 1, and receive a message that 5 items have been added.
    When I then go to the report page 2, it shows only 4 items in the collection.
    If I then go back to page 1, there are 5 checkboxes checked, which proves that there are 5 items in the collection.
    So, im at a loss to understand what is going on here, seems to be a bug?
    Most of the time it works perfectly, but occasionally does this. Often also after removing an item from the collection, I am then unable to add the same item.
    Has anyone else seen anything like this?
    Thanks for your time,
    Rhodri

    Forgot to mention...
    I am using Apex 2.2.1
    I am capturing the SEQ_ID during the add member, as follows:
    :P3_X := HTMLDB_COLLECTION.ADD_MEMBER(
    p_collection_name => 'FYP_CART',
    p_c001 => v_dcd_id,
    The 'Add member' returns the next valid sequence number, so appears to work, but it doesnt always go into the collection.
    very strange.

  • Merge with Background Intermittent Problem

    I would appreciate some help with an intermittent problem I've been experiencing with version 6 and 7 of Captivate.
    Sometimes the merge with background option just doesn't work, the image disappears whilst others times it works perfectly.  I cannot identify the reason behind this.  Sometimes it takes a save or a preview of the project before it will do the merge and sometimes it just will not work.
    I am not using any Master slide objects on top or the master slide background and it happens in many different projects.
    Sometimes some slides it will work on and not others.  If anyone has any ideas what the reason behind the option working or not could be I would be grateful to hear them.
    Thanks

    Sadly I still haven't found the cause for this and in fact the other day just part of the image was disappearing when I did the merge.  I just have to leave the image as a separate entity until it merges properly or in some cases permanently.
