Satellite A100-225 is not charging even with new battery

Hi, Having a charging problem. Laptop suddenly shut down whilst using. Tried to start up but power light goes out and it shuts down again. With battery connected and ac adapter switched on the blue power light and yellow battery light stay on a few seconds and then shuts down, not allowing start up.
Took the old battery out thinking it was that and my laptop starts up fine using just the ac adapter as this is how I am currently posting this. Refit the battery and the power light comes on and off again every few seconds and prevents start up.
Have purchased a new battery thinking it was faulty but to no avail, exactly the same problem.
Left the laptop off to charge the new battery but noticed the blue power light and yellow battery light going on and off together every few seconds.
If I try to start the laptop up while the power light is on it starts to start but as soon as the power light goes out it stops. My thoughts are the charging unit inside my laptop is shorting out but I am no expert.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and would it be expensive to fix as I have just spent 48 on a e new battery.
Thanks Mick

>Refit the battery and the power light comes on and off again every few seconds and prevents start up.
Are you sure that the battery is compatible ? did you purchase the genuine battery from Toshiba ASP?
I think batteries from 3rd party retailer could not be compatible always so I would test the notebook with a battery recommended by Toshiba.
At the other hand it could be a motherboard problem but if the notebook start up properly using the AC adaptor, I would not be quite sure if its really a mobo issue.
Try also this:
Remove battery and AC adaptor, press power button 30sec long.
Then insert the battery and connect AC adaptor and check if you could power up the unit.

Hello
I recently bought a new battery for my Toshiba Satellite L775-11N.
When I plug the battery in, the battery led stars flashing (according to the manual, it means the battery has no energy anymore and is not charging).
When it is plugged, I cannont start the computer, I have to take it back and put it after.
What can I do to make my battery work?
This is the second i buy, from two different websites, the modele number is strickly the same.
Thanks in advance, sorry for my bad english (french is my mother tongue)

IPod Won't Hold Charge - Even With New Battery

I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked, but after a search, I could only find questions about similar problems, but not my exact issue.
I have a 5G 30Gb iPod that I purchased in November of 2005. The battery never has given me any problems, and I would charge it on average 2 or 3 times per week. Then, about one month ago, it suddenly stopped holding a charge. I remember leaving it charging via USB cable one night, then I uploaded my daily Podcasts the next morning, and after unplugging it, it would die within 30 minutes of use. I would have to plug it into the wall to build up enough charge to reboot as it wouldn't ever get enough charge from USB to reboot (it would always say "Very Low Battery" no matter how long it was connected to the USB).
Fine, since I've had it for nearly two years, I figured the battery probably needed replacing, so I purchased a replacement battery and replaced it myself thinking that would solve the problem. The thing is, the new battery behaves exactly the same way. I can leave it charging all night and the iPod will say "Charged" when I unplug it, and then it will be dead within just a few minutes of use. I'm wondering if it is some sort of firmware issue preventing the battery from charging properly. I have noticed for the short period that it will run off the battery, there is a "plug" icon showing up in the battery indicator so I'm wondering if for some reason the iPod always thinks it's plugged in whether it is or not.
I have also Restored the iPod to its factory settings to see if that would help, but it still behaves the same way. If I've eliminated the battery as the cause, what else could it be? I'm kind of frustrated because the problem seemed to happen all of the sudden. Anyone else experience an issue like this?

From your description I would say a part failed in the charge circuit. This would cause behavior in a new battery as you describe. You should consider having a technician look at. There are some good places on the net that will give you a quote before repairs.

Battery wont charge even with new battery

Tries two diferent maglink chargers...light stays green, battery remains at 0% .....despite a new battery. Tried most things. Any suggestions?

Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller? That is a good first step for power related issues such as this.
Best of luck.

Macbook not charging even after replacing battery

I have a 13" unibody that was having problems charging, and eventually died and would not run off of battery or the power cord. When I took off the bottom of the computer and disconnected the battery the computer would work fine as long as it was hooked up to the power cord. I bought a new battery and instaleld it and the computer worked flawlessly. I decided to recalibrate the battery per the instructions on the apples website and now when I plug the power cord into the computer for normal charging I get the "Not Charging" icon on the top. If I pull the plug it wont shut down it shows that it has a little battery left. The condition shows as normal and coconut battery shows the current charge @ 2%. Everything worked fine 6 hours ago.
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Resetting PRAM did not change anything.
The Magsafe LED is black, no color.

Thank you for the reply.
I have a new charger coming in the mail so I will see if using that solves the problem. Right now there are 2 macbooks in the family with only one charger as my puppy chewed through he cord on the other one. I tried swapping the magsafe but keeping the same cord (magsafe to computer), but still didn't have any luck.
I think it's weird that I originally could not even power the Macbook on unless I removed the bottom, disconnected the battery and plugged in the power supply. Then when I installed a new battery it worked perfectly with or without the power adapter until I tried to recalibrate the battery.

Iphone works but is not charging after installing new battery

Hi guys ,
I am going to do my best to clearly explain what has happened with my Iphone 5s. I noticed my battery was losing charge much quicker then normal so i went ahead and ordered a new battery from Ifixit. I consider myself pretty decent at hands on jobs so i went ahead and replaced the battery myself to try and save some money. The installation went as smooth as can be, No broken parts to my knowledge and the phone went back together no problem. I then powered the phone on , it came on just like normal and everything seemed to be ok , besides the fact the the battery they gave me was only charged 13%. This is when my problems started to happen , I grabbed my apple charger and plugged it in like i would do any other time to charge up the battery. I came back in a hour and noticed that it was still stuck on the same 13% and had not moved at all. It recognized the charger and even said it was charging and showed the lightning bolt but would not take the charge.
I started looking up things online about how to fix this and found a lot of people with similar problems after they changed there battery or lcd screen. I then unplugged it and thought maybe it needed to be calibrated so i let it run completely out of juice until the phone shut off completely. Plugged it in again and now it was stuck at the screen when your phone is dead and shows that it needed to be plugged in. I tried cleaning out the the charger port and that did not help. I then thought it might be the battery IFIXIT sent me so i took the phone apart again , and put my old battery back into the phone , put it all back together and it turned on no problem, I thought my issue was fixed but i was wrong. I went a plugged it in to charge it and the same thing happened again , would not take a charge just stayed stuck on the same percentage. I went through the phone and made sure all my connections were good and nothing was broken. The phone has been barley used over the last year and before i replaced the battery it had no problems what so ever and the charger port always worked fine.
Does anyone have any idea what my problem could be? I have read so many forums and spent hours trying to get to the bottom of this with no luck yet. Alot of other people seem to have this same problem happen when they replaced there battery or LCD but cant find a solution. I contacted IFIXIT and they thought it could be a bad battery and are sending me out a new one next day shipping. That was before i tested my old battery and found out it has nothing to do with a bad battery it just wont take a charge now. Any help will be greatly appreciated i no longer have apple-care so that's not a option. i was told to maybe clean all the connections with alchol but im a bit nervous that could cause more problems?

Ok, you go and pay that 80 bucks, I will go have a nice dinner with the money I saved.
Fair market value for a legitimate iPhone battery would be about $40-50. If you're paying anything less than that, then you're getting an inferior battery. How much did you pay for the replacement battery? Let's assume you didn't get scammed, and actually did purchase a quality (albeit unauthorized) battery.
So, you saved about $30-40. Okay, good so far. However, now you run the risk of:
A) The installation was performed incorrectly, and causes a problem down the road.
B) The battery or iPhone has a related issue within the next few months, and you pay for another battery and/or another installation, because the first one didn't fix the problem.
C) That battery wasn't actually a quality battery; it was just priced like one, and it leaks, expands, causes a fire, etc.
There's a phrase you need to learn; penny wise and pound foolish.
Depending on the context, it has various meanings. In this context, it means you are trying to save a little bit of money in the short term, but failing to see the possible long term costs.
Let's take a hypothetical:
I have an iPhone 6 Plus, 128 GB. Retail cost: $949 USD + tax.
My battery needs to be replaced. Apple quotes me $79 USD + tax. I find a place in the mall called 'iFix iPhones 4 U' that will do it for $40, parts and labor included.
"Heh, dumb Apple, they think I'm a sucker. I'm saving me $39 and taking my girl out to a fancy place, like Red Lobster!" (sarcasm intended)
About three months later, I notice that my iPhone 6 Plus is getting really warm. Like, toasty warm, almost enough to burn my skin.
I go back to the kiosk in the mall that replaced my battery. They tell me they don't warranty their work past five days, and they could replace the battery again for $40, if I want. Great. Now I've broken even, but at least I have that great Red Lobster dinner memory!
A few weeks later, the screen flashes red, and the iPhone locks up.
The kiosk guy tells me he's down, and to go somewhere else. He's sick of seeing me, because he's already got my money, and there's a sign that says 'All sales final'. What am I gonna do? Hire a lawyer over $80?
Maybe Apple can help. I go to the Apple Store, explain my case, they inspect my iPhone, and then tell me they cannot replace the battery because the device has had unauthorized service. Dang. Okay, but I've heard that I can get an iPhone 6 Plus exchanged, even if it's damaged, for $329. Surely they will do that, right?
Nope. Unauthorized modifications void ALL support options from Apple. Meaning I cannot get it replaced by Apple. So, what are my options?
A) Pay another $949 USD + tax to get another iPhone 6 Plus 128 GB.
B) Find another unauthorized shop and try my luck again... and again... and again.
Guess I'm not going to Red Lobster anytime soon.
“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.”
TL;DR Version: Saving $30-40 bucks today might end up costing you 20x as much later on.
Instead of that nice dinner, chew on that instead.

My iPhone 5 will not charge. Has new battery. Must be the lightening connection. Any advice. Genius told me to buy a new phone for $250. HELP,

My iPhone 5 will not charge. Even though it will show that it is charging, it will often not accept a charge. Appears to be the lightening connection, because I can sometimes get it to work by playing with the connection point. Phone is 16 months old. This problem has been on-going for months, and is getting worse.
Anything I can do other than buying another new phone?

PowerBook shuts down even with new battery

My mom has a 12" PowerBook that she recently purchased a new battery for. Even with this new battery, the laptop shuts down seemingly randomly before the battery gets even down to 20%. They sent a new battery, and the laptop still does it.
Any ideas?

Sounds like the power manager needs replacing. See these sources which may be able to fix it for less than Apple:

Officejet 4620 All in one Not printing even with new cartridge

My printer has suddenly stopped printing.
There are no error messages.
My ink level is full.
It slowly started "running" out of ink as I was printing.
New cartridge.
Cleaned printer heads twice.
Ran print quality report and it acted like it was printing but didn't.
Any ideas??

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Officejet 4620. Be sure to check the vents, if they are blocked the printer will appear to be running out of ink early in the cartridge life.
If the troubleshooting steps there do not resolve the issue I sould suggest you contact HP, 1-800-HPINVENt if you are in the US or see the document here for elsewhere. They may be able to help resolve the issue even if the printer is not in warranty as described in this post.

NO power on my MacbookPro: it all started with Battery of my MacBook Pro saying it was not charging (even if the pro was plugged) and it then switched off and now wont turn back on. There is no light on the magsafe and no startup noises at all.

If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, give them a call and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Is there any Bluetooth module for Satellite A100-225?

Hello
I am wondering if a bluetooth module exists for a Satellite A100-225 (PSAA9E Series). What model?
Thanks

No, unfortunately this notebook does not support the internal Bluetooth module and it cannot be upgraded with such module.
If you want to use the BT technology you will have to switch to external solution.
Buy simply an USB Bluetooth stick. Such sticks are simply to use. Just plug in the USB port and configure it.

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

This category is for iPod shuffle. Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle? If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen
