Satellite A100 does not power up

Hello,
I had to replace the keyboard in my A100 but now after putting the laptop together I am unable to turn it on. When I press the power button nothing happens, no sound is heard. When plugged into AC the LED lights are on for AC (blue) and for the battery (orange).
Unplugged all LED lights are off. I tried removing the battery for a while, as someone suggested in these forums, but that didn't help. I suspect the power button has a loose contact somewhere. The cable that connects the power button to the motherboard is in its place so that shouldn't be the root cause. Is there another way to power it up? What should I do?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi there,
as you have said you have replaced your keyboard recently. This may be the fact your keyboard/power on button is not working.
Please check that you have in fact put the keyboard back properly. If the keyboard is still not the issue and the computer fails to power on, i would suggest taking your computer to an authorised Toshiba service location to avoid further damaging your laptop.
I hope this helps

Satellite M50 does not power up

Hi,
My Satellite M50 notebook does not power up. The laptop itself has been working fine, but I cannot use it as the battery has drained. I have checked the AC cable and this seems ok. Does the notebook have an internal fuse which I should check? If not, what should I do?
Thanks.

Hello
If I understand you well you cannot use notebook with AC power supply only. Am I right about this?
The switching between AC or battery power supply, do the boards power supply electronic and there is no some kind of switch that you can check.
When you connect your notebook to AC power supply is the power LED ON?

My Satellite A100 does not support SDHC cards with the internal card reader

Hi,
My satelite A100 does not support my sandisk 4 GB SDHC card.
"normal" SD cards are not a problem with the internal card reader, and there are no problems with the sandisk 4 GB SDHC card using a external card reader.
is there a software solution?
regrads,
Itock

I do not have time to read users manuals for your notebook model but all supported cards can be listed there. I suppose SDHC is not listed and not supported.
I do not know what you mean with software solution but, as far as I know, update for multimedia card reader is not available.

Satellite A100 does not "really" shut down

Hey everybody!
I have a Satellite A100 here and the problem is ... yeah, it does not really shut down. I can choose "Shut Down" in Windows and Windows shuts down, the monitor turns black and the notebook does not work anymore, but it does not turn off itself. The blue lights are still glowing. To switch off the system I have to push the on-off-switch for a few seconds.
The problem occured three days ago. I don't think it's a virus (someone on the net assumed that), because the system has no connection to the internet and has'nt seen any usb-stick or whatever for at least half a year. The user told me he changed the energy-options from "Toshiba Power Saver" to "Desktop". Of course I changed it back, but this did'nt solve the problem. I also did'nt find anything helpful in the options. Anyone out there who knows the problem or knows what to do? :-)
Greetins,
coincidence

Unfortunately, I can't. I choose "Shut down" in safe-mode and the operating system does a simple reboot. The notebook does not turn off at all.
Thanks so far. :) Merry Christmas!

Satellite A100 does not recognize new CD/DVD drive

I purchased a new CD/DVD drive for my four year old Toshiba Satellite A-100 as the old one went crazy and did not want to work.
Unfortunately I bought a Toshiba Portege A100 DVD/ CD-RW Combo Drive which is not exactly what I had before hopping that it will work anyway.
Unfortunately I got surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all :/..
It seems to work and the light is flashing so I believe that it is not broken.
I just plugged it in as that's the way I was told to do it.
Do I have to download drivers to make it run?
Will it work on my laptop or is it a "newer" CD drive which will not cooperate with my laptop?
I would appreciate any help. Thx

Hi
I think I agree with Jimi. For me it sounds like that your CD/DVD drive isnt compatible with the notebook. Note: Not all drives are compatible to all notebooks.
Normally the best option would be if you check the user manual before you buy a CD/DVD drive. On the first pages you can find a list of compatibles drives they were pretested from Toshiba in this notebook. So these drives should definitively work.
Alternative you can contact the ASP as Jimi said. They also sell compatible drives.
And by the way, here you can search for the nearest ASP:

Satellite 1130 does not power up correctly

Recently my Toshiba Satellite 1130 Laptop is playing up...
It will not boot up fully and after many many attempts at rebooting finally got it to boot to xp only to have it shut itself down again.
Pressing and holing the powr on button for a few seconds starts up the laptop but how far it gets into the boot up sequence varies (only twice has it booted to Xp then shut down again)
I have tried with just Battery, Just AC, Ac & Battery.
The problem is recent and nothing has happened to the laptop to cause a problem ...
Can anyone help?

> Recently my Toshiba Satellite 1130 Laptop is playing up... It will not boot up fully and after many attempts at rebooting finally got it to boot to xp only to have it shut itself down again.
You mean the notebook shuts down automatically without any warnings?
Hmm the notebook is an oldie and your descriptions sounds like an overheating issue
In many cases the notebooks shut down because the internal temperature is too high.
The reasons could be different but mostly the ventilators and cooling grilles are clogged and dust prevents the fans from properly working.
I think that you could try to clean the ventilators using a compressed air spray.
You could buy such spray from different computer dealers
Then clean the ventilators and check if the issue would still persist.

Satellite A100 does not work anymore

Hi,
I bought a broken laptop and when I boot it up, I get very little:
all i get is 2 blue lights and a couple of red ones above the keyboars for around 1 tenth of a second.
I was thinking of resetting the bios.
I disassembled it and could not feel any heat going to processor but the board must work as the wireless card switch lights up along with start key but no fans or nothing else.
please help

First of all, I wonder why you bought a broken machine when youre not able to fix it.
If youre not a technician then sell the machine and buy a working one because no one here would exactly could tell you what to do or how to fix it.
The only posts would be like: "send the machine to an service partner" or "change the mainboard" or "sell the machine" , "throw the machine into trash"
I would assume that the mainboard is defective and needs to be replaced. I already replaced some mainboards on toshibas and its not that easy like some people think. You need some experience and often its not only the mainboard which is faulty, sometimes there is more then you assume.
I hope you get it fixed. Good luck.

Satellite Pro 440 CDT does not power up

Hi, I have an old 440 CDT which does not power up. Anyone any ideas???
AC is connected, power light is on, green. Battery is dead (as in buried). When I press the power button, the following happens:
- On light is green
- Num lock key (the one with the "A" on it) flashes 3 times: long-short-short
- HDD light flashes on 1 time, green
- CD light flashes on 1 time, orange
- Popping sound in the speakers
Then it turns off again, with the power light burning green constantly.
Nothing happens on the display (tried FN F5). I also switched CD/floppy, attached both, with or without battery, no help.
I am puzzled, please help!
thx, Eric

Hello Eric
Like you know, on this way it is not possible to give any precise diagnostic, just speculate what the problem can be. In my opinion it is definitely because of defective electronic on board but what exactly it is not easy to say. Try to contact someone who has experience with notebook repair procedure.

8800 does not power on but shows the charging symbol! HELP!

Hello everyone,
I have been searching for days now across the web for a solution to a very bugging situation. A'las i am close to giving up. someone please try and help. So here is the problem: I recently bought a 8800 rim (branded for cingular/AT&T but UNLOCKED) from ebay powerseller with 100% rep. it was advertised in MINt condition.
It arrived two days later and seemed in great physical condition.
So i plug in the charger and let it charge for more than 8 hours. I try turning it on but to no avail. During the charge the screen goes dimly on and shows a battery with an electric bolt going through (I assume that means charging..).
It initially seemed to me as a battery problem. So i took it to a local store and borrowed one of their batteries for 8800 and the phone started working fine also made a call with my temporary T-mobile sim inserted. (although their battery was also on low charge)---
So i come home and with a new OEM 8800 battery. plugged it in and charged for like 4 hours and the screen goes on with the charging symbol but does not power on.
I have repeatedly searched through the WWW and came across wide variety of dilemmas but none were any helpful. I also tried installing the latest OS...which also spectacularly failed [got an error that ...loading failed during the mult-load seesion...or something like that. I followed several very well written guides [advising that the manager and OS be installed on PC and etc.].
SO I MAKE A DESPERATE REQUEST FOR HELP FROM ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP. WHAT'S THE DIAGNOSIS WITH THIS BB. IT WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH THE BORROWED BATTERY FROM A LOCAL STORE..EVEN MADE A CALL AND EVERYTHING...BUT WITH THE BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE eBay PURCHASE AND THE THE BRAND NEW THAT I BOUGHT....IT DOES NOT POWER ON.
BESIDES HOW LONG SHOULD I BE CHARGING IF IT IS NEW OR IF THE PHONE HAS NOT BEEN IN USE FROM SOME TIME??
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Please help ASAP.

How are you charging the BlackBerry? Do you have a wall charger or are you charging via USB cable from your PC? Its also possible that the charging circut in your BlackBerry is faulty. This would explain why a charged battery works while your uncharged battery is not.

Time to replace it: $49 2nd Gen shuffle at online Apple Store...

I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly. I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired. I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day.

I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly. I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired (errors were associated with boot drive) I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it. Allen's already recommended an Apple repair station visit. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you might be eligible for an onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine (depends on where you're located). BTW, the AppleCare Protection Plan's the best warranty policy available for desktop machines. Get it if you don't have it before contacting Apple.

Screen/Computer does not Power Up when life the Display from being Closed

Sometimes (not always), when i come back to my MacBook Pro and open the display after it has been closed for a bit, the screen and computer does not power back up or anything. If you look at the screen there is a very FAINT image on the screen of whatever was open when the screen was closed, but you can't do anything, nothing is responsive, etc. I have to hold down the power button until it turns off, and then right before it turns off the screen will power up for one second and then shuts off. Any ideas?

I am having a similar issue when transitioning from my external display via the Mini Display to DVI adapter back to the internal LCD. The screen will go black, the machine will not sleep if I close the lid, and none of they key commands appear to work. The only response I can get is the caps lock key will turn off and on. When I restart the machine, I get no details on a Kernel Panic, or anything else, so wondering if it has something to do with the video drivers.

HT4061 HOW CAN I GET MY SERIAL NUMBER WHEN MY PHONE DOES NOT POWER ON

ERROR 4005
ALWAYS MAJOR TROUBLES WITH YOUR #@#@#@ UPDATE....
Since I have done the update for IOS 7.1 my iphone 5S does not power on anylonger or more exactly remains stucked on the apple logo until there is battery...
I am in europe right now and for 10 more days and I do not have phone anylonger.....
I have tried to reset, restore.... connect on Itunes....
Once the IPhone 5S is powering on by pressing both general button and the power switch more than 5 sec,
It says please connect this iphone to Itunes for being restored,
Once the procedure completed, extracted, loaded etc,
then the iphone is shutting down for restarting,
On itunes it says looking for iphone.... and you wait you wait you wait,
the iphone is stucked on the apple logo and ?
Nothing for then having a pop up saying "the iphone "iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (4005)
Of course I cannot provide the serial # because my telephone DO NOT WORK !
Nothing. so frustrating.
The connection is made with apple chords and connected to my last macbookair... nothing strange.

Not sure why you need the serial # if you phone is locked.
Plug it into iTunes, and you can get the serial #, and also unlock your phone.

Nomad Zen Xtra does not power

I have just recieved my Zen Xtra today. But when I power it on, per the manuals proper instruction, it does not power on. I have also tried to charge the battery with the mp3 player both on & off. When I had it on the "using AC outlet" icon would show. It does seem I need a new battery. But I fear something else, could the charging mechanism be dead? This player is a refurbished product by the way. It works on the AC outlet, I can transfer files to it, and I can successfully connect it to the USB port. the hard dri've sounds fine. It seems I need to buy a new battery right? Where else besides Creative.com can I buy one? Thanks.

First, read/try the advice here
Failing that, I would suggest buying a replacement battery. Check froogle.com (that link is set to the best deals) for a good price.

T61p 14.1" Does not power up

My 14.1" T61p Type: 8891-CTO laptop does not power up.
After my last successful use, it was sitting idle for 2-3 days with battery & AC adapter connected. When I turned it on nothing came up, no battery charging light or display. I do not have mini/advanced dock.
So far I've tried the followings:
1.) Removed Battery & switched on with AC adapter (with & without circuit breaker)
2.) Removed AC adapter & switched on with Battery
3.) Removed HDD, RAM, DVD Drive one at a time & again used step 1 & 2 with no luck.
I bought it new in Dec'07 & still under warranty. I have never used Lenovo support before but from what I've read, their on-phone support sucks.
a.) Have you faced similar problem or know the solution?
b.) Does Lenovo have any local repair center in NJ or NC where I can physically carry the machine & get it fixed?
c.) What will be the fastest/sure-shot way of getting it fixed?
Thank you!
Warm regards,
Hitesh

Ok! It's fixed! I disconnected AC, removed the battery. Then, I took out / reinserted the MEMORY CARDS. As soon as I plugged in the AC, VIOLA! Indicator lights were on. I replaced the battery. I powered up the pc -- battery showed only 2% juice. Moral of the story: if you leave the pc in hibernate (prolly sleep mode too) for an extended period without plugging in, the battery will lose juice and the pc memory will remain in the previous mode, unable to register when AC is available. Not ideal, but what I think that's what it is. OR - someone else suggested that the PC needed a longer time to recharge after wasting all the battery juice -- and that I should've been more patient. But, the PC had been on the AC for 2 hours and no indicator lights were on, which made seemed to indicate that the PC was unable to register that it was attached to the AC power. I needed to get some work done, so I was ready to try anything. When in doubt, take the mem cards out. And reset them.
Sayonara!
