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.

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 A200-1vp 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 FIle Adapter

Hi
We r facing typical problem with file adapter.
Lets say there are 30 files to be processed by placing an copy in arichive folder by file adapter based on pooling
parameters.
All the 30 files are picked up and we can see the copies in archive folder.
But when we go to RWB and check the audit log,
there we could see only 25 files , the 5 files are missing.
no trace found therre about the 5 files.
This is happening only some times and not to all the files placed in the FTP. Later when the same file is placed back from the Archive folder to the Source folder, the file is being picked and processed succesfully.
unfortunately this is happening on Production server
Any pointers which could trouble shoot this issue.

shekar chandra

Hi,
Couple of thing which you can try....
1. Use EOIO QoS and check if you still face the issue.
Is some program or application writing files to the directory? If yes I would recommend the use of a temporary name to write the files and then rename them.
Sometimes when an external application connects via FTP and transfers the files...
The file could be picked up by the adapter poll even before the transfer of data is done.
Which is why you will find that the file is archived but there is no xml message created for the same in the Integration engine.
Try increasing the poll interval. This helps sometimes.

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.

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.

Problems with File adapter

Hi All
I am facing some problems with XI system. XI production server was restarted couple of days back. From that time, 1 file is not reaching its destination. When i go to communication channel monitoring, i see this message for all the communication channels with file adapter "No adapter registered for this channel".
But, communication channels with SOAP adapter are working fine, and the corresponding files are reaching its destinations. So, what should i do to rectify this probelm? Do we have to restart XI server onceagain? Is there anything pirticular, to be careful about, while restarting XI system?
Many Thanks in Advance
Chandra Sekhar

Hi Chandra shekar,
Plz try to do the following steps:
1)Try after restarting the Java Stack.
2)Try after SLD cache.
To clear the SLD cache, from the Integration Builder main menu, choose Environment ® Delete Cache for SLD Data.
Once we have deleted the cache for SLD data, accessing objects in the SLD may take longer than usual initially.
This will help you to find SP Level

Satellite L505D - Problem with sleep mode in Win 7

It's me again, in last thread :
"Hello Friends,
I have a great problem after Windows 7 updated itself. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L505D. When I close the lid, it should automatically go to the sleep mode. Unfortunately, only the screen is black and the laptop is still running, I have to shut it down then switch on again. Is it a problem with the 'battery driver'?Please, help me :)"
The sleep mode worked perfeclty for couple of days and it is again gone.. What is more when I try to enter the sleep mode I can't do anything on the notebook , it is still running on blank screen and the processors' fan is working on high speed. During these last days, when the sleep mode worked, windows didn't update itself..
I don't know what is happening.. :) Weird problem, isn't it?

It is not easy to say why this happen. In your last posting you wrote about some windows updates. Who knows what is wrong there.
If nothing helps, not even system restore and you want to use stand-by mode I recommend you to back-up all your data and install OS again using recovery mode.
With factory settings everything will be OK again but then be careful with updates.

Encoding problem with Application adapter for OEBS

Hello All!
We going to pass value via app adapter from EBS Forms to Content Server page. Link to documentation Configuring the Managed Attachments Solution - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
We have done all setting, and this function is working now .
It is good working with English letters and numbers, but when we try to use Cyrillic we have a problem with Encoding in Content server page.
Data on Oebs table use ''CL8ISO8859P5'', but service xml for adapter has allays a title with charset=utf-8
System are:
OEBS 12.1.3
Webcenter Content 11.1.1.6
Adapter 11.1.1.6 + patch 16463891
Could you help us?

Hi Denis ,
Try this solution :
1) Log on to the APPS EBS schema and re-create the AXF_SOAPCall function using the following SQL:
create or replace
function AXF_SOAPCall (url varchar2, soapmsg varchar2, secure varchar2, walletid varchar2, walletpass varchar2) return varchar2 as
http_req utl_http.req;
http_resp utl_http.resp;
response_env varchar2(32767);
v_newcharset VARCHAR2(40 BYTE) :='UTF8';
v_Dbcharset VARCHAR2(40 BYTE);
v_Raw1 RAW(32767);
v_Stmt1 VARCHAR2(6000 BYTE);
begin
v_newcharset := 'AMERICAN_AMERICA.'|| v_newcharset ;
v_Dbcharset := 'AMERICAN_AMERICA.'||utl_i18n.map_charset(fnd_profile.value('ICX_CLIENT_IANA_ENCODING'),0,1);
v_Raw1 := UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW (soapmsg);
v_Raw1 := UTL_RAW.CONVERT (v_Raw1,v_newcharset,v_Dbcharset);
if ( secure = 'true' or secure = 'TRUE' ) then
utl_http.set_wallet (walletid, walletpass);
end if;
http_req := utl_http.begin_request(url , 'POST', utl_http.HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml; charset=utf-8');
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Length', utl_raw.length(v_Raw1));
utl_http.write_raw(http_req, v_Raw1);
http_resp := utl_http.get_response(http_req);
utl_http.read_text(http_resp, response_env);
dbms_output.put_line('Response: ');
dbms_output.put_line(response_env);
utl_http.end_response(http_resp);
return response_env;
end;
2) Log on to the EBS and confirm that you can now open the Managed Attachments window for all records & forms, regardless of the use (& length) of multibyte string values.
This was caused by multibyte characters used with non UTF-8 language strings .
I presumed that you are seeing that when "Managed Attachments" option through the ZOOM button from an E-Business Suite (EBS) forms, nothing happens.If you have a support id then check the following note : 1409703.1 from MyOracleSupport portal.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Problems with MagSafe Adapter including sparks

When I plug my adapter into the plug socket I always see white sparks when plugging it into an extension lead. Is that normal or safe?
Also I have been having problems with the magsafe as when plugging it into my Mac Book Pro it doesn't always charge and you have to fiddle around with the wire to get it to start charging or unplug it a few times. I am also finding the magsafe bit is getting extremely hot as is the Mac Book Pro itself. Even when using it for simple web browsing. The CPU sometimes reaches 90° as well.
I have also been experiencing quite a lot of freezing / crashing / lagging on my mac book recently as well. Could this be related?
Should I take this to an apple store?

I have had a similar problem. There are a few questions you might want to answer:
1. Does your MBP have any fraying cables or wires? If so, you should replace the Magsafe power adapter as quickly as possible. This can damage your laptop, eventually.
2. Is your "Magsafe" an original unit? If it's a knock-off, this could account for electrical instability.
3. Does your Magsafe power adapter take power directly from the wall socket, or do you have multiple plugs? Sparks or heat indicate that the adapter is taking in a large amount of energy - that may not be fully grounded.
I mention these questions because I hope to spur more questions, which might eventually solve your problem. I have no idea whether the freezing and crashing is related to your problem, but it's certainly possible. I would strongly suggest writing detailed notes of the problem, and then proceed to the Apple Store.

Satellite M30X: Problems with USB 2.0 external HDD

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite M30X. I recently bought myself a 200GB External Hard Disc. It has its own Power supply. If I connect it with USB 2.0 to my Laptop it happens to diconnect and reconnect permanantly. Sometimes it works, then I can put Data on the Disc. Then again it diconnects and reconnects many times. I've already tried another USB Port, but there is no difference. It's very strange, because I connected the External Hard Disc to many other Computers (Laptop and Tower) and it ALWAYS works!!! Its only with my Laptop it disconnects and reconnects the whole time. As I said, not always. Sometimes it works for like an half an hour or so then the action starts again ...
Can somebody help???
Greez Lutz

Hi Andrea
I really dont know why this happen. A friend of mine has the same problem with his desktop. While copy process runs the HDD is suddenly disconnected and there is also acoustic sound when the hardware is removed.
I have connected his HDD on my Tecra and there is no problem. I really dont know what the problem can be. Maybe there is some problem with OS because I can not believe that there is some contact problem with USB ports.
If you use many different USB devices at the same time maybe there is some conflict between few different drivers. Sorry but it is not easy to give some precise explanation.

SDHC card does nor work on Satellite A200-1J0 with a clean Vista install

Greetings,
When I bought this notebook there was preinstalled Vista 32bit and as usual some Toshiba's drivers and software. As I remeber there was no problems with built in memory card reader, it was reading regular SD cards and also SDHC.
One day I had to reinstall operating system (without using recovery disc) and i've downloaded drivers for my notebook from official site, installed them and the card reader now it's not able to read SDHC cards. Is it just me?
This is what I installed for reader:
-Toshiba Value Added Package where is TOSHIBA Flash Cards inside of it
-Flashmedia Driver
-SD Utilities
I just want to highlight that there's no problem with reading mmc or normal sd cards.
My sdhc card is 100% working properly with other card readers.
Another sdhc card that I have is not working, it's just like I put nothing inside the reader.
Just nothing happens.
Is there anything else that I missed and this is the reason of my problem?
Any fix for Vista or something like that?

Dear Jeffrey,
My problem is solved, thank you so much! :)
This words were very helpful:
"Mostly an installation instruction is placed on the Toshiba European driver page which contains the essential installation order."
So I went on that site and found file where was written:
Contents and Installation order
for Windows Vista
INSTALL ORDER
WINDOWS VISTA
No. Component Name Version
1 Windows Vista RTM
2 Intel ICH7M Chipset Utility native
3 Intel 945GM Display Driver
or
3 nVIDIA G72MV-A3/NB7P-GS Display Driver
4 Realtek ALC861D Audio Driver
5 Realtek 10/100 8101E/ Gigabit 8111B LAN Driver
6 Synaptics Touch Pad Driver (with LuxPad)
7 ALPS Touch Pad Driver
8 TI Multiple Digital Media Card Reader
9 TOSHIBA Software Modem
10 Intel Golan Wireless LAN Driver
11 Intel Kedron Wireless LAN Driver
12 Atheros Wireless LAN Driver
13 Chicony Camera Software
14 Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba
15 Bluetooth Monitor
16 TOSHIBA Value Added Package
17 TOSHIBA Flash Cards Support Utility
18 TOSHIBA Hardware Setup Utility
19 TOSHIBA Supervisor Password
20 TOSHIBA SD Memory Utilities
21 TOSHIBA ConfigFree
22 TOSHIBA Assist
23 TOSHIBA Speech System
24 TOSHIBA Extended Tiles for Windows Mobility Center V1.01
25 TOSHIBA Fingerprint Utility V5.6.0.3221
Thanks to that file I've found that I haven't installed "TI Multiple Digital Media Card Reader". In toshiba european download site there's nothing like that so nothing weird that I didn't find that before. Here google became a good companion and helped me to find that file. I just simply installed it without deinstaling previously installed drivers (just like is NOT written in install order above) and it's working :)
Thank you once again!
Best regards,
Davit

Performance problems with File Adapter and XI freeze

Hi NetWeaver XI geeks,
We are deploying a XI based product and encounter some huge performance problems. Here after the scenario and the issues:
- NetWeaver XI 2004
- SAP 4.6c
- Outbound Channel
- No mapping used and only the iDocs Adapter is involved in the pipeline processing
- File Adapter
- message file size < 2Ko
We have zeroed down the problem to Idoc adapters performance.
We are using a file channel and every 15 seconds a file in a valid Idoc format is placed in a folder, Idoc adapter picks up the file from this folder and sends it to the SAP R/3 instance.
For few minutes (approx 5 mins) it works (the CPU usage is less then 20% even if processing time seems huge : <b>5sec/msg</b>) but after this time the application gets blocked and the CPU gets overloaded at 100% (2 processes disp_worker.exe at 50% each).
If we inject several files in the source folder at the same time or if we decrease the time gap (from 15 seconds to 10 seconds) between creation of 2 Idoc files , the process blocks after posting 2-3 docs to SAP R/3.
Could you point us some reasons that could provoke that behavior?
Basically looking for some help in improving performance of the Idoc adapter.
Thanks in advance for your help and regards,
Adalbert

Hi Bhavesh,
Thanks for your suggestions. We will test...
We wonder if the hardware is not the problem of this extremely poor performance.
Our XI server is:
     Windows 2003 Server
     Processors: 2x3GHZ
     RAM: 4GB (the memory do not soak)
The messages are well formed iDocs = single line INVOICES.
Some posts are talking 2000 messages processed in some seconds... whereas we got 5 sec per message.
Tnanks for your help.
Adalbert
