Satellite A200 won't shut down when power supply is connected

The Satellite A200 just shuts down, if the power cable is disconnected before shutting down. Otherwise the notebook shuts down and restarts immediately (max 5 seconds between shut down and restart).
Does anybody got the same strange problem?

Hi Thomas
You should definitely contact the ASP in your country. Maybe its something wrong with the power supply electronic on the notebooks motherboard.
As John said the replacement should be done for free because the A200 is a new series and the warranty should be valid.
Good luck

Satellite L40 won't shut down with power connected, and won't go in standby

Hi everybody. I hope someone can help me. Basically, there are two problems: one with shutting the laptop (Satellite L40-17U (Vista 32-bit Home Premium SP1) ) down when the power is connected, and one with closing the lid and putting it to sleep.
1. Since a few weeks, it suddenly doesn't want to shut down, whenever the power is connected. When it is on battery, it will shut down. When the power is connected and I try shutting it down, it seems like it shuts down (all activity ceases and the LEDs go off) for about 1 or 2 seconds, and then it goes back on.
2. When I close the lid (all settings in Vista are set to put the laptop in 'sleep' status when the lid is closed) the laptop goes into a state from which it can only be recovered by shutting it down by pressing the on/off button for about 10 seconds to completely shut it down. When closing the lid, only the battery LED keeps blinking orange (the way it should be), but apparently the laptop keeps consuming power, because when I reboot it later (first having to shut it down as described above) the battery tends to be quite a emptier than it was before rebooting it (like going from 100% to 65% in 30 minutes, while being in 'sleep' state). Also, when I open the lid, the other LEDs do go on again (green), but nothing happens.
After rebooting by first pressing the on/off button for 10 seconds to shut it down, I frequently get a message that Windows could not be started, and have to run System Repair.
I've just done a completely clean installation with the product recovery CD (didn't install SP1 yet), upgraded the BIOS to v1.90, but the problem remains.
I'm afraid my only option will be to bring it away for a warranty repair, but knowing that these repairs can take weeks, I'd prefer to try a solution anyone here could recommend me first. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
Daniel Breslauer

Hi guys
Never had such issue on my notebook but regarding to another users here in the forum the BIOS might help to solve such strange notebook behavior
To be honest the shut down issue is not known to me I noticed an standby issue on my notebook but the BIOS update helped.
Therefore I recommend updating the BIOS firstly.
If the issue will still appear, then the ASP should take a look into the notebook.
Good luck

MBP Shuts Down when Power cord is removed

My MBP almost instantly shuts down when the power cord is unplugged. The battery has been fully charged; I've tried restarting the laptop, holding down the power button for 10 seconds, and resetting the SMC.
What is going on??

I'm having the very same problem, and unless I find something on the discussions, I'm taking it into the Apple store as soon as possible.
This is my third battery, and each one seems to have a lifetime of about three months. This situation is different, though. The first one was bulging and shutting down when the battery was below 25% charged and the max battery capacity was dropping sharply. The second one was part of the exchange program, but I noticed it was starting to bulge and the max capacity was starting to drop (below ~60%).
This time, the max capacity is around 75% and I first noticed that it would shut down from sleep sporadically when on battery power. Then today, when I opened it, it shut down immediately. The battery was ~90% charged, but it wouldn't start up without the AC adapter. Now every time I unplug the adapter, the computer shuts down within 3 seconds. I also reset the SMC, which I think is the same process as resetting the PMU, perhaps they are equivalent terms or analogous devices, but the problem persists. There is no way to calibrate the battery since the computer won't run off it.
Unless there is something else to try, I recommend anyone with these problems should ask for a replacement battery.

MacBook won't start on battery/shuts down when power adapter is removed

Help & advice needed please.
My MacBook won't start without external power, it gives a whir then a click then nothing. Once started up, if I remove the external power it just shuts off.
The battery shows at 98% & charging. Coconut Battery shows the following:
Current battery charge 4126 (& increasing as I type)
Maximum battery charge 4200
Current battery capacity 4200
Original battery capacity 5200
80%
Battery loadcycles 111
Age of your Mac 6 months
Charger connected yes
Battery is charging yes
Does anyone have a clue why the Mac won't power itself on the battery when everything else seems like it works?
Cheers!

As of today, my MacBook and I have been together for 40 days. Yesterday, while I was happily surfing (on battery), it powered down with no warning. Okay, these things happen. I plugged it in, restarted, and all seemed to be fine. Battery was about 70%. I did other things on my other machines and when it was about 90%, unplugged it and everything was good. This morning after using it unplugged for 1.5 hours it did the same thing, but decided to only work with the power adapter, not on battery alone. When trying to boot without AC, it would try to spin the CD and then fall back into off. When on AC, if I pulled the adapter, it would last two seconds and go blank. I made an appt. with the Apple store (Fashion Show Mall, Las Vegas) for 3:20pm. I got there right at 3:20pm and the monitors showed I was 5th in line. Store was fairly packed, at least one patron at every display item. Monitors also said the next MacGenius appt. was "approx. 8:30pm." Glad I made an appt! I was served about 15 min. later, during which time the monitors had changed to "No more MacGenius appts. available today, please try tomorrow." However, one guy came by without an appt. and was told he would be put on standby and to come back in 30 min.
Once I explained my issue with my MacBook battery, my Genius tried one of his batteries. "I just want to make sure it's your battery and not your motherboard." My machine worked fine, so he said "No problem, I'll have you out of here in 10 minutes." He got me a brand new battery, tested it, and put my old one in a box on the rear counter with four others. He pulled the serial number from the "About this Mac" area, didn't need my receipt for purchase date or anything. I had even printed this page: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/ to use as ammunition, but didn't need it. He did approve highly of my dashboard widget "iStat pro", available here: http://islayer.com/.
So the battery issue is a very common problem, and one that Apple has tried to deal with as painlessly as possible for the consumer. My Genius did ask if the battery showed an "X" in the icon bar, and I said no. Just wouldn't run on battery. On the way out of the store, one of the 3 MacBooks, in fact the one closest to the door, had an "X" on the battery icon. When I unplugged the power, it shut down immediately! The moral of the story is to contact Apple immediately with problems and give them a chance to fix them. Hope this helps others.

Powerbook shuts down when power adaptor isn't plugged

I bought my powerbook G4 about 3 years ago and I've been having alot of problem with it in the past few months (yeah I know it's old lol).
When I first got it my friend told me not to use the battery while I'm working with the laptop, instead use the power adapter by removing the battery from the laptop and use the adapter instead. I tried to do that, and it didn't work.
Even now when I tried to remove the battery and just use the adapter, it's just doesn't want to start up.
I also got this problem whenever I'm using my laptop I always have to have the adapter plugged in or else it will shut down without any warning.
I checked the battery level with the button on the battery cover, it's always on 100% charged. BUT it won't turn up unless I plug the adapter in back.
I can't afford a new macbook pro so yeah =(
thank you!

There is another battery involved: the backup battery or PRAM battery. It resides to the right and under the optical drive (see image from iFixit.com guide) and remembers startup configurations when there is no AC or main battery power connected.
My PB's backup battery is dead and, If I let the main battery run down, I have to reset the computer to get a valid restart even after reattaching the AC power adaptor. If the backup battery is dead, then what little life is left in your main battery will be doing the work to hold the system parameters when you are off AC power.
The backup battery looks like this:

It's a difficult install unless you are familiar with the inner workings of the Powerbook and how to get to them. It's also hard to find these that are new. And who wants a "Used" battery.

Ibook G3 shuts down when power cord is inserted.

I have a 800mhz G3 12" and when I plug in the power adapter when it is running it immediately shuts down and will not bootup until I unplug the power adapter. I have tried two diffent adapters with the same results.
G3 ibook 256 ram 12" Display Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You may have to consider having the computer checked to see if
the DC-in circuit is working properly; could be that is where things
are going wrong. If you had a spare battery and an external
charger (such as some companies offer for their iBook replace-
ment batteries) you could run it for some time before needing to
do some repair, maybe.
For out of warranty repairs, you can check with Tech Restore, PB Restore
and other named companies who offer authorized/certified repairs online. I
had good service and was able to contact wegenermedia about my iBook
repairs before and after the service, which was very satisfactory.
PS: And one assumes there was a reliable power supply on the
AC adapter's power-in; and the adapter has a proper voltage out.

Why has my iBook started to completely shuts down when power runs out?

I purchased my iBook G4 in early 2006 (OSX 10.4.11)
Until last week, I would regularly use my laptop until the battery charge was used up. I would get a low charge warning and it would automatically sleep. I could then plug it in to charge. When it was plugged in, I could touch the track pad or power button and all of the programs that were open when the power ran out would be there, just as I left them.
This has recently changed. Now when the power runs out, I receive the same low charge message, but instead of sleeping, my computer completely shuts down. When I press the power button to reboot, everything starts back up fine, but I get a message that my date and time are off and need to be reset. I then go to the Date and Time menu, which automatically updates through my wireless connection.
My questions are:
1. Why is it shutting down instead of sleeping?
2. Why is my date and time reseting to an incorrect date and time?

The difference is that in the past, your battery shut the computer down when their was enough juice to safely sleep the machine. Now it thinks it has enough juice, but it's truly running out. The battery is necessary to maintain the date and time in the computer.
Your battery needs to be calibrated. You should follow the instructions at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1959.html
This will allow the battery to truly know how much juice it has left.

Satellite laptop won't shut down

Any time I try to turn my computer off it won't do it. It will say it's shutting down, but it just sits there with that message. I have to turn off the unit and turn it back on to restart it.

whenever I choose to shut down, the computer goes to the shut down screen then just stays there.

T410i shuts down when power unplugged

My T410i battery indicator shows 96%+, but if I unplug the power supply it will shut down within 4 seconds, and will not power back on unless I unplug the battery for a few seconds first. In addition, the fingerprint reader stopped working at all.
I ran the Lenovo hardware diagnostics, which gave the computer a clean bill of health.
For about a week after this phenomena began I had no issues as long as I did not unplug power while the computer was on. Today it turned off for no apparent reason while I was away from the computer and will not power on no matter what I do.
Any suggested course of action??

got warranty still?

Macbook Air Shutting down when power is removed

Helping my friend troubleshoot his Macbook Air, purchased summer 2014. He said it was a pain to get it to turn on, and I advised him against taking it to our university's help desk (If you can really call it even that).
I have reset the NVRAM, PRAM, and SMC. I did an Apple Diagnostics Test three times, twice plugged in and once unplugged. Got ADP000 when plugged in and PPP007 when running on battery.
When plugged in it does not shut down, however when unplugged it'll stay on 10-20 seconds before crashing. The first time I did the diagnostic test it shutdown before the test could be completed, the second time however was the longest it had stayed on before crashing maybe 30-40 seconds before I restarted to test while plugged in.
I believe they only option left is to take it to an Apple Store, we are both from an area with an Apple store that is close however it is currently about 2-3 hours away from our campus.
On a side note, I think there was some sort of malware/adware on it. The homepage in chrome and safari just didn't look right so I changed them to Google, and it got changed back to the odd looking one. The url said something like search.searchbenny - He also had kaspersky internet security installed, but it was expired or something. I don't think this could be causing the issue but I thought it was worth mentioning.

If you click on the Apple menu's, "About This Mac," and then click on "System Report....," it will give a battery condition report. Best guess, as stated by Kappy, is that the battery needs to be replaced.
If he bought in the summer of 2014, it should still be under warranty.

Satellite A200-220(PSAE3E) shuts down unnexpectedly

My laptop shuts down unnexpectedly without even reaching the session menu.
I have upgraded form Vista Home Edition to a Windows 7 Professional Edition, and my laptop keeps crashing... I went to the toshiba technical help and the said they couldn't help me, but I refuse to beleave that a 1 and a half year old pc doesn't support Windows 7.
If anyone can help me with this I would be very grateful

When you visit technicians they have notebook on the desk and can see what is wrong there.
In this virtual world we can just discus about some issues and try to offer some opinion or discuss about possible causes.
I would like to know why they think it cannot be solved. What was their explanation?
Please start your notebook and enter BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and let us know if the same will happen again.

G5 shuts down when Portable external drive connected to Fire wire port

Hi, I hope somebody can help me. I have a 100G lacie portable external HD that I use to back up my files regularly. It worked until today, I plug it in, I was able to save some files, and then the computer shut down. I restarted it and it did the same thing. Black screen. nothing. I have another External HD with its own power supply connected to the same computer and that one works. I tried plugging the Portable HD to the back of the one with Power supply and it shut down as well. Then I plugged it in the back of my 19" LCD, same thing. So I though that the portable HD was bad, I went and bought another drive, a verbatim, and same thing happen. I then plugged my lacie drive to another computer, a G4, and it works which leads me to think that the problem is in the G5, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thought this may be the issue, problem is the USB3.0 connector is 2 micro USB side by side in a single plastic moulding, have searched for separate USB cables but cannot find them.

Why does my computer shut down when i try to connect to the internet?

I have recently found that when i'm trying to connect to the internet, a box is appearing something like This device does not exist, please check your settings and try again. My settings are fine, my wires are connected and i cant find any reason why the connection wouldn't work. I have shut down my computer and this hasn't helped when i have restarted it and now, the screen has gone dark with an scary box saying the computer has to restart itself. No reason is given (or at least i can't remember if there was a reason). My computer is going a bit slower now and is making a noise like an application is opening or the computer is doing something.
Can anyone help???? I have only had my i baby for a few months. I do download stuff all the time and i have been known to leave my internet connection on for a day at a time. Could this have caused the problem?

Close all apps in the multi-task window and try again.
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen.

IMac won't shut down after using Time Machine

Here is the thing: My iMac (late 2009, 24", 8 GB RAM) won't shut down when I use my external HD for Time Machine. After the back up I try to eject the external HD but the icon won't disappear on the screen, it only gets blank and is not clickable anymore. It is still visible in the menu of the Finder but with no ejection sign anymore. Programs that were open before won't close even if I use the forced shut down function. But it seems like they are closed as they don't appear on the list anymore. When I then try to shut down the whole system the screen goes black and the wheel turns for hours! So that I finally have to shut it down manually.
This happens only after using the external HD for the back ups and when I then try to eject it. If I don't eject it everything goes normal. If I don't connect it everything goes normal. Sure, you might say, hey leave it plugged in then. But as it is a 3 TB HD I also use it for my MBP so I have to eject it
Is this a known issue or a bug in the system of Yosemite? With Mavericks everything worked really well - no problems at all. On the MBP (late 2011, i7, 8 GB RAM) it also works well. So I am kind of annoyed the I always have to shut the iMac down manually which can't be that healthy for the system.
Any insights on that issue are highly appreciated - thanks a lot!
Birgit

Okay, just realized that the same problem occurs with the MBP after rejecting the external HD
Icon gets blank, cannot be clicked anymore, while shutting down the MBP normally the screen goes black and the wheel is turning forever but nothing else happens. So I have to force it to shut down.
It seems to be a general problem with connecting an external HD once in a while for doing a time machine back up regularly and then eject it. So the question is: who has the same problem or does everybody have their HD permanently connected to their Macs for Back ups? Either by USB or WLAN? It never was a problem wit Mavericks and I don't want to permanently back up my system every hour - once a week is good for me BUT this cannot be adjusted in the time machine settings which would be a very good idea.
Any solution is still highly appreciated !!
Thanks a lot,
Birgit
