Satellite A30-161 won't work when battery is installed

Hi
I have a problem with my Satellite A30-161. The laptop operates perfectly without the battery installed. With the battery installed and the AC adaptor connected the power and battery light (orange) are lit.
When powering on, as soon as WXP loaded the battery light goes out and the laptop switches off. With battery only the laptop will not start. There is no dirt on the heatsink and there does not appear to be a problem with the DC connector as power light always on.
Any ideas?

Hi
For this behavior is not easy to give any precise diagnostic but according your description I presume there is some problem with power supply electronic. Just using special diagnostic tool it is possible to check if there is some serious problem.
To be honest, I do not believe you can do anything alone. Only thing you can try is to test it with brand new battery. Maybe you should contact authorized service in your country. talk with them and you will see what they say.

    My nano won't work when it is not connected to a computer.  It won't even reset.  If I pull it into my computer it will work and it shows that the battery is full.  What might be the problem?

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

    Presumably you are connecting it from the *Dock Connector.* In this case, the controls on the car stereo should be controlling the iPod and the iPod's controls are disabled.
    If you are using the car's connection interface, consult the car manual to find out how to control the iPod. If you are using an adaptor between the iPod and car, ask the adaptors installer or manufacturer.

  • Installed Windows 7 on bootcamp but now my wireless mouse won't work when in windows. What can I do?

    Installed Windows 7 on bootcamp but now my wireless mouse won't work when in windows. What can I do?

    assuming it is an optical mouse (no ball etc.) then there aren't any moving parts involve in the motion detection
    so there's a faulty component or connection
    from what you describe it could be just a loose/broken connection, so if you know someone familiar with electronics see if they can open it up and have a look

  • Movies won't work when a DVD is inserted ?

    Movies won't work when a DVD is inserted.  What do I do to watch a movie ?

    Just one DVD or all of them?
    Some DVD's just need a gentile cloth and rubbing alcohol wipe on the bottom to rid of fingerprints etc.
    If your using out of region code DVD's (each area of the world has regions codes assigned to the computer and disks) then that needs to be changed.
    This can happen if you buy a Mac used from another part of the world or use DVD's from another region.

  • Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion.  Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

    Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion.  Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

    this has been an issue with Quicken for a long time! Quicken was initially a Mac only application and then they got greedy! i beta-tested Quicken for Intuit for years and when they announced they were not going to support it any more the screaming was loud but not heard!
    Quicken Essentials is a crime! i wasn't even asked to beta-test it; probably because they would have gotten an earful!!! it is not essential; it is stupid.... AND, of course, their online version was a disaster. i use Quickbooks Online for business and it works like a charm; i mean it even downloads ignominious PayPal transactions now!
    i am also stupid for not really checking out if it would work with Lion - ALL of my financials are on it. I am going to have to do what @cwiens suggested above and either pull out an old Macbook I have or my well stored original Cube in its original box! thank the fates for the double backup i've always done with Quicken - Time Machine & its own key drive!
    btw, this is an old Microsoft trick - not having older versions of apps work on OS updates so they force you to buy the new versions.

  • Satellite L850-161 won't boot from recovery disk

    When I got the laptop in 2012 I created 4 recovery disks but since then i've had my HDD replaced in my SATELLITE L850-161 but it has the recovery partition with nothing in it and the laptop won't boot from disk either so I can't format it but really need to, any suggestions??

    If you have 4 recovery discs be sure you start installation with disc number 1. After HDD exchange you should be able to use created recovery discs for recovery image installation.
    Does some other bootable disc starts properly?
    To be honest I dont understand how new HDDD can contain recovery partition that will be created if recovery image installation works.
    Problem is that in such situation you dont have many options. In worst case you can order original recovery disc for your machine.

  • IPod won't work when iTrip is connect to car charger

    Any ideas?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem that indicates a hadware problem, likely a bad battery. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Hyperlinks won't work when copied from h to v layout

    hi there, just created a dps folio with lots of hyperlinks (InDesign CS6 everything updated to the latest version).
    First in the h version I put a rectangle above the piece of content I wish to be clickable, choose 'hyperlinks' and put the link in it then inside the folio overlays I make sure 'open in folio' is selected. Second I copied the rectangle to the v version of the layout, resize it so it's covering the right content. Inside the hyperlinks panel I'll find the links, sometimes when the rectangle is selected the link shows up darkened, but most of the time when I select the copied rectangle nothing changes inside the hyperlinks-links panel. In that case I selected the rectangle and clicked again on the hyperlink so I think it's 'bind' again.
    Testing the folio on the iPad everything works fine in the horizontal version, but when i try the vertical pages not 1 link is working.
    When re-ensure the hyperlinks are present in the v version, I noticed that clicking on the rectangles some of them do not highlight any hyperlink but others do and none of both work on the iPad. Strange is also when I click a rectangle who does not highlight any hyperlink and I then select (apply??) the hyperlink inside the hyperlinks panel to 'bind' both together the document would not let me save the document as if there's nothing changed on it..
    Is this a bug or what am I doing wrong?
    any hints and tips welcome ;-)
    I've just deleted the hyperlinks overlays and tried with buttons overlay and 'go to url'. That seems to works on both direction.

    Thanks for the prompt reply.
    I do not manage the group policy and I'll have it checked. One question though, if it is the policy then would it not affect Excel 2003 as well. When I use Excel 2003, I see buttons in toolbar, using which I convert excel file to pdf and first thing it does is scans for various things ( Hyperlinks is one of them ).
    When I tried with excel 2007,  I can convert excel file to PDF by selecting print option and selecting Adobe there. It converts the file but the hyper links won't work.
    One thing I noticed that using the pdf conversion buttons in toolbar in excel will convert hyperlinks too.
    My problem here is that I do not see Adobe Acrobat converstion buttons in Excel 2007.

  • 5th G iPod won't work when hooked up

    My new iPod will charge on my laptop - it shows up on the desktop as well as in iTunes - but it won't work while it's charging from the computer.
    I know the battery isn't completely down. Is there some setting I need to change so I can charge AND watch videos at the same time?
    Thanks

    Click the eject symbol (underlined arrow) next to the iPod in the iTunes source list. The iPod should return to its main menu, but the battery meter should have a lightning bolt in it.

  • Using Time Capsule with Windows 7. Won't work when modem connected directly to Time Capsule, must be connected through another router.

    Apple Time Capsule working with Windows 7 PC will not work when modem is connected directly to the Time Capsule.  Only when a Cisco Linksystem is connnected inbetween the modem and the Time Capsule.

    Sorry but it needs much more specific info than this..
    What modem? Is it cable or adsl or some other?? Is it pure modem or broadband router included?
    Cable has specific issues different to adsl.
    If you used to use the Cisco/linksys router.. and have not reset the cable modem it will not work. Turn off the cable modem.. it must be powered down.. if battery backup drop out the battery. Remove the coax cable.. get it off. Power down everything else in the network.
    Plug in the modem to the TC wan port.
    Power up the modem.. wait 2min
    Power up the TC.. wait 2min
    Power up the clients.
    If it has worked you will now be able to open the airport utility on the windows computer and see the TC has a public ip on the WAN port. If not redo the whole thing but leave the modem off.. 15min.. 1 hour.. 1 day.. ring the cable company and ask them to reset. Usually a few minutes is enough.
    If you have a modem with combined router.. then bridge the TC. Just google search it.
    For other combos.. tell us specifics..
