Satellite A350D-203: How To Determine if Motherboard is Dead

My partner has had her Satellite for just over 2 years original Vista operating system & it has just died.
Symptoms are that when power button is pressed the button lights up & a click is heard which suggests that HD is attempting to boot/spin up but then no further sounds ... cooling fan does not start ... nothing displayed at all.
The power button can be switched off by pressing & holding it which suggests that unit must be monitoring ...
My partner recalls that prior to unit finally failing it used to get hot & shut itself down [again suggesting that overheat detection & shut down was functioning].
I don't believe the HD is faulty since a friend of my partner was able to back up data onto disks for her.
Can anyone suggest a logical process to follow?
If it subsequently transpires that the Motherboard is faulty, has anyone any experience of any basic visual examination/tasks that can be carried out ... i.e. re-soldering of known 'weak spots'/recognised component failures?
My apologies for asking such basic questions but the net is awash with 'experts' & conflicting information suggesting a range of faults from BIOS .... Motherboard.
PS: Although I am no PC expert I hold a degree in Electronic Engineering & am simply seeking some logical & credible advice before shelling out on a replacement Motherboard.

This does not mean that HDD is faulty.
If HDD would be faulty, you should see the Toshiba Splash Screen following by the message like PXE error or something like Bootmgr is missing, etc
But you should definitely see something on the screen
If this is not the case, an motherboard or an part on the motherboard like memory modules might be faulty.
You could try to test the notebook using new tested RAM modules but I think the best for you would be a short trip to an technician downtown who could run some hardware tests.

How to tell if Firewire 400 or 800? In any OS and this laptop: Toshiba Satellite A350D - BA3.

Hello.
I was wondering how someone can tell the difference between Firewire 400 and 800 in their computer and in this model of Toshiba laptop: Toshiba Satellite A350D - BA3?
If a person looked in device manager or something would it say? With Usb it says Enhanced when it is usb2 compared to usb1. I don't know what usb3 says, I don't have it.
With firewire there is large sizes and small. On my laptop it is a mini firewire and it looks like a 4-pin inside. On the toshiba.ca site, in the product specs, it only says firewire.
I am planning on buying a cord that has a large connection on one end and a small connection size at the other end. Eg: Some cables for firewire are a 4-4pin, 6-4pin, 6-6pin, 9-4pin,9-6pin,9-9pin. There are also firewire 400 to 800 adapters. I'd like to buy the right cord for an external enclosure I bought to connect to the small laptop firewire port. The enclosure is a Vantec NexStar 3, 3.5" enclosure, usb2, eSATA, Firewire a/b. It has two firewire b ports in back, but an included cord converts b-a (the a is still to big for the laptop firewire).
Does anyone know if any of the mini ports are as fast as the larger ports? Will a 9-pin firewire 800 cable converting to a mini connection go at the mini connections speed if it is only firewire 400, I don't think it can force full F800 speed?
Thanks.

How to determine which chipset my Satellite L300/700 has?

I have a SATELLITE L300/700 (PSLB8A-047004). The User Guide covers several models. It indicates that the chipset determines which memory modules I need for a memory upgrade. How do I find out which chipset I have, please?
Kev.

> I'm still curious about how to determine which chipset I have - any thoughts?
Go to the device manger and click on IDE Ata/Atapi controllers:

There you will see your chipset installed on your laptop. In my case, as shown on the screenshot is Intel ICH9m

Satellite A350D-20K - What is fingerprint utility and registry patch?

I am using Satellite A350D-2Ok. Originally its OS was Vista 32bit, I change it to Windows 7 64bit I searched drivers for Windows 7 64bit here. Then I saw a driver or installer for finger print utility so I was confused if what is that for? I downloaded it and installed it but I can't see any new installed application or software in my laptop? I also Checked it to the C:/programfiles bur still I don't saw it..
Can you guys explain me what is that installer for? What is the use of it how it works or all about it in short.
Second thing is I also saw registry patch from the list so I also Download it. What is Registry patch for and when do I need to use that?
Thanks in advance

Hello
1.Fingerprint Utility
I think the same says everything If your notebook has a fingerprint reader you need this tool/driver to use them. Otherwise you dont need it. ;)
Generally speaking fingerprint reader and the utility can be used to replace the Windows login password. You can use your finger to login into Windows if you have such fingerprint reader.
2.Registry patch
Everything about these patches you can find on driver details on Toshiba page:
Registry patch 1.0 description: Storage Configuration Patch
Registry patch 1.0 description: Registry Patch for Devices and Printers

Satellite P100-203 need very long to start up

I bought my Satellite P100-203 computer in october 2006, since day 1 it takes a long time that the computer is ready with starting up. WXP MCE is installed. I think that a computer with Intell T2500 dual core 2.0 GHZ/1024MB should be ready in a minute...
Anyone an idea what the problem can be?

Hello fred,
Believe me, the notebook with dual core 2.0 GHz CPU will not boot faster as a notebook with a Pentium4 2.0 GHz.
The question is. What and how many applications will load at the start up?
Many applications make the boot procedure slow and longer. I think you use the Anti virus software. If you will disable the starting of such applications at the beginning the notebook should boot up much faster

Anyone know how to determine Macbook Air screen tech? Causing migraines

Hi There,
Last year, I expereinced a lot of mild migraines which I've traced back to a new Macbook Air.
At first I had no idea of the cause (diet, stress etc) but have noticed that my eyes feel uncomfortable looking at the screen of my Macbook Air (I don't have this issue with my Dell monitor).
My eyes don't hurt per se, but I can detect a sublte jittering with the screen - which can turn into a migraine.
After doing a bit of research, it seems like most (but not all) LCD and LED LCD displays use something called pulse-width modulation to control brightness but after calling Apple support, they told me my MBA doesn't use this technology.
Does anyone know how to determine the underlaying technology in Apple displays so I can research the cauase of my headaches? I found a good Ukranian website (in english) that explained pulse-width modulation but it didn't really talk about other technologies.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.

If you want to knowthe GL accounts which are used presently for the transaction VST, you can go to table T030K give the field name KTOSL value as VST and execute. YOu will get the list of all GL accounts which use the transaction VST for all possible tax codes and Chart of Accounts.

How to determine the ROWNUM in a Master Detail Form

Hello,
I am working in a Master Detail Form with Orders and Order Items Information; and I created a process that allows the users to select a Product ID on a tabular form, and the next column is populated automatically with the Product Description.
To achieve that, I followed some instructions by Denes Kubicek (http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:241), but my case is slightly different:
<ul>I am using a wizard-created tabular form, instead of a manual tabular form; and </ul>
<ul>Instead of using another page as a Popup to pass the parameter of the ROWNUM, I am using a plug-in called “Tabular Form Super LOV” which is a modified version of the SkillBuilders’ Super LOV that works on Tabular Forms. </ul>
The Product ID is returned in the correct row by the plug-in; but in the case of the Product Description, it is always returned into the first row; and my problem is that I don't know how to determine the row where the user clicked to call the plug-in.
I set up an example in apex.oracle.com in case someone would like to look at it:
Workspace: ediazjorge
Username: test
Password: test
App Name: Sample App
App Number: 1550
BTW, I am using Apex 4.1.1.00.23 and Oracle DB 10.3.2.
Thanks in advance,
Erick

Hello VC,
Thank you for your time and help.
Unfortunately, it is still not working properly:
1. When the Popup LOV opens, the first row of the tabular form is 0, the second row is 1, and so on. How can I assign the values starting with 1 and in the format *0001* ? (I am still a novice on Apex and new to JavaScript :-), sorry about that).
--2. Also, when I close the Popup LOV, the value of P1_ROWNUM is ‘undefined’ again so I'm not sure if the Product Name column will be populated.--
3. And finally, you are using the jQuery Selector uPopupLOVIcon, which is an attribute of the Cloudy Theme. In my real application (Apex 4.1.1.00.26), my element looks like: *<img src="/i/lov_16x16.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="Popup Lov" alt="List" style="vertical-align:middle;" align="middle" />*. What do you recommend me to use as a jQuery Selector?
Again, I really appreciate your help and time. I think you solved the most difficult part.
Thank you so much,
Erick
Update: I just found out that the problem with my comment 2 is because I didn’t delete the previous dynamic action that set the value to P1_ROWNUM.

How to determine most recent date from the date column of internal table

Dear friends
would you like to tell me. how i determine the most recently changed record by looking at date and time from internal table i am not supposed to sort the table by date and time... I must check date and time with other records date and time to determine which record is most recently changed...
here the scenario is.
id idnumber chdate chtime
1 123456 20060606 135312
2 123456 20060606 135900
3 123456 20060606 132300
4 123457 20060606 140000
5 123457 20060606 142500
in the above scenario i must keep in my mind that the most recently changed record is identical to its idnumber i can say that:
the record should be fetched this way
id idnumber chdate chtime
3 123456 20060606 132300
5 123457 20060606 142500
because here the id 3 is the most recently changed in the idnumber 123456
where id 5 is the most recently changed in the idnumber 123457
please help me to determin how i am supposed to carry out this task any suggestion, code will be great help of mine.
regards
Naim

After testing my suggestion above, I realized that it doesn't work because the delete adjacent actually will keep the first one and delete the rest. I'm working with Srinivas's code a bit now, I think it is almost what you want. I am under the impression that you dont' want to HIGHest date/time, but just the last record of the sequence, if this is the case, then this code will help. Here we will assign an index to each record per the idnumber, that way we can sort it and get the lastest record.

How to determine cursorline in table control

Hi,
Every time an entry is inserted in the table control i need to put the cursorline in the next line.
It is ok while you are using the initial lines of the table control but when you use the scroll it is gone.
The complet scenario is:
- my table control is created with 5 lines.
- Every time the user inserts a line, a new line is created (so you will have always 5 lines behind to complete)
- when the 5th line is inserted, if you want to fill the 6tn you have to use the scroll
- In this moment is when i dont know how to determine the cursorline. It will be different depending how much de the scroll is moved. Maybe the correct cursorline is 5, or 3 or 2... Do you know how i can determine it? Is it possible?
Maybe the way would be to move the table control (scroll) one position and always cursorline would be 5, but i dont know if it possible neither.
Thank you,
Manel

Sorry misunderstood the question.
You will have to use the variable topline from the tablecontrol.

How to determine IE type(32 bit or 64 bit) in a task sequence while updating Java

How to determine IE type(32 bit or 64 bit) in a task sequence
Hi,
Currently i have to update new version of Java after removing all the previous existing version of Java by using TS in SCCM 2007.
we have both 32 bit and 64 bit browser in the environment. I am stucked in determining whether the browser is of 32 bit or 64 bit.
How to determine IE type(32 bit or 64 bit) in a task sequence so that respective java can be installed for that IE browser.
will highly appreciate quick response.
Thanks in advance.
Daya

But you also need to install JRE x86 on x64 systems, since most people actually use the 32bit browsers on x64 systems.
The detection logic is actually pretty simple -- just check the right registry hive to find the installation location of the BIN\JAVA.DLL. Both pathnames are stored in HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.7 in the registry value "JavaHome",
but the x86 path is stored in the 32-bit hive and the x64 path is stored in the 64-bit hive.

How to determine the target system during runtime of a Generic DS?

Hi Experts, good afternoon.
I am coding a Generic Extractor using Function Module. I have to select the field TIMESTAMP on table ROOSPRMSC. To do so, I need the value of RLOGSYS that is the BW system that is calling the Extractor.
Do anybody knows how to determine via ABAP the RLOGSYS (Remote Logical System) during the runtime of the Generic DataSource Function Module?
The table ROOSPRMSC keep the TIMESTAMPs values of the last delta upload for each DataSource and for each BW target system. As I have 2 BW's loading data from the same SAP ECC system, I need to know, during runtime of my Generic DataSource, the actual system that is requesting the delta. That's the reason why I need to know the BW's logical system name that is "runnig" the delta InfoPackage.
Plese, help!!!
Thanks in advance!

The calling program of your FM should have a local variable I_RLOGSYS which is populated with the BW server ID.
If you don't know how to access a variable in a program that is in call stack using field symbols, search SDN.
I haven't tested this, so you may have to explore a little.
Good luck.
