Satellite M100-233: shuts down just after the XP logo

Hi,
I have a Satellite M100-233 with XP Home Edition SP3 (in Portuguese)
When connected to the mains and the battery is not totally charged, sometimes the amber light does not light up.
Checking the voltmeter application when this happens tells me that the battery is on, the source of energy is the mains, but the battery is discharging.
As I keep using the laptop, the amount of battery charged is reported as progressively less, until it goes to zero, and then the laptop just turns off, as if it was not connected to the mains.
Even if I start with the battery charged at 100%, after a couple of hours (sometimes more, sometimes less) the same thing happens.
At an authorized dealer, they told me that probably it was a short circuited battery.
*I don't buy that:* if it take the battery off the laptop and turn it on:
- Most of the times it shuts itself down just after the XP logo.
- It appears this happens more often when the battery was not totally charged the last time I used it (Strange! Am I imagining this?)
- This happens also sometimes after I've been using the laptop for sometime
The only unusual bios message I get is "No TPM or TPM has problem". I guess this has to do with cryptographic protection, so I imagine it has nothing to do with this issue.
About two years ago there was a problem with the battery (it stopped from being recognized as present by the laptop) which was repaired under the warranty: they told me they had replaced the motherboard then. However, at that time I could keep working normally without the battery, which is not the case now.
I would be grateful for any hints. The most annoying thing is that this problem follows a irregular pattern, and the diagnostic the authorized dealer gave me looks hard to believe. As I use my laptop to collect data for research abroad, it is quite a risk for me to use it if I can't be sure when it will shut itself down of its own will.

Hi
To be honest I doubt that someone here in the forum would be able to provide an exactly answer to this issue
I think its nearly impossible to say whats wrong without running any hardware checks.
But for me it sounds like an motherboard issue possibly its power supply electronic issue which is a part of the motherboard.
What to say maybe you need new motherboard but the new mobo is an expensive part and in my opinion you should firstly check if its worth to replace the motherboard or to purchase an second hand notebook for the same cash.

Have an iPod touch 4th gen. It is completely charged, but once I disconnect from a power source it shuts down and then the apple logo just keeps reappearing. I have restored via iTunes and reset all the settings. Any suggestions?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

When i clicked on erase all content and setting in my iphone3, it first shut down and next the apple logo appears and then nothing happens, how to fix it

when i clicked on erase all content and setting in my iphone3, it first shut down and next the apple logo appears and then nothing happens, its been 12hrs since like that. i tried force restart by clicking the home and sleep/wake button, and still same issue.

I believe with the 3G and the older iOS, erase all content and settings acts differently than the newer iOS. You can use this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to place the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

My mac book pro shuts down just after it is started

My MacBook Pro shuts down straight after it has been started. A bar appears at the bottom of the screen that I've never seen before! A tiny part of it is filled, it disappears and the machine shuts down.

My suggestion is to work through the options here -> If your Mac won't turn on - Apple Support

After ressetting smc my rmbp can't enter the system. It shuts down just at the loading interface.

need help!!!
I saw some article online which suggests to resolve the gaming fps problem by ressetting smc.
so I resset the smc, and enter the system once, found the terminal cannot open, the mail cannot quit and I cannot visite the Internet while I can connect to my wifi. so I force shut down my macbook, and followed the situation as I described above.

I do boot to the recovery HD, but cannot make the disk repaired: somewhat node is broken as far as I know it is a file system structure. And the Disk Utility asked me to format the disk.So I did, reinstalled the os x system and got all my photos lost. Because I have never used time machine, now I have a new problem to find the treasure pictures back. Hope you can help!!!

Satellite A200 23W shuts down seconds after pressing power button

Hi all :)
I have just bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 23W portable computer some hours ago.
I turn it on and i let it finish all the Vista installation.
After finishing Vista installation it asket to resturn the laptop and from that moment the laptop is "dead".
After pressing Restart computer (from Vista) the computer shut down with no problem but it never restarted!!!
After waiting some minutes i tryed to start it over by pressing the power button.
Now when i press the power button i can hear the HDD working and most of the time before i can see something on screen the laptop shuts down!!
Now i notice that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN indicator are flushing and stopping flash at moments.
From reading the manual i would assume that the DC IN indicator should not flash at all though.
I have tryed to unistall the battery and try to boot the laptop but in that case i can not even listen the HDD starting up!!!
I have try to unplag and replag the power cable (in the wall socket as well as in laptop) but again no result.
Any ideas of what has happened?
Many Thanks

I do not know what is wrong there and, in my opinion, it should not be so important for you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and talk with him. Explain the situation. Maybe you will get new notebook. If not please contact nearest authorized service provider and let them check your notebook.
The notebook is brand new and it must work. Please do not wait too long.

Mini shuts down just after start up

Any advice would be appreciated.
My mini seems to start up OK (chime, light, no flashing) but after a few seconds, it shuts down. The monitor never has a chance to come on. After repeatingly trying to turn it on, it eventually does come on with no visible problems.
I have unplugged and repluggd cables, removed connections to my USB network, reset the PRAM, checked drive capacity, checked keyboard for stuck keys, ran a virus checks, etc. I have no software that automatically comes on at start up rather than Norton Antivirus.
I am using a USB hub and it powers up when the computer does and shuts down at the same time. It, however, is self powered and the Mac Mini acts the same way even when disconnected from the hub.
OS: 10.4.8
Machine Name: Mac mini
Machine Model: PowerMac10,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.5 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.9.4f1
My set up has been working well for a year. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Your power management unit (PMU) settings may have become corrupted. See this Apple note to do a reset: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300574 . When you say you reset the PRAM, is this the procedure you followed?
Have you tried a safe boot? First unhook everything but a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Boot while holding down the shift key. This triggers some background maintenance that may help get you going.
If that doesn't fix it, I might try to run the Apple hardware test, if your machine has power long enough to swallow a CD. Insert the first OS X CD that came with your system and reboot holding the option key down. Choose Apple hardware test, and when prompted, the extended test. If you're able to run it, does it tell you anything?

My iPad keeps freezing and shutting down just after I purchased an itunes movie.

-iPad Mini
-64GB
-w/o Retina display
-Updated to the latest iOS 7
-Using "Videos" app to watch and used "iTunes Store" to download movie
I literally just downloaded this movie,called "Sucker Punch", I wanted to watch it while it downloaded and it was doing fine for the first maybe 2 minutes if that and then I would pause it when it started skipping thinking I was letting it buffer, but then when i tried to resume by using my clicker on my headphones nothing would happen. I proceeded to tap the screen thinking something was up with my headphones and nothing happened. I held the home and lock button to boot and then it came back on eventually but did the same exact thing but this time it just crashed completely and restated itself. My WiFi single is strong and everything else using the WiFi is working perfectly. This is very aggravating . Any clue or help?

Hello, BRIABUNNI.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple resources that have some helpful troubleshooting steps for this issue. These are labeled for the iPhone, but the steps will also apply for the iPad.
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
Mac doesn't boot

MacBook Pro keeps shutting down immediately after startup chime

I booted into Windows 7 on my boot camp partition and was about to play Dirt 3 for the 1st time. I was in the options menu of the game and my MacBook Pro just shut down/turned off instantly.
I turned back on, holding in Option so I could boot into Windows again, but the computer just turned off immediately after the startup chime. I turned on again, this time I didn't hold in Option, so I could boot into OS X (my default startup volume) and the same thing happened - MBP shut down immediately after the startup chime. I tried again, same thing. I tried again, and this time it booted fine into OS X, and all seems ok.
Any idea what's going on?

Hi. When you were in the recovery drive doing permissions, did you try and run a repair of the boot drive? Did you try single user mode? Try these first and then go back and try to reinstall the operating system.When I say repair boot drive I don't mean permissions. There are both options in disk utilities.When you open disk utilities ,you will see in the left column two drives plus possibly a boot partition that look like an external driv. click on the second drive and in first aid use repair disk. If you still can't boot and it will not let you restore, you may have to do a clean install. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18869?viewlocale=en_US

My Satellite laptop (A305) shuts down when run on the AC charger/adapter

The problem is that my Toshiba _A300 series laptop (A305) shuts down when you try to run it on the AC charger/adapter_. You can boot it with the power cord plugged in and it will get to Windows Desktop and maybe a few minutes more at most before shutting off.
It will boot and _run from battery without problem_, but if you plug in the AC while it is up and running on battery the machine will normally click off instantly and reboot to the message "Windows was not shut down correctly."
The _AC adapter works fine_ reading a steady 19.19 to 19.20 volts with a voltmeter. It also _charges the battery fine when the computer is off_. I have two Toshiba brand batteries and they both work fine.
One interesting thing is that the _computer runs fine on AC when in safe mode_.
I _did a reformat/factory restore_ of Vista to assure it was not software and drivers, and still got the same problem before any external devices had been plugged in.
It has the latest BIOS and I tried resetting it to default values in case anything had gotten changed. It made no difference.
This is _not a heating issue_ because _while it is run on battery I can watch long videos_ without it shutting off. I ran compressed air through the vents just to make sure, but it makes no difference in behavior. Usually with an overheating shut-off, the computer cannot be started until it has cooled some, but these shutdowns are accompanied by an instant reboot.
I have seen on some threads that this type of problem one can work around by disabling one of the processors in Device Manager, but I don't think that is much of a lasting solution or good for the computer.
Has anyone seen this problem before and have you come with a full diagnosis of the problem and a real solution?

I have Satellite A300 and until now everything works OK.
I would like to know what happen when you remove the battery and use notebook with power supply only. Does notebook shuts down again.
If not let OS run and put the battery.
Is the battery recognized properly? Does notebook switch off again?
To be honest I cannot imagine this issue has something with software or background processes. Recovery image you got with your notebook is designed for this certain notebook mode. Recovery image is tested and I dont think preinstalled OS has anything to do with this.
Full diagnosis?
And how to do this? You know very well that diagnosis can be done with diagnostic tools only and such tools have services only. I hope you will find answers but Im 99% sure there is nothing you can do about that. Maybe you should contact service, explain the situation and ask for help.

My calendar just shuts down immediately after opening.

Hello, My calendar just shuts down immediately after opening. I reset the ipad and it still isn't working Any ideas? iPad 2

I only kow how to disengae yahoo but maybe the process will help for other email accounts linked to ipad calendar. Just remeber to go to email accounts and shut down any associations with other programs.
Here is what I did in yahoo.mail
Went to My Yahoo
selected quicklinks (on top left of page)
Calendar was not shown , so I selected more yahoo services at bottom of list.
Candar was among many and I selected it.
You then see your calendar with a margin on left that probably shows a checked box of te name of you calendar. Uncheck it.
Also check the subscriptions. You must decide what makes sense for you there.
To be more sure, delete any recent calendar entries in your yahoo calendar or ipad calendar that might have cuased the problem. that's what happened to me. I noticed the problem right after I accepted a ics invitation from some else. I think the ics invitation that I accepteed from my email was the real culprit but who knows. All I know is that all these things combined solved my problem.
Close the My Yahoo
Remeber to check your ipad for any associations and eliminate them and point the ipad calendar to icloud.
Reboot you ipad
Check for results
I hope this helps

Toshiba Satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds!!

my laptop satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds of booting , i dont know why ?? and i searched for support in the website and didn't find it in the model list, also i don't know why ???!!
i want to know why it shuts down , and how can i communicate with support

Yours would not appear to be a US model. We need the Part Number for your laptop, like PSAG8U-05K02C. You can find this on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your laptop. As well, what country was it originally purchased in. In addition, what is your operating system version, like Windows Vista 32bit?

Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while

Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while. When it shuts down the
blue screen says - stop: (0x0000008e,0xaa846f58,0xa9f29808,0x00000000)
sysaudio.sys - adress aa846f58 base at aa843000, datestamp 41107f1a

Hi
Believe me; its not easy to say exactly why the BSOD appears.
Generally it happens because of the serious software malfunction or hardware fault.
Did you use the OS from the Toshiba image?
There message says something about sysaudio.sys.
This file is a system audio WDM filter process and its a part of Windows OS. It controls the hardware like printer or graphic card on a lower level.
Note: The virus uses such files as a camouflage. You should use always a anti virus application.
Furthermore you have suggested that the notebook shuts down after 5 min.
Well, this sounds like a overheating issue. How did you use the notebook? You should know that the free space around the notebook is very important because of the air circulation. The ventilators should be also free.
I you use the notebook in the right position and this will happen again so I would recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for the help. They should check the notebook.

You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)
