Satellite P300 does not charge

Hello there.
I have Toshiba Satellite P300. It's nearly 4 years old.
However, 3 months ago it has started not to charge battery. I removed battery and left computer only with adaptor.
Now it does not charge at one, i have to wait until electricity or smth will reach some level to start computer.
So, please, help if anybody has had some alike problem or knows the reason and what to do.
Maybe its adaptor problem, or something wrong with connection between adaptor and pc. I don't know and have no money yet to check it.
Does anybody know what's wrong? Thanks.

Hi
Such issues can be related to different reasons;
- AC adaptor issue
- Motherboard issue (Im thinking especially about power supply electronic issue)
But I dont think it could be an AC adaptor malfunction because the notebook can power up after a specific power level has been reached or the notebook can boot up after a longer time being connected to AC adaptor. Is it right?
Well, it sounds like an mobo issue but this is just an suggestion
The parts should be checked firstly before replacing

Re: Satellite L750 does not charge the battery

My laptop is not charging, it is plugged in but never gains more than 13%.
Can anyone help?

>Can anyone help?
Help?
Hmm I assume its battery related issue and probably the battery should be replaced in order to solve this problem.
If you remove the battery from the notebook, you should find the battery part number.
This part number will help you to get an compatible battery.

Satellite 1950-801 - Battery wireless keybord does not charge no longer

Toshiba Satellite S1950-801
The battery from the wireless keybord charge no longer, the powerbutton does not work anymore, what can i do ?
I know the computer is old, but maby there is a solution for this problem.

> The battery from the wireless keyboard charge no longer, the power button does not work anymore, what can I do?
You are not able to power up the notebook?
hm sounds like a notebooks hardware problem and possibly this is the reason why the external Wlan keyboard does not charge the notebook is dead and therefore the keyboard does not functions
Why the notebook does not power up?
Hmmm. goo question. Maybe the AC adaptor is dead and cannot provide power to notebook and notebook battery is dead too.
This is possible but in most case its not the reason in most cases the motherboard could be faulty
However, only the notebook technician can check the hardware parts and could provide more details

Satellite A300 PSAG8E does not charge

I have a Toshiba Satalite A300 PSAG8E which does not charge.
I was handed it a few days ago by someone claiming that it doesn't work or turn on -- vague details.
Upon receipt it turned on, asked whether to start windows normally or not, then booted absolutely fine, it powered from the mains charger, no problem.
I left it on for a while doing various tasks.
I came to it a few days later to find it had turned itself off.
I powered up again, at which point it asked whether to start windows normally or not. I started normally and it came on fine.
Since then I have been unable to power it from the mains.
Why won't it charge now?

Thanks for your responses so far. Much appreciated. Not to be rude guys, but I thought I was clear enough. However, I can understand the confusion as the situation is unusual.
The problem is simple:
When the laptop is plugged into the mains, the battery does not charge. The laptop does not power on. The situation is this: It only does this sometimes.
What I have tried:
Wiggling the cable, in all sorts of ways to see if there's a possible connection issue. This does not appear to be the issue. It seems to be simply on or off.
I tried resetting BIOS to default before the battery went dead last time. Still no power.

# Make sure the battery has a full charge.
- No, it has run flat since it charged last. Unable to recharge.
# Try plugging the AC adapter into the computer.
- Tried. Nothing.
# Try plugging the AC adapter into a different outlet.
- Tried. Nothing.
# Try pressing the power switch for ten seconds.
- Tried. Nothing.
# Make sure the power switch is not physically locked off, like a cover protecting it.
- Checked.
# Try removing the battery and the AC adapter, then plug only the AC adapter in and try powering on.
- Tried. Nothing.
# Make sure you have the proper AC adapter, and only use the one that shipped with the computer.
- Yes.
# Is the computer turning on, but the display is blank or being routed to a monitor that you can't see? If so, try using the FN+F5 keys.
- No. It is not and does not turn on.
# If the computer is on, but no display or won't power off, you can press and hold the power button for ten seconds (until it powers off), then try powering on again.
- No. It is not and does not turn on.
# Make sure you remove all extra hard ware, especially extra memory even if it shipped that way from the dealer. The memory could be loose, or could have gone bad.
- Checked. Nothing.
# Look at the lights on the computer for clues. Are you getting AC power? Is a light blinking? If there is a blinking light it can be an indication that Power supply Micro controller detects an error. In this case please contact ASP (Authorized service partner) in your country.
- No lights. When battery is in, battery light blinks when you press the power button because the battery is dead.
What I will try next: Detach the battery and power cord overnight.
If I manage to get it to power up, update BIOS.
Any further advice?

Satellite A100-166 PSAA9E does not charge the battery

Hello,
My laptop does not charge the battery.
Although Windows Xp recognizes the battery and says charging, the battery is not recharged.
I tried with a spare battery as i thought the battery was defective, with same results.
Strange is, when i turn off the laptop the power supply led stays on and blue, even without the power supply atached thus discharging the battery.
The battery led is always amber but not charging!!!
What is the matter with the laptop?
Thanks

Hi
Generally there are three different possibilities;
1) the AC adaptor is faulty
2) the battery is faulty
3) the notebooks board electronic (power supply electronic) malfunctions
So now its necessary to check all this steps to locate the fault.
You said that you have tested different batteries and the AC adaptor works too.
So its possible that there is something wrong with the power supply electronic
In such case there is no much to do as to contact the ASP in your country. The technicians should check the notebook and should run some diagnostic tests
I recommend contacting the guys and ask for the details and for the further handling Good luck and happy new year.

Hi
Please dont use any batteries which are not 100% compatible with your notebook!
This can damage motherboard and other 3rd notebook parts.
As far as I know the A100 is a one of the newest Toshiba series and the warranty should be valid.
For me it sounds a little bit like a motherboards power supply electronic fault.
Who knows ?:| The notebook check is necessary to locate the malfunction.
So dont waste the time and contact immediately the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
They technicians should check the notebook and should provide a help.
Good luck

Satellite P300 recently stopped charging when switched on

My Toshiba P-300 has recently stopped charging when switched on.
I have no concept as to how this has happened.
It will charge fine when the laptop is either in sleep or switched off, but once it has been turned on it will not remain charging.
Anybody know what's causing the problem, or has anyone else encountered this before.
How was it solved?
Thanks

You must understand that charging process works automatically and it is controlled by power supply electronic. I dont know why this happen and answer to this can give you service provider after notebook check.
Anyway, Satellite P300 is not the newest notebook model and described issue can be related to defective battery.
When the notebook is ON and OS loaded remove battery for few seconds and put it back. Will charging procedure start or not?

IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

HT1476 iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue?

iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue? It will connect via bluetooth but when I go to connect the usb charger it states that it is not compatible or you never get the charging display on your iPhone 5. It charges just fine when I use the AC charger in the house. At first I thought it may have been the cord but the same cord works fine in the house too. This causes problems when you take long trips and don't have any way to charge your phone while on the road. Are there any upcoming fixes/iupdates either to the software or usb cord that will fix this?

My iphone does not charge or show up as a device in itunes when i plug it into my computer

I've never had a problem connecting my phone to the computer, but in the last two or so weeks I have been unable to sync or charge my iphone 4 through my MacBook Pro (OSX). The phone does not charge and it does not show up in the "devices" section of itunes. The cord charges through an AC adaptor with no problems and my USB ports all work fine. I have done everything suggested so far, including deleting podcasts, restarting my computer, restarting the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes... I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions would be very welcome!

I removed the AMDS as part of the instructions for completely removing itunes. Nothing changed unfortunately. I don't understand why it is happening!
I have already checked for lint, etc as you suggested, but don't have another USB cable on me at the moment. I'll be returning home tomorrow so will try then, but I would have thought the cable was fine as it still charges the phone through an AC adaptor fine. Thanks for the suggestions!

Lenovo G550 does not charge battery!!!! please help!!!!! :c

So i havent used my Lenovo for about a year and a half because i had lost the originial charger. ive recently bought a new cheap charger from amazon and thought it was the charger that was the problem when i looked it up online and found out it may be a bug from Windows 7. Now, this charger does turn on my laptop, but it does not charge it. It simply says "plugged in, not charging" and when i was reading an article on how to fix this , i was trying for hours to uninstall a program under device management called Microsoft ACPI- Compliant Conntrol Method Battery, because it was said that uninstalling this would help the system charge again. but after countless hours, i found that the program reinstalls itself and i am left with a laptop that just wont charge. my laptop says 0% (plugged in, not charging) and i really need this to work for the upcoming school year. i dont know what else to do! whenever i disconnect the wire the system completely shuts down and if i dont fix this problem ill just have to get rid of my Lenovo G550, which i absolutely LOVE! please, anyone help me! do i need to install a new version of windows? do i need to uninstall something? or is my laptop absolutely done for?
please, please, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi Chernandez51,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
From your observation, it seems like the battery was fully discharged after not being for a long time (batteries degrade overtime due to age, heat, and usage).
What you can try is to charge the battery for an hour or two while the computer is off then observe the status light indicators.

If the battery still doesn't take a charge then the battery might have gone faulty and needs a replacement.
For best compatibility, I recommend you use a Lenovo approved AC adapter and charger. You can buy one from the lenovo spare parts website (www.lenovospareparts.com) or you can buy online (eg. Amazon, Ebay, etc.) but ensure that there's a Lenovo FRU part number on the item..

I have 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car and 30 to lighting cable and adapter plays audio but does not charge. Is there a fix

My 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car worked fine with my old iphone. it charged and played audio. I bought both 30 pin to lighting (cable and adapter) from Apple store but it does not charge. It only play audio. I have verified that both adapter and cable are working fine. Is there anything to fix this?

Apple sells a 30 pin to lightning pin adapter - you can find it on the Apple on;line store - or Amazon sell 3rd party one - but if it didnt works with your 4S which also has a 30 pin input - there may be something else wrong
