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?

Battery stopped charging when Satellite C connected to the mains

My battery has stopped charging when I plug my laptop into the mains. It continues to lose battery life until there is zero charge and then shuts down. Only then will it let me re-charge the battery.
The only other option i seem to have is to switch my computer off, shut down all documents and leave it for 15 minutes before plugging into the mains.
This is obviously very disruptive! Can anyone help?
Many thanks
Marc

Hi
Im not quite sure whats wrong with your notebook
Are you able to use the notebook without plugged in battery but connected to the mains?
If the AC adaptor is ok, you should be able to use the notebook connected to the mains only
Lets assume the AC adaptor is ok in such case either the battery or the power supply electronic which is part of the motherboard may malfunction
Its difficult to say if your battery is faulty this needs to be tested but I think its not worth to purchase a new battery just for testing purposes therefore I would ask an technician to check this before buying a new part.
PS: is your BIOS up to date?

My ipod touch suddenly stopped charging when connected to my iHome audio system.

My iPod touch suddenly stopped charging when connected to my iHome audio. I downloaded the newest update to iTunes and then when I plugged my iTouch into my iHome a message popped up that said the iPod touch was unable to charge on the device.

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Contact iHome. Maybe there is a firmware update for the dock. Sometimes an iOS update breks compatibility. However, sometimes the following works
- 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.
- 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.

Does Wall charger stop charging when it is full?

i recently charged my iphone 4 using a wall charger. and it seemed to stop charging. does it automatically stop when the battery is full?

The phone will stop drawing power from the charger when the battery reaches 100%.

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

IPhone 4 recently stopped charging.

So I've had my iPhone 4 for a while now and just recently (tonight) it stopped charging. I plugged it into my friends charger and it very slowly started loosing battery life. So I tried my charger and it just constantly shows the "charging" icon. It's not a matter of which charger because it has been used with many different chargers before. Any suggestions?
I dont want to take it to the apple store because I dont have a warranty on it...
This *****...

Syncing would have no affect on the ability for the battery to charge. What you describe with the car charger makes me wonder if there is something caught in the connector area of the phone. Try blowing that out with some compressed air. You can also take a soft toothbrush and brush the connector area slightly. Try another cable with the device and try connecting it individually to both the wall charger and then the USB on the computer and see if it will charge with either one.

Do you have a power adapter? Sometimes iPod doesn't charge in computer when the battery is extremely low. That happened to me. Luckily, I had a power adapter. Now it works as usual. Hope can be of help!

ITunes stops responding when switching between stores

Since the update to 10.5.3.3, I have been experiencing a long wait-time to switch between different nations' iTunes Stores that was not evident in the previous version. Multiple times this morning, iTunes has simply stopped responding as the switch occurs. I was just shutting down the program before, but I let it sit there and it took around 5 minutes to go from one country's store to another, when it took only moments before this update. I do not know if this is only an issue because I recently updated and have not restarted, if it is only affecting Windows users, or if it is a bug that needs to be fixed. What is going on and what should fix things?

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime.
I have set Norton Personal Firewall to allow all access for Itunes and Quicktime
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes.
Basically, if I do anything, Itunes stops responding. Can anyone help?

My M-Audio Fast Track stops working when switching instruments/tasks in Garageband.

I bought an M-Audio Fast Track along with a few imacs for my students to use in my classroom. I have it installed and it works sometimes. I seem to have to have a fresh restart of osx and garageband, then it picks up the guitar and its usable with all the effects and cool stuff in garageband. If I switch something, like add another instrument guitar track, or switch to another task like browse for a bit then come back it stops working. I cannot get it to work again without restarting osx. It does not pickup the fast track if I restart garage band or replug in the usb.
I bought this through apple, so I figured it was supported and would work great for my stuents. I have found support has changed for this device.
Any tips before I look into returning it?
Sean

I think that definitely helped. When I switch sound devices I can get both the midi and m-audio to record at the same time without rebooting.
If your familiar with the m-audio box I still cannot get sound out of the headphone jack part of the box. Ive chosen that as the output in both audio settings in osx and the output in garageband. I can hit the monitor button on the box and hear a clean guitar, but no output as far as garageband effects go.

Zen MicroPhoto looses charge when switched o

I recently bought a ZMP for my wife, which she listens to on her commute to and from work. I've been gradually uploading her CD collection to it, so it spends a lot of time connected to the computer. We have had a recent tradegy at home and wife hasn't use the player for 3 days. I know it was fully charge as I was uploading CDs to it and was then disconected and switch off.
Coming back to the ZMP my wife finds that it has less than half battery left dispite being switched off. Is this normal for ZMP or is the player faulty?

I've the exact same problem as u. So what i did is to bring back to Creative and they settled for me in just over 2 days.

Satellite P300-1A8 - requests password when turning on

Hello,
I bought a P300 from Carphone Warehouse years ago as my first laptop but because I'm not well versed in computer things, I thought that it had broken resulting in me buying a new acer laptop.
Yesterday I found the laptop and tried to turn it on with a spare charger and found out that it wasn't the laptop that was broken but the actual charger wire was damaged so it worked yesterday but when I tried to turn it on this morning it asked me for an 8 digit password in a blue box.
After 3 incorrect ones it would shut down.
I was told by a friend that it's a bios password and I was hoping if anyone knows the password because I threw the manual away back in 2007.
Thank you in advance!

BIOS password is individual password and not some standard password that you can find in users manuals or any other official document.
Someone has set this password and notebook is locked now.
All you can do is to visit authorized Toshiba service provider and let them remove this password.

Touch won't stops charging when my eMac goes to sleep

My new 2G Touch connects and syncs fine with my eMac. It charges fine too. But the minute my eMac goes to sleep, the charging stops. Can that be fixed? Is it a USB 1.1 problem?

My eMac did the same. The power going to Firewire and USB ports is shut off when the computer is asleep. Don't think it can be 'fixed' - it's just a design decision on the eMac. I believe newer Macs do continue to power external devices whilst asleep though...
Maybe you could plug it in to an externally powered USB hub?
