I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 which is 3 years old by now.

2 months ago it started to freeze or restart after some minutes connected to AC power, in battery it works nice, and it's able to recharge the battery when turned off. I took a long to identify that it was the AC power because it used to work for some minutes before shuts down. As the days go by the problem got worst and now it hangs at the same moment when I connect the energy.

I've read a lot about this problem and tried different solutions.

Tried another cable, cleaned the fan, monitored processor temperature, I've disabled one of the processors using BIOS, changed processors frequency to "always low" in BIOS, changed memory cards, removed the battery, pressed the on/off button for 30 seconds, removed hard disk and tried to use a live CD, I also have tried to configure laptop-tools (a linux tool to manage energy) but I don't know if I did it right, I was trying to set (in linux) the notebook to behave the same way in terms of energy with battery and AC power.

My readings indicates that's a common TOSHIBA problem and it's hardware. I send to 3 technicals assistance and they were unable to solve the problem. One of them told he changed the "BGA" chip (i don't know what it is), he said it worked for some time but later the problem appeared again (I don't believe it).

Some people say they can use it in Windows safe mode, but I don't have Windows installed. I'm running Ubuntu Linux and I definitely think it's not an OS problem since I tested with other OSs including Windows, actually I tried to install Windows but I was unable to finish since the battery autonomy is not enough (<1h) and in AC power it freezes anyway.

If anyone knows how to do it, tell me please. My battery now just hold 30 minutes and my notebook is almost useless by now.

Best regards,

Felipe Costa

1. After I unplug my laptop; if it goes don 2% (100% down to to 98%) the screen light starts to flicker, constantly untill I plug it back in.

2. My wifi network; will not stay connected, it will remain active for a period of time before kicking me off, having to reboot my computer as i cannot simply reconnect.

My drivers were recently updated, so I know thats not the issue, im leaning towards havig to replace the battery, and possibly either replace the cards or reflow them.

What are your sugestions?

So just today, I have this problem where my monitors does not display anything after start up. I would turn on the CPU and everything runs fine (fans, power supply, etc) but my monitors stay undetected as if my computer was never turned on.

I did some research and, so far, I've tried:

-removing all or some of my RAM and switching them through diferrent slots.

-removing and reinserting my PCI and my graphics card

-resetting CMOS through the jumper switch and battery

-unplugging everything from the Power Supply and replugging.

-pressing the CPU on/off button for an extended amount of time.

So far nothing has worked and I'm completely stumped. Everything was working fine until my computer randomly crashed darker today and then froze in start up to now not displaying anything. Any help would be highly appreciated and thanks beforehand.

My specs are-

-8 GB ddr2 ram

-quad core Intel

-nvidia gt640

-corsair tx650 power supply

I tried replacing the battery with a new one, and tried using a different charger, and still have the same issue.

A late update: ~1 month after resolving the issue, the laptop started having similar problems again. To solve them, i just removed 1 of the RAM modules. Haven't had any more issues, apart from a defective battery. So it seems the problem was the RAM.

I've had my N5010 for almost 3 years now, and lately I've come across some problems, which peaked with the last one - dead monitor apparntly.

It started with overheating problems sometime ago, then 2-3 weeks ago whenever I turned on the laptop it wouln't boot or show anything, meaning it would turn on, the lights were on but there were no beeps of signs of boot or any display (well, screen backlight was actually going on but it was still dark), What I did whenever that happend was letting the battery dry out and then would plug it to the power supply and turn it on, usually worked.

Then, about a week ago, it stopped working all together - whenever I turn it on, the screen stays black and after a few seconds the laptop starts to beep 8 times over and over again until I shut it down. I've read online that 8 beeps means there's a problem with my screen or something like that.

I've tried connecting it to an external monitor yesterday and it does work.

What are my options? My warranty runs out in about 2-3 weeks - thing is, my keyboard broke couple of months ago and I replaced it at my own expanse in a private shop - does it void the warranty? and does the warranty covers this at all? I just don't want to send it all the way to the lab when there's a possibility they won't even fix it either because warranty doesn't cover it or because warranty was voided...

Thanks in advanced! :)

Press f4 key to recover with factory image using recovery or any others key for next boot loop iteration."

My question is, with error like above, can i re-install the laptop with fresh windows 8?

If yes, how to do it?

Thank you.
