Powering problem My A105-S4004 will not turn on. I had the computer on stnadby all day so I assume it is dead but when I plug it in, it will not power up. The wifi indicator on the side is always on even with no other lights on. When I plug in the laptop, the "battery" icon lights up on the front panel but not the "ac" icon. If i hold the power button, the caps lock indicator, the control button indicator and the function indicator all ligth up but the computer will not turn on. I would say this is a faulty power adapter but why would the wifi light be on all the time? Thanks [email protected]

I have a Toshiba Satellite A105 laptop that will not power up.

Get sure the memories are good. then try reseting the BIOS by removing the BIOS batery, let it out for 5 minutes and place it again. Though you have to disassembly almost the whole laptop. If dont, chek the other "pheripheral" devices, HDD, DVD, and another (If)

MY Toshiba Satellite A105-S4004 no longer recognizes any RAM module (original one or new one works in other RAM slot without problems). If I insert a matching RAM module in this slot the notebook will no...

try look the ram module pins support, if any pin broken, or defective, to correct this you need a small tool to put it back on place. (only with power off and battery off). if some pins has not the right place, the computer dont boot.

Problem with laptop- no power

The battery needs to be taken out once in a while. It is possible to use the ac adapter and power cord without the battery to power your laptop. Please press on the power button for 10 seconds for your computer to turn on. Check if you can see any message on the screen.

Toshiba satellite a105-s4004 power problem

It sint the power jack, but rather the Power control circuit. This circuit isnt repaired but replaced. I recommend taking this to an authorised service center or a certified technician of the latter is not easily avilable. If you choose to repair this at your own risk please remember doing so without the necessary knowledge will result in major damages.

Toshiba Satellite A105

The most common problem on these units is the ac connector solder joints break away from the motherboard. If you're sure the ac adapter is working, and the correct one, and it's not charging the battery (assuming the battery is good), it's most likely the problem. They don't have to appear loose to be loose.
Otherwise, it's motherboard time, or a loose screw, etc has caused a dead short on the board.
Good luck, if you have additional info, let me know.

Turn on

Have you checked your power adapter with a digital multimeter? Maybe run it by your local radioshack or computer super store if you dont have a DMM and see if someone can check the voltage on it. Maybe your adapter died, then the laptop was running on battery until it went dead.

Another quick check, remove the battery all together. Plug in the ac adapter... does it turn on? does it show any lit led's indicating it is plugged into the wall? try wiggling the connector at the jack on the laptop, does that light any led's or cause power to be restored?
