The thing works with every PSU I have except for this one. lol. Im going to go ahead and read the link you gave me and see if I can figure anything out. This is too strange.

Hmmm I was worried about possible motherboard failure - but I started to think otherwise when I tested OTHER power supplies and they all work with this one. In your opinion / knowledge, can a bad motherboard work with some power supplies and not others?

Hey guys, I have a new 350w power supply.. the thing works in all but one of my computers. All other power supplies I have work in the computer that the new PSU doesn't. Is there some kind of compatibility thing I am missing here? The psu / computer in question is an AMD 1.1ghz with...

Hey guys on one of my comps I have 256mb ram... the computer is quick, but everything I do - the harddrive needs to work.(even just moving a window) Is this a sure sign of lack of memmory? Thanks!

Errr regardless of instruction manual, toshiba online says battery may last up to 1:30 :mad:

After a discharge and a full recharge, same thing.... on normal power one percent battery life goes away per ~50 sec. BLAH. And what is the deal with it telling me theres a full charge in ~2 hours.. that CAN'T be possible if it's charging to full capacity..

Thanks for the help - I'll see if I can return this or something... WOW.. I just noticed my sig is OOLLLLD... damn I haven't posted here in a while :)

Ok, I needed something for minimal internet use and some word processing / excel so I got a Toshiba A85-S107 - not the fastest thing in the world, but for the price I got it for I'm pretty pleased with it. I read the user guide and the thing says that in "Normal power mode" the batter...

Ok - I know it's not great, but I have the built in Intel extreme graphics and a video card is not an option because this is a tiny tiny computer in a totally custom case which does not allow for another video card unless I were to get an AGP riser - and even then with modern day video cards...

If i use my windows XP cd that works from my other computer (retail version) can i just run the "repair" option in setup and have it not ask me for a CD Key on the laptop? thanks again

ok thanks for clearing that up, i read it wrong. What am i supposed to do then? I cant find anyone who has a OEM CD of windows XP and my restore CD's wont work with this machine - they say "This is for a Satellite 5005" and IT IS, they came with THIS computer. grrrr.... I took it into the...

nice! So i do have a copy of windows XP home edition from another computer i have (retail) that has only been used on that desktop. So now that i know its legal to put it on my laptop, i must do this... When i call to activate, just tell microsoft that i am now installing it on my laptop...
