If the charger is not plugged into the wall when you insert it into your
Toshiba, does the PC hang? I'm thinking the socket in the Toshiba may
be shorting out in some fashion when a plug, dead or alive, is inserted.

no, I tried keeping the charged plugged into the notebook with mains
disconnected, and it works normally with battery, hang occurs as soon
as I connect the charger to the mains

Let me see if H ave this right.

With the charger plugged into the lap top, but NOT connected to
the mains, the laptop functions properly.

If you plug the power supply into the mains, the laptop goes
stupid and hangs up.

IF that's the case, I would suspect that something is wrong with
the charging supply. Such as the voltage is way high, causing the
laptop top get annoyed and hang up.

Have you measured the charger output with no load on it? (I.e.
not plugged into the laptop.)

Uninstall the Toshiba Power Managemnt utility if you have it
installed. If that fixes it try reinstalling it. If you don't have the
utility installed go to Toshiba and see if it is available for your
205 and the Vista platform.

I measured the voltage and it's normal, tried several chargers anyway

I have plain Windows 7 installed at the moment, no Toshiba nor other
utilities, even never connected to the network.

Anyway it freezes even in the BIOS when connecting power.

Its your power management drivers and GUI software that is a problem..
uninstall and install the original drivers from the CD's or web sight
for that laptop.

Since the unit seems to be locking, the driver software could be most
likely is the issue and maybe proprietary to that lap top

Things like this happen after a Windows update, unexpected error on
the HD, some one removed something they shouldn't of or, a
funny program is running on board..

It's possible a bad onboard support circuit but I doubt that
very much.

A simple test to prove this would be to boot to bias so the basics of
the machine is on and energize the charger to see if a lock takes
place there.
Next, boot into safe mode, and try the same thing.. If all is ok up
to this point. correct the software on board.

Have a good day.

P.S.
some Laptops have a partition on the HD that has special set up
software at boot time to configure the proprietary onboard chips..
This also could be an issue..

I'm testing it with a plain Windows 7 installed on a new hdd, never
connected network, never installed other drivers or software.

Even if it's plain Windows 7?

No windows update, no driver nor software installations done.

Of course it's possible.

As I wrote, if I boot using battery and enter BIOS, it freezes when I
connect power.

As I wrote, safe mode works ok even if connecting power.

I installed a new hard disk, so do you think I should install Toshiba
utilities in Seven?

You said that this problem didn't occur with certain software -- only BIOS
and W7. Which suggests a software problem.

Toshiba notebooks have not generally have this problem. You could push and
pull the AC adapter's plug all day long, and the computer didn't mind.

I suspect the software interprets the tiny "glitch" when the plug is
inserted (or removed) as a power loss, or a command to switch to
Sleep/Standby.

Does the hard drive light come on solid when it freezes, indicating it
is in some sort of loop, or does it go out, or does it flash
intermittently indicating it is not locked up?

It's connected across the meter.

Already tried that.... or are you talking about the AC line feeding my

I might do that. Can't think of anything else it might be, as it's really a
rather basic circuit. BTW that small tube with the 2 leads I mentioned is a
5841 (voltage regulator), and I don't have a sub for it.

Check this out:

http://www.dvq.com/geiger/heath_rc1.pdf

Googleing says it is a 900 volt regulator. maybe a stack of 150 volt zeners
would work.

I did see some replacements available.

Yes, except that I'm going to insist that the proper spelling is
"kluge"[1], which rhymes with "luge", not kludge which would rhyme with
fudge (which would just be wrong!).


[1] I'm fairly certain, though I can't prove it, that this term comes
from a line of printing equipment made by the company called Kluge,
which included a number of very complex Rube-Goldbergian machines, hence
the current usage.

Probably would, but may not for very long. Why not an inverter with an
output of about 90 VDC? The current is not very great, you could
probalby bodge one together easily enough.

No. I meant high voltage battery positive lead. If there's
motorboating there, then the power supply may need to be filtered.

If that shows nothing useful, follow the signal path from the GM tube
(after the coupling capacitor so that you're not looking at 900VDC) to
the first grid, to that tube's plate, to the next grid, and so on. You
should be able to see the motorboating.

Then, trace it out. From the photo, it looks simple enough.

>BTW that small tube with the 2 leads I mentioned is a

It's a 900VDC regulator. Same as Victoreen GV3A-900.
<http://www.logwell.com/tech/app_notes/VictoreenCatalog.pdf>
See if there's any oscillations cross the tube with a high-voltage
probe. It could be acting as a relaxation oscillator (as in a
neon-lamp oscillator). Solid state replacement:

I used my degaussing coil on the TV again today. This time I moved the
coil over the front, sides and top of the TV. There's still a tiny bit
of green in one corner (you have to look closely on a very light
screen to see it) and my friend is satisfied and didn't want me to try
the bulk eraser.

I'm afraid the degaussing circuit in the TV is not working. The green
spots got worse in the week since I first degaussed the set. My friend
is unwilling to give up her TV now so that I can repair it, but when
she goes on vacation this summer I will repair the set.

Thanks again for all the responses and advice. It's greatly
appreciated.

Just another little bit of friendly advice Ron - don't top-post ! It's
greatly frowned upon in newsgroups, and whilst it's reasonably tolerated on
this group, doing it on some others will cause a shed-load of abuse to fall

It was inside the oven. Saw a spark when the microwave turned on.

Earlier, we had seen a spark when cooking a frozen package of
steamfresh veggies and this had caused the board that is attached on
the interior top of the microwave to be partially torn. Not sure what
the purpose of the board in the interior top part of the microwave is
for.

Anyways, thanks and let me know what you think. BTW, we used it today
and it works. My mother can smell some burning odor, but no one else
can. The parts at the bottom look intact.

It's the wave guide cover. It's a sheet of mica that has fractured and

Check location D10 shorted (her304) use a nte576,.or try a PR3004G
diode from a Zenith TV chassis. Control box not available, nor is the
main module inside control box available. Could be a firmware issue,
but not lilely. Power supply module inside control box is available
for about $90. Hope this is helpfull. Dani.

I picked this thing up at a flea market for a buck. I put batteries in
it and it seems to power up and reads some low frequencies but I can't
seem to get it to read any RF. Does anyone have a manual they could
share with me? Thanks, Lenny
