Re: Toshiba Satellite - Locks up when plugged in



I agree. However, there is plenty of headroom on the A205-S4777 motherboard to accomodate the extra height. So it was a price vs. asthetics decision. Fortunately, electrons don't care much about the latter.

Your advice and commentary to others made this easy. Thanks....

Re: Toshiba Satellite - Locks up when plugged in

I just fixed my Toshiba A205-S4777 by following all of the great advice on this forum. I'm thrilled to have my laptop working without locking up while plugged in.

I used 4 T520D337M004ATE007 from Digi-Key for about $12 delivered to replace the NEC/TOKIN OE128.

This was my first attempt at SMT soldering.

Thanks again to everyone for the detailed posts.Re: Toshiba Satellite - Locks...
