Re: Toshiba Satellite - Locks up when plugged in

However, the very first temporary solution to be tried is to disable the cores in Device Manager, which will most likely extend the life of the laptop by several months. This will provide enough time to prepare oneself for the ultimate solution of Proadlizer replacement.[/QUOTE]


I agree,
Ultimate soliution is to change nec-tocin. However circumstances are not available to replace whatever it so. I 'don't have credit card to buy right chips. Anyway I'm just taking easy otherwise would throw away...

Re: Toshiba Satellite - Locks up when plugged in

solution of the post #378 failed though I was really really hoping it would work long. I am sorry. But no matter since am writing this post from nec tokin's failed. It's working again by chance at least I guess. This is my second attempt to recover computer without changing nec-tokin o128.

This is my solution.
Firstly, I didn't want to take nec-tokin 0128 out before seeing inside of it. Cause since I am living in Turkey, It could be very hard to find right caps. (laptop is A205 Toshiba)

Carefully made this with a razor blade. after doing this it was obvious that problem was nec-tokin.
I am sorry could not take photos (No camera). A very small area of silvery surface was yellow.
Then with a quality watch maker...
