Battery 'empty' XP on Satellite Pro 4270

Hi all

Although the battery is quite new, it is displayed as 'empty' in my Satellite Pro XP 4270. When cross-checking with an another Satellite 4270 Win98 battery works well and indicated as '100% ' in the Toshiba power saver utility.

Is there a special utility (such as electricity-saving) must be installed for XP? There is no given special driver vor 4270 / XP on the support pages of Toshiba and in view of the Act and so forth is recognized properly - except for the battery.

Any suggestions or experiences wellcome,

Kind regards
Ed

Hello

the problem is that your machine is too old and was never shipped with XP. So if you didn t find utilities powersaver for XP on toshiba page then you won´t find anything. The machine has never taken supported for XP.

  • Need advice on the installation of WinXP/2000 on Satellite Pro 4270

    Hello!

    (Sorry for the redundancy of this topic on this forum, too.)

    Please, any suspicion on this strange problem will be appreciated.

    I bought a used Satellite Pro 4270, with totally empty 6 GB drive, a pretty neat and apparently well kept machine...

    But, trying to make a new clean Win2000Pro installed on it, as previously successfully dozens of times on other PC machines, installation will be ending in a minute after that is to start with the 4 on setupdd.sys error!

    On WinXPPro new clean install, that the procedure will be stuck in less than 10 seconds, without any error at all...

    So, it might be the reason the cause?

    I tried several different corrective actions on this machine and guess several reasons, the cause, for example

    -the hard drive works fine on other machines and has also been fully verified and updated in shape at low altitude
    -copies of CD installation I tried several all work fine on other machines
    -the BIOS has been upgrade v2.70 just some time ago
    -the CMOS was turned off, i.e. in default some time ago
    -the machine was torn off at the minumum on audio memory, PCI, USB, etc.
    -the machine must be somehow strangely, which on the BIOS or HDD?
    -are there some 'weird' IDE or other driver disappeared on this case?
    -tests with installing Win98SE and FAT32 will not lead to a better result, just somehow different...

    Hello Pete

    It's a really bad situation. If you do clean install of the OS you na? t need any special drivers. Everything must be preinstalled when installing the OS is completed successfully.

    If you have a few HARD drive replacement, you should try to use it and see if the HARD drive is certainly not responsible for this. The fact is that W2000 and WXP can be installed successfully on many other old models of laptops and because of that I can't imagine that it is not possible to do the same on your device.

    Is it always that W2000 is supported for this device and you can find that page to download all the drivers of W2000 on Toshiba.

    Hello

    Also, I wasn't able to find the drivers for Win XP for this device.
    However, if you want to install Windows XP you can do, but as said above some functions may not work.

    The last possibility is to check the other laptop computer series and try to install drivers other laptops that support the same features.
    Maybe you about success.

  • Satellite Pro 4270 and network problems

    I just got a laptop, Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270... I installed win 98 on it and it works beautifully.

    But then I added LAN PCMCIA card in computer and wanted to do some sufring. I encountered a problem.

    In the next devices, win98 reports error handler:
    The NDIS. VXD, NTKERN. VXD or Chargers device for this device could not load the device driver. (Code 2).

    The card is 3Com Fe575C and I downloaded the latest drivers from www.3Com.com/warranty, but that did not help. I also ran regclean and reinstalled the card after that. Always the same fault. With my own laptop (win2k pro), the card works perfectly with no additional drivers, so the map itself is not defective.

    In addition, the Win98 find PCI card when starting, but I have no driver for that... Where can I get that? It does not specify which card that is...

    Hello

    I guess it is Win 98 Second Edition You are using on the 4270.
    Please go to driver download site and download the INF-update to the PC Card controller. I think this should solve your problem.

    While you are at it download the other drivers you need more.

  • Lack of Win98SE PCI/Sound driver for Satellite Pro 4270

    Hello

    I have an old Satellite Pro 4270 with Win98SE license.
    I have no driver CD and only a Win98SE installation CD. So I installed Win98SE.
    From Toshiba Web site show me a lot of drivers for Win98SE which I installed.

    But I have not found a driver for the PCI card that has a yellow "?" in the Device Manager. I do not mean the PCMCIA slots.

    I installed the driver of his Yamaha DS - XG, but I can not here any sound.

    So where can I find the PCI driver and sound driver better.

    I had this problem for a while, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to solve this problem.

    I have more or less of work Satellite Pro 4270 (4200 Series) computer laptop with XP on it.

    The USB port does not work. I don't know why it does not work. I tried to replace the USB module on the motherboard that has not worked. I've updated the BIOS to the latest version, has not functioned. Removed and reinstalled the drivers in XP, not worked. I'm out of ideas.

    IrDA works very well.

    Some suggestions please. Thank you

    Hello!

    I understand, were you solder the module USB motherboard and then solder another module?

    I mean, what have you done with the module USB, replacing? Sorry, I don't remember exactly how the USB module is connected to my mobo SP4270 seen last about the half a year ago... If the welding, I don't wonder the problem... but if not, there may be a solution...

  • Satellite Pro 4270: after update BIOS CPU speed at 250 MHz

    Welcome.

    I have upgraded the BIOS to version 2.7 (downloaded on toshiba website) in Satellite Pro 4270 and after her, my bus speed decrease to 250 MHz, so now I have Celeron 250 MHz instead of 500 MHz. You have some suggestions? Where can I find the old version of the BIOS in v2.7?
    Thank you

    HI Artur,

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to download an older version of BIOS on yout laptop since the BIOS update procedure is written to test later versions pre-installed and not too write.

    You will need to take your laptop to a Service partner certified to have a previous version of the BIOS re-installed.

  • Battery draining fast on Satellite Pro C50-A - 1 HR

    I have a new Satellite Pro C50 cell phone-A - 1 hr. (He had one week only) with installed Windows 8.1. The battery loses at least 30% of the overnight charge when completely closed and seems to pass pretty quickly when I use it also. It is true that I used it a lot, to try to familiarize themselves with 8.1 (I had Vista before, steep learning curve). Can someone tell me if this behavior of the battery is normal, please?

    I need to plug the power supply cord, whenever I use it, concerned that if I use the laptop for a week or more, the battery would be dead!

    Can anyone help please? Thank you

    then you don't need a new battery... I had this problem once and I fixed it by getting a new battery. also, you can apply for coverage then maybe they can replace your old battery with a new one :) good luck.

  • Malfunction of the power on the Satellite Pro 4270

    I have a problem with my AC adapter (model PA3049U-1ACA): my 4270 Pro Satellite ceased to get power and it worked only with the battery. I have this problem only twice in the last 6 months, but the other times, the problem has been resolved just remove and reinsert the plug in the notebook. Instead this time it does not work.
    How will I know if the problem is due to a broken adapter or a faulty connector "DC in"?
    I searched online for a new AC adapter but I found only "compatible" adapters: they are good or if I should get an original?

    There is another problem: yesterday the internal modem no longer works: would it be a consequence of a failure of the power started yesterday?

    [Edited by: admin on 12 February 06 17:24]

    Hello

    Original AC adapter has this part PA2450U number. If the compatible one has the same characteristics and the same connector, there should not be any problem, but I personally prefer original parts. After you have connected the original adapter, you will be able to check whether the slot is maybe defective.

    As far as I know the modem functionality depends on many things (configuration, hardware malfunction) and control first entry in Device Manager. Please report the status of the modem in Device Manager.

  • Problem of expansion memory on Satellite Pro 4270

    Hello

    I have a Pro Satellite 4700 and two memory modules:
    1 Samsung CL2 SODIMM 144 pin 128 MB PC100-222-620
    2 NEC 144 pin SODIMM PC100-222-620 128 MB

    Each of these modules work fine separately.
    When I put the two to reach 256 of ram, the system does not boot Windows XP - simply indicates that this driver pci.sys is missing/corrupted. Repair with the XP Setup disk hangs at the end.

    Is there any good advice or similar experience (I noticed that there is an upgrade of the BIOS to 4270 - that is the key)?
