Battery not recognized or carried by Satellite 1800-921

Hello

My S1800-921 not recognize battery at all or load it. Any lights in the small LED on the battery. I charged the battery manually and it gives 13.5 Volts is very healthy. In addition, the same battery works beautifully on another laptop more old.

If the battery is OK without a doubt. I opened the laptop and tested it with a multimeter. I found that 13.5 volts are present on the multiple the card connector from the battery to the motherboard. The laptop runs normally with alternating current.

Another strange thing is the following:
If I monitor the status of the battery on the screen and press the hard battery it shows 3% charge on the battery for about 1/4 of a second then replaced by "battery does not exist.

What is your opinion?
Is it a hardware fault or software?
Everyone knows something similar?
It is hopeless, or can do something about it?

Thank you

Hello

From your description, I suspect a faulty connector or damaged when the battery plugs into the laptop. Look closely at link plate to make sure that they are not bent or damaged.

Kind regards

    Hello

    Seems that the laptop can not find the bootable source.
    This means that the HARD drive is malfunctioning or the boot sector is defective.

    By the way; have you tried to change the boot order in the BIOS?

  • Satellite 1800-921 material updates

    Hello

    My daughter received a Satellite 1800-921, but it needs to be updated.

    I need to allow him to become compatible wireless and also update the RAM.

    In addition, they are easy to do?

    Thank you

    The update of the RAM is possible. You can update for max max 1024 MB and these modules can be used:
    PC100 256 MB (PA3069U - 1 M 25)
    PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
    PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)

    The situation with the WiFi network is a little different. The laptop does not support any card of minPCI of WLan and the internal upgrade isn't possible.
    But you can use a USB WiFi key or a PCMCIA Wlan card.

  • Satellite 1800-921: antenna integrated behind the screen?

    Can someone tell me if the Satellite 1800-921 has an antenna behind the screen?
    Thank you
    Peter

    I guess you mean a kind of antenna? As far as I know behind the screen is placed antenna WLAN for supported models with WLAN connectivity.

    I wasn't able to find info on Satellite 1800-921, but if the unit is supplied without WIFI I guess that there is no WLAN antenna behind the screen. By the way: I believe that the Satellite 1800 series is delivered without a WLAN option.

  • On the Satellite 1800-921 black screen problem

    Hello
    My satellite 1800-921 has started to give me a black screen after I turn it on. It loads well, go to the desktop and then the screen turns white and I can't make it respond. We can just distinguish the dialogs on the screen so I don't know if it is a screen problem or things I see on the screen are just ghosts...
    It's a bit worrying!
    Does anyone else have this problem? So far, it seems to happen when I turn it on. Usually, I have to turn it off and reboot to get it back and then it works very well.
    Thank you
    Nancy :)

    Hello

    to the old series, it may be that the FL inverter is broken or damaged the tupe of backlight. In both cases, you can see the screen but without backlight!

    To differi if it is a hard - or software error, you should start the laptop and ESC immediately to enter the BIOS. Then the machine must be running half an hour in the BIOS. When the rupture occurred it is quite sure that some hardware is broken. Otherwise, it is a software based and a restore with recovery CD Toshiba should solve the problem!

  • Satellite U400-119 - battery not recognized

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop TOSHIBA Satellite U400-119. The operating system is Windows Vista Home basic.
    Before I turned on the laptop, I plugged on the CC adapter and let the batteries reload for 24 hours.

    However, after 24 hours, battery LED icon is orange and blinks (which means that the battery is low according to the user manual).
    When I tried to turn on the laptop without the adapter DC laptop computer did not respond. So I installed Vista while the laptop was still connected to the DC adapter.

    After installation, the Vista battery icon displays a red cross on the battery icon, which means that it is not recognized.
    This is a brand new laptop so I think the battery needs to be replaced, but I don't know.

    Someone at - it had a similar problem?
    Any sollutions to my problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    A display really interesting because one of my friends got the laptop U400 and a similar one issued what s happened too.
    Suddenly, the battery did not recognize I thought that it s a malfunction of the battery. But I was wrong.

    The solution is very easy.
    You must update the BIOS and this should help get rid you of this strange issue.
    My friend did the same thing and it worked!

    So check it out. Download the BIOS compatible and right and update!

    Good bye

  • Satellite L10 - battery not recognized by Vista MS

    Hello

    I use MS Vista on my Satellite L10 and everything works great except my battery which is not recognized by Vista. There is just an unknown device in my equipment manager. In the section on the homepage Toshiba drivers I couldn't find a driver or other instructions. The MS Hotline told me this isn't their but question Toshibas.

    I hope that this forum is someone who can help me solve the problem. I just want to know if my battery has enough power for 20 minutes or 2 hours and I really hate it if my laptop is suddenly out of power.

    Thanks in advance.
    Christoph

    Hello

    You have installed Vista on the L10?
    Wow I know Satellite L10 is not Vista capable and you should be happy that this OS works without big worries on this Satellite phone.

    However, I recommend the Vista update to the last State, to install the compatible chipset from Intel page.

    But I assume that the BIOS on this laptop is not fully Vista capable that this question therefore appears on the L10.

  • battery not recognized

    my battery after a long period (> 2 years) unused (worked fine the last time when it is used) is not more recognized after insertion. It says battery not detected. someone has experienced this problem before & was able to remedy? research on the net, it is recommended by acer UK & USA for a similar question to the upgrade of the BIOS to resolve the issue. wanted to verify if someone did before for model at THE front of the BIOS upgrade. Thank you.


  • Satellite 1800-921-Maximum extension

    I have a 1800-921 Satellite running Windows XP. It starts and works fine, but as soon as I put the antivirus software on it slows down to a crawl. I want to improve its performance, but have the recommended Maximum 512 MB system memory. Can I wear this in any way to make the laptop run faster?

    The hard drive has been defragmented and 8 of it is 20 GB free.

    Is there anything else I can do?

    It will be interesting to know what antivirus you have installed on your machine.
    In my opinion the best anti-virus is AVIRA antivir. He doesn't need a lot of resources and works perfectly on Windows XP Home edition.

    Back to your question.
    I know for sure that the Satellite 1800-911 can be upgraded up to 1 GB of RAM, so I think that your Satellite can be upgraded to 1 GB.

  • Satellite Pro L10: AC/battery not recognized

    Hello

    Currently, when I have my laptop connected to the AC supply cable, the battery symbol in the taskbar at the bottom right of the screen flashes, switching between the battery icon and the network icon. While this is happening if I type some of my keys are not saved and the mouse gets 'juddery '. If I pull the cable tight against where it connects to the laptop, it remains plugged into mains. This happens sporadically and sometimes (rarely) is ok.

    Does anyone have any idea why this might happen? I had the laptop for about 2 1/2 years, so, naturally, that the battery died a little. Not sure it's the battery or cable it charges normally when the laptop is over/under voltage off before.

    Thanks for any info!

    > Anyone has any idea why this might happen?
    Maybe it s a contact drop between the power adapter and the power outlet

    But it's really not easy to tell without touching the laptop.
    I think the laptop technicians could check it and would be able to bring an answer what's exactly wrong.

    But in my opinion it s a soft seal.

    Best regards

  • Battery not be chared on my Satellite A110-195

    Hello

    This is nikhil patel, of the India.

    I have satellite * A110-195 * notebook that's good my cousin to the United Kingdom.
    My problem is now _battery is not in charged_ and my laptop runs only on AC power.

    Please tell me why this is is has happened and what is the solution.
    And if there is demand for new battery where can I get it and at what cost in India.

    I live in _gujarat ahmedabad. _

    Hello

    First of all the people here in the forum can try to post some suggestions that may help you to solve different problems of portable but you shouldn't t wait you will get a good solution to 100%. I think you can understand that without putting hands on the laptop, we can offer only on the reasons why something happens

    To return to your question; in my view, you must first check if the battery is defective and if new battery might help.

    I checked the Toshiba page Options & accessories on the European site of Toshiba and found the batteries compatible with the Satellite A110-195;
    The batteries are;

    Battery (Li-ion, 4000mAh, 6 cells) PA3465U-1BRS
    Battery (Li-ion, 4300mAh, 8 cells) PA3457U-1BRS

    Good day

  • Battery not charging if the A30 Satellite we

    I have the Toshiba Satellite A30 model, and lately, charger acted upward.
    At least, I think it is the charger.

    The problem is, the charger works fine when the laptop is turned off, the led lights to indicate that he is in charge, and when I turn on the laptop it is fully charged.
    But when the laptop is turned on, the charger does not work, so when im using it, the load is reduced slowly and I too keep turn it off to charge it back to the top.

    Its really annoying.
    Can anyone suggest what the problem and a possible solution?

    -Thank you.

    In my eyes it has nothing to do with the AC adapter, and I think that the adapter is ok.
    I think that your electronic books power is not okay maybe not a problem of motherboard or battery problem. Who knows without detail tests it's really hard to tell what's exactly wrong.

    I think that the battery needs to be checked, first using a new battery.
    If that does not solve the problem, then check the mobo should be necessary.
