Battery XPS 13 (L321X) problem

Hello
New laptop, months - battery charge more than 73 percent and is slowly deteriorating. No difference if I use or that you do not use the smart load options. Any ideas?
Thnx Mark

Thnx,

Steps to follow:

0 turn off all smart pricing, battery protection and desktop modes. Full power of the computer laptop and tell to stay always on. Run a movie in repeat mode.

1. discharge of the battery, laptop will tell you the battery is 5% and go to sleep.

2 turn on laptop.

3. it will tell you the battery is 0% after some time and then it will work for another hour, until it turns off by itself.

4. switch on the back of the laptop, BIOS will tell you that the battery is 3% and will die again.

5. recharge the battery on go to full-fledged State. (takes like 4 h)

6. then return to any smart pricing, etc. Enjoy.

I suspect the battery is callibrating itslef. Because when it is new, it is charged that the calibration set to the wrong place. He need to totally discharge to almost zero and then reload it completely. Then calibration set correctly and it will charge in 99%.

I hope it helps.

  • Satellite Pro C50-A-154 - battery after automatic update problems

    Hello world!

    First of all, I must apologize for my bad English, if it is not as good as be... after that, I could start to tell you all what happened to me in the last few weeks...

    I have an a C50-A-154 Toshiba Satellite Pro and I use it for stuff like watching youtube videos, listening to music, and do this kind of thing than a normal user.

    A few weeks ago a Toshiba Tempro Alert remember that there are software updates avaliables to download for my laptop, so I installed them, I normally unplug my battery when I have the power cord plugged in, so I didn't realize after a week after that my battery was not recognized as it should be for my toshiba.

    Initially, windows said that it is fully charged and no need to continue to load, so I unplugged the power cord and the laptop shutted down (with battery connected and therefore be charged to 100%).

    When I plugged it again the power supply cable, windows said that the battery was empty and told them, hip but not load...

    At the same time, a new toshiba update was released, this time was for the bios, if I have that it is probabbly fix the problem with the battery, so I updated the BIOS and windows says that the battery was full charged... I couldn't believe...!

    But the system always goes down when yo unplugg the AC cord, and now battery said once again that it is empty...

    Yesterday was a new update for the Bios, so I give another chance, but nothing has changed... I can't use the battery, and I have no warranty, so I don't know what to do...

    I read a lot of posts on battery of problems lately, in the forums of europe and US forums... maybe it's a software problem? Maybe toshiba boys don't have any idea about this problem?

    Thanks for your replies!

    Hello

    I think it might be a software related issue.
    In Device Manager, you will find the battery input compatible Micorsoft ACPI method. It belongs to the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface.

    I recommend you to uninstall the three topics that you might find in the battery area.

    Reboot the laptop. After restarting again, the system should install all devices removed once more.
    Usually, this should help to unravel the question in the case of its just system problem

  • Unload the battery G450 and stop problem

    When this unit is operating in mode 3G as modem battery discharges and stops.
    I tried to remove and replace the battery, as is stated in the user manual, but still no results.
    Somethimes do this but not all the time.
    It is very annoing to find in the middle of a conference and stop.
    I tried to contact toshiba Romania, they said that another version of the software is under development for this device, but 5 or 6 months I did not hear anything on their part.

    Best regards!
    DG

    I do not joke with customers of Toshiba. Maybe you're on the wrong forum.
    At the top of this page says Toshiba computers support forum.
    AFAIK G450 is perhaps mp3 player or your phone, but certainly has nothing to do with computing.

    I recommend you contact your local dealer where you purchased this device and ask for help.
    If all goes well, they will be able to help you with this problem and propose the right solution.

  • Satellite A210-1AP - battery and power supply problem

    A few weeks ago I received my laptop (Satellite A210) reapair and the motherboard was changed.

    Since then, I got problem with the battery when it is inside and power cable is pluged.
    When the cable is in the laptop running on battery power I do not know why. Then when I turn it off battery led is lit Orange and the battery is charging.
    When the PC is turned on, the indicator light does not work and the battery becomes lower.

    So I wonder what the problem is.
    I read somewhere that this problem could solve the BIOS update.
    So anyone have experience like this.
    Also how is installed BIOS, I saw there is an installer for windows (so I guess it isn't hard).

    And somehow can back up old BIOS so I can go back if something bad happens.

    > A few weeks I got my laptop (Satellite A210) reapair and the motherboard was changed.
    > Since then, I had problem with the battery when it is inside and power cable is pluged.

    In my opinion, the technician has done something wrong
    The point is that this problem occurs after the exchange of motherboard and I think what this is about.

    Contact the ASP who repaired the laptop and explain your problem.
    I doubt that a BIOS update would solve this problem. I think it s a question an electrician

  • Battery on Satellite U400 problem

    I bought my dad a Satellite U400 laptop 10J for her birthday there is a little less than 2 years. More than 60 years and not too keen on the use of a laptop computer, he left the unit in her closet for nearly a year before turning on. The first problem with the laptop materialsed turns don't not on with the error "battery not recognized." Subsequent update of the BIOS got the laptop so that it starts. However, despite the now (or appearing to be charged) battery can hold only about 10 minutes of charge. It got progressively worse until it is the only way to use the laptop to keep constantly plugged in. As you can imagine, limiting the usefulness of having a laptop in the first place.

    I got back to the retailer and given that I had bought extended warrantly, hoped that they would replace the battery. They refused, indicating that the battery is not covered and that, by not using not the first laptop after buying, I had damaged the battery current.

    Is this possible? Can do a battery irrevocably damaged by the inactivity? I think that the period was approximately 9 months, during which it had not yet unpacked it in the box.

    If that is the case, are optionally spare batteries or should I order a battery Toshiba orginal? Also, are there long lifetime battery options available for this model?

    Thanks in advance

    Yes, it can happen. It is recommended to charge the battery full, even if not used. You must use original Toshiba batteries do not think that it is extended life battery available

  • Satellite A215-S4757 - battery life and the problem of cooling fan

    Hello everyone,

    I would like to ask a few questions abou my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

    I have my laptop since last August and I think that it shouldn't be a dust problem, because it is too 'young' for this and I do not live in an apartment "dusty"...

    In any case, I think that the problem of "almost allways running fan" appeared about 2 months after I bought the laptop. I installed 'Speedfan' and I see 'HD0' temperature increases of 30deg remarks immediately after I have start the laptop, on 39deg after 1 hour.

    But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?

    Is the normal temperature of 45-50deg? I use my laptop for browsing the Internet, emails, etc., no complex 3d games!

    The second thing is that the battery life is (and has been since the beginning) not spectacular: it lasts max. 1.5 hours with wireless use on, but normal laptop (don't play not DVDs or something like that). Is this normal? If so, is it because of the amd processor turion 64 x 2?

    Please help me with some tips / advice.

    P.S. I bought my Toshiba as I was travelling to the US (NY).

    Thank you much in advance.

    Conrad

    > I would like to ask a few questions about my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

    I m an owner of a Satellite A210. It s similar to the A215. The A210 is a European model and the A215 belongs to the series of cell phones in the United States.
    I noticed the same thing on my A210, and I think that's a normal s behavior.

    > But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?
    The 40-60deg CPU temperature is not unusual.
    The temperature could affect up to 70-80degrees by practicing a game. So Don t worry about the temperature.
    Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. Fan table is stored in the BIOS and it contains information about the limits of temperature and the use of cooling.
    If a certain level of temperature has been reached the cooling module begins to spin with a certain speed.

    Now, I would like to say a few words on the life of portable batteries
    Generally the duration of battery life depends on the use of portable computers.
    While playing games or watching movies the battery a lot faster.

    In any case, your laptop is equipped with high performance devices and AFAIK Vista was preinstalled on this series. The two factors (high performance CPU and GPU devices) + Vista OS need a lot of battery power. Vista needs of more resources for laptop like Win XP, and so portable computers equipped with Vista operating system run more short on battery such as laptops pre-installed with Win XP.

    Finally and above all he must know that there are different models more strong the battery with high * value of my would help run the notebook longer using the power of the battery.

    Hope I could clarify this issue.

    Good bye

  • BATTERY LENOVO IDEAPAD Z510 PROBLEM

    I bought Z510 a year back, in this short time I am facing battery problem. Battery won't charge and the system to keep plugged in a State with each use.

    I'm a home user and use the laptop for a limited time. I don't understand why lenova did not provide a removable battery that can be changed by the user only.

    Now new battery is not available on the market, also that Lenova simply made it their responsibility saying laptop in not less than warranty.

    I ask Lenovo go to analysis of root causes of this problem that hundreds of people face the same problem in this model.

    Hope Lenovo would provide some software to assist the problem or at least to give the details of the service provider where the batteries can be repaired or replaced.

    In response to customer relationships of unexpected problems with the performance of the batteries portable Z500 and Z510, Lenovo made an update of the firmware of battery available via download on the Lenovo Forums.

    This battery firmware is intended to solve unexpected load following symptoms when a Z500 and Z510 mobile phone is turned on:

    • Battery is dead

    • Battery is not detected

    • Battery is detected and charged 100%, but when the power is removed, the laptop turns off immediately

    • When the battery is fully charged and the AC power is removed, the battery level falls considerably less than 10 minutes

    Please note a procedure step by step for the upgrade of the firmware is included in the .zip file, found in the file "ReadMe".

  • Battery on T500 - unusual problem - not in the forum

    I have laptop T500 with a battery 6 cells. For some reason, the battery does not charge. The battery on the screen light blinks all the time. I changed the battery but the problem persists, and so I think that it is not the battery. I also checked with another adapter that I have and it's always the same thing. Anyone know how I can solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    If the problem persists with different battery, then it is likely that you have a problem with the motherboard. Flashing battery should mean that the battery is below 5% charge level.

  • Wondows 8 - big battery drain and other problems

    The product name and number: for HP Pavilion dv6-6c30ez laptop

     

    Operating system: Windows 8 PRO 64 bit - updated since the original win 7 64 bit

     

    All changes to your system until the problem occurred: problem starts after the upgrade to Windows 8

     

    Error message (after upgrading to windows 8):

     

    1. I have problem with fingerprint reader - after startup on desktop always flashes, sometimes does not (installed windows 7 64 bit drivers because the drivers of windows 8 do not exist, here are the drivers for my NB)

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5218957&...

    2. my notebook have terrible battery life (3 hours... off wifi, turn off all the settings of all effect set to battery save etc) under windows 7 I 6.5 hours of battery life with same settings - I think my HW but need bios update it is more recent.

    I didn't play games only programming in Visual Studio and Eclipse.

    3. my driver for AMD radeon 7400 M Windows has stopped this device because device reported problems. (Code 43)

    But I installed all the readers of ATI etc, I m no newbie

    I hope you can help me find a solution to my problems eventually recommend some drivers.

     

    And finally I can't downgrade to windows 7 because I buy the upgrade to windows 8 and downgrade possible inst here.

     

     

     

    Just to note, a downgrade is still possible using the s system of "recovery disks (either made or purchased from HP system).

    Since there is no drivers Windows 8 available, so the system has not yet been certified for Windows 8 (not sure when or if this will be the case). Consult this HP site to get an idea of what to expect during the upgrade to Windows 8.

    Before installing anything, make sure that .NET Framework 3.5 is enabled. In Windows 8, it is disabled by default and it is necessary for some legacy programs work properly.

    Visit this site hosted by Microsoft to do this. During the installation of Windows 7 software, try to install this compatibility mode. It is possible to navigate to the executable file by opening, by selecting Properties, Compatibility tab, then selecting the compatibility mode. If the installer extracted the files to install, you need perform the step of compatibility from the extracted folder. By default, it is in the folder in c:\swsetup with the respective downloaded file folder (usually the name of the file).

    1. I have problem with fingerprint reader - after startup on desktop always flashes, sometimes does not (installed windows 7 64 bit drivers because the drivers of windows 8 do not exist, here are the drivers for my NB)

    You can try to install the driver validity sensor and SimplePass software. However, I will note that it does not on my laptop when I upgraded to Windows 8. This will more than likely need a driver of Windows 8 and software to get this working properly.

    2. my notebook have terrible battery life (3 hours... off wifi, turn off all the settings of all effect set to battery save etc) under windows 7 I 6.5 hours of battery life with same settings - I think my HW but need bios update it is more recent.

    If you go to Device Manager and expand the display drivers, you see one the card from AMD and Intel? I ask this as it appears that the system uses switchable graphics since it has downloads for both. If this is the case, graphics switchable currently do not work correctly in Windows 8 with Windows 7 drivers. That means that two video cards are running simultaneously, and it drains the battery very significantly faster than in Winidows 7. It also means that despite what all that may be present, the system will only display using the Intel card and run both drain the battery. Thus, graphically intensive programs may not work correctly because the less powerful GPU will be used primarily.

    If there are two graphics cards, which I think is the case, try disabling the AMD card in Device Manager (since it is not really used). It must ask the system to turn off the map and do not use it. It may just be me reading too much into it, but it seemed that the battery has lasted longer, when I disabled the AMD card and used the Intel card only on my laptop when I upgraded to Windows 8.

    3. my driver for AMD radeon 7400 M Windows has stopped this device because device reported problems. (Code 43)

    This link is what I found when searching for the site of AMD for Windows 8 mobility drivers. It is more of a generic rather than drivers verification tool
    http://goo.GL/YjFFZ

    I could find this former unofficial Preview of Windows 8 client driver.
    http://goo.GL/XvFWy

    The consumer preview release pilot isn't an official driver and the absence of an official driver of Windows 8 for the AMD 7400 m GPU may indicate that management in Windows 8 has been eliminated by AMD. You can try to send an email for verification because it's speculation at this point.

    If you do not have the recovery disks and don't have not ordered them, then the best option will be to order the recovery disks for back to Windows 7. Driver in Windows 8 architecture is different from what used to earlier versions of Windows, which means that some functions will not correctly work in Windows 8.

    I had the same problems with my laptop when I upgraded to Windows 8, but mine was not certified for Windows 8 and I do not expect it to be, because it is more than two years. I hope that this will be a different result for you in the end.
