  • Computer laptop keyboard and mouse does not work (updated Bios and took the batttery)

  • low power mode is on but the battery is full

    My Iphone 5 c run 9.3.1.  When I switch on the low power mode, it restricts my auto-lock to 30 seconds (it is grayed out).  The problem is with the low power mode on, my battery availability is 98% (appears in yellow), but the low power mode should be committed only to 20% or decrease of availability.  How do I fix it so low power does not come on until I get low on battery reserves?  Thank you!

    No matter how much energy batttery you left, if you activate the Low Power mode, the indicator lights yellow. My iPhone 5s has 80% battery left and I turned on the low power and the yellow light.

  • Tecra A1 does not light: amber, blinking

    My Tecra A1 used power on. Instead I just get a flashing amber power light.

    I tried the things:
    1. remove the AC adapeter
    1. Pwr light still flashes: the computer does not turn on

    2. remove the battery and the AC adpter. Insertion of the battery and pressing the power button
    2. when I remove the battery flashing disappears, when the battery is replaced, the computer won't turn on

    3. remove the power cord and batttery: replace the battery put then the cord - hit the button / stop
    3A. right when I reinstall the power cord, the power button blinks orange. Start button / stop does nothing.

    Only, the light blinks (or does nothing for that mater) when the power cord is in.

    In advance, thank you for the help.

    Hello

    Try to start your Tecra without battery just connect to the power supply.

    It is possible that this is a problem with the battery. If the power supply microcontroller detects an error lamp DC IN sends a blink code. Reading this code it is possible to know what the problem is.

    If you think the battery is defect contact service partner.

    So far, my battery has been recharged effectively

    and kept the load when unused for at least 5 days. When I

    minutes, anyway it was never orange flashing.

    Until recently, with the AC adapter disconnected with my recharged cable

  • Satellite A100 - will not charge the battery

    Hello

    I have ned to help. My Satellite A100 will not charge the battery. He works the power adaptor for the led indicates charging status, battery shows 1% of loading tatus information, but none does change - no loading any time. When disconnected everything just stops off like normal desktop.

    I've already put battery in and out, made upgrades to the antivir software, makes Toshiba controls, tests, but what ever he did did not any change. If there is no way for restoration of battery how to check what the problem is I have no second battery or AC I can always buy new batttery but I don't know if the old one is broken and weather new would work properly?

    Best regards
    pawelg

    Hi pawelg,

    I agree with the user above. The battery can be charged only up to 500 times, and after that, it must be replaced. I think it's the case now, I mean that everything works correctly on the AC adapter so I think that the battery must be the reason for this.

    By the way: you can buy a new battery to an authorized service provider. ;)

  • Satellite C660: Wireless Internet when remove the power supply drops

    Hello
    new Tosh Satellite C660 laptop works fine when the power supply cord is connected, soon as directed power is removed drops internet connection, usually to the second web page (the first web page is accessible, failure occurs usually when you try to access a new page)

    When I connect the power cable, internet connectivity returns as usual!

    I've been on the Advanced page setings power management,
    I have power settings "balanced" set up, and for the realtek card wireless put the plug and batttery power to maaximum settings (before they were to the maximum for diet and balanced for battery) even if it has no impact.

    The connection between the laptop and the wireless box seems 'excellent' level, the internet is the element which is a failure.

    I use the standard realteck card from the laptop (Realtek RTL8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC) a D-Link Wireless N Router (DIR-615 ver1.00) and standard Modem provided by Virginmedia who bring them my services to wide band.

    All suggestions are welcome!

  • Equium L10: Problem with the main battery and battery RTC

    Hello

    I have the Toshiba Equium L10 and it is about 14 months old and I have problems with the battery and how much time it takes after a full charge. I also have problems with the RTC battery and an ERROR 0271: check date and time settings message when I turn on the laptop.

    Regarding the battery, I can fully charge it upward in about 3 hours, but when I start to use it, apparently in the last few hours around one and a half or so and then it needs to be recharged. I can have down for about 40 minutes and then turn it off and come back later or in a day or two. How long should I expect from a fully charged battery?

    About the batttery RTC, it really becomes a pain and I only started to get the message of the ERROR 0271 start-up, in recent weeks. I can charge the battery pack and then leave for a few days, but when I turn it on, I get the message ERROR 0271 on the date and time incorrect. Surely after a full charge, the RTC battery should last longer than a few days?

    The manual says that if the RTC battery is exhausted or becomes weak, you must charge the battery of the CCF for 24 hours, in a different part of this manual indicates between 24 and 48 hours, but how can load you for long when the sections concerning the charging battery pack status after charging the battery you unplug the power adapter because leaving connected will shorten the life expectancy of the Battery Pack. So, how we can charge the battery of the CCF for 24 to 48 hours if we shouldn't leave the AC adapter plugged in once the battery is charged - which is nearly three hours. Suggestions about these problems would be appreciated.

    Besides we all know that it is easy to change the CMOS/RTC battery in your desktop base unit, but is it easy to change in a Toshiba Equium L10?

    Concerning

    Brave0

    Hi Brave0,

    The normal recommendation for the CMOS (RTC) battery is to leave the laptop connected to the power supply at least 12 hours when the main battery is fully charged. The charging circuit is going to hijack the current to the load automatically RTC battery and no current will be forwarded to your main battery.

    Recommendation do not leave the power adapter is plugged in the main battery is fully charged is really only applicable to older laptops that used no batteries Li - ion and therefore they had to be completely discharged before recharging to avoid any effect 'memory' of the battery.

    With modern Li-ion batteries, it is quite safe to leave the battery when fully charged and still power the laptop from the AC adapter. The charging circuit will pass all the battery charge if it is fully charged.

    Kind regards

  • HP G72-250US screen remains black on power. hear the fans and light is on but no go

    I work with a HP G72-250US laptop and using Windows 7 64-bit Intel Core.

    Mhz core 2 [email protected]

    Sorry for the long story. Thank you for using Gheagyrn! me. What is the mother board or the hard drive?

    Replaced the screen due to the vertical and horizontal lines in color. Computer worked sometimes normal. I thought it was fixed but then while doing a HP Diagnostics program the computer says shut down because the situation batttery likely to damage the computer. I tested the AC adapter. I installed a new battery and as a first step, it still worked. I have updated and scanned with AVG & Malwarebytes. Do you have another HP diagnosis and at one point was told to restart. Never, he was still alive at this point.

    There is no switch on the led power and W/LAN (12 F). Blue lights run on times indicating Cap locks and locks numbers are engaged. I did a full factory restore before it came to this point and updated bios (for F 37) and downloaded the updates of graphics chipsets too. (after the screen is installed) The only thing it does now, it's making noise at startup and power led lights now light guard cycling. (light, light on) every ten seconds.

    Hello Gheagyrn, welcome to the forums of HP.

    I see that after replacing the screen, you have since fallen on an issue where the notebook does not start. The display is empty and have a blinking light. I will do my best to help you with this problem.

    I recommend starting with these documents:
    Computer does not start and the lights blink or the computer will beep
    Troubleshooting of black screens with no start-up or start-up error message

    These should test you the material to see if something specific causing the error. The document can also help determine if there is a code of error being indicated by your laptop.

    Start with the above, please let me know the results.
    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Cyber-shot DSC-P100 pic view very blue sky

    My camera is 10 years (Cyber-shot DSC-P100 and until that time, no problem.)

    Problem: When you try to view the photos from the memory card or take those pictures become almost 'ghostly' very light blue or as an old "negative." I bought a new batttery lithium thinking there had to be a but prob continues. It turns out that the battery is fine. But the problem persists.

    Background: a month ago I was taking pictures of friends sports game and I accidentally pushed the movie mode. I tried to change back to still images, but not able to do. If I pushed a worng framework without my glasses... do not know how to trouble shoot since I can not find the manual.

    So two questions.

    Q1 How can I activate video recording mode?

    Q2 How can I get rid of the mode clear blue appearance on all my photos?

    Thank you

    bbear1

    I presume it is the camera?
    http://www.cameras.co.UK/details/Sony-DSC-P100.cfm

    You have a dial to the Middle top, which has all of your pictures modes, an excerpt, and film. Probably you have it shot on film, turn as well as the dial until the marker bit on the left dashboard points to P or the small picture with the Green camera for fully automatic mode. This should take you off video recording.

    For the blue tint, you may accidentally changed the white balance.

    By pressing the menu button should show the standard settings - look for WB (white balance), and you can put it back on AWB (auto white balance).
    I hope that this should be the cause of your ghostly photos.

    If this isn't the case, it could be the sensor is dying, but I guess that's not.

    Good luck

  • portable computer does not support. Yet battery monitor says "plugged in, not support.» What are some options?

    my laptop is connected, and yet power monitor says "plugged in, does not support." What are some solutions?

    Hi Joseph,.

    Something similar just happened to me. The first time they fixed it, they have replaced the adapter and the problem is solved. 5 months later it started to happen again and this time they replaced the battery, the motherboard and the milling table (thanks to heaven, it is still under warranty). Fortunately, thanks to the new adapters, battery started to load and the experience does not seem to damage it in any way (but you should keep your eyes on it anyway just in case).

    How they were able to say on my laptop - a Dell E1705 (other than just experience and common sense) was to go into the BIOS (starts, it should be a brief Flash on the screen telling you how to enter the BIOS setup or menu of the BIOS (usually F2) and check the battery information. He showed that the power adapter 'unidentified' instead "90W" list which should be when it is working properly and that the battery was not complete and not charging well plugged. They changed the motherboard and the roll the second time because it could also cause the adapter is not being recognized by the battery (or battery not not recognize the adapter).

    The beep is caused by power and its configured settings to warn you of a low and critical battery condition. In a normal situation, the computer will work right next to the power adapter and does not the battery (it is a way to help maintain the battery life is to run periodically and refill if we leave normally plugged in most of the time). If you remove the batttery entirely, the laptop will power? If this isn't the case, it is certainly at least the adapter or the motherboard. Eventually the battery will get if low, that he's going to sleep or hibernation, or the system stops (you should shut down normally before him to cold shutdown like that). If If, then I expect the tone to go further because it will detect is no longer a low battery charge, because there is no battery - but then you'll want to be sure to use either a battery backup UPS, or at least a surge protector otherwise already in place because if you lose the laptop battery will crash hard and this is not good for her.

    I'm using 32 bit Vista Business SP2 and in Control Panel / sounds / Sounds there is an option for low battery alert. The default to have this. In this case, you can turn off to avoid the beep. In addition, you can go into Control Panel / Power Options, click the plan settings and click on battery. It will provide you with levels of low battery and critical battery and you provide measures to be taken in such a case. If you are unable to operate the system without battery and it is so weak that the alerts began, you probably fell to 11-5% remaining. You can adjust actions to nothing for bass and stop to criticism that 5% is about as close as you want to get to the point where you can hang. Then, you just need to wait until it is repaired and the appropriate parts are replaced.

    Even if you have still some life in it, it is best to contact the manufacturer (they the some have the right parts) or a computer of reputable workshop to get a good diagnosis (perhaps by phone at first), a determination of what must be fixed, the applicable fees, schedule, if it is still under any kind of warranty , and what needs to be done in which order of repair. They can find the adapter is OK and it is just the battery (or vice-versa or two or more). But that's essentially where you need start.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
