CMOS battery dead in Satellite M40. What should do?

My cmos battery seems dead as my date and time settings are not retained.
It is true that it is not easily replaceable part, only that it is soldered on the motherboard? If that is so the solution and the likely cost to replace it? (Im in the United Kingdom)

Thank you
Kieran

Hello Kieran

You are right. Replacing the CMOS battery is not so easy on laptops. The whole notebook must be disassembled to gain access, but replacement is possible.
In any case, prior to do any start your laptop connected to the power supply and leave 24 hours to load the CMOS battery. Maybe it helps.

Check please the 112 page in user s manual RTC battery 24 hours (System).

Good bye

    And maybe you also know where to find the CMOS battery in the laptop, so I did not need to look.
    Please don't tell me that speak to the authorised dealer... I won't do that! :-)

    Hello

    I guess that the CMOS battery is not replaceable because it s often welded/fixed on the motherboard.
    What you can do is to charge this battery.
    In order to load the CMOS battery, adapter and the main battery must be connected to the laptop. Most laptop computer should be ONE for all 18hours.
    Then the CMOS battery needs to be recharged.

    Thank you!
    ALE.

    Hey Buddy

    To replace the CMOS battery, you will need to disassemble the whole laptop.
    You want to risk that?

    I mean the whole notebook must be dismantled in the right direction and you use the right tools and the right order
    It's not easy and I would say that that's impossible without additional manuals and hardware experience

    I recommend contacting a mobile technician, that it would be the best way because this disassembly is really complicated and there is a high risk that damage you other expensive parts like motherboard or display

    PS; Why do you want to repalce the CMOS battery? Have you tried to recharge it again?

    Hi David

    Do you need help? What you mean exactly, step by step disassembly procedure? Maintenance manuals are not public documents and I'm really interested if anyone can offer assistance to you.

    When you want to swap the portable RTC battery almost entire must be dismantled. Believe me that is not the procedure of 10 steps and to do something like this, you need the disassembly instructions. I recommend you to check how it will be service charges because that when they disassemble the laptop they can clean at the same time and the laptop will be as good as new.

    If you want to do it yourself, it is very important to use authorized by Toshiba replacement batteries or real. Battery wrong installation may cause a battery explosion, or other damage.

    Please be careful about this.

  • Satellite A50 cmos battery replacement

    Hi Chang

    Replacing the CMOS battery on laptops is not as easy as on the desktop. If you want to do it alone you have to disassemble the laptop and you should not do if you have no experience with it. Before do you it alone, please contact your local dealer or service and ask how much the replacement costs.

    Believe me, that a small mistake may be responsible that unity don t start anymore, and then you can have a real problem. If you want to do it alone and at your own risk poster again.

  • Satellite P300 - 219 PSPCCE - what should be the optimal heat of CPU?

    Hello there;

    I use for my laptop Satellite P300-219 (PSPCCE) newly bought about a week now. When you type I can't help noticing, the place where I put my left hand, I want to say the empty space to the left of the touchpad, feels much too hot. I looked for the manual and I have learned that it is where the CPU.

    Then I searched for a way to measure the heat of CPU, and after having tested some programs with too many different measures, I led to believe that the 'CPUID hardware Manager"gives the best results, after you set the correct value TJUNCTION.

    Here are the steps I get today while typing this message:

    ACPI hardware monitor
    Temperature 0 45note ° C (112 ° F) [0xC6E] (THRM)

    Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T6400 hardware monitor
    Temperature 0 56a ° C (° F 132a) 0 x [31] (Core #0)
    Temperature 1 54a ° C (° F 129a) 0 x [33] (Core #1).

    Hardware Hitachi HTS543232L9S monitor
    Temperature 0 37â? Â ° C (98A? Â ° F) (0 x 25) (Assembly)

    From now you mind, windows taskbar indicates that I use roughly about 15 & 35% CPU. After a little use, I even though the CPU heats by a maximum of 69a ° C.

    The truth is, I don't know what to do with these readings, is my laptop which works very well, or he has problems? Could someone please tell me what should be the optimal level of heat for a P300, or where I can learn?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In my opinion, everything is ok with your laptop, buddy and the temperatures are quite good. Don t be to worry about this!
    If your laptop could overheat, it would have to close or freeze immediately. If this isn't the case, everything is ok with the temperatures.

    What you can do is to change the cooling method in Windows power management. Here, you change between performance and battery optimized cooling.

    By the way: you should also clean your laptop at any time. I clean my laptop every 3-4 months using a jet of compressed air. This blows the dust from the cooling fans.

  • Compaq Presario S4500UK won't start after disconnecting from the wall outlet. What is a CMOS battery problem?

    Reconstruction of recent software with HARD drive internal extra (March 2011) under Windows XP/Linux dual-boot installation worked fine.  CD/DVD RW drive, started giving errors so replaced cyclic redundancy check drive a week ago.  All still OK.  Change of electricity supplied and increases energy use conciousness off the machine to the outlet of the overnight after normal shut down.  Machine will not re-start not in the morning.  Not load BIOS; all lights came briefly and then die after 3-4 seconds with power still led on.  You can get a similar effect by plugging the keyboard into the PS2 Mouse Jack I did once!

    After 20 minutes or so try all kinds of things managed to boot from the CD of Linux.  Shut down/restarted and everything is fine so I don't switch off at the wall.  Also seems to be OK after brief power off for 5-10 seconds but the problem persists with any long disconnection.  It seems that after 10 to 15 minutes from power-on and 2-3 attempts to restart, BIOS comes up and all is well, but he stopped in the middle of a start of Windows or Linux on a couple of occasions.

    Am I right in thinking the problem might be the result of a dead CMOS battery?  The reason that I ask is that the clock seems to keep time OK and there is no apparent problem with the BIOS once it loads.

    Any help/advice would be much appreciated.  New config info below.

    I don't have all the answers so I went forward with replacing the CMOS battery, but that did not help.  The problem is also obvious if I turn it off and leave it for an hour or more before trying to restart even if I do not unplug the wall plug.  It seems to take about 15-20 will start again before it fires.  I would be really grateful for any clues as to what is wrong.

    OK, guys.  I finally solved the problem.

    After you have calculated the power needed for the config curent, I discovered that, using various ways to estimate, he walked between 321W - 383W.  It was pretty weird that the only thing I added was a HARD drive and a memory stick and the wisdom of the other guys on this forum, it's that there is a lot of capacity within the factory installed power of 250W.  Yes and here's the rub: the modern replacement devices usually have upgraded capabilities and use more power.  And so when I replaced the drive CD/DVD RW added a few watts, as the sectoral approach of the floppy drive.  It appears also that the optical USB mouse needs more juice than the good old PS2.

    I just installed a new 450W PSU Powercool and Bingo!  The processor is faster, too.

    Hope that my pain and trauma saves someone else having to suffer the same.

  • my battery drains very quickly even when not in service, what should I do to fix that?

    my battery drains very quickly even when not in service, what should I do to fix that?

    Hello rabeeha hafeez robi.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that your iPhone battery has been draining more than expected. I use my iPhone all day, so I know how important the battery life can be. Surely, I understand your concern, as much as it seems as if the phone is not in use.

    First, I recommend that you check your settings to see what is using your battery life. You can do this by going to settings > battery. In some cases substantive activity of the app may affect the battery life. This means that the battery is used by an application while it is in the background. The link below provides additional information and advice to help maximise your battery performance.

    I use my MacBook Air as a desktop computer. Should I leave the charger plugged all the time or should I drain the battery and then recharge? What is the best for the battery?

    Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.

    If you keep the computer always connected, make sure that at least twice a month

    Run it on battery until battery charge level falls to about 40-50%.

    Please don't completely discharge the battery. Discharge the battery completely will reduce wear and tear on the battery.

    "The question is often asked:" should I disconnect my laptop from the mains when not in service? Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary because as soon as the lithium-ion battery is full, a properly functioning charger will stop the load and load the pad will only engage when the battery voltage drops to a low level. Most of the users do not remove AC power, and this practice is safe. »

  • Satellite U200: What's the best way to use a battery?

    Sorry to ask a stupid question but the U200 is my first laptop ever.

    Now, what is the best thing to do, exercise like that or do I have to wait until the battery is half empty or so & then connect the charger?
    I think that it is not good to run the laptop with a full battery & charger connected, until guy do you say when you want to use your laptop for 6 hours or more?

    Hello

    > believe that it is not good to run the laptop with a full battery & charger permanently connected.

    Well, the new generation of portable and battery allows to use the battery and the power adapter at the same time.
    There are no bad effect memory with batteries at the beginning!

    So my laptop is connected to the power supply and the battery is still connected.
    It has no negative influence on the performance of the battery. But you should know that there is a limit of battery charge.
    After that all 500times completely procedures of load and discharge, the battery will slowly discharge performance. This is nothing unusual.
