Hello

Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
eraser (do not use this, if your battery is fine slots - just clean up the edges of the knife which fit in)
them and be careful). Batteries are old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
Check with the support of the machine system, and many of them have on line forums.

New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload then less than 30%
However on a laptop that not extend their life a lot. Best is to use the a/c adapter
When this is possible.

I use the free version of BatteryBar to monitor my battery. Click on the green button on the

  • Satellite M100 will not charge the battery while the computer is on

    Hi all

    I have a M100 and the battery won't charge while it is running.
    The battery starts to charge when I plug in the adapter and the orange light comes on. 10 seconds later it stops charging.
    If the battery has more than 90% of the costs it wll the rest very well.
    I have three batteries that all do the same thing on this computer. All three batteries are working fne on my other M series.

    When the computer is off, it loads very well.

    Why is it so?

    Hello

    I think that the problem of charging the battery is about the problem of portable equipment.
    Maybe it's something s wrong with electronic power supply or another part on the motherboard.
    I doubt that the problem could be solved by updating the BIOS but you should definitely check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS update and test again
    If that does not help, then you should get in touch with a local service for verification of equipment technician

    But note; If it s the question of the motherboard, the motherboard needs to be replaced and it would be a costly affair

  • Tecra A5 - charges the battery only when the computer is turned off

    Hello

    For a few days, my Tecra A5 has started to beep and stop it (like when the battery is low) then that it was connected to the power supply adapter.

    I finally realized that when the computer is plugged in, the battery discharge and does not use the power supply to recharge.

    On the other hand, if I turn off the computer, the battery starts to charge.
    I replaced the battery a few months ago, so I think it's still OK.

    The charger would be defective? Seems strange since it can always recharge the battery when the computer is turned off.

    Thanks in advance for your contributions.

    > The charger is defective?

    Theoretically; Yes, but could also be electronic supply on the motherboard is affected, but on the first stage of the AC adapter should be verified and laptop needs to be tested with AC adapter new, good work.

  • Acer aspire 5740-6378 will no longer charge the battery under Windows 7

    The title sums it up.  I have a new computer that beginning yesterday will not charge the battery.  I didn't have problems with battery or power systems before that.

    * original title - (sector, do not load) with 21% of battery. It has been so for 24 hours after several reboots. It is a 2 month old acer aspire 5740-6378. Is there a way to reset the power control software? So far, he has played very well.*

    Managed to find a solution that worked for me.   I write this to help those who like me have sought a forum where this problem has been fixed.  I sent to acer tech support and they finally gave me this procedure:

    Could you please go through the following steps to perform a power drain: 1. unplug the adapter from the laptop. 2. remove the battery. 3. press in and hold the button for about 30 seconds, then release. (You won't see anything happen) 4. connect the power adapter to the laptop. Make sure that the power adapter is plugged in. 5. Start the computer as usual. 6. After Windows starts, insert the battery. I hope this helps someone! Mike

  • Satellite M40 does not seem to charge the battery beyond a certain level

    Just a brief explanation of my work.

    I make repairs pc and laptop, replacement of jack, BGA/brazing repairs etc.;
    However computer have always baffled me. I have a Toshiba M40, although I know that this problem is not specific to this model.

    The laptop does not charge the battery beyond a certain level at the moment its impasse on 41%, it says loading in windows but do not go anywhere.
    I saw other portable that stick onto the other percentages 99%, 70% etc.

    I tried to completely discharge the battery (on windows) and reload (for Windows), and also tried to unload and reload not in o/s, if anything they seem to have made things worse as initially the issue of charge level was approximately 50% and more.

    By mistake the laptop wasn't for awhile so the battery flat, which probably did not help as I understand its best to store 40% battery when not in use.

    Any ideas what the problem is and if theres any way to revive this battery?

    Hello

    In my opinion, the problem is related to the breakdown of battery.
    I'm don't know how old your battery is but eventually should be replaced.
    After a long period of use, the battery loses the own performance and must be replaced.
    This is nothing unusual and often to used batteries.

  • Satellite A300-1 MB - do not charge the battery

    Hello, a friend of mine gave me the laptop a300-1 MB and it has a problem. It is not the battery.

    I changed the battery and the charger with another laptop that work well, but they have not worked in the mine, but the only way to charge the battery must have the laptop off, put the ac charger, remove the battery and reconnect the battery. Then he is in charge. In which case I have remove the charger and connect it to the laptop it stops again loading.

    are there solutions to this?

    Hey,.

    If you can only charge the battery so that the AC/DC adapter is plugged in, I think that the problem is hardware related. I mean that if the battery will be recharged while the laptop is turned off, the battery seems to be ok and even the AC/DC adapter. Theoretically, it could only be linked to the motherboard

    I think you should contact the nearest authorized service provider. Guys can check your laptop computer and help you to swap the motherboard.

  • Satellite L500-12V - trendy but do not charge the battery

    Hello

    I have problem with my battery. Says this computer system is "plugged in, not charging." When I click on the battery info it says available at 26%. When I try to start the computer without the charger is plugged in, it does not work. If I plug in charger when the computer is turned on, it is turn it off. Is my battery dead already or it is problem with charger or something else?

    Sorry for my bad English.

    Hello

    What battery LED on your laptop? If you plugin the AC/DC adapter is this light on or off?
    Can you charge the battery while the laptop is turned off?

    Generally if Notepad starts with the charger plugged in the charger works properly and that the problem must be the battery itself or in the worst case the control of load on the motherboard :(

    On the Toshiba site I found an interesting article:

  • Nex6 do not charge the battery

    I recently bought a Nex 6. After charging the battery, I went out to take pictures. I used it until the device displays stack "exhausted" and me has failed to take more pictures.

    Once back, I charged all night and the battery is still charged. the camera always shows 'battery exhausted', I noticed that every time it when I connect the charger micro USB to camera for this, seeing him load a few seconds then turns off. There is no flicker.

    Can I have a bad battery? I just bought two days back so I don't think that the battery is old.
    No idea how can I charge the battery?

    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,

    Make sure that you use the provided micro USB cable for camera NEX6 to load.
    Additionally, make sure that the battery is correctly inserted in the camera.

    Remove the battery and reinsert.
    If the charge indicator doesn't light up or flashes during charging, make sure that the metal contacts are free of any foreign body that can prevent the load. Use a dry cloth to wipe the dust or any other material on the battery terminals.

    Turn the switch to OFF while loading the battery. If the switch is on, the camera is unable to charge the battery.
    If you have tried to charge the battery by connecting to a computer, then try to connect the AC adapter provided to the micro USB cable and a power outlet.
    After charging for a few minutes, try to turn on the camera to check if the battery is properly charged.

    If the issue is still unresolved, the service may be required. Click the link status & repair for repair options available.

  • Equium A60-155 has stopped charging the battery

    Hey all
    Can anyone help?

    For no apparent reason my A60 has stopped charging the battery, it works very well with the cord in but take out and matrices of the computer. Energy saving says that it does not load but defaults to full power with the power cord in. I tried to remove the battery for a while and change the power settings, but nothing helped. This happened to someone else? I have to buy a new battery?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    To me, this looks like a charging problem and it can be caused by power supply to electronic malfunction. Perhaps only the battery is dead. However the best solution is to contact the Toshiba service partner because he can start the diagnostic test and then give you an appropriate response.

  • New Satellite A100 - charge the battery before turning on?

    Hello

    I'm new in the world of laptops and I will get an entry level Toshiba A100
    Today, however, I am worried as to the time, I first want to charge the battery for 8 or so hours before starting the machine for the first time?

    I ask because I heard that you can compromise the ability to charge using the battery when it is
    already low (the 1st time) and configuration of the laptop, is it true?

    Your help is very appreciated.

    Hello

    The fact is that the new laptops also come with new batteries and the batteries are empty. All laptop manufacturers offer portable computers with batteries.
    It s not unusual State.
    Of course, you can connect the AC adapter and start the laptop computer. While working on the laptop, the battery may charge.

    I m not an expert but I have 2 laptops.
    In two books, the battery while AC is plugged.
    I think the latest battery technology allows to use the battery and the power adapter at the same time and it affects doesn t the battery strong performance.

    But my 9 years into the first computer battery laptop doesn't work anymore. He died after about 2 years of use. Now, it lasts for about 1 min, then it s empty.
    But the battery is old and it is nothing unusual.

    Your battery is going to die also sooner or later, but in my s TI doesn't matter if the battery is inserted and that the AC adapter is plugged in or not.

    Hello

    It could be a number of reasons of a battery discharged to a problem with the charging circuit.

    You neglected to mention which version of Windows you are using.

    You can create a detailed report on the State of the battery to double check the battery status.

    1. go to Start / all programs / Accessories. Click on the command prompt and select run as administrator.

    2 in the command prompt window, copy / paste the following command.

    powercfg-energy-output %userprofile%\desktop\energy-report.html

    Press ENTER.

    Wait for the command to complete (usually about 2 minutes).

    This create a file named energy - report.html and place it on your desktop.

    3 go to your desktop and double-click the file to open.

    Scroll to the bottom for the battery: battery information section.

    You will see:

    Xxxxx full last Charge

    Laptop is about 2 years old.  Running on the Windows 8 origninal accompanying.  Had the same problem when it was purchased.  He sent to Acer.  Returned with no report / Details.  Has worked very well. Until recently.

    Noticed that seeing orange lights up when it feels like load and stops at 35% load.  Load is something dark, don't miss especially.

    Tried:

    Stick a PIN in the "battery reset" hole on the back

    Uninstalling the 'API Microsoft' battery

    Remove the battery to see if it'll work without it (it has an internal battery)

    Of course Acer won't help now since the warranty has expired.

    Please notify.  Thank you.
