• Equium A100 - battery will last no more than 2-3 minutes

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my 1.5 battery Equium A100 years. It will last no more than 2-3 minutes until the computer shuts down.

  I tried to solve the problem with the instructions found on Toshiba FAQ without a bit of luck.
  Someone on another forum said that many computer brands portable one specific software to solve problems of charging by load/uncharging slowly.

  Anyone here have a glue if Toshiba offers this software?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  My cell phone 6 year old runs properly but only with the power adapter plugged.
  The battery is too old and it lasts only 2 min max. Then the battery is empty and the portable computer shuts down if it is not connected to the network.

  In my opinion, this problem is definitely related to the fault of the battery and in my opinion, that the battery must be replaced!

  > On another forum, someone has said that many brands computer laptop specific software to solve problems of charging by load/uncharging slowly.
  I m don't know what software you want to say, but on many laptops Toshiba, you will find a Toshiba Power Saver. This tool controls the power options and can help to save the battery. But this tool will NOT solve your problem!

• Equium A100-338 - battery power problem

  Hello

  My daughter has an Equium A100-338 bought England under Vista Home Premium 15 months ago. He has recently developed a problem with the battery life, which in theory should mean the replacement of the battery, but I'm not so sure!

  The battery quickly descends to say 80% 6 minutes remaining, about 20 minutes after a full charge. Then put it in charge that it retrieves to 100% in about 20 minutes. The notebook gets rather warm below, but I think it's probably normal, that old equium of my other daughter gets warm anyway.

  Someone has encountered this problem, or is it just that he needs a new battery? I would have thought that it would have lasted longer, the other Equium battery is still going strong and is one year more!

  Thank you
  Dave

  Hello

  Hmm I think that you battery is not dead and can be used much longer than you think.

  I see that you have Vista on your laptop. This OS needs more resources for laptop as the Win XP for example. This would mean that laptops preinstalled Vista would be shorter on the battery as the laptop with Windows XP.

  Finally, and especially the battery working time is highly dependent on the use of the laptop.
  If you play games or watch movies DVD battery discharges faster.

• Information about the life of the battery of Equium A100-306?

  Hello!
  I have a Toshiba Equium A100-306 & am pleased with it.
  Of course, I want to protect my investment & having been, in the past, concerned about battery 'memory', I was happy to find that this machine works with a battery lithium-ion - & everywhere I look I see words to the effect that:

  "There is no memory and no regular bike not needed to extend the life of the battery.

  I also found: a lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 charge/discharge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than complete discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no memory problem when unexpected expenses. »

  Except, that is, Toshiba (citing the manual) say: "at least once a month, run the computer on battery power until the battery is completely discharged, then discharge the battery."
  Then, they suggest "once a week" to ensure maximum capacity.
  You will understand why I am confused? I would really appreciate someone stating the above.
  Thanks for your time. Cheers, Peter.

  Hello

  Perhaps they have not properly updated their textbooks? I Don t know, but is the only thing I can tell you, that new technologies in mobile systems such as yours are very modern and I think toshiba had a cool technology into their machines, so that systems of remain "without worry".

  I suggest you read this article on the type battery that is in your machine so that you can understand the best technology:

  Hope I could give you an idea...

• Equium A100 - do I need a new battery?

  I have an Equium A100 all of a sudden it has stopped working. I bought a new power adapter, but this does not solve it. If I remove the battery and plug it into the area I get a little flash to power led but while they come out, you think that I need a new battery?

  If the laptop works when it is plugged directly into the sector without the battery inserted?

  I would appreciate your help.

  Hi mate,

  I doubt that a new battery can solve this problem. I want to say normally connected to your laptop AC adapter, you should work correctly, abnormal or even without battery.

  In my opinion it s associated with another party. Maybe it s a problem of motherboard or something else.

  You should ask a technician for laptop help. They can help you to solve this problem and diagnose the reason for this.

• Re: Equium A100-027 battery does not charge

  I have an Equium A100-027 aged from 4 months which worked flawlessly until last night. My wife was using it when it ran out of power and we do charge again. The box on the cable becomes hot butno power seems to go to the computer laptop itself. Any ideas please?

  Hello

  Can you can start and run the notebook without the battery and only connected to the adapter?
  The AC is light on?

  If not then the problem could be linked to the defective sector adapter and I recommend you check it by a Toshiba ASP.

  I enjoyed some comments!

• Alarm of battery low battery/criticism on Equium A100-027

  I bought an Equium A100-027 running on Vista Home Premium this Feb. Since then, I installed some software, for example a software phone Nokia, bluetooth, Virus-A drivers & all updates from Ms.

  When the battery is low or critical, I get no sound alert, despite this option checked in the Advanced Power Options settings and using the template to default sounds Win.

  The card sound & speakers work certainly I get sound notifications of Win and can play CDs, etc.

  Is there a driver/software that can be reinstalled to get this working again as system restore would only let me go back a month.

  Thanks for any help,
  Markus

  Hello

  I saw your post before, and I understand that you need help.
  I can give you the following suggestion:

  -Updated to the latest version of the bios. (Check this site out: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_bios.jsp?service=EU&mode=allMachines)

  -Pick up your machine and update all THE drivers/tools/etc, but before installing some 'foreign' software, check if the "beep" is working properly (for things like go here):
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp)

  -Install other software (Nokia Manager, etc.) and check after each newly installed software, if it still works. If after you install specific software, the "beep" doesn´t work anymore, then you know where the installation problem and you have some good software troubleshooting. ;)

  If you have questions: just after :)

  The battery itself is quite new in terms of use-life, his laptop computer that failed!

  It's the wrong kind.

  Been declared as Toshiba equium laptop battery but it is of course many variants.
  My battery model number is: PA3399U-2BRS 10.8V 4000mAh

• Equium A100-147 would not start

  Equium A100-147 would not start. Only the lights next to the CapsLock F10 F11 keys are on. When the switch is pushed the lights disappear back only after about 15 seconds.

  Help, please.

  Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery. After doing this press the power for 30 seconds. Wait a few moments, connect the power adapter only and try to start your laptop.

  What happens when you do this?

• Equium A100-338 display has stopped working

  Hello

  I have exactly the same problem on my Equium A100-338 loaded with Vista.
  The display has stopped working (he went to a poorly lit black screen) after I had rebooted my machine even if the computer and the hard drive seems to work Ok with the lights on. I tried the usual elimination of power and the battery and restart it tricks, but after initial success it has stopped working after a few weeks.

  Once I had the computer operation that I only closed it down in the mode 'sleep', and he continued to work for a month until that he should be released after a windows update. I then plugged an external display and use of the Fn + F5 key got the external display running.
  Low and behold, the screen of the laptop started working again as if it had been "energised".

  I took what the laptop screen was OK and that he would not need replacement.
  The laptop worked OK until it needed to restart another when the unrest started again. The screens are gray on the monitor and the laptop now.

  These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
  Now, I bought another laptop Toshiba Satellite to connect to the forums trying to find out if my original computer can be repaired
  These problems seem to be quite common on Toshiba computers.

  Any help members would be welcome.

  > These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
  For the most part a graphics card driver must be reinstalled or updated to a newer version it can also be a problem of OS which means that the new facility could help
  But try to update the display driver

• Equium A100 died, how much will it cost to repair?

  Equium A100 - 02L
  Model PSAAQE-00P00KAV number
  OS - Vista

  I just got this laptop borrowed a few weeks ago because my computer is dead.
  I don't think he left on warranty.

  It worked well until one night he refused to turn on, it has not been abandoned or whatever it is spilled on it, she had perfectly good antivirus (AVG Internet Security) and was working perfectly before this.
  It lights up just, the fan is on full speed and the processor light in front comes on for a few seconds and then turns off. Nothing comes on the screen, he's just dead so there is no hope to get into the BIOS.
  I tried to re-seating the RAM and that you can't find an easy way to access the CPU so I left alone. I don't think that there is nothing wrong with the HD or BIOS would continue to operate, I'm guessing that something is wrong with the main card.

  So any ideas how to fix this problem or how much it would cost to get it fixed?

  Hello

  You can try to remove the battery and the power adapter for several hours as described here:
  [What steps must be followed if your Toshiba laptop does not start? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=21]

  In the worst case it s really a hardware malfunction and I assume that this has something to do with the motherboard, but I think that this should be verified to an authorized service because they have professional tools to check it.

  I doubt it s something wrong with the HARD drive or the BIOS. To me, it looks like a serious hardware problem, but that s my personal opinion

• Checksum error message incorrect A250 aftetr Bios Update on Equium A100

  I received the message 'bad checksum A250' to restart after update Bios on Equium A100 - psaa4e Windows XP home sp3.

  Update 20070709121820 installed BIOS downloaded through this Web site.
  I installed directly from the downloaded file.
  System seems to not operate normally if have I messed up anything?

  Hello

  This message always appears during the clean boot procedure or it appeared only once?

  Generally 'bad checksum' error message if the CMOS battery does not work correctly.

  But I have no idea why you get this message after update BIOS... Anyway if the laptop works correctly after updating the BIOS then you should t be worried.

  See you soon

  Ive read that theres a method of emergency crisis of flashing, is possible to run it on this laptop?

  Thank you

  Hello

  This looks like a malfunction of the motherboard, you can enter in the setup of the BIOS for example? If Yes, load default settings then save & exit it.

  If you can t get into BIOS try remove the battery and the AC adapter at least an hour. Then connect the two again and try to start your laptop.

  He starts correctly now?
