• 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

  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

• Equium L10 will not start

  Please help - my Equium L10 will not start.

  Power supply is OK. When the power is connected the orange battery light comes on. I press the power button the green power light turns on momentarily (literally a Flash), then both the Green and orange lights out with orange alone returning it on about 2 seconds later.

  Else does nothing - no fan activity, no hard disk, no activity of the screen activity, no other light - you get the picture!

  I tried the following:
  Removed battery and tried to start with AC power not only - no joy
  Removed AC power and I tried booting with battery only - no joy
  Barrette of RAM removed and reinstall - no joy

  Does anyone have ideas before considering a tech? Suggestions (with the exception where to paste!) would be welcome.

  Kind regards

  Hmm .He doesn't sound good. For me, it looks like a motherboard problem. It is maybe something wrong with electronic power to the Board of Directors of s. But not for sure.

  What you can do is to remove the battery and unplug the power adapter for a while.
  Wait about 20 minutes and connect the battery and adapter for the laptop. Then try turning on the laptop computer.
  If this does not help I recommend contact the ASP technician, because I don t think you will be able to know what's exactly wrong.

  So I hope that the technician can find the fault quickly and can solve this problem.

  Good luck

• Equium L10-300 - battery failure

  Hello

  Can someone tell me if the battery isn't on the laptop Equium L10-300 it will not feed with the lead/charger pluged?

  Hello

  First of al you will get a few suggestions here in the forum if you want to be 100% sure which part is defective or malfunctions, you must contact a technician for laptop and it could check the hardware.

  Now my opinion; If the laptop lights even if the AC adapter is plugged in, then it has nothing to do with s battery but with the internal parts like for example electronic power supply on the motherboard.

  If the battery is faulty, you should always be able to use the laptop connected to the power adapter. Right?

  So I think that your problem is not related to the battery I m not sure what could be wrong, but first the adapter sector and RAM check if both parties would be ok then there must be another serious problem that I suggested above maybe motherboard is affected

• Equium L10-273 kept switching between battery and power

  Hello

  I saw a similar post here and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they have had this problem sorted? My Equium L10-273 kept switching between battery and power all others second, which made it impossible to type, it's got worse and worse. I thought it was a problem with the power supply, but when I removed the battery from the laptop is ok running of the adapter.

  He kept also make a noise of hissing/crackling growing fan region, which stopped when I removed the AC adapter. The adapter was unusually hot, and the fan area became too hot to the touch. This stopped now, I removed the battery, so I want to know is what someone has solved this problem by replacing the battery or it should be returned?

  This laptop is less than 2 years old, but apart from his one year warranty.

  Hello

  According to the description of your problem, I think there is a problem of electronic power supply. Sorry but there is not a universal solution, and I recommend you contact the service authorized in your country. Explain the situation and see what they say.

• Equium L10 - touch pad stop working (mouse)

  Hi guys,.

  really need your help. I have an Equium L10-300 and my touch pad has stopped working. A few days back, he started to freeze, but reboot solved the problem... but now it has stopped working all together. The icon that normally indicates at the bottom right of the screen disappeared. Have done the FN9 thing and tried to look at the settings...

  Help, please

  Thanks, Pete

  Hi friend

  have you already tried to remove the mouse from the Device Manager? Or reinstall the driver would also be a very good attempt to resolve this situation as a whole.

  The first step that needs to be done is to exclude a software error, then go-> http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/-> support downloads & -> support-> download home page-> download drivers

  Get the driver for your mouse and reinstall. If it shouldn´t work then come here and we will see what could be the next step...

• Equium L10-300: how to remove BIOS password which was never put

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba laptop Equium L10-300 which has just begun to ask a market BIOS password, which is strange, because you never have the value. I read in these forums and have found that the other models had the same problem.

  Now first of all, I was wondering if there is anyway to fix this without sending it away and if not then who can I send it to and the repair will be free?
  Thank you

  Hello

  I didn t notice such BIOS password on my laptop problem.
  However, if the BIOS has been set and that you can not connect, then you will need to contact the ASP in your country for the removal of the password! Without the help of ASP, you will not be able to use the laptop.

  But I can't say much about the cost. I think it could be done for free. Just call the guy and explain your situation.

  Good bye

• White screen on my Equium L10-300

  Hi all

  New on this site but I was wondering if someone can help me. I have an Equium L10-300 and the screen seems to start going white corners in until it becomes white. I found that by pushing on the top of the screen is the only why return to normal.

  This means that the screen is broken and it needs to be replaced completely or is it caused by another party? Anyone who can shed some light on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  * coop thank you *.

  For me, it is definitely hardware problem. It may appear or may display cable (maybe some crack on cable or bad connection). Sorry, but I don't think there is something you can do alone. I recommend you contact the service.

  They allow to check the view feature.
  Good bye

• Equium L10-142 - battery won't load

  I've had my Equium L10-142 for about four years now, and I know that it is long enough for a laptop. Last year I had problems with the battery that refuses to load at all and more in the past months, the cable ca now seems to be worse and worse.

  Now my laptop only stay on for a few minutes at a time when it is connected, the "low battery" WARNING continues to appear and keeps yellow light "plugged in" turn off, signaling that in a few seconds the machine turns off. Sometimes stirring done cable the light back on and the computer continues to run for a little while, so I thought that maybe there was a problem with the connectors for the power cable.

  To be honest I know very little about computers, but I need trying to get my phone working again and I don't want to have to pay someone a lot of money just to tell me that my computer is too old and that it is just packaging.

  Any ideas if there is a solution? Is there something I can do? A spare battery or a spare cable would make the case or is there no hope?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  First of all, you should know that after a long period of use (charge/discharge) battery will discharge the own performance and only a battery replacement would help to operate the laptop with battery.

  But it should be able to run Notepad by using the adapter usually it should be a problem!

  The battery in my old notebook lasts for about 2 min even it s full of 7 years :D
  I removed the battery and use the laptop as a desktop PC. He always says on my table, connected to a power adapter.

  I think that your laptop must always run on the sector, even if the battery is dead.

• Equium L10: Windows Vista Beta2 - peripheral unknown

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium L10 with Windows XP loaded as default but I installed VISTA Beta2 "public dissemination" on this issue and because it is only 1.5 GHz Celeron CPU with 512 MB of RAM, it worked fine, but I have a problem that I hope I can get help with users in this forum, and especially those who have the same or similar Equium model as I have?

  Okay, after VISTA installation, I checked in the Device Manager and noticed "unknown device". After checking the info given in its properties, I've detailed below:

  Geographical area: ACPI Microsoft compatible controller built-in
  Value: ACPI\ACPI 0001 * ACPI0002

  When I reinstalled XP again, I went to the Manager of devices/batteries/Microsoft SMART Battery, the entry for Microsoft SMART Battery subsystem 'ACPI\ACPI0002\6 & 28CA 2229 & 0'.

  Notice the "ACPI0002" info given for the "unknown device" in VISTA is the same info given for "Microsoft SMART Battery subsystem" in Windows XP. So I'm left wondering if the unknown device Vista is Microsoft SMART battery subsystem and if yes, why VISTA installed the driver for it?

  Can someone help to find a driver for the "unknown device" in VISTA?

  Concerning
  Brave

  Hello

  The unknown device appears because the driver is missing.
  Unfortunately, at this time you will not find any what Toshiba supported drivers for Beta 2 of Windows. It is a beta and not official version on the market.
  I think that if this OS will be official, supported so you will also find the necessary drivers.

• Equium L10: How to use Toshiba Recovery CD to install the OS

  Sorry in advance if this might be a stupid question, but I have not re-installed the operating system for years and don't know how to do.

  I think I need to reinstall cause i've got my laptop for almost 2 years and it became too slow with lots of error messages.

  Have Toshiba Equium L10 with Windows XP and a recovery DVD. The DVD contains Windows XP? Should I format my laptop first or just insert the DVD and follow the instructions?

  And after everything is done all the garbage will be gone and it will contain Windows XP only? And yet one thing I am concerned about my internet work later (I have a cable connected to the LAN) or I will have to do something?

  Thank you for all the advice!

  Hello Laura

  The previous user explained everything very well. For the new operating system installation you must use supplied recovery media. It contains BONES, all the drivers you need and also all Toshiba designed and utility tools.

  Procedure recovery takes about 20 minutes, but after that finish you'll still factory settings as the first day.

  Regarding your use of the Internet I can not tell you much, but try to connect LAN cable and you will see how it looks like.

• Equium L10-300 - Question about BIOS password

  Hey all hope you can help a new user please.

  Had a customer to put in a notebook Equium L10-300. Somehow has been a password on the BIOS and start-up, so I can't do anything with it. I can't boot from a CD and I tried a USB floppy drive, it seems to the flexible time and then just operates in the password box. I was going to try a BIOS flash, you see.

  I'm guessing maybe remove battery from the bios might help? But do not know where it is or how to get to it. All links to the manuals etc. would be nice. I ve read some new Toshibas have special security chips now hold passwords etc.

  Any help would be thank you very much, really need to solve this problem.

  Mark

  Hello Mark

  If you have clients, I assume that you work for an authorized service. The fact is that each service description how to remove the BIOS password on each laptop model.
  So if you try to delete the BIOS password I can't imagine work you for some Baker. So many things on your work.

  Another important thing is that the BIOS removal procedure is kind of top secret information and may not be the subject of public debate. This information cannot be displayed here. This will be a valuable aid for all who attempt to enter stolen laptops. Do you agree with me?

  If your customer needs professional help to send him to the authorized Toshiba service provider nearest. They know how to remove BIOS password.

• Equium L10 does not recognize any PCMCIA wireless card I install

  Hello

  I just bought a brand new Toshiba Equium L10 and I can't get any wireless card to install. I tried different models of Belkin, Netgear and MSI, which works perfectly well on other laptops, but not on this one.

  The L10 is a clean build of Windows XP SP2 directly from the retailer and I am using the following steps to install the wireless network card:

  1. start Windows XP SP2 and log in as administrator
  2. run the software for the wireless card
  3. Insert the wireless card

  At this point, windows only recognizes the card as an ethernet adapter wireless and will not install the drivers. Even if I manually install and specifically point to the correct directory, it fails to pick up the pilots still and says that there is nothing in the directory for the material that I install.

  I have the latest version of the BIOS for the L10 and have tried all the following features without result:

  1. disable the legacy USB support in the BIOS
  2 disable built in ethernet
  3. run the Diagnostics of PC from Toshiba (reports that everything works just fine including PCMCIA)
  4 rebuild provided using DVD from Toshiba laptop

  Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? It drives me crazy and I've never had this kind of problem with any other laptop. Is this a defect known with Toshiba laptops and what is the solution?
  Is this a problem with Win XP SP2? Is my laptop defective?

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  K.

  You can post the details of this card?
  Have you contacted the manufacturing of PCMCIA card for support? Maybe there is a new version of driver for this card.

  I've noticed some problems with Vodafone on a Satellite P10 PCMICA card. This card caused a blue screen on the unit. Well, the deactivation of the hyper-threading technology in BIOS has solved this problem. On other maps, the new version of driver also solved some strange problems.

  However, what I would say it is there are a lot of things that could be a bad influence.

  First of all I recommend you ask the card to support manufacturing.
