Equium L40 - 17 M - no charge battery on Windows 7

Hi guys and girls. I'm at my wits end so any help would be great.

I have a Toshiba Equium L40 - 17M. I installed Windows7 2 days and since then it has been giving me this message when I flew over the battery icon: pluged in but no charge please consider which battery
It was fine when I was running the original Windows Vista Home Premium.

Before I installed it, I did a check on the Microsoft Web site, and it said my computer would run fine on the 32-bit version and all programs would go now what happened?
I was also on the Toshiba site to see if I need to get the software from them but in the Windows 7 upgrade part, there is no support for my laptop.

Please could someone help me thanks.

That's the point. You use unsupported operating systems. He will be supported in the future and until you accept that something don't work properly.
I'm sure that battery is charging correctly, but there is a problem with the information you get in Win7.

Leave it on the adapter for 3 hours and let me know if your battery is completely discharged or not if you unplug the power plug.

  • Equium L40-156 - problem with the battery or the charger?

    Hi all, I'm new here and have a question about my laptop.

    My laptop does not turn on when I play and hold the thread at the back of the laptop where it charges and I have to hold it in place while the laptop charge upwards and once I connected, is that after a matter of a few minutes (if there are that) it says low battery and stops.
    Is it my battery in the laptop that has disappeared or is it the charger adapter?

    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Hey,.

    Of course it is not easy to say which is the reason why, but according to your announcement, there seems to be problem AC adapter.
    I mean just start the laptop when you place the cable in place and if Windows starts up, it says low battery, so it s not charging but in the worst case, it could also be a malfunction of the motherboard.

    So if you can get a new power adapter you should test. It s worth a try! ;)

  • Equium L40 - 14 l works without battery?

    I'm having some problems with this laptop and try and work, what to do, I need help with the following:

    (1) the laptop turns on and works as usual if the battery is removed and it is plugged.
    (2) the orange charge light was solid for a while and then started to blink before the laptop turnt itself off the power.

    I thought that the laptop should always light being plugged in, even without a battery, but it does not do.

    Any ideas of what could be the cause? I tried another charger, but am still having problems to start.

    Thank you very much

    # Of course. You can use it with AC power only
    # There must be a problem with the power supply.

    Unfortunately I can't give you a precise answer, but if you can't use your laptop with AC power only (without battery) there must be a problem with electronic power supply on the motherboard and you should contact Toshiba service.

    Hello

    that you have properly installed the powersaver? It would be good to know if you did. What about XP on Vista machines:

    Manufacturers, all new machines have been built to run under vista. Unfortunately the material works not perfectly under XP because hardware was built specifically for Vista.

    Thus, if some functions are not working then it could be that no true driver XP support was destined to this machine.

    I hope that the Service Pack for Vista would be released soon, because then Vista would be probably interesting for most users.

    See you soon

  • Problem starting Equium L40

    Hello

    I use F1 to start my Equium L40 every time I tun turn it on. It will then start ok but he forgot the time and date, as soon as I update time / date, the computer works perfectly I can access all my email etc accounts without having to put anything.

    The problem started after the replacement of the battery because of that being almost completely dead. I noticed that the computer will not work on AC only without mounted battey but is still charging the battery ok. (if the adapter is ok)

    I love the computer and do not really want to buy a new, but it is very frustrating and tedious when I turn it on.

    Maybe there is a battery backup I can change to fix the problem?

    Any help would be appreciated?

    Hello

    Laptop should also work without battery but connected to the power adapter
    So I guess that your motherboard is affected in some way.

    If the RTC battery (bios) is empty, the time and date in the BIOS menu would be reset to the default value. But in my opinion, this shouldn't be a problem to use the laptop with AC adapter.

    However, the RTC battery can be charged to do that you need to connect the main battery and power adapter and the laptop must be turned on for a longer period of time (18-20 hours).

  • Equium L40 10 X flashing green power light

    Hi guys,.

    I have an old Equium L40 that I haven't used in a while.

    Now when I plug the power adapter into the power green led just blinks constantly.
    I checked the blink codes, but I can't find one for mine. It simply turns green for a second then off.
    Then green for a second then off the coast and that constantly.

    I tried to remove the battery for a few minutes and then hold the power button for a minute, but I just get the same result. The adapter is one that came with the laptop and as far as I can tell works very well.

    Other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you guys!

    Hello

    Indicator power (DC IN) indicates the status of the power supply with the power adapter plugged.
    (Without flashing) Green means supply and the computer is turned on.
    The power light on the front of the computer lights green when the computer is turned on.
    Flashing orange indicates power to the computer while the laptop is in mode 'sleep'.

    Unfortunately, the DC IN green flashing red state looks like a hardware problem.
    Probably the power supplied to the laptop is abnormal or there are a few problems with electronic power on the motherboard.

    By the way: Please check the memory modules live. Blow an and test the device using that one module in each slot. Check the two modules.
    A few years ago, a friend of mine had some problems with the laptop. The flashing light indicates the issue of RAM

  • Equium L40 does not start

    I was working on my Equium L40 when it has just been cut. I had worked on it for a while so it was very hot and the fan worked very hard!

    I checked the power supply and it is fine. I'm guessing (but not sure) that this is a motherboard failure and that will cost more than a new laptop (this one is 3 years old). Could it be the battery?

    The problem is that I have a job that I need to get. My co-worker said I should just remove the hard drive and get a 'cradle' that will allow I plug the drive into my new laptop using a USB key and retrieve the information. Is this correct?

    Any help would be welcome!

    Duncan

    I put t know for sure, but the problem may be overheating. Leave it for a while and try to restart your laptop. If the laptop restarts correctly to the first back up all your important data.

    Next step should be the laptop clean. Probably cools grill full of dust and laptop cannot be properly cooled.

    Yes, your friend is right. You can connect the HARD drive to the other PC as external device and you will have full access to your data.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - what is lasting average battery?

    Hello

    Recently, I received my Satellite Pro L40 and wonder what is the average battery? Once fully charged, it seems to be able to handle 1 hour max. Is this normal?

    The laptop I had before was the same, but my friends laptop, which is more than a year older than mine, runs for more than 3 hours on a fully charged battery.

    Is there a fault?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is not easy to answer this question because the battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. You know that you will be able to run much longer Notepad on the battery power using only a few common applications like Word or Internet Explorer.
    Play games, watch DVDs or burn CD/DVD of waste more than energy because the performance of simple devices is much higher!

    Fact is that portable Pro L40 was equipped devices and high-tech parts. The laptop supports a nice GPU of fort Intel Pentium Dual - Core CPU, huge HARD drive, and and and

    In addition, you must know that the Vista operating system preinstalled eat a lot of resources and waste more energy than Win XP!
    All of this has an influence on the working time of battery.

    Last but not least, he should know that there are different batteries on the market.
    If you want to increase the performance of the battery, buy a stronger battery!

  • 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

  • Equium L40-14i does not power up if its cold

    When I push the power button down when the machine is cold, green power light comes on for about 2 seconds, then turns off. If I give the laptop a little sweet heat for 30 seconds, the notebook starts up the first time and works perfectly until the machine is turned off. The laptop is Equium L40-14i

    Hope someone can help with this strange problem.

    Hmm laptop Equium L40 is an older model, it is possible that some parts of the motherboard (maybe electronic power) does not work as it should.

    By the way: before talking about some problems of motherboard, you should check if the laptop works properly using another job good and checked power adapter.

  • Equium L40 is not connecting to internet

    I have an Equium L40 it does not connect to internet with wifi or the head of the ubs.

    The laptop comes up:
    Internet Explorer has stopped working
    A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.

    It says it is connected to my wifi bt hub and has a signal strong.
    Why it will not connect either cable or WiFi?

    Any ideas.

    Hello Steven

    It is not easy to provide a response based on the description of your problem.
    If you use connection WLAN make sure wireless network adapter is installed, enabled and configured correctly.

    USB cable? What type of USB cable do you use?

  • Equium L40-10 X - audio drivers do not work on Windows XP

    I recently reinstalled XP on my equium L40-10 x. Unfortunately, the audio drivers from the Toshiba support site does not work for me - are there other drivers that are known to work?
    I didn't load the available disks and need something on the net - link?

    Thank you.

    Hi cecilrosa,

    I n t have Equium L40 but I'm pretty sure that the audio drivers are working properly. The point is that you need to first install Service Pack 3 before you can install the audio driver.

    So to remove the current sound driver and install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. After that, you can try reinstalling the audio driver.

  • Equium L40 - Vista won't start after installation of product recovery

    Hello

    I had to realize a product uses recovery provided restore disk on an Equium L40 computer laptop (PLS41). The recovery procedure done his job to the end, reformats and copy all the files and then restarts. Now the problem starts...
    The pc gets in front of the BIOS boot screen, then it goes completely black with only a cursor to underscore flashing in the upper corner of the screen. No HARD or CD-rom drive activity.

    I did the cover about ten times now. All with the same result. I tried the repair procedure using a Vista boot CD and I also tried using another disk supplied with the computer, anytime upgrade from Vista. Here they are without defects, see the hard drive and shows that the vista files are on it, also sees the winRE partition.

    I tired even fresh install from the disc at any time. It also reformats the disk, copies and decompresses all files needed, begins to install the updates on the disk and then said: he needs to restart. It restarts and goes to black screen with flashing underscore cursor. What happens if I press the 'coup of any key to boot from CD' or leave it to boot from the HARD drive.

    I tried to fix this for two days now, including endless hours of forum to research, the computer belongs to my friend gets very angry I am. I need help. No one knows how to fix?

    Hello

    According to your message, I think that the HARD drive is faulty.
    I think there's a defective recording of MBR (MBR) of the drive and therefore the laptop refuses to boot.

    One question; have you tried to set the BIOS default settings? If this is not the case, try this.

    If it doesn t help and the laptop still does not start upward, then you should ask ASP for verification.
    I think it s a problem of HARD disk and, possibly, the HARD drive must be replaced!
