How to recalibrate battery on Satellite Pro A10?

The battery that came with my laptop has begun behaving oddly a couple of months (it's almost two years, Satellite Pro A10). She arrive at about 50% and then immediately fall to about 2 percent. After setting up with this for a few months, I finally bit the bullet and bought a new battery (charge not trivial, I might add). The new battery behaves exactly the same way. Someone has any advice on how to recalibrate battery PC Toshiba laptop, or verify that the problem is with the system and not the battery itself?

Hi Richard,

Check in options power management Toshiba you have the right setting for your type of battery. In my opinion, there are different settings for long battery duration, high power batteries, etc..

If the problem persists, then I recommend re-installing the power management utility to make sure that it is not at fault, and if the problem persists, then there may be a problem with the power system of your laptop, in which case you will need to return to an authorized Service Agent Toshiba.

Good luck

  • Replacement battery for Satellite Pro A10

    Hello
    I'm trying to find a replacement battery for Satellite Pro A10, PA3284U-1BRS, 10.8 v original battery, 3600 MAH. A couple of merchants said that it is no longer available and has been replaced by PA3285U-1BRS, the amperage is a little higher at 4400 MAH, but declared voltage is now 11.1 VOLTS. Is this normal, or are they trying to just me to pawn off the coast with something that is really not compatible with the specifications of the original part. I can't find the part for the moment available on the Toshiba site, seems to have been the only way to get a true replacement who would be sure to adapt. Battery wizards there know what would actually?

    Thank you.

    The solution in the 2nd post won't work because the A10 has an Intel graphics card, not a Nvidia. He suggested also, modify the INF of the graphics driver, but to extract the driver (SA10B2DP.exe) file includes an installer, but no INF.

    Just look to see if anyone has any advice on how to activate the resolutions such as 1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050.

    Thank you

    Hello

    you mean on the external screen, Don t you? If you have an intel chipset graphic why Don t you download the drivers from the website of intel.
    Maybe it offers a resolution of the external display.

    I don't know if the res external can be set to widescreen on this chipset as the drivers are somewhat limited...
    Can you describe what monitor you have and how you connect it to your machine. (d-sub or DVI)?

  • How to install the adapter wireless network in Satellite Pro A10

    I'm trying to set up a wireless connection with my Satellite Pro A10. I thought it was active wireless, but when I switch the wireless switch, no light comes on and there is no card listed under network adapters wireless (so I guess not).

    Is it easy to install a wireless adapter (i.e. can I do it myself or I must be done by a professional)? Can anyone recommend what card I should by (or any other that I should avoid)?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    According to the specification of the specifications your A10 Pro Satellite is WLAN ready. In notebook specification it has listed two compatible WIFI cards:
    PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802. 11b) and PA3273U-2MPC (802. 11a / b).

    I don't really know if you can use some faster wireless network cards with the g standard. You may be lucky and someone will post here results update WLAN card.

    I'm not sure 100% where the WLAN slot is placed but check it please under the lid placed close to the battery.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - how to restore power management

    I'm running a little used by Satellite Pro A10 as a substitute for a sick office and trying to improve performance after the installation of some essential software.
    It seems you accidentally disable the Toshiba power management function - when I click the icon on the Toshiba Console there is no response.

    Power management seems to retain its previous setting, however, and I find myself with no control otherwise.

    Any advice on how to restore this function on the Console?

    You can also try to use the system restore utility to set the operating system to the point of time at the beginning!
    Maybe it will work

  • Satellite Pro A10: RTC battery is low or CMOS chesksum unstable

    I have a Satellite Pro A10.

    When I turn everything first laptop computer on I get RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is unstable - press F1 to set date/time. When I press F1, I get a beep and it's everything that happens. I'm unable to had to set up or do anything at all with the installation program.

    I kept it plugged in for 24 hours, but still the same results. I replaced the CMOS battery with a new. But even once, I get the exact same results.

    All that happens when I press F1 and a sound signal. Is this a sign that I have probably a problem with the motherboard?

    You can access the BIOS and could try to set the default settings, and then save the settings and start again.
    If it doesn't, then it must be another reason for this message.

    My first thought was that this error pops up because the BIOS battery is empty.
    Usually such charge as described in your ad should help get rid of this message.
    But it seems that there is a more serious problem

    I m not quite sure what this could be, but the hypothesis that a motherboard could malfunction is not wrong.
    I think that a fault of mobo might this causes too.

    But in my opinion a mobile technician must check to make sure what's wrong.

  • Satellite Pro A10 battery won't hold a charge

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A10. I used it for a few years on AC power only. I tried to use it on battery, but I don't have that about 5 minutes before switching to standby mode. She descends slowly from 100 percent to about 96 percent then powers. When I plug directly support I have only 3% of the power.

    I thought if I totaled the battery, so I bought a new, but the same thing happens.

    Do you think that my new battery is duff too?
    I am running the latest version of the bios (1.30).

  • Satellite Pro A10 - need information about upgrading RAM

    Dear members of Ant
    Regarding the above machine: Please can someone advise:-how many slots memory has.
    I think it's two but do not know.
    Also size maximum memory can this module we have in this laptop please.
    If it's 2 @ 1 GB per module, then we would have a total of 2 GB.

    Is the standard hard drive on this computer, a hard drive of the laptop. Can I get out the small 20 GB one and replace it with a larger. for example 120 GB etc.

    Thank you very much for your help.
    Ian

    Satellite Pro A10 two memory locations are available. Laptop computer can manage with 1 GB of RAM and you can use two compatible PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51) modules.

    This old machine uses 2.5 HDD with old IDE connector. I found some info that it has been bundled with 20GB, 30GB and 40GB HDD. I think you can improve it with up to 100 GB HARD drive but just to be sure he has the same connector on the HARD drive.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.
    For more information after the exact model number please.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - SP2 or 3 slows the performance of XP?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E that, over the years, had become very slow.

    Recently, I upgraded it's RAM from 256 to the maximum of 1 GB to try to speed things up, but it did not help.

    Then I reformatted the hard drive and reloaded the system using the Toshiba recovery disks. It worked well and the system performance has been excellent. However, with online safety in mind, I loaded the Windows SP2 (to go then to SP3) and it took the system back to where I started - very, very slow, in fact pretty much unusable.

    Does anyone know if Toshiba compatible SP2 and SP3 on this laptop model?

    If yes how install them without killing performance?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    According to me, SP2 or SP3 is supported on this Toshiba laptop because two Service Packs are contains important security updates and I think that's not the problem.

    If you install SP2 or SP3 you also get the center of security and better Windows Firewall. Maybe you should disable these two services given that the slowdown in the performance of the system (I always disable the two services).
    Just go to start-run-services.msc online online and disable both services and set the startup type to disabled.

  • Satellite Pro A10 display and DVD issues

    I have a Satellite Pro A10 about 2 1/2 years and have never had a problem with him, but the other day when I tried to watch a DVD, look at a program (InterActual Player) opened as usual and then a few more seconds later the display will change in very low resolution (something like 14 colors, almost a negative and all image was massive Although I don't remember the actual numbers) and he said that I had to reboot in order to return things to normal. I tried the same DVD in Windows Media Player, as well as to try other DVDs and initially that the DVD would play in Media Player but not Interactual but now the same thing happens any DVD or player that I use.

    Also, I went on the computer this morning and got a message saying that the battery is low (although it was because I had not plugged the computer again, nothing to do with the last errors) and the computer is in standby. I plugged in the computer and you press the power button to wake the screen is very dark but visibly pixelated (I think that's the word, he had visible points, as if someone were holding a magnifying glass up to her) and got very slowly brighter until there has been a series of narrow bright stripes, like a giant pixel or a tv test screen.
    This could be a problem with the display drivers (even though I tried to update and we found since I always see a message 'Cannot find the requested string' by the icon for display in the control panel), the screen itself, or something else entirely?

    Sorry it's so long, but I thought it is best to include all the details in case it has been important. I hope someone can help!

    Hello Nicola

    As you know on this path is not easy to say what may be the problem. In my opinion, it is important to see what is happening exactly. I assume that your problem is not caused by the display driver. Try to properly test and notice where the screen is very dark.

    If this problem is repeated again and again that I recommend you backup your data and reinstall the unit with recovery media. On this path of unity will be factory configured and you can see if the problem still occurs. If so, it may be just caused by a malfunction of the equipment.

    Good luck!
