If deleted autonomy of the laptop?

Hi, I bought a Toshiba M40 centrino a few months ago and the seller told me that it would be wise to disconnect the battery from the laptop after a few months in order to have an optimal use of your battery.

How can I take out my battery?
and is it true what they told me, my battery will have a long life cycle?

Thank you

Pasha

Hi Pierre,.

The general consensus of opionion is that the battery must be removed from the laptop when used on AC power (unless the battery is being charged of course) in order to increase the autonomy of the battery.

My personal experience, however, is that there is little difference to the State of my battery I remove or leave it in place. Charge electronics cuts the power to the battery when it is fully charged so leaving in place should not cause this injury. I think it's easier to leave it in place and let the electronics get on with it.

The battery is normally held in place with a small spring clip that must be pressed you one side to allow the battery to remove.

Kind regards

    Hello

    Thank you for asking. It seems that this problem can be caused by a virus.

    I suggest that you run a full scan on the computer by using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if the computer is infected with the virus.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Will you please answer to validate if the problem persists and we will be happy to help you.

    Hi GhettoBoy,

    How do you delete user accounts? Is it just C:\Dosument and settings users or accounts under the control panel? If you don't want to keep all these account data, you can try to delete the profile of click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> Advanced-> user profile and select the profile and remove. Also check under 'User accounts' in the control panel to remove the names of users.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    You can use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

    Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Also that, read also:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a fee, if they still have available to them.

    _____________________________________________________________

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    ____________________________________________________________

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

  • How findout if all the partitions have been deleted and now a laptop that has Windows 8 operating system using Windows Vista with a shell IE 9?

    I bought a laptop broken at a friend's House. It is not used for the operating system windows 8 and wanted to use the Windows Vista operating system. Son of friends put in place this laptop for it, which was new when she bought in a retail store. Is there a way I can find out whether all the partitions have been deleted during the installation of Vista? I still see window 8 logo that I sign as an administrator user on this laptop.

    When I log on this computer, the previous owner of the screen name is the only one that appears. I go in Control Panel, click Add another account, then I see the screen name I posted. I could use the WiFi from my PC at home that Win 7 OS.

    When I started working with the laptop, I was able to bring control of the camera. Now I thought that the version that I use does not allow this operation. Be happy with any Positive help with my problems.

    Hello

    Start > type CMD

    Right click on CMD and select run as administrator

    Type diskmgmt.msc

    Press enter

    This opens where you can view the partitions on the disk management system

    Who has installed Windows Vista, your son or friend?  Fact that they create a dual boot environment or reformat?

    http://www.technorms.com/8438/Windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition

    Multibooting requires separate partitions on the hard drive of your computer for each operating system.  To create and format a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.

    To check if a dual boot system in place, start > Type msconfig

    Click on the Startup tab

    You see two operating systems listed?  Windows 8, Windows Vista

    http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/how-to-change-default-OS-for-dual-boot-system/

    I think that Windows 8 has the following partitions

    400 MB Partition Recovery (contains recovery information dated from before my upgrade)

    • 300 MB EFI System Partition
    • 350 MB Partition Recovery (contains information for recovery of my upgrade)
    • 17 GB Partition Recovery
    • 220 GB of Partition primary

    Windows Vista has drive C and drive D

    Done reformatting refers to a hard disk or partition that already has been formatted or that contains data on it. Reformatting a disk deletes all the data on the disk.

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  • IPhoto deleting turned off my laptop computer to free up memory

    Help please - I transferred all my photos currently pictured on a stand alone disc

    I would also like to keep my last holiday pictures to my lap top and remove the other albums to release the memory. Pressed delete album on the albums up to 20, but the "amount of memory left has not changed.

    Anyone has any idea why?

    Second question, if I take the apple supply and store all my photos in the cloud, this will free up memory on my laptop?

    Cheers - MP

    To get help, that you must first provide details since we cannot see your computer - you posted in iPhoto for Mac forum but about pictures for Mac and give no idea what OS you have - what version of the operating system you have and what software photos do you use (name and version)

    In Photos or iPhoto cut an album recorded without space like albums aren't a place, but simply a way to display your photos and albums to take no space - and once again withou knowing what software you have in fact we cannot tell you precisely how to remove photos from your Mac

    If you're using iPhoto where you posted then iCloud library isn't an option - if you use instead of Photos, so is and if you set it to use optimized photos it will be disc space required on your laptop, but even once unless we have details we cannot tell you all you need to know

  • Question about deleting data from the HARD drive

    Hello

    The C drive on my computer satellite phone is almost full, 1.21 Gb free of 55.7 and drive E has 10.9 GB 36 GB free. How can I solve this problem. I am not concerned by what is deleted. It can go if you have to.

    Slowing down the laptop down to something serious.

    Any help would be great.

    Hello

    It seems that drive E has little more free space
    So, you can move some files like photos, movies, files pm3 or any that you have stored on the partition, the partition E.

    You can also reduce the E partition and can add free space on the C partition.
    To do this, you must use a 3rd party software
    I recommend using a freeware tool called * Gparted.*

    How to get it? Google is your friend ;)

  • Suffered the laptop using the recovery, but now only see 1 hard disk, not 2 disc

    Hello

    I used the system recovery disk to erase all the data on my laptop and re - install Windows Vista a-fresh. I used to have two hard drives (C and E), but now when I restored it I have only one.

    Should I just stick with it like that, or I can re - create the division?

    Thank you

    kjh888

    Hello

    What model of laptop do you have?
    With 2 hard drives do you mean 2 hard drives or 2 partitions on a HARD drive?

    The point is that recovery disk formats the HARD drive and erase the partitions created on the HARD drive, so if you had a partition, then a recovery disk can delete it from the HARD drive.

  • Question about the laptop battery and satellite L510

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L510 and find the battery moves a bit - like 2mm so be it.
    It is on the edge of the laptop, I suppose, but I was wondering if there should be no movement at all?

    Hello

    On my two laptops from Toshiba battery cannot be moved, but the battery is locked and cannot be moved or deleted.

  • Pavilion g7 - 1117cl: lost usb port in the laptop

    My wife tried to update to Windows 10.

    He has totally failed and 'lost' the drivers for the USB ports so that she cannot use her mouse.

    We spent MANY hours on the phone with Microsoft as they took control of the laptop and tried to fix it.

    Finally they told us that they believe there is some sort of virus on the disk, they can not delete? and that the laptop should have something on the 'partition' on the disk.

    They were not very clear about this, but he told us to contact HP.

    Our warranty has expired.

    Given this, if I do an original factory reset this will fix the problem or a virus caused a wrong to prevent a resumption of this way?

    Microsoft seems to think that a reset would not fix the problem.

    The laptop came with all the discs.

    We are NOT any sort of expert on computers, so we do not understand much of what they told us and we had problems to understand the accent of the person who was working on the issue.

    @Dfaris,

    Thanks for posting back.  Yes at this point, you will need perform a recovery of the plant on the laptop.  He's going to wipe the drive clean of any possible bad guys and set it back to the original configuration.

  • Pavilion g6-2306el: life of the battery and using the laptop all day

    Hello

    I tend to use the laptop for work almost all day. If this is the case, she recommends simply detach the battery, instead of always keep at full load (since it has plugged all the time)? Thank you.

    Modern laptop PC battery is smart. You don't do any damage in the battery while the laptop is running on current alternative. To some people say otherwise and there may be a very slight advantage in terms of reduction of charge cycles that are saved on the battery by deleting, but for me, the hassle of constantly take the battery now outweighs the very small gains.
