• Satellite Pro L10 battery did not reach full charge

  On my Satellite Pro L10 battery only reaches 85% charge if leave all night. Is this likely to be a problem with the supply power, circuits inside the computer or charge the battery?

  I need to know the best place to start to spend money!

  Some experience that may or may not apply to:
  -Battery system is around 2.5 years
  -The battery lasts about 1 to 1.5 hrs that seems fair considering his age and his level of violence (left connected permanently and not recycled periodically)
  -Very recently would not pass, with or without the power adapter connected. Solved by removing AC, then the battery, running on AC, then turn off and reinsert the battery. Everything now works on battery or AC.
  -Over problem, system has been itself decommissioned at random. Since the resolution of the problem of market it was not randomly turned off itself, YET!

  Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  HM, sounds to me like a hardware problem. But the problem is to understand where exactly the error, if you have the following options:

  * Contact a service partner chartered for a hardwarecheckup and an accurate diagnosis of your machine ([http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT])
  * You can buy a new battery (since it could be the battery, I guess)
  * You can sell this machine on ebay and buy a new one :)

  Hope I could give you some new and fresh ideas. There is almost no other options or solutions, the it s so your choice.

  Greetings

  My battery in the laptop of 5 years is not working too.
  I could replace it, but I use the old good classic as a desk for laptop and it s still connected to the power adapter so I put t need a new battery.

  However, if you want you could test whether a new battery will help you.

• Satellite M35x-S161 will not work on battery

  My Toshiba Satellite M35x-S161 will not work on battery power.

  With external power supply, the battery status icon see the stack of 90 to 99%, but if the external connection is deleted the computer will immediately dead.

  By pressing the power button with the power supply disconnected, nothing happens. There is no light.

  I suspect the battery is dead, but why it doesn't show 90-99% full?

  In my opinion, your battery is dead.
  My old battery was always full, but I could use the laptop to only for 1 min.
  While the battery was empty

  There is nothing unusual issues you may encounter in using mobile phones
  The battery can die one day.

  In my opinion, the battery needs to be replaced

• Satellite L20 173 - need of more long life battery

  Hello

  For some professional portable computers such as Tecra and Portege you can buy different batteries (with more cells). Unfortunately for Satellite L20 these batteries are not available.

• Satellite L20-181: the WLan switch is not available - cannot activate the Wlan antenna

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L20-181 and I bought an Intel Mini PCI Wifi Pro/Wireless 2200BG so that I place it in the empty Mini PCI connector it has in order to have the wireless.

  While I placed it on a regular basis also antennas etc the Intel utility sends me a message that the network connection is disabled and that I should use the switch on the front panel of the laptop to turn it on.

  This switch located in the laptop from the front is a button that is not reinforced.

  Any ideas guys?

  Hello

  You may need to press the button?
  Also, I found a Satellite L20 manual on the Toshiba site and there I found information that the WLan functionality is not available on all models.

• Satellite L20-101: Question on battery & BIOS password

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  I have a Toshiba laptop satellite L20-101, so can u please answer my questions below.

  Is it better for the battery life to always stay connected to an electrical outlet when possible, or charge the battery and then use it until it needs to be recharged again? I mean what is best for the life of the battery, and I need to know if stay connected to AC power affects the battery life.

  How can I set a password for the laptop not windows? Because when I enter BIOS setup and set a password for user and supervisor. He just ask me about this password when I try to login to Setup again, but it is still continuous to the windows boot without asking me about a password.

  What should I do?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  The fact is that you can charge/discharge the battery about 500 times.
  After this period, the battery will lose performance.
  More recent laptops and batteries use the latest technology of load.
  But I recommend to remove the battery, if you work on the DC for a long time.
  In this case, you can extend the life of the battery and the performance

  Please also check other topics on this topic like this.

  If you want to set the BIOS password and it should appear at the beginning, you must activate the password at startup option in the BIOS.

• Satellite L20-217 does not start

  Hello
  can anyone help?
  I have a Satellite L20-217 and it just stopped working on the other day.
  It was connected with the AC adapter, all of a sudden the message came on the screen saying my battery was low so less than a minute the whole machine has stopped working.
  I ve bought a new power supply and the s is still running is not on. I ve took out the battery for 2 minutes etc... and still nothing; West not sound and no lights.
  When the battery is in and the adapter is hollow area I still get nothing, but if I press the power button the left hand LED will blink for a few seconds then nothing again.
  I really need to get this working as I´am a tattooist and piercer hairdresser and there all my drawings etc. on it.

  Thx for any help

  You can start your laptop with AC power only (the battery is removed)? If so, start windows and after a few minutes, put the battery inside and post the result.

• Satellite L20 modem does not work in some cases

  Hello

  a friend bought a Satellite L20 last summer. In January, she started working on the Internet on an irregular basis, but has known trouble. So I looked after the laptop last week:

  When you try to connect to the Internet connect to the provider sometimes fails. If she finally gets the connection, it often occurs the message that the page could not be found, and only after clicking on the button "Refresh" the page several times finally appears. But oddly enough, every time I unplugged the power supply connection become noticeable better.

  (Win XP; pilot/diagnosis: no problem arose; provider works very well on different computers)

  Unfortunately, he had no chance to check the connection here with a different material. I can't say if the latest driver is installed, but think that Yes, because of the date of purchase. So, my guess is that the power cable is not adequately protected. But if so how? Or what else could be the reason for the unexpected behavior of the modem?

  Thanks for your suggestions!

  Hello

  I heard a similar problem with another model of Satellite. Solution was to install the Satellite A110 modem driver. Please don t ask me why, but test it.

  The modem driver, you can find HERE

  Good luck!

• Satellite U500 - may not wake from sleep

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite U500 laptop win7 64 bit and my system may not wake from sleep mode.
  "Standby mode" when I press the power button or any key of the keypad power led lights up but the screen stays black and the system is unusable.

  Any help?

  Have you noticed this problem in the first moments after upgrade to Win7?
  I assume that you made a mistake with Vista?

  Have you noticed the same behavior when you use hibernation mode?

• Satellite L20-100: Nero does not recognize the UJ - 841S

  Hello
  Our computer is Satellite L20 - 100... He has a special CD burning program Sonic Record and it does not crush. I want to use Nero or Alcohol 120, but the computer does not support them.

  Is there a special driver or something that can allow the use of these programs? Or how to use Nero on my laptop? I'll be happy if someone can help me...

  Thank you

  Hello

  Nero it works without any problem on your laptop and you don t need no additional driver.
  But maybe the different burning applications have a bad influence on the only burning software. Try to use only a single application.

• Satellite A100 - will not charge the battery

  Hello

  I have ned to help. My Satellite A100 will not charge the battery. He works the power adaptor for the led indicates charging status, battery shows 1% of loading tatus information, but none does change - no loading any time. When disconnected everything just stops off like normal desktop.

  I've already put battery in and out, made upgrades to the antivir software, makes Toshiba controls, tests, but what ever he did did not any change. If there is no way for restoration of battery how to check what the problem is I have no second battery or AC I can always buy new batttery but I don't know if the old one is broken and weather new would work properly?

  Best regards
  pawelg

  Hi pawelg,

  I agree with the user above. The battery can be charged only up to 500 times, and after that, it must be replaced. I think it's the case now, I mean that everything works correctly on the AC adapter so I think that the battery must be the reason for this.

  By the way: you can buy a new battery to an authorized service provider. ;)

• Satellite Pro L500 will not start on battery only

  Hello!

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro L500 and have the following problems.
  My laptop does not start on battery only. The Green led comes on and stays with the laptop in a gel (nothing appears on the screen).
  The only way to get this light off is to remove the battery.

  Starts EVERY time with AC power connected (with or without battery)-normal lights are displayed when connected.
  Works quite normal, once started - with or without power connected

  SOMETIMES starts with the battery only if I boot in a short time after I've used the laptop
  I tried the static release process but does not work. (hold button power supply without battery or power supply connected etc..)

  After having this problem, I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS but nothing helped
  Tried a different battery and did not help
  Is a Toshiba Satellite PRO L500 T4400 4GB 15 "laptop Win7 - only 3 weeks or so old

  Very annoying!
  Please anyone with a solution?

  Hello

  Try this.
  Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter and then wait a while. I would like to leave it disconnected for about 12 hours.
  Together the two parties again, charge the battery and then remove the power adapter.
  Then try to turn on the unit using only the battery.

  If that does not help, then you should get in touch with your ASP as fast as possible since the guarantee is valid and would cover all the checks of the equipment and replacements.

• Satellite M70 do not charge the battery

  My satellite M71 do not charge the battery, not only when works now, but also when power is off. Do not charge batteries supplied with the adapter plugged.

  Hello

  I agree with the user above.
  This really looks like a malfunction of the battery. I put t know how old laptop is but generally cover the battery for about 1 year.

  You know that, after the words of 500 of loading and unloading procedures battery automatically loses performance and battery life battery decreases.
  It s nothing unusual.

  But if the battery is new, you must contact the ASP (partner) in your country.
