My power manager is broken for good!

Hello

I don't really know what happened but now I can not add new profiles to the power manager, maximum performance profile is gone and I can't click on the battery meter and move a profile. Everything looks ok, but when you create a profile or pass a profile nothing happens

I tried to install an older version, completely uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing changes.

I think it all started when I upgraded to version 1.45 and my battery gauge disappeared, I reinstalled and it reappeared, but it works as described above.

Any tips?

Thanks Andreas! That helped, I have big know not even what was wrong in the first place. To conclude:

Possible cause:

I think I've changed a power scheme in power windows manager when I got ThinkVantage one.

Solution that worked for me

1. click on start, run, type cmd and then click OK.
2. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
powercfg /RestoreDefaultPolicies

I guess nobody has fought that you could use that two managers at the same time but PM install must reset these eating patterns. Once again thanks for the help

  • iPad 2nd generation - is it broken for good?

    I have a 2nd gen iPad - model: A1458, serial number: DMPMNTAXF185.

    I barely used iPad since I bought it about 2/3 years ago. When I used it it was for internet browsing and for the games (I am a user of baloney I know..!). It had been turned off for months, and when I turned it to start using it again, I had 30 minutes until that I completely lost the ability to use WiFi. Settings, the option to turn on the WiFi is completely grayed out. I tried to turn off the iPad, but it froze and the screen went blue. I managed to solve this problem by plugging the iPad in my laptop and he returned - with the grey WiFi tab. I spoke to Apple Support and we managed to restore the iPad to factory settings and it brought back the WiFi option... for the whole 30 minutes again until the whole cycle is repeated. This has happened since the 4 - 5 times, and then I just dropped. I turned on the iPad just the other day, and everything was fine, she has used for 30 minutes and exactly the same thing happened again. The only difference is this time, the iPad has not frozen, I can still use it, but the WiFi tab is grayed out. I plan to sell on eBay and buy a newer version, if I can solve this - but it would be great to save money if anyone can help. I really need an iPad now for work so I have a lot more the need to use a good!

    Thanks in advance! H.

    Have you tried a hard reset of your iPad by pressing the sleep/wake and Home buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with the Apple logo and then release the buttons?

    Have you tried to load the iPad on its charger and not on your laptop (which provides that the burden of maintaining antiny) until the battery reaches 100%

  • Network adapter - Win XP power management

    I use XP on a laptop.  When I connect the rj45 connection while on battery, I get a connection rate is very slow.  When I connect rj45 on external power supply I get the maximum connection speed.  I know there are settings of power management by right-clicking on the device and selecting Properties, then selecting the power management tab.  I saw an option in Vista and Win7 to reduce connection speeds when mobile devices are on battery.  However, I find this same setting in Windows XP.  Is there a way of selection/to-choose this option in XP as I found it in other Windows operating systems?

    I'm not sure that the lowering of the speed of connection to an Ethernet adapter will have something to with the conservation of energy, but if such a device is supported by your network adapter, it should be in the Advanced tab properties of the adapter dialog sheets.

    Because it is a laptop, the mfr of the laptop can also provided some separate power management utility.  For example, to disable the Ethernet adapter (do not drop speed) when on battery power is apparently a 'feature' of utility Quickset from Dell: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-internet-wireless/f/3324/p/18697956/18823743.aspx

  • Sat L20-102: need software for power management

    Hi, is there, a L20-102 Sat power management software provided by Toshiba? I can't find Power Saver for my model to download driver...
    With the standard windows power management, I have to manually reduce brightness when you go to the battery and the occasional fan runs at max speed for a second and then slows down the acceptable level, runs for a few seconds and then turns off...
    These "rpm max" chips are quite boring :(

    I see Power Saver has plenty of features, and probably he ' d suite my needs, but it is unavailable :/

    Is there a good alternative?

    Hello

    I know it sounds strange but your unit is pre-installed without intelligence tool. This is the reason why you can not find on the Toshiba download page. Please don t try to install this tool, designed for another unit, because you may have some trouble and many error messages. As far as I know all the tools must be adapted for each laptop model.

    On some devices, this tool only works if other components are installed. I guess L20's budget unit and for this reason, it isn't stuff as on other units.

    Good bye

  • Where can I find XP x 64 drivers for Portege R500 - hotkey / power management?

    Where can I find the downloads that will enable the power management or hotkey support for my Portege R500?

    I already installed the drivers for everything except the fingerprint reader (do not want), tpm (really envy) and hdd (tos620a) motion sensor (not embarrassed at this time). Most of the drivers are recent original sites of the seller or, in the absence of those, leaving Toshiba 64-bit Vista download areas.

    Everything else works generally: wifi, graphics & chipset, sound, lan, bluetooth stack, cardbus, card reader, etc.

    However, after doing this, are the following questions:

    FN keys do not work for suspend to ram, suspend-to-disk, * screen * brightness *-essential to extend the life. FN keys for digital/Board pad, rocker of external surveillance * work

    Dedicated toggle backlight button does nothing

    However, in order to get the lifetime of battery beyond ~2.5 hours and closest alongside 7.1 hours, I need to turn things down / stop occasionally. What software can help and where I can get, as it runs on Windows XP x 64 edition?

    Note:

    I tried packages of 32-bit xp which provides Toshiba, they do not seem to work on x 64. The package 'chopsticks' requires 'cmod', but 'cmod' gives this error:

    Installation of Modules common TOSHIBA
    Not an ACPI machine. Cannot install TOSHIBA ACPI peripheral logic.
    Ok

    I tried the 32-bit xp package called 'pwrsav '; It installs a bad help link in my Start menu and adds a few exes, tpsmain and tpsoddctl, to my automatically starts. These 32-bit executables left immediately after execution.

    I tried to install packages of 64-bit Vista from Toshiba hotkeys / common modules / power management, but the only one of the three I can find via toshiba.co.uk is the common modules, and unfortunately this zip file contains only .inf, .cat and .sys files, no program installation.

    Motivation:
    I use a new installation at the same time because the default installation of Vista is unusable (900 MB of memory used on a fresh startup desktop, disk divided into several partitions, trial, adware and with broken software at left and right)
    I use x 64 because I am software engineer the next product needs to work on x 64, and this new laptop was a likely first candidate

    Hello

    Bad news first :(

    The European driver Toshiba page provides the drivers for XP 32 bit and Vista (32-bit & 64-bit).
    I did find all the drivers for XP 64-bit OS.

    As much as I know XP 64-bit drivers is not exist for one of the series of Toshiba laptops.

    Now a new better ;)

    I found a tool called display Tuner.
    It offers convenient access to the monitor settings, such as brightness, contrast, color settings.

    Perhaps this is an option for you.
    Google a bit

  • automatically optimize for costs of life battery batt to 100% within the parameters of the power manager

    In the settings of my ThinkPad Power Manager W530, I chose the option "automatically optimize for life battery" (battery-> maintenance-> Mode of Charge of the battery). Nevertheless, he always fresh and keeps the battery at 100%. Is it normal for a battery 9 cells?

    Link to photo

    But many articles and discussions here at the forum State, actually in charge at 100% is not tor good battery life (see for example this article http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Welcome-FAQs-Knowledge-Base/How-can-I-increase-battery-life-ThinkPad/ta-... ). Do not miss anything?

    Thank you!

    Note of the moderator; image (s) for a total of > 50 K converted for the programming of the Forum rules

    No matter how many charge cycles the battery on it, just the time where you change the batteries maintenance mode. If you have configured to maximize battery life, the battery may charge at a lower percentage (somewhere around 90%, more or less a few percentage points), but will show this figure as "integral" or 100% for the system. If you change the mode to load completely, then the maximum capacity will change to read the actual capacity of the battery.

    The only way your situation would be a concern if, after setting the battery in order to maximize the battery life, then using the system on battery and load up once again, the battery always charged up to the full 94 w/h instead of reducing the number.

  • Satellite A135-SP4088: need drivers XP for power management and Hotkey utility

    Hello
    I could not find the drivers for the toshiba A135-SP4088, we bought 3 of them to the office and it is almost impossible to use with vista, so we go to XP SP2 and manage to get almost all pilots of the other models, but I can't find 2 utilities that work with this machine, they are:
    Toshiba power management (remember the bulb in the taskbar) :D

    Hotkey Utility (so I can change the brightness of the screen and go to hibernation (Fn + F4)

    I have al the rest works very well, but these two are a real problem, none of the ones I tested worked, some same crash XP and must return to a previous restore point.

    also, I did not install ACPI drivers, are they necessary?, what are those that show I'm looking for? given that the model does not exist in the csd.toshiba.com site.

    Now, how one of the largest manufacturers of laptops in the world can build a such nice computer without drivers for the most common operating system?, can someone explain me this because I sincerely do not understand.

    Thank you very much!.

  • Advanced Power Management under Windows 98SE for Satellite A75-S206?

    On my Satellite A75-S206, I have a partition on my hard drive under Windows 98SE.

    When I run Windows 98 on this model, the drive keeps spinning (does not turn down), the cooling fan is still running at high speed, I can't dim the monitor, or use any other feature of the advanced power management is available when running my XP partition. The utility of generic power in my Windows 98SE (Intel speed step) management does not address these problems, even if you use custom settings. The management utilities peak power supplied with recovery for this model CD only work on XP or Windows 2000, and these advanced power management utilities will not install on Windows 98.

    Is there a driver download, or is there software available for Windows 98SE downloads emulate advanced power management features that work on XP? Is there another workaround solution?

    Hello

    As far as I know, this unit was designed for the American market and came only with a XP Home and XP Pro OS.
    I checked the driver page Toshiba we and don t find all the drivers for Win98.
    Unfortunately, if you use the Win98, do without the features of Toshiba.
    Sorry, there is nothing to do.

    I used the option to return to the site, and last week I was informed by the team of Lenovo Web content that driver Lenovo Power Management for Windows 8 (32 bit, 64 bit), Windows 7 (32 bit, 64 bit), Vista (32 bit, 64 bit), XP - laptop version 1.66.0.22 has been released earlier to the update system and Retriever and it will be posted on the support site today.

  • Sleeps, even if configured for power management settings do not

    HI -.

    New installation of Win 8.

    Before that the drivers have been installed, I could leave my laptop on it overnight, and he stayed.

    Then I installed the power management driver, that produced a framework for "put the computer to sleep. I then put this on "Never" for the section of 'sector '. Whenever I leave the machine on the night... I wake up to it off, not only one headlight on all over her.

    Is there a thing if I want to leave this thing on?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I think that I understand the question. I pass the advanced power settings, scroll down and expand your sleep, then hibernate after. Choose one of the numbers and reduce the number as if you would go to 0, which actually appear as 'never '.
