New Satellite A100 - charge the battery before turning on?

Hello

I'm new in the world of laptops and I will get an entry level Toshiba A100
Today, however, I am worried as to the time, I first want to charge the battery for 8 or so hours before starting the machine for the first time?

I ask because I heard that you can compromise the ability to charge using the battery when it is
already low (the 1st time) and configuration of the laptop, is it true?

Your help is very appreciated.

See you soon

Hello

The fact is that the new laptops also come with new batteries and the batteries are empty. All laptop manufacturers offer portable computers with batteries.
It s not unusual State.
Of course, you can connect the AC adapter and start the laptop computer. While working on the laptop, the battery may charge.

  • Satellite A100 - save the battery when the laptop in a longer retention

    Hi, I have a * Satellite A100 * about 4-5 years. There was no intensive use (it's hospitality do not work) and is in good shape.

    I go there for at least 6 months and will PLAN A - most likely need to put the computer in stock, that is to say. No one will be able to access. PLAN B - there is a very low probability that someone could "baby sit" it but it can't count on him.

    Can anyone suggest what is the best way to deal with the LiOn battery in the above two cases?

    Can I remove or leave in the laptop?

    Is there a way to stop the battery completely dead while in storage / is not not in use?

    Thanks... any advice appreciated.

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion it makes no difference if you put the battery 6 months or leave it in the computer. In both cases, the battery must be charged because it also loses power when it s turned.

    If nobody is using the computer you can remove the battery, otherwise and someone would use you can install the battery.

  • Satellite A100-543: the battery appears dead

    My battery died yesterday after I plugged it to my computer. In fact the computer turn off at this time. A burning smell has occurred and after, I tried to start the computer again and it works but the battery seems dead. When I'm on windows with the battery, it is written that it does not load, but I have my doubts because the computer recognizes that there is the battery.

    So I would like to know if this could be something between the battery and the motherboard that is dead or if I can use my warranty. The strange thing is that other people use the same plug that I used without problem, I think, so that the battery has a problem before.

    Thank you.

    Don t know exactly what's wrong, but it certainly looks like a hardware malfunction.
    The A100 is a new machine and the guarantee must be valid and must cover all the trouble with the material.

    Take my advice and don t spend a lot of time for the investigative measures which could be bad or not.
    Simply contact the ASP in your country and explain the problem guys

    I think everything should be done for free!

  • Satellite M50 - charges the battery only when stopped

    My Satellite M50 battery only when stopped. Does this mean that when I work I'm still running on batteries, which of course carry out completely after 1 to 2 hours. Then I shut down the computer and it started charging again (orange led), and after a few hours, I still have a 100% charged battery.

    Of course, this means that the computer is not available. Until a few weeks ago it used to have the same problem if I disconnected the power plug then reconnected it: the battery needed to dump then to 0%, even if the power is connected, but now the problem is constant.

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS, I could find and even completely reinstall windows from the recovery disks, but the problem is still there. The computer is a Toshiba Satellite M50 - 126 model PSM51E, the BIOS is Phoenix BIOS v2.10

    Is it possible that the BIOS is damaged of some sort? I tried to reinstall V2.10 but he told me that I have the same version and it will not be installed.

    Hi lartech,.

    You can recharge the battery if you get into the BIOS and made the battery charging icon light?
    Are you using the original Toshiba AC/DC adapter and battery?

    In the worst case, it s a malfunction of the motherboard, and you have done what you can do: BIOS update and to install Windows from the recovery disc. If this doesn't help s a bad hardware work.

  • 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 A100 - 166 PSAA9E will not charge the battery

    Hello

    My laptop will not charge the battery.
    Although Windows Xp recognize the battery and says loading, the battery does not charge.
    I tried with a spare battery that I thought that the battery was faulty, with the same results.

    Strange thing is, when I turn off the laptop the power led remains lit and the blue, even without the power supply attached therefore discharge the battery.
    The battery led is still orange but not load!

    What is the problem with the laptop?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Generally, there are three possibilities;
    (1) the adapter is faulty
    (2) the battery is faulty
    (3) the logbooks electronic malfunctions (ESF)

    So now he of needed to check all these steps to find the fault.
    You said you've tried different batteries and AC adapter works too.
    So it is possible that there is something wrong with the electronic power supply

    In this case there is not much to do to contact the ASP in your country. Technicians should check the portable and should run diagnostics tests

    I recommend contacting the guys and ask for more details and manipulation still good luck and happy new year.

  • Should I charge the battery on my NEW phone, or drain before charging them.

    I just got the new Motorola DROID. I use my phone a lot, so I want to make sure I have keep the longest possible battery life. The employee who helped me to the Verison store told me not to worry charing the phone immediately, and it's only something that needed to be done with the old phone batteries. In the box with my Droid came instructions that said to charge the battery for a full 12 hours to ensure the smooth operation and maximum battery life. Which is correct?

    Load completely before use.  12 hours is not fair.  Load until the light goes out.  Air conditioning is not necessary on these batteries.  And, if possible, they should not be drained completely between charges.  There are several good sites FAQ for battery litium on internet.

  • On the new Satellite C50-A-14W battery problem

    A few days ago, I bought Toshiba Satellite c - 50 a - 14w. The accumulator is recharged normally (at 100%), but when I plug the computer in the farm shows that 72% charged.

    This means that the battery is broken?

    Hello

    New battery needs to be calibrated in case to reach full performance.

    To calibrate the battery, you must charge the battery until the battery indicator turn green (or blue). Then disconnect the power adapter and keep the battery discharge until it is completely empty.
    This procedure should be repeated two, three times in the line.

    If the battery charge status would not be changed, even if the battery has been calibrated, you should get in touch with Toshiba authorized service provider to check or replace the battery.

  • Satellite L755 would not charge the battery

    Hi all. I bought a new laptop today... it wouldn't charge the battery so I exchanged in-store. The replacement also has this problem. I'm doing something wrong or I was just unlucky?

    The battery in the bottom right of the screen icon tells me that the battery is 0% charged, but he is in charge. The red light on the laptop before left turns as if to show that the battery is being charged also.

    Yet battery does not charge.

    If I unplug the laptop from the network, the laptop turns off instanty.

    It is today the second laptop brand new with the same problem. Maybe a part of a lot of battery defective or is - a problem that can be corrected with the software? I don't want to take the laptop to the store for a second time in the day.

    Hello

    If the laptop stops immediately after that the AC adapter is not unplugged, it means that the battery is empty and not loaded.
    Are you sure you plugged the battery correctly into the battery bay?
    Please check if the battery is well suited.

    In addition, I recommend to remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Then press the power button / stop along 30 seconds and reconnect the two parts.
    Then leave the laptop connected to the network for a longer period of time (2-3 hours).
    Then check the battery charge level

    If he would always stay at 0% then I recommend you visit the dealer and check the other unit or the battery.

    Hello

    If you have tried different batteries and new AC adapter and the battery still wouldn't load, then I would say; This s hardware problem of the motherboard.

  • 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.
