On Satellite L50-B-1NL battery problem

Community salvation.

I bought this model of laptop in August and noticed problems with the battery.

Recently, the laptop will stop when the operating system said that it was still more than a year and a half hours of charge left. I have recalibrated the battery and it was working fine after that, until about 10 days later when he repeated the same behavior.

I checked the preinstalled Toshiba Health Monitor, which reports the battery has no problem, I was wondering if anyone here has experienced this problem on this page or a similar model?

I am currently using the 'eco' power setting which is the default value for this computer and the operating system is Windows 8.1.

Are there known issues with the recent Windows operating system who had misconstrued the battery that I may know?

All the tips are greatly appreciated.

Windows system does not affect the performance of the battery, but Windows system provides some battery settings in the Windows power options.

In Control Panel-> settings-> advanced options power options power station, you will find the settings in the farm.
Here, you can configure when the laptop should power off.

But to be honest I don't know if all the settings would be responsible for your problem of battery power m.

It looks that the laptop does not report the level of battery power so I recommend to calibrate the battery once more, if the problem would still appear, you need to replace the battery.

  • Upgrade memory on Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1NL

    Yesterday, I bought the Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1NL of argos. It came with 4 GB of RAM. I want to upgrade to 8 GB. Does anyone can help with the upgrade process. Will also be empty RAM level warranty.

    Concerning
    SD

    I m not L50 - B owner but I guess that there is no separate access to the modules of memory at the bottom of the unit.
    Right?

    In this case its necessary to remove the plastic cover of the bottom and this will definitely void the warranty!

    If you want to keep the warranty valid, don t update the RAM yourself.
    This must be done by an authorized technician.

  • SATA on Satellite L50-B-1NL speed

    I would like to replace the 1 TB of HARD drive on my Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1NL with an SSD. How fast is the SATA interface?

    It will use most of the SATA 3?
    Thank you

    I think that the laptop supports the HM86 Chipset Mobile Intel as well as Intel Core i3 4005U processor
    Could you confirm this?

    According to the Intel ARK page, the chipset supports 4-port SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA 3).

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1NL running on Windows 8.1. I am trying to turn off the tap to click on the touchpad, option I think it's way of sensitive causes increased frustration.

    I searched on Google and it says there is an option to turn of the touchpad, but when I go in my option to disable settings, it is the only one missing? Is there a way I can turn off the tap to click as it makes me mental.

    If I understand you well want to disable touchpad, right.
    You can do this using the combination of keys FN + F5 or F5 key only.

    Please open the operating manuals and page 58. It you and find information very useful on the use of the F-keys.

  • Satellite L50 and SSD - performance problem

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L50-A-1EH and the first thing I did was to replace the hard drive with an SSD.
    Initially the SSD is not recognized by the BIOS, like many other users across the Internet reported as well.

    To prove this statement here are other people having the same problem, and people have tried different SSD.

    Link: [1st edition SSD | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Troubleshooting/E45t-cant-detect-Samsung-840-pro-SSD/td-p/503785]
    Link: [2nd edition SSD | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Troubleshooting/Switching-HDD-to-SSD-on-Satellite-S55-A5176-Problem/td-p/590778]

    The problem can be solved by changing a setting in the BIOS.

    [The SATA interface parameter] [enforcement] to [battery life].

    However, this workaround solution comes with a cost, which is performance.
    The SSD is able to transfer files at a speed of 500 MB/s.

    However, in this mode the SSD transfers files at 133 MB/s.
    I lose 4 x the speed of the SSD.

    In my view this problem in the BIOS.

    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    With sincere friendships.
    Arthur BOULELLI.

    I also discovered today that is not serious if I am running in mode UEFI BIOS (CSM).

    Combined with AHCI BIOS mode it takes [parameter] Interface SATA for battery life, otherwise the SSD is not recognized.

    The Toshiba using the latest firmware (to July 23, 2014), which is v1.70.
    The SSD is a Samsung 840 Evo and has the latest firmware, which is EXT0BB6Q.

    Given that the SATA interface is set to battery life, the SATA interface is set to SATA1, who of course tops out at 133 MB/s.

    For me, it is simply amazing that a laptop with a Core i7-4700MQ the year 2014 cannot detect an SSD SATA3.

    Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this?

  • Satellite L50-B916 - wireless connection problem

    Hello

    I bought my Toshiba Satellite L50 B916 less than 6 months ago and had to download all the drivers for myself because for some reason, the operating system has not come with her.

    Went to the site of TOSHIBA MEA to download and install the corresponding drivers.
    Downloaded the Atheros wireless driver.

    Still, the Internet connection disconnects on my laptop, but works fine on other laptops and devices.
    Not just a connection, all the ones I tried to connect to.

    Tried to remove Atheros and re - install, it worked fine for a few days, but the connection disrupt again.

    What should I do to solve this very annoying problem?

    Hmm... made it happen using the laptop in battery or also while mode that the adapter is connected to the laptop?

    It might be possible that the powers of WiFi, saving settings are enabled, and therefore stops the WiFi connection.

    Reach:
    Windows power options - choose the right central - advanced power options.
    Search of the WLan card settings and set it to "best performance".
    You must also set the parameters for the PCI express for the 'best performance '.

    In addition, go to the Device Manager. Choose here the Wlan card properties
    Switch to the last tab called "Power Management" and make sure that the option available in this tab is not checked!

  • Satellite L50 - A - 16 Q - problems after upgrade to 8.1 windows

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L50 - A - 16 Q.

    I decided to update my laptop to Windows 8.1 Win8, unfortunately, it was really bad decision.
    After that my computer is very slow. It takes forever to push the power button to be ready to use browser. Even Chrome does not work correctly. Before the update, my computer was big, fast and stable.

    Is there anyone who had simillar problem? Is it possible to go back to Windows 8 without destroying my C: drive?
    Maybe I should install something more?
    All drivers or another update?

    I just install Win 8.1 update and nvidia drivers graphics.

    Hello

    To be honest, I put t understand the decision to return to Win 8.
    Win 8 contained many bugs that have been fixed with Win 8.1

    Two days ago, I upgraded my new Satellite M50 - A Win Win 8 to 8.1.
    It took some time but finally win 8.1 run on my laptop and its great!

    First of all, you must update the 8 8.1 Win win recommendation of Toshiba:
    Details:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/
    All Toshiba drivers, utility tools must be updated!

    With regard to the starting time:
    You know the hybrid mode? Default (Win 8) did not stop you probably know other systems like Win 7 offshore. The 8 winning performed the closed hybrid that allows you to boot up the laptop faster. But this has been closed not real mode.

    Here is a good description how toggle this mode:

  • Satellite A300D-11 q battery problem

    Hello!

    I was on the point of start almost the same topic, when I saw there was very similar question several hours - [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=61884&tstart=0]. Yet, I decided to share my problem.

    I have the Satellite A300D-11 q PA3534U-1BRS 4000 mAh battery and 10.8 V.
    The difference in my case is that I bought a new battery, PA3533U-1BRS, 7200 mAh, 10.8V, but a third-party manufacturer.
    Before that, I was told by the official service of Toshiba PA3533U-1BRS is compatible with my computer. Of course, this trusted third party (Brainydeal, a U.S.-based company., but the battery is made in China, by AGPTEK). It was pretty tempting as the price was half that quoted by Toshiba for a 6000 one mAh. And there were 16/16 sides of 5 stars on Amazon for the same battery.

    So, the problem. I had very similar flashing red LED, but nevertheless the battery could be charged and was able to power the laptop for about 2 hours. However, the computer could not get information nor on the level of load (and therefore couldn't not to assess what is the period of hibernation, so was suddenly stopped), voltage, or manufacturer.

    And the model seems to be PA3593U-1BRS depending on the software (Lavalys Everest and also BatteryMon).
    I've had a few matches clumsy with Brainydeal where they assured me that the battery is high quality and all going well, 3593 is compatible with my laptop model.

    Finally, I returned it to the manufacturer for replacement, and yesterday, I received a new. However, the same is happening again.
    Exactly the same thing.

    Before writing back to the manufacturer, I decided to check here for review.
    May be the battery Electronics is a failure?
    Or could it be somehow related to the fact that the computer is purchased the battery - of the USA and Europe? Or I just had very bad luck?

  • Satellite L50 - B DC/battery light always on

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite of month 5 L50-B-1U8 where battery/DC never light. The light is still orange, except when the AC adapter is plugged in and the battery is fully charged, to which cases it becomes white. When I unplug and Hibernate / shutdown of the computer for the night, the light is still on (orange) the morning!

    The manual says amber means the laptop is plugged in and the battery is charging. I can see when I plug in the adapter, the intensity of the amber light increases. He returned to a somewhat paler orange when I remove the AC adapter. But never turns off the coast, unless I have physically remove the battery.

    Someone had a similar problem? Any ideas of what could be the problem and how to fix it?

    Thanks for any help!

    I have S50 Satellite - B and the principle of the LED DC is the same but on my machine, the LED is off when laptop is not in use.
    Problem is that it doesn't have any option for this and it all works automatically. You cannot change anything. All we can do is to make a few small changes in the BIOS or Windows, but it has nothing to do with the behavior of LEDs. I presume that it is controlled by the electronic supply, placed on the motherboard.

    Maybe you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help or explanations.

  • On the new Satellite C50-A-19U battery problem

    Hello

    A few days ago I bought a new notebook Satellite C50-A-19U.

    Everything works without problems, except when I unplug the power cable, the battery level goes from 100% to 50% both.

    If I try to charge the phone, battery load normally up to 50% and then spend 50% to 100%.

    Anyone facing this problem?

    I don't really know what may be the problem here. Try to use the battery until it will be completely empty and let it be fully charged again.

    Please watch carefully if the same happens again and send feedback.

  • Satellite A100-225 - charging battery problem

    Hi people,

    My Satellite A100-225 can't hold the charge when running. If I use processor heavy applications, the battery will drain in about half an hour and recharge only when the cover is closed (standby mode) or the laptop is turned off.

    When the exhausted battery and the laptop turns off, I have to remove the battery, press the on/off switch, replace the battery, then let it charge for a while before I can use it again.

    The laptop will power any if I remove the battery and the runoff of current alternative.

    I tried a spare battery, but exactly the same thing happens.
    I also updated the Bios with the latest version (6).
    Laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition.
    Laptop is out of warranty.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    See you soon
    Steve

    Looks like a hardware problem. I mean, if your battery runs out when the machine is connected to the pit of the wall adapter (this is what I did not understand), so something in the subsystem of your laptop power goes down.

    Have you ever sent the machine to a partner of service authorized or is the machine still under warranty?

  • 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 L500 - 1 7 battery problem

    Hi all

    I recently bought a new laptop, the Satellite L500 - 1 7. It works well except that I have a question: I am aware of the fact, that the battery lasts about 2-2, 5 hours. But is it normal to make the computer stop when the sign of the battery watch 22% (happens after about 2.25 hours)? Then, as soon as I put in the power cable, the battery sign indicates suddenly 5%.
    Is - this usual or something wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    At first, I must say that 2.5 hours working time on battery power is really great and it is the same with my Satellite A300.

    To be honest, the whole story is a bit strange to me. Usually before the laptop shuts you should hear and see battery alarm when the critical power level is reached.
    Please try to change these settings in the advanced power settings and watch what is happening exactly. Set it to 10 or 15% and also the settings what should happen when the critical threshold is reached (Standby/Hibernate / OFF switching).

    If the critical level is 5%, I can't imagine the laptop turns off 22% without this battery alarm message.
    How do you know that's going to happen on 22% when the laptop turns off suddenly?
