Qosmio F10: battery life

I have a Qosmio F10 (2 months) and am pretty disappointed with the battery life.
20 minutes running on battery at full power yesterday and the computer was turned off (3%)...
Forget watching a DVD on the plane!
I wonder if it is a BIOS issue or if there is no possibility to buy a more powerful battery.
It seems to me that this computer was designed to run on a/c with the battery pack in as a secondary power (short!) option.
Any comments?
Also, did anyone tried these plane Chargers sold in airports?

Hello

In my opinion, you should try to set up your Qosmio for optimal battery usage. To optimize the battery DURATION use the Toshiba Power Saver utility. "TOSHIBA Power Saver" allows according to the specific use power management allows the reduction of the power consumption of your device and allows you to use your PC for a longer period when running on battery.

You can reduce your energy consumption PC mainly for its use by reducing the brightness of the screen LCD or CPU processing speed. There are also various games of management settings power or 'profiles', prepared in advance. These profiles are designed to be used in some of the most common environments of the user. You can use these standard profiles or create your own profiles based on your own custom power management settings.

I'm sure that all the settings of this can help you to use the device for a longer time. To watch DVDs using DVD player profile. You can change the profiles using the FN + F2 key combination.

  • Qosmio F60 - battery life when it is off

    Gooday guy-

    Can you say how long a fully charged battery should last when the machine is turned off the power and do not use it.

    Hey,.

    I think that you ask this question because you lose the battery if the laptop is turned off. Right?

    Well, in this case you should disable wake up LAN, wake up on keyboard and USB Sleep & Charge. All of these options, you can find in the BIOS (F2).

  • Qosmio F60 - 14F - battery life

    Hello world!
    I read a few topics on the life of the battery, the charge of a Yes, but I've always seen a cuple of questions.
    I bought a Toshiba Qosmio F60 - 14F a month ago and I am not so happy with the battery life. When I use my computer only to write in word and without another application turn and at the level of energy Eco, lights, optical unit off... Batt live for the hour 01:50.

    I would like to know if this life is normal, if I can increase this life to 2 hours or more. I don't think due to I have read it seems that this battery life is used, so I would like to know too if there is another type of battery with more life. This is a 6cells 10.8V and 4200mAh.

    Thx a lot

    Hey,.

    If you already have a life of dough about 01:50 hours, why you want to increase to 2 hours? 01:50 is already almost 2 hours, so I think everything is ok.

    Don t forget that Qosmio is a mobile game / multimedia high-end with lots of powerful hardware. It takes more energy as usual so it s not ultra portable but, in my opinion 01:50, is already a good value for this kind of high-end hardware.

    If there is another battery you can get a provider of service authorized in your country. You should ask the guy if there is another battery.

  • Qosmio F10: after 2 days battery is empty

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Qosmio F10

    my computer is full battery and I now do normal shotdown. two days later I open it but battery empty.
    Why? very important to me...

    THX

    Hello

    It is well known that the battery lose capacity if it is not in use and it can happen that after a few days, it is not power. As far as I know this topic is described in s operating manuals.
    It is as if the unit uses a standby mode.

    In any case the battery should not be empty after only two days if the device is not correctly. Try to contact the service partner and ask them professional advice. AFAIK consulting service is free.

  • Long battery life suitable Qosmio X 300

    Hi all.

    I would buy an extended battery for my Qosmio X 300 15 U.
    Can't seem to find one here (Italian language)
    http://it.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/optionsAndAccessoriesSearch.do?service=it&selOptio nCategory = 4703 & selProduct = 1055522 & id = 22 #a22

    How can I find:

    (1) my special feature type/model/broaching/whatever of current battery to check compatibility
    (2) a long battery life, suitable for my laptop model. (the current life is about 1 hour, depending on the load of HW)

    I would stick with the Toshiba products, but other vendors are OK. Europe or Italian is the best.

    Thanks a lot for any pointer.

    Diego

    I checked the support from Toshiba for some x 300 models page and I found no place where Toshiba offers several different types of battery for this model of laptop.
    For example, I know that Toshiba has offered different battery types (different number of cells) for many other models of mobile phone, but not for these portable multimedia Monster.

    They have designed activities video games and powerful and the best result is with the settings of high performance and, of course, with high power consumption.
    This multimedia laptops are certainly not designed to work with power supply battery.

  • Qosmio F10: new battery needed

    My name is Batool Mohdhir, I was wondering if you could help me with something, please. I have a toshiba Qosmio F10 and I need new batteries that my batteries are ruined for some reason any! the model # I found written on my battery Li-ion battery model is PA3285-2BRS. I found on several sites in the same farm, except that its 1BRS. I don't know what that means! It is suitable for my laptop or is it not? If not, where can I buy the model I need online? What websites is the best to buy online laptop parts? and also I need an adapter model PA-2521U-1ACA, but I could not find. What other adapters are suitable for the Qosmio F10? I'm looking forward to your hearing you soon.

    Hello

    At a first of all welcome to the Toshiba Support forum. I hope that you will find here information quite useful.

    Back to your question: I checked the Qosmio specification and there is that your device needs to follow the described parts:
    Power adapter - PA2521E-2ACA or PA2521U-2ACA (90W)
    Battery - PA3285U

    I put t know in which country you live but if there is no Toshiba service partner you can order directly by them. Another way to check if you can find some offereor online in your country where you can order the parts you need. I'm sure you can find some not Toshiba universal AC adapt, but I prefer the use of original parts.

    Bye and good luck!

    Hello

    It s depending on the applications that you can run for how long you can work on battery. For example, if you play games I doubt the battery life is more than an hour, probably only 30 or 45 minutes because all the pieces of equipment running with high usage.

    To improve the battery life, you can reduce the brightness of the screen and use to surf the Internet for example eco-mode.

    Here are also a few interesting tips you can do:

  • Qosmio F10 - noisy fan & replacement

    My Qosmio F10 comes up to 3 years & cooling fan now sounds a bit like an angle with a grinder knocked on the landing when it starts. Now this laptop has had 3 years of intensive use & abuse, sometimes running 24-7 weeks & despite all my friends to go through the changes of motherboards (& for them 3 times) I've only had to change the battery & hard drive.

    He always does everything I want it so I'm reluctant to immediately obtain a new & spend a lot of money that I don't have, if someone can tell me if its possible to change the fan myself, or at least clean up (I did several times without any problems on my Toshiba laptop not old to 6 years old several times since I found the instructions on how to disassemble it).

    Any help would be appreciated
    Thank you
    John

    Well, what to say I put t recommend disassemble the laptop because it may be damaged another aircraft or parts. This disassembly must be performed by a technician for laptop.
    But the fact is that the laptop everything must be removed if you want to replace the cooling module.

    Here on this website you can find an instruction how to open the cover of laptop Toshiba Qosmio F15. The F15 is very similar to the F10.

    But I think that a cleaning procedure simply would work too

  • Dysfunction of Qosmio F10 Windows MCE TV Tuner

    Hey everybody

    I use a Qosmio F10. Now for a few good years, anyway he came the age old time do a restore cd revovery just to speed him up again and the dealer him a new lease of life.

    Everything worked fine after the relocation outside the TV in Media Center, there is no option to watch TV in the program, and whenever I try to go into the settings of the TV I get the message "the tuner is defective or not installed. Please make sure that the tuner and a driver are installed. »

    I installed the latest driver, and I can get the TV running using the Qosmio player, so the problem seems to lie with Media Center. I don't know what else to try, everyone has to get suggestions?
    -Stu-

    Hello

    Have you installed all the updates?
    In addition, the TV tuner driver you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver is designed for MCE. AFAIK the Qosmio player uses the own TV tuner driver.

    The pilot on the Toshiba page has been changed to 08/01/05. It s a 1.0.26 version.

  • Battery life

    Someone else has problems with how long does the battery last? I just bought mine yesterday and the battery life is very short. I am very disappointed. He had a full charge to 01:00 and I put it and when I woke up at 7:30, it was like 26%.

    Hello

    Battery life varies depending on use and other factors.

    During tests, for example, Apple has reached 18 hours of battery life with the next use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of usage of the app and a workout of 30 minutes with Apple Watch Bluetooth music playback.
