Qosmio G10: Low battery - off after 20 min work life

Hi, I have a G10 for 1.5 years. Last week, the battery 'stops' after about 20 minutes of work. The one second it shows 88 percent and the second second is completely and you need to plug in the adapter again.

No idea what's wrong here? A battery may indeed be dead like this and so sudden?

Two related questions:
-J' still have the laptop in standby mode. I guess that can affect the performance of the battery, correct?
-Since I was the battery, I was always able to work approximately 1 to 1.5 hours on battery (normal internet navigation stuff). I always thought that this is normal given the notebook power. Today, I met someone who had a notebook of power simlar (other brands) but was able to work 5 hours! So, what is normal for a G10?

Thank you

Hello

For me, this looks like a malfunction of the battery.
I read somewhere on the net that battery life will be reduced after 500 time of loading/unloading procedures.
In addition it of important how you manage the battery. Generally, the battery must be freed and then you can charge the battery again.
It would be a process of optimum loading.

I have always the battery if I work with the main power supply. This should not be necessary with a new generation of batteries and laptops but I do this and my battery performance even more.

You wrote something on the use of cell phone only 5 hours on battery.
Unfortunately, but I don t think that. Of course, there are different batteries (9-cell, 12 cells, etc.) supporting better performance, but I put t think it's possible to use the powerful laptop with battery for 5 hours. The G10 uses a 2 hard drives, powerful graphics card, 16:10 display (TruBrite). Sorry, but all this characteristics need power.

However, in my opinion, you must replace the battery. Visit the accessories options 7 Toshiba for batteries compatible and very powerful

  • Qosmio G10-133 - battery not detected after upgrading to Windows 7

    Hello, I hope someone can help my frustrations here.

    In recent weeks, I successfully upgraded my laptop to Windows 7, an increase of memory to 2 GB, bought new power cord for laptop, new battery and resolved all the issues that Windows 7 has cast on me. The laptop and runs like one dream other than a question that seems to have had worse.

    The laptop no longer recognizes the new battery. (battery with a cross through it and a photo of current) For about a week after installing the battery, this has worked fine but now does not detect everything. I don't have any errors in Device Manager and windows recognized the ACPI etc battery inputs and has no problem. I also loaded the package of Toshiba value added that Windows 7 has found for me but still nothing. Battery not charge even though sometimes the battery works for about 30 seconds to start up if the battery is back removed and implemented, then stops again (once Windows loaded) I tried many things like the disabling of the driver, reinstall battery etc, but nothing. I tried the iniitally of battery with Windows XP and worked well.

    I have also searched the web and saw that many other laptops with Windows 7 have had this problem, including Toshibas. Some say update the BIOS, but Toshiba have not released an upgrade from the original in 2004 (which is for WIn XP Media Center), and there is no settings in my BIOS for ACPI etc.

    In addition, I can not calibrate the battery because I can't do anything with it. I don't think it's a question though.

    If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it or all the links to the drivers etc.

    If this is sorted my laptop should last for 5 years!

    Thanks for reading this.

    Hello

    First of all, I doubt that many other laptops equipped with Windows 7 have this problem. I've never heard of this and normally charge the battery will not be controlled of the OS. It happens automatically and your battery will be charged if the AC/DC is plugged. If the OS doesn't affect it!

    To be honest, I also don t know why your battery isn't detected, but what happens if you turn off the laptop and let the AC/DC adapter plugged in for 24 hours? After that, it should be possible to work on the minute of the battery for 1 hour or more.

    If this isn't the case, it seems to be a hardware problem, maybe the battery doesn t work correctly and should be replaced. You should contact the retailer where you bought

    By the way: some nice and interesting tips on battery:

  • Qosmio G10-137: blue screen after re-install using Recovery CD

    Hi all

    just got my qosmio G10-137 earlier this week after being under repair since the beginning of the month of January! Guys made the repair found no better then install the Dutch version of the operating system. I don't like this, then I took out my recovery CD and began the recovery. Everything works fine and I am asked to remove the media and reboot my PC.

    This beautiful laptop to start early and... Blue screen of death. Restarts, wonder how to restart... count up to normal reboot... BSOD... restarts, wonder how... I choose "Safe Mode"... BSOD... I choose the mode safe mode with prompt... the system.ini file is missing!

    It seems that the recovery CD is bogus.

    If someone has encountered this? Does anyone have any resolution?

    Kind regards
    Wim

    Hello

    It s very strange because the recovery CD was tested and install several times. It should work without any problems.
    I put t know where you come from, but the service partner should install the Windows operating system in the same language. In this case, if you bought the device in Dutch the recovery CD and the OS are in the Dutch language.
    Please note that you must use the same recovery CD that came with the device. Another recovery CD will not work.
    What you can do is to test the unit with an original CD of Microsoft Windows. It would be very interesting to know if the blue screen appears with the original Windows.

  • Qosmio G10: Question about warranty after registration

    Early last year, I bought my G10.
    I signed it, but I do not have the 1 year warranty
    in fact, I was part of the 1st bought.

    Now, barely 20 months of notebooks mainboard died. I am now asking to pay 1500 swiss franc for repairs. From this forum, I understand that the record should give me an extra blanket for one year.

    Please help someone

    Hello

    As far as I remember the common warranty between 12 months and after registration, you will get more than 12 months.

    When you register the laptop? Register after malfunction or immediately after the purchase of laptop?

    I found another announcement that you post here:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=17192

    I think that if you tried to save the laptop after the failure so that the warranty does not cover repairs.
    As far as I know the service partner can see the data and the time of recording.

    So in my opinion if you have saved the laptop after the failure, so you won't get the warranty extensions.

In power options, with turned battery notification low and critical it keeps beeping. Only muted support. It must be connected with some software from Toshiba, anyone know how to disable? Please help me, it s so annoying!

    Hey Buddy,

    I'm not quite sure, but AFAIK this low battery beep could be also caused by the BIOS

    If I remember well in the BIOS there is an option called beep, beep PC or similar and you should disable this option. That means the computer won't no beep sounds.

  • HP Pavilion notebook15-ab035ax: computer HP Pavilion 15 laptop turns off suddenly on low battery

    I bought my hp laptop Pavilion in India. Now, I live in England. For the last month or two, I have problems with my laptop. Whenever the laptop is on battery power, it does very quickly. It randomly stops (no stops, just turned off with a gut wrenching tinkling of the hard drive) at any time under load of 50%. no notification of low battery or go into hibernation. It can happen in the middle of typing a sentence or you to browse.

    I ran the diagnostic. Software battery check HP first showed a result of "low battery." I was about to order a new battery, when I ran the software once again, who now says "main battery OK.

    It's very confusing, because even if we agree that the battery has developed a problem, I do not understand why the system is not detect low battery or putting the computer to Hibernate, depending on settings. I checked the drivers - updated.

    The laptop is just a year and 3-4 months.

    Should I replace the battery? Or is it a software error in the new upgrade of windows 10?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    6 s iPhone will turn off after starting with30% battery left please help

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

    As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.

  • Qosmio G10 134: the screen freezes after repair

    Hello

    Earlier my Qosmio G10 had to be repaired because of the vertical-bars-in-screen-and-broke-down-videocard-problem. They gave me a new motherboard and Nvidia Go 6600 and the problem was solved. I hoped... Because then I couldn't not to use the graphics card for more than 5 minutes.

    When I start playing a game, or so it takes 5, maybe 10 minutes in mind for my screen to freeze. Then precious is unresponsive to anything, even to the Microsoft-Magic-Combination-Ctrl-Alt-Del. very annoying to say the least... Does this sound familiar to anyone?

    Hello

    I agree with the agramer. It is possible to s that you got different but better graphics card. On this page, I read that some users who repaired the laptop got a different card because the original of the delivered graphics card was off live.

    In this case, you should check your device for details of the map Manager and if necessary, you must install the right graphics card driver.

  • No notification low battery and my computer off always just, I have all the right settings on

    I bought my laptop now for about 6 months and the part most annoying, is that there is never a low battery notification before my laptop into hibernation. He never showed once.

    The battery meter is active and shown in my system tray. I have entered in options power, modified the options advanced battery low, critical and reserve levels as well as turned ON low battery notification. In the system tray properties > notification area > customize > I also selected "Show icon and notifications".

    The website of microsoft windows 7, as well as many other forums only suggest to do those 2 things. I did these two things, that they were the original settings when I bought this laptop new... What can I do else? Y at - it a patch download, anything? I'd rather not install 3rd party software. I just wish my laptop works properly. I'm not a big player or studying, I just use my laptop to surf the web and watch videos. I also use free Avira Antivirus, if all this is important for why a battery notification will not be displayed.

    Edit: My friend and I bought the same computer exactly the same day. Notifications of his shows and mine doesn't so I know it's possible.

    Simply open your

    "Control Panel"

    and then 'power option' then

    "change advance power settings".

    Here, select the profile you want to be active (energy saving, high performance, etc.)

    Then do scroll up to 'battery' to develop and find "low battery notification" and turn ""on ' for the two 'on battery' and ' connected"and you will." "
