Question on the working time of battery on Portege R500-12 s

Hello

We have a R500-12 s - Core 2 Duo U7700 1.33 GHz - 12.1 "TFT bought a few months running windows XP and it never watch a few hours of battery life remaining on the same XP battery indicator after a charge complete.

This happens with the power plan best setting for the life of the battery under XP.
I note that the Toshiba sales presentation text mentions a LIF battery of up to 8.5 hours, but can anyone else advise what dead battery they see leaving their R500?

I put a battery calibration program in control panel/menu start - everyone has one? Thanks in advance.

Hey Buddy

You mean you want to run the laptop on battery for more than 8 hours?  :|
Sorry, but I can't believe that I doubt that this is possible using the standard battery.

AFAIK the R500-12 was equipped with the battery of 3 cells 2900mAh.
Maybe you can run Notepad longer with a battery of stronger but I n t think only a 3a battery enough power for 8 hours.

Visit the Web of Toshiba Options & accessories and you should find some stronger batteries for this laptop.

Good bye

  • Question on the working time of the ASP in Africa is Uganda?

    Hi, I bought all new laptop m70-340 from Dubai two months ago. a display driver factory default. Taken to ASP in Africa is Uganda. It's been four weeks.

    Confused about what to do?

    Please suggest

    Hello

    I guess that there must be a hardware defect. In this case, the part needs to be replaced.
    This alternative procedure takes slightly more time as usual because the service partner needs to order the necessary parts from Toshiba.

    I think the delivery parts take more time in Uganda as European or other cheaper countries.
    I think you could contact the ASP in Uganda and ask the details of the repair and delivery time.

  • Re: Question on working time of battery on a Qosmio X 770 - 11 c

    Hello

    I got a 770 X - 11 c for 2 months now, and the battery life seems catastrophic.

    I expected to be short, but with the Eco mode on.

    Laptop was plugged all day I lit the night last battary and noticed that once in windows the battery see the load of 85% and less than 30 minutes, he was showing the 5%.

    This time was spent web browsing via wifi with the eco mode on.

    I believe, we should expect only about 45 min when the games, but I read the comments and docs tech showing 1 to 3 hours when just web browsing.

    I think 30 minutes is useless, it's not really a battery-powered device is a device with an integrated inverter >

    What time has everything the world of another summer do?

    Thank you

    Graeme

    Well, the page of the product Toshiba Qosmio - X 770-11 C provides information on the working time of maximum battery.
    Mobile Mark 2007 should be 2 h 30 min

    But in my opinion, it's just a theoretical value since the battery working time always depends on the use of the laptop.
    If you could get the 2.5 h only with low light and using low performance as browser internet for web browsing or similar applications.

    Play a game anywhere like HDD, CPU, GPU, cooling of modules even as the screen would go more high-performance and cela emissions and drain the battery very, very quickly

  • HP - 15 laptop: the estimated time to battery is incorrect!

    I recently got a new HP 15 notebook and I noticed that the estimated remaining battery time acted strange. When the battery is at 99%, the estimated time is 5 hours but 98%, 7 hours; and it's not always 7, I saw 9 as well. The point is, my laptop was caused the range estimated by a draw.

  • The display is loose on my Portege R500 - how to tighten the hinges?

    The display is loose on my portege r500.

    Does anyone know how to tighten the hinges?

    Hello

    I think that this procedure is very delicate and in my opinion it s a job for a technician.
    I m don't know if you can tighten the hinges if necessary he s need to replace the old hinges

    Is it the hinges are hidden under the plastic around the screen frame.
    The LCD mask is fixed with screws I m but not quite sure how much could be three screws. They are hidden under the mask of small cushions.
    You will need to remove and the tightness of the extra mask.
    Then you can remove the LCD mask. The hinges should be visible now

    But there s more complicated as it may seem the R500 is a nice unit, and it would be a shame that you would damage the LCD screen. The LCD screen is an expensive part, and in my opinion it is worth to ask a professional for help

  • Re: Satellite A100-491 - Question on working time of battery

    Nice day

    1 year ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba A100-491.
    Now, I noticed for about a month the battery working time amounts to only about 20 min. So I wanted to watch it once in the Internet, how the time of the battery of my laptop is with distribution.

    Under this side I did then also found.
    http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=de&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 123290

    Technology: Lithium-ion battery maximum running time: until 02:00 (mobile Mark) HR.
    For me, it is clear that the battery working time decreases, after awhile, but around over a year and a half hours, I find already strange.

    What should I do now?

    Many greetings, JaPf

    Hello

    Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
    This means that if you run some heavy performance applications like games, video or graphics programs, then the battery performance would decrease very quickly.

    But if you use common applications like word, or you can navigate on the internet then the laptop should work a little longer.
    In this case, something might be wrong with your battery and the battery should be checked and replaced.

  • Satellite L30-105: Question on working time of battery

    I think of buying one of them, but the 1.5 hours battery life put me off a bit.
    Can someone give a review? It's all good, and not really the battery only last an hour and a half?

    Thank you. : o).

    Well, the laptop uses a standard 2000mAh battery PA3450U.
    The 2000mAh isn't exceptional value.
    The laptop should run with battery about 1 h 30 min.
    Of course real time depends on the use of the laptop.

    But you can upgrade the farm a much stronger battery;
    To my knowledge the mobile phone should support:

    Battery Pack (6 cells, 4300mAh) PA3399U-1BRS
    Battery (Li-ion, 4000mAh, 6 cells) PA3465U-1BRS
    Battery (Li-ion, 4300mAh, 8 cells) PA3457U-1BR
    Extended capacity battery (Li-ion, 6000mAh, 9 cells) PA3478U-1BRS
    Battery high capacity Pack (Li-ion, 12 cells, 8600mAh) PA3400U-1BRS

    The 8600mAh battery is about 4 times stronger than the 2000mAh

  • Satellite U300-152: working time of battery is low

    I see that my battery life of laptop newly purchased is low.
    I tried to use the battery alone (not connected with sector and power adapter) and unloaded it completely until the computer went away by itself.

    Then I plugged the adapter for the laptop to recharge the battery, an orange light flashes on battery to show charge, after hours of waiting while the computer is on, I checked the State of the battery in the bottom right of the screen, he says: it was already fully charged to 100%.

    So I took out the power adapter to check how many hours would it take for the battery to use when the computer is turned on.
    To my surprise, it only shows 1 hour and 15 minutes.

    Does that mean my battery already have problems since its life expectancy is low only?
    I read the user manual, the life of the battery must be at least 1.5 days before he will be discharged completely.

    Can you enlighten us here?

    Thanks for your answers...

    > I read the user manual; the life of the battery must be at least 1.5 days before he will be discharged completely

    What? 1.5 days! Sorry, but I don't believe that and I think that it is not possible using the U300 only to batteries.

    I have an adapter Satellite A210 with a pre-installed Vista OS and I can run on battery for 1.5 hours

    But let's talk about facts;
    Is that battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
    The battery was more quickly dump everything by watching movies or playing games.
    If your race only some application like internet browser or Word and your screen brightness isn't defined at a higher level, and then the battery needed to dump more slowly.

    Please don t forget something important. you have preinstalled Vista.
    This OS eat laptops resources and needs more power than Win XP for example.

    I read somewhere on the internet that a same notebook with Windows XP pre-installed would be much longer as with Vista preinstalled.

    As you can see the battery working time depends on different factors.

  • Questions about the BIOS update and battery charge on Satellite M30 104

    Hey,.
    I try to update my BIOS, but it does not work because my battery won't charge any more, if a window always tells me that my battery is not enough. Yet, the reason why I'm updating my BIOS is that I read in a forum that might solve my problem of battery charging.
    I'm fairly certain that the battery is not the problem itself: I bought a new battery, it worked for 10 minutes once or twice, then again the load stop completely.
    If anyone knows what the problem is or how to update my BIOS, please...

    Hello Celia

    I am not a technician, but as far as I know, BIOS has nothing to do with charging the battery. In my opinion, there are some problems with e-procurement (electronic load). Sorry, but I imagine that you must contact the partner in your country.

    They have diagnostic tools and it can be verified. Please call and simply explain the situation.

    Good luck!

  • How can I control the working time so that the loop structure in the cases where the structure?

    Hi all

    My job is: Loop While structure generates the signal for 4 seconds when you press the 'start build' button, after that data has been backed up. You press the button "generate the beginning' once again, and the loop runs one again.

    My problem is: the first pressing, the loop, exactly 4 s (3, 999 s), but him second, third pressing on... The time elapsed is not 4 seconds, always smaller (even ~ s 0.003). The loop works correctly after press the "Exit" button and launch the program again.

    How can I control exactly time loop work While Structure without the press "Exit".

    Thank you any help!

    P/S: I used the number of cycles (ms) just to look at a working time of the While loop.

  • simple question for the first time the user: someone please be a hero

    Forgive the restorative nature of this question but the FM help files are surprisingly usless for the first time and users.

    I did successfully a rectangle graphic.  Now, I want to put some text in the rectangle.  I see that I can't just click on and type.  Apparently I have to, I don't know, do a "framework" of text or something?  I don't see why this is so complicated or why the help docs do not begin at the obvious base.

    Please throw me a bone and wander if this.  I use 9 FM, but I am sure that the version is not serious.

    Thank you!

    There are two possibilities to place text on a chart.

    One is to use the "text tool" in which you can type a string of text whenever you click on the slider.  You can format the string, but you cannot apply a character tag or a paragraph tag. And you can't put a carriage return make several lines; to do this, you need to add the additional lines of text.

    The line of text tool is the letter 'A' that appears in the icons when you consider > toolbars > toolbar graphics.

    Second method is to create a text frame, and then type in it. You can apply paragraph tags, tags of characters, use of CRs and so on in a text frame.

    Text frame tool is the small square with several lines in, just above the "A" icon in the Graphics toolbar.

  • Questions about the work in real-time

    Hello.  Just a few questions on usage in real time, in fact on the swf file.

    First of all, I want to create something of a drag and drop interface.  Is it possible to have a stage act as two separate steps?  I mean, is it possible to have the left side of my step hold all the components, they are moved to the right side of the scene and placed anywhere, the user can then click on save, and only the right side of the scene is saved?

    Secondly, I'm testing a few things.  What I would do to get a type of free transform on an image on the stage in real time, in the swf file?  So once the movie is played, the user can resize any image then how they like by dragging a corner of the image...

    Cheers for any advice.

    You can use 2 container (Sprite or MovieClip) objects one on left on the right.  All display list container objects have their own scene

    jou can so easily the steps as much as you want each independently controlled placed anywhere you want.

  • Question of the NEX Time Lapse app with fashion bed and the rising of the Sun.

    NOTE: this problem was first mentioned by me in the other thread about the app of time works do not (a thread "solved").  Wanted to separate this issue in its own thread so I hope this is seen and worked on...

    NEW PROBLEM?  I starts with the NEX - 5R regular automatic mode 'Greens', start the application of time and run in mode 'Sunrise' .  I then begin firing sequence before the sun rises.  It takes about 40mins (I use all the parameters of "sunrise" by default) and when I check the results I see that the exhibition was "locked-in" with the first shot taken.  That means the video created in the device starts properly exposed, gets brighter as the Sun starts to come will then completely saturated white until I see clouds of beautiful Sunrise 'red '!

    What is the way in which the mode of "Sunrise" is supposed to work?  I'm doing something wrong?  I think that with the changes in the brightness of the scene, the camera would be re-meter each image taken on not to bleed the scene as the sun rises.

    Everyone knows this too?

    Moderator: you can report?  (BTW: the Sunset function does the opposite for me also: scene will just completely black too fast as the sun sets.)

    Thank you
