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.

Good bye

  • 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 A100 PSAA9C does not work without the battery inside

    I'm having a strange problem with a laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA9C-SK900E).

    The machine will not work without the battery in it. If the power supply is connected in the machine and the wall, it will power without the battery installed. If I install the battery, let it load completely (battery LED goes from orange to blue and the plug LED is blue) then start the machine it will work for a period of time (more than an hour depending on what I'm doing) then suddenly turns off.

    If I restart the machine, it will work for a very short period (sometimes only for a few minutes) just before going off.

    If I do this a couple times, the machine will be not even by post before turning off.
    If I let the machine to recharge, it runs for a while and then do the same thing after using it for a while.
    If the battery is pooched, which is fine with me. How to operate with only the power supply of the machine?

    As I type this I'm suspecting that the adapter cannot be taken out the required voltage/amperage. (adapter is not still hot when charging, are my other laptops) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If I understand your assignment, the laptop does not power up without the battery
    But it will light if the battery is connected.

    The question is; Is the power led on if the AC adapter is plugged?
    If this isn't the case, then it means that the power adapter is faulty and so the laptop cannot be turned on by using only the AC adapter.

    I think you should test a new adapter. Maybe it helps!

  • 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

  • General problem with Satellite A100-491

    I have a laptop Satellite A100-491 and also the Toshiba Windows Vista HP Express installed update. It worked without any problems for half a year. Now whenever it starts, an error fatal system occurs and I tried to repair Windows, to re - install and use the recovery disk, but nothing has worked.

    Sorry, but your ad is pretty confusing to me. Just the question: you can use your laptop with the new installation of operating system (using the recovery DVD)?

  • Satellite A100: FN keys not working not not on Windows XP

    Hi there, Im new to this, so hopefully someone can help.
    Some time ago my hard drive had serious problems and I replaced it.

    But with that I also had Windows XP like some things that I really didn't like about vista.

    Anyway, since then my function keys on the 'F' keys and my media keys on the left side of the laptop are not working, can anyone suggest to me what I can do?

    If it is a driver or something there, and if so, where can I get it?

    Hello

    First of all, you should check your model number of the laptop.
    The European driver Toshiba page provides drivers for five different sets of Satellite A100!
    In order to choose one that fits!

    If you want to use the FN buttons please ensure that your common Toshiba Module driver has been installed! This is important. In addition the Hotkey Utility must be installed as indicated by the above user.

    Toshiba button near the power button are controlled by the Toshiba driver controls!

    I think that these drivers should help you get the laptop works properly.

  • Satellite A100 controls do not work

    I have a satellite A100 496, PSAA8E model number and since I got it, I was never able to use the buttons on the side.

    I tried to install the common Modules as it said on some forum discussions, but nothing changes.

    What else do I need to install?

    At first, I must say that something like that is definitely not possible. Why? The laptop comes with the pre-installed operating system (factory settings). All these buttons are designed to work with pre-installed software (IE7, Windows Media Player, WinDVD years also with a Toshiba DVD player).

    Because of this I can't believe you have this from the first day. Now the question: did you install your own operating system or you always use factory settings?

  • Satellite A100-599 - question about updating the display driver

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphics card and I like most of you Bioshock game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb... Meanwhile, NVIDIA has released some new patches for the Forceware and after I double checked the database of the Toshiba driver support I've seen a new version in the list of display driver for WinXp.

    One of them seems to be 13/09/2007. I have downloaded the drivers, installed them and then I checked the details of the driver in the Device Manager list and to my surprise the details say that the drivers are since 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in archive of drivers and surprise... the drivers really are the 'old' of 2006. So my question is this: you have the display drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D

    Best regards, Marian

    I Don t know if we. I think it would be took a long while to ask every single user: Hey, you have a few drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Some of them... ;)

    No, I have a better idea. It s like to cook a meal. Ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the www.laptopvideo2go.com site and... your your your TAAA patience

    To get a good 'bio' meal shocked just follow this recipe:

    Reach
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    read before doing anything (YES, even before you continue to BREATHE) the FAQ section on this site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
    and then download the drivers. Do it, Yes...

    Then download drivercleaner by searching on www.google.com and THEN read their manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue to breathe..)
    After reading the manual you will be something like:

    1. program start, do something, restart the machine
    2. start in safe mode, from this program, deleting... yadayadayada
    3. install the new driver
    3. reading of Bioshock
    4...
    5. No... 6 thank. me and give me your first born... ;)

    So by cutting about 40% of my humorous things and following the constructive technical instructions from me, you will be able to play bioshock.

  • Satellite A100 - wireless/network not working not

    Hi all I'm new here and even though I think I know a little about PC I seem to forget that I have learned.

    I have a lappy Satellite A100, which was connected to a home network wireless and worked very well. After travel further using another wireless USB device, I would return home put on wireless and connection obtained immediately.

    On a recent trip to Bali, I discovered that there are free hot spots wireless everywhere, however I had problems with the connection on trying to connect and could hang, past my expertise so went to a guy who has tinkered with Lappy I wss then you connect wherever I went, great, until the return to the House.

    Put on wireless and cannot connect, I tried everything and had to resort to a cable connection.

    I noticed when you use Toshiba cordless tool it is to see the connection to the router, but stops to Lappy with!

    It has been considered a clean install, but this seems drastic.

    * Help please *.

    Using XP or Vista?

    Try this:

    (1) what a reception/interference problem? Try moving the laptop or a Wifi access Point

    (2) download and install the latest wireless drivers from the Web from Toshiba site

    (3) try to disable the Windows Firewall or your 3rd party firewall

    (4) use static IP addresses, instead of using the DHCP (dynamic IP address)

    (5) update the Firmware of your Wifi access Point. (download from the manufacturer's website)

  • Satellite A100-011 - Bluetooth not working after installing Windows 7

    Hi, I have a Satellite A100 - 011 (PSAARE) and I tried to install windows 7 on it.

    I used the installer of the software of toshiba for windows 7, and in Device Manager, all of the devices seem to be properly installed. (There is a disabled person, or an unknown device). However, I can't have my bluetooth appears or use it. I tried to install the 3.00 Vista bluetooth stack, but it didn't work. Why isn't my bluetooth device and function appear anywhere in windows 7? Someone at - it had a similar problem?

    Let me add that the WiFi is working normally.

    Hi everyone, I wonder if you could help me please.

    I have a laptop Satellite A100-207 with Windows XP Im trying to send a few things from my nokia 7373 to my computer and some stuff from my computer to my phone, but it won't work.

    I have the bluetooth Wizard thing on my computer, but it keeps telling me that it cannot find not all devices.
    My bluetooth is on and shown at all, so I don't know what im doing wrong.

    Do I have to download stuff?
    This computer no bluetooth in there?

    IM so confused so if you have ideas, please let me know.
    Ive tried to fix this for two days now and im starting to lose my patience.

    > This computer no Bluetooth in there?
    Your assumption is correct.

    This laptop does not support the BT module and so you cannot use it ;)
    If you can't find any BT label at the bottom of the unit and then the BT module has not been installed.

  • Satellite A100-003: Questions on keyboard

    Two questions:

    1. What is the product of my keyboard type and computers laptop Toshiba have the same?

    2. can I have my extra keyboard buttons in a Linux system? (Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon)

    (1) the satellite A100 was equipped with a keyboard that supports 86 keys; 2 Windows keys and 1 shortcut key.
    Seems that the A100 series was equipped with this keyboard

    (2) I assume you mean the keys FN and Toshiba control buttons.
    Well, if you want to use these buttons, you will need a compatible driver from Toshiba.
    The fact is that Toshiba doesn't support Linux and doesn't provide drivers for Linux distribution. This is why you will not be able to use these keys running Linux.

  • After having cleaned my Satellite A100 display no longer works

    I opened my Satellite A100 to make sure it is clean. After opening it, I decided to close this back. After I put all the screws, and I turn on the laptop, there is no display on the screen but the mother/processor board works very well.

    Also, I reopened the laptop and checked the material and saw that near the port where you can connect a monitor, the white piece of hardware are separated, if I can connect these two back, I think I can make it work.

    Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    Looks like you have accidentally disconnected (removed) the FL inverter cable or video cable that connects the screen LCD with the jury.

    Usually it of not recommended and not recommended to disassemble the laptop if you have no experience. During this process other parts can be damaged and therefore jobs must be performed by a technician for laptop.
    I see that you have already opened the laptop and the warranty is not valid.

    It of always difficult to explain this procedure and so I goggled a bit and found this page useful:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-A105/remove-replace-LCD-screen-1.htm

    The laptop described on the page is a Sat A105 but very similar to A100
    Good luck and be careful.
