Re: Satellite A300 - battery after upgrading to Windows 7

Hi all

I have with me the notebook toshiba Satellite A300.
Bought the UNITED Arab Emirates. I just upgraded my pc to windows 7 and it seems to have affected my battery life, I guess.

Anyone has idea about hw long battery last, I mean hours.

Now, I can only use it for nearley 30 min... Some blog said of updateing the bios.

Is this the reason realley or is the problem of windows 7 with my battery, experts advise please.

Thank you, vb sbar

Hello

I don't know if the update of the BIOS would help, but if the new BIOS is available for you notebook series, then it s a m updated value.

But you should also check the Win 7 power management settings.
Please check this Toshiba HowTo:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=41

It s on vista but Vista power management is very similar to Windows 7.

Here you must change the battery more user-friendly options.
Check it!

  • Satellite L300D BSOD after upgrade to Windows 7

    I got this laptop (Satellite L300D) for a little more than a year with windows vista (32-bit) running and there were no problems. However, I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 (x 64) and became the problems since the first reboot.

    On the first reboot after installing windows 7, the computer off just after the "Starting Windows" screen Turn on again took me to the repair of the system where he performed a system restore and I was able to start successfully even once. I thought that the problem had something to do with the automatic updates, so I disabled the and tried to restart to see if the problem has been corrected. This time, after the "Starting Windows" screen I got a BSOD of unrecoverable system error. After several attempts to reboot and multiple attempts to repair system (which usually says she didn't) it started correctly again.

    This problem has been going for about 3 weeks now and it is quite irritating. The results of the system of compensation for claims that a "Boot critical file is corrupt", but it starts eventually after several attempts to start. He also has a habit of turning at random during the race (it happens about once or twice a day). So from now on, whenever I chaque fois que je tente tries to start my computer it shuts down after the start screen or give the BSOD and restarts and the only way to make it work seems to be to keep trying to start and hope for a successful boot of the system upward (this happens finally after a few failed attempts).

    I did some research on this and came to [this | 1251 http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?modelFilter=L300D-ST3501&rpn=PSLC8U&category=&selCategory=3&moid=222 & os = & ct = DL & selFamily = 1073768663] page. I think that's exactly what my problem is (need to update the BIOS), but if I understand correctly installing windows to do this only for 2000/xp/vista and I am unable to use the second option to boot from the disc as I get the BSOD before he gets to that point. I should try the windows install option although I am running windows 7 or is there another way to update the BIOS? Or I'm off completely and the problem is with something else?

    I wasn't sure what information I would like to add to this post so if need more information please let me know.

    Thanks in advance

    Edit: Oops, just realized the page I linked is not link to exactly what I had opened. I do not speak of 'critical BIOS updates for Windows 7 64-bit' under 'support form '.

    Hello

    First of all, it would be interesting to know what code BSOD, you get exactly. Can you post this information useful? Normally, on the Microsoft Knowledge Base, you can find additional information about most of the BSOD codes and so you can start to solve this problem.

    BSODS are often associated with drivers or RAM/HDD. The latter, you can check with special diagnostic tools, Memtest86 for RAM and Drive Fitness Test for the HARD drive. These two tools are free and you can find it using Google. You can download an iso image of them to create a bootable media where you can start the test.

    Regarding your update to the BIOS: I put t know what L300D you have exactly, but according to the Toshiba site it shows an update of the BIOS also for Windows 7 64-bit. You can try to install it.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - after upgrade to Windows 7, the FN keys do not work

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE and have just upgraded to Windows 7. Since the upgrade I can no longer use the function key and the top and down arrows to control the volume. Keys F6 F7 & still control the brightness so I don't know the function key still works.

    Anyone know if it is a driver problem or nobody knows how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Drew.

    Hello

    You need to install the package of value added for Satellite Pro L40. This package contains all the necessary drivers for the FN keys. Then please install or update VAP if you have already installed an earlier version.

  • Satellite C660 - battery after upgrading to Win8 problems

    Hello world

    I upgraded my computer laptop windows 8 but now I have to keep the charger plugged in any time to use the laptop. The battery can be charged and will stop completely in half an hour. I think it's due to a lot of background with windows process 8 can someone there help me walk the battery disappear so quickly. I can't downgrade to windows 7 that I deleted the roll back data.

    Thanks in advance

    Kind regards

    Mark

    I put t believe that the battery discharges more quickly because of some processes that run in the background. This question might be possible on tablets or smartphones, but this isn't a case for the use of the laptop.
    You can try to change the power management settings Windows 8 in order to save the battery.

    But in my opinion, your battery is almost the end of life.
    I'm don't know how old is the battery, but in my case, the battery is a little older and he holds just load for 5 min.
    So, I think that replacing the battery would resolve the issue

' I was able to restart Windows 7 in repair mode, but I can not find which sw component prevents Windows 7 start and work in normal mode. Used the incorrect installation option, process automated instead of the custom one?

    What should I do, restore Vista from recovery of HARD drive and re-install Windows 7, this time using the perconnalised mode?

    Hey

    To be honest, I also don t know what software driver is causing this gel, but you can start Notepad in safe mode?

    In addition it of not possible to use HARD drive recovery anymore because you have installed another OS. In this case, you have the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore Windows Vista.

  • HP Touchsmart 23-d055: do I need a new recovery disk after upgrade to Windows 10?

    I upgraded my 2 years, HP Touchsmart in Windows 8 for Windows 8.1 for Windows 10. It took me 6 hours to run all of these updates.

    Now, HP Support Assistant keeps reminding me to create an image of system recovery. But when I run the recovery media creation utility, it warns me that he goes back to the original operating system (Win8). Is it possible to create a recovery image system for my machine on Windows 10?

    I know that Windows 10 now has an automatic recovery partition. But I am concerned by the failure of the disk, which would make this unnecessary partition. Last year, when I've upgraded to win 8.1, I had an alteration of the disc that has occurred without known reason. I lost everything on the PC and to restore Win 8, and I've never touched the PC up to 10 Windows free update is out.

    I created a USB Win8 recovery disk when I got the machine. This is my only alternative? I suppose that if I ran the recovery media creation utility, it would recreate just the same.

    BTW, I know that HP has here a document, but it does on computers provided with Windows installed 10.

    Thank you for your help and experience.

    Since no one has replied with an answer to my question, I've finally worked it on my own. I learned that you cannot make a new recovery disk system after the upgrade to Windows 10, if you had already created one when you got your machine under Windows 8.x

    Context: after upgrade to Windows 10, the HP Support Assistant kept prompting me to create a system recovery disk.  I did one when I got the machine 2 years with Win8.  I didn't replace my original recovery disk, so I went out and got a new 16GB USB flash drive. When I inserted this new drive and attempted to create a recovery disk, the PC told me I couldn't do one, because you are allowed to make a recovery disc by PC.

    So it was kind of stupid that after completing the upgrade of Windows 10, HP Support Assistant tells people to do. It should just check itself and see if a disc has already been done. All this anguish for nothing!
