Re: Satellite U300 hibernates when the battery is very low

Hello

I bought my satellite U300 141 two weeks ago.
The computer is not put into hibernation when the battery is very low.

I checked the settings of vista, default 2% of the battery capacity, the laptop must Hibernate. But mine is not.
But I noticed that the battery level does not fall below 5%. I tried to change the setting of vista from 2% to 5%, but it has no effect.

Telephone toshiba support told me to update the package of the value 'stretched out' or something like that, but it has no impact too.
the problem is still there.

Anyone have an answer?
I also tried to update the BIOS, but during the upgrade process, the software told me that I can't because I'm not the administrator of the computer, I am sure I am.

so, if someone can help me please...

Please check first if hibernation was enabled in Vista power options.
Then you can assign to hibernation level up to 10%

Maybe then your laptop will be able to enter hibernation mode

  • Satellite U300 turns off when the battery has been removed

    Hello

    I'm on the laptop with the battery in place, and the power supply plugged in.
    That's when I take off the battery (always plugged power) who, after 5 seconds the laptop powers off.

    It's not happened before and now it happens ALL the time every time I have to remove the battery.
    I noticed that when the battery is removed, the battery light is always on – if for some reason any cell phone still thinks the battery is connected.

    For me, it looks like an electronic power supply problem.

    But it s just my personal opinion

    I think that the laptop should be checked by an authorized technician.

    Contact the ASP in your country and ask for verification

  • Re: Satellite Pro L670 - can I turn off the sound when the battery is empty?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L670.

    Even when the sound in Windows is turned off the laptop do a annoying sound.

    Thank you!

    Maybe it sounds silly, but I put t understand why that should be disabled. When the battery reaches the critical battery level you will be informed about this and portable must be connected to the power running or you have to save your work and turn it off.

    Do you really want to work until the battery is completely discharged?

    Anyway, AFAIK this notification level BIOS cannot be disabled.
    Let's see if someone else is better informed than me.

  • L50 - B satellite will not start when the battery is completely discharged

    Hello

    My Toshiba L50 - B won't start when the battery is fully drained but connected to the power outlet.
    I try to work most of the time on the battery to keep the battery in good shape, but when I forgot to turn off the battery drains and the system will not start when I plug in the adapter.

    The battery charge indicator is orange light as it should. Only when the battery is fully charged to 100%, it will run at startup and function normally after that. I tried to turn on the laptop several times during the charge cycle, but only when the charge indicator changes from yellow to white it starts. Tested for 2 bodies.

    My old Toshiba always immediately turned on when I plugged the adapter even when the battery has been completely drained. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Thanks for responding... I hope well :-)

    Toshiba L50 - B
    Windows 8.1
    Any standard/original setting since I only acquired this laptop a month ago.

    The laptop should light up if the power adapter is plugged in and power the laptop corectly any if the battery is empty or during charge.

    Please check the version of the BIOS that is available on your mobile phone and compare with the BIOS available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver
    Maybe you need to update the BIOS, but to be honest, the history seems really odd to me and I m afraid that there could be some power supply electronic problem

    So in the worst case, the laptop must be checked by authorized service provider.

  • Satellite X 200-20 years do not go into hibernation mode when the battery is 2%

    Hi all

    I just received my X 200 brand-new and very shiney and went through the normal procedures of change in VISTA power management settings, but I can't seem to enter the State of hibernation automatically. I have it configured such as a battery alarm critical (to 2%), the laptop should automatically enter Hibernation State save my data and downtime.

    Unfortunately, this does not happen and he died right after that the battery level has dropped below the 2% limit. On re - boot (with power supply) VITSA tells me it has not been closed correctly. You don't say! :-)

    I have configured laptops before using XP and have not had any problems. I know that VISTA it has many more options to set up and wonder if I'm missing something. I checked the help files for the VISTA and I seem to do the right thing.

    I really would prefer to use Hibernate instead of sleep, but simply can't get to do on a critical battery level.

    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Hmm normally, it should be possible to set Vista power options to hibernate if the battery reaches a critical level.
    I think you should try to reconfigure the settings.

    Check the hibernation of different battery level. For example, you can set the level of hibernation at 10%. Please don t forget to apply settings ;)

    By the way; I recommend to check the BIOS settings too.

  • When the battery drops below 50% the Satellite P200 turns off

    Do I have to get a new battery or what?

    Hello

    I guess you have preinstalled Vista.
    Have you checked your vista power management configuration?

    There you can assign some settings that would control the laptop turned off depending on the State of the battery.

    I think you need to set it to a lower level for example 5%

    This gets really annoying, that I keep losing jobs! Before it used to give me a warning and then Hibernate. Now there is no warning and it turns off without saving anything.

    Help!

    The laptop is a year old.

    I already ran the diagonsitic battery and it said the battery was good.

    OK, I think I finally figured it by changing power options, and I think that the way you reset the battery also helped.

    Here are the parameters:

    reserve battery level (this is when the popup will appear).

    10%

    low battery (this is when the low battery action will be performed).

    8%

    critical battery level (my computer would die at this point.)

    7%

    low battery action: sleep, sleep (this customize to your liking).

    battery low notification: on (hold on).

    critical battery action: sleep, sleep (my computer died already in criticism.)

  • Satellite A300 stops when the power adapter cable

    Hi people

    When I connect the power cable for my toshiba satellite a300, it stops immediately. I can use it on battery normally without any problems.
    When I boot in safe mode, it works fine without any problems with the AC adapter plugged into the laptop.
    Operating system is Windows Vista
    What is the reason? What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you

    Can you use it for laptop with AC power only when the battery is removed?
    If so, boot up your laptop and when the operating system is loaded to put battery inside, wait a few minutes and disconnect the power supply.
    Plug it in again and let us know if the same thing will happen again.

  • Use of AC when the battery is at 100%? (S7-391)

    Hello world!

    I have been affected by the worst support from Acer, I have no problem with the ultrabook himself (Acer Aspire S7-391) but I have some doubts about pilots and other things, that they have avoided answering many ways. So, here's the thing:

    This ultrabook has all drivers that could be use the AC power when the battery charge reaches 100% to avoid tampering with the battery?

    The thing is that while I have 100% of the battery and the ultrabook is connected to the power adapter, it always seems to be draining the battery power and recharging it back to being 100% all the time.

    When I ask about the drivers, who might or might not be installed, I just need to find a way to access this functionality if possible, and if I can't, I need to know as soon as POSSIBLE so that I can start unplug the laptop right after that the battery has reached 100%.

    Thanks in advance.

    As you said with Connector 2 power pins can also disconnect the battery charge. It can disconnect the power supply from the battery charging circuit when the battery reaches a particular % with the laptop running load in power cables. I do not think that your computers support portable setting the level of charge of battery to a % custom. Your laptop must have a particular hardware and BIOS that supports. In some laptops, the BIOS has the ability to define a particular % of battery charge. I read somewhere that windows 8 do not support this feature, old version of windows (Vista) support this feature.

    Some write up I found online to help you.

    Memory effect

    First of all, it is necessary to unfold a myth that persists in the minds of many people.

    The effect of stack memory.

    In the basis of lithium batteries, it is in fact a myth, it applies only to the old nickel-based batteries. Therefore fully discharge and recharge the battery are completely useless and even harmful as discussed below.

    The modern lithium battery can be charged independently of its current percentage, because he has absolutely no negative effect in his performances.

    Should I remove the battery when the a/c is connected?

    Many users of portable computers have this question and we will answer it right now:

    The answer is: YES and NO, it depends on the situation.

    Have a fully charged battery and the laptop is connected is not harmful, because as soon as the load level of 100% of the battery stops receiving the energy load and this energy is shorted directly on the power of the laptop system.

    However, there is a downside to keep the battery in the holder when the laptop is plugged in, but only if he currently suffers from excessive warming caused by the hardware of the laptop.

    So:

    -In normal use, if the laptop does not get too hot (CPU and hard drive around 40 ° c to 50 ° c) the battery must remain into the Jack of the laptop;

    -Intensive use, which leads to a large amount of heat produced (i.e. games, temperatures over 60 ° c) the battery should be removed the socket in order to avoid unwanted heating.

    The heat between the fact that he has 100% load, is the great enemy of the lithium battery and not the plug, as many might think so.

    Battery discharging

    Full battery discharges (until the computer laptop power shutdown, 0%) should be avoided, because he insists a lot on the battery and may even damage it. It is recommended to perform partial discharge to levels of capacity of 20 ~ 30% and frequent accusations, instead of performing a complete discharge followed for a full charge.

    Laptop PC battery contain a gauge of capacity that allows us to know the exact amount of stored energy. However, due to the charge/discharge cycles, this sensor tends to be inaccurate overtime.

    Some laptops include in their BIOS, tools to recalibrate the battery meter, which is nothing else than a full discharge followed by a charge complete.

    So to calibrate the gauge, it is desirable, in all cycles 30 discharge, a full uninterrupted discharge, followed by a too, non-stop, full charge.

    An inaccurate gauge may have to the fact that the capacity of the battery are values are false. The battery can report that he still has 10% of capacity, when in fact it has a much lower value, and this causes the computer to the unexpected shutdown.

    Cycles of discharge (or charge) are to use this charge battery (100%), but not necessarily all at once.

    For example, you can use the laptop for a few minutes in a day, using half of its e ability then it load completely. If you did the same thing the next day, it can be considered a discharge cycle, not two, so it may take several days before finishing a complete discharge cycle.

  • Fuze 4 GB warning disconnect and reconnect to Windows 7 pc... when the battery is low.

    So I just got a rocket and I love it.  Done a good deal about it.  Windows 7 picked it up and transfer of music is not a problem when the unit is fully charged.

    What IS a problem, is that when the battery is low and I have to plug the "rocket" on my PC to load... it keeps connection / disconnection.  The program of control of rocket guard Center popping up and go, arise and disappear... frustrating.  I tried the DPW and MCP modes (actually in DMC mode on the control panel is not everything and it does not recognize that the device is connected).  I've tried different USB ports.  No hub at issue here.

    Here's the kicker... If I load the "rocket" first (plug into a USB Kindle charger), once it has loaded it connects very well.

    Ran the update of the firmware and I'm on the latest firmware it was available, 1.02.31.

    I would like to know how to solve this problem, because I don't always have the small USB Kindle charger with me, and that would well be load from a PC... which is what the original, right intention was?

    Except that I like it and really dig the FM radio tuner.  It is very bad!

    Hosers, all.

    Usb hub 4 ports powered solved my problem.  'duh, I think yer cable is bad' I DO NOT.  Apparently, the "rocket" sucks just too much power.

    So I solved my problem with a $ 5 usb hub.  Yippee.
