• Tecra M3: Question about the length of battery life

  I used to have a M2 which had a battery life of approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes. Last January, I had a M3 and was surprised it was only 1:30 running just Word and a memory low music program. Closing of the screen and running the program of music made him until 1:45. I thought it was because he had a faster processor, etc., but two of my friends also had Toshibas and they thought it was a battery problem.
  So what is the battery life of the 1.83 GHZ M3 supposed to be?

  Hello

  According to the description of the unit, the battery should run about 3 hours.
  But the battery working time depends on many different things, and this isn't a precise value. CA? s very important how you use Notepad, what programs are running, how old is the battery, how devices run is together, etca? ¦
  In this case generally Ca? s not easy to tell if the battery has a fault or not.

• Reduced in the coming W540 battery life?

  First the good news - it's going to be a W540

  http://shop.Lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ThinkPad/w-series/w540/

  Strangely the W540 shows a maximum battery life of 6 hours down from the 7.4 of the W530?

  540: "battery lifeup to 6 hours with the battery 6 cells standard."

  530: "battery lifeup to 7.4 hours with battery 6 cells removable.

• Partition of hibernation of the Portege Z930-108

  Hello

  I just bought the Z930-108 and I found on the SDS (128GB) a partition called hibernation, but the normal system disk, there is also a hiberfile.sys.

  (1) is it the same function for both?
  (2) is the hibernation partition does not work?
  (3) can the hibernation partition be incorparated in the system partition to have more available space?
  (4) the removal of the hibernation partition would invalidate the recovery process using the SSD partition?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  AFAIK the hibernation partition is used by the Windows system, and he needs this partition to wake the laptop much faster than usual hibernation mode
  I thought hiberfil.sys had taken the place of suspension on disc, but it seems that this hibernation partition is much more powerful. I wouldn't delete this partition if you want the Hibernate the laptop.

• Portege R500-126 battery life

  I bought the Portege R500-126 @2 nine weeks ago and with SDS and no DVD/CD, I was expecting, as announced, to * 8 hours * autonomy

  To test, I fully charged the battery that was supplied with the machine, selected power plan 'Power Saver', out the charger cable and curled only 3 hours later, with no use of computer laptop whatoever, the battery is almost discharged

  On the Toshiba sales site, I noticed they sell one * Li - Ion 6 CELLS 5800 MAH * battery for £95 + VAT, is the same battery that comes with R500-126 and is anyone else having this problem?

  Hello

  I found this website product Toshiba Portégé R500-126:
  http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/productPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=145824

  But unfortunately, there is nothing on the duration of battery life.
  There is only this;
  Maximum life: currently no Windows Vista battery reference available official result

  Still is it that Vista needs more energy as another Vista OS (i.e. XP) eats the laptop and my knowledge resources, he needs two times more energy than XP.
  In addition the run time depends on hardware configuration. Stronger systems of waste more energy as devices with a lower yield.

  However, to you in question;
  AFAIK the R500 was equipped with the PA3612U-1BAS/BRS 6cell battery pack.

• Satellite S50-B-12Z: battery life cycle Option does not appear in the eco utility

  Hello everyone.

  I am facing a strange problem. The eco utility allows to work ok with win 10 on my S50-B-12Z satellite and I used the eco charging battery I've run mainly my laptop plugged in.

  At some point, I need to do a system restore. I have re-installed the 10 victory and also the latest version of the eco utility downloaded from the Toshiba site. The problem is that when I open the utility eco, the choice of "battery life cycle", where you can select the eco reload or not, seems no more! So I find myself with the battery to 80% connected but does not support.

  I already tried to uninstall and reinstall the utility or install an earlier version of it.

  Is there something I could do in order the choice of "battery life cycle" to reappear or to cancel the State of charge of eco and leave my battery to charge again 100%?

  Thank you

  I have the same problem with my P50 - A satellite. Battery-life cycle does not appear in the new eco Win 10 utility installed. Version is: 3.0.0.0006. Older versions do not work, I tried also.

  More than 80% of maximum load, not 100% .

  I hope someone has a suggestion. To 80% battery life is too short

• The battery life of L20 - 155

  yesterday, I bought this laptop. I loaded the battery during the first night. Now I can use it to a maximum of 50-60 min (even when WiFi is off). The manual says 1.5 hours.
  I have something wrong the first time that I have loaded?

  Hello

  Well, that's one about of specification of the duration of battery life.
  The life expectancy of the batteries depends on the use of the laptop.
  For example: to how often and how long you use the HDD, optical drive and floppy disk, how you use optical devices such as a Pc card, where you store your programs and data.
  Besides closing the screen when you are not using the keyboard saves energy. Also activate standby mode saves battery power if you frequently turn the computer market.

  Please also see the manual of the user which is preinstalled on your laptop. You will find lots of useful information on the use of the battery.

  Good bye

• Experiences over seven years with the battery life in laptop computers Tecra

  Seven years ago, I bought a Tecra 780DVD, five years ago a Tecra 8100 and two years ago a Tecra S1. They re all still in regular use and I ve used now six packs of lithium ion batteries. My experience suggests that these four guidelines are worth observing:

  1. it is preferable to the hibernation and remove the battery if the laptop will be inactive for more than 2 or 3 days.
  2 operating time vary a lot between the samples of battery even with the same operating conditions.
  3 leave the charger plugged in with the full light on doesn't seem to hurt (despite some of the recommendations).
  4. better is not the first time, that it is unable to charge the battery of junk. The trick described below may reset the battery and get more useful life out of it.

  Tecras see the end of battery life by battery light flashes orange or stay off when you try to reload. Last week when I returned from vacation what happened the 780 (now the WiFi print server) and I felt like déjà vu because all 4 batteries (three on the 780) and the other on the 8100 that I ve had previously fail expired the same way they failed to charge after 7 to 14 days of hibernation with the battery left in. In my view, that it can hardly be a coincidence.

  I still had another 780 old farm and an old battery for 8100 that both failed about two years ago I did some tests. The batteries two 780 showed 10-11 volts on a voltmeter, but when I put them in the laptop and plugged in the charger, the led load always flashed. However, when I plugged the laptop battery already started the grid only, the hanging lamp orange and after an hour or two went green.

  I think this shock treatment can have done in battery electronics forget they were supposed to be dead. Anyway, I did with all three batteries and then ran to see how long d last. The results were:

  (1) the 780 battery failed last week (after 36 months used) can now run the laptop for an hour.
  (2) the 8100 battery (with the active service of 16 months, but 'believed dead' for two years) will now run for 10 minutes or more.
  (3) the 780 battery believed dead for two years (after 19 months used) appears to load but t does not work the laptop. Half of the battery ended up hot and half cold, so now I guess that it s really dead.

  Hoping others will compare notes, I've summarized below how long my battery packs lasted before they refused to pay more.

  Tecra780DVD:
  Original battery: 30 months (discarded too soon. Might have gotten more if I had tried to trick reset).
  First replacement: 19 months (stored for two years, after which reset didn't work).
  Second alternative: 36 months (after reset now works for an hour).

  Tecra 8100:
  Original battery: 16 months (stored for 2 years. After reset now lasts 10 minutes).
  First replacement: 41 months and always well run.

  Tecra S1:
  Original battery: 29 months and always well run.

  All are genuine Toshiba and operating conditions are quite similar for all. Laptops tend to run 4-8 hours per day with the charger plugged and maybe half an hour on battery only. Sometimes we forget and the charger remains connected all night.

  I m now wish I d tried the trick of reset on all batteries as soon as they failed, but at least I seem to have rescued two batteries. Even a moment of execution as short as 10 min is useful on a laptop that s especially power sector. It protects against power failure and you can keep your battery in the fridge until you need it for a trip.

• Satellite A215-S4757 - battery life and the problem of cooling fan

  Hello everyone,

  I would like to ask a few questions abou my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

  I have my laptop since last August and I think that it shouldn't be a dust problem, because it is too 'young' for this and I do not live in an apartment "dusty"...

  In any case, I think that the problem of "almost allways running fan" appeared about 2 months after I bought the laptop. I installed 'Speedfan' and I see 'HD0' temperature increases of 30deg remarks immediately after I have start the laptop, on 39deg after 1 hour.

  But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?

  Is the normal temperature of 45-50deg? I use my laptop for browsing the Internet, emails, etc., no complex 3d games!

  The second thing is that the battery life is (and has been since the beginning) not spectacular: it lasts max. 1.5 hours with wireless use on, but normal laptop (don't play not DVDs or something like that). Is this normal? If so, is it because of the amd processor turion 64 x 2?

  Please help me with some tips / advice.

  P.S. I bought my Toshiba as I was travelling to the US (NY).

  Thank you much in advance.

  > I would like to ask a few questions about my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

  I m an owner of a Satellite A210. It s similar to the A215. The A210 is a European model and the A215 belongs to the series of cell phones in the United States.
  I noticed the same thing on my A210, and I think that's a normal s behavior.

  > But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?
  The 40-60deg CPU temperature is not unusual.
  The temperature could affect up to 70-80degrees by practicing a game. So Don t worry about the temperature.
  Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. Fan table is stored in the BIOS and it contains information about the limits of temperature and the use of cooling.
  If a certain level of temperature has been reached the cooling module begins to spin with a certain speed.

  Now, I would like to say a few words on the life of portable batteries
  Generally the duration of battery life depends on the use of portable computers.
  While playing games or watching movies the battery a lot faster.

  In any case, your laptop is equipped with high performance devices and AFAIK Vista was preinstalled on this series. The two factors (high performance CPU and GPU devices) + Vista OS need a lot of battery power. Vista needs of more resources for laptop like Win XP, and so portable computers equipped with Vista operating system run more short on battery such as laptops pre-installed with Win XP.

  Finally and above all he must know that there are different models more strong the battery with high * value of my would help run the notebook longer using the power of the battery.

  Hope I could clarify this issue.

• Satellie A100-999: what is the battery life expectancy

  Just a quick question. I have an A100-999, the cheapest of three laptops I have, but for me the best. I wasjust wondering where I could find out average battery life of long life, I just bought.

  Hello

  Generally all battery information must be indicated in the manual of the user which is preinstalled on your laptop.
  It of also very important to know, that the battery life depends on the use of the laptop.
  Using heavy performance and additional features like ODD will decrease the battery working time.
  So in these cases, it s is not easy to say the exactly the time of battery life.
  The laptop came with the standard 4000mAh battery. If you want to use the laptop for a long time, you can buy a stronger battery.

• Portege Z930 - network WLan problems

  Z930 Windows 7 is 3 years old.
  I'm having problems connecting to the home network and I do not understand the clues to work towards a solution.

  Other laptops can connect to the wired network and wireless, but cant Z930, or down and will not show the home network.

  Appear networks nearby.

  Z930 can connect to the point of mobile internet access on phones, but that does not provide access to servers and network.

  Disable the Firewall Norton 360 and the protection doesn't seem to help.

  At a time and only once, I saw the message invalid network address.

  Logical, said the material is OK because can connect to the wifi phone.

  I don't know where to begin try andworkout why z930 can't seen to connect to the home network.

  > I'm having problems connecting to the home network and I do not understand the clues to work towards a solution.
  I want to be sure I understood your problem:

  You ve set up the wireless network at home (I assume you are using the WLan router, etc.) but you are not able to connect the Portege Z930 to your wireless home network.
  Is this correct?

  Since you are able to connect this notebook to internet hotspots (public WLan) I guess the wireless network for laptop s and WLan card driver are installed and are working correctly.

  Are you able to connect the laptop to the internet using LAN?

  In case this also not possible, you must reset your router and should go through the router options unique to ensure that each option has been set correctly.

  In addition I recommend you renew the IP address by typing this command using the console (to start the console type CMD in RUN)
  In the Console (black DOS window), you must type: + IPCONFIG / RENEW.
  This would renew the ip address that is assigned automatically the provided by the router ip address pool.

  I hope you can help me

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I found the same information, but I put t think you can use 4 hours. My opinion is that you can use it two hours. I recommend to set the CPU at a lower level and also check other settings like the brightness of the screen. If you set all these lower-level settings, you can save useful energy and work for long periods.

• Portege Z930 - upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro

  I bought the upgrade to 7 to 8 during this promotional offer in early 2013, but so far I was expecting a better time perform the upgrade. I'm doing the upgrade having prepared a USB pen with the ISO, I downloaded in 2013.

  However, after 20 minutes of work, about 99% it is said that the upgrade has failed.

  I read somewhere that it is perhaps because of the recovery of my Portege partition.

  Someone have faced similar problems?
  Please consider that I am performing an upgrade instead of a clean install.

  Thank you

  da

  PS and probably OT: anyone know if it is possible to obtain ISO 8.1 with the 8 with an activation code?

  As I'm not mistaken the Portege Z930 was sold with a preinstalled Windows 7 but Windows 8 extra DVDs should be part of the package.

  You do not have this DVD in Windows 8 support?

  In any case, I found a useful page that provides different information you how to put the system to Windows 8.
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/Gen...dows8-message/

  Please click the link: step by step Instructions to upgrade to Windows 8

  I recommend you to run education step by step and repeat system upgrade process.
