• Satellite M105-SP381: short battery life - 01:50 mins

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Satellite M105 and I think that Im not getting good battery life out of it. I have had the machine for 1 month and I can barely 01:50 mins on drums, with a minimum brightness and wifi, just surf the web and listen to mp3s. What is the performance expected for this type of machine?

  It has a 1.8 Core Duo, 1 GB RAM, 80 gb HD, ATI x 1300 14 "of clues? I use the watch system to "long term" Toshiba application. My battery was unaffected by the action of voluntary exchange of Toshiba.

  Thank you

  HI Juan,

  Different parts of the book will use you the power at higher or lower rates. Any component with a mechanical action (your hard drive, optical drive, floppy drive, etc.) use generally a little more power than the CPU, RAM etc.

  The effect is to drain the battery faster if the hard drive or optical drive is used. So, generally, is expected to get more autonomy if you use an application such as Word or Excel where there is minimum hard disk activity unless you're constantly saving or loading documents.

  In your case, playback of MP3 files will constantly have to load data from the drive hard (although cached to reduce the number of access) while you browsing the internet is constantly written pages in your Temporary Internet folder (as well as access to your anti-virus database). All this activity hard drive means that the hard drive is never allowed to turn down and therefore do not have to use the power of the battery.

  As long as you follow the usual recommendations to optimize your battery (let it fully discharge from time to time) I think that the time you get really is reasonable for the type of activity that you do.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A200 short battery life - it pays very quickly

  Today, I have restored my A200 Satellite to factory settings.
  It is the 4th time that I did in the last 2 years.

  Now my battery life is screwed.

  100% loaded with about 10 minutes to the end (image: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3548/100g.png)

  85% charged to 8 minutes (image: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/723/46880270.png)

  What is going on?

  I'm afraid that if I restore settings to "fix" the problem it only make it up worse and end being 2 minutes from the end to completely charged.

• New Satellite L850-142 - very short battery life!

  Hello world!

  Yesterday I bought my new laptop and put it to charge right away all night without using it.
  Today, when I am on, within 15-20 minutes, the battery life is down to 89%.

  My question is, is this normal autonomy?

  I already address energy conservation, brightness etc. so as not to lose the life of the battery.
  It is my first laptop, so can someone please advise me?

  Thank you!

  10% for 20 minutes, for me, is OK. I imagine that you will be able to use your laptop up to 2 hours of battery power. Of course, it depends on the parameters of energy and the way how do you use it.

  Don t worry everything and not simply continue to test your new piece of hardware.

• 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

• Satellite A100 - save the battery when the laptop in a longer retention

  Hi, I have a * Satellite A100 * about 4-5 years. There was no intensive use (it's hospitality do not work) and is in good shape.

  I go there for at least 6 months and will PLAN A - most likely need to put the computer in stock, that is to say. No one will be able to access. PLAN B - there is a very low probability that someone could "baby sit" it but it can't count on him.

  Can anyone suggest what is the best way to deal with the LiOn battery in the above two cases?

  Can I remove or leave in the laptop?

  Is there a way to stop the battery completely dead while in storage / is not not in use?

  Thanks... any advice appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  In my opinion it makes no difference if you put the battery 6 months or leave it in the computer. In both cases, the battery must be charged because it also loses power when it s turned.

  If nobody is using the computer you can remove the battery, otherwise and someone would use you can install the battery.

• Re: Satellite A100-811 main battery indicator is OFF

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite a100-811 and the problem is the following:
  When it is plugged in, the main indicator should be blue (full load) or orange (charge).
  Now it is off (no light at all).

  I unplugged DC and back is plugged and the fire was orange for a few seconds and then went off again. Battery is charged at 99%.

  What is a battery or a motherboard problem?
  The laptop is old. Should I be backing up my files?

  > Should I be backing up my files?

  You should always have a backup of your files in case something bad happens to your laptop or HARD drive.
  But the battery issue would not affect your files directly.

  However, try this:
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Now hold down the power button / stop along 30 sec.
  Then, plug the battery and plug in the AC adapter and check if the battery indicator would be IT.

  But I think that if the laptop is still running even if the AC adapter is not connected, then the battery should be ok

• Satellite A100-225 - charging battery problem

  Hi people,

  My Satellite A100-225 can't hold the charge when running. If I use processor heavy applications, the battery will drain in about half an hour and recharge only when the cover is closed (standby mode) or the laptop is turned off.

  When the exhausted battery and the laptop turns off, I have to remove the battery, press the on/off switch, replace the battery, then let it charge for a while before I can use it again.

  The laptop will power any if I remove the battery and the runoff of current alternative.

  I tried a spare battery, but exactly the same thing happens.
  I also updated the Bios with the latest version (6).
  Laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition.
  Laptop is out of warranty.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  See you soon
  Steve

  Looks like a hardware problem. I mean, if your battery runs out when the machine is connected to the pit of the wall adapter (this is what I did not understand), so something in the subsystem of your laptop power goes down.

  Have you ever sent the machine to a partner of service authorized or is the machine still under warranty?

• 5s short battery life iPhone, phone like new 6 months.

  I bought my iPhone about 6 months ago. I have problems with the battery life. I plug all night. Unplug in the morning and about 4 hours he spends 100% to 40%, even without me using the telephone. I thought to buy a new battery from Amazon and change myself. I found videos on YouTube showing how do, and it seems very easy to do. Someone out there chaned their own battery before? Was it easy to do? And your phone has worked for you once you have changed your battery yourself?

  Just thought I ask. I am one of these people if it's something I can do for my part, I do. Does anyone has an entry on the situation before I try this on my own?

  Hello

  The battery on the iPhone is not replaceable by the user. The battery - if that is the real problem - is covered by the limited warranty of one year of Apple.  If the iPhone is out of warranty, Apple also offers a service of the battery. The cost for this varies across countries (currently $79 in the United States, for example).

  However, as a first step, I suggest that you try to solve the problem of life battery. You can, for example, to consider measures such as:

  • Review Apple tips to maximize battery performance:
    • https://www.Apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/
  • Backup, restore your iPhone to factory settings then set up as new or restore:
    • Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod settings - Apple Support
  • Update the software to the latest version:
    • Update the software on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support iOS

  If the problem persists, I suggest you contact Apple technical support or make a Genius Bar reservation for assistance in identifying / confirming the issue and, if necessary, to set up your service from the available battery options, time and cost.

• NTLDR is missing after using the recovery disc - Satellite A100-493

  Hello

  I come from Germany and I have a Toshiba Satellite Notebook, which I bought new in 2006.

  After nearly three years, he started showing problems and slow, so I backed up my files and inserted the "Product recovery" CD that came with the laptop. I followed the Instructions and it began to unwind. After that about 1%, it displays a short Error Message, which I was not able to write down again and stops.

  When I restart the computer says ist «NTLDR is missing, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart» When I do that it shows me the same "NTLDR is missing" Message, no matter how many times I reboot the thing.

  I tried to redo the whole fotmatting, but it always comes out the same way. What di - I do?

  G Demolidor

  It's very strange. If the recovery disk is not damaged the only reason for interruption of the installation may be faulty HARD drive or some problem there.
  If possible, try to get Microsoft WXP CD facilities and try to install Windows XP Home edition.

  Please let us know if the installation completes without any problems.

• New Satellite A100 - charge the battery before turning on?

  Hello

  I'm new in the world of laptops and I will get an entry level Toshiba A100
  Today, however, I am worried as to the time, I first want to charge the battery for 8 or so hours before starting the machine for the first time?

  I ask because I heard that you can compromise the ability to charge using the battery when it is
  already low (the 1st time) and configuration of the laptop, is it true?

  Your help is very appreciated.

  See you soon

  Hello

  The fact is that the new laptops also come with new batteries and the batteries are empty. All laptop manufacturers offer portable computers with batteries.
  It s not unusual State.
  Of course, you can connect the AC adapter and start the laptop computer. While working on the laptop, the battery may charge.

• Satellite A100-543: the battery appears dead

  My battery died yesterday after I plugged it to my computer. In fact the computer turn off at this time. A burning smell has occurred and after, I tried to start the computer again and it works but the battery seems dead. When I'm on windows with the battery, it is written that it does not load, but I have my doubts because the computer recognizes that there is the battery.

  So I would like to know if this could be something between the battery and the motherboard that is dead or if I can use my warranty. The strange thing is that other people use the same plug that I used without problem, I think, so that the battery has a problem before.

  Thank you.

  Don t know exactly what's wrong, but it certainly looks like a hardware malfunction.
  The A100 is a new machine and the guarantee must be valid and must cover all the trouble with the material.

  Take my advice and don t spend a lot of time for the investigative measures which could be bad or not.
  Simply contact the ASP in your country and explain the problem guys

  I think everything should be done for free!

• laptop 455: short battery life

  My laptop HP 455 has a range of 45 minutes.

  A full load of 100%, my laptop stops a flat battery in just 45 minutes.

  (Interestingly, when I restart the laptop, it shows autonomy of 50 to 60%)

  Can I do to restore my life battery´s, or do I need to replace?

  According to me, there are a few dead battery cells that don't work, and this is why you are not able to charge more than 91%. You should let it like that or need to replace the battery itself

  Kind regards

• Short battery life of the Macbook Pro 13 "mid-2009

  My Macbook Pro battery does not seem able to last longer then an hour on a full charge. Initially, I set this up to the age and checked the battery status (ALT + click on the battery in the top bar icon), however it says normal. I have always looked after my Mac - full load battery and let it run down completely before recharging - so I don't know if it's just an age thing or another issue.

  In addition, I had a problem for a long period of overheating, even when I use Safari. Using an application that I can see that it reaches 90 degrees celsius, it is worse. If I have a problem with my fan which is itself an overheating of my Mac and drain the battery?

  I tried to use Apple Hardware Test (now D then it starts) but have had no chance to lift anything but the normal login screen.
