• 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.

  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.

• 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 A100-493 - short battery life

  Hei,
  I installed windows 7 on my Toshiba ' Satellite A100-493. After the installation of the battery life drops to 20 min. What can I do?

  And I read in the support that toshiba has a battery for this model Exchange program, it is now possible to change the battery?

  Welcome them
  Kalle

  Hey Buddy,

  Where did you read about this procedure to Exchange battery?

  In my opinion, the dough is near end of life because Satellite A100 is old laptop model and if you didn t exchange the battery yet it seems to be bad now.

  Usually, a battery can be recharged 500 - 1000 times and after that, need to replace the battery because it s a part not reusable.

• Satellite A100-532: the microphone volume is extremely low

  I just bought Satellite A100-532 and I have a problem with the audio input. I can't use the microphone to chat with my friend on msn or even record my voice on the hard drive because the volume is extremely low.

  I tried to turn the volume on the desktop and on the RealTek HD audio Manager, but nothing helped. Microphone works perfectly fine, as I hear myself on the speakers.

  Normally, with my old laptop (M30 series) I could use sound recorder to record the music that I play using Winamp or WinMediaPlayer, but for this new laptop it detects all the sounds at all... just silence.

  Please notify.

  Hello

  You should also check the volume controls in the "Audio & Sound devices" in the Panel.
  In the 'Volume' tab it please go to "Advanced".
  Then a "Volume control" should appear.
  Check if all controls are set at a high level.
  In addition, enter the 'options' and 'properties' and activate all volume controls.
  Also change to "recording" and activate here also all the controls.
  Additional you must check if the "check" is set to high.

  Use the 'Advanced' mic option and play with thrust mic settings.
  I'm sure that you will find the best settings for your mic record

• 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?

• Satellite A660 - recharge the battery

  I'm just after the purchase of a Toshiba Satellite A660-1FM i7-740QM. I brought it home and plugged and then lit it. It turned out perfectly, but it doesn't seem to work on the farm.

  Costs associated with 0% and it is fair to say that the battery is charging. He has served for the last hour and so far nothing.

  If I plug out then he dies immediately.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off, indicating that the battery is fully discharged.
  Remove the battery.
  Using a soft cloth, wipe the battery packs connectors and AC adapters.
  Reinsert the battery.
  Plug the power adapter of the computer
  When the PC is turned off, allow the battery to charge until the battery status light
  Disconnect the power adapter.
  Remove the battery.
  Wait 30 seconds and reinsert the battery.
  Reconnect the AC adapter.
  Let the battery recharge until fully charged battery status.
  Now your battery must be charged completely. You should notice more autonomy.

  I posted it for a toshiba official support base.

• Satellite M50 - charges the battery only when stopped

  My Satellite M50 battery only when stopped. Does this mean that when I work I'm still running on batteries, which of course carry out completely after 1 to 2 hours. Then I shut down the computer and it started charging again (orange led), and after a few hours, I still have a 100% charged battery.

  Of course, this means that the computer is not available. Until a few weeks ago it used to have the same problem if I disconnected the power plug then reconnected it: the battery needed to dump then to 0%, even if the power is connected, but now the problem is constant.

  I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS, I could find and even completely reinstall windows from the recovery disks, but the problem is still there. The computer is a Toshiba Satellite M50 - 126 model PSM51E, the BIOS is Phoenix BIOS v2.10

  Is it possible that the BIOS is damaged of some sort? I tried to reinstall V2.10 but he told me that I have the same version and it will not be installed.

  Hi lartech,.

  You can recharge the battery if you get into the BIOS and made the battery charging icon light?
  Are you using the original Toshiba AC/DC adapter and battery?

  In the worst case, it s a malfunction of the motherboard, and you have done what you can do: BIOS update and to install Windows from the recovery disc. If this doesn't help s a bad hardware work.

• Satellite M70-147 - the battery does not recharge

  Hello

  I have a problem with my battery, it seems that it does not re - pay.
  First of all, please read the following:

  -When I start the laptop with AC power plugged the battery seems to be charged to 100% according to the Toshiba Power Saver.
  -When I remove the block AC power the display brightness goes down, because it goes to the battery, until here everything is normal. However, you do not see the percentage decreases, it remains 100% which means fully charged.
  -After a few minutes, an audible alarm indicating that the battery is almost dead. When the alarm sounds the Toshiba Power Saver then indicates that percentage is about 6%.
  -Then I reconnect the power supply and turn on the orange light showing that the battery is charging. The light orange he should be in charge, but the percentage remains at 6%. But after 10 minutes the percentage suddenly increases to 100% and the orange charging light turns off.
  -When I turn off the laptop and reboot immediately after that the alarm is triggered, the Toshiba Power Saver says also that the battery is fully charged or 100%. This seems a bit odd.

  So my question is: what is the problem with the battery? or is there something wrong with AC/DC adapter? could result in the fact that he does not seem to charge more. Or is there something wrong inside the laptop.

  If anyone has an idea please let me know, thanks for now.

  > After a few minutes, an audible alarm indicating that the battery is almost dead. When the alarm sounds the Toshiba Power Saver then indicates that percentage is about 6%.

But after 10 minutes the percentage suddenly increases to 100% and the orange charging light turns off.

  I think I know what's wrong.
  Your battery seems to be dead.
  My old laptop battery can be used for about 2 min even it s fully charged.
  It pays for 2 min, then it s completely empty.
  Is nothing unusual as the battery slowly loses the own performance and it s just a matter of time where he died.
  I don't need a new battery because I m using Notepad as compensation for my desktop PC and the laptop is always connected to the sector.

  But if you need to use the battery, then you will need to replace it with a new one.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200 - loses the battery, switch off the power

  I have a relatively old Satellite A200, yet almost all inside is new except the battery. The battery has a very short life, but that's because its old. Recently the computer started to suddenly lose the battery, so the charge light stays on, the battery light turns off and the battery icon said "plugged in, not charging." However, the computer still work on battery power. If I see it at the time, then by removing and replacing the charger repeatedly, I can start it load again, but if I am not it switches off without warning. Since the battery life is now less than a minute which often.

  I don't think that the problem is with the charger because it always shows the charger is plugged in, and when the computer is off the battery light is always on when it is plugged. I had a problem with the power connector, but if the motherboard was recently replaced so I don't think that's it either.

  If someone could help it would save me a lot of frustration, thank you.

  Hello

  At first, I must say that you should not be frustrated. Problems with consumer products are normal, and each of us has problems with laptops, televisions or other electronic product.

  Let's see what you can do about it.
  Your description is OK, but what I want to know is follow:
  When you remove the battery can work on your laptop with no problems (start work, cut)?

  I also think that the battery is too old and I presume it's troublemaker in the history. It is not easy to explain what behavior flashing if you have a defective hardware or old coin inside.

  Maybe, you need to buy the replacement of the battery and check the features for laptop and the battery, just to see if everything will be OK again. If you will be faced with the same problem again then we can discuss what may be the problem.
  In my opinion only a reason for this could be electronic power supply.

  What do you think?

• Satellite A500 - Remove the battery when connected to the network?

  Hello

  I bought a new Satellite 500 and I would use it as much as possible. I'm not sure the stage of development of this battery. Should I remove the battery when I use the laptop at all times with the net supply?
  Or this does not damage the battery longer years yet there is, or is the problem of the destruction of the battery because of the heat and being reloaded frequently persists?

  I'm sorry if I could post to redundantly, but it is difficult to search for information, since I'm not a native speaker.
  I encourage you just for a small tip for a related thread if available.

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  To be honest, I often work with connected AC/DC adapter, but I never removed my battery. Sometimes I decide to work in another room and then I just unplug the AC adapter and that s all the! :)
