Satellite A100-649: battery no longer works

Hello

I bought a Toshiba Satellite A100-649 in June 2006.
Now, 3 months later, the battery no longer works.
Toshiba Powersaver says it's 94% of the power,
the LED shows that it is loading but it hangs just to 94%.

Well, I don't care if he could not load 100%, but this is
What makes me angry:

If I don't have my power adapter plugged in, it does not work
more. It does not start up or anything. Nothing works.
No LEDs + flashing, nothing.

Now what is that? I mean, this laptop is like 3 months
and the battery is already broken. A laptop without battery work
It's like a computer desktop-computer without a monitor or something.

So, maybe somebody has experiences like that or any ideas what I could do
(except the assistance of Toshiba or bring it back to the shop where)
I bought it, that's what I've done - nothing so far, nor in the store
(or Toshiba).

Welcome,

Codec

Hello

It seems that your battery has a malfunction.
Generally, the warranty covers the battery for about a year. So in your case all repairs and replacement will be free.
In your case, I recommend to contact Toshiba service partner in your country and explain the guys the situation.
I m 100% sure they will help you.

I don't know if service point will have the entire notebook or only the battery broken m.
But these details you could discuss with the technician.

Good luck

  • Satellite A100-811 - sound no longer work after reinstallation of the system

    I recently bought this type of laptop. After about 2 installations of windows from the recovery cd unit... I keep having the same problem:
    I encounter problems or difficulties with some audio applications... especially mp3 running for example in winamp (all versions of winamp). I also tried to reinstall the audio driver to install a newer version... the same problem: I have heard a few small glitches while listening to the song... I should also mention that all this happened independently of the CPU usage... my last solution in my head is to change my antivirus. I use a version of ZONE ALARM antivirus... someone heard something about this antivirus to give the same problems... Thanks for giving me a notice. Thank you

    Hello

    No, I don't think that the noise issue relates to all Anti Viurus applications.
    I read on an audio glitch similar problem on a Satellite P100.
    The BIOS update and an update driver sound has solved these problems

    I put t know if it will help you but you can check for this possibility
    A question: is the laptop uses a Realteck sound card chip?

    If Yes, visit the Web to Realtek website and install the latest driver from this site. Eventually, it helps.

    Hello!

    My problem is:

    I tried to turn on my computer using only the battery as a power source - result: dead

    I have a computer connected to the main power supply (battery installed) - result: computer is turn on, charging battery led shines, no battery information in the systray of the window.

    Thanks in advance for your answers!

    Hello

    It seems that your battery is defective. I suggest the first step: go to the dealer, tell him your problem and he ask if you can test with him another battery in your machine.
    If you are having the same problems with another battery that youre electronic load on the motherboard can be broken
    and you will have to send your unit for repair to an authorized partner that will solve your problem.

  • Using the Satellite A100 without battery

    My laptop Satellite A100, the battery is almost dead. Is it bad to use the computer like this?
    Should I remove the battery and use the computer? When using on current alternative computer runs slowly when the battery does not work.

    Thank you

    > Should I remove the battery and use the computer?
    You can do it if you want
    > When using on current alternative computer runs slowly when the battery does not work.
    Performance laptop has nothing to do with food but with parameters.
    I don't know what operating system you use, but if you have Vista, you can switch between the different profiles and each of them has different performance level.
    If you use it for normal work set for the balanced profile. If you require full performance of high power Performance set plan.

    You can remove the battery and continue using your laptop as usual.

  • Satellite A100: Dead battery + Random closures

    Hello everyone

    I'm having some trouble with my Satellite A100 after taking in a service center and I hope you can help.

    One of the brackets holding the button broke on my laptop so I took it to a service center to replace. Once I come back the laptop I noticed that the battery was completely dead and that my laptop stops after about 20 minutes of playing any kind of video game. I thought that the judgments must be an overheating problem, so I cleaned the fan with compressed gas however it made no difference. What is strange about closures, it is that the fan does not work at high speed until the computer shuts down, and according to a temperature probe, I downloaded that the internal temperature is not greater than 55 degrees. I tried my friend's battery in my Toshiba and it worked, so I know that it's just a dead battery and not a motherboard problem, but I mention that the two problems occurred at the same time and in some sort could be related. I have no idea what is the problem and I can't take to service center because I am currently a student in Finland and cannot afford to be without my laptop for a week.

    Thank you for your help.

    Ned.

    Update: I just upgraded my BIOS from 2.0 to 5.1 and had a mistake on the first boot: 0251: checksum CMOS bad system - default configuration used
    I hit F2 paged through the BIOS settings, then straightened and everything was fine. Should I worry about the error? Or is it normal for the first start after an upgrade?

    Hello

    1.) judgment of problems:
    I'm a bit confused of m.
    Was the laptop connected to the power adapter when the bottom is closed?
    You said you used another battery for laptop you and it worked. So in my opinion, there is a problem with your battery
    Try to replace and check if it works

    (2.) the system CMOS checksum bad:
    It s nothing unusual. The same thing happened to me after that the BIOS updated. I simply set the BIOS settings by default and everything was fine
    Don t worry

  • Satellite A100-225: battery power light flash orange

    Last night, plugged my AGES of NINE DAYS by Satellite A100-225, the lights were on, it was working fine.

    This morning, woke up, lights were turned off, tried to turn it on, the battery power button flashed light Orange.

    Tried to play with the cable by plugging it into other outlets that I knew worked, nothing helps.

    Have tried to start without the battery in it, without success.

    Unless there is a function that can prevent from starting somewhere, I don't know what to say. This computer is nine days old, and I do not understand how something can just wrong all night.

    Adding info if necessary - computer was on when I went to sleep, and was running Mozilla Firefox and WinAMP.

    Hello

    Perhaps the unit automatically goes in standby mode or hibernation?
    On this device, the automatic system standby/hibernation has been reinstalled. This function automatically stops the system when there is no input or material of access for a specified time. You can specify the time and select System standby or hibernation in the base of the Toshiba power saver settings tab.

    In addition, if the battery LED is flashing it means that the battery charge is low. The adapter must be connected to the battery.
    If it of not possible to charge the battery, so there are several possibilities: the battery could be dead, the AC adapter doesn't work or there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop.

    Try disconnecting the battery several times and then connect.

    But according to your ad you tried a procedure and it doesn t work. So I think you should ask the ASP in your country to help.

  • Satellite A100: Recovery DVD does not work

    I want to restore my Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop to its original factory condition, but the DVD that comes with the package of recovery does not work...

    I have load to start computer press F12, and it starts on the DVD. It says "Loading RAMDISK Image", after which I am told by Toshiba customer service there should be options to clean up the hard drive or restore Windows XP.

    However, after VIRTUAL disk, I see a cursor on a black screen, and then the laptop off and restarts. After the connection, NO CHANGES made...

    What is the problem with that? How can I really use this recovery DVD?
    Someone help me please.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The recovery procedure is not difficult.
    Just try to boot from the recovery CD or DVD and follow the Guide on the screen line.

    Your problem is very strange. You have created all the partitions on the HARD drive?
    I put really t know why your recovery CD doesn't work properly, but I think you should try to completely format the disk (also partitions), then try to boot from the recovery CD.

    Don't forget that the laptop is in the boot mode. (don t mix the standby or hibernation mode)
