Satellite A100 - battery held alone for 7 minutes

I have a model A100 PSAANC - VA305C PC and the battery which is PA3399u-213AS. Approximaetly 2 years.

In the recent past, the battery held only for like 7 minutes and now I find that the battery won't charge at all. I hardly use the computer on battery sound mode always on ca.
Can someone help me solve the problem?

Thank you

Looks like the battery needs to be replaced. Batteries must be completely discharged and recharged at least once a month to keep it cool. Otherwise they wear out quickly.

What version of BIOS you have installed? I found this article: http://209.167.114.38/support/techsupport/tsbs/all/-TSB001281.htm

    Need help my computer keeps freezing on me if I leave it alone for 15 minutes or I'll watch a video in full screen and when I try to close it freezes.

    Hi Samurai14,

    If the steps provided Mick did not help, it is possible that your Windows installation is damaged. The following link has instructions on how to reinstall Windows Vista:

    If after a reinstall, you still have problems with Windows freeze, it is most likely hardware related and you should contact the manufacturer of your system for further assistance.

    > does anyone know how calibrate/solve this problem?

    How long do use your battery? Perhaps, he's already exhausted and you need to replace for the nine.
    Anyway, try this:

    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.
    Connect the computer to the power adapter by ensuring that the connection is closed.
    When the PC is off, let the battery charge complete
    Disconnect the power adapter.
    Remove the battery.
    Wait 30 seconds and reinsert the battery.
    Reconnect the AC adapter.
    Keep the battery fully charged.

  • Satellite A100 - Internet becomes slower after 10 minutes

    Hello

    the Satellite A100 worked well for a few years, the internet has become suddenly too slow after 10 minutes of the start.
    The laptop switched on the first time that the internet works very well the 10 first minutes then becomes slower and slower until almost no packets are received but the connection does not completely down.

    Suspected spyware, rootkit, is cleaning up, and then installed from the disk recovery

    Then I tried the same thing. Uninstalled the connection to the local network and then reinstalled from the Device Manager, nothing.
    I figured that the Ethernet port is a failure. Then I used an adapter usb-to-Ethernet D - Link is completely independent of the integrated Ethernet hardware. Nothing, same behavior, working, first fine then Firefox displays a downtime

    The modem, cable, internet are all very well since I have tested with a PC and a laptop Fujitsu (5 years) and they all work very well. Even the D-Link works fine.
    The Toshiba pc diagnostic tool specifically says "Network Fail", but it crashes exactly?

  • Satellite A100 battery is empty after 1 hour

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite A100-720:

    When I change to normal energy saver, the battery is empty after almost an hour.
    Even if I change to long mode, the battery is empty after 1.5 hours.

    Anyone has the same problem?
    Is this normal or maybe my battery is damaged.

    Thanks for every answer you need

    (And sorry for my bad English)

    Hello

    No, I don't think that there is something wrong with the battery.
    The fact is that the battery performance is dependent on the use of the laptop and so you can get different results of time.

    You said you use the A100. Well, to my knowledge some A100 series laptops have been delivered with a standard battery of 2000mAh.
    If you want to use the laptop longer with the power of the battery I advise you to buy an extended battery packs.

    On the Toshiba Options & Accessories site you will find various supported batteries.
    Maybe you'll find a Li-ion, 6000mAh battery 9-cell or Li-ion 12 cells, 8600mAh

  • Satellite A100: Battery does not charge

    I have a problem with the battery of high capacity on the Satellite A100-720. Accidentally I forgot the action of critical battery set to 'No action', so the battery got virtually completely discharged and now the laptop refuses to charge the battery. The orange light comes on, but the NHC program reports no load current and just on 0%.
    It is also strange that if I stop the laptop and unplug the power cable and then reinsert, it takes a second or two for the connector blue AC light upward and another a few seconds for the battery charging light illuminates... that's not happened before.

    Is there a way to fix this?

    Hello

    While the laptop is turned on and connected to the adapter try to remove the battery and put it back up shortly after. Look at what happens and we report.

    By the way: what is the number of the part of this battery high capacity you use with your Satellite A100?

  • Satellite A100 - battery all night while the power is off

    Hello world

    I have a new Satellite A100 and I noticed that when I fully charge it and then turn the power off and remove the plug from the socket, the next day when I stick it back in the socket of the control light yellow says that he is in charge.

    So, I turned on the computer laptop and checked is full battery and it says 94%. I let it finish loading at 100% then it off again and came out of the plug. The same thing happened the next day! He held again!

    I don't know that I did not in Hibernate mode because I checked all the settings and choose Turn Off to turn off the laptop.

    I read on the battery recall, so I searched on the toshiba site and downloaded the program from battery test. The result came out that my battery is not between the serial numbers involved. I even manually checked the number on their list but mine is not supposed to be affected.

    Is anyone having the same problems, or is it normal that the battery itself?

    Please let me know... Thanks :)

    Hello

    It is normal and you should not worry about this. The same thing happen on my Tecra. Please check this Toshiba document on this http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ6301EP000ER01.htm

  • Satellite A100 - battery rest led lit Orange

    The battery rest light color Orange/orange and the battery symbol on my task bar constantly States ' 87% available (plugged in, load). I'm connected. If I remove the card, the computer is de-energized immediately.

    I tried a new original Toshiba 'Battery', but I had the same problem. The only difference is that the battery symbol on my task bar constantly States "70% available (plugged in, load).

    I checked the battery contacts and the computer, they look very good.

    What should I do?
    Should I install the drivers? Or could it be the motherboard?

  • How re - recalibrate Satellite A100 battery

    I wanted to ask you a question.

    There is a program to recalibrate the battery Toshiba Satellite A100? (official or unofficial)
    I tried see the energy saving options, but I found nothing.

    My battery now lasts even 1: 30.

    Thank you all.

    You could try to calibrate the battery completely discharge and recharge
    This should be done 2 or 3 times in the line.

    But note; It s nothing unusual as a loose battery own performance after some time of use it s a behavior normal battery and after a long period of use, the battery must be replaced!

  • Satellite A100-570: need Driver for ATI Xpress 200 M graphics card

    Hello

    Could someone tell me where I can find the driver for my advice on video ATI card in Vista Edition Home Premium - 32 bit?

    is the name of the device: RADEON XPRESS 200 M Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM)
    Hardware ID is:
    PCI\VEN_1002 & DEV_5A62 & SUBSYS_FF101179 & REV_00
    PCI\VEN_1002 & DEV_5A62 & SUBSYS_FF101179
    PCI\VEN_1002 & DEV_5A62 & CC_030000
    PCI\VEN_1002 & DEV_5A62 & CC_0300

    INF section is:
    ati2mtag_RC410M

    Currently, only the ATI V7.14.10.8333 from Microsoft update driver can be used.
    It is using inf section:
    'RADEON XPRESS 200 M Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM)' = ati2mtag_RC410MB, PCI\VEN_1002 & DEV_5A62 & SUBSYS_FF031179

    I tried to download the '7-4_vista32_dd_ccc_enu_44985' of ATI driver, it does not recognize the video card. I check the INF file, it does not contain the inf section: ati2mtag_RC410MB. To install the ATI card manager does not recognize the video card and shows: no corresponding material found.

    my laptop is Toshiba A100-570. I also checked the Web from Toshiba site and tried the 'display-vista-8311003206112' driver, not worked not too.
    He said the installation of the driver failed. but no other info showed.

    so I hope that there is something updated from 7.4 to Vista driver capable of recognizing my video card.

    A big thank you to you.

    Hello

    It s very strange. Usually, the graphics driver ATI Toshiba for Vista should work!
    Satellite A100-570 belongs to the series of PSAA2.
    If you always choose this series on the download page of Toshiba if you want to use the drivers of Tosh!

    I checked the download page and it seems that this package contains the software of the chipset ATI UMA and the display driver.
    Maybe something was wrong during the installation process

    The last possibility might be the manual installation of the graphics driver.
    You can download this package and then you could install the driver through the Device Manager.
    You must manually assign to the source of the driver!

    It's worth a try
