Satellite A100 - problem with the operation of the battery

Hello!

My laptop (I bought 1.5 years ago) has a big problem when you use with the battery.
First of all, with a fully charged battery, the notification of "limited battery status" appears after 2 minutes of operation and after 5 minutes, he goes to the standby mode due to the level of the battery is very low.

Then, I plug it into the AC power and the battery remains yellow for about 15 minutes light and then turns blue.
(The battery is OK, I tested it on another satellite A100)

What can be the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Maria

Given that you have tested the battery in another satellite A100, the problem must be in the settings of your computer:

1 > START > CONTROL PANEL > POWER SELECT THE OPTIONS ICON

2 > you will now see a screen that shows your management food and note * one * has a tick that is a small point in a circle:

3 > BALANCED > POWER SAVER > HIGH PERFORMANCE

4 > THE PLAN OF POWER > CLICK ON CHANGE PLAN SETTINGS > WILL DISPLAY A SCREEN SHOWING YOUR PLAN!

5 > GO TO > * CLICK * WHERE IT SAYS CHANGE ADVANCED POWER SETTINGS

6 > IF YOU SCROLL THE BAR TO THE * SIGN + > BATTERY-CLICK * THE * SIGN.

7 > YOU SHOULD HAVE: you will need to have play with these settings, or you can click on restore plan defaults to see if that will solve your problem

Notes by clicking on the * + plus SIGN next to tany of these options below will allow you to change what event happens on your computer.

    Hello

    Please help me with the following 2 problems:

    1. I bought 10 L300, 2009 with Vista, and then I switch to Win7. After that the FN do not work. I can use a couple of access keys, but anyway, they do not appear on top of the scr4een as if it was on Vista. You have the solution to work again?

    2. after the upgrade to Win7, my battery is almost dead. I use 230V taken to work on my laptop. I used my laptop properly and it is really surprised that the battery had a life so short. You have a similar experience or you may have a solution to work again?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    (1) install VAP (value added package) and Flash memory card Support utility.
    For example, you can find the driver area L500 software.

    (2) you can try to define some battery saving options in the power management Windows 7 in order to reduce the working time of battery.
    I switched to Windows 7 and the battery still works fine.

  • Problems with the battery / Satellite A100 - 151 (PSAA9)

    Hello!

    My Toshiba laptop 3/4 years, has had problems with the battery. Battery does not charge properly and to start windows, the laptop down even when the battery is at 70%. Normal use without AC is not possible. The first 3 months, the laptop worked well with no battery problems.

    I hope to get help for my problem.

    Hi Sebastian

    Maybe is the problem on the battery itself. Without a lot of discussion, I recommend you contact the Service partner in your country. I hope you will get free new battery due to valid warranty.

  • Satellite A500 - problem with the monitor after restoration

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A500. He has a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can not read but once the laptop to boot completely it is fine. My problem is that I wanted to do a restore, but I couldn't because the screen problem it started so I plugged into an external monitor and perform the restore. That has worked well.

    But now the laptop recognizes any my laptop screen. When you go to view it offers no other monitor choice other than external, I used for the restoration. I downloaded the display driver but nothing has changed.
    ANY IDEAS?

    Thank you

    (I have the disks for the restoration, if that helps.)

    > There a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can't read
    If I understand you right you can see when laptop starts and you see Toshiba welcome screen. Is this good?
    When you enter the BIOS settings you see thise lines too?

    Later, when you see the desktop on the external monitor, you can use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between an LCD and external monitor. Please try to use it and post comments if it works or not.

  • Satellite A200 - problems with the AC adapter / CC

    Hello

    The problem concerns a Satellite A200 (PSAF6A-02H01N).

    Recently, there was problems with the laptop, taking several attempts to boot to Vista, it would lock up while loading or just hang and freeze just after loading Vista.
    But once it was up and the laptop running would be happy working for hours with the AC adapter is plugged in.

    The problem got worse now and the laptop will not load Vista end without crashing.
    We have now reduced the computer down to have only a problem when the power adapter is connected.
    The laptop battery will charge normally with the AC adapter is plugged in and the laptop on standby or off.

    The problem persists with the AC adapter is plugged in and the battery removed.
    The laptop will start and run perfectly with battery and no power adapter plugged. Once the AC adapter is plugged in the laptop indicates that the battery is charging and then after a few seconds it crash or freeze and the only escape is a full stop.
    The laptop will not work under the battery power for 30 minutes max.
    I checked the output voltage of the AC adapter and this seems to be a consistent 19.4 Volts.

    Is this only a problem of AC adapter or the problem with the laptop?

    Thanks in advance...

  • Re: Satellite C650 - problem with the devices connected to USB ports

    Hello

    Can help someone, I have a C650 and everytime I try to connect to something to him via the USB ports, it is not "found" by the computer?

    The other night, I tried to get pictures on my phone but it wasn'; work and I put it down to a problem with the phone, but today I tried to install something digital crafts for my daughter and during installation it tells you to insert the thing into the USB port and click Next, when I do that he's going through a lot of "research" and said then it can not be found.

    The laptop makes a beep sound as it would on an extraction device when you plug... I hope that makes sense. So I am now assuming that the problem is with my computer, is there something I can do to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry should add - it's like nothing is plugged at all when it is, and it happens on two USB ports, not just one...

    You are able to use an external USB mouse correctly?

    > but today I tried to install something digital crafts for my daughter and during installation it tells you to insert the thing into the USB port and click Next, when I do that he's going through a lot of "research" and said then it can not be found.
    I guess this could be a problem with the software or drivers installed.

    I searched a bit and his city that he has a software is compatible with windows vista/2000/xp. Win 7 is not mentioned do not know if this could be a problem, but in your case, I recommend asking the support of this software product for some advice.

    In addition, you can try to install this software once more, check whether this USB problem appears again.

  • Satellite A500 - problems with the temperature of the GPU

    The thing is playing Age of Empires online I started having problems with the temperature of the GPU. When you run the AIDA64 the CPU stress test can hold up well, but after 35 minutes the test what AIDA suspended while the GPU fan can't seem to download their revolutions, (I guess that if there was that a rise in temperature would increase the speed of rotation of the fan, don't).

    I consulted the manufacturer of the GPU, nVidia, (the graphic is nVidia GeForce GT 230 M) and tell me to contact Toshiba for other options, since, according to them, the problem is not the GPU.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    You use your laptop to factory settings?
    Have you installed something that may be responsible for this (non-Toshiba display driver)?

  • Problems with the battery drain on iPhone 6

    Hello! This is my first time posting but I had some problems lately with my iPhone while keeping a charge.

    So, this has started to happen a month ago (exactly one year after I bought my iPhone) and my battery drains just exponentially and evacuates it sometimes when I'm not using it and the internet is not on. For example I'll fully my phone until I fall asleep and I'll put it on airplane mode before going to sleep. By the time I wake up, the battery will be down to 60%. I do not use it during this time, I don't get notifications because all data and the internet is disabled. I do not understand why it is empty.

    Anyway, I've taken to the Apple store Genius bar twice now and they have not been able to fix it. They have tried to restore it... I did that before I went to the Apple store, but they decided to do it again and the second time the guy just told me to turn off all the background app refresh or anything I did but it we continue to attract.

    When I was at the Apple store, they also checked my battery and everything was normal. I got 100 below the number of average cycles since the age of my phone and the battery was in the green at 94%.

    I am really frustrated after two trips to the store person has managed to fix my phone and I have the impression that they will try to coax me to pay for something that won't fix my phone. Also if there is a problem with Apple hardware and nothing of what I've done so why should I pay for it when it started to happen at the level of the one-year mark. It's so boring, but if anyone else has had a similar situation for advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes that is exactly what they are trying to avoid. As you explained that you have visited it there twice to attempt to solve this problem, they could have offered to replace your battery for $79 that with your current battery showing 94% of its original capacity, that would not have done much for you at all.

    Have you been having problems with the reception of your carrier recently, when all this started happening? Were you see 1 or 2 points of service when you used to see 3 or 4? When you have restored your iPhone, you restore it as a new iPhone or restore a backup top later? Just try to refine some possibilities for the continuous emission.

  • Cannot start my Satellite A100 - 1 G - the battery light just flashes

    I have a laptop A100 - 1 G. Indicator of battery showed low and I plugged the power supply for the laptop and he showed the connection was made, later she flashed low battery connect to the power (although it was still connected) and then he would flash his load and then back to low battery, until it ends by died.
    Now it shows even not any light when I plug in the power adapter and start not upward, the battery light blinks just and nothing else.

    Help would be appreciated!

    I think the problem is the battery. Remove the battery from the laptop, connect only leave, adapter / it connected ten minutes and try to restart your laptop.

    Please let us know what happens when you do this.

  • Satellite 1905 - problem with the touchpad after awakening from Hibernation/standby

    Greetings.

    I've known a few interesting problems with my Satellite 1905 - S301.
    Whenever he wakes up from hibernation/standby my touchpad stopped accepting "taps" as a click on the left button of the mouse. It works normally with finger motion detection, but stops at all but it is quite annoying to restart the machine whenever he returns from hibernation mode.

    I've done a small workaround and after I close the laptop lid still works but this isn't the way it should work, I would have preferred that she either Hibernate than running for 10 hours without any sense;).

    Can someone give me the solution to this problem, please?
    Thank you in advance.

    Kind regards
    Akar

    Hello

    I agree with you. It s very boring to restart the machine each time to use the touchpad.
    This problem appears on the first day?

    I think there might be a software problem and, possibly, the new installation of operating system recovery CD Toshiba could help.
    I know, the complete installation is not the best solution, but it might help.

    You should also check you the touchpad. Satellite 1905 - S301 was designed for the U.S. market and so I checked the American website for available drivers.
    It seems that 5.3.203.2 is a newer version of the Alps touchpad driver for Windows XP.

    I suggest to reinstall the touchpad driver and check if there is no improvement.

  • Satellite P200 - problem with the use of disk HARD original as external drive

    I've been pulling on my hair for a month now and could do with help

    I have a Satellite P200 series PC laptop and have recently updated from the 200 GB for a pair or 320 GB HARD drive. No problem

    The question I have is that the old drive of 200 GB system I am unable to use it in any other machine or according to and external storage device.
    The original secondary disc works fine few matter where I use it... (In my PS3 at the moment)

    When I install the orgional system drive in my laptop and rebuild windows it it still works 100%.
    Hance a good work of 200 GB of HARD drive.
    Take it out and serve in another machine of storage that it won't - boot all I get is cyclic redundancy errors

    I formatted, low level run endless disk tools
    WD test came back with diagnostics Test::Read 11 - cable sector error!

    Even as a drive on the original laptop is the same

    All ideas taken with gratitude that I don't want to lose a good 200 GB HARD drive

    Thank you very much
    Roger

    Hello!

    The external box is maybe defective, because you said that the HARD drive works in your laptop and the PS3 without problem.
    You can test the HARD drive in another external case?

    WD test unknown to me but I always use the Drive Fitness Test:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    Good bye

  • Satellite C660 - problem with the upgrade from 4 GB to 8 GB

    Hello

    I have a Satellite C660-124 64-bit with Windows 7.

    I tried to extend the RAM of 4 GB (2x2gb) up to 8 GB (4x2Go), but the laptop is stuck on the 'Starting Windows' screen (I've already updated the BIOS and also if I tried with a new installation, the problem is the same).

    Aries is Kingston 4 GB PC3L - 12800 CL11 204 pins SODIMM
    Link: [http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KVR16LS11_4.pdf]

    Please
    Thank you to

    Well well, its certainly possible to increase the RAM up to 8 GB of RAM.
    Your case looks like a new RAM isn t entirely compatible or the module could be defective.

    Toshiba says that the DDR3 RAM (1 066 MHz) 4 GB RAM PA3677U-1M4G module should be fully compatible.

    The module PA3677U-1M4G should be the same as the module of Kingston KTT1066D3 / 4G
    You certainly need a module SODIMM DDR3 1066 Mhz PC3 - 8500 204 pins.
