Satellite A200 battery run time

G ' Day, I have an A200 series PC laptop which is about 2 to 2.5 years, since the original battery died. I bought a new battery - one more (in other words, he had to last longer than the original). The new battery is not completely charged after charging for 6 hours, while the machine stops and only lasts 2 to 2.5 hours on battery. The power settings are balance and I especially don't work only with the word doc and sometimes the media player in the background.
The original battery (small capacity) used to last 2-3 hours on these parameters.
The manufacturer said tht, it may be a driver issue any.

If anyone has had a similar dilemma, and there, anyone know how I could fix this problem apart from return to the manufacturer of the battery?

Concerning
Rgtom

2.5 hour battery run time on the Satellite A200 is OK for me and it's the same as on my Satellite A300.
I think 2.5 hours DURATION is just average for this model of laptop.

Can you please tell us exactly what battery you bought?
Can you send us exact Toshiba part number?

    Hello

    It looks like a malfunction of the battery. What do you think?

    If the battery issue also appears on the second laptop using the same battery then I would try a new battery.

  • Satellite A200 - battery empty after 2 hours

    My laptop SATELLITE A 200 - BJ runs exactly 2 hours when I'm on the plane "save energy" - then I have to download. Is it normal?

    I bought 1 month ago and I don't konow how :(
    Please help me, thx

    Hello

    Why would it not normal? I presume that you very well now that Vista uses more resources than Windows XP Home edition and it is logical that energy consumption is also higher than on Windows XP Home edition.

    To be honest the 2 hours is OK for this model of laptop. I have the Satellite A200-1CR and battery is also about 2 hours. Less than 2 hours, but sometimes it depends on notebook use.

  • Satellite A200-1NF needs time to read the USB flash drive

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-1NF, model No.: ETA 6-055021FR works with Windows 7.

    My problem is that my USB is plenty of time to read the USB keys.

    Could you please help me to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Sorry, but for me the question is not clear enough... Satellite A200 recognizes the connected USB MemoryStick?
    If he recognizes the USB device connected, then everything seems to be OK.

    By the way: you said that the laptop needs a lot of time reading the USB...
    How long does it take and have you checked if the number is displayed using different USB ports and different flash memory sticks?

    If this is not the case, what to do

  • Re: Satellite A200 - lights ever time!

    My TOSHIBA Satellite A200 doesn't want to turn on every time sometimes it round after 10 attempts the blue icon Satellite lights every time.
    Any idea what's wrong with it?

    Hello

    You see the Toshiba start screen at the beginning of the boot order?
    You are able to access the BIOS?

    If it is then maybe your motherboard is affected :(
    That s my personal opinion.

    But you must contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country for a hardware test to make sure which part is malfunctioning

  • Satellite A200 - battery and a fan failure

    My Satellite A200 is a little more than a year and has not stopped the charge battery.

    While watching over portable saw fan does not no more, although no effect on performance when it is connected to the House.

    Two probs are fan cannot be hardware failure?

    And is it connected to the failure of batt?

    For me, it is not easy to say that the two issues are related somehow. You can check the functionality of fan if the laptop works on AC power only. Remove the battery and check it out.

    Also try changing the profile of power and method to see if it has any influence on the cooling fan feature.
    What about the battery? If the battery has stopped loading it may be due to the battery itself or perhaps electronic power supply on the motherboard, but if you want to have an exact answer to this the laptop must be controlled by authorized service provider?

    The warranty is still valid?

  • Shaking image on the external monitor when the Satellite A200 is running on AC

    Hello

    I have this problem that drives me crazy... I bought an external monitor for my laptop Toshiba Satellite A200-1 9 s, but the problem is that the image on the external monitor, shakes. I tried another monitor, the same, another cable, same problem; the only way to stop it is to unplug the AC of the laptop.

    I also tried to move the monitor further away from the laptop, but nothing.
    I can stop shaking so hard that if I switch to the profile AC from FULL POWER to save power... but even with this image is still shaking a little.

    So basically there is a magnetic field around here, probably in the portable, which makes my picture shaking like crazy... someone knows how to stop it?
    TX

    Hello

    Hmmm...
    I don't think it has to do something with magnetic fields.

    Cause she is related to the energy consumption of the computer, it seems that there is a problem with the AC adapter.
    If he needs to deliver all the 'juice', this is capacitors to keep absolutely stable voltage may be too low.
    These instabilities (with the frequency of 50 Hz supply) can parasitize the signal on the screen.

    A solution for this?... If you know how to solder some fat capacitors somehow between the two...

    Or:
    It is a grounding problem
    I have never heard of such problems with the LCD (VGA monitors?) monitors. Generally, this is the case when you use an analog video output,
    leading to no color on TV.
    You have an annoying hum when you connect the audio output to an amplifier? It would be a sign for it.
    I had such a problem and solved by plugging my laptop on the sector on another circuit in the House as my audio devices
    So experiment with it.
    First: unplug all the other stuff (printer, Poles, antennas, all) these are unpleasant problems with a lot of possible interference.

    Let me know!

  • Satellite U920T - battery short time after 2 years of use of work

    Hi all

    My 2 years old computer U920t laptop / Tablet satellite ultrabook has bad battery life. The battery will only last up to 2 hours before requiring charging on the basis of data entry doc/excel word normal.

    Any ideas on how I can improve it?

    The Toshiba pc health monitor function constantly informs me that I need to replace the battery because of normal wear and tear, but I thought that the battery is an 'internal' part means that it cannot be replaced?

    If anyone can offer some advice that would be great!

    Hello

    In my view, it is generally any kind of a rule or a standard on the battery life. On some machines battery hold capacity for an extended period of time by comparison with other models of laptops.
    Is that over time the battery will discharge capacity and result will be reduction of working time.

    You can try to increase the hours of work change some power options and turn off some unnecessary background processes.
    Several new models of laptops have a newer design where battery can be removed so simply and it is placed under the lower lid but it can be replaced also. A day where you need again the closest contact Toshiba service provider and they can replace it for you.

  • Satellite A200 - I can't see battery time remaining single percentage

    Hello

    I had a Satellite A200 on Vista and XP, and I'm NOT able to see the remaining estimated battery time. I see only the percentage left.

    For example, I use my laptop unplugged for over an hour (my comments) and I can only see the percentage left (45%), but I can't see the time remaining.

    I have a problem with Vista or XP.

    Is - this natural? What can I do to see the time remaining?

    Thank you

  • Satellite A200 - 1 H 2-1 hour battery drains

    Hello

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 H 2 2-3 weeks. Sound obtained by T5440 Core3Duo, 2 GB of RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600GT 256 dedicated (up to 1025 with turbomemory).
    I am aware that I got a fairly good CPU and GPU and they cost power.

    But is this normal when POWER safe mode on my battery drains completely in a little more than 1 hour?

    Elwin

    Hello

    Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop!
    But as far as I know the A200 runs approximately 1.15 hours on battery

    In addition, the laptop came with a standard battery.
    If you need more power, you should buy a stronger battery with 6000mAh or higher.

  • Satellite Pro L550-17R - battery operating time

    I am looking to buy a Toshiba Satellite Pro L550-17R. I'm afraid that the battery life is not enough for my needs. I looked at the option part: -.
    Battery high capacity - Li-ion 12 cells 9000mAh PA3727U-1BRS.

    Does anyone have an idea (realistic approximation for average use) how long the run time would be with this improved battery used in conjunction with the specified model laptop?

    Thank you.

    G.

    Hi mate,

    I think that it of quite difficult to say something about it. Remaining time depends on many factors:
    -Screen brightness
    -The software you use
    CPU usage-
    -etc.

    But I think a battery 12 cells should give you a good time. As far as I know this would be the maximum of cells at the moment.

  • Satellite A200 - eblib.dll is not designed to run on windows

    My laptop Satellite A200 started giving me warnings saying * eblib.*dll is not designed to run on windows or it contains an error.
    The file has been deleted with combofix c:\programdata\xp.

    I need this file?

    I checked with McAfee and Alvira antivirus plus several spyware and the laptop seems to be clean.
    I had the same problem with odbc32.dll. Replaced by a copy from another computer vista laptop successfully.
    This file is needed?

    The only info I have found says he is Compal Electronics, but does not say what he does or what component it uses.
    Could someone send me a copy of this file, please!

    Help
    Thank you

    Hello

    I discovered that eblib.dll belongs to EBLib of COMPAL ELECTRONIC dynamic links library.
    To be honest I have never heard of this software on Toshiba laptops so I think you can remove or uninstall the system.
    Also clean the registry with CCleaner several times
