Satellite A210-17I extinguished but battery led amber goes when reconnected AC

I've seen a few discussions on the batteries is discharged quickly.
To be honest, when my Satellite A210-17I is on batteries, they last for 1 hour + / 15 min and recharge relatively fast.

The strange thing is when I worked on AC and stop and unplug all night, I always find the battery when connecting to Acre the next orange light.

It happened when I had only Vista as well as now with only XP in the boot menu (Vista still not deleted).
I have no alarm clock apps in the start menu and could not understand what Windows or Toshiba apps should force the laptop to wake up while it is turned off.

Someone at - he a clue, any similar experiences, comments?

Thank you.

Hello

Sorry, but I could t find problems with your laptop.
Is that battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
I have an A210 with an AMD processor and my battery out lasts for about 1 hour 20 minutes using only internet Explorer.
The point is that all parts high performance like CPU and GPU ATI needs and wastes a lot of energy when running it only with the battery.

> The strange thing is when I worked on AC and stop and unplug all night, I always find the battery when connecting to Acre the next orange light.
It is perhaps strange to you, but this is normal behavior for laptop.
A wake on LAN (WOL) function could be the reason for the flow of this power.

Check this doc from Toshiba:
[Battery draining 15-20% when it is turned off during the night | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6B01N50013R01.htm]

On the other hand, the battery still loses 2-4% of the power. Also if the WOL function would be disabled.
There is also an interesting Toshiba doc who could confirm.
[My unit loses 2-4% battery by turning the device off then turn it back on. | http://APS2.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB6B01MY000WR01.htm]

See you soon

  • Satellite A210-17I does not start as it should - in fact, it does not start

    I'd really, really appreciate any help on this one.

    Saturday, I bought a Toshiba A210-17I. Monday, I plugged it in, the battery and when it was loaded, lit - Vista completed the installation and everything seemed quite well. I turned off overnight but this morning, I'm getting problems :-(

    When I turn on, the system appears at startup and in due time, I see that Windows is loading files, followed by the message "(c) Microsoft Corporation" with the progress bar. It scrolls on the screen for a while, the HARD drive light blinks several times then the screen turns off completely and it is as if the laptop is in a sort of hibernation mode - the power led (O with a vertical line) remains on.

    Exactly the same thing happens if I boot from the "product recovery" DVD - after pressing [F12] and selecting to boot from the DVD drive.
    The installed operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium OEM.
    The battery is fully charged.
    Memtest86 + v1.70 found no errors.

    Any suggestions as to what I can try next? I don't have all the data on the system so I don't care if everything is updated, I don't know hoe to proceed. Either way, I have access to (legitimate) copies of Windows 2000, Vista 32-bit & 64-bit XP and 64 - bit if this will help in any way?

    Thanks a lot for any useful comment ;-)

    Thanks for this info!

  • Satellite A210 - question about the battery life

    I have a problem: my laptop works only 1 hour of unplugged to electricity, so my battery died after working of 55minutes (I mean I look at the pictures or typing in WORD). Is this normal? How long is the average battery life?
    My model is SATELLITE A210/1AP (4000mAh) (my laptop is new; I bought it a week ago)
    Please write how much your maximum battery work.

    It is not easy to discuss this topic. With similar activity, I can use my Satellite A200, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. I don't know how you're using your laptop, but I recommend you to use all the power settings that can make the life of the battery a little longer.

    Check the method of cooling, power profile, reduce the brightness of the display and turn off WIFI if you do not use and so on.

    You must also understand that Vista needs far more resources than Windows XP Home edition and the life of the battery under Vista is not identical with Windows XP Home edition.

  • Satellite L670 question load - pink battery led

    Hey,.

    My laptop (Satellite L 670) often has a charging problem.

    First, the laptop runs normally, the power cord is connected and the battery correctly.
    That, however, the adapter is still plugged, all of a sudden the loading stops.

    At the same time two of the first three LEDs indicating the change:
    * Mode: adapter = white LED, power LED = white, battery LED = red-orange
    * Mode problem: adapter = white LED, power LED = no light, battery LED = Rose & flashing

    A few additional notes:

    -Sometimes when I go out to reconnect en loading adapter starts again, but sometimes it has no effect.
    -When the laptop is in sleep mode or stop charging happens without any problem.
    -If I remove the battery and the laptop works only on the adapter, there is no problem.
    -J' get the feeling that the workload problem often takes place when the fan starts or stops turning.

    No idea what my cause the problem?
    A broken battery or an adapter?
    A trainee problem?

    Thank you

    On the virtual path that is not easy to say with certainty what the problem may be, and we can only speculate what is the problem. In my opinion there is a problem with electronic power supply, so it must be checked by the Toshiba service provider.

    I have a similar problem with the old Satellite P200D. I ve tested with two adapters CA / CC and two batteries. The problem is always the same, so it must be a question of power.

    Is the warranty for your laptop still valid?

  • Satellite L40 - strange problem with battery LED indicator

    Hello

    I have Satellite L40 - 18w and I have a problem. When the battery is low or that he is in charge of the led is orange, but when it is fully charged there is no led indicator. Even if I turn it on, there is no light and if I check the power connection options AC adapter is recognized. Operating system is Windows XP PRO SP2. I tried to find the Toshiba Power Saver, but it seems that he can't stand L40.

    Would it be a hardware or a software problem?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    I had the same problem.
    Remove and install back the battery.

  • Satellite A210-17I HARD drive replacement

    As the title suggests, I'm an Equium A210-17I... He suffered a fall while the car was still running.
    In any case, long story short, I reflected on a replacement of Hitatchi Travelstar and saw it as a good opportunity to update my space... IE: change my broken 160 GB drive to a replacement of 300 GB +.

    Now I'm sure with all the 2.5 "Travelstar with a SATA interface?

    Any help would be awesome on the subject... Here is an example of the type of replacement drive, I thought I'd do, but I kinda scared to buy the wrong one:

    This is just an example...

    Cheers for reading!
    Your comments are welcome, because this stuff is all pretty new to me!

    Hi dude

    Yes, you will need a SATA HDD!
    The 2.5 "SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive would be OK.
    To avoid a problem with a 300 GB HARD drive, because the SATA HDD controller should support more HARD drive as well.

  • Satellite A500-1F4 - flashing Ac & battery LED

    Hello

    My computer was works perfectly, last week I tried computer but I found both the white LED for AC and amber LED for battery Flash - when I press the power, nothing happens just white no screen no sound comes from the computer - then I took the battery and tried again to put the power cord - this LED is now stable , but nothing once again, when I press the power switch. any suggestion?

    There must be some problem with electronic control gear.
    Unplug the power plug, remove the battery and let cell for awhile. Later, press the power button and hold it for 15 or 20 seconds. After having done that connect the power supply only and try to boot up your laptop.

    What happens when you do this?

  • Satellite A210-1AP - work time battery issue

    How long is the working time for the laptop on battery life in secure mode enegry?

    Everything does not require the use of the laptop
    If you use a CD/DVD drive or if the display brightness is set to a value greater or if a CPU and a GPU is running with more performance then the battery working time would decline so it's really not possible to tell an exact value

    I have an A210 and I can use it for about 1 hour with the battery power but my display brightness is always set to a higher value and I use only one IE navigation in internet.

    Hello!

    You use a Microsoft installation disc not the Toshiba Recovery disk, right?
    For Microsoft disc, you need the SATA/RAID driver. Have you downloaded?

    Also if you can not access the HARD disk I would check this with special tools:
    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. Then you can test the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    Hello

    I can't find information on the laptop I have it is a SATELLITE A210 - 1 4, but I can't find cela the initial descent down to the support of the abandoned area.

    I need to re - install the operating system, but the supplied product recovery disk fails every time.

    Hello

    Satellite A210 - 1 4 belongs to the PSAFJE series.
    You can find this number at the bottom of the unit

    You must choose the PSAFJE A210 driver download form

    I think that should be clear enough because instead of model, their number is no other numbers on the driver page
