• Satellite P15 - if the plug comes out, the battery stops charging

  My Toshiba is rather annoying. I hope there is a solution to this and it is not integrated in the computer by braindead materials developers.

  My battery is toast. For a long time. I find the computer works very well if the power cable is in. If she comes out, the battery has usually about a minute and a half of her life. However, what makes me shit off the coast, it is that the battery does not load again. He will sit and drain his power to zero, even with cable connected sector, if the plug is disconnected even for a millisecond. The only way to load it again, is to shut off the computer and start upward.

  What the hell?

  Hi floydien,

  Wow, Satellite P15 is really an oldie.

  I m not an expert, but to me this looks like a battery or motherboard problem. A battery can be recharged about 500 times and after that it will lose a lot of power. This means that you can work a few minutes only on battery mode.

  In your case, I'll try a new battery. If it doesn t work I think you need a new mainboard.
  Also take a look on eBay. There you can get second hand cheap parts sometimes.

• L50 - B satellite will not start when the battery is completely discharged

  Hello

  My Toshiba L50 - B won't start when the battery is fully drained but connected to the power outlet.
  I try to work most of the time on the battery to keep the battery in good shape, but when I forgot to turn off the battery drains and the system will not start when I plug in the adapter.

  The battery charge indicator is orange light as it should. Only when the battery is fully charged to 100%, it will run at startup and function normally after that. I tried to turn on the laptop several times during the charge cycle, but only when the charge indicator changes from yellow to white it starts. Tested for 2 bodies.

  My old Toshiba always immediately turned on when I plugged the adapter even when the battery has been completely drained. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

  Thanks for responding... I hope well :-)

  Toshiba L50 - B
  Windows 8.1
  Any standard/original setting since I only acquired this laptop a month ago.

  The laptop should light up if the power adapter is plugged in and power the laptop corectly any if the battery is empty or during charge.

  Please check the version of the BIOS that is available on your mobile phone and compare with the BIOS available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver
  Maybe you need to update the BIOS, but to be honest, the history seems really odd to me and I m afraid that there could be some power supply electronic problem

  So in the worst case, the laptop must be checked by authorized service provider.

• Satellite A30 - 404 - the fan does not work

  I have a Satellite A30-404 for a couple of years now, and recently I saw serious problems with my laptop.

  Let me start from the beginning:

  My laptop has been a few months, when he suddenly stopped, I contacted the helpline and they picked up the phone and fixed.
  Again, a few months later, it happens again and I call them, they tell me that the problem is caused by the dust accumulating on the radiator of the laptop.
  I used a vacuum among fans to clean dust.

  When I do that, indeed, there was a lot of dust coming out, so I made this process, I realized a few months and the laptop remained very well.

  A few months ago, when vacunuming the pc again once I heard something breaking and I soon realized that all the components of one of the fan where gone.

  Probably one of them broke and since it had to be rotated at high speed he stopped and beat all the others. So I had 2 broken fans 1. I realized that in the long term that my processer could be destroyed because it did not good cooling. Since then the processer would become very hot and consumes much more energy than normal.

  Now, I also have the problem that whenever I turn on the pc it starts slowly draining battery (its plugged into the power supply). It's like I have a giant battery, the laptop power and eventually it will turn off. I also tried to boot the pc with no battery at all and it works very well for a while, but then it turned off suddenly. I try to turn on the pc and after 1 or 2 seconds it stops again. I don't know if its related to the fact that the processor is damaged boats.

  I talked to a lot of people in order to get the fixed fan but they say it can become very expensive since its hard getting the same fan. And by the way, when I work on the computer with only the battery that it depends on almost an hour

  Any suggestions? Help, please

  EDIT: I turned of the auto in hibernation when the battery is low to see what is happening, the energy of the battery indicates 0%, but the laptop stays on.

  Hello

  Well, you should be cautious if you use the vacuum cleaner to clean the fans. It is risky!
  Extra ball bearings might damage if the fans turn too fast.

  So if you have no experience with these procedures you should t do.
  The person with the experience as a technician workbook must clean the fans and cooling modules.

  I agree with Doomlord, and it seems that you need a new cooling module.

• Re: Satellite Pro L670 - can I turn off the sound when the battery is empty?

  Hello

  Is it possible to disable the bios beep when the battery is empty or the laptop's Hibernate?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L670.

  Even when the sound in Windows is turned off the laptop do a annoying sound.

  Thank you!

  Maybe it sounds silly, but I put t understand why that should be disabled. When the battery reaches the critical battery level you will be informed about this and portable must be connected to the power running or you have to save your work and turn it off.

  Do you really want to work until the battery is completely discharged?

  Anyway, AFAIK this notification level BIOS cannot be disabled.
  Let's see if someone else is better informed than me.

• Satellite U300 turns off when the battery has been removed

  Hello

  I'm on the laptop with the battery in place, and the power supply plugged in.
  That's when I take off the battery (always plugged power) who, after 5 seconds the laptop powers off.

  It's not happened before and now it happens ALL the time every time I have to remove the battery.
  I noticed that when the battery is removed, the battery light is always on – if for some reason any cell phone still thinks the battery is connected.

  For me, it looks like an electronic power supply problem.

  But it s just my personal opinion

  I think that the laptop should be checked by an authorized technician.

  Contact the ASP in your country and ask for verification

  If the warranty is valid then an everything should be done for free

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite U300 hibernates when the battery is very low

  Hello

  I bought my satellite U300 141 two weeks ago.
  The computer is not put into hibernation when the battery is very low.

  I checked the settings of vista, default 2% of the battery capacity, the laptop must Hibernate. But mine is not.
  But I noticed that the battery level does not fall below 5%. I tried to change the setting of vista from 2% to 5%, but it has no effect.

  Telephone toshiba support told me to update the package of the value 'stretched out' or something like that, but it has no impact too.
  the problem is still there.

  Anyone have an answer?
  I also tried to update the BIOS, but during the upgrade process, the software told me that I can't because I'm not the administrator of the computer, I am sure I am.

  so, if someone can help me please...

  Please check first if hibernation was enabled in Vista power options.
  Then you can assign to hibernation level up to 10%

  Maybe then your laptop will be able to enter hibernation mode

• When the battery drops below 50% the Satellite P200 turns off

  The laptop turns off when the battery is less than 50%.
  Do I have to get a new battery or what?

  Hello

  I guess you have preinstalled Vista.
  Have you checked your vista power management configuration?

  There you can assign some settings that would control the laptop turned off depending on the State of the battery.

  I think you need to set it to a lower level for example 5%

• Satellite A660 - recharge the battery

  I'm just after the purchase of a Toshiba Satellite A660-1FM i7-740QM. I brought it home and plugged and then lit it. It turned out perfectly, but it doesn't seem to work on the farm.

  Costs associated with 0% and it is fair to say that the battery is charging. He has served for the last hour and so far nothing.

  If I plug out then he dies immediately.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  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.
  Plug the power adapter of the computer
  When the PC is turned off, allow the battery to charge until the battery status light
  Disconnect the power adapter.
  Remove the battery.
  Wait 30 seconds and reinsert the battery.
  Reconnect the AC adapter.
  Let the battery recharge until fully charged battery status.
  Now your battery must be charged completely. You should notice more autonomy.

  I posted it for a toshiba official support base.

• Satellite M70-147 - the battery does not recharge

  Hello

  I have a problem with my battery, it seems that it does not re - pay.
  First of all, please read the following:

  -When I start the laptop with AC power plugged the battery seems to be charged to 100% according to the Toshiba Power Saver.
  -When I remove the block AC power the display brightness goes down, because it goes to the battery, until here everything is normal. However, you do not see the percentage decreases, it remains 100% which means fully charged.
  -After a few minutes, an audible alarm indicating that the battery is almost dead. When the alarm sounds the Toshiba Power Saver then indicates that percentage is about 6%.
  -Then I reconnect the power supply and turn on the orange light showing that the battery is charging. The light orange he should be in charge, but the percentage remains at 6%. But after 10 minutes the percentage suddenly increases to 100% and the orange charging light turns off.
  -When I turn off the laptop and reboot immediately after that the alarm is triggered, the Toshiba Power Saver says also that the battery is fully charged or 100%. This seems a bit odd.

  So my question is: what is the problem with the battery? or is there something wrong with AC/DC adapter? could result in the fact that he does not seem to charge more. Or is there something wrong inside the laptop.

  If anyone has an idea please let me know, thanks for now.

  > After a few minutes, an audible alarm indicating that the battery is almost dead. When the alarm sounds the Toshiba Power Saver then indicates that percentage is about 6%.

But after 10 minutes the percentage suddenly increases to 100% and the orange charging light turns off.

  I think I know what's wrong.
  Your battery seems to be dead.
  My old laptop battery can be used for about 2 min even it s fully charged.
  It pays for 2 min, then it s completely empty.
  Is nothing unusual as the battery slowly loses the own performance and it s just a matter of time where he died.
  I don't need a new battery because I m using Notepad as compensation for my desktop PC and the laptop is always connected to the sector.

  But if you need to use the battery, then you will need to replace it with a new one.

  Good bye

• Use of AC when the battery is at 100%? (S7-391)

  Hello world!

  I have been affected by the worst support from Acer, I have no problem with the ultrabook himself (Acer Aspire S7-391) but I have some doubts about pilots and other things, that they have avoided answering many ways. So, here's the thing:

  This ultrabook has all drivers that could be use the AC power when the battery charge reaches 100% to avoid tampering with the battery?

  The thing is that while I have 100% of the battery and the ultrabook is connected to the power adapter, it always seems to be draining the battery power and recharging it back to being 100% all the time.

  When I ask about the drivers, who might or might not be installed, I just need to find a way to access this functionality if possible, and if I can't, I need to know as soon as POSSIBLE so that I can start unplug the laptop right after that the battery has reached 100%.

  Thanks in advance.

  As you said with Connector 2 power pins can also disconnect the battery charge. It can disconnect the power supply from the battery charging circuit when the battery reaches a particular % with the laptop running load in power cables. I do not think that your computers support portable setting the level of charge of battery to a % custom. Your laptop must have a particular hardware and BIOS that supports. In some laptops, the BIOS has the ability to define a particular % of battery charge. I read somewhere that windows 8 do not support this feature, old version of windows (Vista) support this feature.

  Some write up I found online to help you.

  Memory effect

  First of all, it is necessary to unfold a myth that persists in the minds of many people.

  The effect of stack memory.

  In the basis of lithium batteries, it is in fact a myth, it applies only to the old nickel-based batteries. Therefore fully discharge and recharge the battery are completely useless and even harmful as discussed below.

  The modern lithium battery can be charged independently of its current percentage, because he has absolutely no negative effect in his performances.

  Should I remove the battery when the a/c is connected?

  Many users of portable computers have this question and we will answer it right now:

  The answer is: YES and NO, it depends on the situation.

  Have a fully charged battery and the laptop is connected is not harmful, because as soon as the load level of 100% of the battery stops receiving the energy load and this energy is shorted directly on the power of the laptop system.

  However, there is a downside to keep the battery in the holder when the laptop is plugged in, but only if he currently suffers from excessive warming caused by the hardware of the laptop.

  So:

  -In normal use, if the laptop does not get too hot (CPU and hard drive around 40 ° c to 50 ° c) the battery must remain into the Jack of the laptop;

  -Intensive use, which leads to a large amount of heat produced (i.e. games, temperatures over 60 ° c) the battery should be removed the socket in order to avoid unwanted heating.

  The heat between the fact that he has 100% load, is the great enemy of the lithium battery and not the plug, as many might think so.

  Battery discharging

  Full battery discharges (until the computer laptop power shutdown, 0%) should be avoided, because he insists a lot on the battery and may even damage it. It is recommended to perform partial discharge to levels of capacity of 20 ~ 30% and frequent accusations, instead of performing a complete discharge followed for a full charge.

  Laptop PC battery contain a gauge of capacity that allows us to know the exact amount of stored energy. However, due to the charge/discharge cycles, this sensor tends to be inaccurate overtime.

  Some laptops include in their BIOS, tools to recalibrate the battery meter, which is nothing else than a full discharge followed by a charge complete.

  So to calibrate the gauge, it is desirable, in all cycles 30 discharge, a full uninterrupted discharge, followed by a too, non-stop, full charge.

  An inaccurate gauge may have to the fact that the capacity of the battery are values are false. The battery can report that he still has 10% of capacity, when in fact it has a much lower value, and this causes the computer to the unexpected shutdown.

  Cycles of discharge (or charge) are to use this charge battery (100%), but not necessarily all at once.

  For example, you can use the laptop for a few minutes in a day, using half of its e ability then it load completely. If you did the same thing the next day, it can be considered a discharge cycle, not two, so it may take several days before finishing a complete discharge cycle.

• Tecra R10 - 10W - charge when the battery fully

  Hello

  I have this laptop for a few weeks and his strange behavior. Lets say I use this connected to AC and the battery is charged to 100%. When I disconnect from AC from one day to the next and connect it again in the morning, he begins to charge the battery, even if it is charged to 100%. It charges the battery for 5-10 minutes.
  Does anyone have a similar experience?

  Other portable wait until the battery level reaches about 95% before loading. Is there a way I can influence this behavior? I guess that this short of frequent charges is not good for the duration of battery life.

  Thanks for your opinions.

  As Akuma has suggested, it's a normal question.
  Nothing unusual, because the battery loses power even the laptop is turned off.
