Satellite A300 - battery failure

Hello
I have an A300 20F, with a battery 9 cells, which worked perfectly until yesterday.
all of a sudden, when I unplugged from the electricity grid, it no longer works (I mean - now it works only if connected).
does anyone know this problem?
is the problem in the charger, the battery or the computer itself?
by the way - it s a relatively new battery - I have about 5 months...
Thank you
gontow

Hello

You mean the laptop works only with the power adapter plugged in and stops immediately after the power supply is not disconnected?
Well, it s hard to tell if it s a problem with motherboard or battery, but if the battery is only 5 months old, there could be a power supply an electronic problem on the main Board.
But the technician must first check the battery before replacing the motherboard.

Therefore, get in touch with the local ASP to get more details.

  • Satellite A300 - battery won't charge

    I have a Satellite A300 - 21 H, which does not charge the battery, I tried a supply of replacement batteries and power with the same result, he said that they connected and charging the battery but in fact is not. Laptop works perfectly on power supply or battery, OS is windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hey,.

    Have you tried to charge the battery while the laptop is turned off or on?

    In your case, it would be test when the laptop is turned off. So you can make sure that is not a problem of software of s. check also if the LEDs for charge and connected adapter are on or off.

    In the worst case there s a motherboard related problem because you have already tried a new battery and charger so I think that there is nothing more you can do, but it s my personal opinion

    Hi all

    I have with me the notebook toshiba Satellite A300.
    Bought the UNITED Arab Emirates. I just upgraded my pc to windows 7 and it seems to have affected my battery life, I guess.

    Anyone has idea about hw long battery last, I mean hours.

    Is this the reason realley or is the problem of windows 7 with my battery, experts advise please.

    Thank you, vb sbar

    Hello

    I don't know if the update of the BIOS would help, but if the new BIOS is available for you notebook series, then it s a m updated value.

    But you should also check the Win 7 power management settings.
    Please check this Toshiba HowTo:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=41

    It s on vista but Vista power management is very similar to Windows 7.

    Here you must change the battery more user-friendly options.

  • Problem with battery Satellite A300 - battery displays error icon

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG0E.
    Suddenly the battery in my laptop icon began to show "There is a problem with your battery so that your computer could suddenly turns off".

    No idea why this happened and what do I do?

    What would it cost for a new battery in USD?

    What comments: it s the first time that I read about it m...
    Of course, I've read many messages are contiguous to battery problems, but I've never seen a notification of error in the battery icon.

    You could try to calibrate the battery.
    Discharge the battery completely. Then charge it at 100%. Repeat this twice!
    Check the operation of the laptop.

    But be aware that sooner or later your battery would die and you need to replace the battery.
    You can get a battery of 6 cells PA3534U-1BAS/BRS for about 70-90 Euros

  • Re: Satellite A300/U01 - failure of HARD drive?

    I tried to start my A300/U01 this morning and nothing happened after the noise/power/keyboard illuminated lights.

    I tried again and this time, the BIOS screen is appeared, but nothing later. The HD light never informed. I hear the ticking of the light in the machine, but nothing as if the HD was running fine.

    (1) that indicate a mechanical failure of the hard drive?
    (2) if so I lost all data on this drive?

    I have only a single folder, I care; Unfortunately, I've been lax in my backup.

    > 1) is - that this Signals a mechanical hard drive failure?
    N ° access to the BIOS (press F2) and check if the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS. If it s are not not in the BIOS, this means that the HARD disk is dead.

    (> 2) if so I lose all the data on this drive?
    Well, if the HARD drive was dying then you would lose data also, but first it of necessary to know if the HARD drive is really dead. For this check point 1.

  • New battery is not detected on Satellite A300

    Hello everyone

    I had this problem with my laptop Satellite A300 (PSAJ4E). I bought a new battery and my laptop. I have Windows Vista.
    The battery is not detected. When I remove the charger its work good but with indicator low battery so I m updating my BIOS but the problem is still there.

    I look around and tried to disable Microsoft in Device Manager.
    Still not fixed properly. I took the charger and then reinsert.
    It shows the power supply AC but free of charge.

  • Battery flat on Satellite A300?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A300-1 b 9.
    The battery was not working so I thought I should be able to fix the pc with a new. Bought a PA3534U on ebay and I tried. But the pc is still not all batteries. At least he wohn can't cool. So now I don't know what to try.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    In my opinion, there is an open question even if you bought a good battery to work.
    I'm not very well if you got an orginal m part even if the part number seems to be OK.

    As far as I know the two 6 batteries with part number: PA3534U-1BAS and PA3534U-1BRS must be compatible with the A300 series and I think that you should just try a new original battery.

    A lot of dealerships selling non original parts from China and from time to time these parties could not be entirely compatible with different systems.

  • Satellite A300 - consumes a lot of battery in mode 'sleep'

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A300-1MP, brand new, with Vista 32.

    When I put it in mode 'sleep', she devours battery. Something like 10-20% of the overnight!
    Why is this happening? Is this normal? If not, how to fix? Is there something I can do or is there a problem with the laptop battery?

    My old laptop is a Satellite M70-340, and standby mode, it would lose less than 5% per day!

    I'd appreciate your help!
    Thank you!

    You may need to disable certain options in the BIOS.

    What I am doing wrong? Any ideas on how I can get around this?

    Any help gratefully received

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all there are no many things that must be done if you replace the battery.
    The new battery should be automatically recognized by laptop and the Windows System.
    If it s not the case, then the battery is not completely compatible or malfunctioning.

    There are several batteries on the market; origin and original parts parts
    I recommend buying an original Toshiba Toshiba service block in your country.
    In this case, you can be sure that you bought a fair and good share for your laptop to 100%.

    Hello!

    I bought a satellite A300-1F0 6 months ago and everything worked perfectly.
    Last week I had a few problems with my battery: the battery is fully charged and if I put it in hibernation for a night, for example, when I start the computer the battery is completely discharged, and I put the adapter to start the computer.

    I have never encountered this problem before...

    Do you have a solution for me?

    You need not support. You must communicate with the service.
    It is normal that loose battery overnight but if the battery is empty the next day that something's wrong here.
