Satellite A60: charging problem

Hey,.
I have a toshiba satellite A60 laptop. My laptop has 2 years. After that I used my laptop in battery mode, it fell because the battery was empty. When I plugged it on the net, the battery led flashed amber for less than a second and went back. The battery and the batteryled came out.

Windows detects the battery however. The laptop still continues to operate on the battery for a few minutes. I already had this problem about a year ago, and after a few months the battery began to charge again.

Someone at - it a simular problem and how do you solve?

Thanks (sorry for the bad English)

Hello

Maybe the battery cannot load properly because he has a malfunction.
Generally, the battery performance decreases the extent of time.
I read that you can charge and discharge the battery about 500 times and then the performance breaks down.
You can try to remove the battery for a few times. After this time try to load it.
I also recommend check if this problem also occurs with a new battery.

But it is also possible that there is something wrong with the electronic power supply.
This could have a negative influence on the loading process.
I also read that the BIOS update have solved some problems of charging the battery.
But if charging the battery worked for 2 years, so I guess that the BIOS is ok.

However, check with a new battery.

  • Re: Satellite A60 - overheating problem

    Hello

    I have some difficulties to adjust temperature and fan on my Satellite A60.
    The operating system is Debian and the fan operates at temperatures of 60-65 degrees Celsius (without any process started after the login).
    I had installed utilities like toshutils, fancontrol, lm-sensors... but basically I have not found a solution for this:

    toshiba_acpi #modprobe
    Error: No such device

    Toshiba #modprobe
    Error: No such device

    Now, I ask you advice, please.
    If there are no alternative solutions, recompiling the kernel 2.6.24 (or other) is a solution to this problem? If the answer is 'Yes', how to prepare the package source?

    Now the system works, but not very well at that latitude this question isn't a good prelude to my summer job.

    Best regards

    HM,

    already checked the debian/gentoo/ubuntu forums? Or maybe freshmeat.net where toshutils all appear in their projects?

    Unfortunately I can't tell you why the modprobe won´t work but don't you compiled the kernel option ACPI from toshiba? It must be something that controls the trough of explicitly from functions ACPI kernel using the userlevel tools.

    By the way: have you read newspapers after trying the modprobe of the listed modules you´ve? Please make the modprobe more 'verbose', there may be something usable...

  • Satellite A200: Charging problem

    I have Toshiba Satellite A200 and recently I got some software with charging problems :(

    When the battery is on 96-99% it does not start when I plug the charging cable (and says that the battery is at 100%).
    If it is less than 96%, it starts to load, but it remains too long on 99% than before :(

    Anyone who is familiar is what I need to do to start to load even if it is about 97% (for example :))?)

    Have not observed this behavior management, but I can also say, that percentage is longer on 99 and then on others. Why, I don't know.
    And I didn't look if he is in charge of 96, above or below.

    I think it's normal and wouldn't call it a problem.

  • The disk on the Satellite A60 boot problem

    I have a Satellite A60, I thought that the HARD drive was not on.

    When you turn on the machine, it goes beyond the POST screen and starts with the startup of Windows XP, I get the blue bars moving and the XP logo then IT just freezes.

    Replaced the HARD drive for a brand new, re-installed the OS but I have the exact problem in the same exact spot.

    Any help appreciated

    Hello

    If reinstalling the system does not work, you can try to reinstall the BIOS. If not help too, the problem must be hardware related. Your only chance is a service partner, cause then you can't do it yourself.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A60-392, problem of flash memory

    Hello world
    I just installed Win XP Pro on my laptop A60-392. I have a Sony Microvault 128 MB of flash memory. I plugged the memory stick into a usb port. The device drivers have been installed correctly, but then the memory stick looks like it's empty. I checked with the other pc and it works perfectly. I also checked the slot usb with a mouse or other usb camera devices, and both work properly. Any ideas on that?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Please check if you have any "mapped manully" devices that could collide with the Windows dynamic drive mappings.
    F.ex. If you have a network folder that you have written or manually set on E: and the PC has a C: (hard drive), and a D: (CD/DVD) then the next card reader would be E:. Windows is not 100% good to discover you already manually or by other means mapped your network to E: folder so he's trying to map your USB drive to E: - then it will be not visible in Explorer and so on.
    Solution: Map the USB device or mmanually device mapped to a different drive letter.

  • Question about battery charger - Satellite A60

    I live in the United Kingdom and hope someone can help me here. I have a problem with my laptop Satellite A60 where it will no more work on the power adapter as the laptop power light does not illuminate and not fed, it. So I used the battery upward and he works on it but who reached now so I can't load up on the computer.

    So I would like to know if I can buy a charger for the battery to use just battery mode all the time. I say this because I had a guy look at the laptop and he said I had a small burned/broken component on the motherboard and was the reason why I can't get the socket and replace the Commission would cost 250/300 pounds is true or could I get a cheaper or the Board repaired.

    Does anyone in the UK/midlands know of anywhere? This is why I would like to know if I can get a battery charger for my computer...

    Hi mate,

    I'm sorry for you because of your situation. It's really not very nice when something happens.
    Unfortunately it isn't charger for your battery because they are charged in the machines.

    Then, you can do the following:
    Remove the hard drive (to save your data) and sell the machine on ebay. After that, buy a new one. :)

    or

    Bring your machine to repair and pay good money to make your machine working again.

    Hope I could help you ;)
    See you soon

  • Satellite A60 - laptop battery not charge/work

    Hello

    My stop laptop when you use the battery power. It will not re-start until I plugged in to the power supply. Every time I disconnected power laptop would shutdown. laptop does not work on batteries, no lights are working.
    When it is plugged seeing orange lights. Battery remains 90% fresh even after hours on departure av! I suggest that I can't use the battery power and the battery won't charge.
    Only a new battery in a month and has worked well up until now.

    I tried toshiba control energy saver but made no difference.

    I can't say with certainty if this happens because of the battery or something. In my opinion, it can be either battery or electronic power supply.
    Satellite A60's old laptop and everything is possible.

    Pre-installed software doesn t have a any influence on this. Toshiba power saver is preinstalled to consumption, Manager, with other words to help reduce battery power consumption and longer battery.

  • Problems with map graphics on my Satellite A60-672

    I have a Satellite A60-672 which graphics by ATI. Repeatedly at startup until it broke down and the system crash online said whenever it is ATI technologies. I sent ATI and they said that there is nothing to do with them.

    I tried Toshiba, but none of the work address by e-mail. The crash system tells me to uninstall the software, but given that I put on, I mistrust all this as it may ruin the functioning of my laptop.

    Currently, my laptop works very well with this ongoing problem. This happened to someone else or we know how to contact toshiba.

    Thank you

    Sounds like a driver problem, you just need to download the Toshiba display driver, uninstall your old ATI driver with the ATI Control Panel, restart and reinstall again.
    don't worry this will cause anything on your laptop in addition to repairing damaged files that crash. It is a simple operation.

  • Satellite A60 - possible ram problem

    I have a satellite a60 he says he has 256 RAM. on aol checking my computer tells me that I have only 192 RAM anyone any idea, what the problem might be?

    [Edited by: admin on 22 May 05 20:28]

    Hello

    I suspect that your RAM is shared with your graphics (usually 64 MB) so even if you actually 256 MB RAM, 64 MB is pré-alloué graphics use 192 MB. Your computer AOL chack reports available rather than the actual RAM RAM

  • Satellite 1130 battery charge problem

    Hi, just joined this site. I have a Satellite 1130 and seem to have a battery charging problem. Every so often, without regular pattern or a set of events to help the machine starts beeping and the Red charge blinks, as if the battery charge runs out, it is, but it happens when the charger is plugged - green power light shows that it is connected, but it is not the battery. The only solution I found is to turn the power off, disconnect the battery and back again. Then everything works until the next time.

    Any ideas?

    [Edited by: admin April 23 05 18:07]

    Hello

    It is possible that there is a problem of electronic power supply. If the power supply microcontroller detects an error lamp DC IN sends a code flashing (8-bit error code). Can you please check it if the led blinks 8 times sending the code?

    You can try to contact the Service partner, explain the problem and I'm sure they can give you a clear explanation.

  • Power supply plug problems - Satellite A60

    Ive got a satellite A60-155 and its just out of warranty, but isn't there always the way I pulled the plug on the back of my laptop and the center of the pin of the plug on the laptop came out with it.
    for something that should be quiet robust is not, how many people have had this problem?

    I would be interested to know before I phone services to customers in the coming days as its only 12 months and 26 days and Yes have had warranty extended, but these things should not break up

    Hi Kenny,

    I have also experienced the center pin breaking on the my SA30 power outlet. As you rightly say, they are not particularly robust and can easily be damaged by something to catch the cable when it is plugged.

    The bad news is that the normal remedy is to replace the card mother:(sauf si vous pouvez trouver un réparateur prêt à souder sur une nouvelle prise de courant.)
