Satellite A660 - battery discharge per day in shutdown/Hibernate implementation

I presented my Satellite A660 for troubleshooting, after that months of testing a battery discharged 5% / day in hibernation (4 + % / closing day). When the battery is removed from the laptop, there is no noticeable effluent. The discharge when the battery is inserted is much higher than a previous laptop I've owned, but Toshiba says it's normal.

I was wondering if I could ask people for what they found to be normal (compared to what they have found to be problematic).
Thanks for the stories.

  • Satellite A30 - battery discharges when connected to the network

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me!
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A30. He has recently started to discharge the battery when it is connected to and running off, the sector. If the screen icon shows current alternative (mode full power), but the % of the battery decreases by 5% per minute.

    The battery on the laptop light is off. If I turned off the pc, the light will go orange, load. When I restart, it stays orange for a few seconds, then turns off again.

    Is this a problem with the battery or load main, or something else? Please help, this is driving me crazy, that I keep having to turn it off to recharge!

    Thank you very much

    I think battery is responsible for this. Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, so I guess the battery is the best.
    Remove the battery and check the label of the battery. You will find the exact reference. using this part number, you can order new battery for your laptop satellite.

  • Satellite L750 - battery discharging while the computer turns

    Satellite L750, Win7. 18 month old computer & have noticed that when you turn it on, the battery is 75 - 80% charged only after having been 100% the day before. If I have the computer off for 2 days the costs would be 60-65%. Is the need for battery replacement or I forgot something? Any idea on the price of a replacement battery?

    In normal use the battery should last about 90 minutes.
    Suggestions appreciated, thanks mrpringle

  • Satellite A660 - battery charging problem

    Hello everyone. I have problem with my laptop to load for a while.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Satellite A660 - fan 90% on battery optimized mode

    Hi all my dear users of Toshiba that I really respect because they use such great brand Toshiba. I hope you have the time to read my problem and that its length can not bother you and you can do me favor and answer me.
    I am from Egypt and I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite A660 - 17M. It is really a great device and I've updated the BIOS twice on the official website of Toshiba and now I have the 2.00 BIOS os independent.

    My problem now is that the fan cooling and here's what happens with me. When I adjust method in the Toshiba cooling ensures peak performance so that the temp is between 36 to 63% and the fan speed is 52 to 75% and it takes a lot of time turns off because it is not easy to reach the beach of temp which makes it either stops when I'm inactive or work.

    The largest part of the problem is that when I change the method of cooling battery optimized mode everything working the fan going to 90% and rest, so never or up to this I put the laptop before in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 minutes. Then it is cool and it stops. So in the meantime either inactive or work done, it jumps again to 90%. When I turned off my laptop and wait to be completely cooled, then turn it on while in battery optimized mode the fan starts working during start-up only stops until Windows starts completely then it climbs to 90% and remaining so ever except when I force him to be cool by placing it in front of the fridge.

    My friends, I think that it is not logical to always work in conditions of refrigerator and also it is illogical to have fan always 90% especially that I'm on battery optimized mode.

    What is the problem in your opinion, and if someone has the same laptop can help and describe what is happening with him also. I do not remember if these events are produced before BIOS set to day or not as I they weren't in my mind before BIOS update and I don t know whether or not this happens also before the BIOS update.

    From what I understand, is that the battery optimized mode fan running weaker than the maximum performance mode. Then what's happening and if you say he remains silent until this than complete Windows starts and runs then 90% to compensate for the accumulated heat, I agree with you, but shouldn't t happen to some extend then stops at the battery life optimized according to the name of the battery optimized mode.

    Really I am so disappointed and now know what the problem is. Please help and don t advise me to call Toshiba. Whatever they say please send us the laptop. I m waiting for your responses and thanks a lot for the time spent reading my message.

    Hey,.

    Normally if you use the battery mode optimized for the method of cooling the fan will run less maximum performance. So your laptop will work more silent, but with a higher temperature but usually you don't notice it.

    So if this happened only since the update of the BIOS is you load the default settings in the BIOS after update? Go to the BIOS Setup and press F9 to load the default values. Then save & exit the BIOS Setup.

    I would be also interesting to know what operating system you are using. What is the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation?

    The fan should be cleaned from time to time using a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. This can also help improve the cooling. An accurate and interesting article on cleaning the notebook, you can find here:

  • Satellite M35X-S329: discharge of battery if the AC is plugged

    Hello world

    I need help in solving this problem with my laptop. I have Toshiba Satellite M35X - S329 laptop. I am having some problems with the battery. It's here.

    (1) battery discharges even power, the supply current is connected to the laptop. This causes the laptop to close after 2/3 hours when the battery discharge completely. He even begins to give alarm messages as soon as the battery power drops below 10% (this corresponds to the current setting).
    If the power supply is connected the battery should not unload the power and the laptop shouldn't off after 3 hours (as the AC power is connected).
    If the laptop is off battery is recharged with the same AC power.

    I am not able to understand where is the problem

    If the problem comes from the power running, then the battery is not recharged with the same power supply and power cord.
    If the battery is the problem then it must be not able to load and unload.
    Why the battery power when the laptop is connected to the power supply current.

    I'm doing something wrong. do I set all the settings or update the BIOS or replace the battery or AC power cards. Please help me.

    Kind regards
    JK.

    Note: when the power supply is connected the headlights before (AC light and the light) shines green and the battery light turns off. When the laptop is turned off when the battery goes to Orange indicating that its loading.

    Hello

    According to your description it s not a bad battery and not an AC adapter because it will charge the battery if the laptop is turned off.
    Well, for me it looks like something wrong with the electronics on the motherboard.
    But that is only my suggestion. To be 100% sure, some diagnostic tests are necessary.
    This is why I would recommend asking the Toshiba service partner in your country for help.

  • Re: Life of the battery of the Satellite A660-141

    How does the satellite A660-141 has a battery 6 cells as many other toshiba models, but has a maximum of 4h15min! How is it?

    More than 4 hours on Satellite A660. It's great!
    I have more Satellite A300 and I can work on battery power max 2.5 hours. It's good enough for this laptop, but a little more time will be better of course.

    What is your experience with Satellite A660? To be honest, I think about exchanging my machine with this new model.

  • Satellite A660-14 days - slow internet wireless

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A660-14 days and if I plug a cable (UTP) the speed of the internet (Firefox, IE, FTP,...) are OK (1,1 MB/s).
    But if I use the wireless (Broadcom adapter) network connection, speed is 0.5 MB/s.

    All software and drivers are up to date. 'Power save mode' of the wireless adapter is set to "maximum performance".
    Firewall and antivirus have been disabled. WiFi signal strength was excellent.
    In addition, I have another laptop (not Toshiba) with the same software configuration (OS - Win 7, Antivirus,...) and it works fine with the same router.

    I wonder if there are known issues with the Broadcom wireless adapter or its drivers.

    Kind regards

    > But Toshiba with its (802.11n) wireless network adapter working so slow (less than half of my old notebook speed). This is not normal. Everything is up-to-date and I also reinstall the NETWORK adapter driver.

    Go to-> WLan card device manager-> properties-> Advanced tab

  • Hibernation drains 20% battery per day - X 301 Windows 7

    I have an X 301 CTO 2777 with the largest battery plant.  SSDS running Windows 7.  All Windows patches up-to-date.  All BIOS and drivers up-to-date.  Reinstalled power management.  When I put the laptop into hibernation it drains the battery at a rate of 20% per day.  The behavior of the machine is the hibernation and not sleep.

    I have a case of open pension without a resolution yet.

    Any ideas?

    Finally heard of level 2.  This person has checked with his boss and came up saying it has been said that it is a problem experienced on the Microsoft side.  Fixed in Vista by KB article 970030 but no solution for Win 7 again.

    Interestingly, I had installed and tested the new power management driver that did not help.

    I had just installed the engine power Manager 3.2 March 2010 but was testing.  It turns out that this driver seems to have solved the problem.

  • Satellite A660 - 10 X sometimes won't start - screen black startup

    Hello

    _sometimes_ my Satellite A660-10 x (PSAW3E) usually start.
    I turn it on, you hear the fan coming, on the screen, you see a blinking cursor on the screen in the top left, it kind of more climbs to left and top over in the corner and stops. Nothing happens, after a while, I turn off the laptop.
    If I do this 3 - 5 times then it starts. Sometimes it starts on the first attempt.

    What I tried:
    Reinstall the PC since the partition of drive with Win7
    Out of HARD drive in my desktop PC and CHKDSC running with analysis and correct errors.
    Cleaning of all the PC of dust, fans etc.
    Pulling out / in battery/AC
    Check the memory (RAM)
    Processor power management change the State of the minimum 5% to 100% CPU

    I understand PC, but this day have no idea what can cause this. The only thing that comes to mind is that the partition at the beginning of the disk contains errors that I can't reach because there a boot partition, partition original installation and the rest which is the only one, I can not reach with CHKDSC.
    I heard someone tried changing battery of motherboard (small round), it can it be?

    It doesn't seem to be the disc or the problem of the LCD screen, or RAM memory.

    > I turn it on, you hear the fan coming, on the screen, you see a blinking cursor on the screen in the top left, it kind of more climbs to left and top over in the corner and stops. Nothing happens, after a while, I turn off the laptop.

    Cursor blinking in the upper left is a well-known landmark and could be related to defective RAM or HARD disk memory problems.

    Verification of memory could be carried out, and in my experience, these controls provide memory about the correct results. But even if verification of memory would not find any problem of RAM, it could still be a nuisance RAM.

    Of course, I can't say with certainty, if his RAM related question or maybe its related to other defective part.
    Fact is that this problem is caused by problems of material and in the worst case that the motherboard needs to be replaced.
