Satellite C battery only if it is fully discharged

I'm fighting with my battery charging!

It will load only when the laptop it has completely discharged.
The laptop shows that it is plugged into the charger but not charging.

The battery last for a good time when the power is off.
The small LED on the fact follow-up before the actual use of the charger!

Any ideas on what is happening.
All of only a little over 12 months of age

Can I ask you first what laptop and what system you have exactly?
Despite the fact that most battery problems are hardware related (malfunction of the battery), you should try this workaround:

Go to the Device Manager and remove the compatible control method battery Microsoft ACPI devices list and allow Windows to scan your computer for the hardware and reinstall the drivers necessary to manage the battery power.

Below is a step by step instruction:

1. in Windows 8, hold down the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu at the bottom left, and then select Device Manager. In Windows 7 or Windows Vista, click Start and type device in the search for field, and then select Device Manager.

2 expand the batteries category.

3. under the batteries category, right-click in the list of Microsoft ACPI compatible with battery control method and choose uninstall.
* Note: * Don t remove the Microsoft AC adapter driver or any other compatible ACPI driver.

4. on the taskbar from the Device Manager, click Scan for hardware changes.
You can also select Action > search the hardware changes.

In the case of workaround doesn't change anything, try the new battery.

    What should do?

    Hello!

    What Satellite laptop do you have?

    At the moment, I can t say what the reason is for this. Maybe you should try to update the BIOS that you can find on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite M50 - charges the battery only when stopped

    My Satellite M50 battery only when stopped. Does this mean that when I work I'm still running on batteries, which of course carry out completely after 1 to 2 hours. Then I shut down the computer and it started charging again (orange led), and after a few hours, I still have a 100% charged battery.

    Of course, this means that the computer is not available. Until a few weeks ago it used to have the same problem if I disconnected the power plug then reconnected it: the battery needed to dump then to 0%, even if the power is connected, but now the problem is constant.

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS, I could find and even completely reinstall windows from the recovery disks, but the problem is still there. The computer is a Toshiba Satellite M50 - 126 model PSM51E, the BIOS is Phoenix BIOS v2.10

    Is it possible that the BIOS is damaged of some sort? I tried to reinstall V2.10 but he told me that I have the same version and it will not be installed.

    Hi lartech,.

    You can recharge the battery if you get into the BIOS and made the battery charging icon light?
    Are you using the original Toshiba AC/DC adapter and battery?

    In the worst case, it s a malfunction of the motherboard, and you have done what you can do: BIOS update and to install Windows from the recovery disc. If this doesn't help s a bad hardware work.

  • Satellite P30 seems to completely charge the battery only when the unit is turned off completely

    Hi, I have my Toshiba Satellite p30 and only works on battery. This unit operate on sector or only on the battery as after the period of time go down the warning, then closes. The orange light fades in and out, but seems that it will only fully charge when the unit is turned off completely.

    I only just received this unit so bit of a novice.

    MASH

    Hello

    normally, the battery should always charge until it is full when the power is connected.
    If you have an orange light flashes, it means that something is wrong. Maybe your battery is faulty or something else. This should be checked by a technician.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L500 will not start on battery only

    Hello!

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro L500 and have the following problems.
    My laptop does not start on battery only. The Green led comes on and stays with the laptop in a gel (nothing appears on the screen).
    The only way to get this light off is to remove the battery.

    Starts EVERY time with AC power connected (with or without battery)-normal lights are displayed when connected.
    Works quite normal, once started - with or without power connected

    SOMETIMES starts with the battery only if I boot in a short time after I've used the laptop
    I tried the static release process but does not work. (hold button power supply without battery or power supply connected etc..)

    After having this problem, I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS but nothing helped
    Tried a different battery and did not help
    Is a Toshiba Satellite PRO L500 T4400 4GB 15 "laptop Win7 - only 3 weeks or so old

    Very annoying!
    Please anyone with a solution?

    Hello

    Try this.
    Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter and then wait a while. I would like to leave it disconnected for about 12 hours.
    Together the two parties again, charge the battery and then remove the power adapter.
    Then try to turn on the unit using only the battery.

    If that does not help, then you should get in touch with your ASP as fast as possible since the guarantee is valid and would cover all the checks of the equipment and replacements.

    Hello

    > The battery of my laptop computer only workt for 10 minutes and ofter that my laptop goes to sleep mode.
    > does anyone know how calibrate/solve this problem?

    How long do use your battery? Perhaps, he's already exhausted and you need to replace for the nine.
    Anyway, try this:

    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.
    Connect the computer to the power adapter by ensuring that the connection is closed.
    When the PC is off, let the battery charge complete
    Disconnect the power adapter.
    Remove the battery.
    Wait 30 seconds and reinsert the battery.
    Reconnect the AC adapter.
    Keep the battery fully charged.

  • Satellite P100: Battery LED blinks orange on

    When I turn on my Satellite P100, battery light flashes and the icon shows the power of the battery power, but do not load, then it turns into support for a few seconds.

    When I turn the computer off, but leave it connected to the power source, the rest orange battery light and charges the battery. I tried with two batteries with the same result.

    This is something intermittent that sometimes charges the battery, even when the computer is turned on.
    I find it rather strange.

    All thoughts
    Thank you

    Remove the battery, connect the laptop to AC power only and turn it on. When the operating system is running properly, put the battery on the site and let us know what happen when you do this.

  • Satellite L300 battery problems

    HI - having some problems with my Satellite L300-1BV girls and after some answers and advice please.

    She let the battery drain completely and we now have problems when starting.

    We left the laptop plugged into the power outlet to charge for more than 24 hours - when doing this DC light is green and pale orange battery. Finally, the orange indicator light goes off.

    When it is then lit, while still connected to the hand, it starts fine but after no more than 10 minutes it just died - as a full stop.

    It will then turn back not at all - even plugged in. Remove the battery, put it again and then it turns back on when plugged into sector but lucky if we get a minute before it just dies again.
    If we remove the battery completely and connect to the mains it lights.
    With the battery in, leave for another 24 hours and we go back to the original 10 minutes before he dies again.

    So two questions please

    1 is this sound like the battery needs to be replaced
    2. on this machine, it seems that you can not use it plugged on the sector, but without the inplace battery - is that correct? I know that a lot of laptops will work very happy in this...

    Thank you... Derek

    Hey mate,

    Which is really strange and I doubt that this problem is related to the battery only. In this case, your computer should work properly without battery and plugged in to the AC adapter.

    Theoretically the laptop turn off itself due to a higher internal temperature. This is why I would recommend clean it with compressed air stream. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.

    In addition, ask a maintainer agreed to help. It sounds like a hardware malfunction, and they can check what part needs to be replaced.

  • Tecra A6 does not start with battery only

    Hi all
    I'm having a strange problem with a Tecra A6 I picked up recently at the refurb because it does not start with a battery only: it starts only when / sector is also connected, but eventually DΘmarrer on battery alone (and works fine) with the power cord removed shortly after pressing the power button. It's just on battery alone, I get no answer by pressing the power on button (so the power outlet must be set at this first stage or I don't get anything).

    Now I'm wondering if maybe it's the battery voltage? It seems that there are 2 options for this model, a 10.8 v and the other at 11.1V. With loaded Windows and Hardware Monitor reports running the battery is at 0% wear level and cool until completely (so I don't think that the battery is faulty), but it indicates that the battery is running at * 11, 1V, * but the battery installed is actually the * model 10.8v*. Could that prevent any power on only to batteries?

    More information on the model I have:
    Tecra A6-PTA60E-0EJ013EN
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0 Ghz
    2 GB of Ram.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this one. Essential, I would like to know is if I have a 11.1V battery to run this model correctly (and get it) on battery alone. If the voltage makes no difference so I guess it must be a weird motherboard problem and I need bother not buy a new battery.

    > Will have to buy another battery and see if the same thing happens (I'll know then if it is the motherboard), but in the meantime if anyone can let me know if the voltage is serious I would appreciate it.

    To my knowledge, the batteries for Tecra A6 should take in charge 10.8V
    There's piles more strong for example 5200mAh but the voltage must be the same 10.8

  • C665/012 satellite charging battery light orange rest

    I recently bought a * Toshiba Satellite C665 / 012 * and every time I try to load light _orange will remain just on_ and when I decide to unplug the battery status remains at 99% and not depleat or increase_. _

    What could be wrong with it and the warranty will still cover it should I decide to return

    Hello

    In your case, I recommend to calibrate the battery first.

    You must discharge the battery until the cell stops automatically. Note: save your work before the laptop would be turned off!
    Then let the laptop connected to the power adapter for a longer period of time.
    Usually the LED status should change to green (or blue depending on phone model).
    Then discharge the battery once more. Repeat 3 or 4 times.

    Hope this helps

  • 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 M70: Battery no longer works

    My brand-new satellite M70 battery no longer works. I haven't used the phone for about a week and when I tried to start it (on drums), he did nothing. The battery was still charged (63%) I need to connect the power adapter to make it work.

    During this time the battery LED is still orange. Battery is not charging, the battery remains at 63%. I tried to remove the battery for a while and put it in, but that does not change...

    How can I solve this problem?

    Hello

    Maybe the battery has a malfunction. It would be very interesting to know if this problem occurs after the replacement of the battery.
    According to your assignment the guarantee must be valid, that the battery replacement should be done for free.

  • Satellite L300 - battery not charging but the power is to reach to the motherboard

    Hello

    I gave up the laptop and after that not get battery. Laptop works fine with battery only. I opened the laptop to find if it is something dislodged. But everything was fine. I checked the power comes up to the motherboard. But do not charge the battery.

    For more information, I opened only Panel keyboard and down to reach the power supply cord. I can see the top section of the motherboard page where I checked that power is reached.

    Any body can help?

    Thank you.

    Abir

    > Can any body help?

    I think that the material must be scanned for potential problems.
    I can only speculate on the defective parts
    It could be the power problem or something is broken on the motherboard, but its most of the time impossible to say what's wrong here
    So get in touch with a local Toshiba authorized service guy to check this.

  • X 300 dual battery fully discharged battery error critical

    I kept my Thinkpad X 300 for two weeks and fully discharged batteries. Now when I plug it in, the charging light lights up for about a minute, then turns off again for five minutes. If I press the power button, I see a "critical battery error' BIOS. The two batteries are installed, and both are Lenovo authentic, recently replaced and in good condition. I'm in Chile, where the power is 220 vold, cycle 50, which was not a problem in the past or for my other laptops. Ten minutes before that happened, it worked well.

    I thought about it. The wire just before the power supply was frayed internally and worked intermittently. I got a new CAP welded to the and now all is well again.
