Satellite C50D - PC Health Monitor shows the low battery

I bought a C50D a few days ago and noticed that when I ran the PC Health Monitor he showed the wear of the battery as poor. I tried a few full charge/discharge cycles and it does not seem to have improved the situation.

Is this something that is likely to correct itself in the next a few charge cycles or could I have a duff battery - the health monitor is not too well to evaluate the battery charge.

Ian

New batteries must be charged and discharged several times in line to achieve the best performance.

I'm not quite sure how many times you have to repeat this procedure but I recommend you monitor the battery working time m.

Of course, battery working time depends on the use of the laptop, but you should be able to see the improvement.

  • Satellite L850 - 1 FG: PC Health Monitor shows the bad battery

    Greetings,

    Already after a little more than two months after the purchase of this laptop, the TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor indicates that the health of my battery is 'poor' (about 1/4 health left!) and I wonder what possibilities there are that this is a hardware fault, and if I can get a spare battery and where.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    I m not sure if its really a battery problem or failure.
    Maybe the battery needs to be calibrated several times in the line

    If the battery charge level is low, turn off all first battery should be completely discharged the automatic stand-by and the focus mode into hibernation.
    The battery must be completely empty. Then plug the AC adapter and charge it until the battery indicator would turn blue (or green).
    Then, unplug the AC adapter and start the discharge process
    Repeat this 3, 4 times and then check the health of the battery again.

  • Satellite A660-17 t - PC Health Monitor shows the problem with the battery

    I have an A660-17 t I've had since November 2010, I used a good amount, but not always on the battery, I believe that the battery has between 10 and 20 on this charge/discharge cycles.

    I have updated the BIOS to v1.80 when I got the laptop, everything seemed to go well. Recently, in the last 2-3 weeks health monitoring software reports that the battery is in poor health, showing that the capacity is reduced to 40% of the original capacity. I do not believe this like when I work on battery I get several hours of use.

    I have today updated BIOS v1.90, although there is no changelog that I can find, he says just "enhanced features" or similar.

    Is this really a faulty battery, or it is somehow that the software correctly reads the value of the capacity of the battery due to a change in Windows or another change in the system? I don't see how a battery can work for the same amount of time it has always done and actually have a fault.

    Any thoughts? Should I return it to the retailer and report an outage, or is it worth the wait to see if a future update of operating system or driver solves this problem?

    Thoughts welcome!

    Hey,.

    > I do not think this as when I work on battery I get several hours of use.
    This means that you have the same time remaining on battery as before you saw the error of the integrity PC monitor?

    In this case, it seems that the battery is ok and it's maybe s simply the wrong tool of Toshiba information. Then I recommend to reinstall PC Health Monitor, which you can download from the official website of Toshiba:

  • Satellite L40-139 - possible to disable the low battery alarm?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L40-139 it comes with Windows Vista running. I think the battery is now a little age, because it does not load when the computer is plugged in - although the computer itself is capable of functioning when it is plugged in, which is how I use it.

    Battery sank to about 10%. For this reason, the computer will sound low-battery-warning beep every fifteen seconds or more. This seems to come from the computer itself and not the operating system, it sounds different from low battery alerts in Control Panel > sounds.

    I would like to disable this beep - it is not to tell me anything I don't already know. Until now, the only way to achieve this, I have found is by inhibition of the laptop altogether. But is not ideal, because it means that I can't use any other sound feature on the computer.

    I tried, without success, changing the settings in the control panel > power settings, including lower low and critical battery levels and fix warnings for low battery to "off".

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Please check the BIOS settings.
    To access the BIOS F2 press Mobile start upward.
    There should be an option called something like low battery alarm
    Remember to save the changes before exiting the BIOS.

    Batteries are no longer available on the Apple online store but can be at your nearest Apple Retail Store, you must check with your store. A better option is probably buy one yourself and replace it. Buy a quality like this http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple_laptop/batteries/MacBook_13_Unibody battery

  • The response of the mouse becomes slow and I get the low battery warning

    Original title: Use the Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 model 1014.  Recently, I had replace the batteries in the mouse at least once a week.  Is there a solution?

    The response of the mouse becomes slow and I get the low battery warning.  Until this started happening batteries have been change less than a month.

    Hello

    1. What is the brand of mouse and the model?

    2 have you ever done any recent software or changes to the hardware to the computer?

    If you use the Microsoft mouse, I suggest you follow these methods:

    Troubleshoot a wireless mouse that does not correctly:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/321122

    Troubleshoot the incidents of the response to the mouse or wireless keyboard:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/838398

    Use the following tips to get more life on the batteries in the keyboard and mouse:

    a. use the mouse on a surface of clear color. With the help of the mouse above a black surface can deplete the battery at a faster pace.

    b. do not use the mouse on a glass surface.

    c. when replacing the batteries, use alkaline batteries. Other types, may not last as long.

    d. when wireless devices are not in use, store them near the computer.

    I hope this helps!

  • Satellite L510 - PC Health Monitor - could not get the Type of Bios

    Hi guys,.

    I m appeal for some help and hope that some of you experts out there may be able to help me!

    My laptop is a Satellite L510 bought November 2009
    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit
    The version of the BIOS/Date: INSYDE, 1.30, 08/05/2009

    Problems:
    1 ReelTime (worm: 1.0.04.0) TC00210100H stopped working about 6 months ago, so I uninstalled it.
    2 PC Health Monitor (worm: 1.4.0.0) TC00148300O

    Value Added Package: Worm: 1.2.25 (TC00214700E)

    For a couple of weeks stop would take a little longer than before and last weekend he just stopped even if the battery is fully charged.

    I had a bit of a job to resume but I finally did, I came to the conclusion even if the hard drive was not.

    I then tried to open the PC Health Monitor, but this error appeared impossible to get the type of bios and obviously wouldn t open. I uninstalled PCHM programs and features and then ran TC00148300O.exe of
    C:/Program Files / Toshiba / TOSAPINS / COMPS1 / TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor - 1.4.0.0, it seemed something was going on but ultimately nothing has.

    I dropped while I needed to sort first on the hard drive. Long story short, the hard drive has been replaced by a SSD 840 EVO 250 GB by a friend of TI at work.

    I prefer like to get ReelTime and PCHM working again correctly troubleshooting (with your help) that I put t really want to restore back provided that the factory, but if I have to...

    If I have explicit instructions on how to do that would be a big help (if necessary I can also get my friend to help me).

    If I n t give any other specific information that you need please ask. I apologize for this long post, but thanks to anyone who responds.

    Hello

    If you replaced the HARD drive I recommend you to install original recovery image and start using your machine with the factory settings. After that it all will again be OK. Install important Windows updates current, your important software and I think that everything will be OK again.

    Software related questions can sometimes be very complicated. All you can try to do is remove pre-installed application, restart the computer and try to install it again.

    On BIOS I can just say that you shouldn't change anything.

    One last thing: I don t know how important ReelTime and PC Health Monitor are for you, but I removed the two applications on my system. In my opinion there is no much help from both of them, but they CPU utilization for the unnecessary process.

  • Re: Satellite A350 - PC Health Monitor or EcoUtility?

    Hello

    It is or will be like PC Health Monitor application or Toshiba Eco Utility for my laptop Toshiba Satellite A350-13? As an operating system I have Win7 64 bit.

    Thank you.

    Hello!

    Reason for which you want to install utility eco if it s is available for your laptop? I checked the page of download driver Toshiba Eco Utility is available for the A350 PSALWE series and not yours, which is model PSAL6E.

    Anyway, you can install PC Wizard 2009 for example. It shows you information such as temperature, voltages and so far. Test if you will be satisfied by this program and give us feedback! ;)

  • Satellite U940 - download Health Monitor

    Recently, I managed to updated the integrity monitor (which paradoxically the Heath monitor recommended).

    An error indicated there was "an older version installed", and I was advised to remove it all first. I did, doesn't have any path to be automatically informed of pilot and other improvements, including the health monitor.

    It seems that the health monitor has not saved the download file - it is not in the downloads. He recorded other places? He did not me, invites so the location is hardcoded, wherever she is.

    I only do that because a previous update of the bluff Health Monitor driver my touchpad driver.

    OK... you'd think I'd be able to download the new drivers manually, right? Alas not. My part number doesn't seem to be acceptable for the selector of downloads on the selector to THE Toshiba window, and even there is no model of U above U500 in the drop-down list of templates.

    So much trouble here!

    Can anyone suggest how I might have the correct setup file of Health Monitor for my Satellite U940?

    Thank you

    But to see the battery, it's bad!
    Why my battery see the poor?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It is not unusual for new batteries.
    You know that batteries must be calibrated first to achieve the best performance.

    Calibration means that the battery must be fully charged and discharged and then until it s completely empty. This procedure should be repeated several times in the line. After that, you can check the status of the battery provided by new health monitor

    Hello

    It seems really strange to me that the connection this laptop WLAN would affect the other devices that are connected to the home network wireless.

    You use a WLan router common home - which provides a pool of IP addresses which are assigned automatically to each devices?

    The Satellite C50D - A - 13 G was equipped with a card of WLan Atheros 802.11 b/g/n commune (chip WB335) and this module actions WLan and BT connectivity.

    I recommend you to disable Bluetooth while using the WiFi network.
    You can do this by going to charm bar (Win key + C)-> settings-> PC-> PC and devices-> Bluetooth settings
    Here, you can move the cursor ON / OFF
