Satellite C650 - "no battery is detected.

Hi all

(I apologize if this has already been covered, but each problem is different!)

I have a Satellite C650, bought ~ August 2010. Basically, I have a problem with the battery. It is in place, with the power supply AC plugged and recognized. The two LEDs are green display.

When the office, however, the battery icon is empty, with a Red Cross and a symbol of feeder on top. Hovering above, it says "no battery is detected."

The machine seems to work very well and on the normal speed, and there is no other signs to suggest that it is damaged on the screen or on the outside. The only flaw that is a fan that is slow to the "liquidation", but the laptop is not hotter than usual.

What did I try? Switch off, pull out the AC adapter, and then remove and replace the battery. There is no sign of damage to the battery, or around it. The same question "icon" remains.

I'm a student, so it is quite essential. In addition, with the AC cord is connected, the unit will continue to operate normally - or die suddenly?

I'm a bit of a technophobe, so nothing too complicated please-, but all suggestions welcome!

Thank you

JW

> Also, with AC, the power cord is connected, the unit will continue to operate normally - or die suddenly?

Not sure if I understand this. The laptop will be and should work fine with the AC adapter connected.

Usually, the battery should charge when the power adapter is connected. If the battery is fully charged, the battery led should go green and recharging must stop.

However, I would recommend updating the BIOS to see if the battery issue is always available

If the BIOS update does not help, replace the battery with another compatible.

  • Satellite C650 problem battery charge.

    Hello

    I have a problem with my charge battery.
    Windows system sees the battery and shows that the power supply is connected, but it also gives the message that the battery is not supported.

    Led indicating that the battery is charging does not illuminate. In order to charge my battery I have to disable notebook, unplugged my power supply, remove the battery and place it again once and after that my battery is being charged.

    My question is what is the problem?
    Would be - this defect battery or motherboard?

    Thanks for your help

    > My question is what is the problem?
    > Could it be the battery or the failure of the motherboard?

    Hard to say. First of all I recommend you check the version of the BIOS.
    Do not forget that your BIOS is up to date.

    But have you noticed this problem since the first day of use?
    Theoretically, the battery must be detected even if the battery is dead so I m wondering why the battery led is not ON. If the battery could be charged, the indicator must light up orange. If the battery is fully charged, the indicator should switch to blue.

    In any case, I think that you cannot run a few test because you don t have important and necessary tools, I think that the new battery should be tested with Notepad and if this would not solve the problem, the motherboard must be tested also.

    I know that spare batteries are not as good, but are there you can recommend which would correspond to this model. How time will it last they? Better yet, anyone can locate a real battery online for me?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    What you can also do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask how much you must pay if they order a new one for you.

    PA3757U - 1BRS
    PA3787U-1BRS

  • Satellite C650 - battery problem

    Hello

    I've got this Toshiba Satellite C650 about a friend who gave me it reinstall Windows7.

    Before you reinstall, I noticed that the laptop has not activate on battery. When I pluged the charger he started and it started once ran on battery without any problem. Also, when it is turned on and that the charger is removed the battery icon do not show how much time left and show unknown time remaining in place.

    When I reinstalled Windows does not solve the problem.
    I've updated the BIOS, but still does not solve the problem.
    I started to think that it's a hardware problem.

    The laptop is new - age one month.

    I'll be very grateful if someone could help me or point me to the solution of this problem.
    The laptop is still under warranty, but I decided to ask here first and here are some other opinions.

    Thank you!

    Try this:
    Remove and disconnect the battery and the AC adapter.
    Now let and don t touch the laptop for some time (2-3 hours)
    Then press and hold the power button / stop along 30 sec.

    Now connect the battery and the AC adapter and keep it charge until the battery indicator would turn to green (or blue)
    Then turn on the unit and check how it works.

    PS: its always recommended to calibrate a new battery, that means that the battery should be completely discharged and recharged until 100% was achieved.
    This procedure should be repeated several times in the line

  • Satellite C650 / 01 M noisy fan

    Hi all

    This is my first post and first experience with Toshiba laptops: D.
    So here's the thing, I bought Satellite C650/01 M a few days ago and I noticed that the fan is a bit noisy, it's like a "Bee noise" or "House sound fly" lol, but the temperature of the computer is fine.

    So I'm wondering if this is normal or I have to return it? Any experience with this particular model?
    BTW, here is the link of the laptop:
    [http://dicksmith.com.au/product/XC8927/satellite-c650-01m-notebook]

    Thank you!

    Hey,.

    I Don t Satellite C650, but normally it should be possible to change the method of cooling Windows Power Management. You can change between optimized battery and a maximum Performance.

    I put the battery optimized option and this reduced the activity of the fan and the cell phone was much quieter. :)

  • Toshiba A300 PSAGCE battery not detected

    Hello everyone.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 (PSAGCE) which worked well since I. Recently, he showed "battery not charging". I went to see what I could do and someone advised that I should update the BIOS. So, I went to the website of Toshiba and downloaded the update for my BIOS. I have install without problem. He now has the version 2.20. The problem of "battery not charging" had disappeared.

    I had a new problem: battery not detected!

    The battery worked well and he gave me 2 hours of normal use. Now, it is not "detected". I did everything I could think of. Do you have the BIOS reset (pressing on the WE / OFF button / stop for 30 seconds), I left it with the battery for a few days, etc...

    When I connect the battery, it shows an orange light for 5 seconds and he died later. I don't know what more I can do. I contacted Toshiba in my country without success. They have not yet responded to my email.

    Any ideas? I tried with another charger than computer shows the same.

    I have install as a program of "batterycare.net" and it shows that I have 1.40 hours of battery, but as soon as I remove the cable ca, the computer shuts down without power.

    I guess I won't be needing help... I flashed my BIOS with a lower version that I had (2.20 > 1.80) and now it does not start even upward.

    I'm kidding not things for good.

    Any changes to save it?

  • Temporary solution to load problem with Satellite C650

    I here provide a temporary solution to loading with Satellite C650 problem, which I have faced.

    First of all, I've updated my BIOS. After that, I removed the battery and plugged AC for 2-3 minutes.

    Then replace the battery and it loaded.

    However, the battery got charged up to 99% only and after that the interrupted load and the load remained at 99% and renewed battery indicating "plugged in, not charging."

    Therefore, each time I hv to repeat the procedure above to charge my battery.

    If any1 has the solution to the prob. above, it would be gr8 to hear.

    Thank you very much!

    Thanks for your posting.
    To be honest I really don t know what else you can expect and test it with new battery.

    I think that your laptop model must always have a warranty valid, right?
    If so, contact Toshiba nearest service provider and ask for replacement.

  • Problem with portable Satellite C650 of load

    Hi all

    I have some problems with my laptop Satellite C650 charge.

    When the charger is connected to my laptop, the battery shows "plugged in, not charging". Furthermore, the battery charge decreases or increases when the charger is connected to my laptop.

    But when I remove the charger, the charge on the battery begins to decrease. For now, I have maintained the charge on the battery to 83% (to always plug my charger for laptop) so that I can work on my laptop at all times.

    I can't decide if this is the problem with the external charger or battery inside the laptop.

    Please please suggest me how to solve the problem.

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • Satellite C650 won't turn on / boot (black screen only)

    I am having trouble with my year old Satellite C650. In fact, when I go to turn it on it just won't. The power led on the front of the laptop turns on and the fan starts whirring (only to stop a few seconds later), but there is no change to the screen. I tried to take out the battery, restart, connect, disconnect - basically everything I can think of, but nothing made a difference.

    Can anyone think a possible solution? I really hope this isn't a hardware problem, but I have a horrible feeling that it looks like this...

    Thank you!

    I'm scared of m its hardware problem.
    My advice would not apply to a Toshiba service provider in your country that would check the parts.
    Your laptop doesn't seem to be old so maybe the warranty is still valid and the fix could be done free of charge.
