• Tecra A8 - 103 - battery flat after only 14 months

  After just 14 months on my Tecra battery appears to be dead. I said 'just' because of, I got Toshiba Satellite and after 2 years of daily work, on Satellite battery lasted longer than on Tecra Tecra,!
  Seems to be more geared towards professionals then Satellite Tecra? Hmmm

  In any case, I really tried to keep the battery in good shape, that is why, at least once a week, I plugged the power cord off and Tecra to run on battery, just to let the battery, at least once a week completely empty left and then recharged.

  But he was evidently just wasting time, because of, the battery now lasts 7-8 minutes!

  The question is: what is the time 6/12/xx months? Toshiba ensures the battery will last as it should when the computer is new?

  I mean, this isn't a problem, I'll buy the new battery, but I'm really disappointed by this situation. I wasn't expecting Toshiba!

  Hello

  As far as I know EACH laptop manufacturing offers only _one year warranty for the battery packs_.
  Why? Because it s nothing unusual that the battery would start to lose own performance after a period of use.

  AFAIK after over 500 times of loading/unloading procedures, the battery will begin to lose performance.
  This means reduces the battery life and someday you need to replace.

  My computer laptop doesn t work on battery power. The power of the battery takes about 2 min same it s fully charged. I know that I should replace, but I use this laptop as desktop Pc. It s always plugged in.

• Satellite L670 - hard drive dead after only 8 months

  Hello

  This morning I return my laptop due to defective hard drive problem. After 8 months, he is already dead.

  The positives are: I'm still under warranty and the second the software toshiba hilighted me from time to time, allowing me to back up my data before the crash. TKS Toshiba for this very useful tool.

  The question is: how a hard drive die that fast after fews month only?

  Bad luck or bad use? I wonder.

  I wish to have feedback from those L670 who owns the same model (windows 7), to understand if this problem is common or if I was unfortunately concerned.

  Also, if there are possible solutions to avoid the stress of the HD for daily use? As for example, reduce writing on this subject (save blu - ray using AnyDvD HD on hd, then cut & paste for external hard drive), or connect too often external hard drive in order to avoid the extra electricity if necessary?

  In the future, I have to perform chkdsk more often? Defrag? If Yes, how often?

  This is my 3rd phone dying, Sony VAIO = mothercard dead after 1.2 years, Fujitsu Amilo xi = exploded after 3 years and now Toshiba HD after 8 months.

  900EUR up to 1600EUR, I do not see significant resistance of one of these models, Sony was the badest ever in terms of longevity of the video card and compatibility (unplayable games after 2 months, no update of the driver), keyboard 'paint' was a mess with deterioration after fews month compared to Fujitsu and Toshiba (no points). Toshiba L670 most recent, was the best in terms of game compatibility.

  What should do? Stop buying the laptop or use only fews hours a day with a PC on top?
  For time beeing I can't afford to have a PC + a computer laptop that I'm unemployed, surviving with 10EUR per day.
  time to find a new job.

  Despite this, I managed to buy the new book of the cooler Zelman for my Toshiba 40/50EUR all about, but it did not help apparently.

  TKS for your comments about life duration L670 and particularly problem HD + best use to protect it.

  Guillaume

  In my opinion the answer is clear: no chance.

  In any case, don t think too much on the use of the laptop. Cell phone is designed to operate for a long period, then there is no reason to reduce the time to use on your Toshi.
  I use my laptop to work on a daily basis and it works at least 10 hours a day, sometimes one night too many.
  Just be careful that your laptop is placed on the desktop, the cooling fans must not be blocked by what it is.
  All that s.

• Satellite C855-1GQ: battery not: the adapter is connected

  Hello

  This is my first post here, I hope that someone can help me!
  I have a Toshiba Satellite C855 portable 1GQ.

  So, basically, I managed to break the end of the original charger (the part that plugs into the laptop) and stupidly tried a charger of similar connection to another device that has a yield lower than the Toshiba

  However when I plugged it it killed inside the laptop as well as the adapter battery (it was an old anyway). I have a new battery and a new charger adapter, but the battery won't charge.

  When I put the battery it worked fine for the laptop itself is not broken, the laptop says it's connected and charge but it loses all power until the battery is flat.

  The new charger adapter doesn't seem to work despite the fact that he tells me that it is with a pile of work. The specifications for the new card are the same as the original (I got a cheapish of ebay).

  Is there a fuse inside the laptop to be replaced when I foolishly used the adapter that I should not have? I have read many possible solutions on it but none seems to be specific to my problem. Perhaps the new adapter is not good enough?

  As I said, the new battery worked fine until it ran out of power, so the charger or something on the cell load.
  Any help would be appreciated!

  See you soon,.

  > Is there a fuse inside the laptop to be replaced when I foolishly used the adapter that I should not have?

  The use of false and not compatible adapter may damage the laptop's hardware (motherboard could be affected)
  Very important is the fact that the original AC adapter supports the 19V (v) output voltage and
  Output current 3. 42 a (Ampere).

  Use of the power adapter with different output voltage (not 19V) would affect the material.
  The use of the AC adapter with 19V voltage output, but different ampere value should not affect the material.

  But where the power adapter is compatible, I would test battery certainly another, new, fully compatible.

• Is it possible to remove photoshop after only one month?

  Hello

  I need photoshop for a project of the UK but only for a week or two. Is it possible to cancel my account after the first month without having to pay for the entire year?

  Thanks in advance,

  Harriet

  If you are on a monthly plan, you can cancel without penalty. If you are on an annual plan, then there may be a penalty for early termination. Please see:

  FAQ: How to cancel my membership creative cloud?

  FAQ: What is the difference between an annual plan and monthly plan?

  FAQ: Where can I find the terms of membership and the terms of use?

  If you cancel within the first 14 days of an annual plan, you will probably get a full refund.

• Second SSD dies after only 13 months

  Hello

  I read the topic of the 'death of SSD on Aspire S7' on this forum.

  Having posted the following comments on it I thought that I would do better to start a new and share my progress with you.

  ----

  I read with interest the previous comments on the early failure rate, but what are the chances to get a reliable drive before the warranty runs out?

  I had the SSD on my M5 fail after about 7 months. Acer it replaced under warranty, but it has just failed again one month out of warranty. So 2 doesn't have a SSD in 13 months. Tech support said there is nothing they can do, but take care to have a replacement mounted. This doesn't seem fair to me. Not all happy.

  I'm waiting now dept UK_Escalations get back to me.

  --------

  Sent the complaint to the UK_Escalations 29/09/13 23:17 UK

  Receipt notification, 30/09/13 12.09 UK, the complaint received by them and an officer will be assigned to me shortly.

  10/01/14 16:50 UK.  I'm still waiting to hear from the officer.

• Satellite L30 - 14F - battery low CMOS and delivers after BIOS update

  For 1.5 years, I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 - 14F PSL4CE.
  I encounter the error of CMOS LOW battery but I was unable to find to replace. Where he is?

  Second problem: after a BIOS update (version of the site) with the same setting in Windows XP, after I left the lid downwards and then save the workbook hesitates for about 2 seconds and the music stops. These problems were not present before the BIOS update.

  Thank you for the cooperation.

  Hello

  The BIOS battery can be replaced by only authorized service. to do this the laptop everything must be dismantled. By the way: see s operating manuals. You will find info how to load the BIOS battery.
  If I remember correctly the laptop must be connected to the adapter sector more than 48 hours. Check in the manuals.

  Maybe is my bad English, but I do not understand second problem.
  Can you please try to explain it again? I'm sorry.

• Satellite L755-11J battery low charge question

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L755-11J for nearly three years.

  It is now stated the battery down and to replace.

  What is the average time that the battery lasts? Understand that they take some time, but seems a little earlier.

  Looking for a replacement online through Toshiba but can't seem to see it.

  Thank you.

  > What is the average time that the battery lasts?
  To my knowledge, the common battery would have started loos performance around after 500 cycles of carbonization.

  However, to keep the battery performance the longer possible, you need to calibrate the battery from time to time. The battery should be completely discharged and then recharged until the battery indicator should appear green (or blue).
  This process must be repeated 2.3 times in the line.

• Satellite P10 shuts down unexpectedly after only 4/5 minutes to be turned on

  Hey, I have a problem with my Satellite P10 2.5 years.
  The problem is it turns off unexpectedly after 4/5 minutes being powered on.

  After he fires it on again for about 7 to 10 HOURS, even with the power drive inside displays the 4 lights on the front, but it will not even power the start-up routine.

  I tried different combinations of power/battery and I still get the same problem.
  I'm sure that it is overheating and then take hours to enhance down.

  Your opinion on this would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance...

  Ben

  Hi Ben,

  Certainly, it sounds like an overheating issue from your description, although I expect to recover much faster than 7 to 10 hours. You can try the technique of aspiration of dust on the grids of aspiration air to see if it improves the situation. Also check that the fans are working properly and that there is sufficient space around the appliance when it is in use.

  Kind regards

• I think that my rocket died after only two months

  Hi, I do not get my rocket to show me the signs of life and more.

  Two days ago, I forgot to turn off so the battery was as empty as it can get. I fully charged it yesterday, but when I used my rocket for half an hour some time ago, he went himself after an end of the song. I couldn't get it working again and it does not even react now that I plugged on may PC (the USB Ports at the back!).

  Y at - it something left, I could try to revive?

  Sounds like it's just frozen.  Keep the switch ON for 10-15 seconds, release and new power.  It is the function of soft reset .

• Satellite C855 - low RTC battery

  Bought a brand new Satellite C855 7 months, now get a RTC battery low warning, every time I start, have to reset the date and time. The laptop battery says fully charged, but if I unplug the portable charger will turn off.

  > The laptop battery says fully charged, but if I unplug the portable charger will turn off.

  This means that the main battery is empty and is probably damaged.
  Empty main battery would affect the RTC battery too. So I think that you need to replace the main battery first and then the RTC battery for a longer period of time while the mobile computer is turned on.

  The laptop seems to be covered by the warranty (if its 7 months) so the battery must be replaced in warranty conditions.

• Satellite C855 - white screen after BIOS update

  Hello

  I am a beginner user,
  I have Satellite C855
  Yesterday, I downloaded a 'update BIOS"that was sent to my computer.
  Since that my screen is blank, there is a hum in the background.

  I have a recovery back up on my external hard drive, but of course, the screen is blank so I don't know how the product.

  I think I must have downloaded a model or the update was not compatible.

  Hello

  White screen do you mean that nothing appears on the screen?
  You see the start screen of Toshiba, or if you are able to access the BIOS?

  Where this is not possible, try this:
  Disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery.
  Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds.
  Then connect the two parts (batteries and AC adapter) for the laptop and try to turn on the unit.

  In case this would not solve the problem of the laptop, I'm scared of m the BIOS update was not completed successfully and I think that only authorized Toshiba service provider would be able to help you.

• Satellite C50-B-19V - RTC battery low

  Hi all

  I ask your help.

  I have 15-inch Toshiba Satellite C50-B-19V laptop.
  It is 2 years old.

  I get RTC battery low message the laptop turned OFF for awhile (without adapter).
  When I turn it on, I have to re - set the Date and time in the BIOS.

  So I fully recharge via an adapter, and every time I put it to sleep the clock stops just when I put on standby.
  So if I put for example standby at 10:00 on March 2, 2016, and I turn it on at 12:00 on March 2, 2016, the clock says 10:00 and March 2, 2016 (the date is not lost).

  Laptop works well when on battery (without adapter).
  I have WIN 8 is installed.

  RTC battery low message is displayed after the laptop is off (no adapter) for a while... (a few days).

  Above mentioned laptop is NOT a pile of separate clock when back cover is removed (no battery is visible on the motherboard)...

  What to do in this case?

  Waiting for your response.
  Thank you very much!
  Ivan

  I would say that the RTC is low and that maybe it's the other side of the motherboard. Find and download the manual for your machine. All PCs have batteries for the CCF and to keep some of the BIOS settings. If it is not under an agreement of service of any kind, take it to a technician, you trust and let check. Otherwise repair by the company with which you have permission. The battery will be there somewhere. They can be painted, I saw that with some motherboards desktop.

• Satellite C580 - plugged says a "Full load", unplugged it indicates "battery low 4%."

  My laptop is plugged (Satellite C580-1 kN) it says "completely charged 100%", but when unplugged, it indicates "battery low 4%."

  Does anyone know what is the problem?
  Thank you!

  How old is your battery?

  It is possible that the battery is not working properly...
  You must know that sooner or later any battery will lose their effectiveness.

  So even if the battery charge notification says battery is fully charged, the charge level may be very low...
  In this case only the replacement of the battery could help you.
