Satellite L500 - 1 7 battery problem

Hi all

I recently bought a new laptop, the Satellite L500 - 1 7. It works well except that I have a question: I am aware of the fact, that the battery lasts about 2-2, 5 hours. But is it normal to make the computer stop when the sign of the battery watch 22% (happens after about 2.25 hours)? Then, as soon as I put in the power cable, the battery sign indicates suddenly 5%.
Is - this usual or something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

At first, I must say that 2.5 hours working time on battery power is really great and it is the same with my Satellite A300.

To be honest, the whole story is a bit strange to me. Usually before the laptop shuts you should hear and see battery alarm when the critical power level is reached.
Please try to change these settings in the advanced power settings and watch what is happening exactly. Set it to 10 or 15% and also the settings what should happen when the critical threshold is reached (Standby/Hibernate / OFF switching).

If the critical level is 5%, I can't imagine the laptop turns off 22% without this battery alarm message.
How do you know that's going to happen on 22% when the laptop turns off suddenly?

  • Satellite A300D-11 q battery problem

    Hello!

    I was on the point of start almost the same topic, when I saw there was very similar question several hours - [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=61884&tstart=0]. Yet, I decided to share my problem.

    I have the Satellite A300D-11 q PA3534U-1BRS 4000 mAh battery and 10.8 V.
    The difference in my case is that I bought a new battery, PA3533U-1BRS, 7200 mAh, 10.8V, but a third-party manufacturer.
    Before that, I was told by the official service of Toshiba PA3533U-1BRS is compatible with my computer. Of course, this trusted third party (Brainydeal, a U.S.-based company., but the battery is made in China, by AGPTEK). It was pretty tempting as the price was half that quoted by Toshiba for a 6000 one mAh. And there were 16/16 sides of 5 stars on Amazon for the same battery.

    So, the problem. I had very similar flashing red LED, but nevertheless the battery could be charged and was able to power the laptop for about 2 hours. However, the computer could not get information nor on the level of load (and therefore couldn't not to assess what is the period of hibernation, so was suddenly stopped), voltage, or manufacturer.

    And the model seems to be PA3593U-1BRS depending on the software (Lavalys Everest and also BatteryMon).
    I've had a few matches clumsy with Brainydeal where they assured me that the battery is high quality and all going well, 3593 is compatible with my laptop model.

    Finally, I returned it to the manufacturer for replacement, and yesterday, I received a new. However, the same is happening again.
    Exactly the same thing.

    Before writing back to the manufacturer, I decided to check here for review.
    May be the battery Electronics is a failure?
    Or could it be somehow related to the fact that the computer is purchased the battery - of the USA and Europe? Or I just had very bad luck?

    Just one question: the old battery is working correctly?
    I mean do a blink led using the old battery or only the new battery?

    I read in some discussions that last BIOS should be used for series Satellite A300 to solve some problems of battery.

    Please check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS!

  • Satellite L500 - 20 X - screen problems

    Hello

    first of all, I would like to apologize for the case that I couldn't be very good to use this forum. I'm new and have never used any before support forum. And English is not my mother tongue.

    I use a Toshiba Satellite L500 - 20 X. For some time, the performance of the screen got worse. All started with interference bands who were there for a second or two and then vanished again. Now, I have to put the screen at an angle to get a decent picture, at all. If I didn't, there is interference stripes all the time.

    What I have gathered, it seems that the display cable is most likely the cause. So I have two questions: do you not think? And, if so, how do I know which cable I need to replace the (possibly) broken?

    Thanks so far!
    Vargskinn

    So I have two questions: do you not think? And, if so, how do I know which cable I need to replace the (possibly) broken?

    As I know there is only one flat cable which is connected to the screen, as well as the motherboard.
    But I can't say for sure that the cable is the troublemaker... it could be the cable problem, but that's just an assumption...
    In any case, I think that the laptop must be disassembled in order to know if it's really a problem of cable and a disassembly of the laptop can be very difficult if you have no instructions detailed step by step.

  • Satellite L500-1XU - FN keys problems

    Hello!

    Since I bought my laptop (Satellite L500-1XU), I have a problem with my keyboard I can't understand.
    It happens that without + Toshiba added economic package for Win7-32 bit + ([this version | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/download.jsp?ct=DL&soid=2485090&ref=EV]) some work of combinations of FN (such as the ESC, F1, F3, F5, F6, F7) but the rest of them do not work.

    So, I install PVAT and now none of them work. If I click on any flash card it makes his work, but the key to refuse commands to work.

    My guess is that the PVAT version I use is incompatible with my laptop model: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/9746/satellitel500.jpg
    But I can't find the right version. So I ask for your help.

    If you have any ideas please press on answer.

    Thank you for advice!

    Hello

    Your laptop belongs to the series of Satellite L500 PSLJFE.
    Go to the page of European Toshiba driver and download the VAP and card utility for Satellite L500 PSLJFE flashing support.

    This should help!

    Otherwise you have some registry problems and in this case, you must clean the registry with CCleaner for example
    This free tool cleans the BONES once you should install VAP and Flash cards again.

  • Satellite L500 - keyboard arrows using problems creates letters and numbers

    New laptop, Windows 7, 4 GB RAM, etc.

    Just restored to the State of factory again, but nothing helped.

    Whenever I have use arrows etc., makes the letters and numbers coming up, not on every key shot but on say every second. The pad also tends to spit out the wrong numbers so intermittently, in word, excellent and other programs. The correct keyboard is selected. The arrow towards the low tends to do the to come as the right arrow brought a up arrow to the left is and the up arrow seems ok.

    I'm stumped, any ideas?
    Thank you

    Hi whatnani,

    If you have already restored the laptop back to factory settings and checked the correct keyboard layout the case is clear, your keyboard is faulty and should be replaced by a new one.

    Satellite L500 is a fairly new model, so it must be covered by the warranty. Simply contact an authorized service provider and ask that:

    Good luck! :)

  • On the new Satellite C50-A-19U battery problem

    Hello

    A few days ago I bought a new notebook Satellite C50-A-19U.

    Everything works without problems, except when I unplug the power cable, the battery level goes from 100% to 50% both.

    If I try to charge the phone, battery load normally up to 50% and then spend 50% to 100%.

    Anyone facing this problem?

    I don't really know what may be the problem here. Try to use the battery until it will be completely empty and let it be fully charged again.

    Please watch carefully if the same happens again and send feedback.

  • Satellite A100-225 - charging battery problem

    Hi people,

    My Satellite A100-225 can't hold the charge when running. If I use processor heavy applications, the battery will drain in about half an hour and recharge only when the cover is closed (standby mode) or the laptop is turned off.

    When the exhausted battery and the laptop turns off, I have to remove the battery, press the on/off switch, replace the battery, then let it charge for a while before I can use it again.

    The laptop will power any if I remove the battery and the runoff of current alternative.

    I tried a spare battery, but exactly the same thing happens.
    I also updated the Bios with the latest version (6).
    Laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition.
    Laptop is out of warranty.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    See you soon
    Steve

    Looks like a hardware problem. I mean, if your battery runs out when the machine is connected to the pit of the wall adapter (this is what I did not understand), so something in the subsystem of your laptop power goes down.

    Have you ever sent the machine to a partner of service authorized or is the machine still under warranty?

  • On the new Satellite C50-A-14W battery problem

    A few days ago, I bought Toshiba Satellite c - 50 a - 14w. The accumulator is recharged normally (at 100%), but when I plug the computer in the farm shows that 72% charged.

    This means that the battery is broken?

    Hello

    New battery needs to be calibrated in case to reach full performance.

    To calibrate the battery, you must charge the battery until the battery indicator turn green (or blue). Then disconnect the power adapter and keep the battery discharge until it is completely empty.
    This procedure should be repeated two, three times in the line.

    If the battery charge status would not be changed, even if the battery has been calibrated, you should get in touch with Toshiba authorized service provider to check or replace the battery.

  • Satellite L500 19 X battery discharge when not in service

    My new and practically unsused portable is its battery at the rate of 10% in 48 hours when it is turned off and not in hibernation mode. To remove the battery is losing 2% within 48 hours.

    I fully charged the battery to 100% and closed while still in charge.

    There is no doubt in my mind that the battery is discharging when mounted and only lose a small amount of charge when removed from the laptop.

    All users have the same problem. The result is that, in a week, the battery will discharge some 35%, what I find unacceptable.

    Hello

    I think that's not bad boyfriend
    The battery will always be s discharge a little even if the laptop is not running.

    Take a look in the user manual.
    I did and found this:

    When you turn off your computer with fully charged batteries, the batteries keep following approximate data periods;

    Battery pack 12; 2 days ("sleep mode"); 20 days (shutdown mode)
    Battery pack 6. 1 day ("sleep mode"); 10 days (off mode)
    Battery pack 3. 0.5 days ("sleep mode"); 5 days (off mode)

    Always check the software suite / settings of the bios in order to decrease the discharge of the battery:
    -sleep / recovery mode hibernation etc. will reduce the time that the battery is drained considerably
    -always check the weather Wake-On-Lan or Wake on HDMI is enabled
    -always check the weather USB sleep & charge is activated

  • On Satellite L50-B-1NL battery problem

    Community salvation.

    I bought this model of laptop in August and noticed problems with the battery.

    Recently, the laptop will stop when the operating system said that it was still more than a year and a half hours of charge left. I have recalibrated the battery and it was working fine after that, until about 10 days later when he repeated the same behavior.

    I checked the preinstalled Toshiba Health Monitor, which reports the battery has no problem, I was wondering if anyone here has experienced this problem on this page or a similar model?

    I am currently using the 'eco' power setting which is the default value for this computer and the operating system is Windows 8.1.

    Are there known issues with the recent Windows operating system who had misconstrued the battery that I may know?

    All the tips are greatly appreciated.

    Windows system does not affect the performance of the battery, but Windows system provides some battery settings in the Windows power options.

    In Control Panel-> settings-> advanced options power options power station, you will find the settings in the farm.
    Here, you can configure when the laptop should power off.

    But to be honest I don't know if all the settings would be responsible for your problem of battery power m.

    It looks that the laptop does not report the level of battery power so I recommend to calibrate the battery once more, if the problem would still appear, you need to replace the battery.

    I just got a new battery for my laptop and tried to charge it, but in vain. When I plug it in, he acknowledges he did pay, but then forgets his load, or plugged.

    I have to do this know, the new battery isn't OEM so it could be the problem, I try my mother he's in Toshiba, then report.

    Hello

    > the new battery isn't OEM so that could be the problem
    Yes, this could be the problem if it s a 3rd party battery. Only Toshiba spare parts are pre-tested and designed for Toshiba laptops.

    In your case I contact an authorized service provider and ask for a new and original Toshiba battery. Guys can order all spare parts Toshiba.

    There is no battery driver do you mean. It of a part of Windows, and you don t need to change anything on this subject.

    So please check again in Device Manager. What devices tell you exactly? Have you already checked the vendor and device ID?

    Maybe you should try to remove both entries and reboot the laptop. After that, the drivers should be installed automatically.
