Satellite P100 PSPA3A: Replacement of battery for the RTC

I got an old P100 Satellite System for 3 years. Model # PSPA3A-01R00P.
There is a problem with the clock that he fails to keep time / the correct date.

I contacted my local Toshiba Service Agent inquiring on a replacement RTC battery and was advised that the cost would be $460.00 as it is necessary to replace a complete circuit where the battery is soldered in place.

I guess it's the fault, even if the laptop does not indicate that the battery is defective.
I can't simply afford to spend that kind of money to try to solve the problem.

Any suggestions to remedy the situation.

Hi Tim

The replacement of the motherboard is always a costly affair, and in my opinion, you should consider various possibilities.
In my view, that a mobo of second hand could be an option for you.
I mean you could google or look on eBay for some laptops second hand P100 with a motherboard works.
I think it would be much cheaper than new.

But listen buddy maybe a RTC battery replacement is not necessary. Maybe the CMOS battery is empty and can be recharged.

AFAIK, you can reload the RTC battery runs the laptop for about 18-20 hours.
Connect the laptops battery and adapter to the machine leave it connected for a longer period.

I wonder if it will help regards

    I always the serial number under the laptop. If you think that Toshiba could provide me the version XP MCE? Is there anywhere I could download another version that corresponds to the laptop I have? If this is not the case, everyone don't know if I can still buy this DVD from Toshiba?

    Hello

    No, as far as I know, you can download a picture of Toshiba.
    There is an online platform where you can order a Toshiba Recovery disk but I think your unit is too old.

    However, you can try the site:
    http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    If it is not possible to order the disk, you need to install the Windows system and the single drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  • Satellite P100-434 won't boot to the top

    Hi Ive got a Satellite P100-434 and Ive had for more than a year.

    Unfortunately today I couldn't get started.

    The power led lights up, the HARD drive makes light very briefly.
    The display lights. If she does not even there to boot in the bios.

    Any idea what the problem might be? Im hoping that the CPU or the motherboard is not fried.

    see you soon

    John

    Unless you bought the extended warranty, I don't think you have a lot of luck. My suggestion is to return to the place of purchase, if you still have warranty.

    However, try to remove the battery for 1 minute and then replace the battery again. Try it turn on.

    Also try with the power cable plugged in power and remove the battery.

    If all else fails, then you have a very expensive paper weight.

    Good luck.

  • Good question after Windows update on Satellite P100 PSPA3E

    I encountered a problem with my sound card after a Windows Update. It became an old analog tuner with problems of dust on his volume knob. (this is a reference "sounds like" for those old enough to remember) I updated the driver to the most recent DriverGuide.com, no joy.

    I even did a complete system restore "with the"product restore disk."" Which fixed the problem until Windows updated the right files for trash again. I don't know what files do the dirty on my card since most of the windows system updates are performed while I "continue to work! Anyone with ideas?

    Thank you

    JD

    Hello

    What operating system do you use? XP or Vista?

    Satellite P100 PSPA3E must use a sound chip Intel high definition audio Conexant CX20551-22.

    I recommend to remove the sound card in Device Manager after installing Windows updates.
    Then restart the computer and install the latest audio drivers available that support the sound chip HD Conexant CX20551-22.

    First of all, you should try to use the driver for the Toshiba page. If this does not work, check the Intel page!
    Please don t forget to restart the laptop after windows update finished.

    I have a Satellite C660 - PSC0AQ-03C019 + 1B194392K

    For the last year laptop worked fine in the last 2 months, however he had a problem starting. The first starting attempt of the day, it does not start, it is consumed on gets in front of splash screens after the cursor flashing in the top left then hold with a blank screen (not the cursor just a low glow).

    Hold down the power button / turn off and turn on again then the computer will start. sometimes (not always), it will ask to start normally or repair.

    The laptop works perfectly in use does not fall out of mistakes. Restarting the laptop works as expected close and turn on/off after 5 minutes works great.

    The description of your problem is, for me, quite confusing, and I do not understand your problem.
    Can your notebook load and start the preinstalled operating system or not?

    Enter the BIOS and set it to default settings. After that restart your laptop and to describe what is happening exactly.

    This battery has been replaced by another with a similar number of the part?

  • Replacement of battery for Satellite L650-116

    Hi all

    My battery Satellite L650-116 is out of use.
    I need to replace it with a new one.
    Anyone know if I can replace it with a 8800mAh instead of the original one which is 4400mAh (same voltage)?
    All L650 series uses the same type of battery? or each model is different?

    Thank you for the kind responses

    For this model of laptop, you can only use 6cell battery.
    I can't imagine that you can not order original battery. Use the reference number of the battery and check if you can find an online store where you can order. You can also contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can order it for you.

    By the way: you can check if you can order batteries follow
    PA3787U-1BRS
    PA3817U-1BRS
    PA3818U-1BRS

  • Satellite P100-188: tips on battery charges

    I just bought a Satellite P100-188 and this is my first laptop, it says in the manual "once the battery is fully charged, it is recommended that you use the computer only on battery power until the battery completely discharges.» This prolongs the life of the battery and helps to ensure accurate monitoring of the battery capacity"and"leave the AC adapter plugged in will shorten battery life. At least once a week, power the computer on battery power until the battery is completely discharged and then recharge the battery."

    I was wondering if I should unplug it sector whenever that appears the battery charged? I only need to use the PC on batteries for short periods of time (most of the time I can connect to a power outlet) it would completely remove the battery and running on current alternative alone (even do that?)

    in these moments, I know that the batteries have a finite charge time and I am just a little worried about the procedure to follow if there is place for long battery life, because they can be quite expensive to replace. So it is wise to place the battery on charge when it displays as power by half or a quarter, or should I let it drain completely before recharging?

    I would appreciate some advice from all you seasoned users of laptops out there.

    Hello

    You should treat a battery as if it was in the manual.
    Completely load, use it until it is empty, then charge again.

    Only connect the laptop to power if necessary (means that the battery is empty).

    Good bye

  • Satellite P100-160 BT icon appears in the Control Panel, but no BT

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not.

    * Reasons I thought that I had BT: *.
    I thought originally I had, because in 'Control Panel', it has a Bluetooth icon, which when I press on it opens the "Bluetooth devices". I also use WiFi I thought a sign that BT has been installed and working. I also notice that in Services' there is that something called 'Toshiba Bluetooth Service' running.

    * Reasons I think that now I don't have BT: *.
    However, when I press Control Panel > Bluetooth devices > Bluetooth settings, nothing happens. It's as if the button is dead. And when I try to 'Add a BT device', he finds not all devices. In addition, there is no BT listed in Device Manager.

    .....

    Overall, I am very confused! I bought yesterday wireless speakers after seeing the BT icon in Control Panel (I had read that if this icon was there, I got BT), but having struggled for hours trying to get BT to work yesterday, I came to the conclusion that I don't have BT at all!

    Could someone explain what it means the Bluetooth icon in the control panel? Why is there if I don't have BT? Or, the icon means I have BT but am doing something wrong?

    Thanks in advance! Very frustrated!

    David.

    > Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not

    Satellite P100-160 was NOT equipped with Bluetooth module.
    But maybe the battery BT software has been installed and is why the BT icon is visible in the control panel.

  • Satellite M35X-S329: discharge of battery if the AC is plugged

    Hello world

    I need help in solving this problem with my laptop. I have Toshiba Satellite M35X - S329 laptop. I am having some problems with the battery. It's here.

    (1) battery discharges even power, the supply current is connected to the laptop. This causes the laptop to close after 2/3 hours when the battery discharge completely. He even begins to give alarm messages as soon as the battery power drops below 10% (this corresponds to the current setting).
    If the power supply is connected the battery should not unload the power and the laptop shouldn't off after 3 hours (as the AC power is connected).
    If the laptop is off battery is recharged with the same AC power.

    I am not able to understand where is the problem

    If the problem comes from the power running, then the battery is not recharged with the same power supply and power cord.
    If the battery is the problem then it must be not able to load and unload.
    Why the battery power when the laptop is connected to the power supply current.

    I'm doing something wrong. do I set all the settings or update the BIOS or replace the battery or AC power cards. Please help me.

    Kind regards
    JK.

    Note: when the power supply is connected the headlights before (AC light and the light) shines green and the battery light turns off. When the laptop is turned off when the battery goes to Orange indicating that its loading.

    Hello

    According to your description it s not a bad battery and not an AC adapter because it will charge the battery if the laptop is turned off.
    Well, for me it looks like something wrong with the electronics on the motherboard.
    But that is only my suggestion. To be 100% sure, some diagnostic tests are necessary.
    This is why I would recommend asking the Toshiba service partner in your country for help.
