Satellite P210 rund on battery only around 60 min

Hi all

I have a P210 with an AMD Chip. The maximum autonomy, I have is about 60 minutes (with all features enabled in Vista, backlight etc. of energy saving). Is this normal or is my faulty battery?

It was like that again and is not due to wear of the battery.

One has obtained information or experience about it?

Thank you

George

Hello

This certainly isn't a flat battery!

Fact is that the battery life depends on the use of the laptop.
The P210 is a portable high performance which was equipped with a powerful CPU, GPU and big HARD drive.
All of these devices must be able to!

In addition, you should consider that the Vista operating system has been installed on this laptop and this new OS MS lose more energy than older MS operating systems!
Vista is a monster ;)

I also read that Microsoft has resolved this "problem of power" in the new Vista service Pack 1.
At this time, only the beta version is available, but the final version should be published in the coming weeks.

Hope I could specify that a little bit.

Good bye

  • Satellite M50 - charges the battery only when stopped

    My Satellite M50 battery only when stopped. Does this mean that when I work I'm still running on batteries, which of course carry out completely after 1 to 2 hours. Then I shut down the computer and it started charging again (orange led), and after a few hours, I still have a 100% charged battery.

    Of course, this means that the computer is not available. Until a few weeks ago it used to have the same problem if I disconnected the power plug then reconnected it: the battery needed to dump then to 0%, even if the power is connected, but now the problem is constant.

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS, I could find and even completely reinstall windows from the recovery disks, but the problem is still there. The computer is a Toshiba Satellite M50 - 126 model PSM51E, the BIOS is Phoenix BIOS v2.10

    Is it possible that the BIOS is damaged of some sort? I tried to reinstall V2.10 but he told me that I have the same version and it will not be installed.

    Hi lartech,.

    You can recharge the battery if you get into the BIOS and made the battery charging icon light?
    Are you using the original Toshiba AC/DC adapter and battery?

    In the worst case, it s a malfunction of the motherboard, and you have done what you can do: BIOS update and to install Windows from the recovery disc. If this doesn't help s a bad hardware work.

  • Satellite M105-SP381: short battery life - 01:50 mins

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite M105 and I think that Im not getting good battery life out of it. I have had the machine for 1 month and I can barely 01:50 mins on drums, with a minimum brightness and wifi, just surf the web and listen to mp3s. What is the performance expected for this type of machine?

    It has a 1.8 Core Duo, 1 GB RAM, 80 gb HD, ATI x 1300 14 "of clues? I use the watch system to "long term" Toshiba application. My battery was unaffected by the action of voluntary exchange of Toshiba.

    Thank you

    HI Juan,

    Different parts of the book will use you the power at higher or lower rates. Any component with a mechanical action (your hard drive, optical drive, floppy drive, etc.) use generally a little more power than the CPU, RAM etc.

    The effect is to drain the battery faster if the hard drive or optical drive is used. So, generally, is expected to get more autonomy if you use an application such as Word or Excel where there is minimum hard disk activity unless you're constantly saving or loading documents.

    In your case, playback of MP3 files will constantly have to load data from the drive hard (although cached to reduce the number of access) while you browsing the internet is constantly written pages in your Temporary Internet folder (as well as access to your anti-virus database). All this activity hard drive means that the hard drive is never allowed to turn down and therefore do not have to use the power of the battery.

    As long as you follow the usual recommendations to optimize your battery (let it fully discharge from time to time) I think that the time you get really is reasonable for the type of activity that you do.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro L500 will not start on battery only

    Hello!

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro L500 and have the following problems.
    My laptop does not start on battery only. The Green led comes on and stays with the laptop in a gel (nothing appears on the screen).
    The only way to get this light off is to remove the battery.

    Starts EVERY time with AC power connected (with or without battery)-normal lights are displayed when connected.
    Works quite normal, once started - with or without power connected

    SOMETIMES starts with the battery only if I boot in a short time after I've used the laptop
    I tried the static release process but does not work. (hold button power supply without battery or power supply connected etc..)

    After having this problem, I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS but nothing helped
    Tried a different battery and did not help
    Is a Toshiba Satellite PRO L500 T4400 4GB 15 "laptop Win7 - only 3 weeks or so old

    Very annoying!
    Please anyone with a solution?

    Hello

    Try this.
    Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter and then wait a while. I would like to leave it disconnected for about 12 hours.
    Together the two parties again, charge the battery and then remove the power adapter.
    Then try to turn on the unit using only the battery.

    If that does not help, then you should get in touch with your ASP as fast as possible since the guarantee is valid and would cover all the checks of the equipment and replacements.

  • Satellite L735-11f autonomy last only 3 hours

    my daughter satellite L735-11f autonomy last only 3 hours...
    is it a problem or do I need to replace the battery, or simply change a few settings?

    Hi Fred

    3 hours is really a good value for the working time of battery.
    Don t think that something is wrong with the battery.
    You should know that the battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
    The battery needed to dump more quickly if the laptop computer to operate with higher performance.

    Of course, you can change certain values in Win 7 power management to optimize the parameters of battery operation.

  • How long can I work on Satellite L30 when the battery is fully charged?

    Help, please. My battery is lasting only 01:14 min. My laptop is Satellite L30.

  • Satellite Pro L10 - query battery power

    Hello

    I'm hoping I have a battery problem or my phone is dead.
    I wonder I was able to use my L10 Pro of the Satellite with the removed battery and the power cable plugged into the wall?

    My laptop has stopped feeding upwards, the charger still has his light, but no power seems to be put into the machine.
    If it works without battery in?

    see you soon

    Of course, you can use your laptop with AC power only.
    Remove the battery and check it out.

  • Satellite C850 lights with battery power

    Hello

    My computer toshiba laptop Satellite C850 lights with battery. It works fine when connected with AC power... !!
    When it is connected with AC power, it shows that my battery is fully charged.

    How old is the battery?
    Would it be possible that the battery does not charge more?

    My old s battery showed 100% of the fees but the farm worked only 1 min and then the battery was empty.
    This is nothing unusual, and sooner or later this would happen to any battery.

    I think you should just try a new battery compatible.

  • Tecra A6 does not start with battery only

    Hi all
    I'm having a strange problem with a Tecra A6 I picked up recently at the refurb because it does not start with a battery only: it starts only when / sector is also connected, but eventually DΘmarrer on battery alone (and works fine) with the power cord removed shortly after pressing the power button. It's just on battery alone, I get no answer by pressing the power on button (so the power outlet must be set at this first stage or I don't get anything).

    Now I'm wondering if maybe it's the battery voltage? It seems that there are 2 options for this model, a 10.8 v and the other at 11.1V. With loaded Windows and Hardware Monitor reports running the battery is at 0% wear level and cool until completely (so I don't think that the battery is faulty), but it indicates that the battery is running at * 11, 1V, * but the battery installed is actually the * model 10.8v*. Could that prevent any power on only to batteries?

    More information on the model I have:
    Tecra A6-PTA60E-0EJ013EN
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0 Ghz
    2 GB of Ram.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this one. Essential, I would like to know is if I have a 11.1V battery to run this model correctly (and get it) on battery alone. If the voltage makes no difference so I guess it must be a weird motherboard problem and I need bother not buy a new battery.

    > Will have to buy another battery and see if the same thing happens (I'll know then if it is the motherboard), but in the meantime if anyone can let me know if the voltage is serious I would appreciate it.

    To my knowledge, the batteries for Tecra A6 should take in charge 10.8V
    There's piles more strong for example 5200mAh but the voltage must be the same 10.8

  • Satellite 1900-803 runs on battery only

    My 1900-803 satellite only works on battery PWR. When AC pwr device connected, correct lights and AC power icon appears in the systray. But system turns off automatically when the battery goes down. Air conditioning unit seems to be ok and charge the battery as well as to show good indicators when connected to the led system.

    The good people of suggestions? :)

    see you soon
    Ally

    Hello Ally

    In my opinion there must be some problem with electronic power which controls the supply. The strange thing is that the battery can discharge while the unit is connected to the power running.

    In my opinion, you should also check power management settings. Is it possible that disable HDD is set to low balance time?
