Satellite P30: Battery appears to disconnect from supply electricity

Hello

I have a Satellite P30-133 laptop computer, and the problem I have is that sometimes it seems as if the laptop does not work / connected to the battery. The battery indicator can say 70% etc, then it may stop abruptly. Or if I remove the power she sometimes stops immediately. Other times he fully run without a problem. Its as if the connection from the laptop to the battery intermittently has problems.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem before?

Hello

You suggest that laptop you can not stop using the battery.
Am I wrong?
Well, very strange. I don't know if this problem occurs due to software or hardware m malfunction. It's not easy to say.
Have you tried to recover the operating system? If this isn't the case, so I recommend to do. (don t forget the backup) Don t install any 3rd party applications.
Then you can test your laptop if the problem occurs.
If this doesn t matter persists so I guess it's a malfunction of the software. But if it happens again, so there must be something wrong with the hardware. Maybe the power supply electronic problem.

  • Satellite P30 - battery will not work correctly

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite P30 for more than a year now and overall I am very satisfied with this mobile 'desktop '.
    The worrying thing is that I keep the laptop high time constant to allow room for the fans. (If they get hot the laptop just turns off).

    My question is about my battery about 3 months ago, the problem began, suddenly at random time my laptop can not regocnize battery which mean that even if the cable ca is in hes runnin on battery and goes so goes out after a while. I always leave the battery in the laptop when I use it because the cable ca is not quite stable more unfortunately so I need to keep a book on the cable in order to make it work.
    Is it possible that I can claim a new battery or do something about the problem? It is very difficult when I'm workin and all of a sudden the light just goes and I know that I have a max of 30 min before he died.
    Please let me know what I can do, thank you

    Hi Alexander,.

    I don't think that the problem is with your battery, it is more likely to be a bad contact on the ca cable where it plugs into your laptop. In general, the ca card makes an intermittent contact and that the power of fools management system into believing that AC power has been disconnected. It follows that the power, then transfers to battery power and it ejects then until the powers of the unit off.

    I managed to solve this problem on my SA30 anchoring the power cable at the back of the laptop so that there is no constraint on the card.

    With regard to the problem of overheating, computers laptop modern can generate a lot of heat and requires a lot of cooling air to keep things cool. Make sure that the cooling system is cleaned of dust and debris with a vacuum cleaner pipe placed on the intakes on a regular basis.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite C855-149 stop being disconnected from the network

    OK, so yesterday I had to switch my cell of a room to another (it's a Toshiba Satellite C855-149).
    Its usually connected to the grid, so I moved and everything was fine.

    After a few hours, I decided to go back to my room and as soon as I unplugged my laptop charger (my battery was full), it will stop. The fact that since then.

    It shows that the battery is at 100% and that the laptop is connected.
    I started looking for advice on the internet and I found this program called BatteryInfoView.

    That's what it shows: http://imgur.com/H9n8phU

    It looks like the battery isn t correctly initialized.
    Try the next solution.
    Go to the Device Manager, expand the section battery and remove / uninstall compatible ACPI control method battery.

    Restart the unit. After that, the deleted entry must be recognized again.
    You can now check if the laptop turns on if the adapter has been disconnected.

    If this did not help you, I recommend you remove and insert battery while the laptop is running.

    Your comments would be appreciated.

  • Satellite A100 - battery life is increased from 100 min to 20 min after 1.5 years

    After 1.5 years, the battery life dropped about 100 minutes within 30 minutes.

    I thought that the battery was bad, but after that Windows automatically stopped because he thought that the battery was empty. I plugged the power cord for 10 seconds approximately, started the computer laptop, unplugged immediately and let it run in the BIOS screen. It has been running for more than 45 minutes, so that the laptop is off. Then

    I guess the battery was still high capacity, but somehow calibration data has become invalid.

    Is it possible to calibrate the battery? I have not found such a feature in the BIOS, where all my other phones have such a feature (even if I never need for others!)

    Concerning
    Thomas

    Hello

    I think you're a little confused about the duration of battery life and performance of the battery.
    But you should t be confused because it is nothing unusual.

    After about 500 times charge/discharge, the battery will begin to lose clean performance.
    This means that after a longer time of use, the battery performance will decrease and a day you need to replace.

    My 7 year old 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.

    If don t wonder about the performance of your battery. It s normal behavior.

    Hello John

    I think this problem should be properly verified by the service partner. On this path, it is not easy to give an accurate diagnosis. To correctly power AC power adapter, power on the laptop power and power electronic housing must work well. If a place is defective, you can expect problems.

    In my opinion, the unit should be checked by technicians.

  • Satellite A200 Win8 64bits - Atheros AR5006EX disconnects from the network at random

    First of all, sorry for my bad English.

    Hi, I installed W8 a few weeks ago and I have a problem with the WiFi. The adapter disconnects from the network at random. Not a protocol TCP/IP fail because I don't lose the connection to the internet, I lose the connection to the network for everyone.
    Simply disconnected from any wifi network.

    I have read that wifi chips Qualcomm have problems with drivers in W8. I tested many pilots and all do not work properly.

    Any help?

    The wifi card is: Qualcomm atheros AR5006EX and the laptop is: Toshiba satellite A200-1TP.

    Drivers I tested (and didn't work):

    http://drivers.Softpedia.com/get/network-card/Atheros/Atheros-AR5006EX-WLAN-driver-300119-for-Windows-8-x64.shtml

    Thank you!

    Do you have these problems with the operating system supported?
    I mean A200 is pretty old machine and certainly not supported for Win8, so it can be a problem with all of this, especially with the drivers.

    Let's see if someone else has the same machine and have the solution to this.

  • Satellite P30 seems to completely charge the battery only when the unit is turned off completely

    Hi, I have my Toshiba Satellite p30 and only works on battery. This unit operate on sector or only on the battery as after the period of time go down the warning, then closes. The orange light fades in and out, but seems that it will only fully charge when the unit is turned off completely.

    I only just received this unit so bit of a novice.

    MASH

    Hello

    normally, the battery should always charge until it is full when the power is connected.
    If you have an orange light flashes, it means that something is wrong. Maybe your battery is faulty or something else. This should be checked by a technician.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P30-130: battery stops charging

    Problem with my power/charge on my laptop.

    Intermittently, when you use the AC adapter to charge the battery, the battery may charge for a time (with bright amber LED) and then (after no moment) the amber light will come out and stop loading. When this happens looking at the battery icon in the desktop tray shows the laptop running on battery power, even if power supply is still attached.

    Move the power AC jack in the back of the laptop making makes no difference. It's almost as if the laptop is not recognizing that the AC adapter / CC is there.

    To add to the confusion, if I use Notepad on the only current (ie remove the battery completely), the power to randomly stop. It is also intermittent and occurs even if the laptop is not in use.

    I checked the power meter settings, and I have the drivers for toshiba utilities to save energy. I also replaced the power supply and the battery.

    Any ideas?

    Hello Chris

    All that you have done is just but the next step is to control the electronic power to the motherboard. Problem is that you can not do it alone, and it must be done by technicians.

    Please contact the customer Service of your country partner and explain the situation. They have the equipment to control the electronic food placed on the motherboard.

  • Satellite Z830 - battery problem

    Hello

    Recently my SSD drive failed, I had a brand new spare so I replaced it. From the start it I had problems with my battery. The laptop works fine when it is plugged in, but if I remove the plug the portable ca goes out (like unplugging a desktop PC). The battery appears in Device Manager, the following figure:

    Microsoft AC adapter
    Battery method control compatible ACPI Microsoft
    Microsoft Composite battery

    When the power supply is connected, the battery indicates the charge and stuck a 9%, it is like that for days.

    When you replace the SSD drive, I haven't touched another thing (well not that I know well), and made sure I have touch the SD slot (Earth static electricity). I don't know if that is the question.

    The ultrabook is a little over a year old, and the battery was perfect before that.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much
    Jeremy.

    My opinion on this Satellite has a different design and construction so this Exchange should be performed by authorized personal only. On this virtual path, we cannot say much. Who knows what the problem is here.

    In my opinion that it must be tested with another battery and just this way you can see if the battery is troublemaker, or anything else. I'm afraid you need professional help with this problem of Mr. contact nearest service Toshiba and let check battery and electronic power.

  • Satellite P30 and Windows 2000...

    Please, please, please... help me solve my nightmare!

    I tried all ways to install Windows 2000 on my satellite P30. All software and drivers are updated (service pack 4, dx9, lastes drivers, etc), but...

    When the installation of the white screen of graphic Ati drivers (ati 9700) appears and it crash (as shown in the previous topic: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=4136&messageID=13825#13825 - I want to reopen that walk but is locked)

    The problem is that I have great experience in the software/hardware and I have installed all drivers (drivers omega, satellite m30x drivers, drivers ati, different drivers manufactured, ecc.) but the problem STILL persists.

    I'm going to give up, but before that I would like to know, if someone here in this forum has solved this problem or if anyone really expert could suggest me other ways to install windows 2000 on this computer?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Nick is quite right. W2000 is not officially supported for this model of laptop, and you won't find a graphics card driver on Toshiba download site. I assume that you have installed the driver from ATI directly download site. In this case there is no guarantee that it will work properly.

    Sorry

  • Satellite P30 - blue screen after reinstalling OS

    I reinstall OS (Windows XP) on my old laptop Toshiba Satellite P30, but after the first (required to continue XP Setup) restart the BLUEBACK screen appear (System has recovered from a serious error).

    The laptop can not load Windows XP at all. Do you have an idea of what's going on?

    Thanks :)

    Hello

    It looks like a hardware problem. You should check the RAM and HARD drive.

    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    http://Memtest86.com/
    Memtest86 is a diagnostic tool to check the RAM. Here, you can also download a CD image.
    It s easy to use. Run the test of 3-4 hours and then you will see if the RAM has some errors.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite P30 - screen got vertical stripes

    Hello!

    Two problems:

    1. my Satellite P30 becomes a little old (bought in 2005), I know, but it works really well - a few hiccups of course.
    However, the lines of different colors appear vertically on the screen. It started with a single line of a few months ago and right there are now seven (10 at the most).
    The odd bit is that they appear, disappear, and reappear - some more often than others.
    I find it quite strange, and I wonder if the problem is the screen itself or if it is a motherboard / other hardware or a software problem.

    2. commissioning is slow lane. Suddenly, there is (before tha line problem described above) about four months something has changed in the startup routine.
    Before, when the "Welcome" message was shown, the screen became blavk for a second, and office appeared with the bar of tasks and shortcuts emediately. As usual.
    But some time back the time according to 'Welcome' to the desktop was OK, changed its jst a fww seconds to THREE minutes! I checked my pc for all known problems, but nothing! What is going on? The image of the desktop appears, and then three minutes before the taskbar and icons appear.

    Can someone help me?

    Best regards, Lars of the Norway

    (1) what are the lines? If these are lines of pixels, and the lines are spaced randomly, its most likely a LCD issue.

    (2) download and run BootVis. This small utility from Microsoft saves driver delays and other things during the startup.

  • Satellite P30: How to format the HARD drive and install a new OS?

    I have a satellite P30 laptop with Windows XP. I plug myself a new OS (namely because I can't find my old recovery CD CD and OS) that I want to do a re-shape full of my system. Reason is that my system has been painfully slower and slower over the last year. I even updated my RAM to 512 MB standard supplied with the machine to 2 GB, but it seems to have had little or no effect. So my questions are:-

    1] where can I get my hands on the restore CD that has all the drivers on this subject, and any recovery CD to reformat my HARD drive?
    [2] in the order in which I will make this reformatting?
    How can [3] after having bought an external HARD drive to keep files that I don't want to lose, I transfer those of before my re - format?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    :-)

    Hello

    You received with the laptop Toshiba Recovery CD! Am I wrong?
    So what s the problem?

    Simply insert the CD and try to boot from this CD.
    The restore CD contains all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities Windows OS + additional software like Win DVD for example.
    The installation will set the laptop to factory settings, but will also format the HARD drive!

    Up to now, we come to the point 3; --> How do I save the data
    If you have purchased a second HDD and connect it to the USB port and transfer all the necessary files on the second HDD
    If you have purchased only the HARD drive, then you will need a USB HDD 2.5 case.

  • Re: Satellite Pro 6000 - will not be from hibernation

    I allowed my Sat Pro 6000 to run out of battery at the weekend so I was working on it and it went into hibernation, now I can't get the screen to wake up again. When I Plug and switch on the power led lights up, but the driven system is not. If I leave the power for about 10 minutes, the fan turns on and then turns off again.

    I tried to disconnect the battery cable and the power and left these disconnected from the day to the next, but this did not help. I removed the hard drive and tried in another 6000 and it works fine.

    Everyone knows about this problem?

    Hello

    It seems more like a hardware problem as a problem of Hibernate (software).
    I think there is something wrong with the power of electronic power supply on the motherboard and so the machine doesn't wake up or start impossible.

    I think it will be not easy to fix this problem yourself.
    Therefore an ASP help would be needed I put t see any other possibility.
