• Re: Satellite P300-150 - battery replacement not detected

  Hello

  I bought a replacement battery for my laptop that I got an error message saying that I should replace my battery.

  I bought a compatible battery, but it is not detected by my system.

  The battery indicator was strong when I plugged in for the first time in the power adapter, as it was when my old battery charge - but now it blinks in and out.

  I can't boot from the battery alone.

  Battery: PA3536U-1BRS, 4000mAh

  New: PA3536U-1BRS, 7800mAh

  Running windows 7.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Is the new battery compatible and listed as replacement for your Satellite P300?

  Somehow I think that it is not compatible and original Toshiba battery. I'm wrong about this?

• Satellite Pro A120 battery problem

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A120 and is a battery problem a month ago.
  The battery is not new, but recently changed, 6 months ago.
  Until a few weeks ago, it lasted about 2 hours when full load, until this time
  suddenly dropped 30-40 minutes.
  In addition, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's a few extra vibrations,
  for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  I initially though that there was a problem with the battery or the battery contacts, but they seem ok.
  I tried to unload it in my laboratory of the company with a power resistance: resistance absorbed 1A continuously for more than 3 hours. As the specification 4400mAh battery, I would say that the battery is ok.

  Is it possible that I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
  The battery stress test above seems to show that the charging process is ok. So the problem might be with
  the provision of monitor or battery power.
  Someone at - it experience of similar problems and maybe a solution.
  Or perhaps a work around? As excluding the battery monitoring and auto turn off

  Thanks in advance

  Perhaps, but that's just a guess only a cellphone technician may provide an exactly the answer to this question.

  > Furthermore, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's some additional vibration.

  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  It is very strange, I want to say if the contacts of the battery and the battery would be ok, this symptom shouldn't its sounds strange for me, so maybe that's the key why battery don't not lasts more than 30-40 min

  However, I think you should try a new battery before checking the motherboard.

• Satellite P300-1GL battery falls to 85% when you unplug the charger

  Hello

  I had a Satellite P300-1GL for about a week and I let it charge and discharge several times. When Vista tells me that the battery is fully charged (100%) and the battery light changes from orange to white on the laptop, I unplug the charger. Then, my battery level falls almost immediately from 100% to 85%. If I plug the charger in the laptop, he noted again the battery 100%.

  Can someone help me out here?

  Thank you very much.

  Select this option.

  Hello

  As mhoffmann suggested discharge the battery fully until the laptop shuts itself. Then reconnect the AC/DC adapter and charge the battery fully. If you now disconnect the AC/DC adapter is again - reductions of up to 85% battery level?

  If so, I think that the battery must be exchanged. Contact the registered maintainer the closest that you can find on the Toshiba site and ask for a new battery. Technicians will try to help you:

• Satellite L555-123 battery problem?

  I own a satellite l555-123 which, lately, does not (most of the time), not start even without the battery and when in power. I managed to start it once, and what I saw was a popup that says "your battery is critical please change as soon as possible" or something in that sense (but that normally on windows and all, just, he couldn't last more than 5 minutes, running windows). I have 2 questions if you could be so kind to answer.
  Is it possible that it does not start when running on a power supply without battery?
  What model battery is also compatible with my model? Just to know to buy a

  Thanks in advance!

  Ask Toshiba or people that you buy.

• Satellite L850 - charger / battery problems, not normal...

  Hi all.

  First post and all, I had a glance through to see if I can find my particular problem, and I don't think I can.

  I posted this in another sub-forum, but then realized it's here... oops!

  A L850. It will work fine on battery, but only supplies not the charger cable. Helpfully, a colleague also has an another L850 (I bought two together) so I can charge my battery of separately in his machine.

  If I start the machine on a charged battery, it works fine. If you connect then the power adapter, the led is lit on the front of the machine, but it's clearly not load the machine works until the battery is flat and then turns off and will not turn on back until you charge the battery apart and put it back in.

  Whenever the machine is powered, it also complains that the RTC battery is flat, and you will need to set the time in the BIOS. It is the coin cell CR2032 internally on the motherboard isn't?

  what I don't understand, is that the unit understands clearly that the charger is plugged, as seers to say it is the battery. Except that it isn't, and is not to be unity. Œuvres battery for about 40 minutes of our days, after that, dead machine.

  Any ideas? I suppose that there is something wrong with the internal charging circuit, but the fact that the LED lights up when it is plugged suggests otherwise...

  Thanks for all the ideas.

  David.

  More information on this type of bit. When it is plugged in, the icon on the screen says "Plugged in, charge", but battery icon animates not charging about 10 seconds, then stops, and battery is clearly not charge as % drops away slowly.

  I found a Google one of them is the "remove all, hold for 30 seconds, reconnect power. This made no difference. I also found advice to uninstall the battery from the device manager driver software and allow it to re - install. This done, still no different.

  I got the hard drive and in a USB enclosure to retrieve all my files and am doing the 'factory restore' option I think that this is a restore hard disk partition. This work is far away, but in my opinion, is still running on battery only, so do not know if this is going to end!

• Satellite P10: Discharge battery problem

  Hi all. I just bought a P10 and I have a problem with the battery discharges while remaining on the current after being fully charged.

  Basically when the battery discharge the machine stops and cannot be restarted successfully until about 1/2 hour of charging.

  Surely if the machine is on the battery supply should be go to the opereation of the machine? Virtually all other laptops are not disturbed by the battery then on the sector.

  Is there a utility that disables this problem because there is nothing in the bios that is available to select. (BTW, I HAVE ISNTALLED LATEST VERSION OF THE BIOS).
  I also blew the hole thing with compressed air just in case there was a problem of overheating.

  Am Running XP Pro 512 MB DDR333Mhz 30Gig HDD 2.6 GHz P4

  All this makes me very frustrated and am really starting to regret to have bought the laptop.
  I've been a professional for 10 years now and have never experienced such a problem.

  Any help, advice, links or the fixes would be greatly appreciated so thank you very much in advance.

  Hello

  It s very strange.
  As far as I know the Toshiba power saver control power and cooling procedures.
  If the AC adapter is plugged in, the energy saver uses a profile of full power.
  If the laptop works with battery energy saver must use another profile with different parameters. You should check what profile is used and the settings for this profile.
  Check the CPU and cooling module parameters.

  But if this doesn't help then it could be something wrong with the hardware. But it's not easy to say what the problem is. In this case, you must contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. It can start diagnostic tests.

• Satellite L300D-245 - battery problem

  I was using my laptop on battery only and all of a sudden it turned off even if she had 40% of power left and would not turn on. I plugged it into the outlet. the battery led doesn't light up. I turned on the laptop and everything was ok, but for the battery. the laptop read it, but it does not load. It's 40%, so I plugged it in, and it turns off immediately. the battery is now at 0% and the laptop runs on the power adapter only.

  the laptop is old, vista 1 year.

  Last week, I saw the same behavior on my laptop of a friend s. I'm not 100% sure but I think that the battery is defective. He has already ordered a new.

• Satellite P300 - 1 5 problem with my DVD player

  When I put a DVD (game or film) in my DVD player, the computer tells me that the DVD is blank. He suggested me to burn the data above.

• Satellite P300-172 - what is my serial number

  I'm trying to download the easy cap software from a cd.
  The installation process requires me to disclose the serial number of my laptop.

  Problem is that I can't continue without entering 19-digit while my serial number has only 9.
  Is there something I'm missing here?

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  Is the "easy cap" screenshot software or hardware to capture the video? If the latter then [http://forum.easycap.co.uk]. In both cases, I doubt that is it SERVICES has a list of formats of mobile number and will make any 19 figures. But is your problem with a package of video capture as Ulead and your software has been provided as a bunch of OEM with PC from another manufacturer?

• On the Satellite P300-172 USB port failure

  I bought this laptop in August 2008, I had no problems with it until last week when the USB port I plug the mouse in stopped working.
  I changed to the following, it also wasn't work, but one of the other side worked ok. Use the computer laptop all that evening, the next day it would not start, just got a whole screen, that came out and it turns off, back on, power lights all came, but just a blank screen. I noticed that the area round the s defective USB was really hot in a few minutes.

  According to me, the failure of USB caused a significant fault, motherboard maybe.
  I paid a lot of money for this laptop and I expected to last more than 13 months. I tried to call Toshiba but I can t live without it repeat press this button for the Department you want, but whatever the button that you press it back to the original message.

  If he had an idea of what could be the problem with the laptop and he thinks that too much power going to him, asked a computer engineer.

  Someone at - it an idea what could be causing this, I am housebound and rely on the internet.

  Hello

  His pity to hear that your laptop has started to malfunction, but a hardware malfunction can always happen. Generally, you should contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country for assistance.

  I put t know where you are but I found this page from Toshiba Europe ASP database:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support download &-> find an authorized service provider

  Regarding your question.
  In most cases, the higher internal temperature might be the reason for this closure downs.
  Portable media some sensors that would power the laptop off to prevent material damage the temperature can increase because the cooling modules are blocked because of the dust and debris also use of non-Toshiba graphics card driver can cause problems of graphics so it s always advisable to use the graphics drivers from Toshiba.

  In any case it seems that your laptop needs expert help then get in touch with ASP in your country and ask for more details.
