Satellite Pro L50 - load capacity of low battery

Satellite Pro L50, I got a warning box will appear from the Toshiba PC Health Monitor, who said

"Your battery charge ability is relatively poor.
After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform in the max capacity & will need to be replaced. This is normal for the batteries. Click the help button for more information on the State of charge 'poor'. »

By clicking on the help button, said the State of the battery to a third load capacity.

Is this an indication that I need a new battery?
The laptop is only 4 months old & I have a few concerns. Comments appreciated

Best regards, mrpringle.

If the laptop is 4 months old I recommend you to contact your dealer or directly the closest Toshiba sevice provider and explain the situation.

You should clarify this with them and maybe you will get new battery free.

Addresses and phone numbers, you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/
Don't wait. Call the Toshiba service as soon as possible.

  • USB 3.0 does not work on my Satellite Pro L50

    Hello boffins.

    I have a problem with the driver for the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible host controller on my L50 (running Win7 64 bit).

    I recently took my L50 Pro Satelite (PSKK3A-001001) to the repair shop because the blue ports were not running at speeds of USB 3.0 when I plugged a USB 3.0 compatible device (a WD 1 TB HARD drive). When I looked in the device tab "Display connection" Manager, HARD drive showed as connected to the ordinary C220 USB hub which is for USB.2.0. USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller has been inactive.

    The technician in the repair shop said:

    + I tested your machine with a new installation of Windows 8 and have been able to achieve speeds to 180 MB/s of my FlashDrive USB 3.0 without problem, which indicates that it is a matter of faulty software. We can improve your Windows 8 machine free of charge if you prefer, but I'm unable to solve the problem in Windows 7. From what I can tell, and what you have experienced, no published 3.0 for Windows 7 USB drivers can recognize the 3 USB ports installed as a USB 3 connection. If you are wanting to stick with Windows 7, I can't guarantee that you will reach speeds of USB 3.0 by using these ports. +

    It's not really good enough, Toshiba. Now, I bought this machine specifically with pre-installed Win7 (because Win8 is rubbish) that I wanted a machine Win7, including USB 3.0 ports. This machine has been published as such, having Win7 installed with 2 x USB 3.0 ports and 1 x USB 2.0. This is confirmed by the page of the specifications of Toshiba here: [http://www.mytoshiba.co.nz/support/computers/satellite/pro/l50/pskk3a-001001/specifications].

    So, my question is this: why this machine is the drivers needed to run it as advertised (i.e. under Win7 with 2 ports USB 3.0 x and 1 x USB 2.0) and if there are drivers for this device available, where are they? I tried and tried the repairman (I guess) but I'm still without a driver to run my USB 3.0 clocked ports. I tried age for the files to be transferred between pending devices.

    Maybe someone can help me find a driver that works or Toshiba will clean up their act and produce a.

    But you have installed Intel USB3.0 driver 2.0.0.102 version, right?

  • Satellite Pro L50 - B - unable to connect at 5 GHz Wi - Fi

    Hello

    I just bought a new Satellite Pro L50 - B and it is unable to connect to the wifi of my company 5 GHz network. It connects well to the 2.4 GHz network, but poor performance on network thaat there.

    Is it possible to get the L50 - B to work in the 5 GHz range?

    Thank you

    Martin

    Frequency of 5 GHz is supported by 802.11 A and 802.11 N
    But if the WLan module is not compatible 802.11 A, then the standard 802.11 N will operate at 2.4 Ghz

    The question is: what are the standards WLan are supported by the integrated WLan module?

    Which module WLan is integrated?

  • Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

    I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

    The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

    BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

    WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

    Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

    + The message was edited: link has been removed ad channel may not +.

    Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
    Be careful about this.

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Have you noticed something strange with LED power control? It is also possible that the electronic power supply do troubled. Try to talk with authorized Toshiba and explain the situation. If you open only one Notepad, uneducated, it may be simply worse.

  • Satellite Pro L50 - A - does not function keys

    Hello

    I just bought the L50, but the function button did not work. I tried to reboot, reinstall the utilities, but it did not help.

    I couldn't find the "restart flash card" also. Can anyone help?

    Thank you!

    > I just bought the L50, but the function button didn't work

    What system do you use or what system was preinstalled on this laptop?
    As far as I know a few L50 - A Satellite Pro have been pre-installed with Win 7 and Win 8 DVD could be found in the package

    The fact is that Win 7 and Win 8 are two different systems and different Toshiba tools are needed to get the FN button work.

    Your comments would be appreciated.

  • Satellite Pro L300 starts flashing led no-battery

    Hello world

    My Satellite Pro L300 stopped working suddenly: nothing terrible happened, such as fall or other accident, so I can't explain what went wrong.

    The situation is: I have the laptop with the battery inside and connected to the power cable. I press the power button and battery led 5 times with the orange light just flashes. It doesen't start, not even the fan, just stay still. Same thing if I disconnect the power cable.

    If I remove the battery it doesn't blink even led orange.

    Does anyone know what could have happened?

    Thank you very much and sorry for my bad English!

    Silvia

    Hello Silvia

    I can't say for sure, but power led flashing is typical when there is a problem with power supply and electronic power supply.

    If you cannot start the laptop with AC power only (remove battery) then you need professional help with this.
    Sorry, but I m afraid there is nothing you can do about it.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - looking for a better battery

    You just bought a Satellite Pro L20, am a little disappointed at the time of the battery, I was wondering where to find the best/most long duration batteries for it, if there is such a thing?

    See you soon

    [Edited by: admin January 21 06 10:42]

    Hello

    Well, battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. The use of the high-performance notebook reduces the battery working time.
    In addition, you should check the watch tool Toshiba. There are different modes of battery that you can use. The right mode increases battery working time.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L40 - what is lasting average battery?

    Hello

    Recently, I received my Satellite Pro L40 and wonder what is the average battery? Once fully charged, it seems to be able to handle 1 hour max. Is this normal?

    The laptop I had before was the same, but my friends laptop, which is more than a year older than mine, runs for more than 3 hours on a fully charged battery.

    Is there a fault?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is not easy to answer this question because the battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. You know that you will be able to run much longer Notepad on the battery power using only a few common applications like Word or Internet Explorer.
    Play games, watch DVDs or burn CD/DVD of waste more than energy because the performance of simple devices is much higher!

    Fact is that portable Pro L40 was equipped devices and high-tech parts. The laptop supports a nice GPU of fort Intel Pentium Dual - Core CPU, huge HARD drive, and and and

    In addition, you must know that the Vista operating system preinstalled eat a lot of resources and waste more energy than Win XP!
    All of this has an influence on the working time of battery.

    Last but not least, he should know that there are different batteries on the market.
    If you want to increase the performance of the battery, buy a stronger battery!

  • 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 Pro U400 - how your last long battery time

    Hello everyone!

    I bought a toshiba laptop (satellite pro u400), but I think he has a very short range, about 1 h.
    Someone like that have a computer toshiba laptop?

    How long your battery last time?

    Thank you!!!

    GLO :-)

    Hello

    I have a U400 and I also use it with the battery.

    I use it for surfing the internet and writing
    Execution of the laptop with battery I always set the brightness to the minimum, and in this case I can use it for about two hours.

    If the screen light is set to max and the HARD drive and the CD/DVD drive works then your battery time will likely decline at a time.

    So, as you can see the battery time work depands defintialy on the use of the laptop...
