• Satellite L650 - 18 c - 0% charged after 2 hours battery

  Hi all

  I have a brand new (got three hours ago) L650 - 18 c, which does not seem to load correctly. When I hoover my mouse over the battery icon that it said that AC is connected and load but the battery status is always 0% and it is bound for at least 2 hours now. He shows no sign of support either.

  Does anyone have any advice or ideas for what is the cause and how to fix it?

  Thank you

  Hi been,.

  In your case I'd wait a bit more. I mean this new book of s you have only several hours and this could take some time until the battery is fully charged.

  In your case I would also turn the computer off and wait until the LED battery icon change color and show you a completely charged battery.

• Satellite A100-493 - short battery life

  Hei,
  I installed windows 7 on my Toshiba ' Satellite A100-493. After the installation of the battery life drops to 20 min. What can I do?

  And I read in the support that toshiba has a battery for this model Exchange program, it is now possible to change the battery?

  Welcome them

  Hey Buddy,

  Where did you read about this procedure to Exchange battery?

  In my opinion, the dough is near end of life because Satellite A100 is old laptop model and if you didn t exchange the battery yet it seems to be bad now.

  Usually, a battery can be recharged 500 - 1000 times and after that, need to replace the battery because it s a part not reusable.

• Satellite T230 - Downgrade Windows 7 64 bit to 32 bit

  Hello

  Can you please help. Just a week before I bought the Toshiba Satellite T230-10j. The laptop comes with Windows 7 64-bit edition. It has the recovery partition and no other support provided with the same. Is it possible to downgrade from 64-bit to 32-bit OS. If so can someone please provide the *.wim image. There are a many applications doesnot support 64 - bit os and the only way for me would be the Windows 7 32 bit.

  Can someone guide me how to proceed further with this.

  Kind regards

  Hi mate

  As much as I know the laptop won't was delivered with any disk recovery because you could create a clean recovery disc image using the Toshiba Recovery creator software that was preinstalled on your laptop.

  In addition if you want to downgrade the Win 7 64 bit to 32 bit then you will need to purchase the 32 bit version.

• Upgrade memory on Satellite T230-113

  Good afternoon.
  is Toshiba T230-113
  2 GB of installed memory
  marking:
  Hynix 2Gb 2Rx8 PC3 - 8500 S-7-10-F2
  HMT125S6TFR8C-G7 no. AA - c

  I want to move to 4 GB, it is best to choose?
  2x2gb or 1x4Go?

  What is dual channel mode?

  Thank you

  I checked the specifications of your mobile device, and it should have 4 GB inside.
  In any case it can be upgraded to 8 GB upwards then maybe you should buy a module with 4 GB and put a former module as the second RAM. One day, you can put second 4 GB of RAM and the use of RAM possible maximum with your Satellite T230-113.

• Satellite T230 - wake up after sleep

  I'm faced with a problem on a new T230

  After that the machine goes to sleep, with keyboard Wake enabled, it will not wake up little matter what I do. The only way out is to close and restart or set it to not sleep, which affect the main reason why I bought it, the claims of long battery life

  Any help will be welcome

  Hey,.

  Do you see the same behavior when wake on the keyboard is disabled?
  You use the preinstalled Windows 7 Toshiba?

  To be honest it of really strange that the sleep mode doesn't properly work. I use often the standby and hibernation very often and it still works but I have disabled Wake on the keyboard of the battery without danger while it off s and I installed the latest version of the official website of Toshiba BIOS.

  Do you have the latest version of the BIOS too?

• USB no longer works on Satellite T230

  HelloW,
  I use the Satellite T230 (Windows 7 64-bit) for about a month.
  Once one of the USB ports stopped working. USB-drives are not recognized at all, a mouse - the note is simply a repeating beep. That USB port doen't see a USB key during startup.
  Everything works with a different port.

  I tried the system recovery, update the BIOS. Nothing helps.

  I am really angry and don't know what to do.

  Thanks for any help

  Hi Yu_1,

  > I tried system recovery, update the BIOS. Nothing helps.
  System recovery means that you have already reinstalled Windows from Toshiba disk recovery and HARD drive recovery?

  If so, I think that you have tried everything you can do and it looks like a hardware malfunction :(

  So as next step, contact a service provider allowed in your country and ask the guys for help. They can solve your problem. I think that it s mainboard issue because the USB ports are set on it.
  If your laptop is under warranty, the repair would be free :)

• Is satellite T230 - possible to overclock?

  I want to know if it's possible MY GREAT Satellite T230 FSB overclock by software apps. The core i3-330um, it's ok for the office and internet, but for CAD and applications, it took more power.
  Someone help me?

  I tried with RMclock, SETFsb and Crystalcpuid, but nothing happens.
  Thank you!!!

  Hi clucabest,

  If you need a laptop with more CPU power, why you didn t buy a laptop with faster processor?

  In addition, an overclocking feature does not for me. Everything will be controlled automatically to protect the equipment. Overclocking produces more heat and the cooling fan has not been tested with higher settings.

  In addition, you will lose the warranty if you overclock your laptop!

• Satellite T230-12 q - cannot load the battery

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite T230-12 q and have noticed that when the machine is on and running on the battery, and if I plug the power cord into the power adapter, the AC light on the laptop comes on but the charging light doesn't.

  If I put into hibernation or shutdown, the charge indicator lights up and the battery. Back-light the machine will continue to charge the battery, but if I remove the power cord and plug it back, it will stop to load again until I shutdown/Hibernate implementation.

  I think that my unit is maybe defective, can someone confirm? The bios was originally 1.00 then updated to 1.30, but the symptoms remain.

  In my opinion, everything goes well with your knees. Click on the power icon in the taskbar to see if it's loaded:

• Compatibility of satellite T230 and Windows 8

  Compatible with maybe, but not supported. The same problem is with my small NB520.

• Satellite Pro L300-1AQ only to charge the battery while the phone is in use

  I have a Toshiba SP L300-1AQ.

  In the last month we started having problems with it quit unexpectedly, even on power outlet.
  This morning I used it for about a half hour. When I started the battery level was 39% full, so I plugged it into the outlet. The fire area on the front of the laptop came and taskbar in Windows icon showed it was plugged and load (battery light was orange).

  After half an hour, I checked the battery and it was down to 16%. I turned down the brightness of the screen to try to reduce energy consumption, but less than a minute at the level of the battery was down to 15%. The toolbar icon and power lights both still power showing tasks. The power adapter was cold to the touch. I expect that it is hot. It seems to me that the power adapter does not provide enough power to run the laptop and recharge the battery. If the laptop is in sleep mode, the battery may charge.

  We need a new power adapter?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It's really hard to say what the reason is but first of all, I think its hardware problem and not software related.
  Maybe the card mother doesn t charge battery problem more or the AC/DC adapter is defective. So can you test another adapter AC/DC to a friend for example? It would be interesting to know because if an AC/DC adapter works it seems to be a problem with the motherboard.

  I don t have Satellite Pro L300, I only Satellite L300 but it works really well and I can t notice a problem with the battery charging. It s all ok again :)

• Satellite T130 - only 6 hours battery performance

  Hi people!

  Recently I bougth this laptop but I might have a problem. Toshiba promisses a 11 hours of battery life, but I, with 2 full charge and the battery saving mode, arrived at 6 hours max.

  Is this normal? Please, which she, give me your opinion.

  Take care

  Hey,.

  It is really hard to say something about it because everything is depending on the applications you run, display brightness, etc.
  Here are some tips of battery in good condition:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AZ0001R01.htm

  If you have tried only 2 full fees, you should try up to 3 times completely charge and discharge.
  After that the test again.

  If you think that something is wrong with your battery, contact your authorized service provider. They can exchange the battery.

• Satellite M100-165: energy saver indicates the lifetime of battery only in percentage

  On my M100-165, when using the laptop with the battery, the Toshiba Power Saver does not show the battery time remaining... only the percentage of the battery power.

  How can I change this?

  Hello

  On my laptop, Toshiba power Saver saver also displays time only with percent.
  But I unplugged the laptop AC adapter and the small power supply icon appears in the taskbar. Then I wait until the power goes up to 97-98% and go with my cursor over the icon. The time is then displayed in percent, the hours and minutes.
