Satellite U300-152: working time of battery is low

I see that my battery life of laptop newly purchased is low.
I tried to use the battery alone (not connected with sector and power adapter) and unloaded it completely until the computer went away by itself.

Then I plugged the adapter for the laptop to recharge the battery, an orange light flashes on battery to show charge, after hours of waiting while the computer is on, I checked the State of the battery in the bottom right of the screen, he says: it was already fully charged to 100%.

So I took out the power adapter to check how many hours would it take for the battery to use when the computer is turned on.
To my surprise, it only shows 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Does that mean my battery already have problems since its life expectancy is low only?
I read the user manual, the life of the battery must be at least 1.5 days before he will be discharged completely.

Can you enlighten us here?

Thanks for your answers...

> I read the user manual; the life of the battery must be at least 1.5 days before he will be discharged completely

What? 1.5 days! Sorry, but I don't believe that and I think that it is not possible using the U300 only to batteries.

I have an adapter Satellite A210 with a pre-installed Vista OS and I can run on battery for 1.5 hours

But let's talk about facts;
Is that battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
The battery was more quickly dump everything by watching movies or playing games.
If your race only some application like internet browser or Word and your screen brightness isn't defined at a higher level, and then the battery needed to dump more slowly.

Please don t forget something important. you have preinstalled Vista.
This OS eat laptops resources and needs more power than Win XP for example.

I read somewhere on the internet that a same notebook with Windows XP pre-installed would be much longer as with Vista preinstalled.

As you can see the battery working time depends on different factors.

    I couldn't find the sound and game controller in Device Manager so I'm frustrated. Its been 3 days now, I use the laptop without noise.

    Can you please help me in this matter?

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite U300-152
    Windows 7 Ultimate but not pre-installed (Vista Home has been the pre-installed)

    I tried to download the latest audio driver from realtek high defintion, but its still does not. Tried several restarts, System Restore, disable antivirus but does not yet.

    I don't know what can be the problem but the fact is that updates Windows update offers some drivers and, in general, you should not install their Mr. with other words, you should only use the drivers from Toshiba.

    What can you do now? Have you tried to reduce the OS to an earlier time (before installing updates) and check the functionality?

    One last thing. Software driver Sound should start with Windows, then please check MSCONFIG > startup if the sound software is listed and enabled it.

  • Satellite A210-1AP - work time battery issue

    How long is the working time for the laptop on battery life in secure mode enegry?

    Everything does not require the use of the laptop
    If you use a CD/DVD drive or if the display brightness is set to a value greater or if a CPU and a GPU is running with more performance then the battery working time would decline so it's really not possible to tell an exact value

    I have an A210 and I can use it for about 1 hour with the battery power but my display brightness is always set to a higher value and I use only one IE navigation in internet.

  • Re: Satellite A100-491 - Question on working time of battery

    Nice day

    1 year ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba A100-491.
    Now, I noticed for about a month the battery working time amounts to only about 20 min. So I wanted to watch it once in the Internet, how the time of the battery of my laptop is with distribution.

    Under this side I did then also found.
    http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=de&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 123290

    Technology: Lithium-ion battery maximum running time: until 02:00 (mobile Mark) HR.
    For me, it is clear that the battery working time decreases, after awhile, but around over a year and a half hours, I find already strange.

    What should I do now?

    Many greetings, JaPf

    Hello

    Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
    This means that if you run some heavy performance applications like games, video or graphics programs, then the battery performance would decrease very quickly.

    But if you use common applications like word, or you can navigate on the internet then the laptop should work a little longer.
    In this case, something might be wrong with your battery and the battery should be checked and replaced.

    Good bye

  • Re: Question on working time of battery on a Qosmio X 770 - 11 c

    Hello

    I got a 770 X - 11 c for 2 months now, and the battery life seems catastrophic.

    I expected to be short, but with the Eco mode on.

    Laptop was plugged all day I lit the night last battary and noticed that once in windows the battery see the load of 85% and less than 30 minutes, he was showing the 5%.

    This time was spent web browsing via wifi with the eco mode on.

    I believe, we should expect only about 45 min when the games, but I read the comments and docs tech showing 1 to 3 hours when just web browsing.

    I think 30 minutes is useless, it's not really a battery-powered device is a device with an integrated inverter >

    What time has everything the world of another summer do?

    Thank you

    Graeme

    Well, the page of the product Toshiba Qosmio - X 770-11 C provides information on the working time of maximum battery.
    Mobile Mark 2007 should be 2 h 30 min

    But in my opinion, it's just a theoretical value since the battery working time always depends on the use of the laptop.
    If you could get the 2.5 h only with low light and using low performance as browser internet for web browsing or similar applications.

    Play a game anywhere like HDD, CPU, GPU, cooling of modules even as the screen would go more high-performance and cela emissions and drain the battery very, very quickly

  • Satellite U300-152: keyboard keys are mixed up

    I have a newly purchased U300-152 with OS vista home premium 32-bit already installed by the distributor in Saudi Arabia.
    I observe some of the keys on the keyboard are mixed to the top for example shift + 2 should give us @ and shift +' (apostrophe) should give us "(quote), but the reverse is Maj sense + 2 gives me" (quote) and shift +' (apostrophe) gives me @

    Any solution for that to be corrected.
    What should I do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Buddy

    Don t worry, it s not a serious problem ;)
    It seems that you keyboard language settings don't match the keyboard layout.

    You can solve this problem very easily by changing the language settings in the control panel-> Regional Options control & language-> language-> details tab

    I guess that you keyboard language settings are set to English * (UK) * '. '.
    But maybe you should choose an English * (US) * to assign the right signals to the single keyboard keys.

    Check it out ;)

  • Satellite L30-105: Question on working time of battery

    I think of buying one of them, but the 1.5 hours battery life put me off a bit.
    Can someone give a review? It's all good, and not really the battery only last an hour and a half?

    Thank you. : o).

    Well, the laptop uses a standard 2000mAh battery PA3450U.
    The 2000mAh isn't exceptional value.
    The laptop should run with battery about 1 h 30 min.
    Of course real time depends on the use of the laptop.

    But you can upgrade the farm a much stronger battery;
    To my knowledge the mobile phone should support:

    Battery Pack (6 cells, 4300mAh) PA3399U-1BRS
    Battery (Li-ion, 4000mAh, 6 cells) PA3465U-1BRS
    Battery (Li-ion, 4300mAh, 8 cells) PA3457U-1BR
    Extended capacity battery (Li-ion, 6000mAh, 9 cells) PA3478U-1BRS
    Battery high capacity Pack (Li-ion, 12 cells, 8600mAh) PA3400U-1BRS

    The 8600mAh battery is about 4 times stronger than the 2000mAh

  • How long is the battery on the Satellite A100-813 work time

    Hello
    Could you please tell me battery time of this model?
    For the moment I can use only for max 3 hours, is that correct?

    Hello

    your 'just 3 hours' are really long. I wonder what battery pack you have? The 9-cell 6000 mAh?

    First to answer your question: Yes it's okay, 3 hours are really good for your machine and if it s really your runtime, then I can confirm.

    The other thing is if you could tell me what battery pack you have. You should just take out the battery to the rear of your machine and write what is written on the sticker.

    Would be grateful. :)

  • Satellite A50-452 works only with battery

    Sorry for my English. I hope you can understand and help me:

    My laptop works with the energy of the battery.
    A repair would be expensive.
    I'm going to replace the battery with a transformer. And now my question: which of the pins on the map, I must use? And that, what for?

    Thank you

    First of all, I would not recommend experimenting with batteries and transformers.
    Something like that could damage the motherboard.
    Secondly, I don't think that anyone here can give you a good answer because you need a diagram of the motherboard.
    In my opinion, these documents are available only to service partners and not for everyone.

  • Satellite U300 turns off when the battery has been removed

    Hello

    I'm on the laptop with the battery in place, and the power supply plugged in.
    That's when I take off the battery (always plugged power) who, after 5 seconds the laptop powers off.

    It's not happened before and now it happens ALL the time every time I have to remove the battery.
    I noticed that when the battery is removed, the battery light is always on – if for some reason any cell phone still thinks the battery is connected.

    For me, it looks like an electronic power supply problem.

    But it s just my personal opinion

    I think that the laptop should be checked by an authorized technician.

    Contact the ASP in your country and ask for verification

    If the warranty is valid then an everything should be done for free

  • Question on the working time of battery on Portege R500-12 s

    Hello

    We have a R500-12 s - Core 2 Duo U7700 1.33 GHz - 12.1 "TFT bought a few months running windows XP and it never watch a few hours of battery life remaining on the same XP battery indicator after a charge complete.

    This happens with the power plan best setting for the life of the battery under XP.
    I note that the Toshiba sales presentation text mentions a LIF battery of up to 8.5 hours, but can anyone else advise what dead battery they see leaving their R500?

    I put a battery calibration program in control panel/menu start - everyone has one? Thanks in advance.

    Hey Buddy

    You mean you want to run the laptop on battery for more than 8 hours?  :|
    Sorry, but I can't believe that I doubt that this is possible using the standard battery.

    AFAIK the R500-12 was equipped with the battery of 3 cells 2900mAh.
    Maybe you can run Notepad longer with a battery of stronger but I n t think only a 3a battery enough power for 8 hours.

    Visit the Web of Toshiba Options & accessories and you should find some stronger batteries for this laptop.

  • Satellite U300-152: DVD Player hangs after two chapters of the film

    I have read the DVD using Windows Media Player, Media Center and Player Toshiba DVD movie but he eventually hangs and does not continue.

    I tried another DVD movie but it's the same deal, it doesn't push through. Do you think that there is a problem in the DVD-ROM or is it just the DVD movie? Anyway, it's a hacked DVD, a copy, I bought cheap in sidewalks, but I thought that the DVD-ROM of this laptop could play anything, just?

    Spare part for my ignorance. I'm new with this stuff. Ciao. Thank you.

    > Its a DVD hacked a copy I bought cheap in sidewalks, but I thought that the DVD-ROM of this laptop could play anything, just?

    That s not quite right.
    Of course, the CD/DVD drive can read different media but sometimes it possible s that the CD or DVD media can be not fully supported by CD/DVD drive. That s nothing unusual

    But it would be very interesting to know if you can watch original DVD movies. ?:|
    I mean not a copy or something like that.

    If you will be able to watch different films on DVD, then there s nothing wrong with your CD/DVD drive.

  • Satellite U300-130 - TosBtMng has stopped working after installing Nokia PC Suite

    I have the same problem too... with Toshiba Satellite U300-130.

    Bluetooth worked well enough before I installed the Nokia PC Suite for my mobile on my PC (new version 7.1.26.0 Web site).

    To be correct, as a first step, I even managed to maintain a connection between the PC and the Nokia Bluetooth and ran the synchronization of the contacts. I tried several times, but each time synchronization run ended with the message "PC couldn't get response from your Nokia.

    After the reboot, my PC went crazy and started broadcasting the message "TosBtMng has stopped working" and it restarted every time that I ask him to close.

    Installation of the new version of BT Stack (6.40) does not resolve this error.
