• Battery does not charge even if the adapter plugged

  My battery not charging at all well connected and maintain what power he has remaining.  Logging on I was informed "reinstall the power adapter" - anyone know what it means.  I checked the battery life that is healthy and does not need replacement again.  Thank you.

  I think "reconnect the power adapter" means to be
  that everything is securely connected.

• Satellite A300-1BZ - new battery does not charge

  Hello

  I bought a new battery (PA3534U-1BRS) because my old battery (3 years) hold office as well as it should!
  The new battery will not charge, the Red battery light suggesting everything of fine, but then begins to Flash after 20 minutes.
  When I turn on the computer the battery indicator on the taskbar in Vista tells me the device is turned on, but the battery won't charge.

  The company where I bought the battery has issued me with a replacement, but I'll always have the same problem.
  They have listed the battery as a genuine, and there any labelling even as my old battery.

  The battery would be false or toshiba has changed the specifications of this battery in particular.
  The reason for my last statement is the fact that my old battery contacts look more apparent than those on the new.

  I have no reason to believe that the company is not kosher because I returned the first battery to address personally after realizing that they were on my doorstep!
  Fake or not compatible?

  The comments appreciated.
  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Maybe you used the battery is not compatible, but AFAIK the PA3534U-1BRS is designed for Satellite A200 A300 L300 L300D
  So it should work.

  However, I recommend buying a battery of origin of Toshiba ASP.

  Contact a local Toshiba authorized service partner and order a new compatible battery for this laptop.

  I think the new battery should work.

  Hello

  Don't forget to turn off the computer - remove the a/c power - then remove the battery
  and check to see if any corrosion on the contacts. If so try to clean
  with a pencil eraser. Check with Dell Support and Forums for methods more.

  Check with Support from Dell, their online documentation, diagnostics, drivers, and ask
  Dell forums about known issues. Some manufacturer issued BIOS and other updates
  for help with battery problems.

• Satellite A30 PSA30E - battery won't charge

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30 laptop ((n° de pièce = PSA30E-00E5-FR) and recently when plugged in, the battery is not, in fact he tell Chargers.) When the laptop is turned off, if you plug the battery icon orange lights and charges of battery, but when you start the laptop to halfway through start orange icon battery turns off and the battery won't charge. If you start the laptop just using the battery once it is in place and ongoing enforcement if you plug the nothing happening for example the battery charge orange icon does not illuminate.

  The power is always on the laptop the screen stays on its setting of intensity, but the laptop turns off when the battery runs down to 0%.
  I removed the battery and tried power the laptop just using the power grid, but the laptop does not turn on.

  Any ideas what wrong?

  If it is the battery which batteries would be compatible with my laptop to replace and how do 2nd hand/battery cost these days for my laptop?

  My battery model number = PA3250U-1BRS
  K000002280

  I found a battery on a site that resembles a Toshiba Satellite A35 (don't remember if it's A30 or Pro A30) - looking at the Toshiba Satellite A35, it's the same as my Toshiba Satellite A30 it would be compatible?

  Thanks for your time...

  Hello

  Eventually it s a battery but problem is just a suggestion.
  I do not recommend buying a second hand battery because second hand battery will discharge a lot faster.
  In my opinion, you should buy a new one.

  I googled a little bit for PA3250U-1BRS and found a few deals online, it seems that you can get it for 50-60 euros

  Regarding the battery A35.
  I think that it should be compatible with your laptop. The A35 is a Toshiba US series (A30 is the European model) and it of very similar to A30.

• Satellite Pro L500: amber flashing indicator - battery won't charge

  When power charge light blinks yellow.
  Battery does not charge and if the battery has been removed the laptop stops.

  When this problem does not occur.

  In addition, when the power cord is removed, battery charge for a few moments then yellow flashing lights and load stops. When the stop, the battery charges normal and 100% charged battery gives almost 4 hours of time.

  Can you please guide on the problem. Is the power supply problem? or the battery? or the card mother/material?

  How to check the problem?

  It seems that you already posted a similar topic topic with your laptop a few years ago.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=63225

  In the first case, it seems that your battery was the troublemaker.

  You are talking about charging light. I m not very well what LED it should be.
  There are 5 LEDs - from left: DC IN / power / battery / HDD, ODD / Bridge Media Slot

  The first DC IN indicator lights green when power is form adapter correctly provided HQ. However, if the output voltage of the AC adapter is abnormal or if power outages computers, this LED will turn off.

  The second left power led lights green when the laptop is turned on. If turn you the phone mode standby, this indicator flashes orange.

  The third battery indicator show the conditions of the accusation of pulp. Green indicates that the battery is fully charged, orange indicates the battery is charging and orange blinking indicates a low battery level.

  Question:
  Are you able to turn on the unit without the battery, but using only an adapter connected?
  Usually, this should be possible even if the battery isn't inserted.

• My laptop is plugged in, but the battery won't charge

  Hello

  In the last two months, capability of my laptop to charge its battery has degraded.
  She went to a battery completely (100%), not being able to load beyond 98% and then 66% and 30%, and now finally, it says "0% availability (plugged in, charge)", but it never increases support.

  Thus, the laptop works when plugged into the charger, but does not illuminate when it is attached only on the battery.

  I rebooted the computer several times - first to stop the machine, then unplug it, remove the battery, press and hold the Start button for a minute, then put the battery back, plug the charger in and rebooting the machine.

  I installed updates for "Stacks" (IE. Microsoft AC adapter, compatible ACPI Microsoft control method battery and battery Composite Microsoft) in Device Manager.
  I also uninstalled the Microsoft ACPI complaint method stack and shutdown and restarted the laptop several times.

  Earlier I called Toshiba support and update the BIOS of 1.50 to 1.70, then restarted the computer, but yet again, the battery won't charge.

  I bought a new battery, which showed that it was fully charged when when I have attached to my laptop, but when exhausted 0% load, I got the same message as for the other battery: "0% availability (plugged in, load).

  I am really puzzled. If not, how can I try to increase the capacity of my laptop battery?

  In my opinion, old battery was certainly defective.
  Is your new original battery, Toshiba battery or any part of third-party product?

  It seems that the adapter has gone wrong, I suggest you to connect another card and see if the problem still occurs.

• Is satellite U400 - 17 H - possible to change some parameters of the screen?

  I bought my Satellite U400 - 17 H in Paris in spring 2009 with the hope to work on my laptop without eye discomfort. My laptop TOSHIBA Satellite A100 husband s has a very comforting display and I was hoping to find the same screen for the Advanced series of Satellite U400 - 17H. Unfortunately for me, my sore eyes as soon as they fill the screen.

  Thank you!

  Hey Lionel,.

  I put t really know what problems you have with Satellite U400 but friend of mine has it and in my opinion the screen is as good as other portable also. I put t see any problems with the quality of the screen, everything is really good.

  It is important that you use the native screen resolution and 60 Hz. This will give you the best image quality.

  About these privacy filters I've never used them but I doubt that will improve the quality

• Satellite L500 - battery won't charge

  Hello

  I had a problem last week - my laptop (Satellite L500) works well on alternating current, but the icon shows "plugged in, not load ' and the battery charge is at 0%. So if I remove the outgoing cable it runs immediately. Lighting load LED on the front of the battery is not more.

  Laptop is a little more than two years, but works well, everything original Toshiba (battery and charger). I had noticed recently that the battery life was not what it was when lappy was new, but it lasted at least 45 minutes or more, so I knew the battery was endangered, but it is hard to believe it's just failed when two weeks ago could load and run OK?

  Any ideas?

  See you soon,.
  Rebecca

  > so I knew the battery was on the exit door but find it's hard to think he's just failed when two weeks ago could load and run OK?

  I think that nothing is impossible, that it means that the battery could be defective.
  Of course, it is my personal opinion, but I see only two possibilities: either its battery problem or motherboard problem.

  So if I was you, I would check if the problem persists with a new battery tested.

  By the way: you can also view this short work around:
  -disconenct the battery and ac adptor
  -Press the button power (30-40 seconds long)
  -connect the battery and AC adapter and turn on the device
  -to check if the battery can be charged.

• Satellite A300 - battery won't charge

  I have a Satellite A300 - 21 H, which does not charge the battery, I tried a supply of replacement batteries and power with the same result, he said that they connected and charging the battery but in fact is not. Laptop works perfectly on power supply or battery, OS is windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.

  Hey,.

  Have you tried to charge the battery while the laptop is turned off or on?

  In your case, it would be test when the laptop is turned off. So you can make sure that is not a problem of software of s. check also if the LEDs for charge and connected adapter are on or off.

  In the worst case there s a motherboard related problem because you have already tried a new battery and charger so I think that there is nothing more you can do, but it s my personal opinion

• Re: Satellite M60-188 - battery won't charge

  Hello

  I recently received a Satellite M60 and this morning when I plugged back the charger the battery indicator in the taskbar has shown a full battery when there was in fact only 4% left. And sudenly my computer stopped after a few minutes bipping because the battery is low.

  It's my second Satellite (the other was aM70 and I changed the battery and the charger of the M70, but the problem remains the same) and now with my M60, it seems to be exactly the same problem (I only got the M60 for two weeks), I don't understand how the battery may already be damaged after 2 weeks.

  If anyone can help me, thanks

  Hello

  I guess that your new laptop Satellite M60 was not new and it s a laptop second hand. Then the battery and the adapter AC Lentivirales, second hand, coins, or you use the Satellite M70?

  However, I think that your battery is simply defective and must be replaced. If your laptop works with the AC adapter plugged there should not be a problem with the motherboard I think but a laptop technician can check this

• Battery won't charge on my Satellite A110

  6 months ago my adapter stopped working. I replaced it with a universal which works well for some time. Then I had a problem.
  When I connect the adapter to the laptop the blue light indicating the power supply Burns ok. The battery light turns orange for 10 seconds, then it turns off, then 10 sec on. Once these last 10 seconds turns off and stays off.

  It does when the computer is turned on and when it is off. In the windows taskbar is said "" battery not charging "". "" I bought a new battery. I could charge the battery new and after some time the problem occurs again. The laptop worked fine for two weeks then didn't it gives the same problem again.

  Does anyone have an idea what this could be? Adapter? (I tried several of them with the supply voltage and amperage, battery (both give original and new battery same problem) or the motherboard?)

  Hi mate

  BIOS update may help. Don't know if this solution applies to your Satellite A110 but it worth the try
  However, it is also important that you use a power adapter compatible and original. The use of the wrong adapter could affect recharge the battery and it could be possible only after some time of use, the battery could damage

  I think that the question of the motherboard would be possible also, but in my opinion, the use of original and compatible parts is essential.
