• Satellite C50D - PC Health Monitor shows the low battery

  I bought a C50D a few days ago and noticed that when I ran the PC Health Monitor he showed the wear of the battery as poor. I tried a few full charge/discharge cycles and it does not seem to have improved the situation.

  Is this something that is likely to correct itself in the next a few charge cycles or could I have a duff battery - the health monitor is not too well to evaluate the battery charge.

  New batteries must be charged and discharged several times in line to achieve the best performance.

  I'm not quite sure how many times you have to repeat this procedure but I recommend you monitor the battery working time m.

  Of course, battery working time depends on the use of the laptop, but you should be able to see the improvement.

  > Now my wear and tear on the battery is at 50% of the full capcacity according to BatteryBar

  The health of the battery shows you the State of health of the battery and not the State of battery charge.

  > I can't get about 1.5 to 2 hours of life out of my laptop
  Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. What does that mean?
  Well, run the heavy performance software (games, video editing software, etc.), using the brightness of the light display or DVD movie playback would drain the battery quickly.

  1,5 - 2 hours of battery time is not bad. But of course; sooner or later each battery must be replaced. It s just a matter of time.

  Why my battery see the poor?

  Hello

  It is not unusual for new batteries.
  You know that batteries must be calibrated first to achieve the best performance.

  Calibration means that the battery must be fully charged and discharged and then until it s completely empty. This procedure should be repeated several times in the line. After that, you can check the status of the battery provided by new health monitor

• PC Health Monitor - assessment of the State of the battery on the L50T Satellite - A (2)

  I'm not allowed to add to the previous thread on this topic... it turns out that my question is not answered as monitor of my laptop is, after two days, returned to showing the battery in "fair" condition... because he did evidence the battery as in "good" condition I've charged the battery completely twice and always allow discharge to sub 10%... not partial at all.

  From my point of few PC Health Monitor software work properly but probably the battery is in good condition and as a result, you should check with a new battery.

• PC Health Monitor - assessment of the State of the battery on the L50T Satellite-

  Last week, I bought a brand new L50t-A-145 8.1 Windows running. Beautiful machine and apparently everything works perfectly.

  However when activating the PC Health Monitor, he recorded the drums as being in a State of 'fair'... which means that there ' a loss of capacity, but it will meet the needs of most users. For a new machine, it is simply not good enough... I have a P845t that is over a year who never recorded the State of the battery as in anything other than "good" condition.

  I did a number of things (which, I hasten to add, I never had to worry about the P845t or also any other Toshiba laptop)... (1) I charged the battery completely and let run for sub 10% at least 6 or 7 times; (2) I uninstalled PC Health Monitor and downloaded the latest version on the Toshiba site and reinstalled (3) I completely reset the computer. All to... nothing is done, the battery status still shows as that 'fair '.

  The reason for which I got a number of options, is that it seems to me there is nothing wrong with the battery... it does not seem to take longer than usual to load and I appear to get the proper use of the machine as she throws... my little finger tells me that there is nothing wrong with the battery.

  However, in contrast to previous cell phones, this one comes with the sealed battery (one wonders who the nutter who thought about this or has it been done to overcome the concerns of airport security and other?). Therefore, if it turns out that something is wrong with the battery, it would mean the withdrawal of the front rear and associates of concerns. Or is it strange reading symptomatic of another potential problem with the computer?

  So I am sending you the machine backwards, but requested, before, if anyone out there can think of something else I can do to check the situation?

  Please keep in mind, I'm not particularly bright when it comes to computers, so any advice must be specified for a layman to understand!

  Thank you very much.

  Thanks for the comments. I don't know what went wrong, but the essential is that everything is OK again.

  Discount to zero has been the good method to check the hardware and software features.

• Satellite A660-17 t - PC Health Monitor shows the problem with the battery

  I have an A660-17 t I've had since November 2010, I used a good amount, but not always on the battery, I believe that the battery has between 10 and 20 on this charge/discharge cycles.

  I have updated the BIOS to v1.80 when I got the laptop, everything seemed to go well. Recently, in the last 2-3 weeks health monitoring software reports that the battery is in poor health, showing that the capacity is reduced to 40% of the original capacity. I do not believe this like when I work on battery I get several hours of use.

  I have today updated BIOS v1.90, although there is no changelog that I can find, he says just "enhanced features" or similar.

  Is this really a faulty battery, or it is somehow that the software correctly reads the value of the capacity of the battery due to a change in Windows or another change in the system? I don't see how a battery can work for the same amount of time it has always done and actually have a fault.

  Any thoughts? Should I return it to the retailer and report an outage, or is it worth the wait to see if a future update of operating system or driver solves this problem?

  Thoughts welcome!

  Hey,.

  > I do not think this as when I work on battery I get several hours of use.
  This means that you have the same time remaining on battery as before you saw the error of the integrity PC monitor?

  In this case, it seems that the battery is ok and it's maybe s simply the wrong tool of Toshiba information. Then I recommend to reinstall PC Health Monitor, which you can download from the official website of Toshiba:

• Satellite L850 - 1 FG: PC Health Monitor shows the bad battery

  Greetings,

  Already after a little more than two months after the purchase of this laptop, the TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor indicates that the health of my battery is 'poor' (about 1/4 health left!) and I wonder what possibilities there are that this is a hardware fault, and if I can get a spare battery and where.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  I m not sure if its really a battery problem or failure.
  Maybe the battery needs to be calibrated several times in the line

  If the battery charge level is low, turn off all first battery should be completely discharged the automatic stand-by and the focus mode into hibernation.
  The battery must be completely empty. Then plug the AC adapter and charge it until the battery indicator would turn blue (or green).
  Then, unplug the AC adapter and start the discharge process
  Repeat this 3, 4 times and then check the health of the battery again.

• Tecra A11 - less than 10 ips in Skyrim on

  Hello
  I have a Tecra A11 i7 which came with a wiped HARD drive
  I installed win 7 pro and the drivers from the Toshiba site, including the pilot Intel Turbo Boost Technology.

  Even with all the settings set to low temperatures, vid Skyrim runs only less than 10 frames per second.
  I upgraded 4-8gig ram, but this did not help.
  The GPU is Intel, so I can't use Geforce experience.

  I have a Dell Vostro V131 i5 which takes place to better Skyrim.
  But the screen is smaller and i/o ports are 90% of dead, so I'd rather use the Toshiba.

  There are 4 "unknown devices" in Device Manager, but none of them look relevant.

  Does anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  To be honest, I have no reasonable explanation because I don't have this video game and can not test it on my Tecra A11 - 19M.
  In my opinion this Tecra is typical business very bad for the games and the machine for office work.
  It does not offer good graphics performance and it is not the best for gaming.

  I use it for daily activities and games use different model Satellite P with nvidia GPU.

• Tecra A11-110 (PTSE1E) does not load

  Hi all

  Recently my laptop stopped charging.
  The battery is new and worked for a while. It works on another laptop.

  When I connect the charger, the laptop gets power, but it does not load. I guess it's always work around.
  Is this a mistake in any sensor motherboard?

  How can I fix?

  Is the motherboard 'dead' (for this purpose)?

  Thanks in advance.
  See you soon,.
  Hugo.

  Have you noticed the problem of load using the old, original battery?
  If the old battery may be charged correctly, I don't think that there is a problem with the laptop.

  You said you have tested this new battery in a laptop.
  Have you tried using another model Tecra A11?

  Your comments would be appreciated.

• Tecra A11 - 11 L - fan still working

  I already turned on eco mode and 1 core CPU temperature is 22 ° C and core 2 is at 15 ° C.

  I have even an SSD in this laptop, so it should be cool and silent. Cold air comes out of my laptop and the whole case is still warm (really, I hit the computer laptop while at the top of the page down, everywhere!), but according to PC Health Monitor the rest fan continues to operate at 50%! It is certainly stronger than my old laptop.

  Is this a problem with my laptop, or the A11 series has this problem?

  You come in on the problems
  I put t see any problems
  The fan operates at 50% and therefore the temperature is low
  If the cooling module would not go, then the temperature would be much higher

  In any case, you can check the Win7/Vista power management.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=41

  In power management, you can set the performance of cooling on the lower level.

  I also recommend updating the BIOS. If a newer version is available, and then run the update.

• Satellite L510 - PC Health Monitor - could not get the Type of Bios

  Hi guys,.

  I m appeal for some help and hope that some of you experts out there may be able to help me!

  My laptop is a Satellite L510 bought November 2009
  Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit
  The version of the BIOS/Date: INSYDE, 1.30, 08/05/2009

  Problems:
  1 ReelTime (worm: 1.0.04.0) TC00210100H stopped working about 6 months ago, so I uninstalled it.
  2 PC Health Monitor (worm: 1.4.0.0) TC00148300O

  Value Added Package: Worm: 1.2.25 (TC00214700E)

  For a couple of weeks stop would take a little longer than before and last weekend he just stopped even if the battery is fully charged.

  I had a bit of a job to resume but I finally did, I came to the conclusion even if the hard drive was not.

  I then tried to open the PC Health Monitor, but this error appeared impossible to get the type of bios and obviously wouldn t open. I uninstalled PCHM programs and features and then ran TC00148300O.exe of
  C:/Program Files / Toshiba / TOSAPINS / COMPS1 / TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor - 1.4.0.0, it seemed something was going on but ultimately nothing has.

  I dropped while I needed to sort first on the hard drive. Long story short, the hard drive has been replaced by a SSD 840 EVO 250 GB by a friend of TI at work.

  I prefer like to get ReelTime and PCHM working again correctly troubleshooting (with your help) that I put t really want to restore back provided that the factory, but if I have to...

  If I have explicit instructions on how to do that would be a big help (if necessary I can also get my friend to help me).

  If I n t give any other specific information that you need please ask. I apologize for this long post, but thanks to anyone who responds.

  Hello

  If you replaced the HARD drive I recommend you to install original recovery image and start using your machine with the factory settings. After that it all will again be OK. Install important Windows updates current, your important software and I think that everything will be OK again.

  Software related questions can sometimes be very complicated. All you can try to do is remove pre-installed application, restart the computer and try to install it again.

  On BIOS I can just say that you shouldn't change anything.

  One last thing: I don t know how important ReelTime and PC Health Monitor are for you, but I removed the two applications on my system. In my opinion there is no much help from both of them, but they CPU utilization for the unnecessary process.

• Tecra A11 - problems of the more recent/video BIOS

  Hi all

  I just got a Toshiba Tecra A11 the other day which is out of warranty (Refurb). When I got the laptop there is a problem where the photo was displayed at 1024 x 768 and biased (in BIOS). Image 1-2cm off the screen to the left, with over the space of 5-6 cm black to the right of the picture, the low 2-3 cm of the image were also the bottom of the screen.

  I installed Ubuntu Studio initially and attempted to force the display to a wide screen resolution. I didn't have a chance, I also installed Win7, but still with the latest drivers, I had no chance.

  It was strange because the BIOS was displayed in the same way, so, naturally, I decided to upgrade to the latest version of the BIOS. The BIOS of the laptop is quite old (end of 2009).
  I downloaded the update to the BIOS of Toshiba web site and ran the update.

  The new BIOS has been installed and rebooted the machine.
  However there was no image displayed on the LCD screen, windows startup has done successfully, if I connect to an external monitor to the laptop I brush. When starting the laptop backlight LCD lights.

  My question is: what can I do to fix this? Is a tool of recovery or down to BIOS available? Is it possible to reflash the bios? What is recommended?

  Thank you.

  > The new BIOS has been installed and rebooted the machine.

  This means that everything is ok with the external monitor?
  You can access the BIOS by pressing F2 and you can set it to the default settings?

  Usually, you can switch between the external and internal view using the FN + F5 key combination. It work?

• Tecra A11 won't recover/restart of sleep

  Hi guys,.

  I have a TECRA A11 model no - PTSE1A - 00M 005.
  It has Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and is up-to-date on all windows update.

  When I click the power button and send it to sleep (power button / stop is set to sleep) or close the cover and he goes to sleep, I can't click the power button again and recover or restart from sleep. It doesn't do anything.
  Power, power sector and battery plug lights up green but the hard drive does not start, or I do not see the hard drive Led light up.
  I have to keep the power button for 5 seconds to stop the laptop, and then restart it.

  In addition to this, I also have times when the computer is turned off correctly, but when I go to start it, it won't start. As usual the left 3 lights, but the hard drive light does not illuminate. The fan starts, but the computer will not start. I have to press the power button again for 5 seconds for the computer, close and then restart. The second time round it always starts.

  This problem has me baffled for a while now and I can't find a solution for this.
  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Since when did you notice this kind of behavior?

  Try please set the BIOS to default settings and check the startup problem.

  FN + F3 to put the laptop into sleep mode, close the cover and after a few minutes open the cover and press the power button. The same problem happens again?

• Tecra A11 - 11N does not start after upgrading CPU

  Hello

  I would like to do an upgrade of the processor for my Tecra A11 i5 - 430 M 11N to a probably much faster i5 processor. I thought that the i5 - 580 M'd, but the laptop does not start when I installed this processor.

  I started the 430M, done some research on the internet and discovered that the 580 M has a very high FSB speed, and that is what probably does not work / not compatible with my machine.

  http://Ark.Intel.com/products/43537/
  http://Ark.Intel.com/products/49653
  http://Ark.Intel.com/products/49652

  and also http://ark.intel.com/

  Now, I went back to the computer store, returned the 580M and got an i5 - 560 M compared to its specifications as I've seen it would not compatible because it has the same speed of the FSB with the 430 M.

  I then later in the day tried to install this cpu as an upgrade, BUT alas!
  It STILL does not START ALSO.
  I was dumfounded left. The processors in the same line of the family are supposed to be compatible between them provided: lithography, FSB and socket type are similar.

  Or what I'm missing here?
  I did upgrades of CPU in many cases for desktop computers and laptops, and this is the first that has left me with no word to say!

  Please offer assistance or advice.

  Hello

  Recommend to check this doc from Toshiba:

  + Can I put th CPU, screen, or motherboard in my Toshiba laptop? +
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ35006D000RR01.htm

  Upgrading the CPU is not supported (officially).
  The point is that, even if the chipset would support the new processor, it would be possible that the laptop wouldn't start because of compatibility problems between the BIOS or other components on the motherboard and the new processor.
