Tecra A4 (PT40E): Power Saver problem

• Tecra M5 - Toshiba Power Saver did not do his job properly

  Hello

  After looking for a tool to silence my Tecra M5 awhile, I found an apparently nice application called Toshiba Power Saver. Unfortunately this tool doesn't seem to work properly. I played with the [slider cooling method | http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8008/powersaver.jpg] (click to see a picture) and here's how it works.

  The cooling method can be set to one of four options: battery optimized Performance, maximum Performance and cooling optimized, where one is supposed to be the quietest, and those of other more noisy.

  Assume that the cpu fan spins at high speed at the start and I do not have anything on my laptop. I move the cursor to the battery optimized setting, click on apply and the fan (instantly) slows down (yay!). Then I need to do something about hunger for a while and finally the fan turns up the noisy power level. I then doing nothing of the brand-new, but the fan is like that * ever *. The processor is as cold as ice, the air is blown could freeze the fingers, but the fan spins like crazy to wake up my neighbours on the road.

  I'm really sure that the cpu is cool? Yes. Why?
  Because when I move the slider for Performance affecting now and click on apply the fan slows down (right) and remains like that until I start working on something new. Then I stop doing what I was doing and the continuous spinning fan * ever * once again.

  So I change the method of cooling for battery optimized setting back again once, click on apply and the fan slows down... and so on and so forth, stuck in a vicious circle.

  The key to success here is keep pressing the button apply, which the Power Saver application should do from time to time and not me and not forgetting what it is here for.

  What is the problem with this app? Is there a fix available (or alternative)?
  The version I have is 7.11 and runs on XP Pro SP3.

  Hello

  What about your ad here?

  TOSHIBA Power saver is tool Toshiba use for years and it is preinstalled on 98% of all models of Toshiba laptops. So, in my opinion, this tool is certainly one of the best and most effective tool designed by Toshiba.

  Over the last 10 years, I have worked with many Toshiba laptops and I used this tool on each laptop to optimize my work. Mix between the good performance of the processor and method of cooling level offers enough power for each working day and with a low level in the method of cooling laptop runs pretty quiet.

  Maybe stupid sounds now, but I have noticed that the Portege notebooks are, perhaps, more sensitive and using tool electric saver you cannot have the same effect as on certain portable Satellite and Tecra.

  I do not think that this tool doesn't work properly on your Portege but Portege laptops have a specific design and material may reach a higher temperature faster than on the other laptop models.
  Portege laptops have excellent and powerful material packed in a box of small notebook.
  Sometimes laptop runs quiet and if you just connect the USB mouse the cooling fan starts to run strong enough. A small business can speed up physical activity and if temperature sensors have noticed a higher temperature for a degree C only, the fan control mechanism get information starts to cool the fan turns.

  It is really not easy to tell if there is something wrong or right. My personal opinion is that everything is OK. You can try to talk with the service of Toshiba. Call them and ask for explanations. They should have enough experience with this stuff.

  In any case, good luck!

• Tecra A9 - Blocking Power Saver - fatal error code: 0 x 2

  Hello

  Today, when I turned on my computer the energy saver has started planting.
  I rebooted the computer several times and the result is always a fatal error has occurred. The program will end. Code: 0x2.

  Even this error appears when I try to reinstall the application.
  Perhaps it has something to do with SP3, I have installed a couple a days ago.

  Someone has an idea?

  Martin Vassilev.

  I saw this error for a long time with Windows XP Home edition. In my opinion it has nothing to do with SP3.
  My experience says that you will not be able to solve this problem. There is something wrong in the registry entries and reinstalling will not help.

  One method can help, OS install new one, more radical using recovery media.

• Problem with Toshiba Power Saver Tecra S1

  Hello

  I have problem with Toshiba Power Saver (GST).
  I installed SP2 on my WinXP Pro, and after this operation, all works well. After a few days GST on icon disappear from the task bar. When I open the Console from Toshiba, then GST I can see only incomlete standard dialog box. There is no configuration icons, but initially were, and I set all the settings. Now, there are 4 black boxes (2 small as a small icon) and 2 large as icon bigest at the bottom and a large black on the right.
  I try to reinstal GST, but it had no effect.

  Can someone help me

  Alex

  Hello Alex

  I have never seen anything like it. There is obviously some problems that doesn t allow the graphic illustration of the ATP. The first step is always reinstalling the software. I don't know what you need to do exactly. In my opinion, you should try to remove the GST and SP2. Install SP2 again and after this GST.

  If there is not the worst success solutions are preinstall the device using the recovery CD.

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall the Toshiba power saver utility?
  Please do it!

  I had a similar problem of Eve on my laptop satellite.
  I finally solved this problem by reinstalling the energy saving and the utility of Modules common Toshiba.
  The common modules are required to run other programs from Toshiba as for example energy saving.

  Just another clue; especially this program error appears because of a corrupted registry.
  You can use the freeware like CCleaner to clean the registry entries.

  Best regards

• Cannot wake up afer screen turned off by Power Saver on Tecra M5

  Tecra M5; XP SP2.
  Disabled screen saver.
  Toshiba power saver set to turn off the monitor after 10 minutes.

  Once off, I can't get the monitor to turn back.
  I tried different combinations of keys fn and function, but nothing helped.

  Only solution seems to be to send Hibernate (off button is set to hibernate).
  Screen comes on to say hibernation and works fine after a reboot. Not a critical but very irritating error

  Great Robin! Thanks for the link.

• Strange problem with Power Saver on my Satellite M30

  My laptop connected via the mains supply, is quite well. However, when it is not connected (i.e. use it on battery), it shows 100% battery up to 90%, when I get an error window Windows "Toshiba Power Saver must be closed, you want to send an etc error report" and then my battery on the taskbar becomes critical - 3%.

  In addition, at this stage, my processor speed slows down (which is notable because applications take longer to load etc.) as if the laptop is happening in energy saving mode. I thought that maybe this is a display error, so I left the laptop on just to see - and turns off 5 minutes later!

  What is a software error or a bad battery? Any help appreciated.

  Best regards.

  Hi John,.

  I think you may have a bad battery, but just to be safe, I would recommend that you recharge the Toshiba power management software, and then check the default settings for the actions to be taken with display brightness, speed of the processor, hard drive, etc. at the various stages of the battery capacity.

  It is normal that the brightness of the screen to reduce in stages, as the battery capacity decreases, and it is also normal that the speed of the CPU to slow down as well. You can change this behavior if you want to leave in the Toshiba power management utility.

  Kind regards

• Power Save Polling (PSP) leads to problems in connection with some access points

  Symptoms:
  The following symptoms may be seen if an access point Wi - Fi (AP) or router Wi - Fi broadband does not properly support the Power Save Polling (PSP) feature:

  • Intermittent loss of Wi - Fi
  • Unable to open a connection Wi - Fi
  • Poor Wi - Fi connection data performance

  These symptoms may be more pronounced when on battery.

  Cause:
  The PSP mode is a feature that provides the long battery life for laptops. It requires coordination between the AP or router and the Wi - Fi adapter. Intel has discovered that some APs or routers may not implement the feature correctly or completely.

  Socorro

  Heard different things people try, depending on their wireless adapter.

  Start, control panel, device, netowrk, their adapter, power management Manager. Clear the checkbox to allow windows to turn off this device to save power

  Start, control panel, device, netowrk, their adapter, advanced management. Looking for antenna diversity. Some cards have it and others don't. Replace the Auto antenna by supply diversity

  Some have disabled Wireless N of their card and achieved good results.

  Some Wireless N adapters operate ONLY on the 2.4 GHz frequency.

  Using these parameters of the recommended wireless router I use channel 11, have GREAT results. I usually recommend creating a new SSID to make the connection easier. Wireless devices also needs to connect to the NEW network.

• TOSHIBA Power Saver replaceable by SpeedSwitchXP?

  Hi people,

  as I've seen here in the forums a lot of users of Toshiba laptops has the problem of a noisy and often fan running. The Toshiba Power Saver 1.27.2.1 installed on my satellite M30X-167 seems to not have the feature of switching on the CPU to load dynamic processor.

  There SpeedswitchXP - CPU frequency for mobile control Windows XP on http://www.diefer.de/speedswitchxp/index.html

  Does anyone of you have a positive experience with the help of other register controls as the original from Toshiba?
  Doing dynamic CPU speed control significantly reduced the activities of fan?

  Best regards and greetings from the Germany
  Joerg

  Hi Joerg

  I had already installed on my Tecra M1. It worked fine, but I n t notice a big difference. Can you please tell me what laptop do you have?

  In my opinion, you can try to install it. On my unit SpeedSwitch works properly without any problem, but AFAIK the tools as it works well on laptop computer desktop map mother don t allow this tool may have information on the temperature or things like that.

  As I said you can try it.
