Tecra A8 - 103 - battery flat after only 14 months

After just 14 months on my Tecra battery appears to be dead. I said 'just' because of, I got Toshiba Satellite and after 2 years of daily work, on Satellite battery lasted longer than on Tecra Tecra,!
Seems to be more geared towards professionals then Satellite Tecra? Hmmm

In any case, I really tried to keep the battery in good shape, that is why, at least once a week, I plugged the power cord off and Tecra to run on battery, just to let the battery, at least once a week completely empty left and then recharged.

But he was evidently just wasting time, because of, the battery now lasts 7-8 minutes!

The question is: what is the time 6/12/xx months? Toshiba ensures the battery will last as it should when the computer is new?

I mean, this isn't a problem, I'll buy the new battery, but I'm really disappointed by this situation. I wasn't expecting Toshiba!

Hello

As far as I know EACH laptop manufacturing offers only _one year warranty for the battery packs_.
Why? Because it s nothing unusual that the battery would start to lose own performance after a period of use.

AFAIK after over 500 times of loading/unloading procedures, the battery will begin to lose performance.
This means reduces the battery life and someday you need to replace.

My computer laptop doesn t work on battery power. The power of the battery takes about 2 min same it s fully charged. I know that I should replace, but I use this laptop as desktop Pc. It s always plugged in.

Welcome them

  • Satellite C855-18J-battery low after only 9 months

    Hi all

    I bought my C855-18J Satellite in October, there is, so just 9 months, and since last night, I get the message to consider changing my battery! I've never seen a battery that doesn't last even a year... How is that possible? and if I want a new one it's more expensive than 100dollars (excluding P & P)...

    They are now on low batteries?

    It is my first Toshiba computer (used from other brands before).

    > I've never seen a battery that doesn't last even a year... How is that possible?
    Possible is everything

    > and if I want a new one, it is more expensive than 100dollars (excluding P & P)...
    As far as I know the laptop is covered by the standard warranty that is valid 12 months.
    Then why you n t contact your dealer or a service of Toshiba and ask the new part/difficulty under conditions of warranty?

    In my eyes without any doubt the best solution here

  • Is it possible to remove photoshop after only one month?

    Hello

    I need photoshop for a project of the UK but only for a week or two. Is it possible to cancel my account after the first month without having to pay for the entire year?

    Thanks in advance,

    Harriet

    If you are on a monthly plan, you can cancel without penalty. If you are on an annual plan, then there may be a penalty for early termination. Please see:

    FAQ: How to cancel my membership creative cloud?

    FAQ: What is the difference between an annual plan and monthly plan?

    FAQ: Where can I find the terms of membership and the terms of use?

    If you cancel within the first 14 days of an annual plan, you will probably get a full refund.

  • Second SSD dies after only 13 months

    Hello

    I read the topic of the 'death of SSD on Aspire S7' on this forum.

    Having posted the following comments on it I thought that I would do better to start a new and share my progress with you.

    ----

    I read with interest the previous comments on the early failure rate, but what are the chances to get a reliable drive before the warranty runs out?

    I had the SSD on my M5 fail after about 7 months. Acer it replaced under warranty, but it has just failed again one month out of warranty. So 2 doesn't have a SSD in 13 months. Tech support said there is nothing they can do, but take care to have a replacement mounted. This doesn't seem fair to me. Not all happy.

    I'm waiting now dept UK_Escalations get back to me.

  • Satellite L670 - hard drive dead after only 8 months

    Hello

    This morning I return my laptop due to defective hard drive problem. After 8 months, he is already dead.

    The positives are: I'm still under warranty and the second the software toshiba hilighted me from time to time, allowing me to back up my data before the crash. TKS Toshiba for this very useful tool.

    The question is: how a hard drive die that fast after fews month only?

    Bad luck or bad use? I wonder.

    I wish to have feedback from those L670 who owns the same model (windows 7), to understand if this problem is common or if I was unfortunately concerned.

    Also, if there are possible solutions to avoid the stress of the HD for daily use? As for example, reduce writing on this subject (save blu - ray using AnyDvD HD on hd, then cut & paste for external hard drive), or connect too often external hard drive in order to avoid the extra electricity if necessary?

    In the future, I have to perform chkdsk more often? Defrag? If Yes, how often?

    This is my 3rd phone dying, Sony VAIO = mothercard dead after 1.2 years, Fujitsu Amilo xi = exploded after 3 years and now Toshiba HD after 8 months.

    900EUR up to 1600EUR, I do not see significant resistance of one of these models, Sony was the badest ever in terms of longevity of the video card and compatibility (unplayable games after 2 months, no update of the driver), keyboard 'paint' was a mess with deterioration after fews month compared to Fujitsu and Toshiba (no points). Toshiba L670 most recent, was the best in terms of game compatibility.

    What should do? Stop buying the laptop or use only fews hours a day with a PC on top?
    For time beeing I can't afford to have a PC + a computer laptop that I'm unemployed, surviving with 10EUR per day.
    time to find a new job.

    Despite this, I managed to buy the new book of the cooler Zelman for my Toshiba 40/50EUR all about, but it did not help apparently.

    TKS for your comments about life duration L670 and particularly problem HD + best use to protect it.

    Guillaume

    In my opinion the answer is clear: no chance.

    In any case, don t think too much on the use of the laptop. Cell phone is designed to operate for a long period, then there is no reason to reduce the time to use on your Toshi.
    I use my laptop to work on a daily basis and it works at least 10 hours a day, sometimes one night too many.
    Just be careful that your laptop is placed on the desktop, the cooling fans must not be blocked by what it is.
    All that s.

  • I think that my rocket died after only two months

    Hi, I do not get my rocket to show me the signs of life and more.

    Two days ago, I forgot to turn off so the battery was as empty as it can get. I fully charged it yesterday, but when I used my rocket for half an hour some time ago, he went himself after an end of the song. I couldn't get it working again and it does not even react now that I plugged on may PC (the USB Ports at the back!).

    Y at - it something left, I could try to revive?

    Sounds like it's just frozen.  Keep the switch ON for 10-15 seconds, release and new power.  It is the function of soft reset .

  • Has the option of controlling battery Tecra M11-103?

    I've seen Dell Vostro my brother and it has a feature that when you plug your laptop to AC you can jump the battery, so he lives more than if you go out.

    I have a Tecra M11-103. Have this feature?
    Thnx

    Hi lamacova,.

    I agree with Quad, such an option is not available I think. I've never heard

    But in general the battery will pay no more if it s at full charge. So it of not necessary to remove the battery. :)

  • Z10 blackBerry dead after only 5 hours battery

    I don't want happened to my Z10, but after only 5 hours and no use a fully charged battery is dead. I bought a new battery but no change. I wish there was an option to completely reinstall the operating system. I have installed all apps

    Always start with a battery pull when something goes wrong with your phone.  There could be something in the operating system that is not aware and a battery pull will often correct this.  To make a correct battery pull, remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it.

    I hope that helps you.

    Hello

    According to tender specifications that your Tecra has been delivered with preinstalled WIN7 64 bit PROFESSIONAL and you have DVD extra WXP. Original recovery Win7 image was recorded on the HARD drive and use preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator you have had the opportunity to backup recovery image and create the installation of bootable recovery disk.
    How it works is described in the document s user manuals.

    I put t know if you created this disk but now after installing Windows XP Home edition, you need the recovery disc. Of course, if you want to have the factory settings, you need this record. Otherwise, you can obtain the Microsoft installation disc and install Win7. Download page for all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from Toshiba.

    I hope you understand the situation, but if you have any other questions do not hesitate.

  • Battery drains after 20 minutes on a full charge

    My iPad Air first generation is having problems with the battery. After I fully charge the device at 100% the percentage will remain the same for about 15 minutes before going down to 20% before closing in on itself after 20 total minutes of usage time. I never downloaded anything or access anything that was suspicious and I only use app store apps. It happened for about 6 months and its very frustrating.

    Try to download the app from the battery life which is available for free on the App Store. Check the battery with it and if defective, schedule an appointment in an Apple store for eventual replacement.

    If your device does not load, try the procedure described in this article from Apple:

  • Qosmio G10: Low battery - off after 20 min work life

    Hi, I have a G10 for 1.5 years. Last week, the battery 'stops' after about 20 minutes of work. The one second it shows 88 percent and the second second is completely and you need to plug in the adapter again.

    No idea what's wrong here? A battery may indeed be dead like this and so sudden?

    Two related questions:
    -J' still have the laptop in standby mode. I guess that can affect the performance of the battery, correct?
    -Since I was the battery, I was always able to work approximately 1 to 1.5 hours on battery (normal internet navigation stuff). I always thought that this is normal given the notebook power. Today, I met someone who had a notebook of power simlar (other brands) but was able to work 5 hours! So, what is normal for a G10?

    Thank you

    Hello

    For me, this looks like a malfunction of the battery.
    I read somewhere on the net that battery life will be reduced after 500 time of loading/unloading procedures.
    In addition it of important how you manage the battery. Generally, the battery must be freed and then you can charge the battery again.
    It would be a process of optimum loading.

    I have always the battery if I work with the main power supply. This should not be necessary with a new generation of batteries and laptops but I do this and my battery performance even more.

    You wrote something on the use of cell phone only 5 hours on battery.
    Unfortunately, but I don t think that. Of course, there are different batteries (9-cell, 12 cells, etc.) supporting better performance, but I put t think it's possible to use the powerful laptop with battery for 5 hours. The G10 uses a 2 hard drives, powerful graphics card, 16:10 display (TruBrite). Sorry, but all this characteristics need power.

    However, in my opinion, you must replace the battery. Visit the accessories options 7 Toshiba for batteries compatible and very powerful

  • T61 battery dead after 19 cycles?

    Hey all, I'm new to the forum so please, be gentle.

    I have a little problem with my T61 battery.  I usually use my system as you would for a desktop PC, which means that the battery has cycled only 19 times since I got it back in 2007.  Yesterday, the battery was perfectly fine to my knowledge.  Today, I wake up and see the light flashing orange battery.  Opening the program Power Manager tells me that my battery status is "poor".

    Here's what all he said.

    Battery information:

    Status: No activity

    Remaining percentage: 0%

    Remaining capacity: 0,00 Wh

    Full load: 42.49 Wh

    Current: 0.14 A

    Voltage: 9.68 V

    Power consumption: 1.32 W

    Temperature: 29 ° C

    Number of cycles: 19

    Manufacturer: SONY

    Manufacturing date: 2007-12-01

    First use date: 2007-12

    Serial number: 1305

    Bar code number: 1ZEAV7C118S

    FRU part number: 92 p 1141

    Unit of Chemistry: Li-ion

    Nominal capacity: 56.16 Wh

    Design voltage: 10.80 V

    When I click on the button "Battery maintenance", the system stops.  No prompt "Windows is shutting down", it's as if someone pulled the plug without battery inside.

    System Stats:

    Windows 7 Edition Home Premium x 64

    6 GB of Ram

    HARD DRIVE 500 GB

    Battery stats:

    Bar code #: 1192P1142Z1ZEAV7C118S

    FRU P/N: 92 P 1141

    ASM P/N: 92 P 1142

    What I don't understand, is why I only got 19 cycles of the battery.  Would it be a bad battery?  I ran the Battery Recall program to see if mine was one that was recalled, but he said that it is not.  The system never actually ran off the power to the battery for more than 20 minutes (we had a power outage because the pole transformer blew).

    Any help is appreciated.

    A battery at least 20% charge remaining should be an easy score for $10 or more. If you use it to dock, he will serve only as a backup and could save your hardware and your data while keeping the system crashing in a situation of loss of power. You can then install power manager for Hibernate or shout down after that 1 min on, so your battery enough to make success must stop.

    Generic batteries are another option, just do not get fakes unbranded, they tend to ignite.
