• Tecra M10 - 11U - on Windows 7 battery problem

  Deal all,

  I'm a happy user of a Tecra M10 - 11U use it mainly for businesses since the beginning. 2009 A few weeks, my company has decided to control Windows 7 on selected computers, upgrading to Windows Xp and Vista to Windows 7 32 bit. Unfortunately, shortly after the upgrade, a message "consider replacing your battery" appeared and quickly reduced battery performance. Consider that it used to last about 2 to 2.5 hours with XP and now it only lasts for 25 minutes. I checked several forums and the issue seems to be known to Microsoft, accusing the sellers for not releasing appropriate drivers ACPI. In some cases, the problem solved after the release of an updated firmware.

  Does anyone else has the same problem with their Toshiba laptop? And if any has an idea on how we could solve it? Also, a serious side effect of the problem is the complete battery destroy leading sooner or later the laptop to be transformed to dektop beeing constantly powered and pluged. So if anyone from Toshiba has the slightest idea on how we could prevent the Burnout full battery, please let us know!

  Hello Manos

  I have Tecra M10 but use Satellite A300 and Qosmio x 300. Two laptop computers were shipped with Vista, but a few months I use Win7 on two laptops. I must say that I have not noticed something similar to your problem described. Autonomy of the battery and the performance is equivalent to everything in fact as before.

  Is that Tecra M10 is supported for Win7 and everything should work fine.
  In my view there is not much you can do about it. Everything you can possibly try is do BIOS update and make your own and clean install of Win7 with all the available drivers, tools and utilities.

  If the problem persists, I think that you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Here you will not become a Toshiba statement about it so maybe is the track of service contact to learn more about this issue. They have access to the database of Toshiba or they can communicate with people of Toshiba and ask for good information.

• Fuze 4 GB warning disconnect and reconnect to Windows 7 pc... when the battery is low.

  So I just got a rocket and I love it.  Done a good deal about it.  Windows 7 picked it up and transfer of music is not a problem when the unit is fully charged.

  What IS a problem, is that when the battery is low and I have to plug the "rocket" on my PC to load... it keeps connection / disconnection.  The program of control of rocket guard Center popping up and go, arise and disappear... frustrating.  I tried the DPW and MCP modes (actually in DMC mode on the control panel is not everything and it does not recognize that the device is connected).  I've tried different USB ports.  No hub at issue here.

  Here's the kicker... If I load the "rocket" first (plug into a USB Kindle charger), once it has loaded it connects very well.

  Ran the update of the firmware and I'm on the latest firmware it was available, 1.02.31.

  I would like to know how to solve this problem, because I don't always have the small USB Kindle charger with me, and that would well be load from a PC... which is what the original, right intention was?

  Except that I like it and really dig the FM radio tuner.  It is very bad!

  Hosers, all.

  Usb hub 4 ports powered solved my problem.  'duh, I think yer cable is bad' I DO NOT.  Apparently, the "rocket" sucks just too much power.

  So I solved my problem with a $ 5 usb hub.  Yippee.

  I have a Tecra M10 - 1KR (chipset GM45/GM47) and want to upgrade with a XM13 of a - DATA 60 GB (mSATA). There is a mini slot unter PCIe free keyboard, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any information if the motherboard accept the mSATA modules.

  Cordially, Harald know.

  I can't say with certainty if this mini PCI module would be compatible.
  Always is the TECRA M10 is equipped with Intel GM45/GL40? Cantiga (G) MCH? North Bridge, Intel ICH9M as South Bridge and R5C847 as a controller of the card.

  The two Mini-PCI card slots are used for 3G or Intel Turbo Memory and WLan

• Qosmio G20-106 - exchange of the CMOS battery

  Hi all

  I need to change the battery CMOS of my G20-106. Is this possible without having to disassemble the whole laptop? Where is the battery? Thank you for your help.

  Best regards

  unclescrooge

  Hello

  No, as I know it is not possible to do
  As far as I know the CMOS is welded somewhere on the motherboard and you would need to disassemble the whole laptop. This can be really, really painful procedure.

  But why do you want to remove the battery?
  The CMOS battery is charged and it should be possible to load it again.

• Choose use Bay does Tecra M10

  Someone knows what kind of select bay (slim, ultra slim, very fat or what) use the 'new' Tecra M10 and can tell me where it is written that info on an official site of Toshiba...

  Tip: don't waste time uploading the plug technical Toshiba, it isn't there, don't waste time to download the user guide; It is not there either...

  Pat

  Tecra M10 didn't select bay and that's the reason why you can't find information on this topic.

• W530 does not illuminate when the CMOS battery is connected

  Problem:

  I can't get my laptop to start (it blinks just 3 times battery icon, without to need laptop power (won't start even fan)) unless I disconnect CMOS battery, external battery and power first. Disconnected battery and CMOS battery, I can get the computer started connecting the AC (the computer then starts immediately without the need to press the powerbutton). Once the computer has booted, everything works fine (get warnings during start-up due to removed CMOS battery and must adjust date/timesettings every time in the operating system) and it is possible to restart without problems. I tried the following:

  Attempted fixes:

  (1) replace the CMOS battery and checked the required voltage is present using the multimeter

  (2) delete all memory modules. Has not made a difference, because it never reaches the verification of memory (where it would beep several times due to lack of memory) unless CMOS has been reset.

  (3) update BIOS of 2.57 to 2.63 without change

  (4) by pressing the button of power 10 times and then maintained for 30 seconds did nothing.

  I'm out of ideas after many hours of web browsing, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  It will be like this if the CMOS battery has failed and is in short-circuit. Try another battery CMOS

• RTC battery is low or CMOS incompatible chksum on a new Tecra M4?

  Hello

  I bought my Tecra M4 in November, making it relatively new.

  Since then, I got the following message to the ignition on four occasions:

  RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is inconsistent *.
  Press [F1] to set Date/time.

  Why is it that happens on a new laptop? And with relatively long intervals (4-6 weeks)?

  Is that what I can do to check for hardware errors?

  I prefer not having to send to my computer right now (reviews of spring to come to the top and from one month summer session).

  Any help/ideas are appreciated.

  Kind regards
  Thor

  Hi Thor

  As far as I know is not a hardware problem. Connect the camera to the power adapter and leave it for 20 to 24 hours.
  I hope you use it very often and the battery can be charged at all times.

• Help for Satellite Pro M10 RTC CMOS battery replacement

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 PS630E-G206C-FR
  Removing the main battery causes a failure message from RTC battery from the beginning to the top and loss of CMOS date/time.
  I tried to charge my main battery in full and then leave the machine in charge while it is turned on (I said it is a method for the CMOS battery)-without any result.
  .
  My questions: do I have to replace the RTC battery (ie: is it refillable welded or a CR2032 battery shows or similar).
  If a specific type, the best source?
  And also, where it is (I'm comfortable with disassemble my laptop having replaced the LCD cable already)
  Thank you
  David

  Hi David

  Do you need help? What you mean exactly, step by step disassembly procedure? Maintenance manuals are not public documents and I'm really interested if anyone can offer assistance to you.

  When you want to swap the portable RTC battery almost entire must be dismantled. Believe me that is not the procedure of 10 steps and to do something like this, you need the disassembly instructions. I recommend you to check how it will be service charges because that when they disassemble the laptop they can clean at the same time and the laptop will be as good as new.

  If you want to do it yourself, it is very important to use authorized by Toshiba replacement batteries or real. Battery wrong installation may cause a battery explosion, or other damage.

  Please be careful about this.

• Satellite A40-211: RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is inconsistent

  Hello

  I bought a functioning Satellite A40 - 211 of one of my friends, who had a defective model A60 from where I took the fast hard drive, the memoryupgrade and the internal wifi card, but the only annoying on the A40-211 new thingie is the message that the RTC battery is low or CMOS is incompatible whenever the laptop is turned off and turned on again (which also happens when a warm reboot is done)

  After checking the laptop for any other problem (there was none), I decided to replace the RTC battery with a new... about 17,-euros in total cost. (Of the disassemble the whole laptop, but it has more than once 100 or so with other models, takes 15 minutes to disassemble and put them all back again once)
  Did charge it new CCF to power the laptop up and leave it for at least 24 hours... (the manual says to do)

  No results... always the same... boring message.

  I also tried to reflash the bios, but the version 1.50 seems ok and cannot be replaced by the programming software.

  So, we have a good laptop to work here, but with an annoying message that cannot be solved?

  Anyone with a good tip?

  OK, a response to myself, because I've been tracking something here...

  I replaced the hard drive to another laptop (Satellite A60 series) to the A40-211... installing Windows could be transferred, since the IDE controllers are the same... then just install some other vga - and sounddrivers to operate...

  But... somehow with the new hard drive and therefore installation, date/time settings are lost after a restart or power off...
  I also discovered that the installation of 'old' will not go into sleep - or standbymode... it will only close...

  Then. I'll make a recovery disk hard 'new' facility, because it is faster than the original that came with the A40.

  I'll keep things updated here... also because this isn't a real solution to the question...

  Now, the question is: what makes the time/date setting go lost after this laptop with a non-on-this-laptop-installed-OS off the power?

• Satellite Pro A10: RTC battery is low or CMOS chesksum unstable

  I have a Satellite Pro A10.

  When I turn everything first laptop computer on I get RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is unstable - press F1 to set date/time. When I press F1, I get a beep and it's everything that happens. I'm unable to had to set up or do anything at all with the installation program.

  I kept it plugged in for 24 hours, but still the same results. I replaced the CMOS battery with a new. But even once, I get the exact same results.

  All that happens when I press F1 and a sound signal. Is this a sign that I have probably a problem with the motherboard?

  You can access the BIOS and could try to set the default settings, and then save the settings and start again.
  If it doesn't, then it must be another reason for this message.

  My first thought was that this error pops up because the BIOS battery is empty.
  Usually such charge as described in your ad should help get rid of this message.
  But it seems that there is a more serious problem

  I m not quite sure what this could be, but the hypothesis that a motherboard could malfunction is not wrong.
  I think that a fault of mobo might this causes too.

  But in my opinion a mobile technician must check to make sure what's wrong.

• Difference between Tecra M10 and Tecra A10

  Dear forum
  The above says everything really.

  I see the two look identical, but one is smaller. These two models are different in other ways please.
  Ian

  Of course, the two laptops are different.
  There are different models Tecra A10 and there are different units Tecra M10.

  For example:
  Tecra * A10-13 b * supports Intel GM45 chipset and an Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26 GHz CPU.

  Tecra * A10 - 1 2 * supports an Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 Ghz CPU Intel GM45 chipset

  You can find details of different laptop models left here:
