• Tecra Z40 - A - 16 c - indicator battery life problem

  Hello

  As from 2015, I own a Toshiba Tecra Z40 - A - 16 c.

  I noticed a strange behavior regarding the battery life indicator. When the laptop is fully charged, the indicator shows 100% remaining. And when I use the laptop, the percentage drops slowly, as expected.
  However, as soon as somewhere around 50%, the indicator is suddenly decreases and says he has only 5 or 4% left and I should switch it on immediately.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Kind regards
  Oliver

  The battery may need calibration. Load and unload completely several times.

  If it happens again, the battery needs replacing. You can check the level of wear using HWMonitor from cpuid.com.

• Tecra M2, battery life

  Got this lappy a week ago (dothan 1.6, video 512/60/64)
  All right, but I am concerned about the life of the battery of the standard package.

  Once fully charged, it shows a little less then 3 hours of work.

  Then time falls rather quickly. 90% ago 02:24
  Manufacturer and several critics claim that the battery life should be at least 4 hours.

  I reinstalled Toshiba Power Management. Then XP asked to reinstall common Modules.
  However, it did not help much.

  Can I have a broken battery or this longevity is good for this machine?

  My old laptop had a utility of calibration of the configuration of the BIOS battery.
  Is there somewhat similar? It seems that the system reads value battery incorrectly.

  To Check first, Toshiba site and Microsoft for any update of the operating system or drivers that can help.

  About the battery life, I know on older batteries, they worked as how you mentioned.

  They lists only a change of time remaining at certain times of the battery.

  For example, it can declare 100% for 30 minutes, but then drop to 50% all of a sudden.

  But this has happened on NiCad batteries because they lacked a "smart" sensor in the battery to detect small changes.

  The battery you have is a Li-ion, so this problem should not exist.

  Depending on what you were doing at the time and what power management settings you put in, this will also play a role in how fast your battery drains.

  Have the wireless on when you don't have not wireless configuration will drain more quickly the battery.

  Playing a CD / DVD, watching movies & games all drip the battery more quickly.

  Power management settings, if the value of 'Always On', it will cause the CPU to run at full speed, even on battery.

  This is a BIG drain on the battery, while leaving the brightness of the LCD on MAX.

  Check your settings, make sure that it has defined for the laptop and try to get down your glow.

  If these suggestions do not help, it is possible that you have a defective battery, if so you may want to get it replaced.

  Good luck!

• Tecra A3 battery life

  Product specifications for tecra a3 in this website indicates 3.46 hours-mobile brand. I get less than that, although enough to watch a movie. Can I know what this sheet is based-maybe a battery high capacity and the battery supplied with the camera?

  Hello

  the battery life depends on how much power setting you use in battery mode. 3.46 hours can be achieved only at the lowest setting. Another thing is that not all batteries of the same type same time (normally only slight differences). And after a while in use, the battery life will decrease until eventually it stops working (in some years).

  But maybe your battery is not working properly just and must be replaced.

• A60 battery life problem

  I bought 2 new A60 for my kids for Christmas and both seem to have a problem, when you use the battery they get only about 25-30 minutes of use even does not under all programs. This is after you have disconnected the electrical system with battery 100% showing. Is there a setting I need to change or is it a problem. Two laptop computers were required for 24 hours and not used for first opening.

  Hi Alan,

  I think this isn't a big problem. It is possible to check the settings in the properties of energy-saving. There, you can do some settings power off.

  Click Start > Control Panel > Toshiba Power Saver Properties. Chose the Normal called profile.
  On the right side, check all power off settings.

  If you doubt that the battery can be default, contact Toshiba Service partner and I'm sure that you will get a new.

  Good bye

Mine works very well, him, but emits causes. for some reason any it restarts randomly with his phone, especially when he sits in the car. He got a bionic replacement and used the same battery and he still has questions. I guess that's a bad battery? who else has this problem?

• Problem with my laptop battery life

  Hey owners of Toshiba! Is anyone having problems with their battery life? My laptop does not work as long as it should! Or so it seems. Any ideas what could be the problem? What is the machine?

  Try to let the battery discharge completely before recharging it. When you decide to use the power of the battery, remove the power adapter when the battery is fully charged and running on battery power until this that completely discharged and not only for 10 minutes, for example

• Tecra M4 - battery problem

  Hello

  My Tecra M4 battery appears to discharge on his tours off the coast. If I charge it to 100%, then unplug it and don't use it for about a week when I come to turn it on it used and I need to connect to the mains. When he dose get Windows reports 0%. It seems to lose about 15-20% per day of power turns off.

  Anyone know if this is normal for this model of if there is probably a problem that I have to look at the dose.

  Thank you

  David

  Hello

  This is definitely not normal. I think you need a new battery. That this be enabled by service. You still have warranty, so it will be free.

• TECRA 9100 battery problem

  Similar experiences to mine, please?

  After using no not my Tecra for some time (about 3 months). He was once again the charger for more than 24 hours and I'm now done with the original problem, I had the last time I used the Tecra, several months ago! The problem is, I think, only related to the tent to use it on battery, as follows:

  At the start of the machine of 'cold', after passing the request of 'password' screen, it goes straight to a "small blue screen", which includes the message:

  Hardware malfunction

  Call your provider of support material

  NMI: channel check / IOCHK

  The system stopped *.

  A little more information, I found that I can actually 'blue screen' situation - turn off not having don't no need to remove it battery that I first thought - and if I get the power cable then everything starts up well and seems to work normally. If I then remove the power cable (leaving the laundry to run on battery only) the small blue screen and same message reappears.

  Yet once which seems to indicate a battery problem, I guess?

  Has anyone else had a similar experience?

  Hello

  Windows may indicate a fundamental error messages only when material occurrence malfunction, so that the elimination of the errors can be difficult for equipment problems. Most of the problems of material step in connection with the motherboard, the main memory on a motherboard or adapter or the stamp on a motherboard or adapter.

  On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. I don't know how old is the unit, but if the unit is still under warranty I advice you contact service partner chartered. I'm sure they can find what may be the cause of this problem.

• Tecra M3: Question about the length of battery life

  I used to have a M2 which had a battery life of approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes. Last January, I had a M3 and was surprised it was only 1:30 running just Word and a memory low music program. Closing of the screen and running the program of music made him until 1:45. I thought it was because he had a faster processor, etc., but two of my friends also had Toshibas and they thought it was a battery problem.
  So what is the battery life of the 1.83 GHZ M3 supposed to be?

  Hello

  According to the description of the unit, the battery should run about 3 hours.
  But the battery working time depends on many different things, and this isn't a precise value. CA? s very important how you use Notepad, what programs are running, how old is the battery, how devices run is together, etca? ¦
  In this case generally Ca? s not easy to tell if the battery has a fault or not.

• Experiences over seven years with the battery life in laptop computers Tecra

  Seven years ago, I bought a Tecra 780DVD, five years ago a Tecra 8100 and two years ago a Tecra S1. They re all still in regular use and I ve used now six packs of lithium ion batteries. My experience suggests that these four guidelines are worth observing:

  1. it is preferable to the hibernation and remove the battery if the laptop will be inactive for more than 2 or 3 days.
  2 operating time vary a lot between the samples of battery even with the same operating conditions.
  3 leave the charger plugged in with the full light on doesn't seem to hurt (despite some of the recommendations).
  4. better is not the first time, that it is unable to charge the battery of junk. The trick described below may reset the battery and get more useful life out of it.

  Tecras see the end of battery life by battery light flashes orange or stay off when you try to reload. Last week when I returned from vacation what happened the 780 (now the WiFi print server) and I felt like déjà vu because all 4 batteries (three on the 780) and the other on the 8100 that I ve had previously fail expired the same way they failed to charge after 7 to 14 days of hibernation with the battery left in. In my view, that it can hardly be a coincidence.

  I still had another 780 old farm and an old battery for 8100 that both failed about two years ago I did some tests. The batteries two 780 showed 10-11 volts on a voltmeter, but when I put them in the laptop and plugged in the charger, the led load always flashed. However, when I plugged the laptop battery already started the grid only, the hanging lamp orange and after an hour or two went green.

  I think this shock treatment can have done in battery electronics forget they were supposed to be dead. Anyway, I did with all three batteries and then ran to see how long d last. The results were:

  (1) the 780 battery failed last week (after 36 months used) can now run the laptop for an hour.
  (2) the 8100 battery (with the active service of 16 months, but 'believed dead' for two years) will now run for 10 minutes or more.
  (3) the 780 battery believed dead for two years (after 19 months used) appears to load but t does not work the laptop. Half of the battery ended up hot and half cold, so now I guess that it s really dead.

  Hoping others will compare notes, I've summarized below how long my battery packs lasted before they refused to pay more.

  Tecra780DVD:
  Original battery: 30 months (discarded too soon. Might have gotten more if I had tried to trick reset).
  First replacement: 19 months (stored for two years, after which reset didn't work).
  Second alternative: 36 months (after reset now works for an hour).

  Tecra 8100:
  Original battery: 16 months (stored for 2 years. After reset now lasts 10 minutes).
  First replacement: 41 months and always well run.

  Tecra S1:
  Original battery: 29 months and always well run.

  All are genuine Toshiba and operating conditions are quite similar for all. Laptops tend to run 4-8 hours per day with the charger plugged and maybe half an hour on battery only. Sometimes we forget and the charger remains connected all night.

  I m now wish I d tried the trick of reset on all batteries as soon as they failed, but at least I seem to have rescued two batteries. Even a moment of execution as short as 10 min is useful on a laptop that s especially power sector. It protects against power failure and you can keep your battery in the fridge until you need it for a trip.

• Satellite A215-S4757 - battery life and the problem of cooling fan

  Hello everyone,

  I would like to ask a few questions abou my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

  I have my laptop since last August and I think that it shouldn't be a dust problem, because it is too 'young' for this and I do not live in an apartment "dusty"...

  In any case, I think that the problem of "almost allways running fan" appeared about 2 months after I bought the laptop. I installed 'Speedfan' and I see 'HD0' temperature increases of 30deg remarks immediately after I have start the laptop, on 39deg after 1 hour.

  But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?

  Is the normal temperature of 45-50deg? I use my laptop for browsing the Internet, emails, etc., no complex 3d games!

  The second thing is that the battery life is (and has been since the beginning) not spectacular: it lasts max. 1.5 hours with wireless use on, but normal laptop (don't play not DVDs or something like that). Is this normal? If so, is it because of the amd processor turion 64 x 2?

  Please help me with some tips / advice.

  P.S. I bought my Toshiba as I was travelling to the US (NY).

  Thank you much in advance.

  > I would like to ask a few questions about my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

  I m an owner of a Satellite A210. It s similar to the A215. The A210 is a European model and the A215 belongs to the series of cell phones in the United States.
  I noticed the same thing on my A210, and I think that's a normal s behavior.

  > But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?
  The 40-60deg CPU temperature is not unusual.
  The temperature could affect up to 70-80degrees by practicing a game. So Don t worry about the temperature.
  Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. Fan table is stored in the BIOS and it contains information about the limits of temperature and the use of cooling.
  If a certain level of temperature has been reached the cooling module begins to spin with a certain speed.

  Now, I would like to say a few words on the life of portable batteries
  Generally the duration of battery life depends on the use of portable computers.
  While playing games or watching movies the battery a lot faster.

  In any case, your laptop is equipped with high performance devices and AFAIK Vista was preinstalled on this series. The two factors (high performance CPU and GPU devices) + Vista OS need a lot of battery power. Vista needs of more resources for laptop like Win XP, and so portable computers equipped with Vista operating system run more short on battery such as laptops pre-installed with Win XP.

  Finally and above all he must know that there are different models more strong the battery with high * value of my would help run the notebook longer using the power of the battery.

  Hope I could clarify this issue.

  Good bye
