Tecra S2: battery start to empty itself

A week ago, I got my Tecra S2 by the service. They replaced my graphics card and my laptop worked perfect again, for a few days.

Then all of a sudden the battery started to empty with the AC adapter is plugged in. When it reaches zero, the laptop runs for a few minutes then crashes. After a few hours the charges of the battery and everything returns to normal. This happens a few times now and is completely random.

I checked if it was the heat, new bios updates, drivers, connection adapter, but nothing seems to help.

just an off topic question:

When you say that service to replace your graphics card, you mean they changed all the motherboard because I guess the graphics card is part of the correction of it.

regarding your problem, it may be a faulty batery.

    How can I solve the problem?

    Thank you

    I guess you are talking about the shutdown procedure force as described in this document:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB3C03JR0000R01.htm

    This problem can appear in case the PC freezes, do not start or has a power failure.

    I think that the laptop turns off in case the battery is completely empty. In this case the system does not close properly.
    As the default state, the system keeps laptop but usually the unit carries out a stop of the hybrid. This procedure allows the laptop to start much more quickly, but it could affect the system startup in case something goes wrong during the process of closing.
    You can disable this hybrid mode and in my opinion, it is also recommended.

    Details:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm

    However, to avoid these problems, it of very important to correctly perform the closing procedure.

  • Tecra M2 - no start

    Hello world

    I just got a * Toshiba Tecra M2 * who suffers from some strange symptoms.

    I've first turning on laptop, I got a message saying that the RTC was not working properly. The machine is in storage for 18 months so thought it was enough to be charged overnight, which I did not.

    In any case, I went through the process of ESC key combination and it started to load Windows XP - it is crushed then restarted itself. Yet once the RTC message appeared, this time, I started the computer in safe mode. It has worked well. After about 20 minutes, she suffers a BSOD. It was really fast and I don't have a chance to get the error code.

    I tried restarting and nothing.

    The battery light was orange, as he was in charge, and the light of the power supply sector was carried out normally.

    No rotation of the DVD player, no flurry of CPU fan - quite dead.

    The machine had worked very well and the owner just need to a new installation of XP Pro top.

    Any ideas on what is the cause?

    The DVD, RAM, LCD, Touchpad, disk, CPU, FAN etc have all been removed and the problem still persists

    It could just be the needs of RTC load all night? : |

    I appreciate any assistance you can give. Any questions just ask.

    Thank you

    Hello

    As you know it is not easy to provide a diagnosis exactly the fault without putting hands on the laptop.
    But if you ask for advice; Here is my personal opinion;

    I think that it s a malfunction of the motherboard. Fact is that the laptop should also start if the RTC battery would be empty. In this case, the date and time value would be reset, but should start Notepad.

    Your computer appears to be dead so my suggestion might be good, but you should definitely ask ASP for verification to ensure that's exactly wrong.

    Good luck

  • Tecra M5 - battery is not save

    Hello

    I have a Tecra M5 and the computer does not start on just the battery. It is fine when pugged in the wall (with or without the battery).
    When I turn it on, it briefly displays the battery is there and even load, but it disappears after about 20 minutes.
    I tried to use a different battery, but the same thing happened.

    Thank you.

    In your ad I didn t understand what happen when you use your Tecra on battery power only. When the portable computer is running and Windows is fully loaded what happens when you unplug the AC power supply?

    Can you start laptop with battery only?

  • Tecra R850, battery "plugged in, not charging".

    Hello
    I'd appreciate some thoughts on the problem.

    The problem:
    The battery is not charged. The icon in the status bar indicates that the battery is "connected" but that it is 'not charging' and 'remember to change your battery.
    Something similar to:
    https://BD23.HTTPS.CDN.SoftLayer.NET/80BD23/142.4.51.106/images/consider-replacing-your-battery.PNG
    In addition, the battery charge indicator is off

    What happened:
    I was using the computer on battery power. During use, the message appeared that the battery is critical 3% and computer suddenly stop (or went to sleep/hibernate). It is possible that the battery was empty, since I was not charged for 2 days. Which was weird, is that I do not have the message that the battery is at 7%, which is normal warning that I get.
    The next day, I plugged the computer power cord started. At the start, computer called I want to boot into 'Safe Mode' or 'Normal '. I selected 'Normal '.
    Then I noticed the problem described above.

    History:
    Nothing in particular. Notebook is less than 2 years old. Battery was at six, now has dropped to about 4 hours, but had no previous problems. No power surge, does not drop the computer, etc...

    Comments:
    -L' computer works without battery, only on the power cable.
    -L' computer does not react if I put only the battery, without the cable, even if it is said that the battery has 9 percent. (he says there are 3% before the initial stop, however)
    -When I plug in the power cable, the battery charge indicator is on for 2-3 seconds (in orange) and then is off. This happens whenever I take the cable out, then in.
    -What is strange, is that every time when I disable networks wireless/mobile using "Flash Cards" and restart the computer, they are 'on '. Previously, this situation will only occur when the computer crashed, or I made him stop (holding the power button)
    -J' tried what was suggested on the forums of Toshiba:

    * 1
    §Remove cable power, battery, clean contacts, put everything back in place
    §Leave to load a few hours
    -> Indicator battery charge was not on a few hours after the

    * 2
    §Remove battery, start the computer
    §Go to the "Device Manager".
    §Uninstall method to control compatible ACPI Microsoft battery
    Computer §restart
    § ACPI Microsoft settle again
    Computer §shutdown
    §Put battery, start the computer
    -> No change, still do not charge, indicator is not lit

    * 3
    Also have interpreted 'Factory reset '.
    §Apres recovery and restart, there is no change
    §Cela time, when I turn off the networks wireless/mobile using 'Flash Cards', they remain "off" even when I reboot a computer, which was not the case prior to 'Factory reset '.
    §However, if I take the feeder and then place it in (while the computer is turned off) and then start the computer, wireless/mobile networks are once again 'on '.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you

    On the picture, information is displayed: consider replacing your battery. This means that the battery is defective somehow.

    I guess you need the battery help, another tested good original.

    I don t Jules Destrooper that there is some sort of problem since you've already tried the factory reset recovery software and computer laptop. Problems of software, this procedure should resolve any software related issues. But it was not.

  • Tecra R850-117 starts 5 minutes after calving

    My Tecra R850-117 off, it restarts automatically after 5 minutes exactly.

    This is an unwanted behavior because it drains the battery while I don't use the laptop and it could also damage the bearing drive around during the race...

    Anyone know what could cause this problem and how can I stop it? The laptop is 6 months old and I notice this behavior only in recent weeks. I have already noticed that the battery could be emptied after not using it for a few days (probably because of the same issue?), but never noticed the unwanted reboots...

    Thank you very much in advance for all the tips.

    Erik.

    Hello

    You have disabled the wake-up options in the BIOS?
    Check it!
    The permit * wake-up options could power on the laptop, even if the power is turned off.

    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.

    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.

    How can I exclude a unity electronics/loading of the motherboard error?
    Other ideas have really enjoyed.
    Thank you

    Jam

    Hello

    This means that you can only start without battery also when the AC/DC adapter is plugged?

    If Yes, it has something to do with the motherboard, I think. I mean if the same thing happens with other batteries too it could be linked to the motherboard for example.

    In any case, I think that the motherboard must be exchanged or contact you a service provider authorized professional assistance. They can help you and check your laptop. :)

  • Bios Tecra 9000 battery empty

  • Tecra 8100 not start

    Hello

    correction of a problem, it seems that the second...

    After that I fixed my problems of inverter, the laptop worked well for more than a week. Last night I tried to turn on the machine and... nothing happened. The display is dark, the spins of HD, the (empty) CDROM gives three little noises, then silence. No JOB.

    If I power button once again for a little while, the portable thirty times (1 long and 29 short beeps) beeps. Then it turns off.

    If I'm held during the March, the screen displays a page of funny characters such as hearts and clubs and Spades, smilie faces and so on. I'm afraid, theres something wrong with my bios. Is there the chance to reset the FlashPROM? Perhaps by disconnecting the CMOS battery? But how do you here? Questions about questions. Someone at - it a good idea? The shaded for a visit a page ASP would be a death sentence for the machine :-(.

    Help, please!

    Thanks in advance.

    Kai

    Hello Kai

    As far as I know sound comes if there is serious hardware problem. On this path, it is not easy to give an accurate diagnosis. Remove the CMOS battery will not help at all. Personally, I think that there is serious hardware problem.

    You see the Toshiba start screen or these symbols appear immediately after pressing the Start button / stop?

    If anyone else has had a similar problem and has it been resolved?

  • 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.

    Good bye

  • Tecra 550CDT, battery will not charge

    I have a little problem. My Tecra does not load. It works on a normal power supply and sector and battery light comes but when trying to load the sector and the battery light comes for about a minute or two, then, the power light will start to blink. 1chaloupe, 4short 1long 2short. It flashes even after I have remove the power cable. I know that it is not the battery as I replaced and she always does. Someone has an idea?

    Hello

    It sounds is not very well because when the laptop LED blink an error code is related to the material.

    Toshiba laptop of a friend of mine also had a problem and the lights were flashing, so we called the hotline and they told us to put the laptop to a toshiba service partner.

    So your Tecra is an old model, then it's your turn to decide to repair the laptop?

    In my opinion, you should call a Service partner and ask for the price calculation. A list of found Service on the following site partners
