Toshiba PA2487U RG battery problem

I have a laptop satellite that uses battery PA2487U RG. I bought it used for a long time with a dead battery. It was really good and I'm very happy with it. However, I was given a good so-called battery for it. The battery has always says loading and stood at 3%. The second says 100%. The load on the front panel light is on all the time with 3% and only for a few moments with the 100%. However, if I unplug the AC adapter, it is totally dead. Not a glimmer!

Is there a way I can check the battery to 100%? Is it likely to be faulty? I don't want to spend a lot of money on a new battery if the laptop has a defect.

Thank you, Tom

Well, I don t think that the laptop has a defect, but you know, without no one tests could tell you what's wrong.
Usually, the new battery should t be empty after a few minutes and it should load without any problems.
As far as I know, the battery has a 1 year warranty and if it's something wrong, so I recommend you to replace.

I think that the new battery should t have defects and that it works.
But if not so I think that the laptop has a malfunction.

  • Satellite P300-172 battery problems

    Hello.

    Hope you all had a good Christmas and can hopefully help out me.

    I bought a laptop P300-172 awhile back.
    Now, even after the sinking of a large number of power settings, the battery life was poor.

    So I ordered a replacement from ebay (part 3rd battery) the battery is identical to the Toshiba battery in everyway of course the only difference is there was not an a toshiba.

    in any case, when the battery arrived I plugged it and the battery LED came on to show that he was charging, when I booted up my laptop (with vista) windows showed that there was no battery connected, I thought strange. But I did back and let it load, after an hour or two charging orange led started flashing which it never did.

    Still, I booted up vista and windows showed there is no battery connected. I have contcated the seller and assumes that the battery was faulty, as chance would have, he repaid the article and I went back to the normal toshiba battery.

    I had another battery, ordered through work and that is identical in every way, once again, except that it was another 3rd party battery and which does exactly the same thing.

    Can anyone help?

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS (3.9) and have tried many steps as leaving the laptop without the battery for 30 minutes and then insert the battery. update the bios.

    Well that's about all I can think and have read through the forums.

    I appreciate may give any information you guys! Sorry for the long message.

    If I were you I wouldn't assume more battery problems and return the phone to the place of purchase, if you can.

    The problem is out of your control, as you have tried multiple batteries. Just give him place of purchase to watch. Then less grief for you.

    Good luck.

  • iPhone 4 s - battery problem

    Hello

    I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.2 who must break with the battery problem almost entirely.

    I don't know if it's a hardware problem, but I hope that it is a software problem so I will try to do everything as my possible to isolate and software problem.

    I did a reset on iOS, but it does not solve. The next step should involve a DFU reset using iTunes but it will update my iPhone to iOS 9 and as far as I know it will turn my iPhone unusable.

    The other possibility is it back to iOS 6.1.3 but it won't, I must do a restore to iOS 9 which will be a problem.

    Yes, is there something I can do without updating to iOS 9?

    What makes you think this update to iOS 9 will make useless iPhone?

  • Satellite U940 - battery problem

    Hi, my battery LED doesn't turn on when it is plugged. My laptop is plugged in but does not support. AC adapter works fine. Is this a battery problem? Do I have to buy a new battery?

    Is this a battery problem?

    No doubt...

    Do I have to buy a new battery?

    If there is battery failure, the battery should be replaced.
    But if your warranty is valid I recommend asking an ASP in your country for assistance... perhaps it could be replaced in warranty...

  • "Erase content and settings" help battery problems?

    Battery life of my iPhone of 6 has problems. All of a sudden, the battery started to die very quickly. Sometimes my iPhone at 30% and I have to keep it on the charger for most of the day. Will help to "erase all content and settings '?

    If some app is the origin of the battery problem, then the clear operation will help, because it gets rid of all applications.  If its still bad after the operation to clear and without restoring from a backup, then it's a hardware problem.

  • Re: Satellite T - battery problems

    My laptop battery will not charge when connected to the power terminal. I also have to remove the battery to turn on the laptop, it turns with the battery connected.

    Can someone give me some advice or do I have to return the battery?

    Hello

    The warranty is valid?
    If so, then get in touch with a local ASP because I m not quite sure if it s only a battery problem.

    Usually if the battery would be affected so you should always be able to turn on the unit.
    I think there could be something wrong that should be checked by an ASP.

    Good luck

  • 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

  • Satellite Pro A120 battery problem

    Hi all

    I have a portable Satellite Pro A120 and is a battery problem a month ago.
    The battery is not new, but recently changed, 6 months ago.
    Until a few weeks ago, it lasted about 2 hours when full load, until this time
    suddenly dropped 30-40 minutes.
    In addition, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's a few extra vibrations,
    for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
    In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

    I initially though that there was a problem with the battery or the battery contacts, but they seem ok.
    I tried to unload it in my laboratory of the company with a power resistance: resistance absorbed 1A continuously for more than 3 hours. As the specification 4400mAh battery, I would say that the battery is ok.

    Is it possible that I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
    The battery stress test above seems to show that the charging process is ok. So the problem might be with
    the provision of monitor or battery power.
    Someone at - it experience of similar problems and maybe a solution.
    Or perhaps a work around? As excluding the battery monitoring and auto turn off

    Thanks in advance
    Concerning

    > Is it possible I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
    Perhaps, but that's just a guess only a cellphone technician may provide an exactly the answer to this question.

    > Furthermore, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's some additional vibration.
    for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
    In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

    It is very strange, I want to say if the contacts of the battery and the battery would be ok, this symptom shouldn't its sounds strange for me, so maybe that's the key why battery don't not lasts more than 30-40 min

    However, I think you should try a new battery before checking the motherboard.

  • Need to know the assignment of pins of Toshiba PA3480U-1BAS battery

    Can someone tell me the pins of the Toshiba PA3480U-1BAS battery available.
    In other words, what a pair would I need to tap in order to charge the battery of the laptop?

    There absolutely no charge in the battery at this time.

    I think that there will be no one who can help you and say, wat pair of pins, you must charge the battery, because I'm not a technician and most of other users too.

    But why do you charge the battery outside the laptop? Is there something wrong with your machine or the battery?

It has always been 33%. Then he began to fall little by little. Now it is stuck on 29%. Do you have any suggestions? Please help me.

    have you tried that?

    -disconnect the mains supply, remove the battery - if it is not internal, press the power button / stop for 30-40 seconds and try again.

    also, try to re - install management supply (remove/reboot/reinstall computer) or reset (the second icon mini battery) battery meter
