Why is the battery loses power even when connected to the wall of entry?

I always use my laptop connected to the wall outlet and the battery loses power no matter why is - this?

Hello

Laptops today are designed to switch to the battery and drain a little and
Re-load. This keeps the successful battery and helps to prolong its useful
life.

Both my Toshiba will be the battery once a week and 80% drain
and then reload. Of course once they have re-charged they workpieces then on
A/c power.

If the laptop does not back the the a/c, then there may be a problem with
the charger, charge the cell phone circuit, or the battery.

References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

Check with support from the manufacturer of their books online and the drivers and their forums system
(as applicable) for known issues. Some manufacturer issued BIOS and other updates to help the battery
problems.

Other information that might help:

long to load).

In fact, what causes a lot of wear on a battery empties it too low on several occasions. With today
systems overload are not a problem.

Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery issues.

Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
eraser (do not use this, if your battery is fine slots - just clean up the edges of the knife which fit in)
them and be careful). Batteries are old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
Check with the support of the machine system, and many of them have online forums.

New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload their less than 30%
However on a laptop that not extend their life a lot. Best is to use the a/c adapter
When this is possible.

  • The battery charge falls even when it is plugged into the satellite series

    I have a laptop satellite and although it recognizes the power adapter when it is connected and that the icon in the taskbar shows "load", the percentage of the battery charge seems down.

    It is only while the laptop is turned on, because it does not charge the battery when it is turned off.
    I didn't know that he used the power of the battery so that hip, so I'm puzzled by this not only why the battery doesn't seem to be in charge, but also why the battery seems to fall once the laptop doesn't have to use it anyway.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Hello

    I saw this problem on my own laptop in the past. even if the laptop is charging, the battery seems to fall in charge.

    This indicates that the battery life is coming to an end, there are a limited number of cycles of load for a battery before it dies.
    Also when you have the computer is off fresh is always lost at a considerable pace, because the battery is good, "die."

    You can't do anything on this issue except to buy a new replacement battery for your laptop computer to a repair center authorized Toshiba. This should answer your question.

  • Pavilion dv7: HP Pavilion dv7 has no power even when plugged

    My laptop battery ran out today and would not take a load... I checked all the cord etc. and it is the power of the laptop, but now the battery is completely dead and the computer is also dead even when it is plugged into an AC.  I've deleted and reinstalled battery... no help.

    Is this a battery problem?  If it was, then, why the computer would not work when plugged in the AC?

    Any help would be appreciated...

    The first thing to try is a hard reset as follows:

    (1) remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
    (2) press and hold the power button for more than 15 seconds.
    (3) plug the DC power adapter (leave the battery for now)
    4) press the power button

    If that produces no positive results, then continue with the following troubleshooting instructions.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Why battery loses power when Satellite-A-50 is stopped?

    After a few days the battery of my Satellite-A-50 (two months ago) going from 100% to 4%, while the laptop is turned off.

    I tried with the start - stop function (windows 8.1) and tried to close by maintaining that the button for 5 seconds and the laptop is closed.

    But in a few days, the battery is low.

    How is that possible? What can I do?

    Thank you
    Adrianus

    This has been discussed several times here in the forum.
    I recommend you to use the search function of the forum and read some other discussions.

    But let me tell you that win 8.1 does not power the cell phone completely off by default. It defines the laptop only hybrid close mode for faster start.

    To turn off this doc check function:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm

    Also the BIOS contains options that allow the laptop to power all its completely OFF. For example: Wake up LAN or Wake up on keyboard mode.
    These options wasting energy from the battery even if the device has been turned off.
    That is why it s advisable to turn it off.

  • Satellite P200-1IE: battery goes down even if connected power outlet

    Hope someone can give me some good advice here as an urgent decision to make about my P200-2 - week old 1IE, under Vista Home Premium, I bought the Portugal where I live. I was told that I have 15 days to return the machine to the store if I am not satisfied, then I must act quickly.

    Background info: I have not yet downloaded SP1 updates or drivers or bios on the Toshiba site. That once the machine has been run on battery (accidentally when the power was off) - he ran down, beep and a time that I realized and turned on the power, is it charged normally. The machine works very well, and then last night a strange problem occurred.

    The machine was left unattended and ends by closes. When it has been restarted the battery alert was a sound signal. My husband na? A´t realize that it was, and close again the machine. When I got to watch it I noticed that even though the power light was there was no light to the battery, or orange or blue, nothing.

    I turned on and checked the battery which was about 20%, but that the power supply has been connected to the taskbar icon energy showed that the battery was not charging in fact it unloaded quickly at a minimum. I stop the machine, then the battery light orange came for about 5 minutes, then went out again. Play with this problem, try to troubleshoot gave strange and unpredictable results i.e.

    -unplugged and re plugged the power supply at the end of the machine and then no lights came, not even the power sector led.
    -is turned off and turned back on the power at the end of the plug and the sector and battery (orange) lights came on.
    -battery charge indicator is out after 10 minutes.
    -unplugged and reconnected the power to the machine again and this time the sector and battery lights came on - even once, they came out after about 10 minutes.
    -power the computer on. The power icon showed about 25% power. Not powered down the new machine - no lights at all.
    -entretienavec and re-connected turns on power to the machine again and this time and battery charging sector came and stayed on.
    -After about 2 hours, the battery light showed charged (turns blue) and so I unplugged the power socket and left for this morning.

    As I suspected, this morning the battery power was 100%. Everything seems normal (except the battery light is released briefly on starting the machine, which is maybe normal and I just never paid attention to the front). I unplugged the power supply and let it run on the battery for about 10 minutes (this is plan is Equilibrado which I believe is balanced). I then reconnected power and loaded back up to 100% as you can imagine.

    Sorry for the long description, but even if all is well, now strange problems yesterday let me feel that there is a potentially serious problem within the machine. Has anyone encountered anything like this before and what do you think I should please?

    Hello

    It s a long and very strange history.

    My first idea was a battery issue but to be honest it is really not easy to say why this problem occurred, it would also be possible that this would cause to loses connection

  • My new Kindle Fire HD when connected to USB causes files on my external HARD drive to go away, they come back when the Kindle is disconnected and after a reboot, any help please

    If after installation with kindle, connected external HARD drive disappears

    USB ports are usually "matched" in groups, called hubs root.  These root hubs then control and distribute the power to the USB ports.  If any device on one of the two ports, the hub root, requires too much power, the other port loses power.  When a port USB Hub root loses power, the devices connected to the port 'disappears' of the Windows session.  Normally, after you disconnect the devices from the USB port and reconnect them "must" bring these.

    A free USB powered hub can help.  These allow usually additional power over USB ports, on its own USB ports.

  • Modification of the Module dependency entries in the generated file to COD

    Hi all

    I am trying to build a blackberry application that uses web services. I use my own implementation of web service client because most of the mobile does not support RPC or JSR 172. So I do not use net_rim_jaxrpc blackberry module. I tried to deploy the application in 8130 (Verizon) Pearl and Curve 8320 (T-Mobile). It works very well in Pearl but he launched 'Net_rim_jaxrpc Module could not be found' error in curve 8320. I looked for versions of software to both phones. Pearl has a version 4.3 and curve has a version 4.2. I know that version 4.2 doesn't have a net_rim_jaxrpc module, then it throws the error message. I looked in the JAD file and it has an entry for net_rim_jaxrpc in "RIM-COD-Module-dependencies. My question is, since I do not use net_rim_jaxrpc API why he puts this entry in the JAD. I even tried to delete this entry from the JAD but curve 8320 always up the error message. If its configuration "RIM-COD-Module-dependencies" in another place in the COD file. If under its weight so why is - do this so that even when I'm not using the API. And how to remove this entry for dependence. I use eclipse 3.2 for development.

    Someone please help me on this.

    Thank you

    Gopi

    The problem is resolved. Problem is not with the development version. Problem is with the import statement. There was an import for 'javax.xml.rpc.Stub' statement, and I don't notice it. But when I changed the JDE 4.2 development, he began to show an error message for the unknown variable in the IDE. I changed the import to my own Stub class and everything seems to work very well.

    Thank you for everything that you guys!

    I have another question. I have a custom button and clicking on it opens the BB browser. On the development, I need the button to look like a hypertext link with the symbol of the hyperlink (a symbol of the hand). Can anyone suggest me something on this? I have to do something in the drawFocus or onFocus the custom button?
