• X230t win 8 battery 100% and maintains load

  Hello

  I am running Windows 8 on my X230t. All drivers are up-to-date of Lenovo (using system update 5).

  I don't use a lot of my battery. I've used several times in the past without problem. However, today, I charged my battery about 70%, and when he reached 100%, he wouldn't charge. I tried to use another AC adapter, restart the computer, remove the battery discharge and then recharge the battery, but nothing worked. The electric windows icon sayins 100%, hip, charge. Green also the charge status LED indicates that the battery is charging. This happens even when the computer is completely shut down. Don't know what to try next.

  Furthermore, I installed all drivers Lenovo & software for Windows 8 power management, but the typical Lenovo Power Manager with the thresholds of load custom does not appear on my computer. I have only access to the Windows default power manager. I don't know if the crib Lenovo Power just does not work on my computer or if Lenovo has not yet release a power manager for the X230T running Windows 8.

  Thanks for any help!

• Satellite M100 - is a disabled firewire port saves battery power?

  Hey everybody

  I'm not so IEEE...
  If I disable firewire in Device Manager it will stop it and it will help save the battery?

  Hi Dmitrij

  I doubt that disabled firewire port will help to save the battery.
  If you want to save battery power, you should check the options and settings of Toshiba Power Saver.

  Check the HowTO document
  + How to configure my computer for optimal use of battery? +
  You can find it in the Forum s box HowTo.

  If you are using Vista, then I recommend that you check the Vista power settings.

• Tecra 8200: If I use the moniter decrease brightness battery power

  I have a laptop Toshiba tecra 8200, when I use it on battery moniter decrease brightness, I tried to adjust the power to the control panel settings, but there is no option for brightness (win xp)? anyone has idea how to adjust the brightness on battery?

  Hello

  If I remember right you can set the brightness of the display by saving settings. Please start Toshiba Power saver. Check the part runs on batteries. There must be some NORMAL called marker profile. Click details, and then click standby power mode tab.

  There monitor the brightness option. All the four options set at the maximum level. Now when you use your laptop on battery power the brightness of the monitor will be defined to the maximum level.

  Please test.

• Lenovo x 240 battery observations and investigations [trendy not supported]

  Hi, have a few observations and questions about the 240 x battery. 1 have not really noticed before, but when you plug the charger, the news of support for internal and external battery should read "connected, charge '? 2. I noticed that the mine only has 1 (internal or external) that reads "plugged in, charging" while the other is not (plugged in, do not load)-I first thought once we're in charge, another would activate and fresh, but it's apparently is not. 3 have not really found the problem, i.e. the hardware or software. Sometimes it's the internal battery that costs, sometimes it is the other - I have two defective batteries? Is this a software problem? Here are the things I have tried/tested 1. I uninstalled the device drivers in the same device, rebooted - Manager. 2. install / re-installed the driver of lenovo power manager - nada. 3 tried to recharge the laptop while it is off - voltage and both got fully charged! Someone has the same problem? appreciate the advise / help and thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply and my apologies for the late reply.

  Took the time to observe the laptop, but I guess I found my answer.

  It seems that the laptop is not simultaneous battery internal and external. Noticed it imposes outside first, then residents. Looks like that's how it really works. Fortunately for me not to send my laptop warranty or buy a spare battery.

  Thanks again and happy to be part of the community of Lenovo.

  See you soon and good new year!

• 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.

  Conrad

  > 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

• Touchpad problem - running on battery power, does not work when it is connected.

  Laptop Toshiba with Vista. The Synaptics touch pad battery power works fine. When it is plugged in, it freezes.  Disconnect the power supply and back to the battery and everything is fine.  That's happened?  How can I get the touchpad to work in both modes of power?

  I played with power options, and there is nothing specific to the touchpad.  Setting the power of USB has no effect either. This laptop (Toshiba A505 series) is up-to-date with all service packs, etc.

  Hi mravitz,

  You need to maybe uninstall and reinstall the Synaptics drivers installed on the system.

  Uninstall and reinstall the Synaptics drivers.

  a. Click Start, point to settings and then click Control Panel.

  b. double-click system click on hardware and then click Device Manager.

  c. expand the device, and then double-click the Synaptics driver.

• I suddenly lost my taskbar battery/power icon

  Original title: the battery icon

  I lost suddenly from my bar battery/power icon tasks and cannot change the setting in "Turn system icons on or off.

  Any ideas?

  You can display the icons of the power-battery permanently in Customizing the taskbar [right click on the Windows icon, select Properties, select taskbar, select the Notification area customize].  Alternatively, you can decide to show only the icon notifications, so that the icon appears only when the battery level drops below what you have set in the power management.

• Using HP Diagnostic and Win 7 HP PC system repair disc to another, even 0 s?

  A friend who has a more recent with Win 7 HP, HP nor his family know little about the period of the PC, has it completely messed. He asked me if I could fix it, to make a long story short, I can't access a large part of what. I couldn't find any Active safety system. Norton 360 trial expired, Windows Defender is disabled.  I can't access Windows Explorer or the control panel and Windows Update does not work... The list goes on and. I believe there is a major Virus in the machine by the way he told me he started acting about 2 weeks, he started when he was on the opening page after page line.

  It's funny, he thinks really that Microsoft took his machine and since he was on a Government web site (?) they are both after him!

  I told her that I need to run Recovery, probably destructive if I can't back up its files.

  I tried restoring the system to a point more a month, has not helped. I know that the first step is to get rid of the Virus, I was able to get Windows Defender working and updated, quick scan revealed nothing, and I had to start a full Scan him before I left.

  I know that if a mouth full, but here is my question... Can I try to use HP's Diagnostics and Win 7 HP system repair disc I created from my PC on his PC (same OS)? Just to see if it helps so I can get a security software installed and running before you run the recovery.

  Thanks Risingsun

  Hello

  You can certainly use the Windows 7 repair disc as long as it's the same version (IE 32-bit or 64-bit).  However, if there was a large number of malware on the PC, I would say that your suggestion to restore PC to factory settings may well be the best option as this reformatted the hard first of all - this way, you can be sure that everything has been cleared until the operating system is reinstalled.

  To perform a factory reset, there are 2 main ways. Either process will erase the data private so. 

  1. If your friend has created a set of recovery disks, insert the first and reboot the PC to start the process.

  2. Another way is to first shutdown the PC, and then tap away at f11 as soon as you press the power button and this should access Recovery Manager, which then allows you to reinstall the operating system.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro U500 - multi-boot with Win 7 and Win XP

  Good gentlemen,

  Please help me with this query I have.

  I just bought a Satellite Pro U500 with Windows 7 installed. I also have a TOSHIBA Windows XP product supplied with the laptop recovery DVDs. Was told I could downgrade to XP with the DVD.

  I want to install Win XP in addition to the existing installation of Windows 7 on a different partition, I intend to create.
  Can I create a create a separate partition and then use the recovery TOSHIBA Windows XP product DVD to install Win XP on it?

  Am just worried I might spoil the on the laptop's recovery partition?

  Basically, I want to be able to run the current Windows 7 and Win XP on my machine and want to know the best way to do it without damaging the existing TOSHIBA recovery partitions.

  I want to use the recovery DVDs TOSHIBA Windows XP product to install XP on a new partition with windows 7 OS.

  Thank you

  STRAPPING

  Hi-band,
  + downgrade to xp + means that you are not allowed to use your win7 installation any longer...

  ask problem "dual-boot":
  burn a DVD restore *, choose from the start menu

  After that, you can choose partition wich you like "sacrifice" for xp and install it...
  XP can't 'see' the install of win7, but you need a Boot Manager to boot both systems (xp is crushing the win7 boot code)

  or you go the other way:
  installation of xp and then install win7
  This has the advantage that win7 offers you the ability to boot xp from the bootmenu.
  in both options, you lose the hard drive recovery!
