  • Problems with the battery / Satellite A100 - 151 (PSAA9)

    Hello!

    My Toshiba laptop 3/4 years, has had problems with the battery. Battery does not charge properly and to start windows, the laptop down even when the battery is at 70%. Normal use without AC is not possible. The first 3 months, the laptop worked well with no battery problems.

    I hope to get help for my problem.

    Hi Sebastian

    Maybe is the problem on the battery itself. Without a lot of discussion, I recommend you contact the Service partner in your country. I hope you will get free new battery due to valid warranty.

  • Problems with the battery drain on iPhone 6

    Hello! This is my first time posting but I had some problems lately with my iPhone while keeping a charge.

    So, this has started to happen a month ago (exactly one year after I bought my iPhone) and my battery drains just exponentially and evacuates it sometimes when I'm not using it and the internet is not on. For example I'll fully my phone until I fall asleep and I'll put it on airplane mode before going to sleep. By the time I wake up, the battery will be down to 60%. I do not use it during this time, I don't get notifications because all data and the internet is disabled. I do not understand why it is empty.

    Anyway, I've taken to the Apple store Genius bar twice now and they have not been able to fix it. They have tried to restore it... I did that before I went to the Apple store, but they decided to do it again and the second time the guy just told me to turn off all the background app refresh or anything I did but it we continue to attract.

    When I was at the Apple store, they also checked my battery and everything was normal. I got 100 below the number of average cycles since the age of my phone and the battery was in the green at 94%.

    I am really frustrated after two trips to the store person has managed to fix my phone and I have the impression that they will try to coax me to pay for something that won't fix my phone. Also if there is a problem with Apple hardware and nothing of what I've done so why should I pay for it when it started to happen at the level of the one-year mark. It's so boring, but if anyone else has had a similar situation for advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes that is exactly what they are trying to avoid. As you explained that you have visited it there twice to attempt to solve this problem, they could have offered to replace your battery for $79 that with your current battery showing 94% of its original capacity, that would not have done much for you at all.

    Have you been having problems with the reception of your carrier recently, when all this started happening? Were you see 1 or 2 points of service when you used to see 3 or 4? When you have restored your iPhone, you restore it as a new iPhone or restore a backup top later? Just try to refine some possibilities for the continuous emission.

  • Equium L40-156 - problem with the battery or the charger?

    Hi all, I'm new here and have a question about my laptop.

    My laptop does not turn on when I play and hold the thread at the back of the laptop where it charges and I have to hold it in place while the laptop charge upwards and once I connected, is that after a matter of a few minutes (if there are that) it says low battery and stops.
    Is it my battery in the laptop that has disappeared or is it the charger adapter?

    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Hey,.

    Of course it is not easy to say which is the reason why, but according to your announcement, there seems to be problem AC adapter.
    I mean just start the laptop when you place the cable in place and if Windows starts up, it says low battery, so it s not charging but in the worst case, it could also be a malfunction of the motherboard.

    So if you can get a new power adapter you should test. It s worth a try! ;)

  • Problem with the battery under warranty

    It is the 4th month of my laptop (Pavilion dv6 3050tx) & the battery is not working as it should.

    Problem: *

    CASE 1:

    1. when the power adapter is connected: no current charging

    2. showing hp battery check: change the battery, failure ID: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

    After a certain time (like 2, 3 or 5 min):

    CASE 2: *

    1. when the power adapter is connected: recharge

    2. showing hp battery check: Status OK

    * Somtimes works well (status ok) & sometimes (poor condition).

    * Then after somtime CASE 1

    Please sombody help, what should I do ?

    Hello

    First, stop the laptop, unplug the AC adapter unplugged, remove the battery and then press and hold the power button for a minute.

    Now, plug in the power adapter and start the PC without the battery inserted, start Notepad, open windows control panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for the Batteries, do a right-click on theMicrosoft ACPI compatible with battery control method and selectUninstall - do uninstall not something else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut down the PC, unplug the AC adapter, reinsert the battery and then start the PC on just the battery.  Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - let Windows for a few minutes with nothing running. Then shut down the PC again.  Plug the AC adapter / back in and start the laptop to see if it contributed to the issue.

  • Satellite A660-17 t - PC Health Monitor shows the problem with the battery

    I have an A660-17 t I've had since November 2010, I used a good amount, but not always on the battery, I believe that the battery has between 10 and 20 on this charge/discharge cycles.

    I have updated the BIOS to v1.80 when I got the laptop, everything seemed to go well. Recently, in the last 2-3 weeks health monitoring software reports that the battery is in poor health, showing that the capacity is reduced to 40% of the original capacity. I do not believe this like when I work on battery I get several hours of use.

    I have today updated BIOS v1.90, although there is no changelog that I can find, he says just "enhanced features" or similar.

    Is this really a faulty battery, or it is somehow that the software correctly reads the value of the capacity of the battery due to a change in Windows or another change in the system? I don't see how a battery can work for the same amount of time it has always done and actually have a fault.

    Any thoughts? Should I return it to the retailer and report an outage, or is it worth the wait to see if a future update of operating system or driver solves this problem?

    Thoughts welcome!

    Hey,.

    > I do not think this as when I work on battery I get several hours of use.
    This means that you have the same time remaining on battery as before you saw the error of the integrity PC monitor?

    In this case, it seems that the battery is ok and it's maybe s simply the wrong tool of Toshiba information. Then I recommend to reinstall PC Health Monitor, which you can download from the official website of Toshiba:

  • Satellite L300 - problem with the battery and with the FN keys

    Hello

    Please help me with the following 2 problems:

    1. I bought 10 L300, 2009 with Vista, and then I switch to Win7. After that the FN do not work. I can use a couple of access keys, but anyway, they do not appear on top of the scr4een as if it was on Vista. You have the solution to work again?

    2. after the upgrade to Win7, my battery is almost dead. I use 230V taken to work on my laptop. I used my laptop properly and it is really surprised that the battery had a life so short. You have a similar experience or you may have a solution to work again?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    (1) install VAP (value added package) and Flash memory card Support utility.
    For example, you can find the driver area L500 software.

    (2) you can try to define some battery saving options in the power management Windows 7 in order to reduce the working time of battery.
    I switched to Windows 7 and the battery still works fine.

  • The problem with the battery on the Libretto U100

    Hello.

    The problem is the following: shortly after the start of the loading of the battery starts squeaking (or whistle, subtle signals coming from somewhere inside the laptop or battery) and after a while, stop the load! Windows displays a message, "Battery" unknown, to continue the exercises, you must remove and insert again the battery and so 5 times until the load is complete. And the absence of such an accusation, not more than 1 hour and 45 minutes.

    That's happened?

    Libretto U100

    Capitalist salvation,
    Remember john lennon? "It's easy".

    I think that this little piece of Tech is a bit old...
    and has been used for a period of time to stay...

    the battery disappeared, some cells can't hold not more fresh...
    therefor the voltage misscounted, leads to the "unrecognized".
    We must exchange the battery...

    but no problem for a capitalist you don't ;-)

  • BlackBerry Z10 problems with the battery while using the LTE

    Given that I am connected to LTE (4 G) battery is not longer than 8 hours. Is this normal?

    Use of the battery can vary from one user to another, based on dozens of factors, including running applications, intensity of the mobile signal, the overall health of battery, use of data, etc. There is no use of a normal battery without comparing many factors.

    But 8 hours use of the battery can be normal that Q10 with moderate to heavy use in an area with a great LTE signal at least.

  • Problem with the new Notes, do not sync with many testimonies

    I have several iCloud for work and my only personal accounts, since I just have an iPhone, I tried to synchronize all the accounts and their use on the same device.

    I found the following, maybe apple wants to examine, or re-thinking that he...

    HomeMac has my iCloud account staff, main on my iPhone, so the arrival of new tickets I've updated as suggested for the new features, everything went well.

    On my work, that I have a main and other iCloud for test account and so my main account on the desktop, it is not the main on the iPhone, is a secondary antibody and since last September did not want to synchronize the Notes, I couldn't find a reason to today where do more test with multiple accounts. Checking search for differences between accounts on Mac, configuration of web and iPhone iCloud Finally I saw the difference. Main account have the new interface of Notes on the iPhone, iCloud and Mac. Secondary accounts has old interface Notes on Mac / iCloud and iPhone, but always properly synchronized, so that on caos is just my main office account, which has "partially upgraded', when used a desktop Mac, it works under the new Notes interface, iCloud way suite, but at the time I check on a device where is a secondary antibody account he stopped to show me the new data upgrades or data, because it can not "mix" information, is as main account on iPhone has new tickets upgraded, but secondary accounts can not, do not know why, but I guess that has to do with the same question, you can only access info Pages, Numbers and Keynote, on a device, to your iCloud account main If you have a second account, there is no way you can access your information from these applications on the same iPhone / iPad.

    I was happy when Apple decided to make a second account iCloud on our devices and applications (Mail, Notes, calendar, Contacts, etc.) could manage the data separately, which has been a success, al at least for me, but now when Apps allow you to do more, when you try to make / get most of your devices, even once, we face limits that other applications has resolved as Instagram or Twitter where you can switch between the accounts and continue to use the App with a full capacity.

    For me, it is not 'normal' that if I updated a secondary account of new Notes and the iPhone can handle for the main account, this secondary account could not synchronize. I am committed to update on Mac to take advantage of the new features, but if yes, then what is supposed to do with my Notes on the secondary account if they no longer work...

    Please if anyone has an opinion on what might help solve, I will appreciate it.

    Thank you

    To understand, you must also understand how the notes are used to synchronize. Each IMAP account (emails mostly) have an underlying protocol used to perform the synchronization of notes. Icloud account is IMAP, Google is also (or they both have most of the components of the IMAP, but it is more complex then just). Sync IMAP notes would never let features advanced to be synchronized, so had to go with different type of synchronization of server Apple to improve the 'notes' (details - below) but that the clocks single server an account - main. For all those who have upgraded cannot go back and use the IMAP protocol. Therefore, when you add a few accounts to iphone only primary account has one capacity improved and other accounts synchronize using old IMAP.

    The specifications are in this article from apple.
