Battery error

Dear all
I accidently deleted the recovery partition toshiba l55-a5299 model while installing linux and moreover my laptop's screen is flickering when i plug in AC adapter.the battery icon in the right side of task bar is blinking. and screen flickers from  full brightness to low brightness.
when i took my laptop to service centre the technician asked me the problem is with the recovery parition. AFAIK recovery partition has nothing to do with charging?
i purchased this device and i wanna use it as per my req. i dont wanna stick to single windows for entire life.
can someone help me with this and also provide me a link for downloading exact drivers for toshiba satelitte l55-a5299.
thank you

Your drivers can all be found here.
The technician might have wanted to use the recovery partition to fix the charging issue. I'm not sure exactly.

  • Solution - Battery error is detected. Irreparable damage to the battery has been detected. Replace

    I own a T61 7658 I bough on 2008, it worked great with the default power settings until October 22nd I decided to change my power profile to MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.  
    Next day I received on Message Center...
     10/23/2010 - Battery health is critical. With the current system settings and a full charge, your battery can provide approximately 3.0 hours of use. A new battery could provide up to an estimated 5.5 hours.
    I kept using the Laptop with the Max performance until...
    11/12/2010 - Battery error is detected. Irreparable damage to the battery has been detected. Replace the battery with a new one. 
    I have used IBM/Lenovo  for years and even had used batteries for 5 years without a single issue.
    I have read many posts of people having the same problem not only with T61s, but many other Lenovo models, and also read posts of Lenovo's administrators suggesting this is normal and justifying that batteries should be good for at least 12 months and after that we are on own, basically meaning we should be thankful in name of our own safety that we had that battery protection and we must replace it at our own cost and forget about it.  That is a very easy way out, isn’t it.
    But certainly, not only batteries with more than 12 months are failing, even new batteries are and have been replaced with multiple exchange programs posted by Lenovo in their website just as in http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/batt/082009/LandingPage.html. and also in multiple MIGR battery replacement campaigns available to all online as well. 
    Good thing here is that Lenovo has recognized the problem and has exchange the batteries still under warranty and also few of the batteries without warranty limiting to some serial numbers on the MIGR battery replacement campaigns, but the bad side is that Lenovo is leaving behind other clients like me and many others not being selected for replacement.  But I’m sure we all have a good battery but turned useless due to the Lenovo programmed safety temperature limits in the power manager and the battery board.  Please let me explain.
    This is my conclusion.  There is nothing wrong with used or new batteries or their cells in 99% of the cases, I'm sure my battery is okay although is being turned useless by the battery protection feature on my T61.
    Lenovo must recognize the problem is the settings they have programmed on the power manager and battery protection board. It is very understandable that when users select a Power Scheme that demands higher amounts of power to generate better performance on the system this also demand additional power generating heat on battery and on the power supply as the computer is running at full performance, just as happens on my ipod when watching video, or in my kid’s R/C truck when running continuously and will happen with any other battery powered device.  
    Therefore any scheme requiring performance is generating heat and is tripping the battery protection and this is not a client’s fault, as are we just using an available scheme provided on our Lenovo system. If the battery protection is not calibrated to support this power demand, then there is a poor design/testing of the capabilities of the system and the battery protection parameters that instruct the battery to save itself from a fire or burning … which is understandable. 
    The bad side is that there is not possible reset option for the end users, the only option is to buy a new battery at our own cost after the 12 months of warranty, when the cause of the problem is originated in the computer system design settings and can happen at any time, that is way, the system warned me, as in:
     10/23/2010 - Battery health is critical. With the current system settings and a full charge, your battery can provide approximately 3.0 hours of use. A new battery could provide up to an estimated 5.5 hours.
    The computer is saying! At maximum performance, You are using too much power, and my battery will last just 3 hrs (9 cells on my system) instead of the 5.5 hrs that should last. But not only the running time was reduced, the heat on the power supply system and Battery was also increased due to the higher power demand, the battery can not handle the demand and protect itself to prevent fire or damage.
    So who has to pay for this?  Can Lenovo do something about it? For us client and for future clients?  This not a matter of having or not having warranty, this can happen at any time in any computer.
    I'm writing this hoping to be heard and supported and I hope LENOVO provides a satisfactory solution to the issue.  I'm not going to say will never buy Lenovo again I already did, I invested my money on Lenovo and with warranty or not I'm looking forward to get a decent response.  
    Lenovo must change the parameters for tripping battery protection probably handled at BIOS level, and to provide a reset feature to all "locked" batteries there is many people that has lost at least one battery, some other more than that.  Since even if we get a replacement, the chances  the issue will continue is there, as long as I select a high power demand scheme the problem sooner or later will be back.   Even car makers support their clients beyond the warranty if they detect that the issue compromises safety and their reputation.  Fix it.

  • Service Battery error message for a battery that looks ok

    Hello,
    I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro with model number 5,5 and after upgrading my hard drive to a WD scorpio black 750GB and also adding 8 GB of Kingston memory I get a Service Battery error message. My OS is 10.6.8. The strange is that my battery is in a fairly good condition. I did check with coconut battery and it looks ok. I also add a print screen.
    Does anyone knows how can I remove this error message ? 
    Do I have to replace my battery ?

    Service battery means replace battery as soon as possible.
    Reset SMC and see whether it changes the notification.

    I am receiving an error message when I start my laptop HP G62 Internal battery error 601? What does it means please provide me solution ASAP

    Israr,
    Then error indicates that the primary battery (the one you can remove and replace) has a hardware failure.  You should run Battery Check in HP Support Assistant.

  • Battery Error 601 and Notebook will not boot

    My notebook will not bootup anymore.  It was running fine then I just closed the screen and went to class.  Usually this just puts it to sleep.  When I opened it back up, it would not start...  It was totally dead.  When I plug it into the charger, I see a "Pimrary Battery Error" 601 displayed for a few seconds and then it starts to bootup.  It never fully boots-up, it shuts off totally before I get past the little HP splash.
    When I plug the charger into the notebook, I see the charging orange LED for a little while, but then it switches to white and then back to orange and then totally off.   I have tried multiple chargers and it always does the same thing.
    Since the notebook will not boot even when plugged in, I am suspecting something in the charging system/main board more than the battery.  Is there anyway to tell which components are bad?
    This is an almost 2 year old Envy 4-1215dx, Product ID: D1A99UA#ABA 
    It's been a great notebook upto now...  Any ideas on what to check and how?
    Steve

    Here's a link with an explaination and troubleshooting steps for the error you are experiencing.
    HP Battery Alert
    You can also try a Hard Reset in order to get you PC to boot long enough to run a diagnostics.
    Hard Reset
    You may also try with the battery removed and just the AC Adapter.
    If nothing seems to work you can always try a new main battery since they usually are fairly inexpensive. Just Google the Part# shown on your battery.

    Even though you're out of your warranty period (unless you purchased AppleCare) I would take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them test the battery. 418 cycle counts is very high for a computer just 14 months old - you may have been letting the battery completely drain before plugging back up to mains or simply not following Apple's 'advice' on how to get the most mileage out of your battery.
    Apple considers the battery to be a user consumable item - and if you've not treated your battery well, it may be reaching the point of half-way consumption, at least. The very worst that could happen is that Apple could recommend replacing your battery: and the cost isn't that great.

  • Service battery error after upgrading to Mavericks

    Immediately after upgrading to Mavericks my Mid 2009 MacBook Pro that was purchased in September of 2013 received a service battery error.  The laptop will continue to charge while plugged in, but loses battery power at an alarming rate when unplugged.  Has Apple addressed this problem yet, and when can we expect a solution or repair for this?

  • Satellite A200-X01 - Battery Error on Windows 7

    Hello, I woke my computer from sleep mode and found a popup stating I had a battery error.
    I was wondering if this is a common thing or if its a Windows 7 error?

    Hi DocWinters,
    What happens if you restart the notebook? Does the error still occur?
    I doubt its a common issue. In my opinion it sounds like that the battery needs replacing because its consumables and can only be charged/recharged 500 times I think.
    You can get a new battery from an authorized service provider! :)

  • Thinkpad X201 critical low battery error 0190

    I just bought a new battery recently because the one I had was completely dead, but now every time I try rebooting I get "0190 critical low battery error".
    I've already updated the BIOS and I'm seeing no other results on Google to try to fix this. The only way I can boot up my laptop without getting that error is if I have the charger plugged in, but if it's not then I'll keep getting that error over and over.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Moderator comment: Please refrain from bumping your thread(s) / post(s) more frequently than 3 days. Doing so, unfairly, pushes other members' threads downwards. Bumping post(s) removed.

    Maybe it's a faulty battery. There are numerous reports about non-genuine Lenovo batteries being built with substandard or even dangerous components. Personally, I never use anything but genuine batteries in any of my ThinkPads. They are more expensive, but I've never been disappointed.
    Do you have access to another known-good battery to test? Maybe a friend or colleague?

  • Battery Error after Power Manager Update

    ThinkPad T520, Win7 Pro 64. 
    TVSU updates Power Manager to V. 6.38. Immediately on reboot notification area shows 0% power and a message stating that a battery error has occurred. The battery LED is now blinking orange and the battery will not charge. Considering that the battery was fully charged and had only 31 cycles on it (although it dates to October 2011) I can only assume that the software has killed the battery. Again, prior to the update there were no indications that the battery was malfunctioning or even losing capacity.
    Uninstalling Power Manaager  did not help. Re-installing Power Manager did not help.
    Is there a way to reset the battery? Am I locked in to buying a Lenovo battery to avoid task bar notifications of a non-genuine battery? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Here in Mexico these batteries are very, very expensive.

  • X61s battery error

    Hi
    I got an IBM x61s 7666 av3 last october. Something happened to the battery suddenly today, I don't know what's going on. I started it and then the laptop went dead surprisingly. And then I tried the power buttom to start it again. But nothing came out. I got in the plug and it worked but the battery light kept flashing. When I got the Vista, I noticed that there was a note balloon from power manager, said ' A battery error has occured. the battery can't be charged. Replace the battery.' Every time I tried to use the battery instead of attaching AC adapter, x61s just shut down immediately.
    And now, my question is what I could do to deal with this? Get a new battery? Is my warranty still working? If have to, can I get a new free battery? Anyboby can help?
    also get me at [email protected]
    thanks for any help

    The usual battery warranty is 12 months from the date of purchase. But some battery have extended warranty to 18 months for possible known manufacturing defects.

  • "battery error has occured - battery cannot be charged". new 07/08

    Installed a new Lenova battery in July 2008.  Today  a message "battery error has occured - battery cannot be charged".   the Power Manager said the battery was in good condition.  Is this an error on the part of the computer or is there another recall on the batteries?  Should definitely last longer than this.  Thanks for your help.

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
    There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
    Hope this helps,

    The 601 error is a problem with the main battery which I suspect is just old. Have you tried removing the battery and starting the laptop with just the power adapter?

  • X61 battery error

    The battery on my 3-month old X61 cannot be charged any more. The battery indicator blinks in yellow. The power manager just says "A battery error has occured. The battery cannot be charged. Please replace the battery." Anyone got similar problem?

    I have had the same problem with my X41 battery. I downloaded a update for my battery and when I installed the update my computer flashed my battery firmware making the battery incompatible with Xp. The sad part is that I have had my battery for more than a year which makes it out of warranty and the condition of the battery is greater than 50% so I do not see why I need to upgrade/buy a new battery like Lenovo is recommending.
    When I first recognized my problem I called Lenovo and they said it was probably my motherboard. So I had them replace my motherboard and my case. Then that seem to not fix the problem so they told me to reinstall Windows Xp. After reinstalling my OS my problems still persisted, so now I am in a battle with Lenovo to get me a new battery.
    So to everyone out there DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR BATTERY FIRMWARE! Unless you are comfortable knowing that Lenovo will not help you if it goes bad. If only lenovo would fix their patch I would be so much more happy right now.
