Battery is not recognized properly on Satellite L500

Hi all.
Ive Toshiba Satellite L500 with Windows7. Two days ago a red cross appeared over battery indicator and notice: 30% available, plugged in, not charging. Consider replacing your battery.
And when I plug off AC laptop shuts down. I replaced the battery but the same action when plug out AC the computer shuts down. Run some antivirus programs no results. I installed a battery tester who told me that battery is not installed. Run SCF program not bad files.
Tried with power manager no results.
My battery works well on other similar laptop.
Pls help !!!

Hi mate
Are you using the latest BIOS?
Please check this!
You can access the BIOS pressing F2 at the beginning.
There you will find the BIOS version.
Compare this with the available BIOS on Toshiba page and update it if necessary.
I cannot say for sure that this would solve you problem but its definitely worth a try.

  • Web cam is not recognized properly on Satellite L500D

    Hi
    I have a Satellite L500D when I login in the web cam app pops up and say web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer.
    I press ok and the app closes down so I checked the device manager and there were no camera devices.
    I downloaded the driver twice and still can`t see the driver in the device manager area.

    Hi
    Thats pretty strange.
    Is your notebook preinstalled with original Toshiba recovery image (factory state)?
    Everything is possible and it can be defective cam but best way to find it out is to install OS again using Toshiba HDD recovery installation. After doing this you will have factory state again.
    With factory settings every hardware component should work properly.
    Do not install any additional software. After finishing OS installation check webcam functionality to see if the same will happen again. if there is the same situation contact nearest Toshiba service and explain the situation.

  • New DVD drive not recognized on my Satellite Pro 4600

    Hi all,
    I have recently bought a brand new NEC ND-6650 DVD writer.
    This drive is NOT recognized by my Satellite Pro 4600, at all - neither Windows 2000 nor in the BIOS (v 2.60). Bios updates higher than version 2.60 are not provided.
    Does this mean I can forget about using the new writer in my old notebook?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Nils

    Hi Nils,
    I suspect that your new drive may be not be compatible with your notebook. As with all optical drives your new drive will be configured as either Slave or Master (or possible cable select), and this configuration must match your notebook.
    Usually your hard drive will be configured as Master on IDE channel 0 with your optical drive being the slave device on the same channel. However, you may find that your optical drive is configured as Master on IDE channel 1.
    Normally the setting is pre-configured by the manufacturer so you will need to check both the conficuration of your new drive and the configuration of your original drive to make sure that they are the same.
    regards,

    My battery is not recognized
    If the battery in your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro is fully drained of power, the battery will put itself into a low power state to preserve its ability to charge in the future. Connect your Mac Notebook to AC power and allow it to charge for at least five minutes. If the connect to power screen persists after charging for five minutes, reset the SMC.

  • One or more of cells in the battery are not functioning properly?

    one or more of cells in the battery are not functioning properly
    I assume this means I need a new battery?  This was the message I got when I did the battery check.  
    The battery will not charge.  Laptop just runs on AC power and battery is in but will not charge.  What happens that causes cells in battery to not work?  I did leave it off a few months.  Would take make the battery go bad?
    Thanks for any info you can give me.  Have a HP G60-230US Notebook PC

  • My E3-111 laptops battery is not recognized from the very first startup,, please help me

    hi frnds i just bought a brand new acer e3-111 laptop but from its first statup the battery is not recognized and mot charging,, i have tried removing and re plugging the battery...i f any one know what to do please help me,,,

    In all honesty, your best bet is to scour the Apple web site and find an older version of iTunes, download it, do a full erase/uninstall of your current version (even get rid of the preferences file), and install the newly-downloaded version of iTunes. The only drawback is that you can't even use your old iTunes Library file, so you have re-establish EVERYTHING.
    But at least then you'll be using an older, better version of iTunes.

  • HDMI output not working on my Satellite L500

    The HDMI output on my Satellite L500 seems to have stopped working in the past few months.
    I've tried different cables but it is still not working.
    Any ideas?

    When you press FN+F5 key combination while notebook is not connected with HDMI cable, you will see one option (LCD) only. When you connect HDMI cable can you see other additional options like LCD, LCD+HDMI, HDMI and so on?
    Please be also sure that right HDMI port on your TV is enabled.
    By the way: which OS do you use?

  • IPod "not recognized properly" by 7.4.1: What to do?

    I updated to iTunes 7.4.1 this AM and after the update, plugged in my iPod (3G, with click wheel) and got the "do not disconnect" screen and this message:
    "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again." After I click OK, the "charging" screen appears.
    I have not been able to recover from this or to get my iPod to sync. I have tried:
    1. Disconnecting & reconnecting the iPod with the dock, without the dock, to the same USB port, to a different USB port.
    2. Resetting the iPod.
    3. Reinstalling iTunes 7.4.1 by downloading it from the Apple site, rather than doing so through Software Update.
    4. Repairing permissions.
    I haven't tried replacing the USB cable, because the one I have worked a couple of days ago, the last time I sync'ed, with 7.4. I don't have a firewire cable that works, so I can't try that.
    Questions:
    1. What does that error message really mean?
    2. What can I do that I haven't already done, to make my iPod sync to iTunes 7.4.1?
    3. Should I go back to a prior version of iTunes? Where would I find it on Apple's site?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Seriously, something's been wrong with my iPod too, since I downloaded the 7.4 iTunes... although I've been experiencing some wierd things before the 7.4. I have a one GIG, 1.3.1 iPod nano, and it was detected just fine with the iTunes on the CD my nano came with. Later with the next update, though, my black nano (on iTunes) turned to a white nano. And so I just dismissed this as just a minor technical difficulty, but then on the next update my nano was recognized as like one of the regular iPods; the version before the "iPod Classic." Then on the next, it was being shown (on my iTunes 'Ipod Summary')as that very first nasty looking iPod.
    But my music was still all good, these were just aesthetic difficulties. And then i got the message that, "oh there are these new updates for iTunes, would you like to download?" and i just kept refusing them; i didn't want to see my iPod nano demeaned again. But just yesterday I finally decided to stop avoiding it and I updated my iTunes.
    What happened was that I got this message that said, "Oh, well the playlist requires you need 946.7 mB and you only have 896 mB [i wonder why they say 1 gig if it doesnt reach 1000 mB X_X]. Would you like to make a selection-playlist to transfer to your iPod [or something]" so i chose, okay. I only have 880 mB of songs in my iTunes, so I was wondering what was up... But then that's about the time when I got that message:
    "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again."
    So then I looked into "About iTunes" in my Windows XP Start, and I read:
    "With iTunes 7.4, sync your favorite music and more with the new iPod nano (third generation), iPod classic, and iPod touch..."
    Here's where i first discovered the new, 3rd generation iPod. Given that the "about" document says that it focuses on the "New iPod nano", and all the other fancy hardware, I think that Apple Company just made my 1.3.1 nano useless... since the new nano has a whole new user interface and stuff, it would need more mB for it (just as my message told me; i need "946.7 mB").
    This is what I think... and i hate that my 2-year old nano is like broken now. Now when i plug it in, it doesn't even show up in the 7.4 iTunes. Only my windows recognizes it. And then this weird thing happens where the nice sharpness and color of my nano turns plain black and white; showing not a red and clean "do not"-sign like it used to, but a black and white one in cheap resolution, like the retro-verson iPods. I managed to fool around with it a couple of times and i got caught in a series of "warning" windows:
    (1) "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." -- i click "Ok"
    (2) i click "restore"
    (3) "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the internet. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again. Would you like to restore with the same version as your iPod has now [version 1.3.1] instead?" -- I click "Use same version"
    (4) "Are you sure you want to restore iPod "iPod" (it was originally called "shona" b4 i updated my iTunes) to its factory setting? All of your songs and other data will be erased (even though it was already erased since my first "not recognized" message)." -- i click "restore"
    (5) "Your iPod has been restored...it will reappear in window... this message will close in 15 seconds." lol i couldn't write all of this one down. -- the window closes. AND so then my iPod seems back to normal (again; i had already done this once before), and it is showing me if i want my language in Enlgish, Dutch, etc... and then.....
    (6) "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again."
    But at least it's not stuck in the retro-style form; i can navigate through the 1.3.1 nano interface. I felt i had to log my experience down... I wonder how long has 7.4.1 iTunes been out?? It seems like my 1.3.1 nano isn't the only one affected by the new iTunes... i think it is because it focuses on the new iPods: Nano 3rd Gen.; iPod Classic...
    Before all this; i uninstalled the 7.4.1 iTunes, installed the 6.0-something iTunes that came with my 1.3.1 nano to see if i was right to suspect that. However, even with the 6.0 iTunes, my 1.3.1 nano didn't work; i got a message saying that it was "corrupted." although i still point to 7.4 for this. then i re-updated to 7.4, and that's where my story here began.
    Does anyone have an explanation for what has happened to my 1.3.1 iPod? Is it out of date? I'm probably going to get the newer nano... at a later time, like next year. Until then, I really need my music =[

  • Dial UP Modem is not working properly in Satellite A200-1GB

    My A200 - 1 GB's modem is not working properly. It tries to connect but at last it says remote computer is not responding. As i noticed It has a "Agree" 56kpbs modem.
    It shown as Toshiba Software Modem.
    I tried so many times it doesn't work properly. I tried by changing the assigned COM ports to several other COM ports like COM1,COM10,COM 4 ext... same thing occurs.
    When I diagnose the modem via the modem properties no matters found.
    Same as when I'm dialing through the modem to a telephone (i mean as a call) it's working properly. I mean it can call to a mobile phone or land phone.
    But the same phone line is working properly with my desktop modem as same as another HP laptop modem.
    It seems there is some malfunction on my 56k modem.
    I tried even uninstalling and reinstalling but still the matter exists.
    Can anybody help me in this case?

  • USB DVD Burner connected to Portege 3500 is not recognized properly

    I am trying to connect an HP DVDv 940e DVD Burner to my Portege 3500.When I connect the device it is not recognized and the device manager list it as an unknown mass storage device without driver. Where can I get this driver?

    the solution to the question is: find a computer which will accept the external burner, look what the driver for the mass storage device is called. in my case usbstor. search your computer for "usbstor". there should be at leat 3 different files (.sys .inf and another one),copy these onto your computer, and when you try to install the mass storage device in the device manager, direct the hardware assistant to these files. it should accept the driver it did with me. If there are more problems after that use the same method, find the working drivers on the other computer and copy all files of that name to your computer, showing the hardware assistant where to look.

  • Battery is not charging on my Satellite A110

    6 months ago my adapter stopped working. I replaced it with a universal one that worked well for some time. Then I got a problem.
    When I connect the adapter to the laptop the blue light indicating power supply burns ok. The battery light turns orange for 10 sec, then it goes off, and again 10 sec on. After these last 10 seconds is goes off and stays off.
    It does this when the computer is on and when it is off. In the windows task bar is says ""battery not charging "". I bought a new battery. I could load the new battery and after some time the problem occurred again. Then the laptop worked fine for two weeks and no it is giving the same problem again.
    Does someone have any idea what this could be? Adapter? (I tried several ones with the right voltage and amperage, battery (both original and new battery give the same problem) or motherboard?

    Hi mate
    BIOS update might help. Not sure if this solution would apply to your A110 Satellite but it worth a try
    However, it`s also important that you would use a original and compatible AC adaptor. The usage of wrong AC adaptor could affect the battery charging and it could be possible that after some time of usage, the battery could damage
    I think the motherboard issue might be possible too but in my opinion the usage of compatible and original parts is essential.
