Equium A210 and new battery battery

Hi...
got in touch with pc world about battery. They said I have to buy a new 1 because they are classed as consumables, even though the laptop is still in warranty
Can Toshiba do anything about battery?

Hi
Warranty covers the battery for just one year (12 month).
So if your battery is older then 12 month the warranty will not cover the battery replacement and if you need a new one then you will have to pay for the battery.
But I think you could also contact the ASP in your country for more details. The guys should be helpful.

Old and new battery both ~2 hour life, recently very loud fan

1)
My macbook pro, which was purchased April 2006, had suddenly dropped its battery life from about ~4 hours to ~2 in January. I noticed this because I traveled back home by plane with a 4 hour battery life for winter, and within weeks the life had dropped to ~2.
I already reset the system (i.e., remove battery, hold down start for 5 seconds, etc) with no avail. This was with the old battery. The apple store tried the same thing, was stumped, and decided to just give me a new battery.
The older battery was the replacement for the 'dud' my macbook pro was originally given. This new battery should be perfectly fine, but the battery life is still ~2 hours. I tried the system reset with this battery--which didn't work. I have also reduced the battery life to just about zero then charged it again--which didn't work.
Could there possibly be something wrong with the hardware? What can I do to fix it, what is the best course of action to fix this one problem?
2)
Just a few days ago a fan in the top left corner has begun to behave strangely. It has become very loud and seemingly inconsistent even with low CPU usage. By inconsistent I mean it sounds as if it has become loose or it won't maintain a constant speed. The best description for the sound would be 'boiling water.' What could be the cause for this and how can I go about fixing this problem?
Any input is greatly appreciated!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Purchased April 2006

Have you checked your battery's serial number against the MBP battery exchange program? I did this out of curiousity with mine and it turned that mine was one of the faulty ones! So Apple sent me a new one and I sent the duff one back. It was still fairly new at the time so it still held a good charge.
2)
I had the fan thing but mine was on the right hand side. Your BEST bet...(what I did) open up quicktime and RECORD the noise several times at different operating conditions and save the files.
send your machine to a service centre and ask for an email address to send the files to so the technician can hear what you hear. I recorded it behaving normally as well so they could hear the difference.
The 1st time mine went in it behaved itself for them so they had to give it back to me, that's when I recorded the noises! I emailed the files before I sent my MBP back again, they took one listen and said they'd order the fans, BEFORE I sent it in. They called me to say that the fans were in so in it went for the replacement.
Hope it helps - mine sounded like it was going to explode and rip apart the inside! I can email you the files if you like?

New camera dies Rebel t5i with old and new battery

Camera is 12 months old and the original battery appears as if not holding a charge. After charging, the camera will come on and die when pressing the shutter button to take a picture. I purchased a new battery, charged it and the same happens again. Seems that maybe the old battery may not be dead after all. Could this be the charger or is this a camera issue. If a camera issue where do I go to get this looked at. Bought camera at best buy. You think this caliper camera would last longer than a year???

Are there any third party components involved in charging or using your camera? Did you, for example, add a 3rd party battery grip?
I ask, because just occcasionally we'll get this sort of question where the camera fails to perform as expected but the person seeking help didn't mention the 3rd party component. Once we find out about it and eliminate it from the test... suddenly the camera works fine again.
Canon factory batteries tend to last many years assuming you are using the original Canon charger (I do NOT like to use "fast" chargers as they stress the battery trying to charge it in a hurry and shorten it's life.)
When you insert a freshly charged battery and power it up... does the rear LCD screen come to life and, if so, do you see the battery charge level indicator showing that the battery is full?
This may be a problem with the camera itself and/or with one of it's cut-off switches. There are two micr-switches will cause the camera to immediately power down if they are not engaged. One is on the battery compartment door. The other is on the memory card door. If you power up the camera then VERY SLOWLY open these doors, you should find that you can open them about 1mm and then the camera will power off. If you barely touch the door and the camera shuts down, then it may be that you have a bad switch. Make sure the two doors are undamaged and able to close easily without any obstructions (if they aren't fully closed, it would make sense that your camera spontaneously shuts down.)
You may need to contact Canon service for help as there's no "setting" that would make the camera do this. The T5i is a good camera, but it's just possible you have a problem with yours -- it happens and it's not an indicator of low quality. I bought a new car that had a water pump failure within the first 5000 miles (that was a shock) even though everybody else with the same model car didn't have a problem with their water pump. It happens. Could they increase quality control to the point that it'd be very hard to get a car released with a bad water pump? Well... they could improve build standards, testing standards, and inspection standards... that would REALLY drive up the price tag of that car... and just occasionally they'd still get a bad one anyway. You can never get quality to 100% for any product.

Laptop turns off after 2 seconds on mains and new battery

Hi everyone,
I have a HP HDX16 model X16-1010EA
The problems and what I have done so far
Stays on for a second or 2 then powers off. I have a couple of spare mains adapters that are the same spec and fit so tried them, same things happens. So adapter looks OK.
Bought a new battery, stayed on for 5 mins (got to desktop) then powered off. Then it went back to 1 or 2 seconds before powering off.
Left it plugged into the mains without turning it on for a couple of days. Tried again, it powered up. As soon as I got to the desktop I checked the power status, it said the battery was 20% and charging, kept my eye on it and a couple of mins later it said the battery was 14% and charging, a couple of mins later 9% and charging, then the laptop died a couple of mins later.
I have removed the battery and done the 'power reset' (finger on the power button for over a min to discharge) have tried to power it on with the 3 mains leads, the lights come on for 1 or 2 seconds then it dies as before.
The mains lead light on the laptop comes on when you plug the mains lead in on the side. I have tried all 3 leads, all the same results. Any idea's will be greatfully received!
Am currently leaving it plugged in and off in the hope I get 5 mins 'on' time in a couple of days to go into device manager and do the following solution which someone else has posted, but the procedure says to remove the battery before doing this which I cannot do because it will not power up without a battery installed, so don't know if it will work. As I'm desperate, I will try anything!
Open Device Manager
Click the plus (+) sign next to Batteries category, right-click all of the "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" listings, and select Uninstall In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK. (it’s ok if you only have 1 of these).
Click the plus (+) sign next to System Devices.
Right-click the “ACPI Fixed Features Button" and select Uninstall. In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK.
Shutdown
Disconnect AC
Insert battery
Thanks in advance for any solutions coming back!

Try a hard reset
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button
Please post your positive or negative results here in your thread.
Have you ever used a can of PC compressed air to clean the intake and exhaust cooling vents on the bottom of your
notebook?
Are you able to access the EFI diagnostics?
Does the charging led come on when the notebook is plugged into the power adapter or just the power led?
regards,
erico

6220 Classic and New Battery Fun!

Hi
I have a 6220 Classic and purchased a new Nokia battery for it (as a spare) but when I insert it the phone after maybe 10 mins says "Insert Sim Card" but when I put the battery that came with the phone back in all is fine.
Has anyone else had this problem

Are you sure you have bought an original nokia battery and not one of the many fakes that circulate through places like ebay?
If it is an original it is very odd and can't explain why it's doing it. I would certainly return it and try another.

X40 and new battery....again

Hello,
I have aquite old x40 which have worked 100% pefect until now. I guess the battery is original, but to my luck it still have little charging capasity in it.
I bought from ebay new (China) battery, and it looked to work ok, except: it died alltough the gauge shows something betwen 65 to 75%. I have upgraded BIOS and Power Managemet s/w with no luck.
After several removings of battery and chargening between those two batteries the new on finally does not take any current anymore. The gauge shows 75%, but I think actually it does not have allmost anything current in it. The old one works perfectly well.
What to do?

lead_org wrote:
return the generic battery to the seller.
Probably that is the the right move. Definitely I won't buy genuine part for a machine which's value is roughly 40 eur or less. With new original battery it's value would rise for more than a double
I tired to google different wakeup seremonies (removing ACPi etc) but with no luck.

I ignored the (with price) part. Sorry.

What to do with your old RAM? Just trash it or label it and put it in an anti-static bag and put it in your 'parts' drawer. Or trash it. Or give it away. It's not worth anything.
Good luck,

Re: Equium A210 and Screen Replacement

Hi,
I need to replace the screen on my A210-1C4. Would the screen from an A210-1AS fit this model?
Any help appreciated thanks.

According notebook specification both notebook models have absolutely identical displays so you can use it.

PowerBook G4 probably needs new battery and power jack. Worth the repair?

I have a PowerBook G4 that is about 4.5 years old, with a 1.33 GHz Processor, 512 MB RAM, and a 60 GB HD. I got a new MacBook Pro recently, so I'm trying to sell this old PowerBook, but there are a couple problems with it.
One is that it still has the battery the computer came with, so it's safe to say that it's dead. Another problem is that there's a minor dent on the side by the power jack that makes the interface a bit fussy. Sometimes it needs to be fiddled with to contact correctly. So, in addition to a new battery, the external casing (and/or the DC-in) may need to be repaired, and I know doing so is few hundred dollars. Is it worth it for this computer? It's going on 5 years old, so I'm wondering if other things (like the hard drive), are going to fail soon.

Is it worth it for this computer? It's going on 5 years old, so I'm wondering if other things (like the hard drive), are going to fail soon.
Looking at ebay, there are two Powerbook 1.33Ghz models with bids between $185 and $249. If you're looking to sell it, and the hard drive is operating fine now, it's longevity shouldn't be a concern. That said, notebook hard drives do seem to have a higher failure rate the 3-5 year range than desktop drives.
Replacing the lower case, DC-in card, and new battery can run you around $450. You'd almost be better off taking it to Apple, to see if they'd send it to the Apple depot for around $325 to repair the DC-in problem. (I just sent one to the Apple depot for a logic board replacement, and they replaced the battery, too). Even so, you might have difficulty recouping that in a sale.
It does have Leopard, which may help the price you might get when you sell it.

Zen Nano Plus - Used Battery vs. New Battery Prob

I downloaded some WMA files from Walmart.com and successfully transferred them to my Zen Nano Plus. They played fine. But the battery, which was already low on power, died. I switched in a new battery and tried playing WMA files, but they would only play for about three seconds before the mp3 player shut off.
I switched back in the old battery and the WMA files played just fine.
Both the old and new battery play the MP3 files, so there's no problem there.
Is the problem related to voltage or something? Please help.

New Battery Still not working

So about a week ago my laptop (a bit over a year old) randomly died. I found out through friends that it was the battery. When I plugged my laptop in, it would work, but took several tries to actually turn on. When it was on, the battery icon read 0%. Today I went to MicroCenter to buy a new battery. Now the icon does read that it is charging, but the power cord is on orange except for the initial moment when I turn the laptop on. Also, it won't turn on unless it is plugged in, which is a problem for me. Once turned on, it will stay on though. Help?

you can try reseting the SMC -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?locale=en_US
Other than that, if you still have the old battery, bring both the old and new battery and your pwr adapter(along with your laptop) to an Apple Store or your local service provider : http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
and have them run a battery/adapter test (I can't speak for apple, but most service providers will run this test for free)

Equium A210: broken screen

Hi,
I have a Equium A210 and yesterday when i switched it on the backround on the screen was broken.
You can see the ink where it has broken.
I've gone back to where i bought it (its only 2mths old) and they wont do anything about it because its not covered and I rang and will cost nearly 400.
Has this happened to anyone as it wasnt dropped and nothing fell on it. HELP!!!!
Thanks
Shirley

Hi,
thats normal that they wont repair under warranty. This case has nothing to do with warranty, since its a physical damage of the screen and not something electrical.
In your case I would firstly thinkabout who has also access to your machine (father, sister, friend, girlfriend, bla..) and ask them if they laid something on the LCD.
If not, then your next step would be to send the machine to an Authorized Service Provider and ask them for a checkup. Maybe it was some kind of stress crack which was caused trough some wrong assembling in the factory (which is almost impossible but its an theory).
Please go to the Toshiba Homepage and then go to -> Support & Downloads -> Support Homepage -> Repairs & Servicing -> Find an Authorized Service Provider
and search for the nearest Service Partner in your country.
Call them, talk with them and send the machine to them if the demand it.

Equium A300 won't recognise new battery

I just got a new battery for my laptop. I plugged it in and it powers up ok and runs ok on the battery power, however..... the battery meter on the taskbar is not recognising the new battery.
I get error message "Battery not Detected" when battery attached and AC plugged in, and I get "Unknown Remaining" when just on battery and AC removed.
My specs are as follows:
Toshiba Equium A300D-13X
Windows Vista Home Premium
Replacement Battery Generic Brand PA3534U-1BRS
Li-ion 11.1V/7200mAh
(Original Battery Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS
Li-ion 10.8V/4000mAh
replaced due to discharging very quickly: 20 mins)
Any help is appreciated about what I need to do to get the battery meter working.

I agree with Syntax.
I think the issue is related to the new battery possibly you are using a wrong one or one which is not fully compatible
I see that that new battery does not support the same voltage
You should get in contact with the local ASP (service partner) and should order the right and compatible battery recommended by Toshiba.

Equium A210 - CMOS battery replacement possible?

My Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 appears to be having a CMOS battery problem in that it does not keep the BIOS settings.
I have bought a replacement main power battery and a/c adapter to rule out a/c power issues but the POST beaps and CMOS keeps coming up a Checksum error and once in the BIOS and save settings it boots successfully but if the laptop restarts or is switched off it does it all over again. I have also updated the BIOS successfully so it is not the BIOS chip. The only thing I can think of is replacing the CMOS battery - can this be done?
I have read that some are soldered on? Would Toshiba service this laptop to replace the CMOS battery / check for faults - if so, how much would it cost, or can someone else do it as the laptop is out of warranty.
Any advice please?

Hi Emases2010,
As far as I know some batteries are fixed/soldered on mainboard and cant replace but I think only a notebook technician can give you a detailed answer.
Normally you can charge the CMOS battery if you leave the AC/DC adaptor connected over night or in best case 24 hours. After this the battery should be fully charged.
Check this!!!

New battery isn't detected on Equium A300D-16C

Hi,
This is my first post on the site. I have an issue with a new battery on my Equium A300D-16C. (no battery detected)
The original one that I had for the computer died after two years of use so I had to order a new one as a replacement. I have received it and it itself works fine, giving me 90 minutes charge. But the problem is that it isnt detected by the computer when I click on the power icon on the bottom bar of screen, so I dont know how long I have left with it. Also, the orange light that indicates it is charging should go white upon it being full of charge, mine just starts flashing orange after a while (is this when it is fully charged?).
I took the mains out of my computer a few minutes ago and it cut out and I had to switch it back on again, despite the battery being in and it being full of charge (as it has been in all day and the mains have been in for decent length periods).
What can I do to solve this?
Worth mentioning I am not too good with computers so everything might be best explained really, really simply as I am not the cleverest when it comes to this area.
thanks

> Now when i take the mains power out, the computer cuts out and shuts off within minutes without it being able to be turned back on
Seems the battery is empty and therefore notebook shuts down when AC adaptor has been disconnected.
There are two possibilities:
Either the new battery is faulty or there is something wrong with motherboard power supply electronic.
I think both should be checked.
