Satellite A300d - New battery not detected

I recently got a new battery PA3533U-1B RS/AS for my aged Satellite A 300d.
When I place the new battery in the laptop, unplugged, press power button, the red battery indicator flashes several times, no power.
When i plug in the mains to the laptop, the red battery indicator stays red as-though charging, once windows has loaded the battery shows as Not Detected.
I have checked connection and gone through device manager- unistall/install but come to no luck. This is the 3rd replacement battery I've had from this company who have a very positive review. Is it my laptop or the battery?
I do have a good faithful 20 minutes battery that recognises every time and charges without a problem.
If you could please help it would actually stop me from going crazy, thanks in advance :)

Hi Paolo,
Thanks for your reply. I have kept the battery on charge for 12 hours +, both the 2nd and 3rd battery I have received, and neither of them show as detected.
When the laptop is off, new battery in, ac in, red light stays on for about an hour then it continuously flashes. This happens with both. After charging it won't turn on until insert ac, then when windows loads, bat not detected.
When I put my original battery in in turns on without ac, and battery shows and info correct.
I will speak to the dealer again, I returned the 1st battery, once i reported 2nd one faulty, he sent me a 3rd. The dealer has really positive feedback and good comment, it's just baffling?!
Thanks again for your help.
Daniel

At first it didn't charge. But after doing a power reset, it charged up. And then I did a charge/discharge cycle. The problem is that right after I did my first discharge to break it in, the battery was not detected again. So I ran through everything. Power cycles. Uninstalled ACPI battery driver and reinstallled it to no avail Updated my bios to 1.80, since there's not 3.0 version for my lappy model. My old battery still charges though my laptop still tells me it needs to be replaced.
So...
Is there anything more I can do? Should I just return it and get a new replacement battery or is there still anything else that can be done? Was it just not compatible with my laptop even though it said it was? Any help would be great! Thanks!

Battery not charging, not being recognized, or losing charge
If it still doesn't work, there may be a problem with the battery or a hardware problem in the laptop itself.

Equium A300D-16C - Battery not detected after replacement

I have a Equium A300D-16C. The original battery was shot so I purchased a Genuine PA3727-1brs 12 cell battery. I have put it in the laptop it appears to charge it but in the corner it still says no battery detected even though its on charge. When I take out the charger it will say unknown remaining.
I have tried the usual tricks of going into device manager and uninstalling the apci compliant control and still it has not sorted it self out. I have also updated my bios to the most recent one. I just wanted to know what else could I do so I can see how much battery is left and if the laptop can recognise i.,

Hello
Is it an original Toshiba battery from an authorized service provider?
Usually the new battery should be detected after first start I would recommend charging the battery while notebook is turned off. Then start notebook with battery only and check if its recognized properly.

Satellite L655 new battery will not charge

Satellite L655 new battery will not charge

Hello halik
It is not easy to say what is wrong there.
Have you bought new and original Toshiba battery with the same part number (model number).
Is new battery recognized by the system?

My early 2011 MacBook Pro says battery not detected and does not work with a new battery either. Works only with the charger plugged in.

About a year back i had replaced the MLB of my early 2011 macbook pro and it was all working fine. A month back my battery went dead saying "Battery Not Detected". I went to Ample technologies, Bangalore, India and gave it for diagnosis. Ample technologies are the authorized Apple support service in Bangalore, India. After 3 days and no phone calls they email me that "They feel that the MLB MIGHT be the problem and they want to test it by replacing the MLB and i have to pay for their testing". I had already spent 40k indian rupees ($700) less than a year back to replace an MLB and now they want to replace it again at the cost of 43k ($750) indian rupees. I have no idea what to do now. Spending 80k indian rupees ($1400) in less than a year to replace the MLB twice sounds unfair to me. Can someone help me out here ? Is there a valid warranty period applicable , since i have changed the MLB a year back ?

short of doing a SMC reset, you maybe at their mercy.

Lenovo G710 Battery not detected in Windows 8.1 64 bit

Hi there,
I have the Lenovo G710. I haven't used the battery for a while now and I use the laptop by connecting the powerlead directly to mains power outlet. I decided today to plug the battery in. The battery indicator lights up.
Windows 8.1 does not detect the battery and it states "No Battery Detected".
What i have tried:
I have installed all the latest Windows Updates and it still doesnt detect the battery.
I even installed the latest chipset drivers for this laptop and it still doesnt detect it. The only update i cannot install is the BIOS update because it states that "Battery Not Detected".
I uninstalled the following from Device Manager: Microsoft ACPI compliant Control Method Battery. Switched off the laptopRemoved the battery packRemoved the AC power lead from the laptopHeld the power button for 30 seconds to drain the batteryReconnect the battery packReconnect the AC power leadTurn the laptop on.Battery not detected.
Can anyone assist what i could do next please?

bump!

WRT 110 - New Router not detected

I am having problems with the setup wizard. Im getting "New router not detected". It's all setup correctly. I've reset modem, router and rebooted 100 times atleast. I can get on the internet when the modem is conected through the router. Also, I cant get to the 192.168.1.1 router setup. I have set up other linksys routers without problems. We are on Time Warner cable internet. Please help before I smash this thing.

I have an older Linksys (twin antenas) product so bought this for my son in Ohio. He tried to connect the router using his laptop and could not do it...after calling support (Punjab in India) they could not resolve the problem or begin to figure it out. After watching a 6 year old on YouTube hook up a router, I figured it couldn't be that hard so I told him to send the WRT 110 to me along with his laptop.
After trying the install myself (using the supplied CD), I could not connect to the internet via the wired laptop-router-modem either. So I figured the wireless device of the laptop may be interfering with the router. So I went to Control Panel>>Network Connections>> and right clicked on "Wireless Connection" and clicked "DISABLE". After that, the laptop DID connect to the internet via the ethernet cable.
When I tried to login to the new wireless network using another laptop, I could not connect after repeated attempts using the letter "O" and the number "0" of the WEP code generated by the CD install. I finally COPIED and PASTED the WEP code to a Word document, saved to a stick, then transfered the doc to the wireless laptop. After COPY and PASTE of the WEP code to the LOGIN >>>SUCCESS.
The wireless connection works fine two floors away from the router as does my old antenna router did, so the "range" problem reported by others is a mystery to me. Don't know why the "support" couldn't have solved this problem....I'm not a real computer nerd, but can do "trial and error" fixes.
Bottom line: router works fine and is better looking than the "antenna" ones but who cares??? I go for the blinking lights anyway <g>

Satellite A300D-13R: battery does not charge 100%

Satellite A300D-13R: The battery doesn't become full. Why?!
Message was edited by: Sy

Did you try to calibrate the battery?
Discharge the battery fully (note: disable standby and hibernation mode in order to prevent the notebook from going into these modes automatically).
Then charge it again reappear this several times in the row
If this does not help, test a new battery

Can't install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HDD

Hello,
My HDD has died, so i decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660-1D9 to an SSD.
I made a bootable USB with Win8, and booted just fine.
The problem is that it does not detect my SSD so i can proceed with the install.
SSD shows up in BIOS, but not in Windows install.
It says there's a driver missing.
I downloaded AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even then, after selecting the only driver that appears, it says no new devices found.
I tried changing SATA mode from AHCI to Compatibility mode and it's the same..
What can i do?
Thanks for the help.
Best regards,
Bruno Moreira

Older Windows XP required an AHCI driver from Intel but I think this isnt a missing SATA driver issue because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers in order to recognize the HDD or SSD drive.
Furthermore the OS installation should be possible even if the driver would not be added... for this procedure you have to use the "compatibility mode".
As you said, the compatibility mode did not work too, so I think there is another problem.
However, Toshiba driver page provides also an Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) driver (Windows 8 - Upgrade) which you could try to add while OS installation.
But Im wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
Did you try to format the SSD drive using another computer and then to install Win 8?
Try it out.

Qosmio G10-133 - Battery not detected following Windows 7 upgrade

Hello, I hope someone can help my frustrations here.
Over the last couple of weeks I have successfully upgraded my laptop to Windows 7, increased memory to 2gb, purchased new laptop power lead, brand new battery and and resolved every issue that Windows 7 threw at me. The laptop and works like a dream other than one issue that seems to have got worst.
The laptop no longer recognises the new battery.(picture of battery with cross through it and a power plug) For approximately a week after installing the battery it worked okay but now will not detect it all. I have no errors in the device manager and windows has recognised the ACPI battery entries etc and has no issues. I have also loaded the Toshiba value added package that Windows 7 found for me but still nothing. The battery does not even charge although sometimes the battery works for around 30 secs on boot up if the battery is removed and put back in, and then stops again (once Windows has loaded) I have tried numerous things like disabling driver, reinstalling battery etc but nothing. I did try the battery iniitally with Windows XP and worked fine.
I have also searched the web and have seen many other laptops with Windows 7 have had this problem, including Toshibas. Some say update the BIOS but Toshiba have not released an upgrade since the original one in 2004 (which is for WIn XP Media Center) and there are no settings in my BIOS for ACPI etc.
Also, I cannot calibrate the battery as I cannot do anything with it. I dont think this is an issue though.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it or any links to any drivers etc.
If this is sorted my laptop should last for another 5 years!
Thanks for reading this.
Dickie

Hi
First of all I doubt that many other notebooks with Windows 7 have this issue. I never heard about this and normally the battery charging will not be controlled from the OS. It happens automatically and your battery will be charged if the AC/DC is plugged in. So the OS doesnt affect this!
To be honest I also dont know why your battery isnt detected but what happens if you power off the notebook and leave the AC/DC adaptor connected for 24 hours? After this it should be possible to work on battery minute for 1 hour or more.
If not it seems to be a hardware issue Maybe the battery doesnt work properly anymore and should be replaced. You should contact the dealer where you purchased it
By the way: Here are some nice and interesting tips about battery:

New Battery not working

I have a Toshiba Satellite L755-S5244 with windows 7 reinstalled from the disk on it, I have had 3 batteries sent from laptopbatteryhq to me and when I plug them in, the computer does not want to turn on with or without the AC power adapter.
The new battery fits the terminals and is the correct voltage.
Is there any special driver or something I need to have to make this work?

Satellite L755-S5244 (PSK1WU-05L004)
There's more to it than voltage and fit.
The spec above calls for a PA3818U-1BRS 6-cell battery..
If you go to Toshiba's battery finder and plug in part number PSK1WU-05L004, you get the same result.
There's also a 12-cell battery.

Satellite L50T-A - Touchpad not detected

I have a Toshiba Satellite L50T-A running Windows 8 64-bit. All of a sudden my touch pad has disappeared from settings. When I do a search for new hardware it is not detected either. Is it un plugged?
I would appreciate pictures with exactly what I must do.
Thank you in advance.

Hello
If I understand you right touchpad is not detected and not listed in device manager, right?
Problem is that you cannot do much about that and force touchpad to work.
What you can try is to test functionality with factory settings. With other words, you can set BIOS to default settings and reinstall original recovery image. After doing this your notebook will have identical settings as on first day after first start.
If you do this and the result is the same it is possible that touchpad is defective or there is some problem with touchpad connection to the mainboard. This must be checked by Toshiba service.
Do you use external mouse at the moment?

S540 Battery not detected in Windows 10

HI All, Just upgraded to Windows 10, but I'm now finding out that the new Lenovo Companion or even the Lenovo Settings app will not detect the battery. I've installed the System Interface foundation etc. but to no avail. Battery is no longer charging to 50% , but to full and is no longer detected at all. Have any of you seen this happen too?

Good day and welcome to the community.
Please see the discussion in this thread:

Satellite L55-A5284 battery not charging

I have had this Toshiba Satellite L55-A5284 for about 11 months now. Everything was going fine and then less than 5 days ago I unplugged the AC adapter and the laptop just went off. Long story short went on Toshiba's troubleshooting section in Support and answered some questions and it told me that I needed a new AC Adapter. Received the adapter today and plugged it in still have the same problem battery not charging. I called Toshibal support and was told that my laptop has a built in battery and in order to change it without a fee being charged to me I would have to send my laptop to Toshiba and wait 7 to 10 days to get my laptop back. I do not like this solution since alot of my personal information is on my laptop and the length of time I will be without my laptop. Does anyone out there have any other suggestions for me to get the battery replaced free of charge?

If the Troubleshooting Assistant finds that you laptop needs a new battery, it can send you a battery as well. It'll work just like the swap with the AC adapter. Unfortunately, you'll have to change the battery yourself (or get someone to do it for you). I don't like commenting on the difficulty because it's so subjective. You'd have to take the bottom case off to reach it. It won't void your warranty, but if you damage anything else while attempting to change it, that could.
