Satellite C50-A-1G7 - battery has stopped charging

My C50 has a battery issue. A few weeks old, it stopped charging. First it started charging (as seen on the windows power icon) slowly until 61% then zipped to 100%. But since then, the computer won't work on battery. The charging light does not come on(, but did so before). For all intends and purposes, it looks as there is no battery present, except that the software (windows and toshiba help stuff) insists there is a fully charged battery present.
Now, it probably is a faulty battery or connector, but to avoid going to the shop needlessly, I would like to verify if there is a bios update available. Since it is a relatively new, maybe not but the toshiba site is not the most clear. Anyway I couldn't find any bios update on the pages for Satellite C50-A-1G7.
Currently my bios is 1.20 with EC version 1.00
tnx

To be honest I don't think BIOS update can be solution for this. Anyway, you can check which BIOS version is offered on BIOS download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp
Im afraid you must contact nearest Toshiba service. They have special tools and can check hardware functionality.

  • Early MB-A Battery has stopped charging

    G'day All - I have an early MBA that has just stopped charging the battery.
    The adapter still powers the computer and shows the green LED, but it never goes amber now showing the battery being charged. I have changed adapters, reset the SMC and PRAM - all without change.
    If take out the adapter, the computer instantly dies. On restart after sudden death, with the adapter plugged in of course - only way to restart - the computer clock has lost all track of date/time. Interestingly, if I shutdown/restart with the adapter remaining connected throughout, it doesnt lose the date and time. Bizarre!
    CoconutBattery says the battery is in good shape but not charging. It shows 17% and that does not change - I thought it might slowly reduce with some kind of trickle discharge
    AHT doesn't run on this computer.
    Feels like a hardware failure to me - any ideas please?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the help....Here is my report

    Read through this thread and see if something there works for you.

     Does the laptop work with just the adapter ?
     What happens when you drain the battery to 12% and try charging it, or have you done that already ?

    I have an iphone that has stopped charging. I have purchased a new battery and charger for it but it is still not charging. Does anyone know how i can fix this?

    That pretty much eliminates all the user-serviceable parts the phone has.
    When you say you purchased a new battery, I'll assume that it included the installation and you did not go fiddling with the nanoscrews and such. So it's got to have some sort of warranty that the part is good and it is time to take it back for service.

    This is most often faulty Charger or Battery. Find another good working Wall Charger, or try Computer USB, but USB port is inferior to Wall Charger. While connected to Charger try a Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself. If still problem, Apple Store can perform free quick (minutes) battery diagnostic testing, make Genius reservation to avoid long wait.

  • Nano has stopped charging

    So my ipod nano 3rd gen has stopped charging on my jbl dock and also doesnt charge when it's hooked up to my deck in my jeep. have had the nano for around a year or so and now only charges on the macbook. It has been charging on both the dock and in the vehicle up until 2 days ago...
    Anyone else have this problem or now a way to fix it ??

    I really think there is a case of defective batteries in the iPods. I just won a brand new one last week. Right out of the brand new packaging the battery is defective and will not hold a charge. When I called Apple they said the iPod is over a year old and not under warranty. How silly is that! So, the company who purchased these iPods as giveaways to use in their marketing was totally shafted and so were the recipients. I was so excited to receive the new iPod in the drawing and now it turns out I've won nothing but a defective product that Apple will not stand behind. I can send off the iPod to Apple and pay to have the defective battery replaced. But I'm afraid that would not be the smart thing to do. How do I know how long the new battery would last?

  • N96 has stopped charging

    Hi,
    My N96 has stopped charging. The phone is out of battery but won't recharge, I've tried the cable with other phones and it works perfectly but not with the N96. Can anybody help fix this?

    I don't know much about batteries and everything i "know" about them is from this forum. The post above this one is correct, apparently the batteries in late Nokia models don't like being run down completely and I think it's best to just turn the phone off when it starts complaining too much. I read on one thread that you might even even have to try plugging the charger in and out of the phone a couple of times for it to charge

  • X201 Battery Suddenly Stopped Charging

    I'm a new user of the X201.  I was sold on the 'name' and 'reliability'  and 'quality' of the product, the X201, on the design and size and power.  So I paid the premium for this notebook, where I could have easily bought TWO Acers with similar power and storage etc.
    This was in June 2010..
    The battery suddenly stopped charging and status was 'amber' and software says battery is charging... it's not.
    battery condition is all green... good...
    what's happening? 
    Moderator note; post moved to here to start new thread, subject edited

    I am experiencing the same issue with my X201i. It is just weeks old and battery has been used for five cycles.
    Unfortunately it seem to not want to charge the battery anymore, and it stays as 0%. I have been in touch with Lenovo, and they are shipping a new battery that I will try. However, I tried to upgrade form bios 1.14 to latest, but this did also failed because of no charged battery which is required for a upgrade :-(
    Any more updates on this so I can try to get the battery charging again?

  • My ipad2 has stopped charging. Have replaced cable and adaptor without any help. Looks the internal dock connector has got damaged. What do i do? Its only 18 months old.

    My ipad 2 is 18 months old and has stopped charging. Have reolaced cable and adaptor without any help. Looks internal dock connector has got damaged.  What is the solution.

    It'll be an out of warranty replacement since accidental damage isnt' covered by the factory warranty.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/
    contact support and make an appointment at your local apple store. The out of warranty replacement fee for an iPad 2 starts at 249 and goes up. So another option for you may be if your money is better invested in a new  device that will have a longer life.

  • How do I fix my Iphone 5C that has stopped charging?

    My Iphone 5C has stopped charging. I got a new power chord and that did not help. I want it to work so I don't lose all of my pictures. suggestions?

    And with the new power cord it is not charging on the computer or the wall charger?
    Get  a flashlight and a magnifying glass and check the Lightning port on the iPhone. Clean any dirt/debris/lint, etc. that you find.

    the charger cable connected to the display screens has stopped charging my macbook. Can you replace these cables? It doesn't appear you can disconnect the cable, like you can the power supply to the display screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

    Mine did the same thing after 5 months, it is broken just go to the store and as long as you bought the phone within the last year they will replace it for free. They are well aware of the problem

    There's no FaceTime icon and no app since it's built-in.
    All you need is Wi-Fi and a connection to another iPod Touch 4 Gen, iPad 2, iPhone 4 & 4S and Mac
    Go to your contacts and find a friend that also has the Apple devices and Wi-Fi then tap faceTime. 

  • HT1267 My Iphone has stopped charging, what can i do?

    My Iphone has stopped charging, what can i do?

    Does it still work normally otherwise?
    Does it sync normally?
    Have you tried a different computer? Wall charger?
    Try:
    - Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod from backup
    - Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
