Satellite C55-A doesn't work on battery power

HI
I HAVE AN TOSHIBA SATELLITE C55A (PSCG8E).
AFTER BATTERY FULLY CHARGED WHEN I UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTER THE COMPUTER SHUTDOWN.
I HAVE ALREADY CHANGED THE BATTERY AND NOW I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
ANY UPDATE OF THE BIOS FOR THIS PROBLEM ?

Hi
It looks like the battery shows you that its fully charged but indeed its not.
Its looks strange to me that the same issue appears using new battery.
However, since the Satellite C55-A series is new on the market and warranty is valid, I recommend contacting the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to check the battery and other notebook hardware.
I assume you will need another, new battery but this should be done free of charge

Satellite C55-A doesn't recognize the battery

Hi!
I have a Toshiba C55-A-1L4 and the problem is that my laptop doesn't seem to recognize the battery.
The battery is full and when I open the pc, before I put in the password, I can see that it's full and it shows it, BUT if I try to have it work only on battery it doesn't work, I can't start the laptop.
Also,I've noticed that the little lamp in front for the battery doesn't glow like the other 2 (one for wi-fi one for power) the one that doesn't work has a plug/battery drawn next to it.
So, to conclude, I have no idea why this is happening and if anyone knows how to fix it please share :)
Thanks

Hi
The DC IN / battery LED (indicator) should glow amber when the AC adaptor is connected and battery is being charged. In case the battery charge is low, the indicator will flash amber indicates that only few minutes of battery power remain.
If its not the case, there must be some problem either with the AC adaptor power supply or the battery.
In my opinion the new battery should be tested

Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter doesn't work on Battery Power

30-pin cable doesn't work in battery charing

I have bought an official cable and a unofficial cable and I am iphone 4 user. I can't charge my phone with both cable. This is iOS 7 and I restored so many times. Can you tell me how to fix the problem?

Ok, Is your computer on? If so try putting it in a different USB port. If that doesn't help, try cleaning this part. If that doesn't work, Your battery may be fried.

Peep sounds when working from battery power

Hello
I bought a new HP DV6-1340 laptop
I hear some strange peep sound from the notebook hardware when its working from battery power.
When working from outlet power there is no peep sound from the hardware.
Maybe its because the battery is new or something there wrong ?
Thanks in advance for help

I solved it my self. It was OK (no buzz and fuzz) when it was plugged in (when the electicity line was down once and I was running on the UPS battery).....

Take it back to the Apple Store for repair since it's still in warranty.

Hi,
Any one have this issue?
HP ProBook 5220m (Bios Version F50) Fan not working with battery power but work fine with adapter plugged in.
This issue was found in my replacement motherboard. the original mother do not have this issue.
The origianl mother to be replace is due to can't power on after a power failure recovery. I believe was due to power surge killed the motherboard's power controller circuitry.
Appreciate any one can provide clue for resolving the problem.
I have tried to install speedfan to try my luck, but it can't any fan in the application to configure. (Bios Version F50)

Satellite Pro L20 doesn't work properly with USB Fast Track audio i.f.

Hello!
I have used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had problems with it. I could set low latency and I did few songs with it.
Yesterday I bought another notebook, thinking of home recording studio. It's used Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It doesn't work properly with my interface. When I listen music on Winamp or do anything on Fruity Loops I hear loud clicks, pops, noises. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback or after a sample is stopped.
I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba anymore?! The only drivers for chipset are very old and you can download em only from Toshiba website. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200M. Its drivers are with graphic card. Recently I noticed you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK IT to make it possible to install on mobile unit such as L20. Yep its funny but its impossible to do otherwise!
things I have tried and they still not help:
# drivers replacement, original were released in 2004. I installed recent version.
# driver settings, low latency, high latency
# asio and different settings
# pluging the interface to another usb socket.
# trying what happens when I use battery and when I use adapter
# updated bios
# turned off onboard units such as wifi card, sound card
# checked IRQ list
pops still appear.
my config:
Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
Win XP Home SP3
Celeron M 1,5GHz
896Mb ram
M-Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2
Kind regards

Thanks for answer. I still have L40 but I try to run my homerecording on L20. The L40 is now used by whole my family. It's possible to swap them but there's a problem - L20 has Norway keyboard and I'm the only person at home who doesn't often look down while typing. In Poland, we use standard ms keyboard. I'd buy special stickers, it's about only to make special chars get back to their places.
I installed Windows on this computer end set it to best performance possible.
Since I created this thread, guys from M-Audio support tried to solve my problem - nothing helped. I think potential solutions are exhausted.

Webcam on Satellite A300-1MX doesn't work properly

After my windows Vista system crashed on Dec 16 2011, I had the recovery done.
After that, I didn't find any webcam driver on the whole laptop. On the support page of Toshiba I finally found version 1.7, but that doesn't work at all!
It always shows up: Webcam driver open fail, please restart camera or computer. As it is a built in camera I tried it with the restart of the computer, but that didn't help at all. So I tried it with the option to repair the driver with Install Shield Wizard. The program has done something, but without any success.
So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it didn't help at all!
Has somebody an idea?

Hi
Found a Toshiba knowledge base article which describes this error and provides a solution to this issue.
+Why does the error message display: "Webcam driver open fail. Restart camera or computer."?+
+http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT84026F0000R01.htm+
But its related to Portege M600, and Satellite U300 only.
However, you should also try to perform a BIOS update. After that set the BIOS to default settings and save the changes. Then try to reinstall the webcam software once again.
You should also check the device manager. Here in device manager the webcam should be recognized as a USB device if this is not the case then this means that the webcam has not been recognized by OS and this means that there could be an hardware issue
As far as I know the webcam is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard. If the cable connection is lose, then the webcam would not be recognized in device manager; neither as USB device nor an unknown device.

Keeping Satellite C55-B901 plugged in even when battery is 100%

Hi,
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite c55-b901, and i was wondering whether it is fine to keep the laptop plugged in even after the battery is fully charged or not. Would that affect the battery's life or is it okay.
I also have a cooling pad that keeps the laptop cool.
Would you recommend i keep it plugged in, keep using it when it is 100% and only recharge when 10% and stop when 100%, or use it both ways as i like?
Thanks in advance!

Do you know the software called Battery Manager?
As far as I know its part of the Toshiba power saver and it should be preinstalled on the Toshiba notebooks. This tools helps you to handle the battery properly and to increase the battery life time.
Nevertheless, the battery should be calibrated from time to time to keep a good battery performance as well as to increase the battery life time.
To calibrate the battery, you should run the notebook at battery power until the battery would be fully empty. Then connect the AC adaptor and charge it until the battery indicator would switch to green (or blue depending on the notebook model).

Ralink rt61 doesn't work on battery with 2.6.36.2

Hi folks.
I recently reinstalled Arch on a Packard Bell MZ36 which has a Ralink rt61 wireless card. I'm using latest stock kernel from [core]. When I disconnect AC power and go to battery, I got a kernel message, and wifi doesn't work anymore. If I connect again AC power, it doesn't work. If I boot in battery, it doesn't work neither. Before reinstalling Arch, this machine had 2.6.35 on it, and it worked just fine. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Front camera doesn't work! Battery dies super fast!

Hello! I received my ipod touch 5th generation as a bday gift in November 2012 and I'm having a couple of issues with it. First the battery dies really fast. I have wifi on all the time and I dunno if this is the issue, but using music playback for about 4-5 hrs/day and reading/instagram/fb/WWF for like 1-2 hrs, it lasts about 15 - 20 hrs. I think there has to be a problem because my touch 3rd gen lasted longer basically doing the same thing. And if I play a video for <1hr, the battery lasts less than 12 hrs. That's one thing. Also, a couple of times both the front and back camera have frozen up, and for about a week now, the front camera doesn't work. When I switch to it, it closes up as if it's taking a picture, but it never opens up again, it just stays there. This is for video and camera. The front one just doesnt work. PLEASE HELP! I'm obssesed with this thing and I'm really disappointed by these features. I dunno what to do. And the worst is that after I try to switch to the front camera, I can't switch back. I have to restart the ipod to be able to use the back camera, because it just doesn't do anything.

For the camera problem
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
The battery life you are getting is normal and expected. If you have a concern after doing the above make an appointment at the Genius Bar.

Satellite L500d PSLT0A: wont work on battery power

Hi
I have Satellite L500d PSLT0A, with error 22% available (plugged in not charging).
Laptop wont work on battery alone
When ac adaptor unplugged laptop shuts down
Battery light is not on even when ac adaptor plugged in
Battery light comes on for a few seconds if you pull out ac adaptor plug and put it back in
_I have done the following_
1. Removed battery and AC plug and held power button for 20-30 sec and then replaced battery and ac adaptor
2. Uninstalled ACPI and re-installed it
3. Removed battery whilst still powered up and replaced after 3 min
4. System restore to out of box state
I have done the above several times, none of which work...any suggestions? BIOS update???
Cheers

Hi buddy,
For your notebook model there is a BIOS update available and can be downloaded. I found it on Australian website where your notebook model is listed:
http://www.mytoshiba.com.au > Support > Downloads
Computers > Satellite > L500D > PSLT0A-xxxxxx> (your OS)
Before you update the BIOS:
-Close all running programs
-Make sure you are logged in as Administrator
-Unzip all files
-Battery should be fully charged and AC/DC adapter must be connected
