Satellite L750/04K Replacement battery not recognised

Hi all,
I have 2 Toshiba laptops, a C650D & L750/04k. Both laptops have exactly the same battery (PA3817U-1BRS. The L750 battery failed to hold charge so I changed the C650 battery into the L750 & worked fine.
Obtained a replacement battery (PA3634U-1BAS) & charged in the C650- worked great !
But will not work in the L750!
Won't charge & PC will not turn on (indicator light is flashing amber-low battery condition).
Seems the replacement battery is not recognized. Is this a compatibility problem?
If so, what is the correct battery for L750/04K?
Any suggestions appreciated
Regards, Mooky

Hi
I found info on European page for L750 about compatible batteries and follow batteries are compatible with this notebook model:
PA3757U-1BRS
PA3787U-1BRS
PA3817U-1BRS
PA3818U-1BRS
PA3820U-1BRS
I presume the same batteries can be used on your Australian model.

Satellite L750/04K Keyboard not registering every keystroke

I have just purchased a L750/04K laptop but the keyboard does not seem to be registering every keystroke.
Often you have to press the space a couple of times, or other keys as well.
It doesn't matter how fast or slow I type it happens randomly.
Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
I am using windows 7 in 64bit mode.

Hi buddy,
Have you noticed the same behavior with external keyboard? Probably only the internal keyboard is malfunctioning and so not all keys will be recognized.
Also check the current BIOS version and have a look on official Toshiba website for an update:
But if an external keyboard works properly the internal keyboard must be replaced. During valid warranty time it can be done for free from an authorized service provider.
Check this!!!

Satellite L300 & Windows Vista are not recognising Ipod

hi, i'm hoping you can help!!! I have been directed here by Microsoft & Apple - below is my issue and also Microsofts response:
i have an ipod nano 3rd gen, working off a near new laptop with windows vista. itunes is all set up, no issues with ipod at all but when i plug the ipod in, it only charges the ipod.
computer does not recognise the ipod at all, in windows or itunes. there is no portable device driver in the Device Manager or anywhere at all.
it is not the usb port as other usb's have been recognised. i've tried in all other usb ports as well. bottom line is that windows vista (and itunes) is not recognising the ipod at all.
i've been in touch with apple, with no avail. i've googled solutions only to find hundreds of other posts with exactly the same problem but no helpful solution. windows vista has no portable device port - how does one get this on their pc???
i've been at this for 4 days now and have uninstalled/reinstalled way too many times and i'm at wits end!! any advice (other than "have you tried another usb port" or "have you reset the ipod" or anything similar) would be much appreciated.
once again, there is no portable/ipod device drive located on this computer. please, i'm really hoping someone can help =)

Hi,
Step 1:Turn USB bus power back
If laptop is configured to conserve power by turning off power on the USB (Universal Serial Bus), it might not recognize a connected iPod.
To turn USB bus power back, you may follow the steps mentioned in the Apple link below
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1401
You stated Windows vista has no portable device port Normally, all portable devices are connected via a USB port and they appear under Universal Serial Bus controllers in the Device Manager.
Step 2:Reinstall USB controllers.
First, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:
1. Click "Start", type in Device Manager the Search bar and press "Enter". Click Continue if necessary.
2. In Device Manager, double click to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers", right click on the "Host Controller", click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
3. Repeat the step 2 to uninstall all items under "Universal Serial Bus controllers".
Then, restart your computer and windows will reinstall all USB controllers automatically.
If the issue still persists,
*Step 3:Download and install the latest chipset drivers from the laptop manufacturers website.*
*So here I am with the issue still not resolved. *How do i Download and install the latest chipset drivers in order to have Toshiba Satellite L300 & Microsoft Vista recognise my ipod??*
Many thanks in advance!

Install an hardware diagnostic tool like Everest home Edit or similar.
This tool would provide all hardware details about your notebook.
It would list all devices and chipset name too.
I think its Intel chipset so you could find the driver on the Intel page

Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E is not recognising USB Sennheiser Headset

Any one can let me know why my toshiba Satellite Pro A200 - PSAE7E is not auto recognising USB Sennheiser headphones?

What do you mean with auto recognising them? As far as I know the Sennheiser ones with USB connection have a built in soundcard and therefore you would need to install the drivers.
Had Sennheisers too, but with normal stereo jack and not the USB ones. Maybe you could post the specific name of your model.
And to check if your system find your headphones anyway, go to control panel - system - device manager and watch if something changes, when you plug in your headphones.

Replacement battery not working properly

Hello,
I have a G72 Notebook and I just recently bought a replacement battery that is not working properly.
I think that the laptop is just not able to communicate with the battery to find out how much power it has left.
I'm pretty sure that the battery is taking charge just fine (although the icon says, "plugged in, not charging" because I used it for a couple hours today and it never changed from "41%".
Right now it says "0%" but continues to power my computer if I unplug it.
I've tried cleaning the connectors and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the battery driver.
My old battery still charges just fine and works perfectly it just doesn't last more than an hour or so.
I ordered the replacement battery that it listed on my old battery, but it seems to not snap in quite right.
It fits in my computer, it just isn't as smooth to snap in as my old one is. As far as I can tell it's exactly the same except I think some of the little plastic parts have slightly different sizes.
Thanks for any help!

Satellite P30-145: drive will not recognise dual layer DVDs

I have a Satellite P30-145 with a DVD SupermultiDL drive. When I first got the PC I could write dual layer DVDs without any problems. Now the drive will not recognise dual layer DVDs at all. Even ones from the same box that worked fine previously. I'm using Verbatim Double Layer DVD+R 2.4x discs.
After much searching on the internet I downloaded and ran DVDInfoPro. This application reported that the drive did not support DVD+RW DL. Very strange!!
Can anyone help? The drive is a Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-831S.

Hi Lan
This drive is definitely DL one but I can just imagine that drive is defective and can not calibrate lens in the right position. This notebook model is more that two years old and if you have used this drive intensively I can really imagine that DL function is defective.
What you can do is to clean the lens and see it this will help.

Replacement iBook G3 battery not recognised - non Apple brand

Hi World
Try this conundrum for size...
I bought 'new' (non-Apple) battery on Ebay and my iBook does not appear to recognise it. i.e amber charge light does not illuminate - it stays green. I've done a PMU reset, Battery Rest 2.0, Restarted the iBook etc etc - nothing seems to work. The only reason I want a new battery is to avoid resetting the date every time I restart the iBook - I never travel with it and it's always powered from the mains electricity.
For information - the original (dead) Apple battery happily illuminates amber - but obviously can not store a charge.
I have also received a replacement for the intial new battery and it is still showing the same response i.e. no amber glow
Is there a printed circuit in these batteries that is needed to say 'hello' in an exact way and therefore allow charging to occur? If so, if I were to extract the new cells from my new battery and somehow wire them into the old Apple case, would that work? (I have read about spot soldering and it sounds a bit daunting)
Any answers gratefully appreciated
Any answers

FIRST: You wrote "Is there a printed circuit in these batteries that is needed to say 'hello' in an exact way and therefore allow charging to occur? If so, if I were to extract the new cells from my new battery and somehow wire them into the old Apple case, would that work? (I have read about spot soldering and it sounds a bit daunting)"
I think these batteries do contain some electronic circuitry, but I don't know whether that's the source of your problem (read on). In any case, with many years of technical work under my belt, I would be reluctant to attempt the cell transfer you suggest -- batteries have a way of being more dangerous than people think, as there's a fair amount of energy stored there.
But, on to your problem. You might nott want to say, but I'd be interested in the source of these batteries, as I'm in the middle of a "new" battery experience that has some similarities:
For reasons I won't go into, I have four iBooks in my possession -- and all had batteries in various states of decrepitude (some wouldn't take a charge at all, some would take different amounts of charge at different times, all were essentially useless). BUT ALL WERE RECOGNIZED BY THE COMPUTER.
So I purchased, on-line, two new batteries and they were delivered quickly. BOTH of them worked immediately and perfectly in TWO of the four computers, but went totally unrecognized in the other two computers. After considering the possibilities, I concluded that the problem might well be a very small misalignment of the connectors in the computers that didn't work with the connectors on the new batteries. (I'm talking about the plastic-shrouded 6-pin connectors, one in the computer and one on the battery, that engage when you install the battery). There is precedence for this kind of issue, as I have seen reports on the web of people resorting to cardboard shims to improve the engagement of the connectors. But, in my case, there simply is not room for any such shims, and nudging the battery one way or the other (a tiny distance) didn't make them work.
I had unrelated internal work to do on one of the two computers that didn't recognize the batteries.
While I had it apart, I replaced the battery charger board, which incorporates one of the mating connectors. (+I didn't suspect the electronics of that board, rather the physical positioning of the board as secured in the computer case, or of the connector on the board+.) The result was that this computer now worked with one of the new batteries but continued not recognizing the other new battery.
What this comes down to, I think, is a physical tolerance issue -- probably with the lateral positioning of the connectors, either in the computer, or on the battery, or a combination of both. It could also have to do with the connector condition. The connector in the computer is obviously (usually) as old as the computer itself; the connector on the battery is . . . who knows? Although the battery is said to be new, the battery manufacturers may somehow make use of old battery cases (and connectors). Most if not all connectors rely on some spring tension in the contacts to keep the contacts mated, and the contacts can also be affected by corrosion -- and deterioration of older connectors is simply a real possibility.
Would be really interested in what approach you take and the results. Please post back.
There seem to be a lot of sources for these batteries on-line, but it's possible they all come from a small number of outfits (or even just one outfit) that builds (or rebuilds) them. If, ultimately, all the battery cases (with the connector) come from just one source, then the problem might be likely to show up no matter what your source (or the name on the battery, etc.) If I'm correct on this, then it's going the be a gamble as to whether a battery purchased from another source will solve the problem.
But, what choice is there? I think your best bet might be to return that second battery and then buy another one from . . . ? (somebody different). Or maybe someone who follows this forum can name a recent supplier with which there has been no problem whatsoever.

New (Apple Original) battery not recognised on my MacBook

My laptop has not been charging at all, and shuts down immediately when charging cable is unplugged.
I have just bought a new battery, thinking that the 5-year old battery needed replacement.
However battery is still not charging, In fact, it seems that it is not even recognised, saying that no battery is installed!
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Dave. I've tried SMC (I think I did it properly) and it doesn't work ... Battery still not charging, and appears as 'not installed'. There's also a little X on the battery icon in the top bar.

IPod Touch 3G replacement battery not living up to what was promised

I have had my iPod touch for almost 4 years. The battery started to run down (loose charge more quickly or just not charge up all the way) about 3 to 6 months ago. I took it in to the Apple shop and they gave me a replacement iPod touch 3G after I paid the battery replacement fee. This gave me a 90 warranty on the fix.
I took the new iPod touch home and charged it up and set it up as a new iPod Touch. No restore. After doing this, I used it for about 30 minutes reading a book. Then it gave me a "20% battery remaining" message. After 30 minutes. So I killed the book software and loaded the battery monitoring software. It showed that, sure enough, I only had 20% battery remaining. But, as I watched, it jumped up to 25%. And then up again to 35%. So I went to plug it into the computer to charge. When I did, it jumped up to 80% charged as soon as I plugged it in. I unlocked it and, on the batter monitoring app, it stated I had an 85% charge. So I charged it back to full then unplugged it again. This time I restarted it, hoping this was just some boot error. It did the same thing repeatedly over the next few days. It would give me a "battery 20% charge" warning, then jumping up to between 35% and 70% as I watched. Then back down to 20% again like some drunk metronome.
I took it back to the apple store and told them my problem. Realizing that this is an old iPod Touch model and future replacements would be similar if not worse, I offered to pay the rest of the money needed to just purchase an iPod Touch 4G. As in, take the original amount paid for the repair, as I had not gotten a battery replacement that worked, and add to that to make up the difference to purchase the newer one with a good, working battery.
This was refused. Instead I was given another iPod Touch 3G to take home. And, again, this one is doing the same thing as the first replacement I received. If I had not been there to see that there were, in fact, two different iPod Touches involved, I would have thought that it was the same one. This newest one has the same drunk metronome battery as the last "new" one.
I have been an Apple customer for many years now and the offer is still open to just pay the rest of the difference to upgrade to an iPod Touch 4. Because I don't want to and cannot play iPod Touch roulette via mail returns for the next month until I finally get one that has a working battery. That and the fact that it costs money for me to get to the nearest Apple store every time I go. So going any more would eat up any money saved on getting that original battery replacement back. But Apple would keep that money and it wouldn't have done what they said they would do. Which is, replace the battery with a working one.

It would have been difficult to take up the problem with the manager of the Apple store as I live in Japan and the manager is Japanese and doesn't speak English.
I did go through many discharge cycles, yes.
That may true and the percentage indicators used in battery information apps may not be reporting the correct percentage. However, when the iPod Touch itself is giving me the 20% battery life remaining warning and then going back up to almost 50% then back down to 20% and displaying a warning 4 times in 10 minutes for two separate iPod Touches, I don't think it is the percentage indicator's that could be wrong on two consecutive iPod Touches. Especially given that the original iPod touch I had, even with the failing battery it had inside of it, did not bounce around that much... Or at all.

Battery not recognised after ram upgrade - Help!

I just attempted a Ram memory upgrade that worked fine, but my battery stopped being recognised.
The battery was fine before, even so - I bought a new one (I tested in a different computer - it worked there) - still doesn`t work.
I decided to put back the old RAM - still no working Battery.
Reseted the SMC and the NVRAM 500 times and nothing changes.
Already have the latest Firmware (Efi and SMC) for quite a long time, can`t reinstall it or downgrade it (due to apple.). Apparently CD firmware restauration not available to my model ( original installation cd don`t work beacuse it is a previous version of firmware?)
What else can I do?
Is there any way to force a firmware installation ?

IPod replacement battery not working right

I think I know the answer to this, but I would like your guys' opinion
I have a 60 GB iPod classic that went completely dead the other day. Nothing would get anything to come up on the screen at all. I figured it was a dead battery. I ordered a replacement and got it installed with little hassle. I plugged it into the wall outlet brick and let it charge overnight. It looked like it was charging, and when it was plugged into the wall, I was able to browse through the songs, etc. Joy ensued.
When I disconnected it from the wall outlet, the screen went completely black again. I tried plugging it into my computer, and I get the dead battery icon followed by a message saying "Please wait. Very Low Battery" and the spinning wheel below that. It also does not show up on my desktop or ini iTunes. If I plug it into my ipod adapter in my car (where it usually resides) It will play.
So it seems it is taking power again, which is a step up from before, but it is not charging. I'm getting the feeling that the battery I got was a dud. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

"Incidentally, you have a 5th Generation iPod, not an iPod Classic."
Sorry - you are right. I completely missed seeing the listing for 5th Gen.
I have tried connecting it to my computer. Do you mean restore it as in through iTunes? If so, it does not show up in iTunes or on my desktop. I have tried to reset it to no avail.

New replacement phone not recognising simcard

after getting a replacement phone under warranty from apple stores today, the apple genius tech set it up as a new phone so i could use it today, but said to me to erase all data when i got home and set it up as my previous phone so all my data would sync back. ... ive come home to sync it and after wiping the data, its saying that my simcard is not supported and wont let me go any further.... what can i do i have a non working phone which was working not long ago.... please help me!!!

hiya, yes ive tried that, it recognising theres a simcard there but i get a message up saying it isnt supported by the phone.... it says: 'only compatable simcards from a supported carrier may be usedto activate iphone. please insert the simcard that came with your iphone'
but it was working fine until i had to wipe it so i could set it up as my prexisting phone with apps

Replace battery not ipod

I want to have the battery replace in my iPod Touch 3G, but the only options I see are for iPod replacement. I want to be sure to get a new battery, and not a refurbished iPod with an old battery - as I have read in reviews of the service. Unfortunately, Apple will not tell me how to do this without a $19.00 fee to chat. Any information would be helpful.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. Y can purchase a eplacment battery for about $10

MacBook battery not recognised!

Hi all,
I know this is a common issue, but the battery on my MacBook 2,1 is definitely kaput.
It isn't recognised in OS X anymore, and the battery indicator on the bottom of the battery doesn't work either.
I heard that Apple did a replacement program for the batteries.
Is this the case? or am I going to have to shell out £90 for a new battery?
Thanks

You might try an SMC reset, however, what you've described does sound like a dead battery. SMC reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
There aren't any Apple MacBook battery repair programs listed, however, you could talk to your local dealer to see what they can do for you.
Is it possible that you bought the system with a credit card that extends the Apple warranty coverage?

Battery not recognised? Onyx may solve it

I recently bought a secondhand PowerBook, running 10.4.11, along with a replacement third-party battery.
However, the PowerBook wouldn't recognise the battery. As soon as I disconnected the power cable, it powered down.
I tried to reset the PMU, as a discussion on this boards suggested (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431) but that didn't help.
So, as a long-shot, I installed and ran the automated maintainence routines in Titanium's Software Onyx (http://www.titanium.free.fr/).
After the Powerbook restarted, it recognised the battery.
I don't know if this was a fluke, or whether Onyx has battery-fixing abilities, but it worked for me.

Iti probably straightened out some kind of software conflict by doing the routine clean up.
