Satellite P200-1IE: Battery runs down even though mains power connected

Hope someone can give me good advice here as I have an urgent decision to make regarding my 2-week old P200-1IE, running Vista Home Premium, purchased in Portugal where I live. I was told I have 15 days to return the machine to the shop if I am not satisfied, so I have to act quickly.
Background info: I have not yet downloaded SP1 or any drivers or bios updates from the Toshiba site. Only once has the machine been run on battery power (accidently when the power was switched off) - it ran down, beeped and once I realised and switched on the power, it charged normally. The machine has been working fine, then last night a strange problem occured.
Machine was left unattended and eventually shut itself down. When it was restarted the battery warning was beeping. My husband didn?´t realise what this was and shut the machine down again. When I came to look at it I noticed that although the power light was on there was no light for the battery, neither orange or blue, nothing.
I powered on and checked the battery life which was at about 20%, but although mains power was connected the energy taskbar icon showed that the battery was not charging, in fact it quickly discharged to minimal. I shutdown the machine and then the orange battery light came on for about 5 mins, then went out again. Playing around with this problem, trying to troubleshoot gave some strange and unpredictable results i.e.
- unplugged and re-connected the power cable at the machine end and then no lights came on, not even mains power light.
- switched off and on the power at the plug end and both mains and battery (orange) lights came on.
- the battery charging light went out after about 10 mins.
- unplugged and re-connected the power at the machine again and this time the mains and battery lights came on - again they went out after about 10 mins.
- powered on the computer. The power icon showed about 25% power. Powered down the machine again - no lights at all.
- uplugged and re-connected the power at the machine again and this time mains and battery charging lights came on and stayed on.
- after about 2 hrs the battery light showed charged (turned blue) and so I disconnected mains power and left it for this morning.
As I suspected, this morning the battery power showed 100%. Everything seems normal (except the battery light went out briefly on starting up the machine, which may well be normal and I've just never paid attention to it before). I disconnected power and let it run on the battery for about 10 mins ( it's plan is Equilibrado which I believe is Balanced). I then reconnected power and it charged back up to 100% as you would expect.
Sorry for the long description but even though all is well now, the strange problems yesterday have left me feeling there is a potentially serious problem within the machine. Has anyone come across anything like this before and what do you think I should do please?

OK - my husband may have got to the bottom of this one but I would very much appreciate an expert opinion.
Our electricity supply is solar energy entirely. When there is not much sun the batteries run down and the power output reduces. What we think is happening is that the supply of energy sometimes does not meet the needs of the computer. It then switches to run on the pc battery, until that of course too runs down and has to shutdown the machine. This would be consistent with the inability to switch it back on to recharge the battery. The battery has run down twice more since the original post (with mains power connected) and on both occasions it was late evening after a poor, cloudy day.
Once our solar system is back up to potential we can switch the pc back on and the battery recharges normally.
If fact, if we are right, this would indicate to me a healthy machine working as it should do. I imagine that switching to battery when the power is low is a safety device to prevent system damage.
Again, if we are right, would a UPS help prolong the time we could use the system on cloudy days?
One little niggle - if you do not notice the battery indicator going down (and we have not done so because it does not go red or flash), the first warning that this situation is about to happen is when it beeps to say it is going to shutdown the computer. I have looked at the battery profile because I would like a warning that the battery is, say, 50% so that I could do something sooner. I cannot see how I can do this. Is it possible?
Comments please.

    I have a new Ipad Air and have noticed everytime I open the screen the charge has reduced. over night it dropped from 58% to below 10 with a low battery warning.
    The screen was asleep, cellular switched off, Bluetooth on for the keyboard. all setting infact the same as my last model which performed excellently.
    Anyone know why its losing its charge so quickly. it also sems very slow to recharge also, in one hr its gained a 12% charge.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
    2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.8 or earlier.
    3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
              Enable Power Nap while on battery power
    if it's shown (it may not be.)
    4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
    5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
    6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

    Those are not normal unless you are using apps that use a lot of power (like games & GPS apps).
    Take it to an Apple store for a free consultation or take it back to where you purchased it. Make a backup in iTunes or iCloud before you go incase it needs to be exchanged.
    It should have warranty for a year or more depending on your country & if you purchased Applecare.
    I would also suggest you leave it powered off if it always gets hot & store it somewhere away from flammable materials – damaged batteries can be a fire risk.

  • Hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. Can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. How to fix this, please?

    I had hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now it is looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. I can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. I think a big part of the problem is that someon one the internet (the hacker) was mirroring my hard drive. It seems to have locked up my system. I could be wrong about this guess, though. All I do know is that it is now looping on the last 4 iems, and I can't do anything.
    Well, I can get it to turn on, but all it does is continously try to delete the last 4 items. When I try to reload Snow Leopard, it tells me my hard drive is full and that I need to delete items.
    Can anyone help? I am so lost without my Mac. I am back on the PC, and though it works, I'm sure many of you will understand when I say it's just not a Mac.
    Thanks.

    I installed Snow Leopard using my Apple external Superdrive. I followed directions I found on the Apple site. Here is the article info:  Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install  
                     Article HT3910
                     located at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3910
    Everything was going smoothly until I got to the reinstall part. I had to choose to reinstall on a hard drive or network drive. I've never used a network drive; just the hard drive. It seems that's where the troubles began. I selected the hard drive. It seemed to go well, and then I got the message that I needed to delete some files because I was out of space. I chose to get rid of my music files, but, there were only 636. I don't know what the rest of the files were. I was using the Secure Empty Trash command.
    That was my first time doing an erase and install. I tried to do it again, but I now get a continuous error telling me that my hard drive is full and I must delete files. Only I can't delete files because 4 files are still being deleted and my computer won't let me stop the process.
    I found out about the hackers mostly by the fact that whenever I used to watch something like Hulu or Netflix, I never had problems with internet connection or speed. Lately, I had internet connection problems. I went in to check my settings for my internet provider and found out the settings had been changed to public and all these extra computers were connected to my network.

  • Why is my battery running down on an iPhone 4 running iOS 7?

    Why is my battery running down on my iPhone 4 when I'm not using my phone and all apps are closed?  My phone will have a full charge at night, no apps running. Bluetooth is off, automatic updates are off, backgroud app refresh is off, and by morning the battery's charge has dropped to 50%.  Some nights it will only drop 1-2% though, with no changes made. How can I fix this?
    Also, since the update I am not receiving push notifications for some apps that I have them turned on for (turned on both in settings, and the app itself).
    Any helpful advice is greatly appreciated.

    I had been having battery problems with my Iphone 5 and decided to make a trip to the genuis bar, in the end they replaced my battery and reset my software because i had a failing battery and the hardware was malfunctioning. You may have something similar. I would recommend making a reservation to the genius bar online. They can then run a diagnostic on your iphone and get back detailed results on the current condition of your battery and wether or not the software controlling it is working. If you have applecare currently then they can replace the battery for free, if not there is a charge of around $70. If it turns out you have a different problem than they probably will be able to find out and give you better advice than I can!
    Good Luck!

  • Why is battery running down so quickly on IPad mini

    My battery runs down to 31%within 4 hours of use. I play a few games of candy crush, check mail and do a few Internet searches. iPad is less than 6 months old. Anyone with similar problems or suggestions?

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • Why is my ipad 4 battery running down so fast?

    I've had my 4th generation iPad for a couple of weeks now and have noticed the battery runs down so fast.  I've been to Apple twice and have done everything they've suggested and have tried everything I could come up with to no avail.  Granted....I upgraded from a first generation and realize that with the retina screen it would be less but come on...just from normal Internet searching it loses so much.  I'm afraid to see the loss with the movies and games I usually watch and play.  Any thoughts?

  • Memory content lost when the battery runs down

    My computer sometimes saves memory content when the battery runs down, as it is supposed to, so that when it restarts it is restored to the state it was in,  but at other times it does not.
    Is there a way to find out why this is and fix it?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Doesn't Apple recommend that you do exercise the battery by using its full capacity? They even recommend running it down from full until the computer saves the contents of memory to the special file, then leaving it 5 hours before charging fully again.
    I have never heard of the 20% threshold before.
    The odd behaviour in my case is that the computer sometimes does what is should: saves the memory then shuts down and when started restores that data, but at others does not save the data first, and starts up normally when I plug in the power and switch on.

  • HT4060 Should I let the battery run down before charging my iPad or iPhone to help the battery last longer?
