Satellite P855-10G runs out of battery even when turned off

Hi everyone,
I have bought the Toshiba Satellite P855-10G, but im terrified because he runs out of battery even when turned off..
Anyone knows how can i solve the issue?
Best regards,
Igor Tarelho

Hi
Access the BIOS and turn OFF the options like: Waking up on LAN and Keyboard.
In Toshiba HW Setup I recommend disabling the USB Sleep and Charge function as well
Both enabled options might allow discharging the battery even if the unit is OFF

  • Is the iPad air meant to run out of battery even when it is charging?

    Is the iPad air meant to run out of battery even when it is charging?

    Depends on the charger. The 12 watt charger that came with the iPad should be able to charge faster than the iPad drains the battery when in use. But other chargers may not provide enough power to efficiently charge the iPad. The best way to charge any iPad is to use the charger that came with the iPad.

    Do you place the ipod in the dock during the night? I did this once and the other day the battery was almost empty because it kept on playing after it rested in the dock.

  • IPhone battery discharges even when turned off since iOS 5.1.1

    Since updating to iOS 5.1.1 I have had battery problems, discharging at around 4% per hour even when not used. Turning off every concieveable service and reloaded iOS as a new device unfortunately has not solved the problem. I have resorted to leaving the phone plugged in all of the time and recently started to turn it off overnight. To my surprise, the phone continues to discharge when turned off! I couldn't find this problem when I searched (apologies if I didn't search hard enougth!)

    I have been waiting for months for the next iOS to see if it would rectify my battery drain problem but I continued to have the battery discharge problem after installing iOS6 .
    My Home button has been playing up with random no responses and random double clicks, so I replaced the home button hoping that may also address the battery drain issue - no joy.
    Then I had a look to see if I had added any Apps when the problem first appeared at the time of upgrading to iOS5.1.1. (You can view Apps by date in iTunes on the iPhone Apps tab.)
    It turns out that on about the same day as the iOS 5.1.1 update I also added the Lifesize ClearSea video conferencing App. Today I disabled the App in iTunes (unchecked it) and resynced the iPhone. I believe this removes the App from the phone whilst leaving it in my iTunes so I can add it back easily. For the first time in months my phone is now cold rather than luke warm.
    Superficially at least it seems that ClearSea has been running in the background, even when manually quitted and even when the iPhone was powered OFF! I will report back in a few days to confirm this was the culprit.
    Five months with a phone that barely lasts a day has been a real pain...

  • Mini fan runs even when turned off

    Yesterday the fan started running loudly (seemingly top speed) and it won't stop even when the computer is turned off (only way to kill it is to pull the power cord). The vents on the bottom have a bit of fuzz on them, but nothing outrageous. Other than working on the motherboard (which I'm not capable of doing), what can I try? I did reset PRAM...nothing changed.
    Thanks!

    Is the power/sleep light on or off when the Mini is "off" but the fan is running?
    If the light is "on" in some fashion, can you start the Mini by pressing the Menu button of your Apple Remote once?
    If you can't do this, I fear you have a logic board problem similar to the one first diagnosed by brisbanebazza:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9524465#9524465
    Unless you know someone who can do electronics soldering, generally the fix for this would be to replace the logic board, which is usually too expensive to be economical in my opinion.
    BTW, no harm in gently vacuuming the fuzz out of the vents, with the Mini closed up, not open.
    After you vacuum, you might also try something wacky: try running the mini upside down for a short period of time.

  • Portege R200 - Battery discharges when turned off

    Hi purchased a Toshiba R200 in Australia about 2-3 months ago with the standard battery and the extended battery. My problem is that even when I turn the machine off the battery continues to discharge (i.e. it is not hibernating nor is it suspended). For example I left the computer off power for 4 days and did not touch it. When I came back and used it the main battery had dropped to 60% and the extended battery had also dropped to around 60% (both were full when I left). It looses about 10% per day. I've never experienced this before in the 5 dell/toshiba notebooks I've had before.
    It can't be my usage of the batteries because I rarely use the machine away from its power adapter. At most the batteries have experienced maybe 10 full charge/discharge cycles since I've had it. Also if I do run on battery power I will get around 7-8 hours of battery with the main and extended battery (which is normal) so it doesn't seem like 'memory effect' from the battery.
    I'm trying to disconnect the batteries from the computer for a few days to check if it is the battery or the computer, however I just wanted to find out if anyone has any ideas or experiences with this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Believe me it is normal. At my notebook happened the same thing. Over night there is deficit of 3 5% of battery capacity. Dont worry about it. Only what you can do is to do something about maximizing battery life.
    For Nickel Metal Hydride batteries (NiMH) the battery will better hold a charge if allowed to discharge at least once a week. The chemical reactions that correspond to charge and discharge in a rechargeable battery should occur to obtain the maximum number of charge/discharge cycles in the battery.
    It is not necessary to remove the battery from the computer during the week when it is on AC power.
    Google a little bit around. You can find a lot of useful information about notebook-battery.
    On this forum you can find similar discussions and many users have reported about this known issue. I just hope that you have charged the battery on the right way like described in users manuals.
    Bye

  • Ipod Dies overnight EVEN WHEN TURNED OFF

    Background info:
    The Ipod after fully charging can last around 8-9 hours of USE (straight music playing) so the battery seems to me like it is fine as it holds a nice long charge of use.
    BUT when I turn it off fully charged as I go to sleep, it will be dead in the morning. Its like it uses the same amount of battery whether its playing music or turned off. Now I know its supposed to be using some battery because the pod is not fully 'off' but clearly it should not be dying at the same rate it is playing.
    I have done the 5 Rs to no avail. I thought I had found the problem from an alarm I had set because on a different forum people said that can drain battery along with calender alarms. Made sure I had none of these turned on even tried the 5 Rs again and after all of this still no go.
    Is the only explanation that my battery is dead? Then why does it hold such a long charge? And I would hate to buy a battery replacement only to find out that it is something else. It ***** because my warranty is long expired and I cant even post at the apple forums (unless I am just dumb and cant find the 'New Thread' button.
    But does anyone have any solutions? It is REALLY bugging me.

    Do you place the ipod in the dock during the night? I did this once and the other day the battery was almost empty because it kept on playing after it rested in the dock.

  • Windows 8 Requires a Password on Wakeup even when turned off

    I have turned off "Require password after wakeup" everywhere I could find.
    I've disabled it in regular power settings (clickable link on the left) and for the current power scheme I'm using.
    Still whenever I open the lid on my laptop and my computer wakes up, it keeps asking me for a password.
    Is this a known bug?
    I thought it might be because I was using a Windows Live account, but it still occurs with my local account.
    Windows + Q doesn't open Power Options for me, it goes to the app screen.
    I have no "Troubleshooting" options available to me.
    Mind you that I'm running the RTM version because our company is a Microsoft partner and this version has been made available to us, so the options you mention may be missing or in other places.
    Okay, let's continue with what I've tried. I've disabled the "Require password on wakeup" setting in Group Policies, but the problem persists. When I go to the regular power options it shows "some settings can't be changed due to restrictions
    on the computer" so I know the GPOs are working.
    The comboboxes for battery and plugged in both show NO for the "require password" option. I've also used the User Account troubleshooting tool from the Release Preview and it shows no problems with my account.
    So it seems to me there has been an unfortunate change in the RTM if this problem doesn't occur in the Release Preview.
    Maybe it's time to submit a bug, but I don't know how, I would just like this to be fixed.

    Hi,
    I tested on my computer that is running Windows 8, but I havenot encountered the same issue.  Could you please test the following thing.
    1. Disable Require Password after wake up in Power Options.
    2. Manually make the computer into Sleep Mode by the Power options in Charm bar rahter than close the lid.
    3. Wake up the computer and check whether the issue persists.

  • Ken Burns effect remains even when turned off

    I'm having huge problems viewing slideshows with iPhoto 5. I cannot get the Ken Burns effect off, even when it is not selected, and when I select a small number of photos to show, and click view slideshow, the music starts, but only the first photo appears. Has anyone else seen these problems? I've tried replacing the iPhoto preferences, but that did not help. Thanks.

    Thank you for responding. I guess I did not pay strict attention to turning off the Ken Burns effict in both places. One other thing that made it peculiar was that the first slide would display and then it would wait for several seconds before showing the next slide even though I had set it to display each slide for only 2 seconds. I'm wondering why that was? Could Spotlight have been indexing the drive and slowing things down? It seems OK now. Also, strangely still, when I click on the red X to close the window of iPhoto, then entire application quits. The whole thing is acting quirky. Comments most welcome. Thanks again.

  • Bug that allows match to use cellular data even when turned off in settings?

    Earlier today, I mysteriously incurred overage charges on my phone bill because 200MB of data was used while I was on my bicycle. My phone was in my bag. Before I left, I had tried to download an album to my phone from iTunes match cloud storage. It would not download, so I left. Cellular data was turned off in iTunes match settings. Has anyone encountered Match overriding that setting? All cellular data settings for the app store were off and I was not running any GPS function.

    I have the exact same problem!
    I'm using the iPhone 5 now under Carrier M1 Singapore 13.0 and I have noted that over a period of 2 weeks, my cellular data usage has been about 2.7GB on an average. Since I know my bill has been capped at 3GB, I have since switched off my cellular data.
    However, when I switched it on for a few days after using it for awhile, my cellular usage jumped by 1.2GB in just 1 day! And I used it as I would on an average day (like during an average day in the 2 weeks)!
    I understand that there have been reports of a bug that have caused this problem in the US.

    http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/10/iphone-5-cellular-data-usage-over-wifi-bug-on -other-carriers.html
    But I'm hoping that there's a solution for those living in Singapore? Do I seek the help from my carrier as well? But if it's a problem with the phone, then my carrier definitely would not help, right?

  • My ibook loses battery power when turned off and unplugged

    I have been puzzled by this since November 2006. I calibrated my battery twice as prescribed and still, as soon as i shut down my ibook and unplug it, it's battery charge goes down. Why is this? I'd greatly appreciate help. I'm a former pc user and none of my pc laptops have this problem. I just want to know why my battery loss power when unplugged and turned off. thanks in advance

    Well you might want to try what they call "battery reconditioning" which is 7 simple steps listed below:
    1: Charge your iPod fully.
    2: Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
    3: Then carge your iPod fully again.
    4: Then Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
    5: One more time charge your iPod fully.
    6: And then again Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
    7: Then one last time charge it fully again.
    Reminder: it is best to let the battery die all of the way each time inbetween chages. for example if it has 60% battery life dont charge it use it till it is dead and then charge it up all the way!
    *This should inturn maximise your battey life also!*

  • Mac Pro Power Supply making noise (even when turned off)

    Hi everyone,
    My Mac Pro Early 2008 (Dual quad core 2,8) began to make noise a while ago and it drives me mad.
    The sound is (100% sure) coming from the Power Supply. The sound is not mechanical, but electrical, like an oscillator crackle sort of.
    First I thought it was the PSU itself, so I had it replaced with a new one, but that did not change the situation.
    The (new) PSU makes excactly the same noise, even when my computer is turned off (but still connected to the power socket in the wall).
    I've eliminated all possible factors that could create an interference (other electrical devices).  I even completely switched off the power of my office, except for one power socket; the one I used to test the Mac.  As soon as I connected the Mac, as soon the noise came back. So, it's got to be inside the Mac.
    So my question is: if it's not the PSU, nor the power of my office, what could it be?
    PS: I've tried a UPS too... but that did not change a bit.
    Thanks for your suggestions!

  • Yoga Tablet 10 battery discharge when turned off

    I am now on to my second Yoga Tablet 10 in 15 days having returned the first one to the supplier for refund. The replacement I have purchased seams to have one of the problems I had before.
    When Powered off using the pop up  ' power off' tab the tablet appears to switch itself off however when the tablet was turned off the battery was 89% and when turned back on 6 hours later the battery was only 49%. When the tablet is turned off it is left in stand mode.
    On the first yoga tablet I had it did this twice and then would not charge or boot.
    Has anyone else experienced this as a problem ?

    Hiya all,
    Having exactly the same problem. Here is the sequence of events in my case:
    1. Got my first Yoga 10 beginning of March - returned to Argos after the weekend due to dead pixels on the display.(not relevant but worth mentioning ;-) )
    2. Got my second Yoga 10. Tablet manufactured end of Oct 2013. Downloaded the first update of software (approx. 150mb). No problem. Worked for a week.
    3. Then second update was available (approx. 15mb). Did that too. Tablet worked fine for a day - literally turned it on once and then turned it off.
    3. After that the thing went into Meta Mode itself when I want it to use it. Tried the power button and volume up. Got as far as the menu. Reboot didn’t work, actually nothing work. 
    4. So I flashed the Rom (using directions from this forum). Got it working back again but I am having now battery problem. It gets discharged when the tablet is off. Sounds familiar? ;-))
    What I have notice is when you trying to turn it on (should take approx. 4 secs for tablet to vibrate and start booting) takes more than 10 second to start booting. This is indicator that most likely your battery is discharging itself while the tablet is off.
    And another funny thing - last week my tablet actually behaved normally for a while. For day and the half it didn’t lose any % of battery while being switched off and took it only 4 second to start booting. So, I thought things got fixed magically LOL. Well, they didn’t. Back to square 1. Oh, if you keep tablet in standby, the battery is not discharging itself, but that is not a solution....right?
    What is most annoying is the fact that there seems to be a connection between the thing going into Meta mode after the update/s and the problem with the battery. Too many users are reporting this fact / facts and I am sure Lenovo knows about it but where is the solution?
    Now, I think it is time to return the thing and get the money (no guarantee or just hope that Lenovo is working on the solution.
    Very disappointed customer. Lenovo get your act together ASAP.

  • Battery discharges when turned off

    Hello!
    Ever since I have updated my device software I experience the following problem.
    Whenever I turn off my BlackBerry (8310) it appears to be turned off. However when I want to turn it back on (most often in the morning) it seems to be dead. When I plug it into the wall to recharge it, the battery symbol comes on. Obviously this means the battery was completely dead.
    Can someone help me??
    Thanks a lot!
    Patrick. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That's strange. In some times, when there is high humidity level the battery discharges faster than usual. But anyway it is too fast.
    Check this article:
    http://www.blackberrynews.com/2008/05/20/battery-u​se-tips-for-your-maximum-battery-life/
    And consider the battery replacement. That is not ok when battery discharges too fast with turned off device.

  • Battery runs out of gas, even when I'm plugged in!

    Just started happening yesterday, with speakers taking juice from a USB port and an external drive hooked up via firewire 400: in spite of having my power adaptor plugged into the computer, the battery level just started sinking till the computer turned itself off. Once off, the adaptor turns orange/red (sorry, I'm color blind!) again, and the battery slowly recharges itself.
    Anyone ever heard of such a thing? Thanks for any possible help or insight.

    Can you supply some more informations?
    1. What Model of Macbook have you?
    2. How old is it?
    3. Do you normally use it with the power supply unit not the battery?
    4.Is the 7 cycles the count of the charge cycles?
    Item 1 and 2 may tell us if the battery is under warranty.
    Item 3, if the computer as been used primarily on the external PSU for a long time then it can affect the battery life.
    Item 4, if it is the charge cycle then you have a new machine or item 3 perhaps applies.
    Of course you could also have a faulty charger, could you try another one?
    Resetting the SMC and PRAM may help, remote possibility but easy enough to try, see Apple support website for instructions for you particular computer.
    If in any doubt about the problem, have the computer checked out by Apple or an AASP.
