Tecra A2: Power Saver doesn't work properly

I have a Tecra A2 and i was using Xp Pro quite happily. Last few months the Power saver has not been working right. I have unistalled and reinstalled the software and drivers and updated BIOS. It doesn't give me a proper estimated time anymore.
When on battery it dissappears quicker and will mot give the correct time. Also the system stops every time on a Critical Battery Warning on 3pc even wen i have adjusted the Low Battery settings in the menu.?
Ignores the settings completely. Has anyone come across this b4. I have ZoneAlarm (upto date), Spysweeper and sometimes Webroot Window Washer running. I have used Registry Mechanic to test everything and Spydoctor to check system.
I use Outlook and IE regular. I use Limewire, Nero, MsN.
Help!

Hi
Usually the battery is designed for about 500 charge procedures.
You issue sound like the broken or faulty battery.
Its a normal issue that after a long working time the battery doesnt work properly and its necessary to replace it.
I recommend also to remove the battery during the working with the AC adapter. In this case your increase the battery working time (life)

  • Toshiba Power Saver doesn't work with limited user account

    Hello,
    this same question was posted in 2006 - not by me - with no successful answer. I try again.
    If you create a user with restrictions account (member of the local USERS group) in XP, then he cannot manage either the embedded Windows power options, and the Toshiba Power Saving tool.
    I managed, working on file and registry permissions, to have the Windows power options working. But I still can't launch the Toshiba Power Saving tool, it always pop-ups the "you don't have rights" box.
    Is there really nothing I can do to work around this?
    thanks

    I have the exact same problem on my Tecra 9100 (PT910E) just accquired on Ebay with minimum XP Pro SP2 installation.
    Akuma I tried to your advice with my Power saver version 5.04.00 (file 20071126153401) without success.
    The only way I could find to run Power saver is directly from the icon in the Admin account, or through the console. I could not then find "setup options" only "Details" of the various power schemes. No "Allow Limited User to change settings" box/button anywhere.
    Can you clarify further ?
    thanks

    Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again without letting me take any action. Is there any solution?

    Hey, There are afew things you can try.
    - Simply turn your phone off and back on again
    - Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
    - Close all open applications
    Hope this helps!

  • What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

    QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
    AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
    To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
    Reinstall the Driver
    Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
    Power Cycle
    Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
    Ensure the laptop is turned off.
    Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
    Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
    Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
    Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
    Reattach the battery if removed.
    Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
    Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
    Start the computer and test the drive
    Microsoft Fix-it
    Your computer may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
    Your CD or DVD drive no longer appears in Windows
    Your CD or DVD drive does not read or write and is shown as disabled
    The media in your CD or DVD drive cannot be read
    The media cannot be written to a CD or DVD inserted into the drive
    You receive an error message about your CD or DVD drive
    If any of these symptoms apply to your computer, use Microsoft Fix-it troubleshooter available here.
    System Restore
    Try using System Restore to restore to the most restore point from before the problem arose.
    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    System Recovery
    If the System Restore doesn't solve the issue, you could try a System Reset. Resetting your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system reset will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
    For more information on performing a recovery, see the following article:
    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    Contact Customer Support
    If the drive doesn't work after performing a recovery, it may be due to hardware failure. Please call customer support or seek servicing.

  • Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

    Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • A65-S159 - I can't use the CD Recovery because my CD/DVD doesn't work properly

    Hi, I need help to reinstall the system and drives. It's a Satellite A65-S159. The CD/DVD doesn't work properly. Rarely, the CD/DVD can read a DVD. So I can't use the CD Recovery. What may I do?
    Thank you,
    Cabula, Brazil

    There are two ways to run the recovery DVD, one is from Windows.  Instead power ont he computer with the disk in the drive.  And imediatly after powering on start pressing the F12 key.  After a few seconds you should see a boot device menu that you can select the CD/DVD drive to boot from.  Try that and let us know if you got the boot menu, and if the disk worked.

  • Iphone4 doesn´t work properly in 3G mode

    My iphone4 doesn´t work properly in 3G mode. Telefon calls break and telefone quality is poor. Internet is mostly not posssible. With 2G both (Telefone, Internet) work. The problem is not that vodafone net is poor because other smartphones work properly at the same location. Telefone calls often break with "no connection" even with 5 sticks. Internet speed is mostly poor, i.E, slower than 2G. It is definitly not a net problem. I think (not sure) the problems occures wit IOs 4.3.3

    Thanks for your help Jeffrey,
    But
    - I checked with several USB audio devices, from different providers. The issue is the same.
    - I checked with several applications (Winamp, MediaPlayer, ...). Same issue.
    - I checked these devices with different laptops (tried 3 different models) : I have NO PROBLEM.
    - The USB devices I use do not need external power supply. I tried EDIROL UA-25 which works perfectly in any case, but not with my TOSHIBA M40.
    - I agree that some application can disturb audio management. But in that case, I would like to know which one from the standard installation is the cause, so that I can fire it. It's anyway curious to see that switching from ACPI to Standard mode fixes the issue, as all applications are still there. I would say the applications are not the issue, then.
    - All Microsoft updates have already been installed
    - I think I tried everything that could be done by closing applications, changing power management modes, system cache, ...
    - I have no other hardware device connected/installed (printer or whatever)
    - RECORD works perfectly. So if some application layer was disturbing, I would bet it would bother in Play and Record as well.
    CONCLUSION : Unless someone can prove it (and I'm ready for some testing), I still believe there's a harware/driver layer that is faulty in the Toshiba management.
    And I don't need to contact the manufacturer, as I AM one of them :)
    If you are part of the Toshiba support, let me know. Maybe we can investigate together.
    FYI : I had to create a new user ID for this forum as it did not accept the one I created this morning anymore :(
    Thanks anyway.

  • Frontpanel of X-Fi Fatal1ty doesn't work properly

    Hi!
    My frontpanel doesn't work as it should. It doesn't has any functionality on one of the three buttons. And volumecontrol also does not work there. Neither with original drivers from creative nor with Daniel K.
    Do you have any suggestions? I am running Vista 64 SP2.

    Re: Frontpanel of X-Fi Fatalty doesn't work properly Yes this is what happens with those Front panels/ i-o bays. Sometimes when installing them, people turn the IDE cable that connects the card to the bay the opposite way that it should be. PIN on the bay should go to pin on the sound card, but people reverse that and sometimes the bay partially works. Other times, people do not plug a floppy power connector into their machine, and again, part of the bay works, and part of it doesnt. Please check these connections on both the "IDE style of cable" and your power connector doing to your I/O baby.

  • Iphone 5 update to IOS7.0.2: on/off button doesn't work properly

    Since I updated my iphone5 to IOS 7.0.2 the on/off button doesn't work properly. When i try to restart it, it takes pictures from desktop and fails constantly

    Hey rcaudillo,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your Sleep/Wake button. The following article outlines some troubleshooting steps:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Sleep/Wake button will not lock or unlock iPhone
    1. To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
    2. To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
    3. If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    4. If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
    5. Try to lock or unlock the phone.
    If you continue to have issues, we may need to isolate the issue further to determine if it is hardware related. The best way to do this would be to restore your iPhone as new:

  • Dreamweaver 8  doesn t work properly on imac intel "17"

    Hello guys need some help, I m new to mac and I´ve installed dreamweaver 8 but it doesn t work properly. Instead of the insert toolbar I get boxes with a '?' plus in some occasion when I want to save a work instead of the usual " save or ok or discard" the button appears as " undefined". Can anyone help please?
    Here is a picture of the error I get. Regards

    imac 17 intel duo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    It would appear to me when you installed Dreamweaver,
    some image files got misplaced or lost by mistake.
    Did you ever go and search for images and start
    erasing images you didn't know what they came from?
    If you did, then those may be the image. Those
    images are little modular pieces that Dreamweaver
    uses to display information on the screen.
    I would install Dreamweaver from scratch and make
    sure it is in the Applications folder.
    Hi, did everything posible, I even downloaded a evaluation version, just in case but it seems it s only me who has this problem, I problaby need to download somekind of firmware or java but don t know which. Cheers

  • My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.

    I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.
    Now, I plug it into my old computer which still has the palm software with my apps, and I run the sync operation (from the palm device sync manager, cause I lost my cradle and I'm connected via the serial cable), and it syncs fine BUT, here comes the problem, when it finishes the sync (successfully) the touch screen is all misaligned. I can't go back to the home screen or do anything useful.

  • Volume and Power button doesn't work..how do I fix?

    My son's volume buttons or the power button doesn't work.  Is there something I can do to fix these issues?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem.
    - 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
