Why my laptop battery life FARKING LOW?!?!?!?! Im using M40-P545, been using it for almost a year. It can only last 1.5hrs THE MAX!!! sian la....anyone knows a way to prolong my lappy battery life? But overall performance is very good, its just that the battery life thing is pissing me off....i bring my lappy out also cannot, must find the power socket everytime i go out... . Its just like the 2nd desktop nia...need AC power to operate. DAMN GAY!!!

i using toshiba A100-P543 i jz brought it at pc fair..
i jz wonder why the recover disc tat toshiba provide..
it cant set the partition of the hardisk....
does any toshiba user face this problem?
got any solution on it??

Hi guys, after reformat, i cant get in the Toshiba Express Media. Now i cant watch DVD without having to boot up the Windows. Pls let me know how to retore it back. Thx.

Well, I'm also a M40 user here, same model as yours. My battery lasts me at least 2 hours. Try not to over charge the battery. If you want a better battery, toshiba does have a 12 cell battery for it, but that doesn't come cheap, at least around RM600~700.

my toshiba L100 also actualy last about 1.30 hours and I just bought it 6 weeks ago but so far quite satisfy with their performance as well.

toshiba portege S100-S1133 user here

Yes, u cant set partition with the recovery disc. u got two options: re-format using the windows xp cd, install all the drivers urself (bloody hassle process) or partition ur hard drive using 3rd party software.

Use the recovery cd again to reformat ur laptop. My toshiba express still work fine even i format using the recovery cd.

then what 3rd party software do u recommand?
can i get this software anywhere?or download?

haha, i have the same problem as you, my laptop only last about 2 hour max with life long setting

Have been using Toshiba Satellite A80-P440 for more than one year already. My battery still can last for 2.5 to 3 hours, always charge untill full before use and then use untill it almost empty(>10% power left)

Me too!

Not mine, just user. How much did you get yours for?

Two weeks is a LONG time to be without a laptop!
My ThinkPad had its motherboard changed and it took less then 4 days.

he said 2 days, not 2 weeks =.=
