How Long should a Toshiba laptop battery last?

How Long should a Toshiba laptop battery last?
I just got a Toshiba laptop, but the battery doesn't seem to be lasting very long. On the computer, it shows the % the battery has left before it dies. But it seems like its losing 1% of life every minute, so the battery would only last not even an hour and a half. Is this normal? Any ideas/help??

If the laptop is new this isn't normal battery behavior. The battery should be good for 3-6 hours depending on what you do (running the CD/DVD will consume it quicker putting it's charge lifetime closer to the 3hr end if this use is continuous). If it is new you should exchange the battery as it should be under warranty. If replacing the battery doesn't fix it, you might want to replace the laptop as some problem with it could be causing the battery to drain extra fast. If this isn't a new laptop and battery then this could be normal for a battery that's about to die.

As much as it might suck to hear, but this is completely normal for toshiba laptops...I know it sucks. I bought a toshiba laptop once and in a couple of months, the battery was dead! Completely dead! I went online to buy a new one and found this out: "After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for all batteries." I was really dissapointed...

Battery life may vary considerably from specifications depending on product model, configuration, applications, power management settings and features utilized, as well as the natural performance variations produced by the design of individual components. Published battery life numbers are achieved on select models and configurations tested by Toshiba at the time of publication. Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not charge while computer is consuming full power. After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for all batteries.

the toshiba site should have drivers. also try windows update and look for the hardware drivers that may be available.
2 :
Toshiba Support by the hardware and devises installed and listed on your lap top model: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp The driver downloads are free.

Al the drivers for your laptop are on the Toshiba web site listed under your model number and Win Xp. ~ You will have to download them separately but they will all be together. http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp#

Try @ the toshiba site, it should have the drivers for your laptop. Use another computer to download the drivers and save them to a usb flash stick if your laptop's Ethernet or wireless is not working. http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp#

How to fix a Toshiba laptop keyboard?

How to fix a Toshiba laptop keyboard?
I think there are some buttons to push because this has happened before, but I completely forgot what buttons. Has anyone ever had this problem and fixed it before, where the keyboard won't work on a Toshiba laptop. How can I fix this?

There is a chance that the cord for the keyboard was damaged. If that is true you will have to buy a new keyboard. The keyboard might have just disconnected. Try taking the toshiba to a computer repair man to have him take it apart and look, or if you are really careful you can do it yourself.

Are we to guess as to the model number of your lap top and the installed operating system ? Open control panel from start screen go to keyboard and click enable.
