The perfectly logical explanation suggested itself when I examined the settings on each machine: the Sleep-and-Charge feature was evidently turned off by default on both my daughter's and my own laptop, whereas it was apparently turned on by default only on my son's. To see if that writer's suggestion even applied to my case, I disabled Sleep-and-Charge on my problem machine and then turned that laptop off with the intention of checking back in a few days.Įven if the battery were to then retain its charge, that raises the question: why just on that one laptop? Why do the other two Toshiba laptops remain unaffected?
Click "TOSHIBA | Tools & Utilities | Sleep Utility" menus. If you have a Toshiba laptop, here is how to access Toshiba's Sleep-and-Charge utility: It so happens that my new USB external hard drives for both my son's and my daughter's laptops do not have an a/c power supply instead, they draw power from the laptop itself. Sleep-and-Charge ports allow users to charge smart phones, MP3 players or other portable electronics even when the laptop itself is turned off. When I googled the problem, at least one blogger reported the issue as being caused by his laptop's Sleep-and-Charge feature. I have never seen the other two computers below 95% even under the same circumstances. Recently, whenever I turn the laptop on after 2-3 days of disuse, the battery level was down to 80% or so. The battery to my son's Toshiba laptop computer was discharging far more rapidly than my other two Toshiba laptops, even when completely turned off and the power unit unplugged.
