There is a small piece of software called Battery Care. It is free and available in many languages. All power settings are configurable.

Just google for it and install. Guess it will solve the problem.

Add another one to the mix. I bought an NB200 yesterday and it's driving me insane with its bleeping from 10% onwards. I've set the Power Saving options to 3% for "Low" and 2% for "Critical" but it doesn't seem to have registered for some reason. When is there going to be a fix for this?

Palwing is right.

You dont need to do anything with bios or updates.
Go to control panel > Sounds > find the speakers (realtek high definition audio) > right click and select properties > click on the second tab across 'Levels' > mute the PC beep slider by clicking on the speaker icon.
This will solve the problem, tried and tested. Works on my NB2000-12N. This is on windows vista or 7, but should work the same on XP too.

The installed system is windows xp and there is no beep slider.
I need an official response and solutions from a Toshiba member of staff or it's back to the shop with this computer.

I was also annoyed by this beep and I managed to found a solution on another forum:

I have found the solution to this problem. Unfortunately - despite trying very hard on several calls - Toshiba Tech Service is not aware of it (as of January 2010), so I hope they pick up on this post.

The issue appears to be related to the "Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager" which is in Control Panel. Go to Start / Control Panel and open "Realtek HD Sound Effect Manger". At the top of the blue Realtek screen there are a number of tabs ("Sound Effect", "Mixer", "Audio I/O" etc). It won't immediately appear, but If you hit the button to scroll to the right (just to the right of the tabs), you will find another tab labeled "Power Management". (Note that this tab does not normally appear - you have to scroll to the right for it to become visible.) If you pick "Disable Power Management" and hit OK, it allows you to gain control over the volume of the low battery beep.

It was a relieve to found a solution!

That would probably work, but the NB200 doesnt have a 'Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager' in the control panel. I believe that it is only in the NB205 and later models. Thus the problem is not solved for the NB200.

Great Job! It works I have a NB200 10G and it works fine. Infact I have just written this message in complete silence at 8% battery! Thanks a million for this little gem.

Why couldnt Toshiba let us know how to do this its taken months for someone to come up with the answer.

Thanks again - Great Job!

ps Its listed in control panel on my model as Realtek HD Audio Control Panel

Update:

DEFINITELY works with my NB200-11L. At around 8%, battery warning starts beeping. Now I can turn it off by muting the audio using the speaker icon.

Thanks for this, hope it works for others.

For those users not seeing the "PC Beep" option when opening up their volume control--

1. Open the volume control by clicking the speaker symbol on the Windows start bar, next to the system clock
2. Go to Options- Properties
3. Check the box for PC Beep.
4. Adjust!
