I've been having quite a bit of problems with my laptop battery lately. For some reason when it's not plugged in, my computer will automatically shut off without warning with around 50 - 60% charge still left, according to Windows.
Ive got an old Mac Powerbook G4, and ive noticed lately that the battery continues to drain even when its plugged in while im using it. When i stop using it the battery charges back up.
I have a bluetooth mouse connected to my laptop.
Much to my delight (I posted the suggestion!) the mouses battery is now displayed along side the laptop's battery.
Unfortunately is is named simply "battery" in the drop down and "Laptop battery" once the power statistics windows is opened.
I have a hp laptop. I have just updated from 10.04 to 12.04. I had no problem with 10.04 (that is, a few hours ago). Now the battery doesn't charge anymore when the battery wire is plugged. I am however sure it is plugged correctly, as the screen gets brighter when I plug it. It stays at 12%. What's wrong? Is this a known bug ? What could I try to understand what's the problem ?
I bought a battery For HP Mini 5101 from US in April .I had the common problem of charger being plugged in but not charging, I tried all the reboot and tapping the power button etc, etc... None worked, so as long as the computer worked when plugged in I carried on, until now. It has completely died on me now, so help...
I have a Dell Studio XPS 16 laptop. I have replaced the battery and the charger. While the laptop will run on AC power it will not charge the battery and the battery is such like: http://www.scontobatteria.com/dell-studio-xps-16.html . It says plugged in not charging. If I restart the laptop I get an error screen that says the charger is not recognized. Is there a solution to this?
Hi there,
My laptop LG E500 L.AP55P, going on ~5 years now, and is doing remarkably fine, apart from the battery stuff.
The battery indicator is broken most of the time. Sometimes I get the actual indication of the time remaining, but the majority of the time it reads a charge cycle, although the power is not plugged in, or states 0% battery.
Hi, I have a friend that his laptop uses windows 7 32bit OS and recently his battery has an error message. saying something that he needs to replace his battery.
I played around with it. I took the power cord off and kept the laptop one. it went from 100% full to 75% then to 65% and I plugged the cord back in when it went to 55%.
I want to give some life to my old laptop, and recalibrate the battery (old now).
When reading around on forums, the common info is to turn on the PC, drain the batt, even from Bios, and then recharge batt without having the PC on, and repeat cycle until satisfied.
I hope there is a way to soft up this via ACPI without the need to actually let the PC die out of misery.
I was hoping for a program t
