A31p controller and upgrade and BIOS battery problem.

Well well, Hello, my first time here and I hope that can get help from you.

I am owner of a thinkpad A31p, bought a few years ago, and now I decided to upgrade the bios and the controller. so far, no big deal.

The problem is with the battery pack. He died, or the charger does not work.

The instructions for the updates remind you should have a fully charged battery. As I do not have a good working battery condition I'm afraid to do the upgrade I don't know what can happen.

Is there a problem if I do upgrades without battery or with a dead battery? Will it work?

Thanks for your help.

José

'Brick machine' is doorstopper use only, dead as can be.

What issues are exactly are you experiencing?

  • Satellite A210 - heating and BIOS update problem

    My aunt was having problems with his A210, so she bought herself a new and gave me the old one. The problems that she has been seen was the computer kept stopping at random. I think it's an overheating problem because the laptop runs quite hot. The BIOS has never been updated so I thought that might help with this problem. in any case, when I tried to update the BIOS this error message came.

    Cannot load the C:\Users\Dan\Desktop\MK10AWF\PHLASHNT driver. SYS.

    I am the only user on the computer so I have administrator privileges and I don't know why this error is coming. Help, please. Thank you

    > Has anyone else experienced problems with the A210 of overheating? All solutions?
    Hi mate

    I m a Satellite A210 owner and to be honest, a higher internal temperature might occur if the laptop would not get enough air to cool the internal parts like CPU and GPU.
    A few weeks ago, I used the laptop on the sofa I don't the opinion of t that the cooling that are placed at the bottom of the unit fans were clogged because of my position relax, if you know what I mean ;)

    After a short period of use, the laptop shut down automatically I was a little surprised, but I realized that air could not circulate, and so the laptop overheated

    Now, I m using the unit only on the desktop. This method is recommended, and it helps to keep the temperature at the lower level

    PS: My BIOS is updated...

  • CPU and BIOS update problem

    I have a M57P 6395 33 M system and some time ago I added an E8500 CPU, I thought it would work even if Lenovo not listed the E8200, E8400. I was a little disappointed and I still wonder WHY lenovo gets SO specific with CPU connection. I don't see why she accepts only 2 CPUs and no other?

    Well, I bit the bullet and found an E8400 to put in the machine. I added CPU, removed the MB battery and left out for a while then went back on the new shoe, set all the necessary info. The first part of the BIOS screen mentions that there lies an E8400 (as he did for the E8500) but when it goes through the boot process it is said AGAIN that the CPU code is not enough to recognize the E8400. I am now confused.

    When I updated the BIOS, I used the that I've been led to believe was the GOOD .54KT23AUS (through the windows), but I still get the error 0167. It would be better for me to put the back E8200, re run the BIOS update using a CD?

    and there is another update of BIOS listed for the M57P 2RKT64A, I wonder if it would be better? It is not for use on 6395 but, the FIRST thing listed for THIS update is an update of firmware of CPU.

    I know that this means not much to all the world and I hear people say 'why bother? ' but I would use the machine as I'm n ot offer a more recent machine as I am a pensioner.

    A little help please.

    Thanks a lot for the quick response. I tried Flash via the CD with the E8400 in and it would not allow me to do when he came up with the error of CPU to half way through. I have since updated the E8200 back and did the BIOS update through the CD. The machine seems to have taken the update of the better BIOS this time but, the E8400 still does not work

    As for the E8400 CPU, I have an Intel CPU program on the computer and deepening classified by it for the E8400 says it's A07? However, I can't find any info on it. I guess I either will set up with hitting the F2 key when I start with the E8400 inside or just keep the E8200.

    I finnd the info on these rather confusing processors. The Intel CPU app I have gives me different information from a site like CPU world. The TDP of the processors are 65W but the ONLY thing I see different is the deepening of the base. The E8200 is listed as C0, while the E8400/8500 are E0. Why who would have much effect on the use of the more major? You would have thought that Lenovo engineers could make the system accepts the E0 revision or what is Lenovo wants to sell a new machine?

    Like I said, it's a shame that Lenovo is so affected by these machines with tunnel vision. Well

  • Upgrade the BIOS Y700 problem

    My Y700 is running v30 Bios. Lenovo has released a update (v35) a few days ago I installed it but I had a lot of problems with the graphics card. I made several relocations of all drivers, but always Nvidia did not work properly. I came back to v30 and all problems are gone. Now when I want to update BIOS to v35, which is now recommended by Lenovo, I have this information during the update process:

  • EliteBoook HP 8530w battery problems

    I am running Windows 7 Professional on my Elitebook and having battery problems.

    What happens when the computer is plugged into the wall it will load and allow for laptop turn on or stay even if the battery is removed.

    If it's just the battery and not cap it not turn on or cut the power, if it's on.

    The battery is relatively new, I just replaced 2 months ago.

    Recently, I did a clean install of Windows 7 in 3 weeks when this problem started to occur. I had the battery works for a week or so, by removing the drivers for the battery. However, I have reinstalled the drivers yesterday for the media card and all of a sudden the battery does not work yet. I tried to do a system restore to before installing the drivers card media and it does not work. I tried to remove the drivers for the battery again like last time and that did not work.

    I installed HP Battery Check and it says that my battery is ok.

    If anyone can give me a help any with this problem I would be very happy! Thank you

    If you would like more information on the computer, please do not hesitate to ask I'll try to provide it.

    You are so very welcome Jobbernowle!

    The battery has a part number or product number on there?

    To be honest, since the battery worked when you installed it in another laptop that implies, for me, it works.  As a general rule, this means that the connection of the battery to the laptop was having problems.  However, normally in this case the battery is not recognized at all.

    So, I would like to confirm that the battery is recognized when you have the laptop on the sector.  You mentioned in your original post that the battery check said, it was beautiful, but I would like just to confirm once again.

    Have you tried updating your BIOS to the latest version?  It is a good step to take in material related to issues like this that sometimes the BIOS can have strange problems.  In my opinion, This is the latest version of the BIOS.

    Let me know the result.  I'll be waiting for your response.

  • A3000 battery problem, charges to 99%, reduced to 15 per cent in a few minutes

    Hello.

    My A3000 ZTE has a battery problem. It charges quickly (in about 10 minutes) to 99%, and then when I unplug it, it would decrease 2% per minute (while the wifi / 3 g/bluetooth/auto rotation is turned off). Then it stops at 15%. It is very annoying because it worked fine yesterday. I bought the Tablet about 2 weeks ago, and the battery life was great until today.

    What can I do?

    Thanx

    Thanks for the reply. I think I might have fixed for now.

    I did the following, and now the battery works fine again:

    First of all, I drained the battery, it took a few hours because he was stuck on 15%, but after awhile, it's just off. So I guess it was completely empty.

    Then I kept away and loaded, it is only loaded up to 99%, but this time it took a lot longer than 10 minutes, which gave me hope. I turned it on, and the battery problem had disappeared. It works perfectly now.

    Maybe these steps he has reinstalled the battery or something.

    Thank you very much

  • Battery problem (CPU a bottleneck) with BIOS and Intel SpeedStep technology.

    The question is this:

    1. If the AC adapter and the battery are both connected on the X201T, the speed of the CPU (base clock) is capable of running at the maximum speed of 2.13 GHz as indicated by the specifications of the system.
    2. If only the battery is connected, the speed of the CPU is still able to run at maximum speed of 2.13 GHz as indicated by the specifications of the system.
    3. If only the AC adapter is plugged in, the speed of the CPU is now 'limited' and can run only at 1.2 GHz.
    4 in addition, I also ran Windows Experience Index assessment (built-in to Windows 7) and received a score of 6.3 with the battery or the AC adapter is plugged in, but only a score of 4.2 with only the AC adapter.
    5. the system is significantly slower and cursor shifts are more noticeable when the battery is disconnected.

    Control Panel:
    A.the system has been set at maximum Performance with all the power saving settings turned off. The system has been fully updated for the latest updates and possible drivers from 12/03/10 at the time of the breathalyzer test.  No other software is installed that came with the ThinkPad when I received it.
    B. with the connection and disconnection of the battery, the system has been individually disabled every time and restarted.
    C. I ran full system Test and system through Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox stress Test and received no errors to ensure that the question was not due to system errors.
    D. I used CPU - Z 1.56 v to monitor the speed of the CPU, all running Intel BurnTest v2.50 to insist on the system.
    E. the problem is reproducible and probably a system wide problem/bug, because I tested it on two my X201T (I know it's weird, but I have two of these amazing machines).

    Update:

    After further testing, I've isolated the problem of "Bottleneck the CPU processor without battery" occurs only when the technology Intel SpeedStep in BIOS is enabled. Only when the SpeedStep technology option is cleared "completely", this problem will not occur. However, if the SpeedStep technology is enabled, even when the AC is set on maximum Performance, the CPU processor speed is limited when the battery is disconnected with the tablet running only on the AC adapter. This seems to be a bug in the BIOS.

    If someone can communicate this problem Lenovo Engineering Department so that they can arrive at a solution, that would be great and very helpful. So I can work on my system without always having the battery plugged.

    There are 2 solutions for that.

    You spend more money for a 90W power adapter (which I did), then you can disconnect the battery and it will run at full speed.

    Or, you go into the BIOS and turn off IntelSpeedStep.

    Unfortunately, without the battery, when only using the 65W adapter, your speed will be throttled (I think it's a mistake on the end of Lenovo, but they claim it's normal).

  • Satellite A210-1AP - battery and power supply problem

    A few weeks ago I received my laptop (Satellite A210) reapair and the motherboard was changed.

    Since then, I got problem with the battery when it is inside and power cable is pluged.
    When the cable is in the laptop running on battery power I do not know why. Then when I turn it off battery led is lit Orange and the battery is charging.
    When the PC is turned on, the indicator light does not work and the battery becomes lower.

    So I wonder what the problem is.
    I read somewhere that this problem could solve the BIOS update.
    So anyone have experience like this.
    Also how is installed BIOS, I saw there is an installer for windows (so I guess it isn't hard).

    And somehow can back up old BIOS so I can go back if something bad happens.

    > A few weeks I got my laptop (Satellite A210) reapair and the motherboard was changed.
    > Since then, I had problem with the battery when it is inside and power cable is pluged.

    In my opinion, the technician has done something wrong
    The point is that this problem occurs after the exchange of motherboard and I think what this is about.

    Contact the ASP who repaired the laptop and explain your problem.
    I doubt that a BIOS update would solve this problem. I think it s a question an electrician

  • Video driver and Bios graphics (the two A06) problems

    I upgraded my bios to A06 7/10, when he was released. I also upgraded my Intel drivers, including graphics drivers, 7/10-version A06 releasing. Everything seemed fine at first. However, some applications of Windows 8, such as the application of Windows of Lync, have graphics problems.

    All the text and labels in the Lync application are white or black, including what I type in the message window. It makes it unusable. I tried to reinstall the graphics driver. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the Lync application. Nothing works.

    In my view, that it is an Intel graphics driver issue. The old drivers had no issue. Older drivers don't seem to work with the new bios. Once installed, the display shows really dark, even at 100% brightness. Therefore, the new drivers are needed, but cause my app of Lync problem.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Update: Windows updates again this week (via Windows update) which addressed this issue. Everything works again with Windows 8.1.

    FYI - Windows update was unreadable... so I had to use another computer W8 beside my tablet as a way to help guess what is needed (given that the text was just long lines instead of letters).

  • laptops with battery problems and does not turn on

    I get Strait to the point and say that I have 2 laptops that are causing a bit of touble.the the first is hp dv6 4023tx it worked fine one moment connected to food I have remove the power cable and its fine I turn it off leave it for about an hour and it will not power on I had a look at the error codes different and found that the code I get is an error of System Board and I'm not sure what to do about it. the other laptop is a dv3 2002tu and battery decided to die on me and I'm not sure what to do with it either. I download the wizard of battery and it gives me an OK (4) im not sure what that 4 means but it might be useful the dv3 .ps is the computer laptop im using to send these messages and get only on when plugged into an external power source.

    Hello @DBG-spas .

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand your laptops have feeding problems and the battery.

    If there are system errors Council you will need service on the motherboard. You can contact HP telephone support for options of repair and maintenance at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

    The question of DV3 is a little different. If the battery is not the laptop, but it works very well with the power connected, it could be the battery or on the motherboard connections that are the problem. The only way to be really sure if its in the computer or the battery is to try another battery. The bad news here is that, to try another battery, you have good enough to buy one, that may not solve the problem.

    You can find the battery searching these reference numbers (according to what battery you have):

    Part number of battery 9 cells, 83-Wh-530803-001
    Part number 6-cell, 55-Wh-530802-001 battery
    Part number 6-cell, 47-Wh-530801-001 battery

    It is finally to if you want to make the bet or not, but you can also contact you the HP support by phone for repair on this one as well.

    Sorry for the bad news, but we hope this helps.
