Acer aspire 5740-6378 will no longer charge the battery under Windows 7

The title sums it up.  I have a new computer that beginning yesterday will not charge the battery.  I didn't have problems with battery or power systems before that.

* original title - (sector, do not load) with 21% of battery. It has been so for 24 hours after several reboots. It is a 2 month old acer aspire 5740-6378. Is there a way to reset the power control software? So far, he has played very well.*

Managed to find a solution that worked for me.   I write this to help those who like me have sought a forum where this problem has been fixed.  I sent to acer tech support and they finally gave me this procedure:

Could you please go through the following steps to perform a power drain: 1. unplug the adapter from the laptop. 2. remove the battery. 3. press in and hold the button for about 30 seconds, then release. (You won't see anything happen) 4. connect the power adapter to the laptop. Make sure that the power adapter is plugged in. 5. Start the computer as usual. 6. After Windows starts, insert the battery. I hope this helps someone! Mike

    Laptop is about 2 years old.  Running on the Windows 8 origninal accompanying.  Had the same problem when it was purchased.  He sent to Acer.  Returned with no report / Details.  Has worked very well. Until recently.

    Noticed that seeing orange lights up when it feels like load and stops at 35% load.  Load is something dark, don't miss especially.

    Tried:

    Stick a PIN in the "battery reset" hole on the back

    Uninstalling the 'API Microsoft' battery

    Remove the battery to see if it'll work without it (it has an internal battery)

    Of course Acer won't help now since the warranty has expired.

    Please notify.  Thank you.

    Power plug has been checked, flinched 19V.

    Laptop briefly, then lost load capacity.  Checked power once again, 0V.

    Power adapter is bad.

  • Satellite A100 - will not charge the battery

    Hello

    I have ned to help. My Satellite A100 will not charge the battery. He works the power adaptor for the led indicates charging status, battery shows 1% of loading tatus information, but none does change - no loading any time. When disconnected everything just stops off like normal desktop.

    I've already put battery in and out, made upgrades to the antivir software, makes Toshiba controls, tests, but what ever he did did not any change. If there is no way for restoration of battery how to check what the problem is I have no second battery or AC I can always buy new batttery but I don't know if the old one is broken and weather new would work properly?

    Best regards
    pawelg

    Hi pawelg,

    I agree with the user above. The battery can be charged only up to 500 times, and after that, it must be replaced. I think it's the case now, I mean that everything works correctly on the AC adapter so I think that the battery must be the reason for this.

    By the way: you can buy a new battery to an authorized service provider. ;)

    My laptop will not charge the battery.
    Although Windows Xp recognize the battery and says loading, the battery does not charge.
    I tried with a spare battery that I thought that the battery was faulty, with the same results.

    Strange thing is, when I turn off the laptop the power led remains lit and the blue, even without the power supply attached therefore discharge the battery.
    The battery led is still orange but not load!

    Thank you

    Hello

    Generally, there are three possibilities;
    (1) the adapter is faulty
    (2) the battery is faulty
    (3) the logbooks electronic malfunctions (ESF)

    So now he of needed to check all these steps to find the fault.
    You said you've tried different batteries and AC adapter works too.
    So it is possible that there is something wrong with the electronic power supply

    In this case there is not much to do to contact the ASP in your country. Technicians should check the portable and should run diagnostics tests

    I recommend contacting the guys and ask for more details and manipulation still good luck and happy new year.

  • Does not not on the AC adapter / CC, but it will charge the battery

    Hi all

    Little annoying it...

    The laptop can run on current alternative at all... but it will charge the battery while the laptop is turned off. If I remove the battery it will not work for flashing the bios seems to be a fruitless task.

    Any ideas what could be the problem? Some of my reading on this forum suggest a motherboard failure, but I bought this laptop as a reconditioned/end of the line of PC World model and I'm not sure exactly of my rights with this.

    Any help is very appreciated.

    Hello

    Other people may be right. It looks like something wrong with the motherboard.
    Eventually it s a power supply electronic problem. but that's just a guess

    However, the solution is the same:
    You need a hardware technician who would like to know what part exactly malfunctioned and he would replace
    I think in your case it s a motherboard

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    You must charge the battery until the battery LED on the front of the laptop appears in green (or blue)!
    It s advisable to run the empty battery before you resume the second indictment.

  • LC - E6 quickly shows the flashing orange light. Will not charge the battery.

    The charger that comes with my new 5 d Mk III LC - E6 battery could not operate right out of the box. Would not load my new battery, nor any of my other Cannon batteries. Amber led flashes quickly.
    The old LC - E6 charger supplied with my EOS 7 d charging these batteries normally.
    I updated the scrapped charger delivered with my 5 d Mk III, and bought a new LC - E6 B & h. This unit has the same question. Sometimes it will load some of my batteries of Cannon, but more often the clear amber, after 20 seconds of just flashes quickly and will not charge the battery. My old charger LC - E6 Bill still all these batteries in normal mode.
    I use brand Canon LP - E6 batteries in these cameras.

    I followed the instructions found in the owner and guide online the site of Canon USA to charge the battery. The batteries are relatively new and show the good working condition on the information panel of the menu camera camera battery. These units (LC - E6) never worked properly.

    Tim,

    AC power removed normal home. All high-tech devices are functioning normally.

    As for replacement by Canon, I don't have the original invoices for this item, so I'm just going to buy another.

    Thanks again for your contribution.

  • Satellite M100 will not charge the battery while the computer is on

    Hi all

    I have a M100 and the battery won't charge while it is running.
    The battery starts to charge when I plug in the adapter and the orange light comes on. 10 seconds later it stops charging.
    If the battery has more than 90% of the costs it wll the rest very well.
    I have three batteries that all do the same thing on this computer. All three batteries are working fne on my other M series.

    When the computer is off, it loads very well.

    Why is it so?

    Hello

    I think that the problem of charging the battery is about the problem of portable equipment.
    Maybe it's something s wrong with electronic power supply or another part on the motherboard.
    I doubt that the problem could be solved by updating the BIOS but you should definitely check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS update and test again
    If that does not help, then you should get in touch with a local service for verification of equipment technician

    But note; If it s the question of the motherboard, the motherboard needs to be replaced and it would be a costly affair

  • How long should I charge the battery first?

    Hello!

    I would like to know how many time I charge the battery the first time...
    So, my laptop is new, but the battery's discharge after an hour, the power manager is installed...

    Site Web of Toshiba said I have work with laptop for 2 hours...

    Battery charging time depends on the laptop model.
    But you must charge the battery until battery LED appears in green.

    Also battery life is also depends on the use of the laptop.

  • Re: This option is available to charge the battery?

    It is rather a general question, although I use now L500-226 laptop running Windows 7 Home Basic.

    One of the main reasons, I continued using PC instead of the battery of computers (as laptops) is their need (laptops) periodically remove the charger and then reinsert it when the battery is low. Otherwise, keeping the charger is still plugged, the battery would suffer in two ways:

    1 - where the loading stops, the battery will not be able to restore full capacity for the first time. Of course, if the charge process to full discharge then to a low level is repeated once again, internal chemical reactions of the battery could be reactivated gradually to a good extent.

    2. in the long term, keep the battery in full charge State also decreases its MTBF (Mean-Time-Before failure).

    As we all know, the process of charging the battery to full then shock it in an optimal level of low could be repeated automatically by the software.
    Obviously this option must be set by the user first. In this case, there is no need to unplug the charger.
    And only when the user has to take the laptop where the voltage of the network are not available on request, this option would be disabled to avoid discharging the battery automatically.

    Does anyone think that this option is already available in some new Toshiba laptops and maybe L500 models?

    To be honest, I was told that the large companies in the world that produce batteries games can get significant extra revenue of the replacement of the battery packs in shorter periods. But in my opinion, the majority of PC users replace their PCs with laptops that are implementing the battery above, option since they will not have to pay each year (at best) to replace their relatively high price (specific for the manufactured product!) battery pack.

    Any idea?

    Thank you.

    This option is not available. All works automatically, and as the Akuma wrote, you should disconnect manually.

  • How to charge the battery if the power input is damaged?

    The decision-making power on my 4070CDT satellite was damaged and the laptop will no longer take power or charge the battery from this socket. (Attempts to re - solder the joint damaged power detection circuits!)

    Does anyone know if I can feed the appropriate voltage (10.8 v?) to the battery contacts in the battery casing to keep the laptop going, and if so, which comes into contact with and what tolerance on the voltage?

    (Application of 12v through the + ve and a particular contact - EV seems to persuade the power management software, it runs on sector without battery, but after 20 seconds the laptop turns off.)

    Any ideas? Thank you.

    Hello

    In my opinion to do something like that, you have to be an expert and know very well the construction of the motherboard and electronic load.

    Sorry, but I don't see a great chance to do that successfully. Try to contact the Service partner. Perhaps, they can give you a useful tip.

    Good luck!
