Aspire 5551 charging problem

Hi, I have and acer Aspire 5551 and I purchased 4 years ago. and recently the battery does not charge when I plug in the adapter, but it does sometimes when the laptop is turned off. I think theres a problem in the battery or an adapter, but I'm not sure.

I try to charge my laptop and it does not load and the battery icon does not load. Sometimes, if a disconnect the adapter and replace it it works for only a few minutes. I just wanted to know, would I need a new adapter? or a new battery?

Ok. Initially, you said that sometimes it loads for a few minutes if you unplug and then plug in the connector to the laptop or the laptop is off. While it is true that this could indicate a battery or Charger problem, I guess the battery leakage of current internal given its age - this would overload the charger and could stumble esp if the laptop was on. I would first try a new battery because they are relatively cheap as shown in this Amazon link. http://www.Amazon.com/replacement-laptop-battery-aspire-4400mAh/DP/B005TFONMC/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1 _...

The Chargers aren't that expensive either so you want to order one at the same time in order to qualify for free delivery Amazon. 8 ^) http://www.Amazon.com/4730Z-4631-5732Z-4437-5810T-8233-7741Z-4633-AS5552-3691/DP/B00763W35Y/Ref=sr_s...

    When I was downloading new BIOS, I noticed that windows has been downloaded from the updates, so when I was installing the BIOS, the update process might have been started.

    I had some problems with VirtualDiskDrives before that. Also, I didn't empty DVD drive icon in my computer. Only the hard disk and the memory card.

    Also, I have two OS on my HDD, win7 pro and a version of ubuntun (10 + I think).

    I tried to restore the BIOS with MemoryStick and fn + esc, but it shows that some information 1 s screen and passes to the list of the OS.

  • Aspire 5551-2384 on Windows 10 gel

    My Aspire 5551 will not run Windows-10 more than 15 minutes approximately. The laptop has a Crucial SSD mx-100, which was installed and run on Windows 7. Windows-10 is uptodate.

    Task Manager shows 100% disk usage even if it is minimal, IO Federal which tapers gradually about a.1 MB/s in about 10 seconds after that 100% appears.

    Invoking a task completes with an windows not responding do not message.  Sometimes, File Explorer will work if called.

    I understand that Acer is no longer supporting this model, nevertheless Micrsoft said this is avalid system.

    I've tried every tip/solution reported in the community forum and microsoft windows-10. Has anyone had this problem with this laptop? and if anyone has found a sustainable solution?

  • update of iOS 10 charging problem

    After the iOS10 on my iPad Air update, I started to have a charging problem.  With the cable is connected, the battery icon in the top right would change at "no charge".  I had an extension cable usb between the lightning and the wall outlet cable.  I removed the extension cable and load began to work properly.  Replace the extension cable and deliver returns.

    It's either a problem with the update or intentionally done to force people to buy Apple products.  What update of the system would interrupt the load with a replacement cable?

    I use spare parts but IFM certified cables without any problem.

    If your device does not load, try the procedure described in this article from Apple:

  • MacBook charger problem

    I have a macbook Pro retina, mid-2012, which has developed a charging problem.

    The load is around 14% and menu of the top indicates that the load. However, light 2 MagSafe is completely turned off, and when he drops by 14%, is not increase either.

    I tried a SMC reset without success. When he starts everything first (before) the battery shows 100%, but drops to 14 percent when it is connected.

    There is no debris around the connections and cables are in good condition. Socket is very stable.

    Any idea what's going on?

    Thank you

    It looks like a SMC problem. I would try to do the reset a few times more. Back in the way to be 100% on a reset SMC is by disconnecting the battery and by him plugging. If you have a local computer, small repair shop they can-off for free or cheap.

    Best,

  • Satellite 1130 battery charge problem

    Hi, just joined this site. I have a Satellite 1130 and seem to have a battery charging problem. Every so often, without regular pattern or a set of events to help the machine starts beeping and the Red charge blinks, as if the battery charge runs out, it is, but it happens when the charger is plugged - green power light shows that it is connected, but it is not the battery. The only solution I found is to turn the power off, disconnect the battery and back again. Then everything works until the next time.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    It is possible that there is a problem of electronic power supply. If the power supply microcontroller detects an error lamp DC IN sends a code flashing (8-bit error code). Can you please check it if the led blinks 8 times sending the code?

    You can try to contact the Service partner, explain the problem and I'm sure they can give you a clear explanation.

  • Satellite A200: Charging problem

    I have Toshiba Satellite A200 and recently I got some software with charging problems :(

    When the battery is on 96-99% it does not start when I plug the charging cable (and says that the battery is at 100%).
    If it is less than 96%, it starts to load, but it remains too long on 99% than before :(

    Anyone who is familiar is what I need to do to start to load even if it is about 97% (for example :))?)

    Have not observed this behavior management, but I can also say, that percentage is longer on 99 and then on others. Why, I don't know.
    And I didn't look if he is in charge of 96, above or below.

    I think it's normal and wouldn't call it a problem.

  • Battery charging problem

    My iPhone 5s has recently had a charging problem. Got off the phone with about 18% battery life left but when I plugged in to a charger it came back to life and showed 18%. However, with the charger plugged in now never charged iPhone or it does so very slowly. He fell to 16% and stayed there for about 2 hours. Eventually, he started to decline while still connected to the charger until it was empty and closed. I then connected on two different Chargers and he wouldn't return. I left him in charge all night and he was still dead in the morning.

    I had subsequently replace the battery and the charge was 34%. I decided to run low before the additional load as it was a new battery and better empty before recharging. However, the loading has become incredibly slow. I managed to load of 5% to 30% in a few hours, and then he stayed on 30% for 2 hours while I backed up things on my Mac and iCloud. I then continued the charge during the night and in the space of 10 hours, that she went from 30% to 95%.

    Why so slow taxation? I use an Apple USB with a new battery. My software is updated to January 27, 2016. Could there be a problem with the loading port, event, although she acknowledges the Chargers whenever they are connected.

  • strange charging problem

    I have a laptop DV7-3065DX that I got last Christmas and he has recently developed a strange charging problem.  The other day and all of a sudden that it stopped charging, so I left FS2004 and within 5 to 10 minutes, I was playing FS2004, it began to charge again.  I think it may be an overheating problem.  It is not a problem of power adapter, I tried to use my mother G60 adapter and still had the same problem during execution of FS2004.

    The problem has become so bad that it would not load when activated, I called HP and I sent it back to get fixed.  I came home today, and it works fine now.  They have repaired or replaced my mobo, the thermal pad, battery and ac adapter.  I paid only for shipping to the France and I am happy to use again.

  • updated drivers on Aspire 5551

    I've never updated my drivers on my acer aspire 5551. How can I know which ones to upgrade?

    Hi, to answer your question you would need basically know the version number of your drivers, because they are on your machine and then go to the Acer site and get the drivers for your computer and see if they are newer on the site other wise if your components of your system are well known enough, you may be able to use the drivers from the parent company...

    Alternatively, you can get a third-party program called slimdrivers and it will let you know what you need to upgrade and actually download and install it.

    P.S. a condition on slimdrivers site can be a bit tricky to navigate from a trial program, there is a lot of advertising on the site.

  • Updating BIOS for Acer Aspire 3000 / battery problems

    So I had a couple of Acer Aspire 3000 who were not working and got one to work...

    But it seems that I am having some problems when the battery is in it - and otherwise fine without him.
    Excessively long Shut Downs that go to the continuous reboots / Touchpad problems, gel, etc.

    Says the battery until it goes to @ 7-8%.  Then the battery does not charge.

    When the power adapter is disconnected - the battery is charge?

    Given that these laptops have been sitting around for a couple / few years... and have been given to me... I do not deny the possibility that the battery is not good. And there was only 1 battery using 2 laptops.

    After that she has charged at 7-8% - I unplugged it the adapter - and it ran for @ 20 min.  and said: '1 HR 30 min remaining"until she was cut.

    I also tried tried the - remove battery unplug adapter and hold the power button for 2 min method - then installed battery and adapter - but nothing helped...

    (On a side - note, which is probably not related - my wifi doesn't seem to be working - even though it appears, it does nothing wrong in. Device Manager - and runs a diagnosis does not help...) I know there are wireless networks but none does not appear! Broadcom 802. 11 g)

    In any case - I saw a post on a different site-say an UPDATE of the BIOS could possibly solve the problem of battery - (wifi may be too)...

    Given that I've NEVER DONE an UPDATE to BIOS; I'll ask NICELY, please walk me but this... with as little as ACKRONYNS and GEEK TALK as Possible (respectfully).  I had heard of this sort of thing - to download the update of the Bios... and I think it can be put on a Falsh player - but is a ZIP and should she be EXTACTED - which I'm not too big? Then "Select (something)? and then maybe restart... So now, I'm willing to give it a try - with some help and input.  THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE!  a link for the download and the proper BIOS UPDATE would be a big departure... - I guesss that goes without saying.

    So, here are some features of the information system: (I hope there enough, but please let me know if you need more)

  • iPad charging problem

    I have a slight problem because whenever I connect my iPad to my MacBook. The charge indicator will start to blink continuously between the load and do not load. My iPad is on iOS 10 beta also and my iPad charges with the normal load brick in the wall without problem. Any help appreciated.

    Alex

    At best, the iPad will get only a charge of maintenance by the usb port and will take a long time to load. The off / / indicator means he needs more power than the usb port can provide. Use the wall charger.

    If this started after you installed the beta version operating system, we cannot discuss beta programs here. You must take this in the developer community.

    Good day.

  • iPhone charging problems

    Hello

    I have an iPhone 6, running iOS 9.3.4 (with the last update August 6, 2016).

    Problem: I had problems with the load of my iPhone from these days, I sometimes had to push little difficult cable in the port or adjust a bit kind only then it will load. I thought that it would be little dust in the port of loading, but has not had time to clean it up (even if it's just 5 min of work). Basically I was afraid to put any tiny substance in the port, fearing that I might wear a link inside.

    Today, after the last update of iOS, the wound't just phone load. I took it to an apple store, the person there took dust from the port of loading, but it has not yet load. He said that we may need to replace.

    Later at home after making a reference to "If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won't charge - Apple Support ', I tried to connect to my MacBook air to see if it charges after awhile, but it did not work.

    Then I turned the phone off and you press home + sleep together and started the phone and voila my MacBook has detected the phone and he was in charge. However, after that 95% of charge I removed the cable from the phone charger and fixed again to see if the problem persisits and guess what there is not charge again.

    I tried the same turn off phone and press home + sleep button phone started to load.

    I'm really worried now is this a hardware problem of charging port? Or is this a software problem caused by the last updated?

    You updated the phone, using the Wi - Fi option? If so, try again to back to factory settings, using iTunes on your Mac. This will download a new copy of the 9.3.4 and install it on your phone. Restore the backup after that and see if the workload problem is still missing.

    In the case of the docking port is always to give you trouble, is then related equipment, given that the firmware has been installed again completely.
