Bad battery installed in U410
I started my U410 in Ubuntu and checked the battery capacity. The theoretical ability showed 46 Wh, instead of the 59 Wh on the hardware maintenance manual... can anyone else confirm?

Satellite L850 - stop display the health message bad battery
have replaced the battery in my laptop (clamps to ok) but I can't seem to stop the health message showing bad battery

What can I do and I may have lost my time battery change
BrianHello. I think you have to "train" your new battery to the load sensor give real information about it. You must make a minimum 5-6 charging cycles. For this you need full - charge it and unplug the AC, wait for the battery to go until your portable computer shuts down (you can work on it as usual) and then full - charge again. The repetition. If you have used your new battery for a while, then, perhaps, you would need more charge cycles.
PS-once I had a message on the State of health of my battery in L - 50. I've done full-load/full discharge for about two weeks. Now the status of my battery is still good.

This error is a bit confusing. At first glance it seems to refer to the CMOS/RTC battery but actually refers to the main battery to the laptop. Even if the computer indicates that the battery is at 100%, it would be a good idea to check that it is in working condition. I think that it is a good first step, because although it doesn't show 100% charge, you say the laptop does not work unless it is on current alternative. This paper addresses the issue further.
As indicated in the document, the HP Battery Check will be performed to determine if the battery is faulty.
To perform battery check do the following and display the result.
- Unplug the power cord and turn the computer off.
- Press on the button / stop to turn on the computer.
- Press the ESC key immediately seeing the HP or Compaq logo screen.
- The Start menu appears.
- Press F2 to select F2 System Diagnostics .
- Select battery Test in the list of diagnostic tests.
- Connect the power supply cable.
- Click Start Test Battery on the battery Test page.
If your battery fails this test, it will need to be replaced. To get a spare battery, you will have to contact HP Support. If you are in the USA / Canada you can call to the 1-800-474-6836. If you are located outside of this area, you will need to go to the HP support site and after selecting your country, search for "Customer Support" in the lower right corner to get contact information for your region.
I hope this helps!

My VAIO laptop charge to 80%. Is this a bad battery?
My Vaio laptop charge to 80%. Is this an indication of a bad battery? When plugged in the message states: "80% of available power (plugged in, does not support).
Hello bdare,
All batteries have a limited life expectancy (a limited number of charge/discharge cycles). To increase battery life, the Sony battery maintenance program allows the user to choose a setting to stop laptop at 80% or 50% battery charge, which increases the useful life of the battery. Constant 100% charge and discharge of a battery creates additional wear on its load cells and decreases battery life expectancy. Maintenance of the battery of the parameters are in the VAIO Control Center application.
Battery maintenance is disabled by default, but if a user commonly uses the laptop plugged in on current alternative for long periods, the battery will be beneficial to allow maintenance of the battery, not letting the battery charges to 80%. When it is disconnected from the power supply, the battery will not work the system as long with only 80% of costs, but it will save the cycles of load on piles and let the battery perform well for an extended period before the need for replacement.
At your convenience, please check out this video tutorial titled VAIO notebook computer battery troubleshooting directive.

Annoying message: the battery installed on this computer is not genuine lenovo battery
Hi all!
Does anyone know how to pass the message about "battery lenovo not authentic? It will be nice to hide a black with (!) triangle in the status bar as well.
Thank you.
If it doesn't have the typical marks of an original, then it is probably a spare battery. without seeing a picture of your exact battery, it is difficult to say.
Sanyo does not spare batteries, but a replacement battery could use sanyo cells. the issue is less with the cells and more with circuit board used since it is what controls the battery itself. a faulty or badly done battery could cause problems, that's why lenovo recommends against the use of authentic everything except batteries.
the software Lenovo power manager is responsible for the pop-up message that you see. your only option to prevent the message would be to uninstall the power manager. If you do, remember to let the power management driver installed as your system needs this.

Satellite Pro 6100: message "RTC bad battery appears, check CMOS.
When I move my 6100 SP it freezes, and then when it is restarted the message "bad RTC battery is displayed, check CMOS. I also noticed that when the machine hangs the fan operates at high speed and the bottom of the machine and the keyboard gets very hot.
Need your advice.Hello
Did you change or replace the RTC battery?
The error message looks like a death or a bad RTC battery.
You should try to charge the battery (plug the AC adapter / CC)
Try to enter the BIOS setup and check all options. You can set the BIOS default settings.
Check if it helps. If it's not, so I guess there is something wrong with the RTC battery and it should be changed. -
How fix a freezing problem after having changed a bad battery?
My battery was unable to hold a charge, so I ordered a new one. After I replaced it, whenever I'm using my computer, it warms quickly (especially when I open an application) and the power runs about an hour. In addition, the entire system freezes randomly and I need either hold the power button to stop it or to let the power run out. When I reboot it, it shows "a disc should be checked for consistency. I have tried to install updates, removing unused applications and defraging the HDD.
It is a big problem since I use this computer for work and need it to be upward and running smoothly as soon as possible.
Help, please!Hello

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

Can someone tell me what is happening with my computer is 2 bad batteries or what?
Hey ctbookkeeping,
I would say that your laptop is going to need a maintenance. It is a symptom of the failure of the AC/DC converter Board. You can contact technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region please click the link below to get help from your region number.

Bad BIOS installed on the Satellite A200
I had one laptop Satellite A200 and I downloaded and installed an incorrect BIOS. Then I restarted my laptop and it is empty. I researched and downloaded many programs, but I don't have a USB floppy drive. I downloaded phlash16, created an autoexec.bat file and follow all directions I've read on different post of different Web sites.
Can someone please help me to recover my BIOS using the virtual floppy drive to USB and can someone please give a process step by step on how to reflash the BIOS. My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A200. Please give me a BIOS for my laptop.
Please email me [email protected]
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

I'm afraid, you will need to contact the ASP in your country in order to solve this problem of m
Toshiba driver page contains no traditional BIOS updates but only focus on the Win BIOS update, this means that you will not be able to update the BIOS by using a floppy disk because you don t have a traditional BIOS version

Bad battery live on Sat M35X - how to reset the battery meter?
Hello world
I have a few years old Satellite M35X-S149, no problem so far however I have been affected by the life of the very poor battery (like 10 minutes of full load at 0%). I've reconfigured the power options so that she wouldn't do anything even when the battery went to 0% (not set auto standby extended) and it runs for another 45-60 minutes after 0% battery.
So I guess the battery is faulty but not dead, and in my opinion, there is a sort of 'meter' that does not work as assumed, is it possible to reset o calibrate?
Anyone ran into this same problem?
Thank you!
Hello
I can give you a tip how to recalibrate the battery:
1. the battery should be fully charged to 100%
2. then you will need to change the profile of powersaving as follows-> Hibernate & standby off, disable the options that cuts off the machine when you batt. stabilize so that the machine stops when the battery is at 0%
3 let the machine work for how long does the battery last
4. once the machine stops itself when the battery is COMPLETELY empty, let the battery charge (the laptop must be turned off)
5. check if it worked and repeat the operation if the result does not satisfy you
6. in the case of NO success, I would replace the batteryWelcome and good luck
