< battery 1.5 h on Y480

Okay, I'm not sure what Im doing wrong, but even with the lenovo power setting turned down and keyboard turns off and low screen, I'm still lucky to squeeze in an hour and a half of my battery.

IM starting to feel like somethings wrong with my laptop battery / or the battery life has been greatly exaggerated. I got the laptop in May and even then had the chance to get 2 hours. Any one out there ideas?

More details on the Normally use web browsing, some play back and Autocad youtube much. But on the battery I use integrated graphics to help here. If this is not corrected Im going to have to go with a different solution. I really need the battery 3 + hour this laptop promised.

Hi Prc,

Please try first to reset the circuit of the battery...

  • Guide: replace the HDD with SSD, Lenovo Y480

    Lenovo
    That's how I replaced my HDD with a SSD in my Lenovo Y480. I did it immediately, so there is no user file to consider. I used a key from Lenovo recovery. Read this guide in its entirety before starting.

    Execution time: about an hour.

    Items, you will need:

    -Y480 Lenovo

    -New SSD (I chose a Mushkin Chronos Deluxe because my research lead me to conclude that it is the best available from June 2012)

    -Small Phillips screwdriver

    -Butter knife or similar to remove the HARD drive. There is not much space for your fingers in there.

    -DVD-r blank

    Step 1

    Turn on the computer.

    Step 2

    Write the number '1' on a blank DVD-R and insert into the optical drive.

    Step 3

    Press the small button just to the right of the power button. This launches a recovery key.

    Step 4

    Follow the instructions on the screen to make restore disks. I chose the factory restore option, which required three DVD - Rs. label each disc with numbers to let you know in what order to use them later. Once it is finished, place back #1 DVD into the optical drive.

    Step 5

    Physically remove the hard drive and insert the SSD drive by following the instructions below.

    1. turn off and unplug your computer, flip upside down.
    2. remove the battery.
    3. remove the access panel by removing the two screws and slide.
    4. remove the two screws that hold the hard drive carrier.
    5 remove the hard drive by lifting upward. There is a right angle SATA adapter plugged into the hard drive. This card just came out with the hard drive.
    6 disconnect the hard drive adapter and plug it on the SSD.
    7 unscrew the hard drive bracket and screw it on the SSD.
    8 put the SSD drive in the Bay, screw the support down and replace the access panel. Be sure to screw it up.
    9. replace the battery, lock.

    Step 6

    If you did not already the first recovery DVD in the optical drive, use a paper clip to open the optical drive and insert the diskette. Close the drawer, then turn on the computer to start the restoration.

    Step 7

    Select the boot drive by pressing F12 when you see the Lenovo logo during startup, and then select the optical/DVD drive in the list.

    Step 8

    Follow the instructions on the screen. The first time that I did, restoration impossible immediately, probably because of a missing partition. However, after restarting the computer by performing a battery pull, then continue to step 6 restore completed successfully.

    I have not compared this drive, but I can tell you that the Windows experience index is 7.9 and startup time is 24 seconds now. The base index is 6.8 for this system now.

    You will find that Windows has already helped TRIM. However, regular defragmentattion was still on. I think that the system restore has been disabled automatically.

    Good luck

    Matt

    I saw no option for this, and I was quite surprised, that he didn't do it automatically. I'm not an expert on everything, so what follows is a guess.

    Perhaps that if you create a partition on the SSD first, recovery will recognize and use it.

  • Battery, specifically in the night with ios10

    It happens to me all the time, when the night comes and I don my body with this sweet sleep, it's rough on my iPhone.  Really difficult.  I'll just go on my what happened to my phone last night...

    I went to bed around 01:30, my phone was 93%.  Here is a list of things that together did us before going to bed.

    -Set airplane mode because I get horrible service where I live, and I learned that that saves my battery

    -Closed all my apps

    -Night market

    These are normal things I do every night.  Do not forget that I have the app off background refresh and I have like 3 or 4 things in my widgets.  When I woke up just 6 hours and a half later, my phone had fallen to 59 percent.  Normally when I wake up and work all day and use the phone more (not much, I'm not a heavy user), I have no problem.  It's nighttime in general just when I have these problems.

    I had an iPhone before iOS 10 and 6, I had no problem with my other phone that my * service area, but I use call in wifi and FaceTime to correct this, if my phone is usually at home airplane mode.  Got a new iPhone 7 and who seemed to have no problems for 2 days, but now I'm back for the battery drain of night time making my iPhone 6.

    I doubt that is it because I don't see the problem often, but I think that my router is wrong and sometimes I lose the connection, but when the phone is in standby mode and I don't use it I doubt it would be the problem.  When I go to my use of the battery and check what is using what it says Facebook is 23%, and home and lock screen is only at 2% when it is clearly more 30% has been used yesterday evening.

    Any help would be appreciated, I'm fretting here!

  • The use of the battery has increased since the update to ios 10. Also, why can not disable the voice command. It's the most boring on the new update.

    The use of the battery has increased since the update to ios 10. Also, why can not disable the voice command. It's the most boring on the new update.

    Depending on what you mean by "voice command", either:

    Settings / general / accessibility / VoiceOver / OFF, or

    Settings / Siri / OFF

    As for your use of the battery, you can check what app pulls most of its use in the settings / battery.  A new version of the app is sometimes problematic, not necessarily iOS or iPhone.  If you see a unusual % of use of a particular application, or force-to leave it removal/reinstalling it or remove it until an update comes.  If anything seems unusual, it might be a problematic installation of iOS, in which case, you could backup your iPhone and restore it:

  • iOS 10 battery drain

    Does anyone else have trouble with the life of the battery with iOS 10?

    I have a 5 c and I charge my iphone once per day if that.  Now its hollow when I get up morning so I charge it at work and also I have to recharge at night.

    I need this so because its not good for the trip. I'm going to Germany to visit family if I go in Brussels, I know that the airport has charging stations.  God forbid if I go to the United States to visit his family.

    Bluetooth is disabled. WiFi is on.

    is there something I can do? Any advice will be welcome.

    Thanks - danke schön

    First, plug in your iPhone, let the screen off and do nothing for a long period of time. Leave it plugged in all night while you sleep is perfect for that.

    Then, restart your iPhone by pressing and maintaining the sleep/wake and home buttons.

  • iPhone battery percentage 6 stuck

    Hello, I have an iphone 6 purchased from Apple about the release two years ago, never had any problems until this Friday, 10 March 16 when I noticed my battery percentage was is no longer draining after moderate use. He would stay at 100 percent every day and then turns off randomly. I have iOS 10.0.2, have tried to reset, power on/off, restore factory... nothing works! Is someone able to please shed some light on why this might be the case? Google tells me that there was a similar problem earlier this year when those who have no zone defined as auto has encountered a similar problem with the battery percentage being stuck and not up-to-date (i.e. no reflective battery drains with use). I went to settings and noticed that my time zone was not set as automatic. Does anyone else have this same problem and what is the reference for this?

    I'm surprised that factory reset did not fix this problem... help...

  • iOS 10 effect on the life of the battery for the iPhone 6 s

    I bought a 6 s iPhone 64GB one month before the release of iOS 10. I noticed a huge difference in the life of battery since the upgrade to iOS 10 and iPhone is to have the latest version (iOS 10.0.2). I have disabled some features, I found online as lift to wake and reduced the flow for the life of the reserve battery but still not satisfied with the result. Can someone please guide me what can I do? or if it can be reviewed and fixed in the next software update?

    I had this problem too. I went into settings > battery and checked my battery usage and fixed applications with a background activity that was it drains. But it's still pretty dark. I had to leave my phone mode low power just to prevent it from falling down for like 60% after only being on 3 hours.
