Brand new Windows 7 system: battery plugged in, not supported

I just got a brand new Acer Aspire 5542-1462 with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I have almost exclusively while plugged operated. Battery in the notification area icon indicates that the battery is at "97% (plugged in, does not support)." How can I get the battery charge? Is there a threshold above which it does not load? Some features of the system if they will help you:

AMD Athlon II X 2 M300 2.0 GHz
4 GB OF RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics card
battery Li-ion 6 cells

My power profile is balanced with the only change so that everything always remains that plugged while. This is my first Windows 7 machine after years with XP, so I am new to the operating system. I searched around the internet and here and can't find anything.

Hey,.

This is how it works:

1. When you turn on your laptop, if your battery is more than 95%. you will get the message "connected but no charging current.

2. When you turn on your laptop, if your battery is less than 95%, you will see the message "blocked and charge" until the battery reaches 100% (not 95%). That is why sometimes, even if you see that your battery is at 97% and load, this means before starting your laptop, the battery was less than 95% and reached 97% since then.

Apart from the above explanation it seems some problems with the mentioned error. So, try the following steps as well.

1. click on Start and type device in the search for field, and then select Device Manager .
2 expand the category of batteries .
3. under the batteries category, right-click in the list of Microsoft ACPI compatible with battery control method and choose Uninstall .
WARNING : do not remove the Microsoft AC adapter driver or any other compatible ACPI driver.
4. on the taskbar of the Device Manager, click on Search the hardware changes .
You can also select Action > search the hardware changes .

Give that a try!

    Hello

    I bought a refurb L750 of Curry / PCWorld back in October 2012.

    "17% available (sector, no charge)."

    and battry light flashes 4 times with orange after a second. It's the bug or any hardware problem, because the bettery can be just 2 months old.

    Thanks and appreciated in Advace.

    I had the same problem with my dell inspiron 5010. The problem is probably with the connector at the back of the laptop. There are 3 types of connectors, + 19.5V, grounded and printing.

    I solved it by bending the pins outward leaving the centering pin (sense) free.

  • I want to upgrade to a newer Windows operating system Windows Vista Home Pro 64-bit. What is the recommended procedure?

    * Original title: upgrade

    I want to upgrade to a newer Windows operating system Windows Vista Home Pro 64-bit. What is the recommended procedure? I see that Windows 7 or 8, a free update to Windows 10 is offered. Should I buy 7 or 8 then you spend 10 or just buy 10?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

    There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

    Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

    Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    Follow these steps before buy you and upgrade (new installation) of Windows 8.1.

    Microsoft sells more than 8/8.1.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.

    If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.

    There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:

  • the system recovery media does not support this computer

    I have a HP G7-1365DX and the hard drive (750 GB) is a failure.  I did a recovery file on a USB key from the recovery partition and then replaced the hard drive with a 120 GB SSD.  When I tried to reinstall the USB system, I get the message "the system recovery media does not support this computer."  Is it because the hard drive was replaced by a SSD?  How to restore the system if the recovery disk does not work?

    Hello

    You are right about the source of this problem - HP recovery media often has problems of restoring the operating system on a smaller disk in quality than appeared on.

    There are a few options available.

    1. if the 750 GB drive is still able to operate, use your recovery media to perform a factory reset and then use software (or Windows 7 own imaging utility) for this clone of your SSD.

    2 create your own recovery media to use to run the installation - it would be my personal preference.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • System recovery disks do not support this computer

    Two weeks ago, crashed my HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480 t hard drive model.  It is a 1.5 TB came with the PC.  I bought a WD 1 TB hard drive and installed.  When I used my recovery discs, I received a message, "the system recovery disks do not support this computer.  You are not able to restore this system with these discs. "Because I had never used these recovery discs, I assumed I had their damn so I bought authentic system recovery disks from HP.  Yesterday them - even received training as before.  I called HP tech support and I was told that those recovery disk works with a hard drive that is identical with the original hard drive.  Located between the two hard drives that the original HD had a 3 GB/s, and the new is 6 Gbps.  Is this correct?  They "graciously" offered replacing my new hard drive with a hard drive that works for only $180.  Seems a little steep, but I am confused.  Is system of technical recovery disks?  I would like another opinion.  If buying a new motherboard out me of this?  If someone knows a resolution to my situation, I would be very grateful.  Help!

    Hello

    In fact, you have more options that will avoid spending more in $$. The first thing I would try is the utility that provides HP. It is used for when the set of recovery disks does not work with a new hard drive. Follow the instructions of this web document.

    View your results. If the results are negative, we can install the operating system on your new hard drive with another method.
