Charge batteries 0%.

Whenever I try to use my laptop away from a power source, it is quite dead. When I check my battery level, it says "0% - load." I use my laptop on AC all day and the battery level indicates "supported", but it always remains at 0%. Any ideas?

I use a Sony VAIO with Windows XP.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

You can get the battery checked as to his condition.

But as you use XP and if it's the original battery, I would say that it is past its date of use.

Batteries wear out.

And for the reliability and the warranty on the battery, buy a new one from Sony.

See you soon

  • Tecra 550 cdt - charging battery.

    Hello
    How can I tell if my laptop is in charge batteries - battery is a dud - and the battery life is very good, but the laptop will not charge the battery?
    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t know if I understand you right but it looks like that your laptop is unable to charge the battery. Am I wrong?
    Well, first of all, you must check if your adapter is ok and if the laptop works with the main power supply.
    If it s clear then you can try to check the connection of the battery PIN. Remove the battery for a while and once again put it several time.
    Then check if the battery may charge.
    If not, if it is possible that the battery is dead. In this case, you should check if the new battery will solve your problem.
    It is also possible that there is something wrong with the loading of electronic drums. In this case I recommend to contact Toshiba service partner in your country. Guys should check the laptop.

    By the way; You can buy the battery compatible also with the service partner.

  • Satellite M70 - battery can not be charged more than

    Hello!

    I have a M70, who is 14 months old and I have a problem with it: the battery cannot be charged more! The computer and battery are in good shape, and 2 days ago the battery works great (it's an original 4000 Mah battery and he had a life between 2 and 3 hours). Now, the computer does not start unless it is plugged in and it shows the battery constantly charged 1%. The laptop does not suffer any physical damage.

    What's weird, is that when I plug in the power supply, the battery seems to be load - the load led is on between 5 to 10 seconds, and then it turns off!
    When it is plugged in, the laptop works very well.

    The questions are:

    (1) may be a software problem, or maybe a virus?
    (2) how will I know if the battery is damaged or the problem is with the laptop and it cannot charge batteries more.
    The warranty has expired and the company where I bought it refused to have a peek.

    Thank you
    Eugen

    > can it be a software problem, or maybe a virus?
    No, I Don t think so!

    > How can I tell if the battery is damaged or the problem is with the laptop and it cannot charge batteries more?

    It is not possible for the common user who doesn t have experience and special tools.
    I think you will need to contact the ASP in your country for a control.

    You will pay for it because the warranty has expired and I really put t see other possibilities.

  • Satellite M70 do not charge the battery

    My satellite M71 do not charge the battery, not only when works now, but also when power is off. Do not charge batteries supplied with the adapter plugged.

    Hello

    I agree with the user above.
    This really looks like a malfunction of the battery. I put t know how old laptop is but generally cover the battery for about 1 year.

    You know that, after the words of 500 of loading and unloading procedures battery automatically loses performance and battery life battery decreases.
    It s nothing unusual.

    But if the battery is new, you must contact the ASP (partner) in your country.

  • Satellite L500 19 X battery discharge when not in service

    My new and practically unsused portable is its battery at the rate of 10% in 48 hours when it is turned off and not in hibernation mode. To remove the battery is losing 2% within 48 hours.

    I fully charged the battery to 100% and closed while still in charge.

    There is no doubt in my mind that the battery is discharging when mounted and only lose a small amount of charge when removed from the laptop.

    All users have the same problem. The result is that, in a week, the battery will discharge some 35%, what I find unacceptable.

    Hello

    I think that's not bad boyfriend
    The battery will always be s discharge a little even if the laptop is not running.

    Take a look in the user manual.
    I did and found this:

    When you turn off your computer with fully charged batteries, the batteries keep following approximate data periods;

    Battery pack 12; 2 days ("sleep mode"); 20 days (shutdown mode)
    Battery pack 6. 1 day ("sleep mode"); 10 days (off mode)
    Battery pack 3. 0.5 days ("sleep mode"); 5 days (off mode)

    Always check the software suite / settings of the bios in order to decrease the discharge of the battery:
    -sleep / recovery mode hibernation etc. will reduce the time that the battery is drained considerably
    -always check the weather Wake-On-Lan or Wake on HDMI is enabled
    -always check the weather USB sleep & charge is activated

    If the laptop is 6 months old the warranty is still valid. Contact service partner in your country. They will test adapter and if defective you will get a new. Do not buy anything.

  • Speedlite 580EX II E - TTL mode problem

    Hello

    My speedlite has recently started to produce photos that are underexposed in E - TTL mode. Compared to the previous pictures, the difference is of about 2/3 - 1 full stop.

    I have done a number of tests using my EOS 40 d and an EF 24-105 f4/L IS USM lens.

    I used the fully charged batteries in the camera and speedlite (two alkaline batteries or NiMH in flash). I checked the exposure compensation and flash exposure compensation settings as well as all other parameters of the menu camera and custom in the speedlite and camera functions. Everything is in order and there is no conflict between the camera and the speedlite.

    I shoot in RAW and as a test, I took a number of pictures in the manual, Tv and Av modes, both without flash and using the flash on the camera. All were well exposed (with no exposure or flash exposure compensation).

    I tried recycling the speedlite to full power several times - time 5 seconds. Thus, it seems that the batteries were working well.

    I then carried out a number of tests in the manual, Av and Tv modes at various shutter opening and ISO settings to compare flash shipped with the speedlite E - TTL mode performance. Each of the photos taken with the built-in flash has been well exposed with a good histogram. Each comparison with the speedlite photo is underexposed, with a bad histogram and reduced file size. With some tests, it was necessary to set the exposure compensation to + 2/3 to + 1 stop flash to achieve results globally comparable to the onboard flash.

    However, this workaround solution produce satisfactory results for the subject distances over 20 feet, even at high ISO and long shutter speeds. The output of the speeedlite was much too low. These tests were done inside.

    Then, I made tests with the speedlite in manual mode with all of the production in full. A range of shutter speeds, apertures and ISO settings photos were completely blown out. The same result was obtained with the speedlite in sync and manual high speed selected if the shutter speed is equal to or less than 1/250 second (max height available for the on-board flash shutter speed).

    As a solution, I put the manual speedlite with sync high speed and set faster than 1/250 second shutter speeds and

    tried the exhibitions at different distances from the object. In General, the sync high-speed kicks. I have not yet checked performance to subject more than 30 feet, but a comprehensive exhibition was obtained in all tests to date, (mostly better with flash exposure compensation of-1/3). However, according to the ambient light auto focus was sometimes impossible.

    These tests, it seems that the device works well, the speedlite is capable of generating a full release and in manual/high-sync mode, it will produce a correct exposure with high shutter settings.

    While the two workaround solutions - E - TTL mode with timing of compensation and flash exposure manual/high speed - work, some experiments are required and both have their drawbacks. There are moments where I would like to make with the speedlite in manual, but for the most part, I was pleased with the results in E - TTL mode and I want to be able to restore my speedlite complete state.

    I wonder if anyone can shed light on fault (sensor/transistor?) and repair.

    I'm sorry to have provided a lot of details, but I wanted to avoid unnecessary questions or solutions that I've tried. Any assistance from members who are aware of this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    It is not a fault. It seems that if the flash does not work correctly.

    You realize, not you, the ETTL flash works differently in mode to manual exposure, it does in the automatic exposure modes?

    When you have the ETTL flash game and the camera to Tv or Av or P, the camera will expose by ambient light as if the flash is not there, and the flash is treated as a FILL light. The flash output is reduced by something like 1.5 or 1.7 stops full power, unless you overrided with + or - Flash Exposure Compensation.

    When you have the flash in ETTL and Manual, the flash is FULL and processed by the camera, as if it were the only light source. The ambient light is ignored (but according to the selected parameters can still be a factor in your images). Once more, you can substitute with FEC, if you wish.

    If I read your description, you see the difference between manual/FULL flash and AE/TTL. As long as you keep in mind these, you can configure the camera and flash in ETTL mode easily to many different situations.

    You will notice that the flash often recycle much faster when it acts as a FILLER, because it is drawn to the decline in production. I often use the fill outdoors during the day and can get two or three 'pop' quick lightning before it slows down for recycling.

    If you want the 580EX II to recycle faster, use of quality instead of alkaline batteries rechargeable batteries. For faster recycling, a CP - E4 battery pack is a nice addition. He added 8 AA plus size batteries that flash can appeal.

    I never use the built-in flashes, so I don't really know how they compare.

  • Migration E Xperia Xperia compact Z5 - Xperia transfer Mobile & PC companion does not

    I bought a compact smartphone Z5 because they had already a series Xperia E. I wanted to migrate easily and instead, I have problems and application of local data transfer.

    1. I can't use the PC because the PC Companion requires at least Windows 7, so that my editing PC operating system Windows XP.

    2. I bought the micro USB sony original EC310 adapter cable to use the transfer Xperia Mobile application but does not.

    Check step 4 on both smartphones but then nothing happens. The Z5 recognizes the USB connection.

    On Xperia E usb port's on MTP and so on compact Z5. The bluetooth connection is active and receive all the permissions requested by the display.
    Xperia E is the model C1505 with Android 4.1.1 build 11.3.A.2.33.
    Compact Xperia Z5 Monte 6.0 Android

    I tried to disable and re-enable debugging.
    The operation is always performed with charged batteries.
    The cables used are all original Sony.

    How can I solve the problem? I can't use the new phone if you do not complete the migration because the phone has to be in order.

    I did some research and unfortunately Xperia E is not supported by Xperia transfer for several reasons,

    -It doesn't support USB host so an OTG adapter will not work

    -It does not direct WiFi support so a wireless transfer is not possible

    -It is not guaranteed to work with the Xperia Xperia companion transfer function

    I would say that the best idea here is to back up as much data as possible on an SD card and simply insert the SD card into your new phone. There might be some third-party solutions as well but I have no reference for I'm afraid.

    I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience.

    Problem Windows 7 (clean install)

    I am affected by a mouse cursor freeze for a few seconds on a regular basis, usually opening videos / sometimes files, it does not happen to xp on my parents to the pc spec below when opening programs, the program itself may take time to load, but the mouse can still be moved. This freezing of the cursor is boring.

    3 GHz Dual Core Intel 1333 MHz FSB, 6MB L2

    Windows experience score of 5.9 but processor gets 6.7, 6.9 RAM.
    So not a slow system.

    What is the cause? Graphics card? Connection of the mouse? Mouse driver? RAM problem? Win7? Win a media player?

    I'm assuming that all the drivers are up to date coz recently, I've downloaded and installed Win7. Who came up with the drivers for the GT9800GT and the mouse, it is that Microsoft should therefore have the right driver, ne?

    I just bought this receiver wireless xbox 360 to pc and after the installation of ridicule, I found that there was only a range of 5 inches! To trouble shoot this problem I disabled all my other 2.4 ghz points just to see if there was any terrestrial interference but still the remains of 5-inch range. Then, I tried different controllers and they still only worked literally right next to the receiver. It is a common problem with these things, and is there a way to fix it?

    1. the controllers work properly remotely?

    2. What are the installation problems are you facing the computer?

    When you plug in the receiver, it should automatically install and start working on Windows 7.

    Try the fresh or fully charged batteries in controllers.
