Charger only up to 80%

I have a samsung laptop. Recently one of my friends borrowed. She said she changed her settings, but do not remember where or what. Now my laptop only charges that up to 80% and then stops. How or where to undo what she did?

long to load).

In fact, what causes a lot of wear on a battery empties it too low on several occasions. With today
systems overload are not a problem.

Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery issues.

Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
eraser (do not use this, if your battery is fine slots - just clean up the edges of the knife which fit in)
them and be careful). Batteries are old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
Check with the support of the machine system, and many of them have on line forums.

New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload then less than 30%
However on a laptop that not extend their life a lot. Best is to use the a/c adapter
When this is possible.

I use the free version of BatteryBar to monitor my battery. Click on the green button on the

You can also check with the manufacturer of system and forums that many use their own
proprietary software to monitor the battery and they could be known problems with your battery.

  • Satellite U - charges only 45% battery, so how can I fix?

    For the last year, my battery charged very well, about a month ago my battery suddenly charged only at 45%, which means that life is very short.

    Does anyone know why this might be and how I can fix this problem?

    Hello

    Can you also tell us what phone do you have?

    As Akuma written perhaps the battery must be replaced. They can only be recharged about 500 times so I think that you have reached it.

    You can get a new battery to an authorized service provider. On the Toshiba site is a list of people. You can contact the guy and ask for a new.

  • USB - Charge only

    Is it the posibility to have an option when connected the phone to PC / laptop via a USB cable for the option "Charge only" as the HTC phones had?

    Most of us charge our phones at work using the PC / laptop USB ports and while it is the corporate network I feel somewhat uncomfortable on my data are exposed to Admins who have a remote access to computers of the company...

    You could try to buy one of these USB cables with magnetic connector that fits on the two power pins exposed on the left side of the body of the Z3.   Simply plug the USB connector into a USB port available on your laptop or use USB charger provided with your phone.  I like this approach to charging because it eliminates having to open the cover to access the mini USB port on the phone.

    I hope you find this useful suggestion.

  • Satellite Pro U400-11V - charges only battery when the computer is turned off

    Following a reformatting my hard drive of the computer, my laptop recognizes only the AC/DC power adapter when it is turned off. When the computer is turned on, it does not recognize the AC adapter.

    Changed the power supply ac and it made no difference.

    Have also tried an update of the BIOS (3.0), I am running Windows Vista 32 bit.

    Hello

    I doubt it has something to do with the software or the operating system. In my opinion, that this looks like a hardware problem, because the battery will be always charged if AC/DC adapter is plugged in. That's why it of not necessary to enable this setting in the configuration of the software.

    If your BIOS is already updated, contact an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and maybe the motherboard needs to be replaced.

  • Can we use Satellite A200 - 1 GB DC charger only?

    Hello

    Any body can help me?

    I want to know if I can run my laptop A200-1 GB by continuous tension given by charger always.
    I mean he must unplug the charger once the battery is completely charged with leaving plugged?

    In my user manual, it is not mentioned. But when I download a manual of Toshiba web, it is said disconnect after full load. Other wise battery gets spoiled.

    Cannot therefore t we use portable using DC even completely?
    Which will reduce my battery life?
    Can any body give an idea?

    Hello

    Last days I followed your job offers and looks like you manage your A200 with care. It is very good. I'm really surprised that you read the user manuals document s because a lot of people post about things described in manuals.

    Back to your question: of course, you can use your laptop connected to the power supply current only. All desktop computers or laptops placed in offices are connected to the permanent power supply and person, but really nobody, switch the power ON or OFF.

    Of course, it is good and useful if you can work from time to time on battery only, but battery technology is today all right, you don't need to do.

    Believe me, I have older computer Tecra laptop at the office and it works on mains only almost 5 years and I still have the original battery.

    Please don't worry about the battery. If you work with your laptop at home or in the office and you need also for certain complex operations it is best used with AC power, and also with the PERFORMANCE profile in power management. In this case, you will be able to use the whole performance of the CPU.

    Bye and good luck!

  • HP Envy - battery - charge only to 50% (brand new!)

    • Model: m6-1225dx
    • SKU: 7703056
    • HP - ENVY 15.6 "laptop
    • Windows 8

    Hello! I hope someone can provide some guidance. I have seen a lot of useful information on these cards, especially on this issue, but I think mine is a bit tricky...

    I bought a new HP Envy Monday (today is Wednesday) and I noticed that the battery is charged at 50% (the battery icon, when you go over it, says 50% load)

    I found this curious, because I got the battery plugged for more than 8 hours.

    I made sure the strings have been correctly connected, removed and added to the battery, etc.. I found some additional information and checked the battery HP using HP Support system, and he says that the battery must be replaced. This test is accurate? I have to really replace a battery for a laptop brand new?

    Should I try another test before asking for a new battery? Thank you in advance for your help!

    -M.T.

    Hello

    It certainly seems that the machine comes with a defective battery, so my best advice would be to return the laptop (not only the battery) to the retailer you bought it and get a replacement.

  • Charger only at 50%, android system using power of crazy like a fool

    Hello world

    I've had my Droid for about a month, and it's been great.  Two days ago, I went to bed and plugged in my phone as usual.  Woke up and found it was 'charge', but only 50% (this is after be plugged for about six hours).  Thought that was weird, but thought it must have been a fluke/bad connection.  Went to work, and he died quickly.  Same thing happened last night (woke up with her, saying he was 'charge' but battery only at 50%), just before he died this morning (after two hours to be disconnected) I checked the distribution of power usage in system properties.  It turns out that the android system used ~ 70 power takes my phone 50% of deaths in two hours.  I used ATK to check that there are no odd programs that run, but if this were the case I guess that there are different under the graph of power system use.

    Only other issue I noticed is that the battery is almost hot recently, but not to the point of causing me a real concern.  I thought at first it is a battery fault, but after seeing the use of the android system that makes me wonder is that something else is happening.  GPS/wi-fi are both disabled, and today that I had not yet placed no matter which phone calls - was idling just in my pocket.  Thanks for your help.

    PS, I used only the charger supplied with the phone and charged off a regular surge protector.

    This icon you are talking about is the sync icon and it isn't always there so I'm sure that's what runs on your battery so fast.  No reason it should not charge 100% even with it, but stop sync your battery.  This icon must appear once a day for a few minutes at the most!  I have turned on automatic synchronization, and when I was in an area with spotty 3G, he stayed there for about an hour and my battery was wearing down more than anything else.  A short term work is to put the widget on your home screen power control (press and hold an empty space on the home screen, select widgets, select the power control), you need 4 spaces of icon in a row for that but you will see the icon synchronize one and you can click it to turn it off. I would try and see if your problems are solved.  If so, we have isolated the problem.  As long as you found good 3g service then, I would look next to all third party apps that would be playing with the synchronization process.  When you remove the battery/power down and the phone, the icon synchronize just appear immediately and stay there?

    Hello

    To me, it looks like either a power supply electronic malfunction on the motherboard or battery failure.
    Both are possible, but I n t think you will be able to know the malfunction yourself without any extra help.
    Therefore, I recommend the Toshiba service partner in your country requesting an audit of the laptop.

    You know, guys are experts and know exactly what needs to be checked.

  • Over Pro 8600 black line vertically when printing from charger only

    One year old Officejet Pro 8600 Plus on iMac running OSX Maverick works very well.  For the last week, all the copies show clean, black, original vertical when line is loaded from the top of the charger page. This line does not appear when they are copied from the glass.  The line stops about 1/8 "from top and bottom of the copy.  It is exactly 6 "between the left edge of the copy, 2-1/2" from the right edge.  I had a paper jam tray - but months before this line started to show.  Nothing else recently that I'm aware of that could be the cause.

    How can I get rid of him?  Thanks for your suggestions.

    Hello again Boxcarjim,

    I see that we still have a problem with the veins.  If you have tried all the troubleshooting steps on the document I have provided and you have cleaned the paper rolls, the next course of action would be to contact HP Total care.

  • Large screen rear-PSI project charge only in form

    Dear Dina,

    I had taken the implementation on design approved cost budget and revenue approved through Web pages... The budget values are non-reflecting screen PSI?

    how he's enduser budgets create? So happy that oracle introduced Web pages and other side she has unigue PSI it have 1 side is totally frustrated. Preparation of the budget form based does not support too the microsoft integration? !!!

    What is the solution for this?

    Hello

    Financial plans entered in web pages are only displayed using html pages. You can report it by using the page project performance, which is similar to the PSI view reports.

    If you need maintain budgets different types, you might have part of them on the web and other forms.

    If you need to see the amounts of financial plan in PSI, you might consider customizing the system, when the financial plan is referenced, call you the API to copy yhe amounts in the budget lines related to the structure of forms

  • BofA charge only mode WINDOWS safe - once in normal mode after that

    FF 36.0.4 B of A does not - just clocks. WINDOWS (7) starting in safe mode, it works just fine all right. In fact, return to normal WINDOWS, it will work 1 time. After nada as it just of clocks. Eventually it will show the error code: ssl_error_inappropriate_fallback_alert. Empty cache, restarting, nothing works. Any ideas?

    Thanks again for the reply - aid in this community is still pending. I solved the problem and it's weird. I went back with msconfig to get Bitdefender in the boot sequence and somehow, there was another instance of Bitdefender pointing to the same registry key - they were two identical execution orders. I'm at a loss as to how two arrived in the Startup tab. In any case, I just activated an and everything came back to life. Weird. Thanks again and this explains why other browsers were not able to connect either.
