Thank you

Hello

1. what happens when you start the laptop, you receive no error message?

2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

I suggest to remove the battery and connect the laptop to AC power and then try to start the computer to see if the problem is with the battery.

I suggest you to contact Dell support on the issue, as this can be a hardware problem.

  • C50-A-19 t satellite does not start with the battery mounted

    OK, first post here.

    I see similar questions coming, but as they are never QUITE the same, I am that posing in a new thread.

    I left my Satellite from one day to the next (do not remember if I had put off, or he simply had 'gone to sleep', but it has been connected to the grid).

    When I got to reboot, I got a power light on, but screen blank (black). After reading a few similar complaints on the internet (via another laptop!), I tried to remove the battery and power from the grid.
    This worked well (I write him in this state right now).

    But whenever I put the battery and try again, it will fail in the same way.
    I tried this company "press and hold power for 30 seconds" without success (but I'm not 100% sure of the EXACT procedure actions sequence).

    I have a few questions:

    (1) I take the laptop away from my office - is there a problem with everything just works like this (i.e. of the grid, with no battery inserted) indefinitely?

    (2) in any case, I want to solve the problem.
    If the battery has run COMPLETELY flat, and that the laptop can not it lights but also operate normally?

    Alternatively, is probably that the battery has not experienced a catastrophic failure and simply needs to replace?
    If so, I'll just buy a. BUT...

    What I don't want to do, is to pay for a costly spare battery, to find that it was actually another factor at the origin of the problem, and I'm back to square one and out of Pocket!

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Thank you

    Hello

    According to your assignment, in most cases, you use the laptop connected to the power adapter but no battery. Is this correct?

    First we need to know that if the AC adapter is plugged in, the laptop should work correctly with - and without inserting the battery.
    If you unplug the AC adapter, the laptop should automatically switch to battery power. In this case, it is important that the battery is pretty cool power to provide the power for the laptop.
    In case the battery is empty, the laptop will not light.

    I recommend to insert the battery plug the power adapter and charge the battery for a longer period of time.

    You should also check if the battery is recognized by the Windows system and the battery charge indicator (battery in the taskbar icon) shows the State of battery charge.

    In case the battery is fully charged and the laptop does not work using the battery power only, you should test the new battery.
    If new battery does not solve the problem, s for laptop hardware needs an audit.

    It was one thing to do, but I turned off my PC during the restoration of the system because he took time to complete the process.  The next day I couldn't boot into windows.  I tried the automatic repair feature, but it does not work.  I tried to repair windows using the orignal installation disk, but it does not work.  I tried to install Windows 8 all over again, but I got an error message - media pilot is missing.  I opened the box uninstall the RAM, videocard unplugged and both drives and reinstall, but without success.  I noticed that there is an orange/orange light on the motherboard.  I thought it was the hard drive at the beginning, but now I hope that this is not the motherboard.  Any help will be appreciated.

    How can I solve the problem?

    Thank you

    I guess you are talking about the shutdown procedure force as described in this document:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB3C03JR0000R01.htm

    This problem can appear in case the PC freezes, do not start or has a power failure.

    I think that the laptop turns off in case the battery is completely empty. In this case the system does not close properly.
    As the default state, the system keeps laptop but usually the unit carries out a stop of the hybrid. This procedure allows the laptop to start much more quickly, but it could affect the system startup in case something goes wrong during the process of closing.
    You can disable this hybrid mode and in my opinion, it is also recommended.

    Details:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm

    However, to avoid these problems, it of very important to correctly perform the closing procedure.

  • Satellite L10-104 does not start after the battery totally empty

    After leaving the laptop the weekend without the charger, the battery was totally empty. So I plugged back it it to charge the battery for a day.

    Now, when I press the power button the Green LED at the front lights up for about 3 seconds - nothing else is happening. No HARD disk does appear, no noise from fan coooling, nothing on the screen.

    Does anyone have ideas, what I could do to make it work again?

    Hello

    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the laptop.
    Wait a little (1 hour) and then reconnect the two parts.
    Then try turning on the laptop computer. Maybe it helps

    If this will not help, then a hardware problem might be possible
    In this case the RAM modules must be verified in the first step.

  • Y580 does not start after the battery indicator reset

    Hi fans of Lenovo! 3 months now since I bought a Lenovo y580. A notebook of beast when it comes to games. Recently, I tried to use a preinstalled software from Lenovo to reset my battery indicator because it showed an erroneous accusation. The software did his thing - he charged the battery to 100%, then acquitted at 0 and off my laptop. Now, it does not - turn the button market / stop just makes battery LED flash 3 times and that's it! I tried to disconnect the battery and turn on - but nothing happens. What should I do?

    Remove the battery and plug in the computer if the computer turns on then it might be the battery.

    If this is not the computer may have messed up and bit.

    and to be sure to keep it plugged in for a while.

    It seems that two things must happen... Three if you don't have good backups (it would be the first thing * if * you have not any outside of the machine.)

    (1) the material must be tested.  By restarting and pressing the combination of keys at the right time could test the hard/readers/speed control (CTRL + ALT + D, on a dell computer before starting at startup of Windows.)  For other tests - Dell probably put on a partition or sent a CD with the machine that allows you to perform a battery of tests on the... video, audio equipment, etc.

    (2) a restoration clean install a factory should probably be made * if * hardware testing are in agreement.  You could probably clean the machine by following the steps I'll give you - but knowing no more about the problem that we are so far... If that does not better... it's perception, or something so serious, that a clean install is probably the only real 'next step '.

    (And if the new facility does not solve it and analysis of material found nothing - that's the perception, or something (material) defective which is not be picked up).

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
