Dv4-1281us and Ubuntu 10.10 battery problem

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my DV4-1281us and he does very well with one exception. When I shut down the computer completely, my battery is always fulfilling at a rapid pace, as if there still can be sent to radio or other ports. I have a failry 12 stack new and it drains as much as %20 from one day to the next. He has never had this problem with Vista. Any input?

I'm tired of trying to understand so last night I've ignored it and installed Linux Mint Debian Edition. So far, it works better that Ubuntu has ever made. Tonight, I'll know how the battery behaves. I hope that solves the problem.

  • Battery problems and speaker

    I have two concerns with my Toshiba NB200 netbook / 00 Q.

    1. the battery

    I always on the use of all the power connected to the AC. When I finished I turn off my computer and when I'm sure it's out I have unplug the AC plug and put away the computer. When I restart the computer I first connect the AC plug and then turn the computer back on, but the battery is always red and "load". Is this a bad battery? Why is it loads if its only source was AC? Specifically, I make sure I have press 'closed' and not hibernate or stand-by.

    2. speakers

    Does anyone else have this problem where, without a helmet, speakers tend to seem stronger on the right and it is very difficult to hear whatever it is on the left. I checked the realtek and volume settings, but the speakers are "centered". any help is appreciated.

    1. it will be certainly charging because he will have lost a few percentage points of full load (at least) depending on how long it has been turned off. If you have some things turned on in the BIOS as the sleep and Charge, then he will lose even more power.

    If you very well use only on AC so you should disconnect the battery completely and only connect the battery up to keep that it loaded somewhere between 40% and 60% of full load. This will prolong the life of your battery.

    I would first determine how much battery is being sold out in 24 hours when it is off, and then we can see if there is anything that can be done to reduce this amount.

  • Help! installed new motherboard Pavilion HP G6 laptop and now having battery problems

    I have a G6 pavilion with a new motherboard that works very well until I have unplug and he turned off the light on the battery or the power led on the right side next to the power connector remains solid when powerd completely out of what may cause this problem? The battery is also not appearing not but fresh. If someone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated thanks.

    I understand the motherboard was replaced, and now there is a battery problem.

    You have already bought a new battery, which seems to exclude from the battery as the source of the problem.

    Was it a real or a third party battery?

    What was the initial question that lead to the replacement of the motherboard?

    The replacement motherboard came with a guarantee?  To be honest, it sounds like a problem with the motherboard because it was not present before the change of motherboard.

  • Battery problem (CPU a bottleneck) with BIOS and Intel SpeedStep technology.

    The question is this:

    1. If the AC adapter and the battery are both connected on the X201T, the speed of the CPU (base clock) is capable of running at the maximum speed of 2.13 GHz as indicated by the specifications of the system.
    2. If only the battery is connected, the speed of the CPU is still able to run at maximum speed of 2.13 GHz as indicated by the specifications of the system.
    3. If only the AC adapter is plugged in, the speed of the CPU is now 'limited' and can run only at 1.2 GHz.
    4 in addition, I also ran Windows Experience Index assessment (built-in to Windows 7) and received a score of 6.3 with the battery or the AC adapter is plugged in, but only a score of 4.2 with only the AC adapter.
    5. the system is significantly slower and cursor shifts are more noticeable when the battery is disconnected.

    Control Panel:
    A.the system has been set at maximum Performance with all the power saving settings turned off. The system has been fully updated for the latest updates and possible drivers from 12/03/10 at the time of the breathalyzer test.  No other software is installed that came with the ThinkPad when I received it.
    B. with the connection and disconnection of the battery, the system has been individually disabled every time and restarted.
    C. I ran full system Test and system through Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox stress Test and received no errors to ensure that the question was not due to system errors.
    D. I used CPU - Z 1.56 v to monitor the speed of the CPU, all running Intel BurnTest v2.50 to insist on the system.
    E. the problem is reproducible and probably a system wide problem/bug, because I tested it on two my X201T (I know it's weird, but I have two of these amazing machines).

    Update:

    After further testing, I've isolated the problem of "Bottleneck the CPU processor without battery" occurs only when the technology Intel SpeedStep in BIOS is enabled. Only when the SpeedStep technology option is cleared "completely", this problem will not occur. However, if the SpeedStep technology is enabled, even when the AC is set on maximum Performance, the CPU processor speed is limited when the battery is disconnected with the tablet running only on the AC adapter. This seems to be a bug in the BIOS.

    If someone can communicate this problem Lenovo Engineering Department so that they can arrive at a solution, that would be great and very helpful. So I can work on my system without always having the battery plugged.

    There are 2 solutions for that.

    You spend more money for a 90W power adapter (which I did), then you can disconnect the battery and it will run at full speed.

    Or, you go into the BIOS and turn off IntelSpeedStep.

    Unfortunately, without the battery, when only using the 65W adapter, your speed will be throttled (I think it's a mistake on the end of Lenovo, but they claim it's normal).

  • Compaq Presario S4500UK won't start after disconnecting from the wall outlet. What is a CMOS battery problem?

    Reconstruction of recent software with HARD drive internal extra (March 2011) under Windows XP/Linux dual-boot installation worked fine.  CD/DVD RW drive, started giving errors so replaced cyclic redundancy check drive a week ago.  All still OK.  Change of electricity supplied and increases energy use conciousness off the machine to the outlet of the overnight after normal shut down.  Machine will not re-start not in the morning.  Not load BIOS; all lights came briefly and then die after 3-4 seconds with power still led on.  You can get a similar effect by plugging the keyboard into the PS2 Mouse Jack I did once!

    After 20 minutes or so try all kinds of things managed to boot from the CD of Linux.  Shut down/restarted and everything is fine so I don't switch off at the wall.  Also seems to be OK after brief power off for 5-10 seconds but the problem persists with any long disconnection.  It seems that after 10 to 15 minutes from power-on and 2-3 attempts to restart, BIOS comes up and all is well, but he stopped in the middle of a start of Windows or Linux on a couple of occasions.

    Am I right in thinking the problem might be the result of a dead CMOS battery?  The reason that I ask is that the clock seems to keep time OK and there is no apparent problem with the BIOS once it loads.

    Any help/advice would be much appreciated.  New config info below.

    I don't have all the answers so I went forward with replacing the CMOS battery, but that did not help.  The problem is also obvious if I turn it off and leave it for an hour or more before trying to restart even if I do not unplug the wall plug.  It seems to take about 15-20 will start again before it fires.  I would be really grateful for any clues as to what is wrong.

    OK, guys.  I finally solved the problem.

    After you have calculated the power needed for the config curent, I discovered that, using various ways to estimate, he walked between 321W - 383W.  It was pretty weird that the only thing I added was a HARD drive and a memory stick and the wisdom of the other guys on this forum, it's that there is a lot of capacity within the factory installed power of 250W.  Yes and here's the rub: the modern replacement devices usually have upgraded capabilities and use more power.  And so when I replaced the drive CD/DVD RW added a few watts, as the sectoral approach of the floppy drive.  It appears also that the optical USB mouse needs more juice than the good old PS2.

    I just installed a new 450W PSU Powercool and Bingo!  The processor is faster, too.

    Hope that my pain and trauma saves someone else having to suffer the same.

  • iPhone 4 s - battery problem

    Hello

    I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.2 who must break with the battery problem almost entirely.

    I don't know if it's a hardware problem, but I hope that it is a software problem so I will try to do everything as my possible to isolate and software problem.

    I did a reset on iOS, but it does not solve. The next step should involve a DFU reset using iTunes but it will update my iPhone to iOS 9 and as far as I know it will turn my iPhone unusable.

    The other possibility is it back to iOS 6.1.3 but it won't, I must do a restore to iOS 9 which will be a problem.

    Yes, is there something I can do without updating to iOS 9?

    What makes you think this update to iOS 9 will make useless iPhone?

  • Satellite P300-172 battery problems

    Hello.

    Hope you all had a good Christmas and can hopefully help out me.

    I bought a laptop P300-172 awhile back.
    Now, even after the sinking of a large number of power settings, the battery life was poor.

    So I ordered a replacement from ebay (part 3rd battery) the battery is identical to the Toshiba battery in everyway of course the only difference is there was not an a toshiba.

    in any case, when the battery arrived I plugged it and the battery LED came on to show that he was charging, when I booted up my laptop (with vista) windows showed that there was no battery connected, I thought strange. But I did back and let it load, after an hour or two charging orange led started flashing which it never did.

    Still, I booted up vista and windows showed there is no battery connected. I have contcated the seller and assumes that the battery was faulty, as chance would have, he repaid the article and I went back to the normal toshiba battery.

    I had another battery, ordered through work and that is identical in every way, once again, except that it was another 3rd party battery and which does exactly the same thing.

    Can anyone help?

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS (3.9) and have tried many steps as leaving the laptop without the battery for 30 minutes and then insert the battery. update the bios.

    Well that's about all I can think and have read through the forums.

    I appreciate may give any information you guys! Sorry for the long message.

    If I were you I wouldn't assume more battery problems and return the phone to the place of purchase, if you can.

    The problem is out of your control, as you have tried multiple batteries. Just give him place of purchase to watch. Then less grief for you.

    Good luck.

  • TECRA 9100 battery problem

    Similar experiences to mine, please?

    After using no not my Tecra for some time (about 3 months). He was once again the charger for more than 24 hours and I'm now done with the original problem, I had the last time I used the Tecra, several months ago! The problem is, I think, only related to the tent to use it on battery, as follows:

    At the start of the machine of 'cold', after passing the request of 'password' screen, it goes straight to a "small blue screen", which includes the message:

    Hardware malfunction

    Call your provider of support material

    NMI: channel check / IOCHK

    The system stopped *.

    A little more information, I found that I can actually 'blue screen' situation - turn off not having don't no need to remove it battery that I first thought - and if I get the power cable then everything starts up well and seems to work normally. If I then remove the power cable (leaving the laundry to run on battery only) the small blue screen and same message reappears.

    Yet once which seems to indicate a battery problem, I guess?

    Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    Post edited by: Gary S Cooper

    Hello

    Windows may indicate a fundamental error messages only when material occurrence malfunction, so that the elimination of the errors can be difficult for equipment problems. Most of the problems of material step in connection with the motherboard, the main memory on a motherboard or adapter or the stamp on a motherboard or adapter.

    On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. I don't know how old is the unit, but if the unit is still under warranty I advice you contact service partner chartered. I'm sure they can find what may be the cause of this problem.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A120 battery problem

    Hi all

    I have a portable Satellite Pro A120 and is a battery problem a month ago.
    The battery is not new, but recently changed, 6 months ago.
    Until a few weeks ago, it lasted about 2 hours when full load, until this time
    suddenly dropped 30-40 minutes.
    In addition, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's a few extra vibrations,
    for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
    In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

    I initially though that there was a problem with the battery or the battery contacts, but they seem ok.
    I tried to unload it in my laboratory of the company with a power resistance: resistance absorbed 1A continuously for more than 3 hours. As the specification 4400mAh battery, I would say that the battery is ok.

    Is it possible that I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
    The battery stress test above seems to show that the charging process is ok. So the problem might be with
    the provision of monitor or battery power.
    Someone at - it experience of similar problems and maybe a solution.
    Or perhaps a work around? As excluding the battery monitoring and auto turn off

    Thanks in advance
    Concerning

    > Is it possible I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
    Perhaps, but that's just a guess only a cellphone technician may provide an exactly the answer to this question.

    > Furthermore, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's some additional vibration.
    for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
    In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

    It is very strange, I want to say if the contacts of the battery and the battery would be ok, this symptom shouldn't its sounds strange for me, so maybe that's the key why battery don't not lasts more than 30-40 min

    However, I think you should try a new battery before checking the motherboard.
