E420 "battery needs to be recharged manually?

Hi, 'all ',.

Get ready for the arrival of my 'new' (for me) Lenovo E420, & found a 'customer' reviewer (a COMPUTER technician in his ' against') who said, "ATTENTION: battery needs to be recharged manually."

New on Lenovo ("but not to ' puters - for my first home ' puter, in 88, I used a momboard of IBM), I never heard such a thing. (I.e., you plug your adapter & batt'y charges - work.)

Could someone provide some information on the hows & what from whom? (IOW: HOW can we "reload a batt'y * manually *?") ([Unless the technology didn't know what he was talking about... that is, very doubtful].)

* NOTE: Have seen several questions / "complaints" to others about batt'y probs (although no w / my own question or RE: the E420). I.e., am the hope is a simple and easy response & not a case of "buyers remorse" - so come on, "Lenovo diehards," make my day!

Thanks in advance!

I forgot to mention, you can use 2 external monitors (1 HDMI, 1 VGA port), you just can't use 3, which means that if your using 2 external monitors, you can not use your laptop screen. And now, for the rest of your question:

-l'eSata is highly most watched. For external storage its actually much better than USB 3.0, because there is not a man of the Middle will convert sata to eSata card port, and most of the boxes will allow access speed of disk native sata hard. I use mine to connect to a lightscribe DVDram I installed in my server and an external hard drive. If you want USB 3.0, as mentioned in a previous reply, you can buy a card with USB 3.0 Express. They mount pretty flower and it will be just like having ports install factory (as far as I'm concerned).

-Sound card: you have the sound software installed? It seems to help with the sound quality (even without paying any special parameters. Are you anywhere near Raleigh NC?  I was able to trim the number of process for you.  I have a pretty clean image backup of windows 7 (with the OEM key, then it would not matter much if you used it). Would just back up your keys for office and everything else. I am currently running windows 8, so I couldn't tell you how I am currently running process.  You can download and install CCleaner and disable some of your startup programs (can be done without CCleaner but it makes it easer.) You can also on the head to tweakhound.com and take a look at the windows 7 tweaking section. Enough good things, I choose tweaks based on what I want to use the computer for. http://www.TweakHound.com/Windows7/tweaking/index.html make sure you know what you're doing before messing with your OS well. Backup, backup, backup. I have (its free, ReDoBackup) imaging software that I image my hard drive with opportunity encase I screw something up.

    Windows Vista sp1 - Home Premium 32 bit IE 8 not networking

    How can I know when / if my PC battery needs to be replaced? Computer has been installed may 2008

    Hello.

    There is not a really good to this answer unless you notice that the battery life is much shorther immediately when you first purchased the machine.

    Computer manufactureres that batteries in laptops are parts that suffer from wear, to this effect, there is only a 1 year warranty on it, opposes the computer that may have 2 or 3 years warranty.

    When a battery is 3 years old, very often, it will be shown signs of wear as fast discharge and the computer to stop suddenly even if it is 10 to 30% remaining battery life. When these events occur, it is time to put in place a new battery.

    Because your computer is 2008, and I guess you have not replaced your battery since then, I would say it might be time to change, but if you experience any of the symptoms I described above, or that doesn't bother you, there is not no need to replace it yet.

  • Qosmio F10: new battery needed

    My name is Batool Mohdhir, I was wondering if you could help me with something, please. I have a toshiba Qosmio F10 and I need new batteries that my batteries are ruined for some reason any! the model # I found written on my battery Li-ion battery model is PA3285-2BRS. I found on several sites in the same farm, except that its 1BRS. I don't know what that means! It is suitable for my laptop or is it not? If not, where can I buy the model I need online? What websites is the best to buy online laptop parts? and also I need an adapter model PA-2521U-1ACA, but I could not find. What other adapters are suitable for the Qosmio F10? I'm looking forward to your hearing you soon.

    Hello

    At a first of all welcome to the Toshiba Support forum. I hope that you will find here information quite useful.

    Back to your question: I checked the Qosmio specification and there is that your device needs to follow the described parts:
    Power adapter - PA2521E-2ACA or PA2521U-2ACA (90W)
    Battery - PA3285U

    I put t know in which country you live but if there is no Toshiba service partner you can order directly by them. Another way to check if you can find some offereor online in your country where you can order the parts you need. I'm sure you can find some not Toshiba universal AC adapt, but I prefer the use of original parts.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite 1900 305 battery, need the pinout numbers

    I wonder if anyone knows numbers pinout of the details of the connection of the battery from the battery used with the Satellite 1900 305

    Mine has not been used for a few months and the battery is completely flat and is not supported.

    I want to check battery volts and check that there volts at the terminals in the computer.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, there isn't any info on battery pin out. These documents are available only for the Toshiba ASP.

    But the battery charging is controlled by a microprocessor to power supply which is mounted on the system board. Power of orders by microprocessor if the accusation is enabled or disabled and detects a full charge when the power adapter and the battery are connected to the computer. The system charges the battery in charging or trickle charge.
    Normal load (power) 8 hours or more
    Fast (power off) charge about 4 hours

    Fast battery charge:
    When the adapter is attached, there are two types of fast charging: charging when the system's power off and normal load when the system is turned on.

    However, if the following occurs, the battery charging process stops.

    1. the battery is fully charged.
    2. the power adaptor or the battery is removed.
    3. the output or battery voltage is abnormal.
    4. the temperature of the battery is abnormal.
    5. battery SMBus communication fails.
    6. the battery cell is bad.

    In your case, it is possible to s that the batteries are dead, and you need a new battery.

  • Laptop HP 2000-2d39WM (EN: I need to know if the battery needs to be replaced.)

    Okay, I need on the front straight I can eventually get an answer.  I had a problem in a few months with my battery. Initially, I noticed that he cleared without warning me of a critical battery level (I immediately took it as malware so I did some tests and it came negative.) I watched a lot of videos on the calibration of the battery and tried all the solutions with it. I went into the system diagnostics and ran a test of battery - it came up as being SUCCESSFUL - and ran his 4 hour battery calibration. I even did the calibration of the battery of the HP Wizard and rolled up with various results several times; the first photo was taken about 3 weeks before today, as the next was taken earlier.
    A few things to mention, is that he died with the adapter removed about 10-15 minutes later; the laptop works perfectly well with the trendy adaptar. I also tried removing the battery, now the start 20 seconds button and so on (an interesting note with this is he actually went to sleep the first before shutting down completely when having done this). In addition, the battery indicator appears spasmodically spaz out with what it is charged exactly. Earlier, I had done a calibration of the battery and then started the laptop, at 8 minutes, the battery has dropped from 95% to 20% instantly. Then, when the power adapter is plugged in, it went straight to 100%, what has happened several times.

    I need to replace this battery?

    I think that Betsy would confirm that she is ready for a new battery. What else do you think it would? When you hear hoofbeats think horses, not zebras. By I mean the obvious response is almost always good, and it is certainly possible to way resist it.

  • Dead Zire 21 - new battery need? How to disassemble?

    Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. Hope you can help me a bit with my little experience of Palm.

    I had a Palm Zire21 that has some problems with turning the power on. It does not seem to load. At least, I couldn't find any screen it does. How can I check whether or not it requires? Should there be something visible on screen?

    In addition, when it running on the power supply and the connection via USB to the computer it does not appear. I was expecting to see here when it is powered. So I think that the battery may be dead. Is this feasible? I tried to disassemble the appliance but do not know how. On the back there are two Torx screws. I can't release them. I have to? Otherwise, how can we separate the housing of the electrical inside without destroying?

    Connect the power supply and leave your handheld on charge overnight. After recharging, let the pocket computer plugged into the power outlet and press the reset button several times on to see if the device turns on. If so, you should get a battery icon with a lightning bolt through it to indicate the battery is charging.

    If your handheld turns on not following these steps, you can call Palm to set up a repair. The price to repair the Z21 by Palm is $ 75.00.

    There are Internet sites that have spare batteries and some directions of the repair. Search for Palm zire21 battery.

    For reference purposes, click the following link to the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com Web page.

    There are links on the page the user Troubleshooting Guide, how to, downloads, etc.

  • Bio battery needs to update...

    Where must be done to update the bio for a dv6-1230?  I bought a new battery that load, but when the power cord is unplugged, the machine stops.  I contacted the seller and he suggests that I need to download a new bio.  Sorry, I'm not familiar with this procedure... any help?

    Who is this guy? Looks like that it gives you the runaround after you sell a defective battery. The BIOS is not likely to have an influence on the performance of the battery. However, if you want to update the BIOS (which is the base of the laptop control system, sometimes called firmware) is done by following this link here:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-96357-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=2093&product=3998668&sw_lang=

    Read the instructions. You can run this Windows and she didn't flash the BIOS then forces the system to restart. However, you run a huge risk IMO do this on a laptop with a bad battery... If the failure you will have a boat anchor not a computer. Good luck.
