Hello, all of a sudden my 8740w ElliteBook will not charge the battery and the battery flashes of color to orange color. Well, I have even if the battery is dead (it is already 5 years old) so I bought new. Well, the laptop will not charge too much new battery. When he consumed all the battery power the situation is the same as with the old. When I disconnect battery dock and plug AC the same problem is vithnessed... baterry icon flashes orange. AP power seems good however it provides compatible 19, 94V. What's wrong? Thanks, Ales

Hello @AlesR ,

To get your question more exposure I suggest you post in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do to commercial Forums.

Even if it is a Commercial product, here is a link to to test the battery.

Plug the power supply directly to a wall outlet works. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.

Thank you.

  • Portege R500 is not running on battery power - flashing orange indicator

    I have a Porterge R500 with Windows Vista to my work.

    I was going on a trip, so I bought an extra battery.
    Before the plane everything worked fine. Both batteries worked and they were fully charged.

    After I entered the plane, out of the blue, the laptop does not start with any of the two batteries (original both of them).

    When I landed I plugged the ac plug in and it started. It indicates that the battery is charging (70% and 80% respectively), but none of them doesn't seem to work because if I remove the plug, the laptop stops.

    When it is plugged in, the led battery is a kind of blink (occasionally) but I don't understand what the problem is at all because the computer is running, I have two batteries will kind of dead at the same time, and even when they are charged according to the computer, they do not provide the power.

    Any tips?

    > After I entered the plane, out of the blue, the laptop does not start with any of the two batteries (original both of them).

    Very strange that both batteries don t work after entering in the plane.
    To be honest I m not the expert on this area, but maybe the radiation while checking the bags and personal items likely to affect the batteries.

    However, the fact is that laptop does not work with batteries. I recommend you to buy another battery.

    Hello

    Many system will be trickle charge the battery occasionally to maintain the integrity of the battery so there
    may not be no problem depending on how long what happens.

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Check with support from the manufacturer of their books online and the drivers and their forums system
    (as applicable) for known issues. Some manufacturer issued BIOS and other updates to help the battery

  • Satellite A100 - will not charge the battery

    Hello

    I have ned to help. My Satellite A100 will not charge the battery. He works the power adaptor for the led indicates charging status, battery shows 1% of loading tatus information, but none does change - no loading any time. When disconnected everything just stops off like normal desktop.

    I've already put battery in and out, made upgrades to the antivir software, makes Toshiba controls, tests, but what ever he did did not any change. If there is no way for restoration of battery how to check what the problem is I have no second battery or AC I can always buy new batttery but I don't know if the old one is broken and weather new would work properly?

    Best regards
    pawelg

    Hi pawelg,

    I agree with the user above. The battery can be charged only up to 500 times, and after that, it must be replaced. I think it's the case now, I mean that everything works correctly on the AC adapter so I think that the battery must be the reason for this.

    By the way: you can buy a new battery to an authorized service provider. ;)

  • HP dv6 Envy: battery, do not charge, the light goes blue/red then off

    Slowly, the battery started not charging, the day before he arrived he was in charge, but that once plugged waiting a bit with it, or I have to turn it off and keep the adapter to plug again. In its sequel, the light is not on to signify the load and it does not charge. When the laptop is turned off and I plug in the power adapter, it goes to a blue light, red light, then in the same model, do not at all support. I wonder if there is a problem with the battery, solder or simply the motherboard itself. I tried a new power supply and took out the battery, when its plugged in without the battery, pressing the button power turn on turn on for a second, but it used entirely and the charging light will also turn off when it turns off, but immediately return to solid when its completely off with battery blue.

    Hi @ActingDemicky,

    Do you have completely replaced the power adapter, power cord and I tried to plug different?

  • Satellite A100 - 166 PSAA9E will not charge the battery

    Hello

    My laptop will not charge the battery.
    Although Windows Xp recognize the battery and says loading, the battery does not charge.
    I tried with a spare battery that I thought that the battery was faulty, with the same results.

    Strange thing is, when I turn off the laptop the power led remains lit and the blue, even without the power supply attached therefore discharge the battery.
    The battery led is still orange but not load!

    What is the problem with the laptop?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Generally, there are three possibilities;
    (1) the adapter is faulty
    (2) the battery is faulty
    (3) the logbooks electronic malfunctions (ESF)

    So now he of needed to check all these steps to find the fault.
    You said you've tried different batteries and AC adapter works too.
    So it is possible that there is something wrong with the electronic power supply

    In this case there is not much to do to contact the ASP in your country. Technicians should check the portable and should run diagnostics tests

    I recommend contacting the guys and ask for more details and manipulation still good luck and happy new year.

  • 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.

  • LC - E6 quickly shows the flashing orange light. Will not charge the battery.

    The charger that comes with my new 5 d Mk III LC - E6 battery could not operate right out of the box. Would not load my new battery, nor any of my other Cannon batteries. Amber led flashes quickly.
    The old LC - E6 charger supplied with my EOS 7 d charging these batteries normally.
    I updated the scrapped charger delivered with my 5 d Mk III, and bought a new LC - E6 B & h. This unit has the same question. Sometimes it will load some of my batteries of Cannon, but more often the clear amber, after 20 seconds of just flashes quickly and will not charge the battery. My old charger LC - E6 Bill still all these batteries in normal mode.
    I use brand Canon LP - E6 batteries in these cameras.

    I followed the instructions found in the owner and guide online the site of Canon USA to charge the battery. The batteries are relatively new and show the good working condition on the information panel of the menu camera camera battery. These units (LC - E6) never worked properly.

    Tim,

    AC power removed normal home. All high-tech devices are functioning normally.

    As for replacement by Canon, I don't have the original invoices for this item, so I'm just going to buy another.

    Thanks again for your contribution.

    Laptop is about 2 years old.  Running on the Windows 8 origninal accompanying.  Had the same problem when it was purchased.  He sent to Acer.  Returned with no report / Details.  Has worked very well. Until recently.

    Noticed that seeing orange lights up when it feels like load and stops at 35% load.  Load is something dark, don't miss especially.

    Tried:

    Stick a PIN in the "battery reset" hole on the back

    Uninstalling the 'API Microsoft' battery

    Remove the battery to see if it'll work without it (it has an internal battery)

    Of course Acer won't help now since the warranty has expired.

    Please notify.  Thank you.

    Power plug has been checked, flinched 19V.

    Laptop briefly, then lost load capacity.  Checked power once again, 0V.

    Power adapter is bad.

  • Canon 60 d does not recognize the 430ex II flash. Any suggestions?

    Canon 60 d does not recognize the 430ex II flash. On the menu screen, it says that flash is where not compatible.

    Any suggestions? Books or guides recommended?

    Thank you

    A few...

    I hope that you have verified that the flash lights up completely and you get the red light showing that it is ready to fire.

    On your system menu 60 d, if you find the "Flash control" option, you can ensure that you have not set the external speedlite to 'disable' - although I think in this mode, you wouldn't get the message you describe.  that is, I doubt it's, but you can double check.

    A more common reason for the failure is that the flash of the camera can perfectly communicate with flash.  This is usually due to a bad connection in the 'foot' of the lightning.

    The flash must be in place in the rails of the claw.  Make sure that the lock is released, fully slide the flash into the rails of the hoof, stop.  Engage the locking of the foot, so we got him firmly (it will slide to the right and then click sur-pour-snap (you must press the button to release the locking lever).)  This is not * only * snug foot... He also puts a tiny metal pin locking in a small hole in the claw so that flash can't get out.

    At this point, the "foot" of the flash is actually the "ground" connection and he is in contact with the metal rails of the claw AND the five contacts on the foot must be in contact with the camera.

    This means there is nothing wrong with the flash - and there could be something wrong with her.   So if you are convinced you fully secures the flash, then remove the flash and inspect the "foot" on the flash.

    The metal plate on the bottom of the flash must be strong... If you use your fingers and try to move it (do not use a heavy force... we do not break - just firmly grasp and see if he's going to move at all) it should not move.  If it does not move that this means that the foot is loose and is not attached to the body of the flash (there are four very small screws which hold it firmly, but they are accessible from the inside of the flash.

    Next, inspect the 5 metal pins on the bottom of the flash.  Each of these areas is spring loaded so that they will stand against the 5 points of contact in the camera shoe.  I sometimes saw a performance of something (for example, a bit of sand) getting stuck and 'jam' a PIN so that she she brings more contact with the contact on the hoof.  If you view the foot of the flash of an edge - on view, all the pins it is back to the same height.  If one of them is lower than the rest... indented it is blocked.

    The 430EX II has a solid reputation as a flash work horse.  It tends to be among the most reliable flashing on failures is rare.

    It is also possible that the problem is in the camera.  A simple test of this is to try an another speedlite (if you have one, or if you have a friend who has a).  If it's your speedlite, and it is under warranty, then it is probably a simple remedy of service Canon.

    If the flash is not under warranty and that the problem is with the hot-shoe is is not solid, it is often an easy repair.  If a foot have been irreparably damaged, the entire foot can be replaced (everything is a module) and it is an easy and I think a little low cost repair.
