HP Mini 311 - HP battery alert - main (internal) (601) - error at startup

I have a HP Mini 311-1037NR (the product number is VBM262UA #ABA).   My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.

When I start my HP Mini 311, I get the following message:

HP battery alert

The system has detected the following battery storage capacity is very low.  For optimal performance, this battery will need to be replaced.

Battery (internal) (601)

ENTER - continue starting

So my questions are:

First of all, what exactly is the problem here? After that I Googled, it would seem that the problem is NOT my external battery, but my battery.  Which battery is need of replacement?  Has it a name?

Second, is there a user guide out there that could help me with the process of replacing that someone can provide a link, or least send me the page that helps me?  Is there a YouTube video (even better)?

Third, what exactly is the part number of the battery that needs replacement and exactly where can I get this (how much $$ it cost)?  This issue is important because I can be able to know how to replace the battery, but without the possibility to buy a replacement battery, I'm still dead in the water.

Fourth, my HP Mini 311 dies just when I unplug the unit.  A remedy for the above question will remedy this issue?  I really enjoy using my little HP Mini's, I prefer to be able to use it without a power cord.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Tim,.

No problem and it is certainly wise to check a response.

I would say that you posted your question to the correct Board.  It is generally preferable just post once on the relevant map.  I agree that the term "internal" causes unnecessary confusion.

Here is a link to your & Maintenance Guide.

Yes, I am sure that the 601 error code refers to the main battery of your laptops (602 is a failure code for machines that have a secondary storage unit).  Interestingly, there is no code generated for an RTC battery fault - error or one in the diagnostic test built for her, than the usual symptom of the system clock reset after each stop.

There is also a document from HP about alerts on the following link starter battery.

  • Error of the main battery (internal) "601".

    I have this error when I turn on the laptop: main (internal) battery error "601". From software battery check I have check the battery and software say: This battery works fine but it needs to be calibrated. But I can't calibrate the battery. I think the internal battery of the error is the cmos on laptop battery, right? What should do? Thank you.

    DJ.

    This is your main battery not the CMOS battery.

    Judgment of the laptop.

    Remove the main battery will then serve to start.

    You receive the error message?

    If the main battery (internal) (601) appears in the alert message, it means that the battery capacity main (internal) storage measured is less than 25% of the original storage capacity. The number "601" indicates the associated error code that is logged in the system log.

    They should change to say the MAIN battery.

    I don't have CMOS issues that retaining the date/time.

    My extended warranty company suggested I do the system recovery and if I still had the same error code, there may be something else wrong with my computer because I don't have CMOS issues.    They show Compaq error code 601 being something with the drivers of the computer itself, not a battery problem.

    So, when you're looking for batteries for my computer in the HP site - I just find the external battery bar - not an internal battery.

    I did a complete system restore, still getting error... Help!

    Yes, that's correct.  Although the error seems to suggest the CMOS battery, it is in fact the battery located under your laptop.

    Hello

    601 error code makes reference to laptops to your main battery (not the RTC cell on the system board) and occurs generally when the storage capacity fell below 25% of its original value.

    The only solution is to replace the battery.

    This is a warranty item, if your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for a replacement to send - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  • Satellite click on Mini - BIOS and battery keyboard problem

    A mod can explain please why all my messages complain that Toshiba cannot resolve the well-known problem of the Mini click keyboard battery have been removed?

    Caveat emptor, it seems that not only the product does not work as advertised, but all attempts to engage the problem and alert the community seem to be censored, too...

    Please try this (which worked for me)

    Turn the laptop completely off by holding down the power button.

    Place it in the charger.

    test to see whether or not he is totally turned off by quickly tapping once on the power button. You should see two indicators of battery.

    Wait for the top has accused...

    When you see that the load indicator is on the second battery, this unfortunately will not charge it. However...

    Press the quick power button to see the two indicators.

    Remove the plug from the charger to the laptop (not the wall) and reinsert it back quickly

    Then wait...

    After 20 minutes to feel the charger on the wall... If it's hot, it recharges the battery in the keyboard...

    Use Bios 1.7 or 5 before you do (I tried it on 5 bios)

  • HP Mini 311 - portable closing before closing down - right or wrong?

    I have a HP Mini 311-1037NR (the product number is VBM262UA #ABA).   My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Basic question: I was able to I close/close my HP Mini 311 before STOPPING Down Windows 7?

    I just recently 'brought to life' my HP Mini 311.  I remembered from a difficulty, I lived and I wanted to put out there for comments and suggestions.  I have a laptop from Apple as well.  I can use it and close it and use it and close it, without actually stop it.  When I open it back up, it's just where I left.

    When I got my new HP Mini 311 I used and then closed without first closing of Windows 7.  I seem to remember that he does not like do me that.  It is important, of course, I could be somewhere where I leave quckly and want to just close it and go (i.e. "the library is about to close. Please bring your books Checkout... »).

    What is the process?  Is this just a fact that I need to stop Windows 7, whenever I want to close the top?  Or I have to configure something that would allow me to just shut it down?

    Thank you, Tim

    Hi Tim,.

    The easiest option might be to put the laptop 'Sleep' when the lid is closed - you can set it as follows.

    Open windows control panel.  In the upper right corner of this window, next to ' display:' choose large icons in the menu drop-down.

    In the new list now displayed, select Power Options.  In the following window, in the left pane, click "choose the closing the cover.  In the next window, next to "when I close the lid:' choose the sleep option in the drop-down menus for both"on battery"and"Plugged in"."

    Click on the save changes"" button.

  • HP Mini 311 - should I flashed my BIOS?

    I have a HP Mini 311-1037NR (the product number is VBM262UA #ABA).   My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.

    The question more simply: should I FLASHED my BIOS?

    I just started using my HP MINI again after a year of rest.  I did all Windows 7 updates that can be done.  I was even dedicated to device drivers and updated all those requiring updates.

    Thanks to Provost User DavidPK, I identified a stack as error being the external battery.  I ordered the following and (Amazon says) it should arrive at my home on or before February 11.  Then, I'll be able to use it without a power cord (yay!).  Looking forward to that.  THANKS, DavidPK!

    Now, I'm trying to decide now if I should update or FLASH the BIOS?  It can be risky, I understand.  So, I wonder if it is a gesture that would be the rishk?  I certainly don't want to update something on my machine just to say that I've updated.

    Thoughts?

    Hello

    Good to hear the battery is on the right track

    What about updating the bios, my personal opinion is that this should be done only if the update fixes a problem you already have, or adds features that you need.  Otherwise, if everything works well, I'd recommend flashing with a new version of the bios.

  • HP Pavilion dv7. Primary (internal) (601) battery is low.

    HP Pavilion dv7. At startup, the message says that primary (internal) (601) battery charge is low and must be replaced.

    The PC works normally on the supply network, so do I really need to replace the battery, being that I still use the PC powered by the power supply.

    If I really need to replace the battery, where can I get replacement of and how much will cost replacement?

    Thank you very much

    TC48

    Hello

    Just to clarify, the 601 error relates to your main battery of notebooks (not the RTC cell on the system board).

    If you are satisfied with the machine running on full power, there is no problem with that and you can just remove the battery.

    If you do not want to replace the battery at a certain time, you can order a new through HP parts store or (and), just google the full model number of your laptop dv7 series including the battery of the term.

    Kind regards

  • HP Mini 311 is blocking video playback on network

    I have a HP Mini 311 1000 - NR netbook running Windows 7 and it crashes into a video game on the network. It last a few seconds, the video locks, sound gets stuck, then he comes back and plays very well for a while. I should also note that when this happens the HARD drive led is solid, and the computer is completely insensitive.

    This happens when playing Standard and HD video of all formats, avi, mkv, etc...

    This occurs by ethernet and wireless. Ethernet is managed through a switch and bypasses the router.

    The same videos work very well when played on the local hard drive.

    After plugging the power cord makes no difference.

    Set the power plan to high performance makes no difference.

    I tried to play video files of multiple network shares on different PC with no changes, so it may not be a problem with the host computer.

    All the drivers and software are of course aware.

    I'm out of ideas.

    Uh, I said nothing about online games. Did you even read my ad?

    Anyway, I solved the problem. It turns out that the driver for the Nvidia SATA controller was the issue. Manual installation of the microsoft driver that some windows fixed my problem.
