HP Probook s 4540 - 8.1 - battery delivers Windows - untimely closure

Hello

I have a 1 year s 4540 HP's Probook who recently has the following problem.

When unplugged the laptop suddenly stops even hard battery shows 29% remaining.

I get no notification Windows, or whatever it is, it closes all down as when the battery reaches 0%.

So to start again, I need to plug it.

Is this a known issue? I have previously had no problem battery and run the HP Wizard informs me that the battery is ok and there is no need to replacemants.

No idea how to solve this problem? Basically, the laptop is dead at 28 to 29% battery life.

Thank you.

Hello Mythul,

I read your post on how your laptop is untimely closure when you unplug your power cable, and I would be happy to guide you to a resolution!

I'm sorry, but to get your question more exposure, I suggest posting in the trade forums, since it is a commercial product. You can do it:

  • HP Probook s 4540 cannot start - sometimes

    I found that my Probook s 4540 sometimes cannot be started. I have to use the trick applied to 4530 s: remove the battery, press the power button to 40, turn on the adapter. Sometimes the trick works, sometimes it does not.

    Is this a bios problem? Any solution for this?

    Well have you tried reinstalling the memory? The computer is working since you have upgraded the memory? Are also that memory chips the same speed? If your two running different speed of chips, it could cause this problem.

  • HP ProBook s 4540: update WiFi on ProBook s 4540

    Hello!

    I have the HP ProBook s 4540 with Ralink RT3290 wifi. It does not work like I think it should.

    The wifi router is located at 1 meter from the laptop. But the connection is lost once every few hours. And the Internet speed is unstable.

    Please see graphs of speedtest for wifi download speed:

    http://i.imgur.com/7Gd9eE2.jpg

    http://i.imgur.com/HWvgEc8.jpg

    I also have the Asus laptop, Samsung smartphone and iPhone - their internet wifi connection is stable and much faster to Download / Upload speed. So, I conclude that the problem is in the HP ProBook wifi module.

    When I use the Ethernet cable - I get a more stable connection. Take a look: http://i.imgur.com/H7GTjLd.jpg

    What I tried to solve the problem:

    I checked how antenas are connected to the wifi module - there are 2 wires and the connection is good.

    I got my drivers Ralink RT3290 to 5.0.5.0.

    I upgraded the drivers to the latest version of the Mediatek website.

    I installed the latest drivers from the HP site.

    Nothing has worked

    I plan to fix this module wifi or just change. Can you recommend a better wifi? I think I have the whitelist of wifis compatible on my ProBook, but I don't know about you.

    Thank you!

  • HP Probook s 4540: fingerprint reader does not

    Hello

    Problem: fingerprint - Windows journal reader under does not have the ability to connect via the fingerprint reader.

    Overview: after installing the drivers of the fingerprint on the HP site and thanks to the HP protection tools to register successfully to fingerprints, I tried to log in via this method, but the Windows Connect screen does not display this option. Device Manager correctly identifies and shows the fingerprint sensor - however, the Control Panel does no detection of biometric devices.

    I really need help with this problem. Details of what steps I took trying to make the scanner work are given below.

    Specs:

    1) 4540 probook s

    (2) Windows 7 64 bit

    (3) i5 - 3210 m, 1 GB Hd 7650 m, 4 GB at 1333 Mhz, 750 GB 5400 RPM, VFS 491 fingerprint reader.

    Details of the problem and the steps of my work to install the drivers:

    After a new installation of Windows 7, I went on the site of HP driver to download the latest drivers for Probook s 4540:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5229457&...

    I installed the drivers in roughly in this order:

    drivers ethernet controller 1) realtek.

    drivers audio 2),

    (3) the chipset and USB 3.0 drivers (but not the Intel MEI driver)

    (4) Intel video driver: a problem such that the pilots were not allowed to install. After you disable switchable graphics in the bios, I was able to get these drivers to install.

    (5) AMD video drivers: installed after graphic driver intel HD - installed but Catalyst Control Center was not displayed. Then I reactivated switchable graphics in the BIOS, re-installed these drivers and CCC was now available.

    (6) support for HP keyboard shortcut

    (7) HP Universal camera driver

    (8) fingerprint sensor fingerprint validity

    (9) Synaptics Touchpad driver

    (10) Atheros wifi & bluetooth

    (11) Jmicron card reader

    After driver installation, I installed the HP protection tools. According to request a reboot of the PC, which I did-, he asked for the setting up security etc... Part of this pocess was the registration of fingerprints - successful. However, log off / restart of windows, an option to connect with the fingerprint reader does not appear in the Windows login screen.

    I open the control panel and found there wasn't that no biometric device only tab, even if the Device Manager showed biometric sensor, device and validity (VFS 491). I then uninstall HP protect tools and driver validity sensor fingerprint, and made sure that these services are running:

    -Credential Manager

    -Remote Procedure Call (RPC)

    DCOM Server process Launcher-

    RPC end point mapper-

    -Windows Biometric Service

    Plug-and-Play

    Then as suggested in another post on the forum, I installed first of all this:http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe , then the drivers of the validity of 4540 s drivers page, then HP protection tools.

    After the reboot HP protect tools as before to register my fingerprints, but still no windows login prompt came to connect with fingerprints. However, a change after installtion of http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe that has been in Control Panel it is now a tab for biometric devices. However, it is said that windows did not find it all installed biometric devices. A picture is attached showing the Device Manager and Control Panel!

    Please HP offer a solution. Thank you!

    OK problem solved. I don't know if it is related to the HP windows 7 system essential updates driver installation and Intel MEI or not - but I install these.

    What has really worked probably was it - > install the drivers of fingerprint and then the HP protection tools. Once rebooted, open HP tools protect, then return to the administration in the lower right corner-> the administration Console-> increase of security system-> tick windows login security and your done. Now, you will be able to connect through fingerprints registered.

  • HP Probook s 4540 can get backlit keyboard?

    Hi all

    I have a HP Probook s 4540, i7, 2nd laptop computer generation. A backlit keyboard was not something I considered when I bought the laptop, but now, after use, I find myself wishing that there was a backlight for the keyboard.

    My question is if I can have a backlit keyboard installed in my laptop (ie. replace the keyboard maybe?). If Yes, what are the steps I take to do?

    The comment of a reader said: No backlit keyboard. HP isn't able to help you and say "buy a new machine, a different model, with backlit keyboard". If you wish, you can call to ask.

    REO

  • HP ProBook s 4540 - we found that all the disks during the installation of Windows 8

    I have some problems (re) - install Windows 8 on a ProBook s 4540.

    The laptop had a virus so I decided to reinstall Windows 8. I bootet with a Linux rescue CD and made a backup of my personal data. Then I erased the hard disk (using Gparted) (except the first two partitions (System and boot) and with the HP Windows 8 DVD rebootet.) I see always the reader and various partitions, but Windows won't let me install on any of them. So next time, I tried to create two partitions with Gparted directly, but now, I am not at all a player and get after the error message:

    We have found all the disks. For a storage driver, click on load a driver.

    I googled a bit and I tried to switch between IDE and AHCI in the BIOS, but that did not help. Then I copied most of the pilots of the Assistance Center on a Flash drive and walked to the proper drivers, but no luck. I also tried to look on the Application and Driver Recovery DVD provided with Windows 8 directly but no luck there as well.

    I'm a bit at my wits end now, any help would be really appreciated.

    Don't know if it's the Board correct, please move if not.

    I deleted the partition windows 300MiB and now I can see and select some readers in windows install again. The problem is that windows will not continue because of various errors. (See attachments)

    The problem seems to be that my disk is dynamic. I found a guide to convert the hard drive back to base. So my question is, this will help her or my HP DVD awaits the dynamic hard disk?

  • HP ProBook s 4540: HP ProBook s 4540 - keyboard replacement - advise

    Have a 4540 s HP from my neighbor who dumped some broth on the keyboard.  The P and O do not work, the K - L -:- and space sometimes work, are sometimes stuck in down position.  At this stage, it is virtually unusable.

    The serial number is 2CE338382Z and the Code of Prod C9K7OUT #ABA.  The insignia claims that it sports an Intel's I3.

    So, I see videos here describing how to remove and replace the keyboard.  It does not seem too complicated for me - I'm ready to take the plunge.  If someone has done this before, you have some tips on where are the land mines?  Or is it pretty much direct?

    And where exactly I think the correct keyboard replacement part?  What I have to disassemble the unit first and look at a part No. on the entire keyboard?  Can't seem to locate the function parts here.  Can someone link me please?
