Hello

Is worn or old battery?

Check with Dell Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask in the Dell forums
for problems known.

Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery issues.

Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil

Check with the support of the machine system, and many of them have on line forums.

New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload then less than 30%
However on a laptop that not extend their life a lot. Best is to use the a/c adapter

  • How to charge the battery if the power input is damaged?

    The decision-making power on my 4070CDT satellite was damaged and the laptop will no longer take power or charge the battery from this socket. (Attempts to re - solder the joint damaged power detection circuits!)

    Does anyone know if I can feed the appropriate voltage (10.8 v?) to the battery contacts in the battery casing to keep the laptop going, and if so, which comes into contact with and what tolerance on the voltage?

    (Application of 12v through the + ve and a particular contact - EV seems to persuade the power management software, it runs on sector without battery, but after 20 seconds the laptop turns off.)

    Any ideas? Thank you.

    Hello

    In my opinion to do something like that, you have to be an expert and know very well the construction of the motherboard and electronic load.

    Sorry, but I don't see a great chance to do that successfully. Try to contact the Service partner. Perhaps, they can give you a useful tip.

    Good luck!

  • How to recharge the battery of digital camera WX220 disc Cybersht

    Cyibershot Sony to the Canada WX220. We live in Italy... How to charge the battery he's dead?

    Don't have a charger battery here in Italy and could not find one in the store

    Try to use another USB port on your laptop (if it exists) and see if will charge. Some laptops will have 1 USB port with a higher output voltage. If you can not always charge the battery, then you need to get a charger. Check in other stores where cameras are sold locally and see if they can help you. If this isn't the case, then you will need to order one online. With a good charger if it still doen't load so its likely you will need to have the camera repaired.

    Edit: Also make sure that your laptop does not go to sleep while it loads.

    Hello

    What battery LED on your laptop? If you plugin the AC/DC adapter is this light on or off?
    Can you charge the battery while the laptop is turned off?

    Generally if Notepad starts with the charger plugged in the charger works properly and that the problem must be the battery itself or in the worst case the control of load on the motherboard :(

    Hello

    It could be a number of reasons of a battery discharged to a problem with the charging circuit.

    You neglected to mention which version of Windows you are using.

    You can create a detailed report on the State of the battery to double check the battery status.

    1. go to Start / all programs / Accessories. Click on the command prompt and select run as administrator.

    2 in the command prompt window, copy / paste the following command.

    powercfg-energy-output %userprofile%\desktop\energy-report.html

    Press ENTER.

    Wait for the command to complete (usually about 2 minutes).

    This create a file named energy - report.html and place it on your desktop.

    3 go to your desktop and double-click the file to open.

    Scroll to the bottom for the battery: battery information section.

    You will see:

    Rated xxxxx

    Xxxxx full last Charge

    (Where xxxxx is a number)

  • Having problems loading google

    Its been a week or two that I started to have issues loading youtube. Later, I started having problems loading google as well. Its very annoying and I don't know what is happening since no changes were made on the system.  Its touching all my apple products connected to my wifi.

    I removed the cache, history, cookies and tried different browsers and nothing suits him.

    Yesterday, I actually changed my DNS servers and it fixed it momentarily, but now its still doesn't work.

    Any of you have an idea on how to solve the problem?

    It does not google, gmail etc. But he has no problem loading what anyone else. The message also said the following:

    Sara can't open the page "www.google.com" because he has a server that hosts this page does not.

  • I use an analog input on a PCI-6224 and are having problems with the clock source

    I use an analog input on a PCI-6224 and are having problems with the clock source. I'm trying samples of 16 different analog inputs very quickly. I have the sample mode: Timed Single Point material. The rate, that I am running is the maximum (250 kHz (15625Hz per channel)). I left the default clock source and trying to taste several times. The analogue input works for a short time (2-3 seconds) and then everything stops. I'm doing something wrong or is there something I'm missing? Any advice would be great.

    That's how you samples using the sample clock clock. If you see a delay then something is wrong with how you track/data visualization.

    Single point NI the hardware is for PID control with a real-time operating system.
