IdeaPad Y500 discharge battery for some games

Recently I had problems with the battery discharge then plugged everything by playing a few games (Civilization V and Sniper Elite V2 ones I noticed the most). In the case of Civilization V, it also causes the game behind the point of being unplayable. Notification of battery when scrolling on said "plugged in, not charging" and therefore indefinitely until the computer turns off a lack of power. It also lowers the battery life about an hour and fifteen minutes what discharge like this.

Any help would be appreciated with this, because it doesn't happen with every game I own. Sims 3, St rank the third, Skyrim, etc do not suffer from this problem. I already tried to uninstall the games with this problem and reinstall them, but that doesn't seem to help.

Thank you!

You are using version SLI? If so make sure you a 170W charger and not a 120W since 120W charger will be the kickoff and make portable use battery since 120W cannot manipulate to give power to the 2nd gpu so thats why 170W is necessary.

  • IdeaPad Y500 battery status always led ON

    Hi, I have Ideapad Y500. There for 2 months I use it. I keep the charger connected always using 100% charged. The present battery status light on the left side of the base of the laptop is turned on for a few days, even if I unplug the charger from the socket. Why is this happening? Is this due to the excessive load? Help, please...

    Hi KrishnaFT9,

    Welcome to the Community Forums of Lenovo!

    Always on battery indicator indicates that the battery has a sufficient charge to power the computer and when the indicator turns red means that the battery needs to be recharged, it is the new type of indication and it is normal and there is no need to worry.

  • Why some games and other programs need to be "run as Administrator" mode in 7RC which worked fine in normal mode on 7 beta and vista?

    Why some games and other programs must be run in Admin mode in 7RC which worked fine in normal mode on 7 beta and vista?

    An example of this is the game Guild Wars (www.guildwars.com). I had problems with this with random programs.

    cbello57,
    Run as administrator may be required for some games and programs because they have a permission structure different in Vista in Windows 7 (Windows 7 and Vista are different in how to manage certain permissions).

    I suggest test you installation of the game in the program by clicking on the Setup file by clicking on "Run as administrator".

    This will sometimes solve this kind of situation because it installed the program in a State of high permission.

  • Battery for blackBerry Smartphones potential problems

    Yesterday, my BB8310 AT & T decided that he didn't like my battery.  The battery for some reason any got all swollen and distorted and almost dead.

    The phone showed the battery with a red line through it.

    Today, I went to a local AT & t store picked up an extra battery at a cost of $47.

    He has been in charge for about an hour, but still, my phone won't turn on and shows this symbol.

    P.S. The phone is only about 2 months, so I'm screwed for the new year and 10 months, or I do something wrong?

    Warped and distended... as the battery was actually deformed? I think that your carrier should have replaced, free of charge.

    With your new battery:

    Leave the appliance to charge 2-3 hours and then, always toujours relie connected to the USB cable, remove the battery from the camera a few seconds and plug it back. If it starts - let - the charges to 100% (check the Options > status for the percentage).

    If it does not start - try using a wall charger if you're not. If you are connected via USB to the computer, make sure that you have Desktop Manager (or USB device drivers), you can download it below.

    Here's some good advice from loading, please read and you will see that many of them will be applicable to you.

  • 9 cell battery for IdeaPad S10-2?

    I wonder if one battery 9 cells which is compatible with the IdeaPad S10 will work as well in a S10-2. I need to replace my 6-cell and plans the upgrade for greater autonomy, if possible.

    Hello and welcome,

    I know that there is a (third-party) available 9cell battery for S9e, S12, S9, S10 S10e all could use all the same 3,6,9 cell batteries which are decided for S10 (one)... like the present case, i.e. 9-cell for S10 S12

    But is not fit for the S10-2 (two) and vice versa for the S10-2 battery does not fit into the S10...

    They are a little different... S10 - 2 have a small notch / nose that prohibit to connect the batteries like this for example

    3 & 6 cells for S10 - 2

    Either way S10-3 & S10 - 3T have also different batteries as S10, S10-2 have

  • y510p/y500 Ultrabay Battery?

    Is there a Ultrabay Battery for laptop y500/y510p? I would like to be able to add a bit more battery life.

    Thank you.

    Hi reconrey

    Thanks for posting!

    In my view, is not possible since the Ultrabay has a Sata interface that communicates through the Commission. So, it can interpret only devices Sata as ODD, GPU or turn on a fan.

    My suggestion is to install a battery as DC Batterymon.

    with it, you will see 'real time', your speed, then you can uninstall or disable some background apps and services at startup.

    The discharge rate can give you more autonomy.

    Hope this helps,

    See you soon!

  • IdeaPad Y500 "Windows doesn't detect any hardware networking".

    Hello

    I have problems with my recently purchased Lenovo Ideapad Y500 because it is impossible to connect to the internet. As a first step, the connection worked well and I managed to set up the connection Wireless using an ethernet cable.

    The problems started when I installed the F-Secure virus/firewall program - in the middle of the installation process (some time after the installation tool uninstalled MacAfee default program) the laptop became unresponsive. First of all everything except the background color disappeared, then the screen went completely empty and the laptop has not responded to other buttons. I waited for about 20 minutes until what I pressed the button for a few seconds in order to stop the laptop.

    The laptop rebooted normally, and the installation of F-Secure program was still underway. However, because the laptop had been closed at halfway, I decided to cancel the installation and re-install the program. I removed the parts installed with Control Panel tools, to realize that the wireless internet from the laptop disappeared.

    The laptop detects all connections; the network group says no connection is available. Previously, before the strange white screen problem, the Panel showed several nearby wi - fi networks. When I try to connect via the Network Center and sharing, I get only "Windows does not detect any networking hardware." Connect the ethernet cable (connected to the modem/router) makes no difference.

    I managed to solve this problem. For some reason, the pilots of two network components have been updated but did not work, so I did a restore on those, the question of fixing.

  • IdeaPad Y500 Upgrade help?

    I myself an ideaPad Y500, bought about 4 months ago.
    According to me, it came with a GT650M and an Ivy 3632QM image processor i7.

    I'm currently on Windows 8.1

    For some reason any when I run speccy, it says I have a free RAM slot, and I don't have that one RAM stick 8 GB to 798 MHz. is it possible for me to buy new RAM that runs at about 2000 Mhz and still be able to use it?

    Can I use 32 gigabytes of RAM? With 2 x 16 or is the max 16 (8 x 2?)

    Also, I would like to know how to SLI. I have an optical drive that is removable, but I don't know if this is where I put in my other graphics card. Where do you find an other GT650M anyway?

    I would like to know the best way to upgrade my laptop, or maximize performance.

    Thank you!

    Hello
    Welcome to the forums!
    Yes, some y500 come with 8 GB in only 1 location and most likely the application is to give the right information.
    On a new ram, I strongly advice you buy a compatible ram only which is supported by the motherboard of your laptop.
    The sli, the second gpu goes inside the CD-ROM and the optical drive must be removed. A single device can operate at a time.
    On the purchase of the gpu, I really don't think that you will get a ultrabay gpu for your laptop in India but you can check with the support.
    Also, check your laptop hardware maintenance manual, it tells how to replace the ram and other interchangeable client devices.

  • IdeaPad Y500 problems windows installation 7/8

    Hello, I just bought all new IdeaPad Lenovo Y500 650 m SLI. It came without windows OS (BACK only) - I'm in Europe, so configuration may be slightly different. Now, I want to install 8 64-bit windows. I have a genuine copy of windows 8 (via MSAA/Dreamspark) and he wrote in the pendrive (USB drive bootable in fact of course). I used it to check on my old laptop, I was able to get into the installer without any problems.

    But I can't get the installer to work on my Y500. Once I have inserted the USB and turn on my laptop I get frozen over "lenovo" splash screen or the same screen then black screen and a reboot (essentially the computer restarts every 2-3 seconds).

    I tried different settings in the BIOS. I changed the for Legacy Support, but not good UEFI boot mode. I have tried deactivation/activation of start secure, not good.

    And the USB boot is probably active.

    Overall, I played with many different combinations such as the various parameters of the BIOS, different usb keys, different versions of installation (I even tried Windows 7, same problem)

    If I boot my computer without usb key, it seems to start on BACK normally.

    Help, please!

    Hi all

    I managed to solve this problem by simply buying a new USB 2.0 flash drive.

    Turns out that 2 different USB keys I tried before, for some reason any have not accepted by the laptop (Interestingly - why?).

    I hope this helps if someone runs into the same problem

    Bye!

  • Life/changing the battery for V570

    Hello

    I bought my laptop a year ago and never got more than a couple hours my battery. I bought a battery backup and it's even worse maybe (an hour?). I've seen where some talked about resetting or to recalibrate the battery and I'm not sure how to do on the 570. If not, anyone know where I can get a long battery life for this laptop?

    I run Windows 7.

    Thank you

    Hi Wirehead,

    to reset please first remove the battery and charge it again to make sure that it is firmly connected.

    Charge the battery to 100% full, then use your V570 on battery only until 10 to 15% batt power is left.

    Stop then restart and immediately press the F2 key and hold until you see the first screen of the BIOS.

    Now let V570 slowed down until the battery is empty and the laptop turns off by itself.

    This will create a reference of empty battery for the control circuits.

    Plug then the charger for a few hours, then start and make sure you fully 100% of charge batt.

    Then again run the laptop on battery only and I hope that you will get 2-3 hours of the lamp

    until the low battery warning appears.

    Hi @oelsayed,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your 15 HP Omen and the slow performance when playing some games in Windows 10. Try perform a reset.

    When you perform a hard reset note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.

    This will put end to all programs can run in the background of slowing things down.

    You can try to use theWindows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

    Here is a document that could help. It shows a lot of thing to help performance.

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you.

  • New battery for Satellite C650/C650D

    Hello

    I need a new battery for my Toshiba Satellite C650/C650D.
    The battery model number is PA3817U-1BRS. 10.8V (48wH).

    I searched around for buy one online at the United Kingdom and can not find a real one for a reasonable price. I have seem some prize of nearly £400 and I can buy a new laptop altogether with this!

    I know that spare batteries are not as good, but are there you can recommend which would correspond to this model. How time will it last they? Better yet, anyone can locate a real battery online for me?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I m not the United Kingdom and can not you with the links to order online but Googling around you assistance should be able to find the farm of origin for reasonable prices.

    What you can also do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask how much you must pay if they order a new one for you.

    What you can also try is to check eBay. Battery for my old A300, I found there. A friend of mine uses non-Toshiba battery. It costs a half price and it's not so bad. How long will he be working properly is another question.

  • Recommendation of the battery for Satellite C660

    Can anyone recommend a spare battery?
    My only now realize only a paltry 16 minutes:)

    Preference value for the money farm. I saw one of those listed on Amazon, a Lenoge for a little over £10.

    Has anyone tried this before?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Remove the old battery. At the bottom of the stack, you will find the label containing the part number and other details.
    You can use the battery part number (search in internet for some online resellers) to get a new battery.

    I suppose a battery of 6 cells PA3817U-1BRS will be compatible.
