is it safe to keep the power adapter plugged into laptop all the time?

I was constantly using a laptop Pavilion DV6-1230 we 5 years almost always with the power adapter is plugged in. I replaced the battery once. I was told yesterday that this isn't a good idea, because it can lead to a shorter battery hardware and life issues. We buy a new computer and want to know what is the recommended method for the use of current alternative with a laptop. Is always connected OK? Or we stop the computer at the end of the day? The power plug must be removed from the plug?  Appreciate the suggestions and recommendations on best practices in this case.

Hello:

It is not a good idea to leave the power cable connected with the battery in the PC.

You should disconnect the power supply at least once a month even if you move the laptop, run Notepad as needed and let the battery drain down until you get the low battery warning.

Then load it up.

Here is a useful guide of HP to prolong the battery life...

  • Is it possible to keep the timer "always on top"?

    When you use the timer I like to keep the timer of disappearing from the screen saver, but I didn't understand how to do... If that's possible.  After the timer starts, he goes down to a few seconds and the clock face appears again.  To check the time remaining on the timer, you must click to the home screen and select new application timer... which, in few seconds again goes to the background and the face of the clock reappears, again he must open the clock app to see the remaining time.  If there is a way to keep the timer "on-top" without having to repeatedly touch the screen during execution of the timer, I have not discovered.  I would also add the timer to my eyes so I can toggle to him as well.  Of course, I can do it on my iPhone, but the Watch has not yet this ability.  Apple engineers could make sure with the timer and the timer if they see the need.  Are there others who want that ability as well?  I think so.

    Hello

    It is not currently possible to add Timer looks. However, your watch can be configured for more convenient use of the application of the timer:

    • Set your watch to return to the last app used to raise your wrist:
      • On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > General > wrist Detection - turn on.
      • On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > General > screen Wake:
        • Raise the topic on the wrist, select RESUME last activity.

    After you start a timer by opening the timer app, your watch will return to timer (for as long it remains the last app used) when you then lift your wrist.

    • Add a Timer to your dial of the watch as a complication. When you view the time on your watch:
      • Firmly press the display > drag left / right to the face of the watch you want to customize (not to slip if you want to customize the current face of the watch).
      • Press the Customize button.
      • Some watch faces offers more than one screen customization options > move left until you reach the last screen to select (if available) complications.
      • Tap a complication to customize what is shown in this place.
      • Turn the digital Crown to scroll through available there complications until you reach Timer.
      • Press the digital Crown, then press the dial to return.

    To start the timer directly from your watch dial, press the complication. Once started, the remaining time will be then showed complication on your watch until the end of the timer dial, when the application opens for you to make them disappear.

  • Satellite A300 may depend on from when the power adapter plugged

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300 when the laptop is connected to the power adapter I have no possibility to turn it on, it's only 2-3 seconds once it comes down.
    When Toshiba is enabled with the battery power and I tried to connect the adapter it also goes down.
    I have no problem with the charge itself, but only with working with AC adapter.

    Please help me what can I do with this problem, does anyone has similar problem?

    Hello!

    For me it sounds like a hardware failure of the motherboard if the AC/DC adapter is plugged and the laptop is turned on

    I don't know but how best to m would be if you go to the authorized service provider nearest with the AC/DC adapter. Technicians can check your laptop and swap the motherboard if it of really necessary. The guys are very friendly and helpful!

    Here, you can search the nearest ASP:

  • HP Pavilion 6500 goes out when the power adapter plugged

    My Pavilion 6500 (specifically dv6623cl) turns off when I plug in the power adapter. If I plug it in, then turn on the laptop, it automaticly turns off before loading windows. If the laptop is already started, and I can plug the power adapter, it immediately turns off. I can charge the battery without any problem, also while the laptop is turned off, but as soon as I turn it on with the adapter plugged it stops, I checked the battery through HP battery check and he said its good, he is holder of a charge very well and everything, the only change made to the laptop hardware wise was an upgrade memory I had no such problems until the upgrade of memory, but I do not see how it would affect the power on the aspect, in order to make a system restore, if ever, I need, the poweradapter must be plugged and theres other system functions that require the adapter complete, it is a question that must be corrected

    any ideads what the problem would be?

    any help is much appreciate

    Thank you, rayandmaura

    Talk to a jury of uselles / forum, do those who seek info on how to reset / bypass the bios password on their (or anyone elses) computer or something as it gets 20 pages of answers, but asking a power / card issue and your luck if you get a response at all,

    I'll just give up to deal with this useless community and just buy 3 extra batteries and remind all of the accused

  • The A7r will work with only the power adapter plugged

    I want to use this camera (once I have purchaced one) to copy photos and slides.  There may be a lot of time involved, and it would be nice not having to worry about battery life.

    Hello oldchas! AC adapter / CC of the A7R is not able to provide a continuous camera power while it is operating. Only a charged battery can power the device. Power must be turned off and the camera connected to the AC adapter to charge the battery. The battery is not charged if the switch is on when you are connected to the power adapter.

  • I have a wireless adapter plugged into a port USB lock the computer.

    I have a plugged into a USB wireless adapter.

    I suddenly started bad connection to the router and my computer XP crashes.  The only way out is to do a hard reboot powering. When she returns to the top I'm reconnected but some or all of my cookies are undervalued.

    I have Win XP with Service pack 3 and it is kept up-to-date.

    I have a good anti-virus and firewall, and just in case, uninstalled and installed a different security package to make sure that wasn't it.

    The wireless USB adapter is a linksys.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software for the Linksys and I reinstalled using the internet XP system so the Linksys software is not installed.

    The problem seems to be stabilized after I uninstalled the adapter and re-installed without the Linksys software, just the drivers.

    Problem solved, thanks for the help.

  • Should I keep the TIME for VCOPS?

    Hello

    I'm new to VCOPS.

    I successfully import the EGGS and set up the VCOPS on an independent ESX host (as advised by other scholars).

    When I add ESX host on the cluster, I think that the TIME for VCOPS is missing (in other words, I get only 2 VM - UI VM & VM analytics.  I wonder if she should be OK or not?

    Thank you

    TonyJK - the 2VMs will probably work OK until you stop network is reset, or another such event occurs.

    The VM "UI" needs to know the IP address of the "Analytical" VM and it get to it through metadata VAPP (which, in your case, are destroyed).

    So if you have the license of DRS, better enable and redeploy the VAPP so that everything is OK

  • Equium A210-17i does not supply power to the top only with the power adapter plugged

    Equium A210-17i turn on when the battery is missing, but the laptop is set to the power supply dc?

    I have a dead battery and the laptop does not light with or without the battery inserted.
    The food came out 19v as it is supposed to.

    Also no led lights on the laptop when the power is connected and there is no sign of life at all by pressing power buttun.

    Thanks for any response.

    Hello

    The laptop must also lights up if the battery is not inserted.
    If the adapter is ok and if it s connected to the laptop, then the power led should be lit and it should light up.
    This led indicates that AC adapter provides power to the laptop properly.

    But if the LED turns OFF then that would mean that there is no power, and in this case the laptop will not turn on.

  • Satellite A300 stops when the power adapter cable

    Hi people

    When I connect the power cable for my toshiba satellite a300, it stops immediately. I can use it on battery normally without any problems.
    When I boot in safe mode, it works fine without any problems with the AC adapter plugged into the laptop.
    Operating system is Windows Vista
    What is the reason? What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you

    Can you use it for laptop with AC power only when the battery is removed?
    If so, boot up your laptop and when the operating system is loaded to put battery inside, wait a few minutes and disconnect the power supply.
    Plug it in again and let us know if the same thing will happen again.

    It simply means that you need to use a charger work, approved, the manufacturer of your laptop.  If you get this message with the adapter plugged into the wall and the laptop, this might mean it has failed and must be replaced.
