Laptop battery drains to 10%/hour when to stop.

Hello

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Y400

Intel i7-3630QM 2.4 GHz

8 GB RAM

1 TB HARD DRIVE

nVidia Geforce GT 650 M

64-bit Windows 8

This is the first laptop I have (I've always been using desktop computers) and I first noticed that leave my laptop in standby drain the battery to 10%/hour, so I decided to let him hibernate instead. Same thing happens, the battery drains to 10%/hour, so I try to stop... Same thing happens, battery drains to 10%/hour. So I removed the battery waited several hours, he plugged back in and noticed that he do NOT drain in any significant quantity. All this happens when the laptop is not reloaded also. Any help would be appreciated!

I found a solution to the problem. All I had to do was disable quick start settings in power options. Now, there is no noticeable drain when the laptop is turned off!

    Hello rabeeha hafeez robi.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that your iPhone battery has been draining more than expected. I use my iPhone all day, so I know how important the battery life can be. Surely, I understand your concern, as much as it seems as if the phone is not in use.

    First, I recommend that you check your settings to see what is using your battery life. You can do this by going to settings > battery. In some cases substantive activity of the app may affect the battery life. This means that the battery is used by an application while it is in the background. The link below provides additional information and advice to help maximise your battery performance.

  • Re: Laptop battery drains after stopping down

    Hello

    I followed the instructions to uninstall "Microsoft compatible ACPI controller embarked", turn the computer off, pulled the battery etc... However, when I turned it on the "embedded controller compatible ACPI Microsoft" was more listed in the drivers... is that a problem?

    Thank you

    Hello @Eng_Gladiator,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that "controller on-board compatible ACPI Microsoft" is no longer listed in Device Manager after you have uninstalled it on your computer, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

    To invite your system to recognize the embedded controller, I advise you to follow the steps below:

    1. click on the Windows key on your keyboard

    2. Type "compmgmt.msc".

    3. Select compmgmt.msc

    4. Select the Device Manager in the left column

    5. right click on the name of your computer and select Scan for hardware changes

    Reference: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20131227190644AAvYPrI

    If you are still not able to find the controller in Device Manager after you perform the foregoing analysis, I suggest also return your system back to a previous restore point before you uninstalled the driver. This can be done by following this document on using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).

    If the on-board controller not appear, I have recommended to perform a backup and restore of your operating system. This can be done by following this resource on the backup of files (Windows 8), and more to perform a recovery of the HP (Windows 8) system. This should help get your system back to factory settings.

    If the problem persists, please call our technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number.

  • Battery drains about 10%, while the laptop is turned off

    I own a HP Pavilion Notebook PC m6, which is less than a month. Regularly, I charge my laptop at 100% before l ' switch off before unplugging. When I turn it back on (between 12 and 17 hours later), the battery has been drained with no provocation. What is a normal battery loss? If not, is it possible to stop this discharge? This laptop would lose so much energy in the first two weeks, when I've owned.

  • Whenever I turn on my laptop, the system time is the same as when I stop it, how to fix

    Hello

    I have HP DV6 - 2130ca. I recently had a bug that were not work my quick commands. A support forum, I got to know that if I take my batteries for laptops and power and press the power for 30 seconds he'll fix it. Well, he got the problem solved but since then I am having a problem.

    Whenever I turn on my laptop, time is the same as when I stopped him. For example, if I 'Shut Down' or 'Sleep' at 2: 00 and turn it on, to 17:00, the time would still be 14:00 on laptop.  I tried Googling and found a lot of answers slightly different questions on several support forums by using the Task Scheduler to schedule a task to update time only every 5 min etc, but that did not work.

    If I update manually time using time settings Internet, set time until I turned off my laptop or put it to sleep.

    Please help me. Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    I have a portable BB09 Ultra extended battery HP that Piggy-Back with the laptop to provide some extra work time. I turn it on between laptops.

    It works by releasing all of first/front that the internal battery is used.

    When the internal battery charge first, after that the extra battery pack fees.

    Suddenly, the logic is reversed.

    The battery is fully charged, but the original battery is discharged first.

    0% when the battery inside the notebook dies instantly without the usual warnings (10%, 6% left).

    The extended battery pack provides no power even if it is fully charged.

    It appears to have happened after that a windows update, but are there not always updated. . ?

    If someone have experienced this before? Or would he know how to "reset" the loading sequence?

    Do mind that this can happen. This battery is expensive.

    Thanks for any info.

    To get your question more exposure I suggest you post in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do to commercial Forums.

    Even if it is a Commercial product, here is a link to to test the battery.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 H 2-1 hour battery drains

    Hello

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 H 2 2-3 weeks. Sound obtained by T5440 Core3Duo, 2 GB of RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600GT 256 dedicated (up to 1025 with turbomemory).
    I am aware that I got a fairly good CPU and GPU and they cost power.

    But is this normal when POWER safe mode on my battery drains completely in a little more than 1 hour?

    Elwin

    Hello

    Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop!
    But as far as I know the A200 runs approximately 1.15 hours on battery

    In addition, the laptop came with a standard battery.
    If you need more power, you should buy a stronger battery with 6000mAh or higher.

  • Laptop battery does not load when the computer is turned on.

    Hello

    Yesterday, I was using my laptop when I noticed that the battery was going down. It seemed to be a card problem, because there are two lights on the laptop.

    A: light connection light signals that the power cord is connected.

    B: light Charge light signals that the battery is charging.

    The two lights were turned off.

    In my school, we have the same adapters for small Netbook computers. I borrowed one of these Chargers with the consent of the School technicians.

    When I plugged in the charger again, my cell phone was off. Light A and B are on. I tried to turn on my computer, but it would not. I unplugged the adapter and the battery and hold the power button for a minute. I plugged my charger, but it won't always turn. I plugged my battery as well and noticed lights B. The battery is being charged. I unplugged the adapter and tried to turn on my laptop. It worked. Fires had been arrested, the battery was in, and it worked.

    However, when I plug in the adapter, A light lights and light B does not work. When it connects, the battery symbol changes for charging symbol, but only for a few seconds. He then returned on the normal battery symbol. When it shows the symbol plugged, it is said "plugged in, not charging."

    When I stopped or do it in mode 'sleep' - the operating system is not running, the light and B turn on the adapter with the battery connected. When it lights up, the battery has increased significantly in charge.

    Can someone help me please? I can't run for more than 2 hours at a time - and it's after 1 hour charge.

    Looks like the load Board is bad inside the PC.
