MS A30 - battery charging when I plug in the power cable

Hello

I'm having some problems with (I think) on my A30 power management utility. When I am running on battery power and I plug in the power cable, the battery continues to discharge even if the laptop 'knows' that it runs on the power grid (ie the utility says "current generator: alternating current.") "Online, discharges: 82%. Strangely, if I put the laptop in mode 'sleep', then resume, she goes back to normal (i.e. working on current alternative, the battery charges).

It is true, I think that this began after I installed "PC Pitstop optimize Scan" www.pcpitstop.com (please, not conferences - I used a couple of their public services before and they were very good, so I thought it would be too much), so I guess it's some sort of configuration problem, but I have no idea where to go from here. I went through all the options on the power management utility, but they all look sensitive. Any ideas (other than do not install software stupid, doubtful)?

Hi Kenny,

I experienced this behavior on my A30 where the system says it works on current alternative, but still drains the battery and stops eventually.

In my case the problem has proved to be a loose DC Jack that sometimes cuts off contact with the socket on the back of the laptop. This momentary loss of power DC seems to provoke the power management utility switch to battery power, even though the DC power is restored. The only way out of this situation is to Hibernate / restarting the laptop.

I think that it is a problem with the power supply subsystem in the laptop that does not react properly when it encounters a momentary loss of DC. Then the Toshiba power management utility is no longer responds correctly and switches to the battery power.

My only solution to this was to anchor the DC cable to the back of my A30 so that there is now no chance of the plug DC moving in its socket. This has proved to be very effective for my A30 and I've had no recurrence of the problem.

  • Color scheme changing based whenever I plug in the power cable

    Hi, recently I have a very annoying problem.

    Whenever I plug or on the power cable the entire screen "blinks" a few times, shows a ToolTip really fast (I caught with a print screen and it says: "the color scheme was changed to Windows 7 Basic.) A running program is not compatible with certain Visual elements of Windows. Click here for more information. ("I can't click as it closes quickly) and then the screen is back to normal.

    Well, it's kind of normal. Open windows are becoming fully optimized not and if I'm on youtube then the video becomes really small, but if I reduce the window and open it again then it's good.

    It wasn't really a problem for me until yesterday when it happens again and became a black chrome, which has been opened until I plugged in the cable, and it took a few minutes before it returned to normal (unless I closed and opened again).

    I tried already in the system-> performance options properties to select the 'Adjust to improve the appearance"and it did not work.

    Unfortunately, I see no option here to post a screenshot of that.

    In any case, I have HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I have enough disk space in my computer and the programs that are open, when I do this are usually office (word or excel for most) and chrome.

    What can I do to fix this annoying problem?

    Try these:

    1 make sure that your graphics driver is up to date. Check the HP website for the latest drivers.

    2. make sure that the power plan that you use is not set to Power Saver. To check, go to Control Panel > system and security > Power Options.

    3. make sure that your computer has enough memory when you unplug the power cable. To check, do a right-click the taskbar, click Task Manager, and under the performance tab, verify the amount of memory is used. If it is more than 70%, you are running low on memory. Try closing some programs and then see if the problem persists.

    4. run the Aero troubleshooter. See this link for instructions: Open the Aero Troubleshooter.

    My laptop (presario CQ20-320TU) turn directly every time I plug the power cord without battery. What is the solution?

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

    I understand that your notebook is turn on/off automatically when it is plugged. I'm happy to help you.

    I would recommend that you look at your BIOS, especially in power options and check if your BIOS has a setting option on automatically. If yes it change at your convenience.  Another option would be to update your BIOS and see if that solves it.

    Here is the page of support for your model and, if necessary, give it a try, it will automatically download the file if you click on the link. You then need to run the executable file of your current download folder.

  • My battery stopped charging. For four days, the power button says "59% available (plugged in, does not support)."

    * Original title: charging the battery

    My battery stopped charging. For four days, the power button says "59% available (plugged in, does not support)."

    How can I get the computer to start the battery again?

    The battery is probably faulty. You can say as follows:

    1. Shut down Windows.
    2. Remove the battery.
    3. Wait an hour.
    4. The power supply is cold? If Yes, then the laptop consumes no power (which is normal).
    5. Insert the battery.
    6. Wait an hour.
    7. The power supply is hot? If so, the battery is recharged.
    8. Start normally and check the charge level. If she's still around 59% while the battery no longer accepts the full load. You need to replace it.
  • the power cable must be plugged or removed after fully charging the battery?

    Is there a problem with do not remove the power cable, after that the battery is fully charged on the Alien ware M17XR4?. In other words do fine even if the power cable is not disconnected once the battery is fully charged on the M17XR4?. Advice needed please.

    Most of the Lithium batteries are 'Smart Batteries' these days. It is a smart charging circuit.

    These means that they can detect when they are fully charged and continues to load (for some reason, so they do not over heat or explode).

    You can see in Windows that battery knows when she is fully charged (and cargo stops).

    However, I still like to bike (or run on battery... up to 30% or more) at least twice a month.

    It of not possible to control the battery charge using any software.
    The battery will begin to charge if the adapter has been connected to the laptop and it will stop the charge process after the adapter has been disconnected or if the battery is full.

    There is more support for iPhoto from Apple.  You must update iPhoto 9.5.1 with the Mavericks. It would work well, only it is no longer buying this update to Apple.

    It is very likely.  If iPhoto work very well when you are offline, then your problems will be caused by the connection failed to Googles servers.

  • my screen goes black when I plug in my HDMI cable

    I have never had a problem with the help of my my TV HDMI cable to watch movies from my laptop.  I do not know whether the windows update is causing this problem, but when I plug in my HDMI cable to my laptop, the screen goes black and the TV receives no signal.

Later I selected "change pc settings" section of charms and the selected tab devices add a device and while the laptop was looking I have connected the hdmi cable. This is how I got to the TV screen.
    probably, you will need to turn off the TV and the laptop first. Then put on the tv and select the desired hdmi option before you put on the laptop and pressing on the ' logo window + p "or"fn + f4"keys. Lets c if it works

  • B40-30 screen fades on W10 when the power cable is plugged

    Hi all!
    Couple B40-30 weeks bought it y a. upgrade to Windows Home 64-bit 10, then did a clean install of W10. Installed all the drivers required from the Lenovo site.
    After that (I don't remember what it was like before the clean install) I faced the problem: when I plug in the adapter the screen turns black (gray). When I unplug the cable screens becomes visible. Laptop is not actually usable while it is on the power grid.
    I suspect that there is something wrong with the power management settings.
    Any help would be kindly apreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    Well, updated the BIOS. Problem ended. However - Thanks for the help and good luck!

    Original title: BAD USB

    I have an Acer netbook. I was able to download my photos from my computer on a USB key until a few days ago. When I plug in the USB on my netbook and you want to open, it tells me that there is no disc in the drive?  Why does it say this?

    Thank you for your time in doing

    Hey Toni-LeeFurlotte,

    ·         Have you tried to connect to a different USB port?

    Method 1: Try to connect the USB key to a different port on the netbook and check the issue. You can also connect the drive to another computer and see if the problem persists.

    Method 2: Update of the netbook with the latest chipset drivers. In addition, install other updates of the device driver. Log in the Web site of the manufacturer to do the same thing.

    Method 3: This problem can also occur if there is a drive letter conflict. A drive letter conflict occurs if the disk that is affected by the error is mapped to a reserved drive letter. I suggest you try to change the drive letter.

  • HELMET No. Smartphones blackBerry icon when I plug in the BB Bold 9900 helmet. Help, please!

    Hello

    I just got my new BB bold 9900. Has updated the OS to v7.1.714. Now I see not a helmet on the homescreen icon when I plug the headphones of BB. Although I get sound when I plug from the 3.5 mm plug.

    Another issue is when I receive a call I am not able to hear the call, ringing on the headset, rather that I hear from the speaker as I would when no headset is plugged.

    I heard that it is a common problem when an upgrade of the OS is made. Is there a solution? Help, please!

    Hello crazygamerg7,

    Welcome to the BlackBerry support community.

    Thank you for your question about the helmet on the BlackBerry 7.1 software feature.

    The headphones icon should only appear in within the phone application and not on the home screen when connected and on a call.

    The ringtone will also go through the speakers of the device and not on taking 3.5 mm connected headphones. This is normal.

  • Satellite C660 - 115 WLan connection only works when the power cable is connected

    Hello

    A few weeks ago, I bought a Satellite C660-115. I want to surf the internet anywhere in my house without any son/cables.
    On the first day, I had this problem: when I disconnect _power_ cable, the wireless connection will stop working.

    The Web page on my screen will always be there, but a new page loading is a problem.
    It is sometimes useful to recharge (by pressing F5), - sometimes not. It is always useful to "ip address of repair", but not for long.

    The only solution is to atach regardless of how much power the battery has still the power cord.
    When I do, it is no problem whith the connection at all.
    I went back to the store where I bought it, they related to their own wireless network and they have had the same problem after a few minutes. In the shop too attach the power cable solved the problem.

    So the problem must be in my lap top, not in my network (modem or almost).

    Doesn't this all seem familiar, and if so, how can I solve this?

    I hope that my English is understandable, I live in Holland.
    Thanks in advance!
