Novice probably stupid power supply laptop power issue

I have a Tecra A4 and I have what is probably a silly question.

When the battery is running down what to cut first laptop before connecting it to the power of the transformer or can I just plug the / click on the talk button while the phone is still on?

Hi Bill,

It is completely safe for your laptop to be plugged in, while it is still running on the battery. internal Electronics will take care of the passage back to the mains and your laptop power management software will change based on your settings.

Normally, it is recommended that you remove the battery (when fully charged) when running on the current, although generally, I leave my just in case a power outage.

Kind regards

  • Super Speed USB 3.0 Docking Station - no power supply laptop?

    Laptop is on and plugged in the docking station which is "powered".  Connection to the monitor / keyboard and mouse is fine, however I am surprised to see a less power - plug is soon message.  Docking station is not supposed to power the laptop?

    In fact, I think that what makes a docking station for a docking station, because it is a device that actually connects to a docking port. Thus the name docking station. A usb port isn't a docking port. A docking port is a single port that provides many pine so different protocols such as video, audio, usb, and Yes power etc. all have their own connections so that they can operate at their full potential. A docking port is not a conversion of many protocols for a usb signal, then try to cram two ways between the pins a lot less. And saw that all the "docking ports" as far as I know, have connectors to supply them, I do not see how Dell calling a port replicator a "floor" could confuse someone. I don't think whether a good faith error or another, simply tactical knaves in the marketing department to take advantage of what people believe to be a docking port so that they can make a nickel. Think that a wharf shipping, with access full power, fuel, water, sewer connections, the whole shebang. But rather a boat anchor so that you can anchor your boat to the coast, so take your time waiting on what ever ashore ship transport boats you can find the basket with a limited amount of resources via a limited method.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones loading very slowly via USB power supply laptop

    When I use the wall charger, my fine storm costs.

    But if I connect it with the sync cable to my laptop - laptop is turned on with the BB Desktop software running (and I can confirm that I have a backup of the BB Desktop software then the drivers seem to work), the storm is charging is very very very slowly or not at all.

    Is it supposed to load OK via USB to the laptop power?  How can I go on troubleshooting this?

    Your question is not a problem, but normal and the answer "why" is simple. Wall charger puts out simply more power that the USB port on your laptop needs to (or can). In general, any single USB port is 100-150mA (and can be lower if your running on batteries and the system is allowed to control the ports), while the wall charger is to switch off a little more (700mA)... constantly.

    Not to mention that when connected to the laptop there is communication that passes between the device and the computer, especially if you use the Desktop Manager, which makes peripheral 'work' and try to reload at the same time. Sometimes the ' workload ' can be greater than the rate of charge, so why he does not pay at all.

    IMHO, load your device with the supplied charger. Only use your computer to charge your device in case of emergency. If you insist on charging the system with your laptop... Plug in your laptop computer, close the Desktop Manager and Device Manager and it should load a bit faster.

  • Unplug the power to the laptop causing issues of java.

    When I unplug the power cord from my Dell D630 I am unable to run some Oracle applications using java.  Parts of the screen (including the sidebar) seems to blink and does not at all what I'm typing.  If I reconnect the power cord stops flashing and the Oracle application session begins to work very well.  My research leads me to believe that the Aero theme is involved. Running Vista SP2 and Oracle Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.  I've upgraded to the new java but no help. If the computer laptop cord is plugged it all works fine.

    Any ideas?

    Hi gdoogle1,

    Oracle Jinitiator 1.3.1.22 seems to be compatible with Windows XP, 2003 & 2000.

    You may need to download Oracle Jinitiator 1.5.0_06 which is compatible with windows vista, see the link below:

  • Locked my self out of my power supply laptop on password

    Dear Tech,

    I had set the administrator password (a few years) and the power on password. I have always used the administrator password. This morning, I decided to disable it (clear the administrator password) which I did without problem.

    When I start the laptop now he asks the power on password that I don't remember.

    I get the following code: 71417940

    Can you help me?

    Hello

  • Satellite L50 - B - 21 G: abandon WLan connection / power issue

    I bought my laptop about six weeks ago and its driving me crazy. I could be sitting with him and suddenly I lose the internet connection, I try to reconnect, but cannot as he seems to have "abandoned" the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter. I'm not very irritable but sees someone else has had this problem and follow a few instructions to restore the previous driver for the network adapter, but it just made things worse.

    In addition, I can never turn my laptop. If I choose the "shut down" option then it turns off, but there is always a light flashing around the power button. I heard he's going a few hybrid sleep, but I had instructions to stop this, but again its happening. I can't just press the power button to restart the laptop it restarts with the loss of the network adapter (see above), so I sit in pressing and holding the button several times until it restarts finally with the back working network adapter.

    If I just stopped the lid (as I applied this option overall upwards), then three hours I can just return, press a button and begin to work, however, once again, I can not because the network adapter is down and I have to then push and hold the power button (that choose shut down doesn't seem to work).

    This laptop was designed to replace an old ADVENT that caused me grief, but I'm done with nothing else than a box of junk that I want to throw. Worse yet, I'm not at all way techy am so not able to do what many of you can do to correct problems so I tried to find a phone number to call Toshiba and never get an option to type in what is my problem and then follow the online help that I tried and does not work! Y at - there someone who can give me a number for Toshiba that I can call for help if I need help more than anybody can give me here? Thank you.

    I have already answered in another thread with the similar question of Wlan and I guess it could be a related issue of energy saving:

    Reach:
    Windows power options - choose the right central - advanced power options.
    Search of the WLan card settings and set it to "best performance".
    You must also set the parameters for the PCI express for the 'best performance '.

    In addition, go to the Device Manager. Choose here the Wlan card properties
    Switch to the last tab called "Power Management" and make sure that the option available in this tab is not checked!

    OK, here's the problem: battery led (blue), AC disconnected. Turn on (absolutely no hard disk activity)

    See attached picture + 30 seconds of video...

    7 MB video = http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=294ns6r&s=4

    Here's what I tried...

    Removing the battery
    Remove and put back in place the two sticks of RAM
    Withdrawal of one of the sticks of RAM, a start in (and vice versa)
    Withdrawal of the DVD player
    Hold the power button for 20 seconds to evacuate the residule power, then plug back
    Holding the Fn key and pressing the power button
    Holding the 0 key and pressing the power button
    Still nothing...

    I hope you guys can help out me? Tomorrow I'm going to disassemble the laptop, maybe there is a blocked fan and this is a heat issue? or otherwise perhaps the power button is somehow disconnected?

    I downloaded and printed the disassembly instructions

    Please help me!

    Hello

    Looks like a serious problem.
    But for the first time, try this:

    -Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
    -Wait about 20-30 min
    -Reconnect the two parts and try to turn on the laptop

    If it is not possible to power the laptop then the problem must be related to a serious hardware problem and only the ASP would be able to help you and to see what's exactly wrong with the machine.

  • HP Z620 - Geforce 970 black screen of death - power issues?

    I have a 970 GF who requires a 8 pin and a pcie 6pin as the Z820 than 2x6pin supports, I used an adpater 6-> 8

    I read somewhere that the 6-pin HP Z620 will deliver more 150W then which is the rated power for a 8 pin

    now I have the problem that in some games that Black on my screen will start and I can still hear some sounds, but basically, I need to reset the PC then

    In these games it happens all of the time for example GTA V

    other games is very well

    I already found the problem and the solution

    This is not a GF970 issue sound display a question of my HP envy32 media

    I guess when there is no signal over a short period that it is pass to other off-line entries

    I have disabled the automatic switching

    solution for my black screen was just reselct hdmi on media view or turn the display off media / it

  • Video card power power issue

    I bought a Sapphire Radeon R7 260 X 2 GB GDDR5 HDMI/DVI-I/DP OC Version PCI-Express graphics card and went to install in my HP p7-1206 Pavilion, only to discover that it requires a dedicated offshore feeding power supply.  To solve this problem I bought a Corsair CX series 600 Watt Power Supply CX600M and installed on the same computer.  Since I installed these two components, I had problem when you turn on the power.  Case fan does not turn on, lights up the fan on the graphics card and the CPU fan turns on (but the CPU fan is running at a VERY high speed and you can hear it).  If I play with the power connector 4pin on e point of the motherboard, the machine will start and run without problems... This isn't just to get to that is the concern.   After talking to HP and Corsair (both saying it was faulty equipment of the other company), I discovered this seems to be a bad conection of the 4 connector pins on the motherboard (the corsair has a connector 8 pins, which intones two apart 4 connectors to the motherboard). I have discussed all simply replace the motherboard and see if that will solve all the problems, go with an ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6 Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel motherboard, only I don't want to keep throwing money at this machine hoping to fix the problem... advice?  Don't you think that it is the PSU, graphics card or motherboard?

    OK, got the new MSI Geforce 650Ti. Installed and have no problem.  Computer turns on perfectly.

    I guess that there are no beeps.

    Try the following, if you are comfortable working around computers:

    Note: The only 100% POWER supply test method, is to install a known working power.

    Unplug the power cord, hold the power button in for about 15-20 seconds, open the case, disconnect the power connector 24-pin motherboard and jumping the Green wire to one of the black wires, reconnect the power cord and the power of the system, so supply, case fans and disk hard drive run, then the power supply should be good.

    Note: Do not remove the wires from the plug, use a small piece of wire or a paper clip as a rider.

    Excerpt from power supply, again, unplug the power cord, hold the power button again for 15/20 seconds to discharge residual power, reconnect the connector 24 pin to the motherboard.

    Remove all the computer PCI cards, remove the video card [as appropriate], disconnect all devices, except the monitor, mouse and keyboard and unplug cable power & data of all readers.

    Reconnect the power cord and power the system on, see if you get a different indication of the LED on the power button / stop, or 'beeps '.

    No difference, remove the system memory and try again.

    Still shows no signs of life while looking at a motherboard replacement & maybe a processor.

    Note: The good news is, processors lack rarely, being the only method I know to check a processor, install a compatible work PC, or use a known job processing.

  • 2504 power issues - is this the same brick used on an ASA?

    I have a 2504, that does not illuminate. No led on the front.  Seems to have power over the brick.

    Can question - I use an ASA 5505 power on these too?  They also have a 48V power supply and the plug is the same. Just do not know if the + and - are the same pins and no meter autour.

    The answer is 'yes' but I won't be held responsible if something were to happen.
