Plugged not charging - laptop does not work on battery

I have a Lenovo laptop running Windows 7 less than a year.  But it does not work on battery now.  Battery level icon said: ' 87% available (plugged in, does not support).  Multiple, several times I tried to remove and re - insert the battery, restarting, uninstalling the 'Compatible Microsoft ACPI Control method battery' driver through the device, new material to re Analysis Manager - find the battery and re-install the driver, over and over again.  Nothing works for me--and if I unplug the AC adapter, the laptop just dies instantly.  Basically, it is as if the computer can see the battery, knows it is there and has the power, but don't give her a load or pull everything current.  What is the reference for this?  Anyone?  Help, please!  Thank you.

  • Envy 15 Gen2 will not work on battery / battery won't charge

    Bought a Gen2 envy 15 in April 2010. A few months ago the laptop turns off after maybe 90 minutes on battery. At the beginning I thought it was just the battery loses capacity. A few weeks later, he stops after only 30 minutes on the battery, so I watched the battery more carefully. Several diagnoses show that the battery is fine (still holds more than 99% of the original capacity), so it must be something else. Now, the laptop does not work on battery power at all - I can only turn it on when it is plugged. Everyone knows this?

    I opened the laptop to eliminate the accumulation of dust, and it was fine for a while after that, then I'm sure that I don't miss anything when reassembling it later.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Have you noticed something strange with LED power control? It is also possible that the electronic power supply do troubled. Try to talk with authorized Toshiba and explain the situation. If you open only one Notepad, uneducated, it may be simply worse.

    Graphics card cannot be updated as on desktop computers. I put t know how it is on this model laptop but the graphics card is fixed on the motherboard and cannot be traded.

  • Apple tv remote trackpad not work-low battery

    I created my new 4th generation Apple TV out of the box using the remote control. Everything was fine with the remote control.

    Then, two hours later, when I went to use the remote control it would not work. The apple TV was ok with my iPhone remotely. I realized that the battery was low. is this normal with a new right distance out of the box. I now have it on royalties for the recommended 9 hours.

    I now note, while the load and rate reduced the trackpad on the remote does not respond to my fingers to scroll up and down, but will respond to clicks.

    Is this normal for a low battery indicator?  I hope so. I will update post to 9 hours.

    The remote control will not be loaded completely out of the box, it is always a good idea to completely load the devices before using for the first time.

  • Quad dv6t-7200 envy: laptop does not work without battery

    The computer will run on battery but battery does not charge when it is plugged.  However, the battery may charge if I turn off the computer or if I close the lid.  In addition, the computer does not at all with the battery removed and just the power supply plugged.  So, I know the power supply work it will charge the battery if the computer is off, but it would be nice if it would charge when the computer is turned on.  I also tried the "hard reset" procedure, but it failed.  The charged battery (9-cell Li ion) can run several hours depending on usage.

    Hi @gdpuffs

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand you are having some problems with the laptop battery, or it turn on/off with the battery removed.

    You connect via the electrical bar/surge?

    Have you tried to connect directly to a wall outlet, or a wall outlet different, to try to eliminate the possible problems power connection?

  • 4030cdt - battery charged but does not work on battery

    Hi, I upgraded my laptop to 190 MB of ram and the latest version of the bios, installed a 20 GB drive and am currently running windows xp.
    Since put xp, I lost the battery monitor utility.

    Hello

    I HAVE A TOSHIBA SATELLITE C55A (PSCG8E).

    AFTER THAT THE BATTERY FULLY CHARGED WHEN I UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTER OFF THE COMPUTER.
    I HAVE ALREADY CHANGED THE BATTERY AND NOW I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

    ANY UPDATE OF THE BIOS FOR THIS PROBLEM?

    Something like that shouldn't happen, not on all new laptop.
    > HAVE ALREADY CHANGED THE BATTERY
    What did you do exactly? You have new battery from your local dealer?

    In General, this should not happen, and in my opinion, you should ask for new machine if you can get a. Otherwise, I think you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
    In my view BIOS has nothing to do with it.
