• Acer V5 - 571P says "plugged in, not charging" and battery LED flashes orange from time to time.

  Laptop didn't work when it's plugged in and the battery says "plugged in, not charging." Battery LED also flashes a few times from time to time, so I don't know if it's a circuit board problem or the battery itself.

  I tried updated driver battery without success.

  You can try to unplug the power and remove the battery. Press and hold power for 30 seconds, Plug and see if it is supported.

• HP 8710W (p/n: GT648PA #ABG): 8710W does not start - the battery light flashes orange 7 times then 1 green.

  Troubleshooting done so far: I removed (even the RTC) battery, hard drive and memory. Hold the power button for 30 sec.

  When I re - install the battery and press the power button, it flashes 7 times orange, and then Green 1. Same thing happens with or without the power supply is connected.

  The laptop does well (no fan, no disc doesn't sound etc.) and the screen stays off (i.e. no splash screen).

  I thought it was a dead battery, as it was 8 + years, so bought a new replacement. Unfortunately, there no fixed and I still have the same problems with the new battery.

  How to decode what mean hot flashes?

  What else can we test it before I bin the laptop? I would have preferred not to do so as he has been a full rock performer and the 17 "display is fantastic as a desktop replacement.

  Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Unfortunately, this seems to be a motherboard problem. After eight years of service, it is left for a digital camera never never land.

  Unfortunately, it's time to bin and source of a replacement book.

  You can retrieve data from the hard drive using a cable or a drive enclosure hard usb 2.5 ".

  I understand your disappointment. Workstations are portable very special and very expensive to replace.

  Hello

  Check with support from the manufacturer of their books online and the drivers and their forums system
  (as applicable) for known issues. Some manufacturer issued BIOS and other updates to help the battery
  problems.

  Control Panel control - plan change Options - power plans - power - advanced settings
  Parameters for the drainage and the use of parameters (this is how much to use and not how much or how)
  long to load).

  In fact, what causes a lot of wear on a battery empties it too low on several occasions. With today
  systems overload are not a problem.

  Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery issues.

  Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
  eraser (do not use this, if your battery is fine slots - just clean up the edges of the knife which fit in)
  them and be careful). Batteries are old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
  Check with the support of the machine system, and many of them have on line forums.

  New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload then less than 30%
  However on a laptop that not extend their life a lot. Best is to use the a/c adapter
  When this is possible.

  I use the free version of BatteryBar to monitor my battery. Click on the green button on the
  Yellow box on the right side of the page to download the latest stable version.

• Touchpad problem - running on battery power, does not work when it is connected.

  Laptop Toshiba with Vista. The Synaptics touch pad battery power works fine. When it is plugged in, it freezes.  Disconnect the power supply and back to the battery and everything is fine.  That's happened?  How can I get the touchpad to work in both modes of power?

  I played with power options, and there is nothing specific to the touchpad.  Setting the power of USB has no effect either. This laptop (Toshiba A505 series) is up-to-date with all service packs, etc.

  Hi mravitz,

  You need to maybe uninstall and reinstall the Synaptics drivers installed on the system.

  Uninstall and reinstall the Synaptics drivers.

  a. Click Start, point to settings and then click Control Panel.

  b. double-click system click on hardware and then click Device Manager.

  c. expand the device, and then double-click the Synaptics driver.

  d. click on the driver tab and click on uninstall

  e. restart the computer and check

• Portege R500-10J: not possible to watch movies - colors screen too dark

  Hello!

  I recently bought a Portege R500-10J and have a pretty bad problem - I can not watch every movie (DVD or *.avi or anyone else) here. All media are invisible on the screen. Its too dark and some colors are recorded.

  I have no problem with all office applications, or browsing the internet, the colors are perfect for screen 12.1 inch, but using any application media is almost impossible.

  Didn't help not change any settings. The colors are extremely poor. I have not install anything but this was while the computer is first.

  Anyone know - is it a hardware problem (video card) or software (drivers, codecs, sth else), or it is a normal phenomenon?

  Hope it can be fixed. This laptop is supposed to be used for watching movies on a trip...

  To be honest, it is not easy to understand your problem. I guess you use battery power while traveling. In this case, intelligence tool will probably switch to energy saving mode. In this case, the display brightness will increase at a lower level.

  You can set it to the highest level by using the FN + F7 key combination. Be sure that the screen is in the right direction (90 degrees from your eyes).

• WARNING: Your computer is running on battery power...

  HP G72-227wm laptop
  WIN 7
  Pentium Dual Core CPU
  64 bit OS.

  Has had HD failure, could perform a recovery. Contacted HP and ordered the recovery of disk.
  Drive arrived today, buy a new HD as well as a battery.
  Put the new HD and the battery in the computer and disc 1 of the set of recovery disks.
  Start the computer, brought windows loading, the Recovery Manager, then came...

  WARNING: Your computer is running on battery. This process requires the computer to be connected on current alternative. Connect your computer to the current alternative. and then click OK to continue.

  Of course the computer is plugged, I changed the Socket 3 times. When the power is disconnected there is no light next to the AC port. Supply port, then orange white light.
  HP tech says it's because that its battery CHARGE.
  side note - after being on the charger, the light is now constant white. Assuming that the new battery is now completely charged.* *.

  I tried the following sequences with the tech:

  Unplug > take out battery > connect the PC with 1 disk of all recovery > reboot > same caveat:

  Unplug > out battery > pressed the power button on battery for 40 seconds > reinsert the battery > connect the PC with 1 disk of all recovery > reboot > same caveat:

  After a considerable time on the phone, the tech said that my computer is obsolete and are no longer usable by HP and advised to take it to a local computer store.

  It wasn't a problem before the failure of the HD. I hope someone can help.

  Thank you

  In fact, it was the power cord. I took it to the local Micro Center, they plugged the cord in and out we went. So for $ 38 on the recovery.

• Portege R500 does not start from the XP CD

  My basic problem is the following - I have a Portege r500 with Vista on it. I'm moving from Vista to XP Pro, but when I put a bootable XP installation CD in the drive, it turns, looking around for awhile and then I get a blank screen with a cursor blinking on it.

  Now, I've done this before, so I know that something is supposed to happen, but nothing don't. And I tried 3 well-known installation CD, is not a problem of CD. Do I need some update BIOS/firmware to boot from the CD on this thing? Or am I missing something?

  Help!

  Thank you.

  Often the Portege R500 should be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive and should begin the procedure of installation of the CD Win XP SP2 installation.

  But it is a tricky thing.
  The Portege R500 needs an Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM). This iMSM is necessary to recognize the HARD drive and install Win Xp on the HARD drive.

  I recommend you and create a new CD of Win XP starting with software called nLite to integrate the SP2 of Microsoft and Intel Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM) in Win XP.

  You can then use this CD for installation.

• Portege R500 does not show the Groove 2007 calendar tool

  Hi all

  As a newbie, I met the following problem with MS Office Groove 2007 on a newly purchased R500.
  Windows XP Pro SP3, Office 2007 Ultimate

  Use the Groove 2007 calendar tool to coordinate meetings with my colleagues, but the R500 does not show the calendar.
  Tried it on all my computers and it works fine except on the Porege R500.

  Please let know us if anyone has experienced the same problem or if there is a solution before I turn to MS (hate doing that)

  Thanks Aliza

  Hello

  Maybe you should remove the SP3 and must try to reinstall again on the Portégé R500 using only SP2.

  Did you also check if there is some compatibility issues between the MS Groove 2007 and already installed programs?

  Please check this!

  Anyone had this problem or ideas.

  Hi guys

  The laptop is covered by the warranty and all replacements to be free!
  The battery warranty is valid for 12 months (a year). To take it!

  Contact the Toshiba authorised service provider in your country and explain the situation as a whole.
  I think that the guys are very useful and should help you!

  Important notice:
  I found useful information on the homepage of European support of Toshiba.

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support downloads & -> support home page-> Product Updates-> update: voluntary battery Toshiba trade-in program

  You will find a small utility BatteryCheck software which could help to identify if the battery is affected or not.

  Guys good luck!

AP power seems good however it provides compatible 19, 94V. What's wrong? Thanks, Ales

  Hello @AlesR ,

  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.

  Plug the power supply directly to a wall outlet works. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.

  Thank you.
