Problem with the Gateway using Vista laptop battery

Hi all

I've had this laptop Gateway for a year now and I have had this strange problem with it probably a good 3 months to own. Basically the little thing of battery indicator on the bottom right of the task bar will say "plugged in, not charging" while the laptop is plugged. So this is my little ghetto rig which leads me to believe that is not the battery or the charger which gives me the trouble.

While the laptop is plugged in, and moan about there is no life left blah blah, I pop the battery and back in. Hop, I magically have full battery and be able to unplug the laptop for mobile use.

I've read a lot online that it is a Vista problem, that I am running, and not a hardware problem. I would really like to know if this is true, because I am a student and prefer not spend the precious material fixing money when this is not the problem. As stated earlier, cell phone charges when it is plugged in, it SAID only that it does not load. When I pop the battery, it works fine until the next time that the battery is exhausted and then I plug it in and have to redo the same platform of ghetto.

It's just a little a downside to keep popping up that darn battery in and out, and frankly, I don't think it's good for the laptop to keep doing this, even if it's worked for me for about 7-8 months now.

Can someone please offer information about this weird issue?

Thank you very much.

Why my battery portable MD Gateway or Gateway MC series doesn't load at 100%?

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    I repeated my mouse HP remotely when you use this computer because I always found difficult to use trackpad. On the use of the touchpad, he sometimes goes out of control with the scaling and scrolling text selection. I checked the driver to find she had the latest recommended driver. I walked into its configuration in the control panel with the intention to disable but can find no choice. I need two points of orientation:

    1. are there clear instructions on how to use it? (still not found)

  • I have the problem with the time in my laptop

    Hello everyone,

    I have issue with the time, whenever I stop my laptop for 2-3 hours. He return to date 01/01/2006 12:00 AM

    What should I do?

    Hello

    Did your laptop more than a few years old?

    The symptom you describe occurs when the battery that powers the CMOS BIOS chip wears.

    The CMOS battery is responsible for providing voltage to the CMOS chip so that he remembers actually all parameters, including the time and date, that have been defined.

    Replacing the CMOS battery is pretty simple in a standard OEM desktop PC. Unplug the unit. Open the case locate the quarter size battery. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. Plug in power and start the PC and set the time and date and accept the default settings. That's about all there is to it.

    Replacing the CMOS battery in a laptop requires generally a bit of disassembly of sequential parts just to get to the battery. Not all laptops are, but most are like this.

    I recommend that you have the CMOS battery, replaced by a HP authorized repair center.

    Kind regards

  • Problems with the audio using Hulu on Apple TV

    We meet a few important issues in streaming Hulu through Apple TV. The problem is with the audio. When we start a new episode of a television show, frequently, there is no audio data. The audio plays fine during the advertising leading up to the episode, but then he went to the start of the episode itself. Last night, for example, we tried to watch an episode of Casual. No sound. I restarted the same episode 3 times (which meant, annoyingly, I had to attend the same ad 3 times), and each time it was audio at the announcement, but then no sound during the episode. I unplugged Apple TV, wait a minute and plugged in. Choose the same episode and had the same problem.

    Before last night, we were sometimes able to get audio on Hulu content, but it is seldom worked without similar problems - there is no audio data, or sometimes there will be audio briefly but then it disappears. We will not experience this problem streaming other services by the Apple TV, such as Netflix, HBO or with iTunes media. Any advice?

    It is a second generation Apple TV, purchased in September 2010.

    Exactly the same problem with Hulu here on ATV2. Its been like that for months and only getting worse. Also, randomly that it recharges during playback. If you can spend the first few minutes of couple of a show (by the start/stop several times) it will play the rest of the show OK.

  • Question about problem with the file using a clipping mask

    I use Photoshop CS6.  I bought a digital frame with a mask of clipping on Etsy.   When I go to insert the image in the image using the clipping mask image continues to show through the edges of the image (as pictured).  I tried blocking layer, but it does not work.  Any suggestions?20140925_184509.jpg

    Try this, 2 layer moving below 3 attach them.

    Hang out with the selection tool ellipse a circle that encompasses the area which should show the image

    Create a mask for the form (make sure the shape layer is selected {now layer 2 to 3} click the icon at the bottom of the layers panel that looks like a circle inside a square)

    You should now see your image.

    If you get stuck, you can capture your screen to show your progress.

    Tips for the selection tool:

    You can hold the SHIFT key to constrain to a circle

    You can hold the ALT key to draw a selection of its center circle,

    You can hold both modifier key for a perfect circle drawn in the Center.

    Finally you can hold down the SPACEBAR to move the selection before you release the mouse button.

  • Huge problem with the system on my laptop Acer s7-391 acer recovery disk

    Hi all, I'm really desperate as my laptop have stopped working for the weeks and I need it back

    First question: I installed the window 10 free upgrade successfully, however, I decided to restore the laptop through the window 10 plant factory restore Start menu because there were a lot of unnecessary files and after the window factory restore, I am unable to start again under the window and I get an error message says "no bootable device detected" and the computer goes into a reboot loop no way to factory restore to new outside the window. I try to reset the battery several times and nothing works!

    Second question: I received my acer restore disk that I got from the acer site because I didn't not create recovery media to when my window was working. So I pop the disk with a usb CD-ROM and I was able to get into recovery by the disc menu. However, when I try to choose the option of disk factory restore, he said to start from legacy mode. However, when I go to legacy mode he gave me an 0xc0000017 error code saying: not enough memory to create the virtual disk. If does not work reinstall drive

    Anyway to solve the above problems, should I do it before I jump into the Acer restore with legacy mode disc? Should I send it to Acer for repair? I really need this phone in working condition.

    Thank you guys!

    A live bootable CD is probably the best option for your situation:
    http://www.partitionwizard.com/Partition-Wizard-bootable-CD.html
    Download the .iso file
    then use a software to burn CD/DVD or USB flash drive and burn the .iso file
    Once completed, put the CD/DVD/USB on your PC, boot from CD/USB (maybe you need to start under the legacy if you have the UEFI BIOS)
    Press F12 on startup and choose the CD or USB
    at the level of the Office
    Select your HARD drive
    Right-click on the icon for your HARD disk, and then choose Remove all xxxx and click Yes, and then apply
    http://www.partitionwizard.com/help/delete-all-partitions.html#HOWTO
    or wipe your HARD drive completely (it will erase any GPT or MBR at the disk), choose the first option after selecting the clear function.
    Exit the wizard partition, boot from the BIOS, UEFI return of the Legacy (if you have the UEFI BIOS) and boot from media erecovery.

  • Windows 7 problem with the Dell XPS 15 laptop (L502x)

    Dear friends,

    Greetings!

    I need your assistance related to a problem, I was confronted with my Dell XPS laptop computer L502x purchased in the United Kingdom a couple of years back. In fact, I tried to update my system for windows-10 de-windows 7 Home Premium (originally installed) via windows update. Later, due to some display problems driver I had to return to the former. But, as soon as I returned my windows for windows 7 HP, it stopped at day no more and I was constantly receives the message from windows update that always ends with a constant error message; so the update process has failed every time.

    Therefore, I want to restore my laptop to factory through the restore partition settings that already exist in my machine, the "repair" option does not appear (snapshot attached) when I hit the F8 key. I wonder if there is another option available to use this recovery partition to recover my laptop to factory State. Please suggest me the solution so that I can do what is necessary to restore my machine to the factory settings.

    I can't wait to have an encouraging response from you.

    Best,

    Adnan!

    If the Ctrl key pressed, while pressing the F11 key repeatedly (about once per second) at startup does not work, it means that the recovery partition no longer exists.  If this is the case, you cannot restore to the factory.

    This would also be the case if the hard drive has been replaced.

  • Problem with the page using the not substituted VO

    Hi all



    I expanded the view object AbsenceSummaryVO of the/oracle/apps/per/selfservice/mgrviews/webui/ManagerViewsPG of the page. I created a new view object that extends the object from view of AbsenceSummaryVO, it contains a few added columns.

    These added through customization, I added to the tab of the absence of columns. The only problem is... that they are not fulfilled. It seems that Oracle ignores the request to be executed instead of the old one (old data appears perfectly). One of the current columns also changing a value hardcoded still looks like the old value (data base).



    When I look in the MDS repository, I can see the substitution is deployed, remove also the XML necessary for replacement of the filesystem is Oracle generates an error.

    Below the output from the MDS repository:

    ---

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF - 8"? >

    < customization xmlns = "http://xmlns.oracle.com/jrad" xmlns:ui = "http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui" xmlns:oa = "http://xmlns.oracle.com/oa" xmlns: user = "http://xmlns.oracle.com/user" version = "9.0.3.8.13_1566"; XML: lang = "en".

    Customizes = ' / oracle/apps/by/self-service/mgrviews/Server/AbsenceSummaryVO ">

    < replace with = "/ xx/oracle/apps/by/self-service/mgrviews/Server/AbsenceSummaryVOEx2" / >

    < / customization >

    ---



    When I look at the page on the business components used, I see the substituted object seen used. However it does not appear in the substitute for the table column, but in a 'normal' line The original view object (AbsenceSummaryVO) is missing from this list. I find it rather strange.



    Everyone recognizes this kind of behavior? And what to do about it?



    Kind regards



    Patrick

    Patrick,

    You must extend AbsSupHrchyVO instead of AbsenceSummaryVO.
    Although this page mentions that AbsenceSummaryVO is used for the columns it ignores changes to this VO.
    I expanded AbsSupHrchyVO on a test instance and added a few custom columns and they appear in the Absence sub-tab (/ oracle/apps/by/self-service/mgrviews/webui/AbsSupHrchyRN) now.

    Kind regards
