  • battery problem: message "consider replacing the battery.

    original title: battery problem

    Hello.

    I think I have a problem with my battery today. I bought my laptop on October 2010 and everything was OK until today: the indicator of battery on the computer screen with a blinking red and it says that I should "consider replacing the battery.
    Then, when I plug the battery on the computer, there is one other Red Cross on the battery indicator, and also said I should 'consider replacing the battery. In addition, it is written "a battery problem has been detected. Your computer may suddenly stop. However, I see that the battery is charging (the battery indicator increases).
    Finally, when I unplug the battery from the computer, after 5 minutes on all messages have gone, and everything seems completely normal.
    So, I wonder if there is a real problem, and you think that I should really change the battery soon (I would find it strange that my cell phone is almost brand new)?

    Thank you.

    I have an Acer Aspire 5738 G laptop which is installed with windows 7 Home Premium OS.
    I bought 12/12/2009 and now on this date 12/12/2011, I get a warning message on my battery.

    Hello

    Yes, you can even power off the power and remove the battery and then use the computer with
    no battery inside on alternating current.

    Have you checked the troubleshooting that I posted earlier? Clean the battery terminals,
    If possible and the other methods sometimes help to revive a weak battery. Of course
    age of batteries with use and time, so the battery is lower than when new.

    I hope this helps and happy holidays!

  • Message "Consider replacing your battery" Windows 7 and battery.

    In the previous beta and Windows 7 RC, I received an error message saying "Consider replacing your battery" "there is a problem with your battery, so your computer might suddenly turns off".

    I know that the battery is good. It works great under Vista, this isn't about 4 months, it lasts 2 hours +, and even in Windows 7, it will last for the same period of time as it did in Vista.

    People say (as well as microsoft) that it's the BIOS and it must be updated.  Well, I got the latest BIOS from LG, which is dated in 2009, and that has not changed anything.  I conclude that it is NOT the BIOS because vista has reported estimated time left of the battery very well, even before the bios update, and I have the latest version of the BIOS.

    I ran the command powercfg of energy and he said that windows was not able to determine the capacity of the battery, but if I install the batery LG application, it will tell me all the information on the battery.

    I even went up to try battery of my friend who is less than 3 weeks, and there was always the same error messages.

    Microsoft, fix this problem and if you cannot, then give users an option to take out / disable the flashing X which is on top of the power tray icon and remove both her "consider replacing your battery" and "there is a problem with your battery, so your computer might turns off suddenly" messages so we don't have to see that every day because the battery is actually GOOD and functioning.

  • Satellite M30 - error message after replacing the DVD drive

    Virgin, excused my English ;)
    I have a satellite m30 and I replaced the DVD-cd-rw drive in series with a SLIM NEC ND-6650 DOUBLE LAYER, DVD time bios gives me error
    0203: failure IDE #2
    Is it possible to remove this message?

    Hello

    As far as I know that this message can not be eliminated and it happens every time if you want to use the drive is not compatible. Always is it that all readers may not work with all models of laptops.

    In this case, fundamental problem is the pin assignment. It is not the same in all players.

  • Consider replacing the battery? There is a red x on my battery icon.

    I have a hp pavilion dv6000 and recently upgraded to windows 7 32 bit. There is a red x on my battery. I was wondering if I need a bios upgrade? I'm not sure. Help, please.

    Rated capacity 88800

    Hi Philippe

    These nubers show that the battery of your computer has about 35 percent of its original charge capacity left.

    It is the threshold of 40% and warns against why you receive who "consider replacing your battery."

    Until you can replace the battery, make sure that you do not all essential functions such as upgrades of Windows, installation of programs, creating a backup, or by using the system restore, unless the computer is connected.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - webcam does not work, but the LED lights

    Hello!

    I have a laptop Satellite A300-1NO, with Win 7 installed. My problem is that my webcam does not work always, when I want to use it. Sometimes, it works perfectly in Skype, WLM etc... but sometimes I see a white or a black screen with a 'loading circle' in there. Blue is the LED light, I can see it in Device Manager too, but there is no picture, just 'loading '. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, I installed the new "camera Assistant for Toshiba", without success.

    Is there any solution for this?

    > Is there any solution for this?
    I put t think there is solution for this. If I understand you right there is a problem with software pre-installed. It is not easy to say why this is happening.

    I have Satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Webcam works fine all the time.

    One more thing: have you noticed this problem in the first moments after installing Win7 or later?
    Have you installed something that may be the reason for this?

  • Re: Satellite P750 - need directions how access and replace the Wi - Fi adapter

    I have searched all over the web to find a guide on how to replace the wifi card, or at least which screws to remove before you lift the keyboard. I guess that the wifi card is sitting under the keyboard and is accessible by removing the keyboard.

    Case is I want to use widi and so I need to replace the card atheros with a processor intel, a.

    I'll probably end up that even with instructions. So, any help would be greatly appreciated in order to avoid any damage to this magnificent machine.

    More I could use advice on wiring if I want to use a card of two antennas and is the interchangeable card as to existing wiring. I don't know maybe the antenneas is in support of the Bluetooth feature. It will go just to fix the antennas on the new map 'only' wifi in their current configuration.

    Hello

    This Satellite model is new and I assume that the warranty is still valid. Is this correct?
    I guess you know that this action will void the warranty.

    Maintenance manual is not a public document; Therefore, you won't be able to find it for download.
    > I'll probably end up that even with instructions.
    This very bad idea of s. Without instructions step by step, you can damage something, break a few small plastic stand or damage some duct connection. Problem is that these small plastic parts cannot be ordered anywhere.

    I put t know if you have verified compatibility with cards with the hardware platform of s notebook, but maybe you should contact the nearest Toshiba service and pick up some information before you do anything.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - 13 M - how to replace the network card?

    Hello I have the Satellite Pro P300 - 13M.

    My sister fell on my UTP cable and so he was taken out by force and because of that "holding-pings" on the front of the port are bent or broken, so whenever I put in a cable with traction slightess or accidental poke I'm new offline...

    I'm out of my warranty period, is it possible to fix this? Can I replace it myself?
    USB network adapters are a viable solution to replace if I can't replace it?

    Help > _

    To resolve this issue, you must replace the motherboard. The network card or a network location is soldered on the motherboard and cannot be traded.

    In addition, it would be not covered by warranty. This isn't a matter of Toshiba, this is caused by the customer.

    However, if you want to repair you must contact an ASP or search you on eBay for a card mother of second hand.

    "A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: blah blah... "

    Looks like a problem familiar to me, as I had the same one with the Daemon tools. After installing these tools, I couldn't start my Windows XP. I guess that it somehow mixed upwards of some drivers or registry entries, but not sure about that.

    OK, you can try to uninstall tool first start Vista in safe mode (press F8 before Windows starts upward).
    You should then be able to enter in Vista without problem.

    It's easy to say; you need to connect the external monitor to the laptop and need to check if the same if possible lines on a second external display.

    If the lines were visible on the external monitor, so that the GPU fault is possible.
    Otherwise, it may be defective internal display.
