• Tecra 550 cdt - charging battery.

  Hello
  How can I tell if my laptop is in charge batteries - battery is a dud - and the battery life is very good, but the laptop will not charge the battery?
  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t know if I understand you right but it looks like that your laptop is unable to charge the battery. Am I wrong?
  Well, first of all, you must check if your adapter is ok and if the laptop works with the main power supply.
  If it s clear then you can try to check the connection of the battery PIN. Remove the battery for a while and once again put it several time.
  Then check if the battery may charge.
  If not, if it is possible that the battery is dead. In this case, you should check if the new battery will solve your problem.
  It is also possible that there is something wrong with the loading of electronic drums. In this case I recommend to contact Toshiba service partner in your country. Guys should check the laptop.

  By the way; You can buy the battery compatible also with the service partner.

• Palm Pre crazy symptoms: 'phone in offline mode', won't charge battery, won't start, message error "an error has occurred that cannot be resolved.

  This is a long description of a series of problems with my new Palm Pre. You can search text to find your specific problem. There is no solution in my post. Looking for possible answers in future responses.

  I bought my Palm Pre 4 days ago and it arrived 2 days ago. Phone was working fine. Last night I plugged the phone and updated the operating system. After, I've selected "Done" and went to bed.

  -First set of questions: 'Phone offline', will not charge battery.

  In the upper left corner of the phone, there is the message "phone offline. Although the phone was in charge all night, it reads "battery of 26%. I called the general number of on the Sprint tech support and we tried the following things:

  (1) the phone reboots (press on and hold the power button / stop, then select 'Disable'. After setting down, hold down power button / power stop.)

  (2) to reset the phone (several ways - call tech support so that you do this properly)

  The individual Sprint and then sent me to another tech support person, likely to level 2.

  -Second series of questions: message error "an error has occurred that cannot be resolved;

  #2 Sprint tech support person had me also to restart and reset the phone in a number of ways. In his own words 'we tried all the palm pre stuff I know' and whenever the phone was insensitive. Often, we received the message error "the phone is in offline mode. We did a full erase and after that the phone will not re-start is no longer. At this point, the error message came up saying "an error has occurred that cannot be resolved" that referred me to www.palm.com for assistance. I think it's important to note here that this was not the typical error message (black screen with white letters) but rather the blue sky with a translucent box on background with white text.

  #2 Sprint tech support person then me connected with the support of the Palm and the dance continued. Yet once, we tried a whole bunch of reset and restart and the erasure of the options. Palm support asked me to go to: www.palm.com/rom to download WebOS Doctor, which I did. I downloaded the file. Although that was the case he had hold the button "volume +" and connect the phone to the charger. This caused a USB symbol will appear on the phone. When the record was complete, I got an error message which could not run the file. Palm tech support person seemed surprised. I mentioned that I was on a Mac and he said he couldn't help me. He me transferred to another person from Palm support that works with Mac users.

  Palm #2 tech support person advised me that I should have selected the download option 'mac' on www.palm.com/rom. I verbally walked him through the series of Web pages, telling him it is said that you need Windows (any version) or Mac (whatever version), but that at no time was there a possibility to download another WebOS doctor for different operating systems. After an exchange of views over she told me that she would have to have someone call back me tomorrow.

  -Third series of questions: phone stuck on the USB symbol.

  So for the moment, the phone is completely useless. Not fantastic. I started the mac on Windows 7 and downloaded WebOS Doc and received the same error message. I also ran Windows Vista virtually and received the same error message. Later this afternoon, I head into work to try the same thing on Windows XP.

  In the meantime, I got on this forum and found a thread that has provided a direct link to the necessary file:

  Palm.CDNetworks.net/Staging/ROM/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar

  After downloading this file, I realized could totally be a virus, I was able to get WebOS Doc work on my computer. It took that I recharge the phone before, and now it's on the screen that says 'do not disconnect your phone' and the full file of 3%. Only... it was completed for almost 30 minutes to 3%.

  I hope that Palm will follow-up with me tomorrow, but I'm leaving on a business trip at 7:00 and I would love to have the thing work. All suggestions are welcome, even if you can just tell me how to get her think disconnected safely before my flight tomorrow. I want to get through security with my phone plugged into my laptop.

  Thank you.

  I picked up the phone at the local Sprint store and the sales ago replaced the phone. They were unable to understand what went wrong and, essentially, has declared a complete failure of the unit. I'm sorry that I'm not able to offer better news, but I hope that this info is useful to you.

• Satellite L850 - charger / battery problems, not normal...

  Hi all.

  First post and all, I had a glance through to see if I can find my particular problem, and I don't think I can.

  I posted this in another sub-forum, but then realized it's here... oops!

  A L850. It will work fine on battery, but only supplies not the charger cable. Helpfully, a colleague also has an another L850 (I bought two together) so I can charge my battery of separately in his machine.

  If I start the machine on a charged battery, it works fine. If you connect then the power adapter, the led is lit on the front of the machine, but it's clearly not load the machine works until the battery is flat and then turns off and will not turn on back until you charge the battery apart and put it back in.

  Whenever the machine is powered, it also complains that the RTC battery is flat, and you will need to set the time in the BIOS. It is the coin cell CR2032 internally on the motherboard isn't?

  what I don't understand, is that the unit understands clearly that the charger is plugged, as seers to say it is the battery. Except that it isn't, and is not to be unity. Œuvres battery for about 40 minutes of our days, after that, dead machine.

  Any ideas? I suppose that there is something wrong with the internal charging circuit, but the fact that the LED lights up when it is plugged suggests otherwise...

  Thanks for all the ideas.

  David.

  More information on this type of bit. When it is plugged in, the icon on the screen says "Plugged in, charge", but battery icon animates not charging about 10 seconds, then stops, and battery is clearly not charge as % drops away slowly.

  I found a Google one of them is the "remove all, hold for 30 seconds, reconnect power. This made no difference. I also found advice to uninstall the battery from the device manager driver software and allow it to re - install. This done, still no different.

  I got the hard drive and in a USB enclosure to retrieve all my files and am doing the 'factory restore' option I think that this is a restore hard disk partition. This work is far away, but in my opinion, is still running on battery only, so do not know if this is going to end!

  Ian

  Hello

  did you remove the insulation on the connections of the battery before charging?
  The red light flashes while recharging the battery? If the charge is complete, the Red led is constant.
  If this is not the case, there seems to be something wrong with the electronic charger.
  Recharging works only with AC charger provided.
  Camcorder must be disabled.

• Manual control of charging battery for notebook

  Hello, is it possible to manually disable my laptop in charge battery?

  What I want to do is to store 100% charged the battery on the laptop, but they have the laptop powered only via the AC charger. It is important that the laptop is trying to charge the battery at any time while in use without determined action from me. The operating system is windows 7. I realize that this question may seem without purpose more, but if it is possible to keep the battery installed on the laptop using the AC charger only using the software, it would be great. I read that the ACPI Microsoft control battery method, in the Device Manager can be disabled, but what I've read, I'm not sure whether this action will be enough. I would be grateful if someone is able to answer this question. Thank you very much

  What power is supplied to the system of the laptop works on AC power because the battery voltage will be slightly lower than the AC voltage. However, the power supply can trickle charge the battery at all times even if it is less frequent.

  What tends to happen in practice is when the laptop is 1st turned on even with essentially a completely charged battery some load will take place. This is necessary in order to confirm that the battery is actually charged, the charge current indicates the battery status much better the just measure the voltage.

  The degree of control available to the operating system is very limited with it first and foremost a function of portable electronics (it still applies even if you do not pass).

• BlackBerry Smartphones stuck on 'low battery' with a fully charged battery

  I have a Blackberry Curve 8330, I have had for years and never had any problems with it.

  But today, the battery is dead even if I loaded last night, I thought a little weird.  Came home, plugged into the wall, but although it recognizes to be connected with the little zig - zag, he is not required to load.

  I think that "grateful" is a better way to phrase it.  I put the phone battery from a friend, who fortunately has the same model as me, and his recognized the same battery as being almost fully charged phone and had no problem, but when put back in my phone, it says "low battery", guard the radio is off, and as soon as I unplug the wall adapter, the phone stops due to low battery.

  Tried with its battery too, recognized both as low battery.  She apparently is not the batteries or the charger or the actual usb port, and I am at a loss what to do.

  I have not downloaded applications, or updated the operating system during the weeks, so I don't know why you would choose now to start doing this.  Does anyone have an idea of what is wrong, and what I can do about it? Or is my blackberry doomed?

  Well, after the one on the desktop without the battery in it, it started fine this morning with a fully charged battery and is fine.  Hoping that he'll be fine next time I try to load it.

  Problem is at least temporarily resolved, thanks for the suggestions of things to try.  At least she stopped me from throwing my phone something = P

• charge battery after installing the new battery does not exist

  I use Windows 7 Ultimate Spk1 32 bit on my laptop (big mistake)
  I recently installed a new battery & put it through the cycles of preparation 3 times following the instructions.
  The next time he went down to the alarm of low level newly together and I added the power adapter, nothing happened, the battery wouldn't charge.
  After many attempts to do nothing improved load, especially my temper.
  They advised me to install another battery which I just did, and this SECOND new battery just sits there & will not charge either.
  When he arrived he had 10% fresh rate showing so I removed the AC adapter and let him draw 8%, but when I replaced the adapter he had served on 8% & does not load.
  What is going on? How a simple thing like recharging simply disappears. ?
  Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

  See you soon
  Geoff

  The charging circuit inside the laptop and recharges the battery while the laptop is plugged into the mains. If the load circuit does not have the laptop is running on a charged battery or the power cable, but won't charge the battery.  The fact that the machine failed to load two new and old battery suggests the charging circuit has failed.

• BlackBerry Smartphones unable to charge the battery of the playbook

  Received a playbook as a gift and it will not charge - the message indicates low battery level and asks to connect to the power source (it is) that can do what the device does not load?

  Plug the device into the charger, Journal BlackBerry upward. Make sure that you use the charger supplied with the Playbook as a standard phone charger BlackBerry will not work.

  If it still doesn't work can you plug the charger on another device and see if it perceives the other device? We need to determine if it is the charger or the Playbook.

• T420 - AC/DC charging connection possible?

  Hello world!

  Since last week, I got a new T420 and I really like it. At the moment I am trying to configure my energy Manager and I am looking for an option, I know that Dell Latidue laptops.

  When I work at home I'm still connected to the AC adapter to achieve maximum performance. I have always try to charge my battery if it is almost empty or at least less than 15%. I don't need my battery charged if there are 90% left. I try to make my battery live as long as possible and, to this end, I prefer a minimum number of fees. I know that there are no memory with Li - ion effect, but out of my experience with portable btteries better noting useless.

  I am looking for an option that says something like "If relie connected to the external power supply, the battery only if it is under # %".

  Is something like that possible with a Lenovo Thinkpad?

  Thanks for your help in advance!

  In the powermanager click on the stack, then the "battery maintenance" tab - button.
  Marks "Custimized" and set the level, when the battery needs to be recharged.
  After 'OK', shut down the laptop and turn ("Restart the computer" is not enough - load levels are written in the battery to stop!)
