T440s not detected on hot swap external battery

Initially I thought it was just a problem of linux.

Its the same thing on windows 8.

Remove and then reinsert the external battery and windows some extended shows two stacks when you right-click in the system tray.

The battery is detected again when I:

Insert the power cable,

suspend and resume

put into hibernation and resume

Restart

I'm on BIOS 2.17

Does anyone else have this problem?

Michael

For me it turned out be a hardware problem.

Catches of battery marked '1' on the back do not seem to go far enough to trigger the events of the APCI indicating the battery inserts.

I found if I removed the plug completely manually and pulled him so the battery would be detected.

  • External battery V5 - 122P

    User's Guide points out this pretty little port and holes on the bottom V5 - 122P threaded to fix an "optional" external battery This can also be seen mentioned on tech review sites or lists of products at different dealers.

    She fails to mention a part number or anything like that. It is not found on the Acer site. In response to an inquiry, Acer support said that if the computer is not shipped with the "optional" external battery, it is not available.

    Huh?

    Why put the port there? If Acer goes only to the provision of certain shipments? Why not use a different cover that hides the port on the bottom of the computer and not to mention that there is?

    Everyone found this battery or have any further information on this subject?

    I wanted to provide feedback based on demand, we have the battery available for sale in the United States.

  • HP Slate 21 cannot detect some of my external hard drives

    Hi all

    I just bought an all-in-one HP Slate 21 PC (Jellybean Android) and it worked very well. However, I have a problem because it does not detect one of my external hard drive when I plug it into the USB plug. My HD model is a Seagate 1 TB Backup more Portable Drive USB 3.0. So I want to ask if the 21 slate is selective in models HD that we could use?

    Second question, I notice that when I sometimes play some movies, that he would play, but with no sound. Is there some video formats that are not supported? We can install the drivers to fix this? Thank you and hoping for some help and clarification with the people here

    Your android slate will not recognize a hard drive that is formatted as NTFS. It will recognize the FAT32 and exFAT formats.

    An external hard drive must be powered externally. Do not expect the micro-USB port to power an external hard drive or an SSD.

  • Computer laptop 15-f211wm Mod #L0T32UA: USB external HARD disk and laptops not detected but used to be

    My USB ports do not seem to work properly.  I used to be able to plug in my external hard drive and mobile phone to transfer files, but now I can't.  In the DEVICE MANAGER of the laptop, nothing seems to be wrong, no red or yellow warning.  However, the USB ports DO not seem to power the devices, my cell phone goes into charge mode and my HDD Seagate you can feel it vibrate slightly.  There are two USB ports on the left side and one on the right, and all three can not detect devices.  Help, please.

  • does not detect external hard disk

    Hey guys

    Recently I update my macbook pro (2014) in the sierra of mac os. Since then, my mac does not detect any external hard drive I plug in it even if these drives are detected by the PC and all the files inside. I tried to open utility disk where the hard drive is displayed but the 'volume' located below is gray. When I try to hit mount said volume that nothing happens. All I could do to fix this?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi sgerolio,

    I understand that you are unable to detect any external drive that you plug into your MacBook Pro, since you upgraded to macOS Sierra.  How many external hard drives work?  How they are formatted?   If formatted for PC, they would not necessarily be able to be read by a Mac.

    You have a small empty external drive or USB key that you can test?  Formatted in Mac OS extended (journaled).  Using the Finder, you are able to see the external drive and drag a file to it?

    The title of the article includes the Aperture application but apply these tips to format an external hard drive to any software application.

  • Equium A300D - 16 c - battery not detected after replacement

    I have an Equium A300D - 16 c. The original battery was shot while I bought a stack of real PA3727-1brs 12. I have put in the laptop, it seems to load, but in the corner, he always says no battery not detected even if its load on. When I leave the charger it says remaining unknown.

    I tried the usual stuff to go into Device Manager and uninstall control compliant apci and still he has not solved it self. I've also updated my bios to the newest one. I just wanted to know what could I do so I can see how much battery is left, and if the laptop can recognize I..

    Hello

    Is this a battery Toshiba of origin of an authorized service provider?

    Usually, the new battery should be detected after the first start, I recommend that you charge the battery while the laptop is turned off. Start the laptop with battery only and check if she recognized properly s.

  • Qosmio G10-133 - battery not detected after upgrading to Windows 7

    Hello, I hope someone can help my frustrations here.

    In recent weeks, I successfully upgraded my laptop to Windows 7, an increase of memory to 2 GB, bought new power cord for laptop, new battery and resolved all the issues that Windows 7 has cast on me. The laptop and runs like one dream other than a question that seems to have had worse.

    The laptop no longer recognizes the new battery. (battery with a cross through it and a photo of current) For about a week after installing the battery, this has worked fine but now does not detect everything. I don't have any errors in Device Manager and windows recognized the ACPI etc battery inputs and has no problem. I also loaded the package of Toshiba value added that Windows 7 has found for me but still nothing. Battery not charge even though sometimes the battery works for about 30 seconds to start up if the battery is back removed and implemented, then stops again (once Windows loaded) I tried many things like the disabling of the driver, reinstall battery etc, but nothing. I tried the iniitally of battery with Windows XP and worked well.

    I have also searched the web and saw that many other laptops with Windows 7 have had this problem, including Toshibas. Some say update the BIOS, but Toshiba have not released an upgrade from the original in 2004 (which is for WIn XP Media Center), and there is no settings in my BIOS for ACPI etc.

    In addition, I can not calibrate the battery because I can't do anything with it. I don't think it's a question though.

    If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it or all the links to the drivers etc.

    If this is sorted my laptop should last for 5 years!

    Thanks for reading this.

    Hello

    First of all, I doubt that many other laptops equipped with Windows 7 have this problem. I've never heard of this and normally charge the battery will not be controlled of the OS. It happens automatically and your battery will be charged if the AC/DC is plugged. If the OS doesn't affect it!

    To be honest, I also don t know why your battery isn't detected, but what happens if you turn off the laptop and let the AC/DC adapter plugged in for 24 hours? After that, it should be possible to work on the minute of the battery for 1 hour or more.

    If this isn't the case, it seems to be a hardware problem, maybe the battery doesn t work correctly and should be replaced. You should contact the retailer where you bought

    By the way: some nice and interesting tips on battery:

  • Satellite A500-19W does not detect battery

    Hello

    I have a portable Satellite A500-19W which is 6 months old.

    I bought this laptop while I was in Egypt and now I've moved (Dubai) UNITED Arab Emirates.

    Lately my laptop started suddenly does not detect battery.

    To remedy this that I have to remove the battery and clean the terminals then re - put the battery and turn it on and it's OK.

    This happened twice this week and caused my data loss because the charger is disconnected (if the charger is connected, the laptop computer continue to work, but the battery indicator does not light up)

    Now, my questions are the following
    1 - is this problem under warranty?
    2 - should I pay for anything when getting this laptop in service in Dubai noting that I bought in Egypt?
    3. is there a cure for this problem without going through the service center?

    Thank you

    1 / Yes. These questions should be covered by the warranty. Material is junk.

    2 / the nearest service contact and ask, but I'm sure you don't have to pay for the repair. The two countries are countries in EMEA, and avoid any kind of problems.

    3 / it is not much, you can do about it so please contact and explain the situation. They should check your laptop and find a reason why this happens.

    Don t waste your time and contact the closest service. If you have need for addresses and phone numbers you can find on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

  • Toshiba A300 PSAGCE battery not detected

    Hello everyone.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 (PSAGCE) which worked well since I. Recently, he showed "battery not charging". I went to see what I could do and someone advised that I should update the BIOS. So, I went to the website of Toshiba and downloaded the update for my BIOS. I have install without problem. He now has the version 2.20. The problem of "battery not charging" had disappeared.

    I had a new problem: battery not detected!

    The battery worked well and he gave me 2 hours of normal use. Now, it is not "detected". I did everything I could think of. Do you have the BIOS reset (pressing on the WE / OFF button / stop for 30 seconds), I left it with the battery for a few days, etc...

    When I connect the battery, it shows an orange light for 5 seconds and he died later. I don't know what more I can do. I contacted Toshiba in my country without success. They have not yet responded to my email.

    Any ideas? I tried with another charger than computer shows the same.

    I have install as a program of "batterycare.net" and it shows that I have 1.40 hours of battery, but as soon as I remove the cable ca, the computer shuts down without power.

    I guess I won't be needing help... I flashed my BIOS with a lower version that I had (2.20 > 1.80) and now it does not start even upward.

    I'm kidding not things for good.

    Any changes to save it?

  • New PA3533U-1 b RS/AS for Satellite A300D battery is not detected

    When I plug the power to the laptop, the red light on the battery remains red as-if the load, once windows has loaded the battery shows as not detected.

    I kept the battery charge during 12 hours +, both the 2nd and 3rd battery I received, and none of them show only detected.
    When the laptop is off, new battery, ca, red light stays on for about an hour then it continually flashes. This occurs at the same time. After loading it lights up to insert ac, then when windows loading, undetected bat.
    When I put my original battery in turns without ac and battery and correct information shows.

    I returned the 1st battery, once I reported a 2nd defective, he sent me a 3rd. The dealer has a very positive feedback and good comment, I recently received an email from the merchant who quote

    I have a good loyal battery which lasts 20 minutes, which recognizes at all times and costs without problem.
    If you could please help it would actually prevent me from going crazy, thanks in advance :)
