The battery level is displayed

The battery on my windows computer level indicator 8 shows 'remaining unknown"How can we solve this problem?

Thank you. Jim B.

Hello

Try the following:

  • Remove the CMOS battery will define just all the bios to default settings including the date and time. Nothing to do with windows is affected
  • Try to remove the battery and Charger/AC adapter / power cord to your laptop, press on and press and hold power for 20 seconds to discharge any residual current inside the laptop. This erases your RAM and it's like a hard reset. Replace the battery and Charger/AC adapter cord/Power and turn on your laptop.
  • Check if it's something to do with your computer problem laptop power cord or source. Insufficient power can cause some of these issues as well. Take the battery and power on your laptop with the charger only.
  • Make sure that your portable power outlet and plug charger tip are correctly connected. If open air supply you can find on eBay laptop power jack. Fixing and welding of the power supply, however, requires professional skills.
  • It is also possible that the power supply in the laptop card has failed. The only way to diagnose, to bring to a service center.

    There is no battery icon in the system tray and none is available in the task bar.   If there is an icon is not available, how do I determine the leval battery?   Also, is there a registry hack I can use - or perhaps to create a batch file and just make my own icon for the Office?  Thank you.

    The battery icon is enabled in the taskbar notification settings?

    Click on the Customize button and click...

    Then look in the list that opens to see if it shows that the battery icon or the power icon is selected for notifications and display the icon.

    If this is not the case, change it and see if it works.

    IF it does not show, you will have to go the Device Manager (where is the Device Manager?-Windows help) and uninstall the Microsoft under Batteries AC adapter (right click on it and choose Uninstall).

    Restart the Tablet and it will reinstall it automatically.

    Hello

    First, do a power drain: unplug the laptop, remove the battery, then open it and hold the power button for about 30 seconds. Once done, replace the battery, then connect the charger, then turn the computer back on.

    Visit the website of HP and updated the Bios for your device.

    Calibrate your battery.

    Hello

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    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.

    =================================================================

    Other information that might help:

    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 online forums.

    New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload their 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.

  • Windows 7 turns off without warning when you reach the low battery level

    I was using a laptop HP which is upgraded from a family of OEM/RTM Windows Vista Edition Premium x 64 SP1 installation to a cleaning of the Version FULL of Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.  When I used it on battery it takes 25-27% left and it close it self of without any warning that the battery was low.  Then, when I connect it to the power cord and turned on I got the message of recovery Windows error that we will choose between the SafeMode / SafeMode with network/Safe Mode command prompt / start Windows normally and I chose to start Windows normally.  I went in the power and clicked Options on advanced settings for the power management that I use and when I extended battery it says:

    Critical battery action
    On battery: hibernation
    Plugged in: do nothing
    Low battery level
    On battery: 25%
    Plugged in: 10%
    Critical battery level
    On battery: 5%
    Plugged in: 5%
    Low battery notification
    On battery: 5%

    Low battery action
    On battery: do nothing
    Plugged in: do nothing
    Reserve battery level
    On battery: 7%
    Plugged in: 7%

    Why have I not a warning when he got low battery level and why it automatically shut down and give me this error message.  How can I fix it.

    It could be that your battery is bad.  With my laptop, the battery lasts a few minutes, and if it passes underneath of ~ 20%, it stops instantly.  So, I just put the battery level critical to 25% and the hibernate on battery battery critical.  Windows 7 should be smart enough to tell you if this is the case (at the bottom left icon will have a red x through it, and if you hover over the battery icon it will say "consider replacing your battery."

  • Satellite U400 - stop after the reactivation of the battery charge

    Hi all
    8 days ago, I bought a Satellite U400 laptop, and all the drivers and BIOS are up-to-date.

    I close cover mode standby when the battery on charging with AC main branch and led red indicating the charge is ok...
    When he is awake by opening the cover, red led is off load display, but the icon on the right buttom it says on AC and battery recharges.
    But it is not charging and the battery level drops.

    Is there someone actually deal with this problem?
    Thank you for your support in advance.

    Hello

    Are you sure you have the latest version of the BIOS of your laptop?
    Check again on the Toshiba site:

    The reason why I ask is that I founded this Toshiba document and in my opinion a BIOS should solve the problem.

  • Tecra R10 - 10W - charge when the battery fully

    Hello

    I have this laptop for a few weeks and his strange behavior. Lets say I use this connected to AC and the battery is charged to 100%. When I disconnect from AC from one day to the next and connect it again in the morning, he begins to charge the battery, even if it is charged to 100%. It charges the battery for 5-10 minutes.
    Does anyone have a similar experience?

    Other portable wait until the battery level reaches about 95% before loading. Is there a way I can influence this behavior? I guess that this short of frequent charges is not good for the duration of battery life.

    Thanks for your opinions.

    As Akuma has suggested, it's a normal question.
    Nothing unusual, because the battery loses power even the laptop is turned off.

  • Satellite X 200-20 years do not go into hibernation mode when the battery is 2%

    Hi all

    I just received my X 200 brand-new and very shiney and went through the normal procedures of change in VISTA power management settings, but I can't seem to enter the State of hibernation automatically. I have it configured such as a battery alarm critical (to 2%), the laptop should automatically enter Hibernation State save my data and downtime.

    Unfortunately, this does not happen and he died right after that the battery level has dropped below the 2% limit. On re - boot (with power supply) VITSA tells me it has not been closed correctly. You don't say! :-)

    I have configured laptops before using XP and have not had any problems. I know that VISTA it has many more options to set up and wonder if I'm missing something. I checked the help files for the VISTA and I seem to do the right thing.

    I really would prefer to use Hibernate instead of sleep, but simply can't get to do on a critical battery level.

    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Hmm normally, it should be possible to set Vista power options to hibernate if the battery reaches a critical level.
    I think you should try to reconfigure the settings.

    Check the hibernation of different battery level. For example, you can set the level of hibernation at 10%. Please don t forget to apply settings ;)

    By the way; I recommend to check the BIOS settings too.

  • Satellite Pro L300-1AQ only to charge the battery while the phone is in use

    I have a Toshiba SP L300-1AQ.

    In the last month we started having problems with it quit unexpectedly, even on power outlet.
    This morning I used it for about a half hour. When I started the battery level was 39% full, so I plugged it into the outlet. The fire area on the front of the laptop came and taskbar in Windows icon showed it was plugged and load (battery light was orange).

    After half an hour, I checked the battery and it was down to 16%. I turned down the brightness of the screen to try to reduce energy consumption, but less than a minute at the level of the battery was down to 15%. The toolbar icon and power lights both still power showing tasks. The power adapter was cold to the touch. I expect that it is hot. It seems to me that the power adapter does not provide enough power to run the laptop and recharge the battery. If the laptop is in sleep mode, the battery may charge.

    We need a new power adapter?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's really hard to say what the reason is but first of all, I think its hardware problem and not software related.
    Maybe the card mother doesn t charge battery problem more or the AC/DC adapter is defective. So can you test another adapter AC/DC to a friend for example? It would be interesting to know because if an AC/DC adapter works it seems to be a problem with the motherboard.

    I don t have Satellite Pro L300, I only Satellite L300 but it works really well and I can t notice a problem with the battery charging. It s all ok again :)
