• Qosmio X 70-B-103 - RTC battery is low

  So my laptop Qosmio X 70-B-103 on the last days have been stop, and it won't turn when I press the button.

  So I proceeded to remove and replace the rtc battery and eventually it worked, but at the start of the laptop, on the blue color screen, it says "RTC battery is low"... So my questions are, the rtc battery closes down and should I buy a new one?
  (I have the laptop for about 1 year)

  Thank you

  In my opinion the RTC battery should not be traded but at full load. Leave your laptop on the power adapter and leave it for about 24 hours.

• Dv7-3165dx notebook computer unexpectedly shuts off when the battery is low

  Dv7-3165dx notebook computer unexpectedly shuts off when the battery is low. Even at 17%.

  This gets really annoying, that I keep losing jobs! Before it used to give me a warning and then Hibernate. Now there is no warning and it turns off without saving anything.

  Help!

  The laptop is a year old.

  I already ran the diagonsitic battery and it said the battery was good.

  OK, I think I finally figured it by changing power options, and I think that the way you reset the battery also helped.

  Here are the parameters:

  reserve battery level (this is when the popup will appear).

  10%

  low battery (this is when the low battery action will be performed).

  8%

  critical battery level (my computer would die at this point.)

  7%

  low battery action: sleep, sleep (this customize to your liking).

  battery low notification: on (hold on).

  critical battery action: sleep, sleep (my computer died already in criticism.)

• RTC battery is low or CMOS incompatible chksum on a new Tecra M4?

  Hello

  I bought my Tecra M4 in November, making it relatively new.

  Since then, I got the following message to the ignition on four occasions:

  RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is inconsistent *.
  Press [F1] to set Date/time.

  Why is it that happens on a new laptop? And with relatively long intervals (4-6 weeks)?

  Is that what I can do to check for hardware errors?

  I prefer not having to send to my computer right now (reviews of spring to come to the top and from one month summer session).

  Any help/ideas are appreciated.

  Kind regards
  Thor

  Hi Thor

  As far as I know is not a hardware problem. Connect the camera to the power adapter and leave it for 20 to 24 hours.
  I hope you use it very often and the battery can be charged at all times.

• Satellite A100-532: the microphone volume is extremely low

  I just bought Satellite A100-532 and I have a problem with the audio input. I can't use the microphone to chat with my friend on msn or even record my voice on the hard drive because the volume is extremely low.

  I tried to turn the volume on the desktop and on the RealTek HD audio Manager, but nothing helped. Microphone works perfectly fine, as I hear myself on the speakers.

  Normally, with my old laptop (M30 series) I could use sound recorder to record the music that I play using Winamp or WinMediaPlayer, but for this new laptop it detects all the sounds at all... just silence.

  Please notify.

  Hello

  You should also check the volume controls in the "Audio & Sound devices" in the Panel.
  In the 'Volume' tab it please go to "Advanced".
  Then a "Volume control" should appear.
  Check if all controls are set at a high level.
  In addition, enter the 'options' and 'properties' and activate all volume controls.
  Also change to "recording" and activate here also all the controls.
  Additional you must check if the "check" is set to high.

  Use the 'Advanced' mic option and play with thrust mic settings.
  I'm sure that you will find the best settings for your mic record

• Satellite A40-211: RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is inconsistent

  Hello

  I bought a functioning Satellite A40 - 211 of one of my friends, who had a defective model A60 from where I took the fast hard drive, the memoryupgrade and the internal wifi card, but the only annoying on the A40-211 new thingie is the message that the RTC battery is low or CMOS is incompatible whenever the laptop is turned off and turned on again (which also happens when a warm reboot is done)

  After checking the laptop for any other problem (there was none), I decided to replace the RTC battery with a new... about 17,-euros in total cost. (Of the disassemble the whole laptop, but it has more than once 100 or so with other models, takes 15 minutes to disassemble and put them all back again once)
  Did charge it new CCF to power the laptop up and leave it for at least 24 hours... (the manual says to do)

  No results... always the same... boring message.

  I also tried to reflash the bios, but the version 1.50 seems ok and cannot be replaced by the programming software.

  So, we have a good laptop to work here, but with an annoying message that cannot be solved?

  Anyone with a good tip?

  OK, a response to myself, because I've been tracking something here...

  I replaced the hard drive to another laptop (Satellite A60 series) to the A40-211... installing Windows could be transferred, since the IDE controllers are the same... then just install some other vga - and sounddrivers to operate...

  But... somehow with the new hard drive and therefore installation, date/time settings are lost after a restart or power off...
  I also discovered that the installation of 'old' will not go into sleep - or standbymode... it will only close...

  Then. I'll make a recovery disk hard 'new' facility, because it is faster than the original that came with the A40.

  I'll keep things updated here... also because this isn't a real solution to the question...

  Now, the question is: what makes the time/date setting go lost after this laptop with a non-on-this-laptop-installed-OS off the power?

• Satellite Pro A10: RTC battery is low or CMOS chesksum unstable

  I have a Satellite Pro A10.

  When I turn everything first laptop computer on I get RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is unstable - press F1 to set date/time. When I press F1, I get a beep and it's everything that happens. I'm unable to had to set up or do anything at all with the installation program.

  I kept it plugged in for 24 hours, but still the same results. I replaced the CMOS battery with a new. But even once, I get the exact same results.

  All that happens when I press F1 and a sound signal. Is this a sign that I have probably a problem with the motherboard?

  You can access the BIOS and could try to set the default settings, and then save the settings and start again.
  If it doesn't, then it must be another reason for this message.

  My first thought was that this error pops up because the BIOS battery is empty.
  Usually such charge as described in your ad should help get rid of this message.
  But it seems that there is a more serious problem

  I m not quite sure what this could be, but the hypothesis that a motherboard could malfunction is not wrong.
  I think that a fault of mobo might this causes too.

  But in my opinion a mobile technician must check to make sure what's wrong.

• ThinkPad W520 Win7 Bluetooth device not recognized by Windows 7

  Hi all

  Just got my Thinkpad W520 4270 CTO with bluetooth installed. It was a work station BACK I installed Win 7 x 64 Ultimate on and I finally got all the drivers installed, but the bluetooth software says it is no BT device connected to my laptop. I checked the BIOS settings and confirmed that the BT is enabled. I even turned off, saved, then he helped turn. Hit the Fn + 5 combo does not trigger the light or no matter what 'Found New Hardware'. When the laptop starts first BT light flashes and the wifi led and the HARD drive activity light. I was not yet able to load another OS, but I download Arch Linux and BackTrack 5 to test to see that it is perhaps a problem with OS.

  Thoughts or ideas would be useful, it seems that my Google-Fu me has missed as well.

  EDIT: I realize in the sticky on the "do not update the bluetooth drivers" but I do not get my bluetooth to work at all, not even recognized by the operating system as an "unknown device".

  I thought about it. It is ridiculously easy. Download the drivers for the keyboard shortcut key and install. It allow you to use the functions at the top of your keyboard, and then after reboot, press Fn + F5 and will you will get a menu to activate the Bluetooth on the operating system, then Win7 should detect and install the drivers for it, or you can download those from the Lenovo site.

• Fuze 4 GB warning disconnect and reconnect to Windows 7 pc... when the battery is low.

  So I just got a rocket and I love it.  Done a good deal about it.  Windows 7 picked it up and transfer of music is not a problem when the unit is fully charged.

  What IS a problem, is that when the battery is low and I have to plug the "rocket" on my PC to load... it keeps connection / disconnection.  The program of control of rocket guard Center popping up and go, arise and disappear... frustrating.  I tried the DPW and MCP modes (actually in DMC mode on the control panel is not everything and it does not recognize that the device is connected).  I've tried different USB ports.  No hub at issue here.

  Here's the kicker... If I load the "rocket" first (plug into a USB Kindle charger), once it has loaded it connects very well.

  Ran the update of the firmware and I'm on the latest firmware it was available, 1.02.31.

  I would like to know how to solve this problem, because I don't always have the small USB Kindle charger with me, and that would well be load from a PC... which is what the original, right intention was?

  Except that I like it and really dig the FM radio tuner.  It is very bad!

  Hosers, all.

  Usb hub 4 ports powered solved my problem.  'duh, I think yer cable is bad' I DO NOT.  Apparently, the "rocket" sucks just too much power.

  So I solved my problem with a $ 5 usb hub.  Yippee.

  Hi roy,.

  · What is the number and the model of the computer?

  · What is the heating of the computer at startup?

  According to my research, there seems to be problem with the CMOS battery. I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  Important: changing the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• Why Windows 8 Pro becomes extremely low FPS on my high end Graphics Card compared to Windows 7 that had ZERO lag problem!

  Since I bought Windows 8 Pro for my Gaming Office all I have is having problems with the game, like Midtown Madness 2 allows to get as stable 60 fps but now on windows 8, I'll have 3 to 10 fps and GTA IV gets like 8-24 FPS on this graphics card high end and why Windows 8 Pro becomes extremely low FPS on my games compared to Windows 7 which had no problem who worked as its supposed to work. and it is a High Spec computer to run all games maxed out with all the problems of lag, but for some reason, there are problems of lag. I had uninstalled the graphics drivers in the control panel and start in SafeMode with Fusion driver to remove the remaining data from pilot and I reinstalled the last chart and without success, I always get problems.

  my processor is an AMD Phenom II X 6 1100t, graphics card: Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7970, 16 GB DDR3 1333 Mhz Ram my computer cannot be low power!

  Actually my problem is solved now. what I did to disable Hyper-V in windows features. Windows 8 is now faster than windows 7 in games or even better.

• When I turn on my computer, it says that my battery is low

  It began with my computer randomly hanging while he had left as a charger to 50% left

  Then one day I received a message before the start that says something about my internal battery is low

  I don't understand exactly what it means or what to do and how to fix it.

  I have a HP Pavilion G6 1b59wm and it runs under Windows 7.

  Hello

  Certainly, you can order the battery through HP - you can use the phone at the bottom of the page number here.

  It may also be interesting to use (and less expensive) a 3rd provider - an example can be seen here.

  Also, a search on the web using the term 'G6 - 1 b 59 battery' should give you a number of other suppliers.

  Best regards

• Need help with extremely low rates of FPS on X 51 new R2

  I just bought a new Alienware X 51 R2 to replace an old Alienware model with a Radeon graphics card that I bought in 2012. My old machine has done useful work to run the games, and I was getting about 30 FPS on Grand Theft Auto 5 to high heat (especially) with a resolution of 1440 X 900. For most of the games I could play on normal settings and get 30 + FPS and I was happy with it. Not so with the new X 51 R2 I bought.

  Almost immediately, I noticed that my FPS with GTA V was extremely low. When I start a game (1920 X 1080 with normal settings), the FPS is around 120, and the game plays smooth as butter, but as soon as I start to move starts to decline until it is of the order of 15-20. Enter a car is even worse, with FPS readings between 5 and 10, and at this rate, it is impossible to play. The problem seems to occur any resolution, I start the game or if I push the graphics settings to the lowest available.

  I thought it was a driver problem, so I uninstalled all the drivers and software NVIDIA and a clean installed drivers, but that has not helped. Then I started to download and test the other games that I have to look at my FPS with them. Note that I tested each game first leave the game choose the graphics setting, then I tested it again on smaller settings at 1920 X 1080 and 1440 X 900.

  • Skyrim on old PC: 40 FPS and smooth at 1600 X 900
  • Skyrim w / default: 8-12 FPS and a lot of stuttering and offset
  • Skyrim @ 1920 X 1080: 12-15 FPS with less stutter but terrible mouse and keyboard delay.
  • Skyrim @ 1440 X 900: even at 1080
  • RAGE on old PC: 50 to 60 FPS and smooth at 1600 X 900
  • RAGE w / default settings: 25-35 FPS, but ran pretty smooth.
  • RAGE @ 1920 X 1080 and 1440 X 900: performs the same as the default settings
  • CoD4MW on old PC: 50 to 60 FPS and smooth at 1600 X 900
  • CoD4MW w / default settings: 10-15 FPS and a lot of stuttering
  • CoD4MW @ 1920 1440: 10-15 FPS and a lot of stuttering
  • Civilization 5 on old PC: 40-50 FPS and smooth at 1600 X 900
  • Civ5 on default settings: starts at ~ 35 FPS and descends until it is less than 20 years. Game play is smooth enough, as long as I'm not scroll the map.
  • Civ5 on 1920 X 1080: as with the settings by default, starts at ~ 35 FPS and begins to drop immediately.
  • Civ5 on 1440 X 900: much better that it begins at 60 FPS, but like the others, begins a fall after a few minutes, but not too far. Tube in the lower 20s.
  • Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 on the old PC: 90 + FPS to the highest settings (game released like 10 years ago)
  • Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 to 1600 X 900: 50 to 60 FPS and quite smooth.
  • Dead Island on old PC: 40-50 FPS and smooth at 1600 X 900
  • Dead Island in 1920 X 1080: 5 to 10 FPS and a lot of stuttering and keyboard/mouse lag.
  • Dead Island at 1440 X 900: 10-15 FPS and stuttering with some lag mouse.

  Here is a list of some of the things I've tried:

  1. Downloaded FRAPS and used instead of the tool integrated FPS w / steam. Readings FRAPS corresponding to the display of the steam.
  2. Wipe the old NVIDIA drivers/software and did a clean install only the driver.
  3. Turn off VSync and tried the Adaptive VSync; neither helped.
  4. I bought a keyboard Roccat / mouse and I was wondering if they were part of the problem, so I uninstalled them and used a plain Microsoft keyboard and mouse. Did not help.
  5. Set the executable of the game to the highest priority in the Task Manager. Not good.
  6. Watched the memory usage, CPU utilization and disk i/o while playing to see if I have the hardware bottlenecks. CPU usage never had more than 20%. Memory usage has never had more than 37%. Drive e/s never had more than 10% after the initial load.

  System Specs:

  • Alienware X 51 R2
  • Windows 8.1
  • Processor: Intel Core i7 core 4 4790 @ 4000 MHz
  • RAM: 16 Gb DDR3
  • Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 w / 2 GB of memory
  • HARD disk: 7200 RPM Toshiba DT01ACA200

  I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how I can solve the problem. This is the first time I've owned a GeForce card (always had ATI Radeon in the past), and I'm starting to question that decision. The only game I could get decent framerate on is 10 years and more, and it's pretty frustrating.

  Someone has an idea of what I can do to get to a resolution?

  There must be something wrong with the fan 960 GTX. Either it has disconnected or broken. Or in bulk (screws not doing their job). I do not think that it is disconnected because it is detected, so it is either broken or it is loose.

  You can check yourself on the GPU or contact technical support to examine it.

  When I add text to an image that starts as a RAW file, I have no problem. When I try to add text to an image that is only a jpg file, the size of the text is extremely low. Even when I change the the font size to 72 pt, it is always small. How can I fix it?

  You set the font size to a size that is suitable for the size of the document.   Size of the document may vary everywhere.   To resolve this problem in action, I solved in scaling the document to a known size then use a font suitable for a document of this size.  When you resize an image using size with resample Images not only checked a single pixel is change everything that is changed is the DPI image resolution setting.  So if you size a picture 8 "wide you choose a font size is good for wide image 8" the Save action.  To work around the problem of changing the size of the printing I wrote a Script to use in such an action.  The script is used twice, there is a backup and restore script.   The first time that the script is used the script records the resolution DPI images in the metadata documents.  The second time that the script is executed, it retrieves the registered PID parameter deletes the record of metadata from images and set the DPI images that had been saved.    If the use of fonts for the document 8 "will be resized to fit the print original size.

  In a script, you can calculate a correct font size to use.  Actions cannot retrieve information or use logic. They need to use the Plug-ing and Script where logic is needed.  When you make using Photoshop UI you use your eyes and brain.
