XPS 17 L702X new charges of battery Dell to only 90%

Hello

I have a Dell XPS 17 L702X serial number .  I just bought a new battery 9 cells directly from Dell.  I installed today and is billed at only 90%.  Now, he says "plugged in, not charging.»

I tried to unplug the adapter to the device and plug in again, and the reboot of the machine, without success.

The last BIOS update for was released in December 2013, so I know I'm on the latest version of the BIOS.

Any ideas?  Thank you.

This sounds like a battery calibration problem. Try to run the battery down until your laptop off, then plug the AC adapter and see if it charges to 100%.

    > I went back to the company and they couse tald me that the charger is fine and that the battery just died, that it was his time to die!

    Well, you can use the laptop without the battery, but only with the power adapter?
    If so, the adapter is OK and completely compatible.

    The AC adapter should support the 19V and 9, 5A
    The value of the ampere (A) could be a little different. It is important, but the Volt (V) value should be the same 19V

    In your case, the battery may be defective or there is a problem of electronic power supply on the motherboard.
    But I think that the battery needs to be checked first

  • New Satellite A100 - charge the battery before turning on?

    Hello

    I'm new in the world of laptops and I will get an entry level Toshiba A100
    Today, however, I am worried as to the time, I first want to charge the battery for 8 or so hours before starting the machine for the first time?

    I ask because I heard that you can compromise the ability to charge using the battery when it is
    already low (the 1st time) and configuration of the laptop, is it true?

    Your help is very appreciated.

    Hello

    The fact is that the new laptops also come with new batteries and the batteries are empty. All laptop manufacturers offer portable computers with batteries.
    It s not unusual State.
    Of course, you can connect the AC adapter and start the laptop computer. While working on the laptop, the battery may charge.

  • My laptop Dell XPS 17 (L702x) does not recognize an SSD pro Samsung 840

    Hello

    I buy all my first SSD for my laptop Dell XPS 17 (L702x) (8T7CQS1). I managed to install the Samsung 840 pro (MZ-7PD256BW) at the HARD School of XPS drive, but the BIOS does not detect as a second HARD drive.

    My BIOS version is the most recent: A19 (26/10/2012), I tried to load the BIOS default settings, but no change.

    The SATA in the BIOS mode is AHCI.

    What could I do with them?

    Thanks, if you can help me,

    Hi Kris,

    Traction test drive 1 and put the SSD in this slot. Then boot in the BIOS to see if the drive is detected.

  • Should I charge the battery on my NEW phone, or drain before charging them.

    I just got the new Motorola DROID. I use my phone a lot, so I want to make sure I have keep the longest possible battery life. The employee who helped me to the Verison store told me not to worry charing the phone immediately, and it's only something that needed to be done with the old phone batteries. In the box with my Droid came instructions that said to charge the battery for a full 12 hours to ensure the smooth operation and maximum battery life. Which is correct?

    Load completely before use.  12 hours is not fair.  Load until the light goes out.  Air conditioning is not necessary on these batteries.  And, if possible, they should not be drained completely between charges.  There are several good sites FAQ for battery litium on internet.

  • Windows product key XPS 17 (L702x)

    Hello

    2 years ago I bought a computer laptop Dell 'XPS 17 (L702x)' my production code is . I want to format my laptop and make "new" again, but I noticed that my windows product key is impossible to read. I can see a part of the key, but not all. It is xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx. In this way, I won't be able to re - install. Can you give me the missing part of my code? Where can I ask for it? I try to use a KeyFinder, but I know with certainty that they are 'find' the wrong code because I can read more than half of it and it is not matching. Please help me!

    The key finder gives the System Locked Preinstallation key which is used for activation OEM Dell Dell.

    You can find more information (in my very long document). See the Windows reinstallation Guide / A Clean install of Windows 7 step 2 to back up just in case product activation:

    http://philipyip.WordPress.com/Dell-community-forums/

    If you use the DVD to reinstall Dell your product should automatically enter the Dell SLP key and activate when a Dell BIOS is corrected.

  • Satellite L755 would not charge the battery

    Hi all. I bought a new laptop today... it wouldn't charge the battery so I exchanged in-store. The replacement also has this problem. I'm doing something wrong or I was just unlucky?

    The battery in the bottom right of the screen icon tells me that the battery is 0% charged, but he is in charge. The red light on the laptop before left turns as if to show that the battery is being charged also.

    Yet battery does not charge.

    If I unplug the laptop from the network, the laptop turns off instanty.

    It is today the second laptop brand new with the same problem. Maybe a part of a lot of battery defective or is - a problem that can be corrected with the software? I don't want to take the laptop to the store for a second time in the day.

    Hello

    If the laptop stops immediately after that the AC adapter is not unplugged, it means that the battery is empty and not loaded.
    Are you sure you plugged the battery correctly into the battery bay?
    Please check if the battery is well suited.

    In addition, I recommend to remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Then press the power button / stop along 30 seconds and reconnect the two parts.
    Then leave the laptop connected to the network for a longer period of time (2-3 hours).
    Then check the battery charge level

    If he would always stay at 0% then I recommend you visit the dealer and check the other unit or the battery.

  • Re: This option is available to charge the battery?

    It is rather a general question, although I use now L500-226 laptop running Windows 7 Home Basic.

    One of the main reasons, I continued using PC instead of the battery of computers (as laptops) is their need (laptops) periodically remove the charger and then reinsert it when the battery is low. Otherwise, keeping the charger is still plugged, the battery would suffer in two ways:

    1 - where the loading stops, the battery will not be able to restore full capacity for the first time. Of course, if the charge process to full discharge then to a low level is repeated once again, internal chemical reactions of the battery could be reactivated gradually to a good extent.

    2. in the long term, keep the battery in full charge State also decreases its MTBF (Mean-Time-Before failure).

    As we all know, the process of charging the battery to full then shock it in an optimal level of low could be repeated automatically by the software.
    Obviously this option must be set by the user first. In this case, there is no need to unplug the charger.
    And only when the user has to take the laptop where the voltage of the network are not available on request, this option would be disabled to avoid discharging the battery automatically.

    Does anyone think that this option is already available in some new Toshiba laptops and maybe L500 models?

    To be honest, I was told that the large companies in the world that produce batteries games can get significant extra revenue of the replacement of the battery packs in shorter periods. But in my opinion, the majority of PC users replace their PCs with laptops that are implementing the battery above, option since they will not have to pay each year (at best) to replace their relatively high price (specific for the manufactured product!) battery pack.

    Any idea?

    Thank you.

    This option is not available. All works automatically, and as the Akuma wrote, you should disconnect manually.

  • New NB520 - low battery life

    Hi all

    Wonder if anyone would be able to help me with this. I recently bought a NB520. Its been less than a month but I already have problems with my battery. Batt life when it is not plugged in is really low (1 to 2 hours maximum), and I get a message inviting me to replace my battery. Find it really weird for a machine that is new. Any ideas guys?

    Cheers, new user NB.

    Hello

    I recommend to calibrate the battery first.

    The battery must be completely unloaded, then charge the battery until the battery led turn to green/blue. Then unplug the power plug and discharge the dough once more

    This procedure should be repeated several times.

    In addition, I recommend changing the settings for the central management unit for Win 7.

    Activate and set certain powers of paste options for individual devices of economy that helps extend the battery work!
