View 5 Replies View RelatedWell I just had the first bsod from my laptop and after the reboot it got stuck -> reboot and select a proper boot drive.I checked the bios and my hard drive was still being recognized. After it I turned the laptop off I took the battery out and I turned on the laptop. The laptop would run normally. Then I ran safe mode and it worked fine and normal mode too. So I'm wondering if it's something wrong with my laptop battery or just really bad luck. I still need to run it again with the battery.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy laptop is starting to get a bit slow, particularly when booting and loading programs so I'm thinking of replacing the hard drive with a SSD. Specs are as follows:
MSI X-370 13''
AMD E-450 APU

I have a Samsung 830 Series 128GB which I originally bought for the laptop but I had problems transferring the OS across so I used it in my desktop for a while. I think it would be put to better use in my laptop though. Not only should it speed things up but I think I might get an extra 30 mins or so of battery life as well. It might make it a tad lighter and more shock resistant too.
I originally tried transferring the OS using an external hard drive enclosure and some software called Paragon. Despite following the guide to the letter, all I would get is the BSOD after transferring the OS. Now I noticed today that the Windows 7 product key on my laptop doesn't have OEM in it so does that mean that it's not the OEM version and I should easily be able to just format the drive and do a clean install using the product key on my laptop?Also if I am able to do this, is there a way for me to create a CD/DVD (or preferably something on USB to avoid having to buy an external optical drive) inside my existing installation to use for reinstalling or would I need to borrow a Windows 7 DVD from a friend? (And use my own legal product key of course.)

I haven't verified this yet, but I wondered if it's a possible bug?
I bought a Dell XPS M1330 over a year ago and it came preloaded with Vista Home Premium. Since I want to keep the batteries in good condition I run the laptop with no battery connected and AC plugged in whenever it sits on my desk at home.
However, in Windows 7 it seems that Windows wants to put the laptop to sleep after 10-15 minutes if I do this. Since I have various USB devices plugged in, especially external storage, this is a problem. It goes away if I run with the battery plugged in but like I said, not verified yet.
We have an ASUS K52Jr purchased in April last year. At the start of this year the hard drive packed it in while I was trying to download something on ITunes and it would not start up again. We were moving and so didn't get around to taking it in for a couple of months. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago we went it in to ASUS and the hard drive was replaced under warranty (2-year warranty).The laptop is working fine now on AC power but the battery will not charge. I've tried shutting it down, taking the battery out, restarting it and putting the battery in while it's on, but no dice. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the power management driver from "Device Manager". It was saying "plugged in, charging" on the battery icon but the "power bar" on the icon would stop moving within a few seconds of putting the battery back in and the power level would stay at 0%. Yesterday it started saying "plugged in, not charging".Is this because the battery was left in the laptop while it wasn't working? Is it just coincidental that the problem started after the hard drive was replaced?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe following text is the culmination of information from a failed attempt to get qualified advice via the Yahoo Answers route. This is why the text is not in a strictly narrative form. I thought it best to provide the accumulated data as is:I recently purchased a replacement battery for my Acer laptop (Acer Aspire 7740-5029). The battery is not a "manufacturer" replacement battery, but is of third-party manufacture.When I turn on my laptop (windows 7 HP 64bit), the laptop does not recognize that the [new] battery is inserted, even though the new battery is inserted. The laptop does function with the replacement battery, but it does not report to Windows the remaining charge, or even that the battery is even there. So, this being the case, I have no idea of the charge/time remaining as I use the laptop and is of no use to me because of that fact.
Technical information: *The factory battery (OEM) is a Sanyo AS07B31 (lithium Ion, 4400mAh, 48Wh, 10.8V, 6 cell). *The replacement battery is a Famis FAM18674 (Lithium Ion, 5200mAh, 49Wh, 14.8V, 8 cell)
Additional Details:For anyone who advises that I seek out and download/update drivers for the new battery, I cannot "download the driver", since in the Device Manager does not even recognize the new battery as being there as an unknown device or otherwise. I cannot update or install a driver for device that Windows doesn't know is even there.
Additional Details:One other person has submitted that the original battery that came withthe laptop contained DRM electronics, so that one cannot replace the OEM battery with a non OEM model.
Additional Details The battery status/plugged-in status icon is on the taskbar and is not hidden. I have always had my taskbar set up to show all icons and to hide none of them. With the laptop not plugged into the AC and the new battery in place, the only icon that is showing is the "no battery detected" icon. Even though the laptop is drawing power from the battery, Windows does not "see" that there is a battery and therefore cannot provide battery usage/time remaining, etc.
Some time ago I bought a battery for my laptop (Asus G51JX) and, it didn't work, I've sent it back and bought a new one with the same specifications (11,1V, 7200 mAh, 9 Cells).Now, when I start the computer on AC only, it works fine, but when I put the battery, the little icon on the taskbar goes up and down and then stops, If I remove the power cord, the laptop continues on but for my surprise it says "Plugged in, Charging" WITHOUT the power cord!, how is that possible? it is not from the OS because I tried another HDD with a completely different installation and it did the same, now my question is... Is it BIOS or the Motherboard?

View 1 Replies View Relatedhas the core i3-370m more specs found at bestbuy.com with the sku: 2686552 into the search field, or from a general internet search its pretty new to best buy, but I was wondering if its possible to create a system image/iso or something to reinstall the OS to the 32 bit version.The OEMs nowadays seem to want to leave the recovery options on a partitioned part of the main drive and want you to create 'recovery disks' for OS backup protection.i have proprietary software that can only run on the 32bit vers on windows 7 (the machine comes with home premium 64 bit).I understand the total memory usage limitations. But I am not concerned with that and the machines only purpose is to run this software.called HP they said the 64 designation was 'locked' into the 'motherboard chip' as they called it, and it can be turned back to 32bit. The guy didn't know and found this answer from his supervisor. Sounds like a load of b.s. to get me off the phone with giving a solidly researched response. Idk to me it just sounds innaccurate from my understanding.I've reinstalled OS's before on many laptops but they were with my own copies of windows that I had the installation disks for.if its not possible to create a system image/iso from the backup files or the OS itself would it work if i use an installation disk (of the exact same version and same service pack=none)that I already own to re-install the windoes 7 home premium select the 32 bit option, and use the serial from the new laptop to activate it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy Gateway laptop MD-8718u will not recognize a new battery. It had been updated to Windows 7 and because of that update much of the

software (like the camera) became out of date. I went into the BIOS setting and enabled the "recognize battery" command and upon turn-on it automatically becomes disabled. Gateway has a BIOS update for Windows 7. When I tried to install it, I received a "BIOS Unflashable" message or something like that. Being a integrated motherboard, the BIOS is probably soldered to it and difficult to replace. Can anyone tell me how to get my system to accept the new battery?
Now the laptop wont boot into Windows. How do I fix this? I went to "repair my computer" then went to "reinstall windows while keeping my old files". Little did I know that this laptop had a broken power jack and was running off of battery. The computer shut down on stage 4/5. I have no CDs and used the option within the partition to reinstall. How do I reinstall windows now and keep my files after this... ? Did I lose all my files?
When I press f8 now to go to "Repair my Computer" it goes to Windows Boot Manager and says that windows has failed to start... Insert windows installation disk... Boot failed - required disk is inaccessible.
I'm having problems when my laptop goes to sleep, I'm not sure what happens but when my battery is low, it goes to sleep but doesn't wake up even if I plug the charger in. The only way I can get this fix is to restart it by shutting it down through the power button.
View 5 Replies View RelatedToday when I turned on my laptop, suddenly, there was a message that my battery has problems so the computer might shut down suddenly. I tried different strategies, like uninstalling the battery driver, or letting the computer completely die. When it turned off itself at 6%, I turned it back on, and it was at 2 minutes battery life. Then in a few minutes, it said 4 minutes battery life for 6%. Now, it's passed an hour, and it says 3 minutes, but changes sometimes to 1-4 minutes. The battery meter is completely wrong, and I don't know what to do since it is closing the computer way too early. I'm still not sure what the problem is.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOkay, so it's been over a year, and my 6cell battery is beginning to die out. I ordered a replacement battery from eBay rather than Dell. I'm a college student, and paying $50 sounded better than paying $200. Anyways, I bought a 9cell battery for my XPS. So here's what happens when I plug in the new battery:
AC Charger with NO battery: Computer runs perfectly fine
AC Charger with battery: Computer runs perfectly fine
Battery with NO AC charger: Problems...
When I plugged in just the battery alone, I went into BIOS and saw that the system's date and time were screwed up; it was showing some weird date in the year 1901. With this new battery, sometimes the hard drive wouldn't load. For example, when I turn my computer on, I can hear the hard drive spinning, but after a couple of seconds, the whole system just...freezes.
I initially thought it was a problem with my hard drive, since a screen kept coming up saying that some of the Windows files were corrupt. I did a clean install of Windows 7, and even tried Vista, but still nothing. With Vista, the date and time would still mess up, and sometimes nothing would load. I even tried system restoring after booting from the CD drive, but I received an error message that I had no shadow copies to restore from. I tried starting up with another hard drive, but still had the same issues.
Right now I'm using my old battery, and I get the message "Consider Replacing Your Battery." Can anyone help shed some light on this issue? Does the problem seem to be with the new battery?

just started cropping up about 2 days ago. For some reason, when I use my laptop on battery, the screen will go completely dark after about a minute of use. This most recently happened this morning. The first time this happened, I just held down my power button, and then turned the laptop on after a minute's wait. On that occasion, the laptop started up again, and it seemed to be waking up from hibernate or something.
But this morning, when I held down the power button and tried to turn it on again, it wouldn't. I plugged in my charger, and then the laptop was able to resume Windows, but the weirdest thing is, it said my battery was at 0%. The reason that seems odd to me is because it was fully charged last night. Right before the random screen turnoff, I checked my battery status, and it said 94%. So why did it go down to 0% after a minute and a half of use?
Now that my laptop is on, and connected to the charger, it is fully charged after about 10 minutes. Is it Windows 7? Or is it my laptop? The laptop will be 3 years old this November. Working on battery hasn't been a problem except for these past few days, and I haven't installed any new programs, or altered any settings that I'm aware of.
