Dell XPS 12 :: Won't Start Up - Indicating Low Battery

Jan 28, 2015

I was using my new Dell XPS 12 at home when it indicated that it was on low battery. I went to put it on charge and then suddenly it turned off. I thought it was out of battery so I left it on charge for about an hour. I then came back to it ands tried turning it on but nothing came up. I have hard reseted but it still won't come back on.

Dell Inspiron 1420 :: Blinking LED Light / Indicating Sound

Mar 15, 2013

I have had my Dell inspiron 1420 for at least 2 years now..The problem last year: While I am not giving input to the laptop, but I am connected to the internet, and firewall is on... The top left LED light will suddenly flash blue and a indicating sound, I can only describe as "do-doop" occur simultaneously. This would happen several times before (completely without my doing anything on the computer) the dell livecam prompter would pop up. I have NEVER used my webcam... so why it would start up automatically is beyond me. 

The problem now is the same light flashes and the same sound occurs, repeatedly and at an inconsistent frequency. The only difference this time, is the dell livecam thing has not popped up, So I don't know that the indication is related. The sound+ flashing will happen one minute, and again maybe 10 minutes later. Then it will happen one minute, and again 30 seconds later. Then happen once, and happen again 2 minutes later. (its very sparatic).This time, I went into task manager and ended the "livecam automatic startup" process, but that did not end the problem.

What this is being caused by or how to make it stop. (I watch low-quality lectures for class on my laptop on full volume, so this sound is super loud and way too often to live with.)

Apple :: Aluminum Macbook - Odd Restart - Indicating A Boot-up

Feb 17, 2009

I'm experiencing an odd restart issue with my Aluminum Macbook (see sig for specs). It is an occasional issue, happening maybe once every week or two.

Basically, it goes like this. I restart my machine for whatever reason, and as it reboots I get the apple (indicating a boot-up). Instead of booting up in 30 seconds as usual, the apple just sits on the screen for a while and then finally turns to an X. This continues each time I reboot. The only fix, I have found is to disconnect the power and remove the battery for thirty seconds. Then everything reboots as normal.

This has happened to me several times, the same scenario.

Does anyone have a hint for me on what might be happening?

Dell Inspiron N5110 :: Won't Start Up When Battery Is On Place

Apr 25, 2013

I was working on my laptop without the mains power and it completely went dead and refused to restart.

If I take the battery out and use on mains only the pc is fine.

Does this mean the battery is causing the start up fault and needs replacing?

Dell Inspiron 1525 :: Start Up - Battery Cannot Be Verified Warning

Mar 19, 2013

My laptop is unable to start up fully. I press the start up power on button and the computer loads the Dell Intel screen and sometimes makes it to the microsoft start up screen. I end up recieving a warning of the battery cannot be identified and this system will be unable to charge this battery. strike F1 to continue, F2 to run the setup utility, Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics.

I have had the laptop and the same battery for almost 5 years. the batery life has been degrading over the last couple years and was to the point of only having 20 minutes of life. I left my laptop in the car for a couple days when it was very cold. I brought the laptop in to back it up onto my external hard drive and notced in the lower right hand corner that the laptop was charging yet their was a red X displaying near the battery.  The latop shuts down if i disconnect the power supply.

Dell Inspiron 15 7537 :: Refused To Start Until Remove Battery And Put It Back In

Dec 10, 2014

I own a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series i7537T-5005sLV.A short while ago I tried to power on my laptop but it didn't come on. I thought that the battery drained and I didn't notice however when I plugged in the power cord no lights came on. I decided to open up the laptop and remove the battery and put back the battery and try to power on the laptop. It came on after doing that and I saw lights again.

I also notice that after reseating the battery, the latency between pressing the power button and the laptop actually coming on is shorter. It is almost instantaneous.Before there was about a 1.5 seconds delay. (THIS COULD BE MY IMAGINATION THOUGH)

I also noticed that I got little "pinches" or small shocks when my skin comes in contact with the edge of the laptop, especially at the end of the palm rest area. The shocking sensation could be cause the hair on my hands as my skin brush along the edges of the laptop as I type. I say this because I've never experienced a shock touching anywhere else on the laptop and I never felt a shock while using the tips of my fingers to touch the edges. 

One last thing I feel I should mention. Around the SD card slot area there is a small dent protruding outwards; barely noticeable. It was a brand new laptop and the seal on the box wasn't broken or tampered with so I am assuming that this was a manufacture's defect. One I was willing to overlook since the dent wasn't that bad and added some character to the laptop. However I am beginning to worry that the unit might be damaged and that is why I had the power issue.The laptop is about two weeks old. I had to replace the first one because the display had horizontal waves running from top to bottom. Even in the BIOS. They were especially visible against gray backgrounds.

Sony :: TX Requires Battery Removal Before It Will Start

Feb 9, 2009

TXN25
XP Pro

In the past few days, a new problem arose. Pushing the green ON button is not enough - the light doesn't come on, nothing starts.

I must remove the battery and replace it, then all is well.

What could have caused this?

(This TX is about to be replaced by a Toshiba R600 with an Intel SSD - perhaps it's embarrassment?)

Acer Aspire R7-572 :: Doesn't Start On Battery

Oct 13, 2014

I just bought a brand new Acer R7-572-6805. When I press power button nothing happens if AC adapter is not plugged in. I would expect laptop to start/boot because the battery inside is brand new and fully charged.
 
Also, I'm worried that nothing happens when I press for 4-10 seconds a battery-reset button  on the bottom of the laptop in a small hole in the middle (I use paperclip).
 
1. Update BIOS to the newest version 2.04. Note: during flashing new BIOS version the orange LED didn't blink but shined!
2. Tightened all screws on a casing.
3. Replaced a charger.
4. Pressed batter-reset button.
5. Pressed power button for more than 10 seconds while AC adapter was plugged in, was not plugged in and when battery was not plugged in too.
4. Reinserted battery many times.
5. Checked voltage of a battery. Two cells showed 3.11V and the other two cells showed 3.81V. I manually charged the first 2 to 3.78 so that all 4 cells have similar voltage. The proper voltage makes me think that the battery is fully charged.
 
Other observations:
1. When AC adapter is plugged in then the orange LED is blinking (it seems to indicate that the battery is low) after approximately 6 seconds from pressing power button, i.e. from start. It doesn't change if I go to BIOS or go on with Windows boot.
2. When battery detached then the orange LED does not shine at all.
3. When AC adapter is plugged in then laptop starts.
4. Windows 8.1 is installed. The first time I used the laptop I plugged AC adapter in, powered on the laptop and went on with the installation.
5. Wall AC outlet provide 230V in my country (in contrast to 110V in US, but it shouldn't matter becuase the charger is capable of working in both systems according to its specification).

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Won't Start Up After Battery Was Drained

May 28, 2010

I left my T400 on overnight running on battery (clearly not the brightest idea), and now it won't start up.  The plug and battery lights do illuminate when I plug it into an outlet; when I turn it on, the num lock and caps lock lights illuminate briefly, and the power status indicator light illuminates.  It makes a few whirring noises, and then just sits there.  !

HP Pavilion Dv6-6c04ea :: Battery Alert Message On Start Up

Sep 14, 2014

Pavilion dv6 - 6c04ea
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
 
Suddenly, I have begun to receive  a message on Start Up from HP Battery Alert. The message tells me that the level of the battery is critically low and that I may have to replace it. There is a web address offered to find out more - www2.hp.com/techcenter/startup/ (that address led me to this forum)
 
The battery charge monitor in the far right of the status bar tells me that there is no charge in the battery so that I can't use it without the mains lead. It also tells me that it is not charging, even though the mains lead is connected.

Dell Latitude E6510 :: Will Not Start / Power Light Goes On Briefly / Battery Light Flashes

Oct 24, 2011

I have a Latitude E6510 that will not start.  When pressing the power button, the power light goes on for about 5 seconds and then turns off.  I also notice the battery light flashes a few times when re-connecting the AC adapter.

Removed the battery, held in the power button 30 seconds, but still not working.

We have had this laptop about 6 months.  About a month ago, it exhibited this problem.  After talking to Dell Support, they recommended a system board replacement.  The laptop was sent in and the board was replaced.  When I got it back and tried to start it for the first time, it did the same thing.  I then pressed the Latitude "ON" button, and the laptop started.

Now it is doing the same thing, and I find it hard to believe that another system board is bad.  I am suspicious about this "ON" feature, that maybe the laptop is "stuck" or something trying to get into the "ON" mode.  Or maybe it is just trying to get into "ON" mode. 

I am not sure what the "ON" feature does, but I have noticed a few other posts on the internet of users having the exact same problem.  Again--I find it hard to believe a second system board could be bad.

Dell Studio 1555 :: Won't Start - Beeps 2 Times When Trying To Start

Apr 28, 2013

My Dell Studio 1555 won't start anymore. When I want to turn it on, I get a beeping signal (2 beeps) and nothing happens. I tried all possible troubleshooting tips from the dell website (disconnecting all power and hold power button, reconnect to power, checked battery with the button on the battery, all fine, can't get into bios because computer doesn't start at all) but nothing works. Recently I also checked if the motherboard is connected properly and there is no issue either.

I also purchased a new dell adapter because my old one was a little bit damaged. The adapter is like the old one, and it's originally dell and the correct one for the studio 1555 so it can't be the adapter. Laptop also doesn't start when the battery is not in and it's only connected to the power.

I'm having this extremely annoying problem with my HP Pavilion dv6-model1334us. Everytime I try to start up my laptop it always shows the menu screen saying Launch Start Up Repair or Start Windows Normally. I've tried to do a system restore multiple times, but the screen just stops on a blue screen. No it isn't the Blue Screen of Death, but it does attempt to start but fails and stands on the screen until it automatically or manually shuts down.

Dell :: E1705: Battery No Longer Powers My Laptop (NOT Bad Battery)

Dec 1, 2009

Last night I was using my E1705 running on battery when the thing just suddenly zapped off. I had recently glanced at the battery meter which was 75% full. I pressed the button on the actual battery which shows 3 of 5 lights on the charge meter.

The battery itself is only 1 month old and has been performing flawlessly. I just thought it was something random so I plugged the machine in and it started up.

I didn't think anything else of it till today when I went to move my laptop, removed the power cord, and the laptop turned off. I checked the physical battery meter which still reads 3 of 5 lights .....

Dell XPS 15z :: Will Not Boot With Battery Connected - Fine With Battery Removed

May 15, 2013

My Dell XPS 15z is showing the following problem :-- if I try to boot it with the battery connected (and AC power either plugged in or not), the orange power light flashes briefly and then the machine shuts down- if I remove the back of the case, disconnect the battery, connect the AC power cable and boot, the system boots as normal

Other observations

- BIOS version is A07, I can not upgrade this to A12 as, when I try to with the battery disconnected it basically tells me I have to have a battery connected to do the upgrade- when I click on the battery status button on the side of the case with the battery connected, one LED lights- when I click on the battery status button on the side of the case with the battery disconnected, no LEDs light

What are the next diagnostic steps?What is the likely fault - could replacing the battery unit solve the problem or is is the component which charges the battery which is likely to be faulty?The laptop is 18 months old but only covered by a one year warranty with Dell.

Dell :: XPS15 / Battery Has Permanent Failure - Need To Replace Battery

Apple :: Battery Battery Is Not Recognized - An "X" Where The Battery Icon Is

Jul 2, 2009

I've run into this issue twice already... once on 1 computer and another on this same one. It's the one where the battery is not recognized and there is an "X" where the battery icon is.

I've done all the Software Updates, Batter Update 1.3, and tried resetting the PRAM. So far none of these have worked. Now I'm out of ideas. Before after going thru those steps, the problem would be fixed... not so this time.

I know they extended the warranty and were replacing the batteries for free, but not sure this one would be covered under that.

Lenovo Z400 P/Y/Z Series :: When Battery Charges Until 60% / Does It Internally Disconnect Charger From Battery

Jan 30, 2014

I would like to ask about the Lenovo Energy Management software bundled with my Z400. Regarding the Energy Management > Battery > "Optimized Battery Health" in particular. When the battery charges until 60%, does it internally disconnect the charger from my battery? The Power icon in the System Tray says "Plugged in, not charging". Or does the software stops the charging until 60%, and when it lowers the software allows it  to recharge again? I'm worried about getting my battery worn out immediately, as I leave my charger plugged in most of the time.

Lenovo Y510P P/Y/Z Series :: Battery LED Turned White Which Indicates Battery Is Fully Charged

May 31, 2013

My 2 day old Lenovo Y510P laptop has a problem with charging. I noticed the battery was never going above 60% charged. I left it plugged in for over 24 hours and nothing changed. So I decided to completely drain the battery and used the laptop until it died. With the laptop off I left it plugged in until the battery LED turned white which indicates the battery is fully charged. Unfortunately the battery still shows 60% charged.
