I forgot my Z-series plugged in AC ( switched off ofcourse) for about a month or 3 weeks. I am so terrified that this might have affected the battery life? The laptop is brand new that makes me more upset

I bought my lenovo z400 ideapad beginning of April this year and just about two days ago it just turned off and though I plugged it in later it started saying 'plugged in but not charging'. What do you think is the problem?
Furthermore I lost the receipt ( the sales receipt) but there is still the model/series no. , is the warranty still on?
I installed windows 8.1 pro with WMC on my lenovo z510 laptop and installed energy management driver from laptop's drivers dvd. After I installed LEM (lenovo energy management) i started the gauge reset process for my laptop.
After some hours i saw nothing is happening so i made a mistake and cancelled gauge reset in the management software and after that when i restarted my laptop my battery icon says PLUGGED IN CHARGING but it just remians on 0% !!!!!
Problem solved by for example uninstall and reinstalling MICROSOFT ACPI. but notice that i reinstalled my windows 8.1 ! i changed in to windows 7 ! again changed it to windows 8.1 !!!
I updated the energy management software ! nothing happened !
Then try to restart to BIOS menu and from there restore BIOS defaults ! but i couldn't enter BIOS from any ways ! from pressing F1 ! from the way based on windows 8.1 and UEFI frimware settings (somthing like that) ! from none of them i could enter the BIOS!
So now my battery is still facing the problem !you know that it's not easy to unattatch and reattatch z510 battery that is internal ! so at last i must say that i've checked a lot of ways and now my battery is still having problem !
i tried to update the firmware but it tells me "No battery attached requires firmware update"
i tried uninstall and install energy management also didn't work
I had brought a new G500 Lap it was nice to work with it, but fo past two days when i connected it with charger it shows me "Plugged In, not charging". what to di with it but some times to get charging .
View 7 Replies View RelatedOne month after my warranty expires, my 12 cell dv5t battery stops dead in its tracks. No warning, no nothing! (Was working fine up until it died, and hadn't even lost much usage time, considering its been used fairly much.) And I have a 3 year extended warranty, that, of course, doesn't cover the battery!
But there's a tiny bit of good news. . . I learned a very good tip ---I didn't know, until I was on the phone with the HP sales guy spending $160 for a new one (double grr) that you can still use your laptop with a dead battery, if you take the battery out! I thought there was no way to use my laptop, and now I can, so at least I won't lose valuable computing time while I'm waiting for UPS. Small consolation, but I HATE it when I don't have access to my computer!
When I watched a film the other day the laptop was actually burning me. I installed speedfan and it said the temperature was 74c
I thought well to stop it burning me I could plug it into my HDTV only to receive a BSOD 20 mins into the film claiming a video card failure.
It still boots up fine but even on desktop idiling its still at 60cand gets hotter still when doing basic tasks
The good:3.06 Dual Core CPU (Probably best for a notebook PC, performs better than quads IMO)1GB GPU (Mobile Radeon HD 4650) /Almost impossible to get a 1GB GPU on other brands with this price.
I have a problem with the GPU (see "the bad" below) but other than that, can play 3D intensive games like Crysis/Crysis Warhead in "Gamer 4xAA" settings without any problem (well until the PC crashes...).
High resolution screen (1920*1080 on a 16.4" / 134 PPI) Again, a no-brainer for that price.Price: Paid 134K JPY (approx $1400). Similar configuration costs over $2K in Dell, and has 512MB GPU.....
I have a FW-390J and yesterday I have noticed a dead pixel appeared at the lower left corner, that is new and was not there before..
This morning I found another dead pixel very near to the first one and if I focus enough I can see a couple of more fainted dots..
I feel a bit frustrated and disappointed. I had the same problem with a my previous Toshiba A300 which I replaced with this model
Do you leave your battery in while the laptop is being used with the AC adatper? Does this affect the battery life in any way? Definitely makes it lighter if its on your lap!
View 15 Replies View Relatedi have my computer (win 7) set to high performance. I also keep it plugged it but it hasnt been charging my battery, its down to 35%. Does it have some sort of a cycle function where it waits until the battery is drained and then charges it back up? I dont want it to do this because when i need to use it on the go i would like a full battery.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got an HP Compaq nw8240 and when I move the mouse over the battery icon it says Plugged In, Not Charging. It only shows a 40% charge too, and if I unplug the AC adapter the battery will drain and then recharge back to 40% again.
I'm running the latest version of Windows 7 also.
I've also tried updating the BIOS but when I download the file from HP's support site it and run it all it does is restart my computer and nothing changes.
Can someone help me figure out why my battery drains while my laptop is turned off and not plugged in? It started just a few days ago and I can't figure out why it would do this
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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
I have spent two days reading forums & trying to follow suggestions. I have gotten a new battery (prior to finding out it might not be the problem), reconnected the power cord/adapter and did a bios update. Bios still says adapter is "unknown". Battery (new one) reads at 41% (& holding), the old one at 37%. Another way to charge the battery?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy year old XPS 13 Ultrabook's battery is not charging when plugged in. I measured the voltage of the power adaptor at the plug (the end that connects to the Ultrabook) and the voltage level seem fine at 19.4V
However when I plug and unplug the power when the Ultrabook is off, the LED turns on and off accordingly.
My Ultrabook is L321x, running Windows 7, and has BIOS A7 installed.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI just had a battery replacement for my Dell XPS 15z.. Prior to the installation of the new battery, the machine could only work with the AC adapter plugged in, raising the suspicion that the battery was defective. However, now that a new battery has been installed, the battery does not charge even whiles the AC adapter is stilled plugged in.

View 10 Replies View RelatedMy new Sony Vaio I ordered will be arriving soon. I did some research and the main criticism about the new laptop appears to be the short battery life.
I saw this battery on amazon for the Sony Vaio E series. Link
I was wondering would this give extra battery life if I bought it? I think the battery shipped with the Vaio is 3500mah but this new one is 5000mah. How many extra hours would it give? Just wondering if it is worth it or not.
Also is the battery for the 15.5" screen size E series or the other sizes?
I own an Inspiron 1545 and would like to set-up two profiles, one for use when on battery and one for use when plugged in. Basically,
I want my laptop to run at maximum performance/brighter screen when plugged into the wall and have it run in a power-saving mode when running off the battery.
The Windows7 power options don't seem to be able to differentiate between plugged-in and battery operation. Is there perhaps a program which I can install to do this or is it just not possible??
I had this plugged in but no charging issue and I called, they said it was the MOBO or the AC. So the guy came today and put in a new MOBO and used a new AC, but it still won't charge.
So he called Dell and they said it had to be the battery (even though we don't get the light 1/3/5 indication on the battery meter), and that since I was out of the 1 year battery warranty I would have to pay.
Well here is the thing, I have a freaking 4 year warranty on this thing, and it is barely over a year old and the battery already failed? WTH is up with that? Also, the guy said my battery warranty expired in March, but I didn't even place the order until June and I didn't get the computer until July 18 or even later. And they won't approve my battery replacement, they said if I called before the end of July (like 2 days earlier) I would be able to. This is ridiculous.
How can I disable battery charging of my lap top while the charger is plugged in ? (Dell XPS 15 haswell)...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had bought a new battery since my old one was dead. I charged it up and was using it for a couple days. After that, I got the "plugged in, not charging" message. I thought it was the battery, so I got a tested replacement battery. I still got the message, so I did that uninstall battery device manager solution, and didn't work. I also updated BIOS to A14, bought a new A/C adapter, and still no luck. The A/C adapters say "unknown" in BIOS though both A/C adapters are Dell. Here is a picture of the laptop jack. [URL] .....
