HP PAVILLION DV6000 REPORTS BATTERY NOT CHARGING

Questions:

I noticed that my laptop power stayed at 6% even though I was on power for over two hours. I checked and noticed this…plugged in, not charging. Please help

Solution:

I threw out a hp pavilion dv600 battery because it wouldnt charge, but the same problem occurred after a couple months with a new dv6000 battery.

Basically, power down the laptop and then remove the AC adapter plug. Remove the hp battery, perhaps wait a minute. Then put the battery back in and then plug in the hp pavilion dv6000 AC adapter plug. You then should see the charger light come on showing the pavilion dv6000 battery is charging. Perhaps wait a few minutes before powering on the laptop to confirm that the battery is indeed charging. The problem seems to be in the logic (not sure where, if it is the software driver, etc.) when the laptop is on, it doesn’t get a charge. But with the laptop off, plugging in a battery after it has been removed – it works with a simpler hp pavilion dv6000 charger system that doesn’t use the computers’s main CPU.

Also second , it is clear with my 6000, that the battery can discharge all the way after some time when powered down even though it had say 50% or more! This is well beyond the normal battery idle loss over time and I suspect the laptop has turned on in some way to drain the battery. So I always remove the battery after I have powered down the laptop, and I have not had any battery problems since then!

Finally, I agree with one posting I saw. The Pavillon HP laptops battery problems are truly the pits and may be enough for people to stop buying HP laptops! Where has all the engineering gone at HP?!

- Are you sure everyone is:

1) Powering down the laptop.
2) Remove dv6000 battery and power adaptor
3) Wait a few minutes.
4) Plug power back in and then plug back in pavilion dv6000 battery.
5) See if charger light (blue light in front) comes back on.

If not re-try this.

When charger light comes on, then power up laptop and check for charging.

This had to be done for me with laptop powered off.

Also, if you get it fixed and battery charged, remove battery after powered down
as it seems to discharge after not using, more than it should for being idle!

Increasing Toshiba Satellite A200 battery life under Linux

Author(s)

Bill Giannikos

Introduction

This guide with provide you with tips to increase your toshiba laptop battery life under Linux when running on a laptop computer.

Tips

Use kernel with dynamic ticks

Since kernel 2.6.21, Linux includes a feature called dynamic ticks. Without getting too technical, the kernel reduces the number of ticks initiated when the system is idle, slightly reducing the cpu usage at this time and therefore extending toshiba a200 battery life. Fedora 7 has this feature on by default.

Ensure ACPI is enabled

Not so much a problem anymore as manufacturers are more actively checking that their ACPI implementations work under Linux but you should check that ACPI support is enabled. Without it you will get terrible power management and greatly reduced battery life. You can check if ACPI is enabled and running properly by typing dmesg in the console. If it is not working a kernel or BIOS update may fix the issue, if not then look up your laptop on these pages for more details.

Use CPU power saving

Most modern processors can dynamically reduce and increase their clock speeds. A utility is needed to do this such as cpufreqd or powernowd. My personal recommendation is powernowd, it is a simple program but works very well. These two utilities are included with most Linux distributions.

Blank screen when idle

A simple tip. Set the power settings to blank the screen when idle for a few minutes. The LCD display is one of the main consumers of power and so turning it off when not needed increases toshiba satellite a200 battery life greatly.

Use PowerTOP

Intel have developed a utility called PowerTOP. It’s aim is to see which applications on your system are using processing power and thus consuming extra battery. PowerTOP is starting to be included with many Linux distributions and you can also get it from the PowerTOP website.

Digital Camera Battery Type

Digital Camera Battery

Batteries are the lifeblood of digital camera. And you will be using lot of them. Digital camera comes with two types of battery rechargeable lithium & rechargeable AA.

Lithium – It has the longest life between charges. Batteries that charges in the camera are handiest, since you don’t need an external charger. But if you are going to be away from source of AC for long periods, you will need to carry extra digital camera batteries.  These types of  camera batteries ( SLB-11A ) are very hard to find and bit expensive. If you use AA batteries then you have more options than Lithium Digital Camera Batteries.

Alkaline – These types of batteries are the most common and least expensive type of standard batteries. However they are not rechargeable, so when there life is over you have to buy new one.

NiCad - NiCad batteries are more expensive than alkalines, but they can be recharged. The disadvantage of NiCads is that they don’t last as long between charges as alkalines do before needing replacement. NiCads can be recharged 50 times or so.

NiMH - NiMH (Nickel metal hydride) last long as alkalines and they are rechargeable. The one drawback with this is their price and they require special type of charger. It can be recharged 100 of times or so.

Another important device which comes with rechargeable batteries is AC Adapter.

Adapter – To recharge the batteries, you plug the camera into an outlet via the AC Adapter and wait a few hours. If your camera uses AA batteries, you may have to buy AC adapter separately.

Samsung’s New SMX-C14 and SMX-C10

Samsung announced today the release of two new standard definition camcorders: the SMX-C14 and SMX-C10 ( to buy samsung smx-c14 battery / samsung smx-c10 battery ). Both feature the unusual, slanted-edge design seen earlier this year with the high definition HMX-R10. No pricing has been announced, but the C14 and C10 are expected to ship in July 2009.

The Samsung SMX-C14 offers 16GB of internal memory, plus an SD/SDHC card slot. The SMX-C10 has card-only recording. Both record in the H.264 compression at standard definition. Other specs include a 10x optical zoom, a 2.7-inch, 230,000-pixel LCD, and time-lapse recording at 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, or 30 seconds.

Like most of the camcorder industry, Samsung is taking a tip from Pure Digital Flip’s playbook and offering software built into the camcorder. When connected to a computer, the software facilitates simple editing and upload to YouTube. There is also a “one-touch” upload button on the body of the camcorder, a feature which has been added by several manufacturers this year, though the process of upload is rarely as simple the single press of a button.

The new SMX-C14 and SMX-C10 are designed with Samsung’s Touch of Color finish, a piano black with touches of blood-red, as seen in a selection of Samsung HDTVs this year. That, combined with the “alien eyed” shape, are sure to make for some of the most unique camcorders of the season.

    Toshia Equium A200 Battery Life

    Tips to Extend Your Toshiba Equium A200  Battery Life

    1.If the toshiba equium a200 battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that it be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place.
    2.Short toshiba satellite a200 battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns. Always charge a toshiba laptop battery in a well-ventilated area.
    3.When charging the battery for toshiba satellite a200 meter calibration, periodically do a full battery (PA3534U-1BAS Battery) discharge, every 30 charges, to increase meter accuracy.
    4.Another enemy of laptop battery life is heat. The optimal ambient temperature during charge is 50°F (10°C) to 86°F (30°C). If the ambient temperature rises above 95°F (35°C) the charge efficiency may be significantly reduced, and therefore result in a lower charged battery capacity.
    5.Dim your screen – Most laptops come with the ability to dim your laptop screen. Some even come with ways to modify CPU and cooling performance,this will also save on toshiba satellite a200 battery drain.

    Laptop AC Adapter Tips

    An Laptop AC adapter allows a laptop computer to be plugged into a standard wall outlet. It converts the “AC” (or “alternating current”) of a wall outlet to “DC” (or “direct current”) so the laptop can draw power safely while charging the battery. Usually, an AC adapter (such as dell ac adapter, hp ac apdater ) is built to last for years, but sometimes it does not last as long as planned. When caring for or replacing a faulty AC adapter, there are a few things to keep in mind in order to maximize its usefulness and compatibility.

    AC Adapter Compatability

  • Not all AC adapters are created equal. Some will have differing input and output voltages which makes choosing the correct one frustrating. If you are replacing a laptop’s adapter, always check its specifications to determine the power requirements. Also, laptop computers have different sized DC plugs, so make sure that the adapter that you buy will fit. Many universal AC adapters come with interchangeable plugs to prevent this problem.
  • Problems That May Arise

  • While it is normal for an AC adapter to get warm to the touch while plugged in, any other signs of trouble may require immediate action. If your adapter is making a high pitch noise, replace it. If your adapter stops working completely, it may be a sign of a bad transformer or a wiring issue. If you fancy yourself an amateur repairman, keep in mind that it is generally a bad idea to open up the AC adapter for any reason. In addition to being notoriously difficult to open (without a hacksaw), the internal components can deliver dangerously high voltage levels to inexperienced repairmen.
  • General Tips

  • An AC adapter’s secondary function is to charge a computer battery. A full charging session takes around two hours or longer if you use the computer during that time. If the battery is completely dead, you may need to leave the adapter plugged in for a few minutes before you turn on the computer.Avoid exposing an AC adapter (dell inspiron 6400 ac adapter, dell inspiron 1501 ac adapter)to prolonged periods of extreme heat or cold. Doing so could damage the internal circuitry and prevent it from working. Always wrap up the AC cord tightly when traveling, and avoid any contact with other metallic devices, like coins, pens or paperclips. These could accidentally short-circuit the adapter by causing an connection of the positive an negative terminals, for example, when bouncing around in a bag.
