 |
|
I was watching a video with 60% available battery left and then my laptop suddenly went black screen and shut its self down. When i turned it back on with my AC adapter plugged in, it was charging at 1%.
Does this mean my battery is dying and i need to have it replaced?

Maybe, 1. Tell me what laptop brand your using?
2. Maybe you didn't recharge battery correctly?( happens sometimes)
3. You could do the old fashioned jiggle it? =3

It happened many times, so now i either take my battery out with AC adapter in or with my battery in and AC adapter in.
Before this happened, I left my AC adapter plugged into my laptop 24/7 for well over 8 months. Then after that my battery started to run out faster and faster every time im using the battery w/o the AC adapter. I know this is bad for my battery life but i didn't know about this until awhile ago.

Nice info:
Personally, I think you should burn for using VISTA!!! (joking_=3)
But, other then that everything seem fine to me.
I guess get new battery cause it seems its bout time? don't you think?
Edit: Or you can make it your lifes journey to find the true source and
waste more money on a idelistic dream.(Excuse the edit, I was bored)

Ehh... maybe... I have my tried leaving it on for days recharging.
It does take a couple weeks on life span so you might need to stop
doing that too. =3

Can you send it back to Compaq to replace the battery even though i opened it many times?
I thought that when the battery is fully charged, it would stop recharging but i was wrong

This is most likely a lithium-ion battery... and they are very... Annoying.
It may not even be your fault... If you overcharged or overdischarged... or the PCB is fucked up... It could mean a completely ruined battery.

lol like 90% of all consumer laptops are lithium ion because they are the best cheap tech rite now
i had a hp laptop with this problem
its probably a faulty sensor for the power
on mine it would start at 100% then fall to 3% in 5 mins and then it would hibernate
basically you need to go to control panel and in the power settings find the thing "auto shut down when power is less than 5%" or soemthing and disable it
this solved the problem but now it shuts down without warning after 1 hr ish
its still better so dont complain

and that made me laugh so bad; that looking at the specs you think you can tell that everything else is fine.

Do you mean disabling auto shutdown when low battery and draining the battery until to 1% and then wait for it to charge back to 100%?
k i tried using this:
| Code: | To change the 'Battery->Critical battery action->'On battery' setting to "Do nothing" using powercfg.exe
1. activate the power scheme you want to modify.
2. open an elevated command console (windows key, type 'cmd' in start menu, press "ctrl+shift+enter", click 'continue')
3. execute "powercfg -setdcvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_BATTERY BATACTIONCRIT 0"
4. your current power scheme will show "Battery->Critical battery action->On battery: Do nothing" despite the option being unavailable in the drop box. |
Then Critical battery action shows up as Do Nothing
Ill try to drain it tomorrow
Do i wait for it to go to 1% or until its at 0%/dead?
Then do i recharge it while the computer is off/on?

| Lithium-ion is the only choice in a battery for a modern laptop. They usually aren't very sensitive to bad charging habits, but it sounds like yours needs to be replaced.

well i've got an option in the BIOS to do it for me, you could always check to see if you've got the same.
