Battery not detected after windows install. Batteries tab missing in device manager too

My eM250 still charges fine but I have no way to see how much juice I have left. no after market meters or anything like that has helped. How can I fix such an odd problem?

iluvwhtchix,
I've looked at the quick start and service guide and do not see a standby button, what am I missing? LoL
It just sounds like there are some drivers that did not install, was this with the media that was sent from eMachines? There might be a drivers disc that could resolve the issues, if so. You can always go check to see if you have the right drivers on our eMachines support page.

Lenovo G710 Battery not detected in Windows 8.1 64 bit

Hi there,
I have the Lenovo G710. I haven't used the battery for a while now and I use the laptop by connecting the powerlead directly to mains power outlet. I decided today to plug the battery in. The battery indicator lights up.
Windows 8.1 does not detect the battery and it states "No Battery Detected".
What i have tried:
I have installed all the latest Windows Updates and it still doesnt detect the battery.
I even installed the latest chipset drivers for this laptop and it still doesnt detect it. The only update i cannot install is the BIOS update because it states that "Battery Not Detected".
I uninstalled the following from Device Manager: Microsoft ACPI compliant Control Method Battery. Switched off the laptopRemoved the battery packRemoved the AC power lead from the laptopHeld the power button for 30 seconds to drain the batteryReconnect the battery packReconnect the AC power leadTurn the laptop on.Battery not detected.
Can anyone assist what i could do next please?

Integrated Webcam/Mic not detected after re-instal/recovery of windows 7

HP Pavilion dv7, Product number: A6X02UA#ABA
So... After recovering windows and installing the minimum recovery image (No extra junk or files) I have a squeaky clean computer with the bare minimum on it. Everything is working great, Until I installed Skype and found I have no integrated webcam, or mic anymore. In the Device Manager, There is no imaging devices. It also says ALL drivers installed are up to date.
I have read everyone’s answer that "if its not in the device manager, its a hardware problem i.e. the short cable that comes unplugged behind the screen" But it is impossible... or at least 99.9% improbable. As I used Skype successfully prior to the reinstall of windows 7, and did not move the computer, close/open the screen, unplug, or even sneeze on this thing since last using the camera and mic. The only thing that has changed was the windows recovery. So far everything else works great. Even the Biometrics device. Why not the cam or mic?

Hello Nostopin,
I'll posted the link as an example of how to find a hardware ID in general.
However if you cannot find the webcam in the device manager which sounds strange to me if it was working correctly before, then there is no way to install drivers for it because windows does not recognise the hardware.
Believe me that I would like to give you a working driver but I cannot give you one simply because I have no hardware ID.
As far as I know there are three options now.
1 The hardware is broken
2 You didn't see the hardware ID (Which I doubt after your story.)
3 this video http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02452221&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en#N70
In my opinon there are no other options with the information I currently have.

Qosmio G10-133 - Battery not detected following Windows 7 upgrade

Hello, I hope someone can help my frustrations here.
Over the last couple of weeks I have successfully upgraded my laptop to Windows 7, increased memory to 2gb, purchased new laptop power lead, brand new battery and and resolved every issue that Windows 7 threw at me. The laptop and works like a dream other than one issue that seems to have got worst.
The laptop no longer recognises the new battery.(picture of battery with cross through it and a power plug) For approximately a week after installing the battery it worked okay but now will not detect it all. I have no errors in the device manager and windows has recognised the ACPI battery entries etc and has no issues. I have also loaded the Toshiba value added package that Windows 7 found for me but still nothing. The battery does not even charge although sometimes the battery works for around 30 secs on boot up if the battery is removed and put back in, and then stops again (once Windows has loaded) I have tried numerous things like disabling driver, reinstalling battery etc but nothing. I did try the battery iniitally with Windows XP and worked fine.
I have also searched the web and have seen many other laptops with Windows 7 have had this problem, including Toshibas. Some say update the BIOS but Toshiba have not released an upgrade since the original one in 2004 (which is for WIn XP Media Center) and there are no settings in my BIOS for ACPI etc.
Also, I cannot calibrate the battery as I cannot do anything with it. I dont think this is an issue though.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it or any links to any drivers etc.
If this is sorted my laptop should last for another 5 years!
Thanks for reading this.
Dickie

Hi
First of all I doubt that many other notebooks with Windows 7 have this issue. I never heard about this and normally the battery charging will not be controlled from the OS. It happens automatically and your battery will be charged if the AC/DC is plugged in. So the OS doesnt affect this!
To be honest I also dont know why your battery isnt detected but what happens if you power off the notebook and leave the AC/DC adaptor connected for 24 hours? After this it should be possible to work on battery minute for 1 hour or more.
If not it seems to be a hardware issue Maybe the battery doesnt work properly anymore and should be replaced. You should contact the dealer where you purchased it
By the way: Here are some nice and interesting tips about battery:

Plz help, "device not detected" after windows updates?? I have so

I have An Audigy 2 ZS, and have the latest drivers. It has been working PERFECT, LAST NIGHT I had like 0 WINDOWS UPDATES, i dont' know if any of these had anything to do with this. But, I just now went to the icon in the task bar, and went to change SPEAKER SETTINGS to switch to HEADPHONES as I ALWAYS DO, I was surprised when the "unable to change the sound device to your selected device", you press ok, and it comes up TWO MORE TIMES, Right after each other.
I DO HAVE SOUND, FOR NOW. I have read other mentioning this error, but I didn't seem to find any answers. I can't go to speaker settings, or Surround Mixer,
OK, NOW I tried to go to GRAPHICS EQ, and an error came up that said "THE AUDIO DEVICE SUPPORTED BY THIS APPLICATION IS NOT DETECTED, THE APPLICATION WILL EXIT"
What is going on?
I went to device manager and it says that the device is working properly, and I DO have sound.
I DON'T get it. And I'm not likeing this. This is starting to worry me.
Does ANYONE know what is going on.. PLZ?

Thanx for the reply. I just now fixed it. I'm not totally sure what I did. Earlier I had uninstalled the device from Device manager, and then restarted, and it installed the drivers from the CD. It didn't fix it. So, I ran the LIVE update here at creative.com and downloaded the version I had before, I guess because when i had ran the update before I uninstalled the device the update wasn't there.
But, it started to update, and said something it had to restart the pc in order to install the update, and after it installed the new "creative audio console" it now works.
the whole thing was strange since I dind't lose sound at all. Just couldn't access settings.

Equium A300D-16C - Battery not detected after replacement

I have a Equium A300D-16C. The original battery was shot so I purchased a Genuine PA3727-1brs 12 cell battery. I have put it in the laptop it appears to charge it but in the corner it still says no battery detected even though its on charge. When I take out the charger it will say unknown remaining.
I have tried the usual tricks of going into device manager and uninstalling the apci compliant control and still it has not sorted it self out. I have also updated my bios to the most recent one. I just wanted to know what else could I do so I can see how much battery is left and if the laptop can recognise i.,

Hello
Is it an original Toshiba battery from an authorized service provider?
Usually the new battery should be detected after first start I would recommend charging the battery while notebook is turned off. Then start notebook with battery only and check if its recognized properly.

Windows 8.1 Bluetooth missing from Device Manager

It appears after the latest round of windows automatic updates my native bluetooth device went missing. It is not visable in the device manager or the control panel settings. I have downloaded and reinstalled the latest wireless and bluetooth drivers, however I am still unable to view the device. This is a Yoga Pro 2 (64bit) running the most current Windows 8.1 updates. The latop has a native bluetooth adaptor which had been working with no issues. I have run services.msc and restarted the associated BT services and they are running. Would appreciate any help.

Surface Pro 3 / "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter"

Hi all,
I've been running the Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926) on my Surface Pro 3 successfully
since January. Unfortunately, I lost all internet connectivity today.
The problem started when I noticed the type cover wasn't working (pressing keys on the type
cover wasn't registering any typing on my screen) and my USB mouse wasn't working either. I tried removing and reattaching the type keyboard but this didn't fix the issue. I had to use the accessibility on-screen keyboard to sign into Windows (thankfully touch
was still working). Once I signed in, I still didn't have typing or cursor ability, so I decided to restart the computer.
Then it got worse. I noticed the Surface Pro 3 was stuck on "restarting" and wouldn't
actually restart. Since it wasn't responding, I held down the power button for about 10 seconds until it turned off. When I turned it back on, the type cover and mouse started working again.
Unfortunately, this is when the WIFI problems began. I had WIFI for a few seconds, and then
I lost internet. I disconnected/reconnected but there was a yellow triangle telling me there was some sort of problem. So I restarted the Surface Pro 3.
When it came back on, there were suddenly NO connections available at all. Opening the "Network
& Internet" settings page gave me the message "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter". And here I am, without internet on my Surface Pro 3, borrowing my friend's computer so I can type this message (he is also running
Windows 10 build 9926 on his laptop and is able to connect to my WIFI with no problems, whereas my Surface Pro 3 cannot even detect any networks). I have not dropped or damaged the SP3 in any way, and there have been no storms or power outages or anything
of that sort. Any ideas what could have happened to the WIFI on my Surface Pro 3?
Thanks for your help...
Ethan

Hi Ethan,
Currently, there are a few compatibility issue between the current hardware and Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926 build), this is mostly related to driver compatibility issue.
I suggest you download the latest network adapter driver package to install, when it is finished, check if it appears under Device Manager.
Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 2, and Surface Pro firmware and driver packs
https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/networking-and-connectivity/install-wireless-drivers
You can check if you can install the latest firmware package for your device.
Here is an article to talk about such things:

IPod Touch, not detected in Windows or iTunes...

First of all, hello to everyone...
i want to say that i read a lot EVERYWHERE about my issue and still i couldnt find a solution...
the problem is easy, i have a 3rd gen ipod touch, OS 4.2.1 now fully working... but, it's not detected in windows or itunes, as simple as that, and as u all have read in lots of other posts...
my ipod is now working because i took it to an apple store and they charged it in a MAC and they had no problem at all. the MAC detected the ipod, with all its content and my ipod's name...
but when i took it home -this has been hapenning since maybe... 5 MONTHS!-, i plug it in my PC and nothing happens...
ok, first of all, my spec... win vista home premium 64 bits, last version of itunes...
i tried ALL the solutions provided in APPLE official support page, and nothing happens... that means:
1- completely uninstall itunes and then reinstalling it... i ALSO FORMATED my entire hard drive twice!!!!
2- tried all USB ports and even an entirely different PC and nothing happened
3- bought 3 different IPOD to USB cables and nothing happened
4- tried setting ipod to restore, that way itunes SOMETIMES detected the ipod but i coulnt restore because of different error codes, so i had to take it several times to apple store to "unblock" it...
the only way it works -detection and charge- is with MAC computers or dock systems such as an iHome my gf has thats the way im charging it now, but otherwise it wont work...
i would really appreciate any help, since idont know what else to do!!
thx in advance!!

HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?

Airplay not detected in windows 7 itunes.

Airplay not detected on windows itunes even after windows update. Security & windows firewall not an issue. Please assist in re-installing the airplay option in my windows 7 itunes.

I, too, have the same problem. I have read multiple posts, but nothing works. It all began with an iTunes update. Airplay, my ATV, home sharing, and Apple Remote all worked. Now, everything that is dependent on iTunes does not work.
They are all on the same network. I have checked it and changed it multiple times. My ATV retrieves photos from my Win 7 HP computer fine, but iTunes might as well not exist. The ATV won't see iTunes through home sharing. None of my AirPlay devices are recognized by iTunes. There isn't even the icon. Remote doesn't recognize the iTunes library either.
I have reinstalled iTunes several times. Shut down and restarted everything several times. On two occasions, it all worked for a short time, so I know it can work. But I can't replicate that, no matter what I do.
I have disabled Norton security (and updated it). No difference. I shouldn't have to remove it since it all worked before the iTunes update. That's why I believe it is an iTunes issue. It once worked. Everything else works.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.
