Is damaged Mini 210 battery usable?

 My HP Mini 210-1032CL slid from the case and fell two feet onto a padded carpet -- which was too much.
The battery popped half out and was locked in on one side. I had to force it back in to unlock it.
In the process it scraped the plastic off two of the plastic covered brass fittings/prongs on the battery that mesh between their uncoated/bare brass counterparts in the netbook.
My question is: is it possible to still use it? Obviously the electricity flowed through the battery's plastic covered prongs and into the bare-brass ones in the netbook. But would a bare-brass-to-bare-brass connection damage the netbook?
Right now, the $167 for a new one from HP is not do-able. Not for a good while.

The risk is your decision.  The replacement battery is only $99.99 USD when bought from HP.
You can buy the battery here.

  • Hp mini 210 1040eh: a 10.8v or an 11.8v battery

    Hi!
    I have my netbook (hp mini 210 1040eh) for years. I'm going to change the battery because the primary one is not functioning properly. This one has a characteristic of 10.8V. I was searching for  a replacement with bigger capacity (5600mAh), and mostly found only with 11.1V.
    If I  buy one with 11.1V is it going to make problems for my netbook?
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    This question was solved.

    Hello @moni17
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I have included the maintenance and service guide for your notebook. Inside it shows the compatible replacement parts. Anything that is not included on the list has not been tested to work with the hardware, and could cause potential problems.  HP Mini 2102, HP Mini 210, and Compaq Mini 210 - Maintenance and Service Guide
    If you were to use a power adapter that charges at a higher voltage it is likely going to result in a  higher level of current within  the computer, which is going to make it run hotter at the very least.
    I hope this helps.

  • WIN 7 Home Premium and a HP mini 210-1000!

    Have mini 210-1000, refurb, came with a WIN 7 Starter, never did check and record the product key that came with...ERROR!
    1.  Went on line 12 days ago and purchased WIN 7 Home premium.  Have spend HOURS on line with MS techs trying to get it to install.  Came here before I waste any more time.
    This machine has 1G RAM - CAN it install WIN 7 Home premium?
    2.  Since the last attempted install (MS using PowerISO Virtual Drive Manager (free download ver.), and which was UNsuccessful, my HP and MS now tell me that my WIN 7 Starter is 'not genuine' and they give me several options to obtain the product key. 
    The product key in control panel/status is not EVEN in the correct format and starts with 2 (unacceptable) zeros...
    IF this machine was refurbed by HP or Contractor, does HP have a usable product key to return me to normal operation?  Am having trouble re-reaching the MS tech, I believe HE's out of ideas...
    ANYone know a guru ?  Am not quite ready to invest  $$$ to fix a mess that MS started - and it's a long, long story...which takes me back to the original question:  am I asking my Notebook to install WIN 7 Home Premium when it's not able??
    Thank you for any help you can provide!

  • HP mini 210 and un2400 Qualcomm

    Dear All,
    did anyone try to physically install a Qualcomm un2400 3g card into an HP MINI 210 (1020)? Is it compatible with the internal shape of the machine? Does it use the back SIM card slot (behind the battery)?
    I read about this piece of HW in various forums, but only related to SW installation, while I have a brand new HP mini 210 _without_ the 3g connectivity and I'd like to add this card to my machine (but only if it is compatible and can fit in the chassis).
    Thanks, Alessandro

  • I have an hp mini 210-4000 that has had no sound for 48 hours, little help?

    Model: HP Mini 210-4000
    O/S: Windows 7 (starter)
    I have had no audio for about 48 hours now and am looking for some help please. At first I thought that it may have been a hardware failure but having done a system check windows is informing me that the internal speaker is enabled and that it is working normally. There has been no physical damage to the notebook either.
    I have tried all of the standard troubleshooting techniques that are suggested and have tried restoring everything to the way it was about 4 days ago with no success.
    The light next to the mute button has stopped lighting up no matter whether it is set to mute or not. In terms of the software if I perform standard tests and play audio through any programs it is being recognised by everything (speaker icon, 'beats' audio desk, applications etc) but there is just nothing to be heard.
    The notebook is set to normally install automatic updates and I have seen from the forums that other people have been experiencing similar problems from across the board. Has an update been released that may have caused this?
    Any help that people can offer in rectifying this problem that I'm assuming is software-based would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

  • Mini 210 not receiving power

    I'm stumped on how to fix my mini 210 and I'm hoping someone can help me. 
    I started having problems with the computer not recognizing that it was plugged in. After a while the tip of the power cord actually broke off so I thought that was the whole problem.
    I replaced the power cord and the computer worked fine for about 10 minutes. Then it stopped recognizing that it was plugged in again. After a while the battery died and would not charge so my computer has been DOA for a while now. 
    I did a little research and thought it might be the power jack that was the problem. I ordered a replacement, put it in and reassembled the computer. It is still not recognizing the power cord. 
    I checked the connection from the power jack to the system board and there didn't seem to be any loose, broken, or missing pins. When I put the battery back in and tried to power on while plugged in, I got 2 blinks of the light that's by the power cord but nothing else happened. I tried it again without the battery and got no lights. I put the battery back in and tried again but still no light. 
    The only other thing I can think of is a loose connection on the system board but I'm not advanced enough to be able to fix that. Can anyone else think of anything I may be able to do before giving up and buying a new computer?

    Try to check if it's just the OS not recognizing the power. With the battery out, and power cord plugged in, does it continues to provide power? This means if the power LED lights up.
    If still no, I would recommend buying a new one. This is a perfect excuse. 

  • Blocked GSM Slot in HP Mini 210

    I have a HP mini 210 series laptop with builtin GSM card Slot which is physically blocked. I checked in the system help files & it says that the Slot is provision only. Any ideas when it will be made usable by HP and if it has been already, what is the process of activating it? Pls advise.

    Hi:
    Other people on this forum have upgraded their notebooks with W7 Starter to 2 GB of memory and even though the service manual states only 1 GB will be recognized, they report that a  2 GB are recognized in the BIOS and operating system and 2 GB works fine.
    Below is the link to the service manual which will tell you what speed memory to get.  Again, 2 GB will work fine with W7 Starter.

  • Mini 210 new model - Do the batteries stick-out?

    So I ordered a mini 210 with a 3-cell and a 6-cell thinking if I didn't like the big part sticking out all the time I could use the 3-cell. As shown in the picture when selecting battery options. But then I saw this video on youtube:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsrawkE2yDM
    He said it was a 6-cell and it didn't stick out at all like the picture when ordering. Is he mistaken or is this the new 6-cells.
    If that is really what the new 6-cells look like is there anyway I can change my order?

    Hi,
    You may want to see if you have the option in your Bios Menu described in the link below.

  • HP Mini 1030NR Battery Bulging

    The battery on my HP Mini 1030NR appears to be bulging. I went to put it back in its case and when I flipped it over I noticed that the battery was bulging and had cracked the casing.
    It still holds a charge, but I'm assuming it isn't safe to use. Is there any way to get a replacement?

    I assume you are long out of warranty. The HP Mini batteries are unfortunately known to do this. I would call HP and see if you can talk them into a new battery. Good luck. If not, they are sold on this site in the Store or on eBay.

  • Solution - Battery error is detected. Irreparable damage to the battery has been detected. Replace

    I own a T61 7658 I bough on 2008, it worked great with the default power settings until October 22nd I decided to change my power profile to MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.  
    Next day I received on Message Center...
     10/23/2010 - Battery health is critical. With the current system settings and a full charge, your battery can provide approximately 3.0 hours of use. A new battery could provide up to an estimated 5.5 hours.
    I kept using the Laptop with the Max performance until...
    11/12/2010 - Battery error is detected. Irreparable damage to the battery has been detected. Replace the battery with a new one. 
    I have used IBM/Lenovo  for years and even had used batteries for 5 years without a single issue.
    I have read many posts of people having the same problem not only with T61s, but many other Lenovo models, and also read posts of Lenovo's administrators suggesting this is normal and justifying that batteries should be good for at least 12 months and after that we are on own, basically meaning we should be thankful in name of our own safety that we had that battery protection and we must replace it at our own cost and forget about it.  That is a very easy way out, isn’t it.
    But certainly, not only batteries with more than 12 months are failing, even new batteries are and have been replaced with multiple exchange programs posted by Lenovo in their website just as in http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/batt/082009/LandingPage.html. and also in multiple MIGR battery replacement campaigns available to all online as well. 
    Good thing here is that Lenovo has recognized the problem and has exchange the batteries still under warranty and also few of the batteries without warranty limiting to some serial numbers on the MIGR battery replacement campaigns, but the bad side is that Lenovo is leaving behind other clients like me and many others not being selected for replacement.  But I’m sure we all have a good battery but turned useless due to the Lenovo programmed safety temperature limits in the power manager and the battery board.  Please let me explain.
    This is my conclusion.  There is nothing wrong with used or new batteries or their cells in 99% of the cases, I'm sure my battery is okay although is being turned useless by the battery protection feature on my T61.
    Lenovo must recognize the problem is the settings they have programmed on the power manager and battery protection board. It is very understandable that when users select a Power Scheme that demands higher amounts of power to generate better performance on the system this also demand additional power generating heat on battery and on the power supply as the computer is running at full performance, just as happens on my ipod when watching video, or in my kid’s R/C truck when running continuously and will happen with any other battery powered device.  
    Therefore any scheme requiring performance is generating heat and is tripping the battery protection and this is not a client’s fault, as are we just using an available scheme provided on our Lenovo system. If the battery protection is not calibrated to support this power demand, then there is a poor design/testing of the capabilities of the system and the battery protection parameters that instruct the battery to save itself from a fire or burning … which is understandable. 
    The bad side is that there is not possible reset option for the end users, the only option is to buy a new battery at our own cost after the 12 months of warranty, when the cause of the problem is originated in the computer system design settings and can happen at any time, that is way, the system warned me, as in:
     10/23/2010 - Battery health is critical. With the current system settings and a full charge, your battery can provide approximately 3.0 hours of use. A new battery could provide up to an estimated 5.5 hours.
    The computer is saying! At maximum performance, You are using too much power, and my battery will last just 3 hrs (9 cells on my system) instead of the 5.5 hrs that should last. But not only the running time was reduced, the heat on the power supply system and Battery was also increased due to the higher power demand, the battery can not handle the demand and protect itself to prevent fire or damage.
    So who has to pay for this?  Can Lenovo do something about it? For us client and for future clients?  This not a matter of having or not having warranty, this can happen at any time in any computer.
    I'm writing this hoping to be heard and supported and I hope LENOVO provides a satisfactory solution to the issue.  I'm not going to say will never buy Lenovo again I already did, I invested my money on Lenovo and with warranty or not I'm looking forward to get a decent response.  
    Lenovo must change the parameters for tripping battery protection probably handled at BIOS level, and to provide a reset feature to all "locked" batteries there is many people that has lost at least one battery, some other more than that.  Since even if we get a replacement, the chances  the issue will continue is there, as long as I select a high power demand scheme the problem sooner or later will be back.   Even car makers support their clients beyond the warranty if they detect that the issue compromises safety and their reputation.  Fix it. 
    M.Padron.

    amtho, welcome to the forum,
    start by looking at this site and also look at this site which is actually linked to from the first one.
    Hope this helps

  • HP Mini 210-4000 Blue Screen of Death PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA error

    I've been up and down the Forums here with no specific luck, unfortunately, so I'm going to ask even if this has been queried and solved in another part of the site which I may have missed.
    I am trying to sort out a friend's HP Mini Notebook, model HP Mini 210-4125sa. The machine started up well enough until a week ago, when it suddenly decided to blue screen.
    The specific error message text displayed within the BSOD reads as follows:
    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
    TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
    *** STOP: 0x00000050 (0x87E40000, 0x00000000, 0x92442B13, 0x00000000)
    I can not boot past the Windows 7 loading screen - the load bar makes it two fifths up and that's it.
    I had thought to try and recover the operating system, if at all possible, from what is apparently a recovery partition that is created on the HD ( i haven't worked with these machines before unfortunately), although i cannot figure how to get at this partition before the error hits.
    Also, having attempted to download a piece of software from the HP USB Recovery Flash Disk Utility, i realise that it seems necessary to actually use this from the notebook itself, which is not possible.
    Having started running the various onboard tests from the BIOS menu, the Hard Disk Test has just apparently failed (specifically the Hard Disk Optimized DST portion of the test), with failure ID GGBXXV-66A75U-MFPX0J-61VV03 (i'm not certain if this information is of value but am including it nonetheless).HP have not unfortunately been an awful lot of help as they wil only offer a one-off technician support call for forty quid, or to take the notebook away for repair, the cost of which is practically as much as the original cost of the hardware. I would of course prefer to try and sort this out myself but have hit a bit of a wall at the moment. Any suggestions would be fantastic, at this point.
    This question was solved.

    That hardware test for the hard disk is a dead giveaway of a failed item. A failed hard disk  is a show stopper.
    Hard Disk Optimized DST portion of the test), with failure ID GGBXXV-66A75U-MFPX0J-61VV03 (i'm not certain if this information is of value but am including it nonetheless) It is important information. 
    A corrupted NTFS volume (the hard disk) can also generate the " PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA error"  stop message.
