Battery/charging/heating problems

i have the original ipone. it is 18 months old and i have this week started to have problems with the batterylife. i note that when i use it and or charge it it seems to heatup unreasonably fast and the battery seems not to hold a charge.

One suggestion, re-install the latest update with PCC to smooth things out.

Battery and heating problem

Hi, recently my macbook has been heating up fast. Real fast, within 5 minutes of starting up my macbook, i can hear the fan running at high speed. And my battery life has significantly been shorten as well. At full charge, it can last me to a maximum of 2 hours. Anyone can help? I got my Macbook in 2007.

2nd dead iPod Touch 4G in 2 months? Battery/charging problems!

Hi everyone,
It seems as of tonight that I will have to return my second iPod Touch 4G in the last two months. In both cases, it was an issue where the device would no longer charge, and became very hot on the top of the back panel when the device was turned on even for a few seconds (while not being plugged in). In the first case, the device seemed to be defective from the time I opened the box, which was confirmed at an Apple Store, but they asked me to ship it to Apple Repair to be checked out. Apple took a very long time to get a replacement to me, but was good about that problem, and I was happy with the replacement for the past month when all of a sudden tonight the new one would not change and became very hot.
Is this an issue that anyone else has seen? I essentially only charged it off of my laptop or a wall charger unit, but it seems like the battery essentially is shorting out. I love this device, but actually need to use a PDA-type device enough that I am questioning whether I should get a replacement or go back to my old Palm TX.
Thanks for any thoughts/feedback on my iPod Touch 4G battery/charging problems.

Most battery complaints complain about loss of charge. The iPod is designed to lose heat through the back as the battery discharges. This is most common when using the device a lot - like playing games. If yours will no loner charge, by all means return it to Apple.
As far as being a PDA goes, it is as good as any smart phone out there. The PDA, as you once knew it, is dead and has been for 5+ years. Take your iPod to an Apple store and insist on a replacement.

My ipod 4G battery is heating like **** is that a problem ? Should i o to service center?

my battery i heating up very soon a i start to play games but the problem is dat its heating very hot should i go to a service centre?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Heating problem and battery backup

Recently I bought a macbook pro (7 days). I am facing heating problem and its battery backup is also not good, 3-4 hrs, but company claims 7 hrs. What should I do?

Yoga 3 Pro Battery Charging Problems

I've combined several discussions into one because there are multiple cross-overs of symptoms.
After reviewing all the posts, I see there are two types of problems discussed:
Battery charging but only to a certain percentage
Battery intermittently charging
Several people have reported success with their limited battery percentage problem by following the solutions suggested by MarinM and Vladtech.
For the intermittent charging, several people have reported that sometimes the battery charges, sometimes it doesn't. I'd like to dig into these reports. I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
When does it charge, when does it not?
Are there any patterns to this?
Does swapping electrical outlets make a difference?
Does the USB 2.0 charging port appear loose?
Does the cable show any signs of damage?
Does the AC adapter show any signs of damage?
When a second device is plugged into the extra USB port on the AC Adapter, does this impact Y3P charging?
Are there any battery error messages?
Thank you for your help,

Y50 battery charging problems

hello,
received my new y50 a few days ago and began seting it up. the first few hours it was working fine. battery charged up to the full 100%, i then disconected the power cord to let the battery drain down to about 20%. i then plugged it back in and shut the computer down left it charging overnight. this is when the problems started.
waking up the next day i turn it back on to see that the battery is only at 21%. no mater how long i left it charging it did not change from 21%. So i decide to unplug it again to let it fully discharge. while unplugged it ran for another ~hour all the time staying at 21% until i finally shut off out of nowhere.
plugged in the cord and turned it back on, battery shows 0% plugged in, charging. but it never gains any % charge just stuck there. i do some reading online and decide to do the generic power down, unplug power cord and remove battery, hold power button for 30 seconds, then reconnect everything and power up. When it boots up the battery indicator now shows 2% and over the course of the next 10-12 hours it increased by mabe 30% more. the indicator NEVER changes its percent the only way to see the change in the charge is to shutdown/restart.
today is the third day and after many hours of use i got stuck at around 76% (only reaching this number by restarting every few hours to get a new updated battery charge%) since it stayed stuck at 76% for a while i went for the more hardcore fix ive seen online:
power down> unplug power cord>remove battery>plugin power cord and startup on power cord only>uninstalled the microsoft acpi-compliant control method battery driver>shut down>re-installed battery>plugged in cord and restarted. the driver then automatically re-installed itself and brings me to where i am now.
now a few hours since doing that im up to 83% charge, but same problem remains the only way to update the charge % is by restarting/shutdown and occasionally i can remove the power cord and plug it back in while computer is on and it will update.
Any advice or suggestions on what to do, the 2 main problems i see are:
1. battery charge % doesnt update dynamically, requires power down of some form to update it
2. over 24 hours of being 'plugged in,chargin' just to charge ~80%

i have found the culprit to the problem, but it is one that doesnt make much sense to me.
if i try to install the intel video drivers from the y50-70 drivers page in lenovo support, or if i try to install the intel video driver from windows update, i lose the functionality of the battery indicator. it does show when its connected to ac or runnig on battery power, but it wont update the % load nor time remaining. only way to charge to full is when off.
i did ANOTHER fresh install and am currently running with all drivers installed except for any version of intel video driver and the battery indicator and charging times when powered on are functioning.
any chance to get new intel video drivers for win 8.1 for hte y50-70?

Intermittent battery charger problem

The green LCD on my Blackbook magnetic end of the battery charger sometimes glows dull when I connect it and has to be disconnected and reconnected again before it glows green . Any idea what's up - connnections are clean and no sign of loose or bet connectors. Intermittent problem that's buging me

I've got the exact same problem, but a little more severe, I'm afraid. It used to be nothing more than what you described, but it seems to get worse over time. In fact, I downloaded that firmware update that was supposed to fix the battery problems the moment I became aware of it, and it has only seemed to hurt. I used to be able to just unplug/plug the cable, and it would work. Now I have to sit for five to ten minutes just to get the dull light, and if it becomes bright to signify charging, the slightest motion stops the charging. P.S. I am typing this on a Windows PC against my will, as I cannot get my MacBook to charge at all right now.

Problem with my iPhone 4s battery/charge.

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Iphone 4s battery / charge. I read through different forums and blogs and I found that some other users has my same problem.
My phone is loosing charge faster than anytime before. All started two weeks ago, before iOs 6.1.3 release. I use to charge the phone up to 100% every night. One mornign, i switched on the phone and I could no hear the typical sound of the screen unlocked. In addition the keyboard made no sound. I tried to control the volume with the side buttons, but once I pressed one of the two, nothing appeared under the speaker / sound logo. I left the phone just for a while and then the sound was back on. From that day till today, this thing is happening everytime i switched on the phone after a recharge.
PLUS, I noticed that the phone is loosing the charge very fast. About 10% every hour, even in stand by mode.
I tried to switch off all the email account and do and hard reset, but nothing changed.
I bought the phone 10 months ago.
What I have to do?
Many thanks
Niko

I would like to know the answer to that one. I realized this was happening just after upgradeing my iOS to 6. Then when I looked up my purchase date, I was about 5 days past my one year warranty. So I'm dead in the water. Apple will replace the battery, but it will be about $80+. I took it to the Apple store, and they checked a bunch of stuff, but said that it seemed ok. I'm debating getting a battery for a more reasonable price off of ebay. But if it's the iOS thats draining the battery, then I'm not going to be able to help it. I wish I knew a better way to tell if its the battery, the phone, or the iOS.

MacBook Battery Charge Problem - With a Twist

I got a white MacBook in October to replace an ailing iBook. It ran fine for almost five months, with a slight twist that I've been reticent to come on here and ask about.
Problem #1: The battery charging had what I'd call frustrating behavior. The computer would not charge the battery unless I practically ran the battery down to nothing. Usually it wouldn't start charging until 20-30% charge. My old iBook would start charging at about 85%, so I just figured it was some failsafe that Apple was building in to the new system to improve long-term battery life. This frustration continued until today when...
Problem #2: I went to a coffee shop to do some work. I'd forgotten the night before that I hadn't let my battery run down enough to charge it, so the battery was at 35%. Okfine. I'll run it for a few minutes and then plug it in. I wait. 30%, 25%, 20% and whenever I plug it in to test, it won't charge. I run it all the way down to the point where the system automatically goes to sleep. The battery won't charge. I've reset all the things that can be reset, I've reseated the battery, I've turned it off and back on, I let it sleep for an extra amount of time to squeeze that extra bit out of the battery. No beans. The thing refuses to charge.
In system info, the battery information shows that it's completely dead (remaining power at zero across the board, not the negative numbers I've seen reported in other threads). The power information recognizes that it's a battery with 0% charge, but only says "Calculating until full..." Given that it won't charge, it's going to be calculating for a very long time. The battery flashes one light when I press the button.
I'm going to take it in to an authorized service whatsit on Monday, but in the meantime, what is it likely to be? I've seen answers ranging from bad battery to faulty motherboard. Is there any step I've overlooked to try before resorting to a trip to the store?
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Core Duo White 2.0GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yeah, if it says your battery is only at 18% of it's charge after just a few months, then there is definitely something wrong with it. They will probably give you a replacement battery, considering it is still under warranty. My iBook (2 Years Old) is down to 29% of it's original charge capacity, so I am in need of a new one myself :\
2 Years is what Apple says is the average life span of a laptop battery.

Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.4 on my iPad 3, battery capacity has drained almost 10%/hour without any use of the device. Prior to the upgrade, the battery charge would hold during periods of inactivity. What can I do to solve this significant problem?

Is there a way to uninstall iOS 7.0.4 and return to the previous version?

Downgrading isn't supported.
You can poke around in the settings. There's a lot of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need, such as notifications.
You can also look into background app refresh and background app updates. They can be running in the background and drain your battery.

Hp 530 battery/charger problem

Hi all
I have an old HP 530 laptop which came with a 32Wh battery. About 6months ago, I decided to buy a new battery since the first one died out.
I bought a genuine 64Wh 440704-001 battery, because i wanted the laptop to last longer when not plugged.
However, i came up with many problems such as:
(1) The 65w charger was not able to keep the battery charged and the laptop on at the same time.
(2) I decided to buy a genuine 90w HP charger, but i encountered the same problem.
(3) I bought a not genuine 120w charger with appropriate connector, but, believe or not, due to the high current that the battery draws when uncharged, the plastic tip of the connector melts, and that of course leads to serious problems. I bought a genuine hp 90w tip and soldered it onto the 120w charger, and same problem occurs.
I have spent a lot of money just because i wanted a longer life battery, and nothing works right now.
What am i suggested to do, and mostly, why problem (2) exists? A 90w charger shouldn't have solved the problem of the high capacity battery?
Thanks
John

when the cord is plugged in, it doesnt connect into place. like it'd have to be plugged into the laptop and then the cord pushed up against something, like the wall holding into place. i dont think its anything within the laptop. and you have to turn/twist the cord for it to actually light up and charge. otherwise it stays orange and doesnt charge.

T400 Power Problem: Flashing AC Power LED, No Battery Charge, Screen Flicker, No AC Boot

I bought a refurbished T400 less than 3 months ago. Today the power status change beeps started going off every minute or so, the power indicator light went off (while plugged in) and the battery began discharging. At the same time, the screen started flickering.
I powered down and tried draining the static by using the old trick: removing the battery and ac plug and pressing the start button 10 times and then holding on the 11th try. Didn't solve the problem.
When I use battery only, the screen doesn't flicker.
Plug in power and the screen starts flickering again, with the power LED mostly off but occasionally flickering on briefly.The battery is not listed as charging. Nothing to indicate that the power is plugged in, except for the occasional flash of the LED and the power status change beeps.
When I power down again and stay plugged in both the power LED and the battery LED keep flashing. First both are flashing green, but in a few minutes the battery light turns flashing orange.
If I remove the battery, both LEDs keep flashing. Try to power on that way and nothing happens - the LED's keep flashing, but it doesn't power on at all
Battery is new (the first one shipped wouldn't hold a charge at all; this one lists as good condition).
I don't have another Lenovo power supply to try, but the current one doesn't appear damaged or bent at all. I tried jiggling it while plugged in and there was no change.
The last thing I did before the problem began was remove a scanner from the usb port. I heard the thinkpad ports were fragile, so I am always very careful and gentle when using. I cannot see any damage to the ports.
I have about 70% battery charge left to work with, according to power manager.
My 30 day warranty is over, so I either figure this out, or I'm out the purchase price of $260., which I know is cheap for a replacement laptop, but a lot for only ten weeks of moderate use.If it's the motherboard I don't think it would be worth replacing - am I wrong? But what else can it be?
Any troubleshooting suggestions greatly appreciated. Please help! Thanks in advance for reading.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. It is a fake adapter - no lenovo written anywhere.
Now what? Should I test the unit with another adapter, or check the output of the adapter?
I hope that is the only problem, that would be wonderful. I'll update when I know more.
