Battery not installed message on X200T

Hi
I have a fully functioning Thinkpad X200T with a working battery.
I've been given a similar 8 cell new battery. It must be OEM or 3rd party as it doesn't have the same markings as the original battery.
When I plug it in, Lenovo Power Manager says "battery not installed".
Is there anyway to see if this thing works?
Thanks

if there are no markings on your new battery, then it most likely to be an aftermarket thing. Furthermore, if the new battery doesn't seem to get recognised while the old one does, then i suggest you don't use the new battery to prevent any damages to the laptop.

Jin Li

Battery not installed after update

I just updated my ThinkPad W520 using the System Update utility and after rebooting I realize that the battery icon is totally gray and shows the message "Battery not installed".
Checking the installations log of System Update I see
-Lenovo Power Management Driver 1.67.04.05
-Power Manager for Windows 7 6.66.1
And the Windows battery icon shows the info correctly
Is there any way to unninstall the updates?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have applied the same updates and the battery icon shows correctly on my W520. Are you using an OEM battery?

Battery not installed

Hi,
I've got a T60 that's almost 2 years old.
Just recently I noticed the PowerManager Gauge occasionally turn grey while connected to the power supply, showing the message "Battery not installed." A few minutes later gauge will turn green again and display the battery charge.
Is it likely to be a bad connection to the battery? It's a genuine Lenovo battery that runs still lasts a good few hours when running off the battery.
Has anyone experienced similar problems, or know of any tools I can use to test the problem?
Thanks!

I'm just getting this problem too - any luck with you chaps in fixing it? Battery seems to function fine, just the monitoring that is gubbed.

W530 intermittent battery not installed

OK, I purchased my W530 to replace a 2 yr old Sony Vaio. I bought the 530 because it had Win7 pro and enough power to run Solidworks. From the day I received it, I thought it was faulty because the battery would not be "recognized". Message and icons say "battery not installed". I HAD to go on a biz trip to Asia that week, so I had no time to send back to the NewEgg reseller. I lived with the machine simply plugged in all the time.
I once , while plugged in and booted up, turned the laptop over, and uncoupled the battery, then snapped it back in. Turned the unit back over and wow, the battery was recognized and showing full charge. Great! I could even unplug the AC, and the battery worked fine.
Next day, tried to boot from battery, and nothing. So back onto the AC, and boots fine. Battery lcon grayed out, with "battery not installed" in the mouseover popup. Tried my "trick" once more, but this time nope.
One note: the battery unit, 70++, does "jiggle" a bit when snapped into the W530. Not a lot. It's locked in and can't fall out, but it can slide out about .015 to .020 inch.
Anyone else have this problem with W530? Other than the battery issue, I really do like this unit, fast, handles Solidworks rendering well, and like the features so far.

No, it's completely intermittent. Plus with only a slight bit of wiggle, not sure how to "hold" it in place. I did try shimming with 6 post-it notes, just to one side or the other. No change. Now getting BSOD's with a message saying something about display driver and timeouts, then it'll do a "dump" and reset, so I can only guess at what it says is the cause of the BSOD.
Just sitting on my desktop, the battery chaged and recognized at 100% (green), and later it'll show a white colored battery icon with a red x in the middle of it. Sometimes I get a message saying it's not a genuine Lenovo battery. Sometimes I get a message that says it's not recognized.
Nice laptop. But I'm wondering if through NewEgg I actually bought what we who travel much to China call, a "Tribute" version of theW530. In other words, Looks like a Lenovo, feels like a Lenovo, but is actually a copy....I can deal with the battery acting funny, although for the price I paid I shouldn't have to deal, but the BSOD's are really causing me some worry.
Thanks for asking

Power Manager claims "Battery not installed"

System info: T530, Windows 7 SP1, Power Manger 6.36, Power Managment driver 1.66
Following a suggestion in another thread (to solve a Power Manager/Windows Explorer crash), I upgraded to Power Manager 6.36/driver 1.66. Now Power Manager claims (via taskbar icon and within the Power Manager app itself) "Battery not installed"
Solution, please.

I'll try the download but I have a couple of concerns. First, I upgraded to 6.32 in order to try and resolve another problem - Power Manager crashed when I tried execute a Windows Explorer "search"; it subsequently caused Windows Explorer to crash. I'm not eager to just trade one problem for another. Second, I need you to pass a message back up the management chain.
As a customer, it frustrates me immensely to have to try test-and-debug procedures which ought to be done by Lenovo QA personnel. I would feel a bit more positive if I could be certain that Lenovo QA had configured a machine like mine and tried to reproduce the problem themselves. It's bad enough that I'm spending hours - of "vacation", time, no less - to try and resolve Lenovo product defects, but worse, I'm not getting paid for it. (And yes, I do happen to know what qualified senior QA engineers get paid.)

"Product is not installed" message when running weblogic upgrade installer

Hi,
I have successfully installed WLS 10.3.5 and JDeveloper Studio using jdevstudio11116install.jar installer on my local machine running Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition . Now when I try upgrading WLS to version *10.3.6*, using wls1036_upgrade_generic.jar, I run into "*Product is not installed*" message. I tried even running wls1036_upgrade_win32.exe and the results are the same.
Appreciate if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong. I only followed the WLS install/upgrade documentation but looks like something is amiss.
Thanks.

Hi,
Appreciate if anybody out there can help me with the problem. I am wondering if the message cropped up due to the fact that I am trying to run a product upgrade specifically targeted at WebLogic Server instead of running a upgrade installer for jdeveloper since WLS 10.3.5 came with JDev installer in the first place. I am not aware if upgrade installlers are available for jdevstudio. Another way to put this is, I should have run WLS 10.3.5 installer first(instead of jdev) and the 10.3.6 upgrade installer next. That probably might have worked. Then again I am not sure this is correct.
Appreciate any help on this.
Thanks

How to deal with the "driver not installed" message?

My issue, and it seems many others here have it too, is how to install a printer driver in the face of the "driver not installed" message.
In my case, it's an HP4160 Rendevous printer. I've deleted the com.apple.print files in the Library, reinstalled the software, made sure that BDC package, or whatever it's called is installed, even downloaded and run the printer fix software from Fixamac.
Nothing works.
I have the feeling this isn't a printer or driver-specific issue, but is an OS problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

It appears the Deskjet 4160 will not work with an Airport. Connected via USB, the driver installs normally and the the printer appears to run just fine, although I haven't done much with it yet.
It simply will not work on a wireless network through an Airport. Frustrating, but workable by bringing the laptop to the printer.

T540p Energy Manager shows "Battery not installed"

Strange issue with my T540p: After having the machine running for the whole day unattended on mains power I come back to a grey Battery symbol with a mouse-over "battery not installed". The battery provides power, as the computer continues to run when disconnected from mains. Shutdown, taking out battery, wait does not change anything. The machine is a Win 7 x64 Power Manager and drivers installed via Lenovo Systems update, dirvers are current, no new available. Did anybody experiance this issue?

Thank you for your reply, richk! I have tried numerous things, restart, with battery either connected to the mains or not, restart without battery but with mains , taking out battery while it was running. I checked, whether there are old Software/Drivewr packages with the software recommended by ColonelONeil, checked for new drivers, reinstalled energy manager - same thing... Is thereany software, i can use to check whether there is communication with the battery? By the way, I see a new BIOS version, but I can not install as the process requires a "fully charged battery"...

Message "Battery Not Installed" when it is

When I run RAID Admin, it shows that the left battery is not installed. However, the green light is on in that battery. Any idea why that would be?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
Thanks,

Thinkvantage Toolbox Reports Battery Not Installed

Hi All,
I'm having a problem with ThinkVantage Toolbox. I keep getting an error that my battery is not installed even though Lenovo power manager 3 shows it as installed and in good condition. I've run all updates from system update 4 but it didn't resolve the issue. I've tried removing and reinstalling all Lenovo Thinkvantage tools but that didn't help either. I did replace the battery about a year ago through IBM but this issue didn't start happening until a month or so ago.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've not heard about LTT not seeing the battery, so reinstalling it might be worth a try...
This KB article might generically address what to do if the battery was not longer seen by the system, but not sure it would help since you indicate that power manager already sees the battery.
Good suggestions Serge1410...
Best regards,
Mark

You are using now 6.10.6159.0 D (SP43935.exe) version? Right?

Syncing iPhone - applications will not install message

After some trouble with my two month old iPhone4S I did a Master reset after a full backup. Now when I want to restore the application most of them (not all) will not install on the phone. Doing them one by one looks good in iTunes but on the phone I get the message "Application 'xxx' will not install". Any ideas on how to proceed?

If that's my only option then I may just buy it from the App Store and see if that works. It would cost me at least that in gas to get to my "local" Apple store. It just seems weird to me. All of a sudden iPhoto and iMovie stop working. I completely reset my macbook and I still get the same error. I've done the "Hardware Test" and the DVD looks flawless. I'm really just throwing my hands up.

Adobe Flash Not Installed message

In the last 2 months whenever I put in a CD that requires
Adobe Flash, I get an error message that it is not installed. I
have reinstalled it, removed and reinstalled it, Downloaded fresh
copy (ver. 10), removed and reinstalled it...
Any ideas?

Hope this isn't too late, but there are a couple fixes. This is happening because your project is configured (Properties > Flex Compiler > ) to use a specific version of the Flash Player or the minimum version for the SDK (14.0.0.0) , but your Flash Builder installation is pointing at a different version of the Flash Player debugger (11.4.402.265).
So you can do two things:
Download the required version of the Flash Player debugger and configure Flash Builder to use that executable when debugging
1. Click on the "Adobe Flash Player downloads" link in the dialog.
2. Click on the Download the Windows Flash Player 14 Project, which is the FlashPlayer executable that runs in Windows.
3. Copy the file to a new folder in the Flash Builder installation next to the existing 11.4 Flash Player (see your screenshot it is c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7\player\win\11.4)
4. Back in Flash Builder
5. Open Windows > Preferences
6. Navigate to Flash Builder > Debug
7. In the Standalone Flash Player(debug version) field click the ellipsis button to launch a file dialog
8. Navigate to the Flash Player executable you downloaded and copied into the Flash Builder installation above
9. Click OK to save the settings
OR
Update the project properties to point to the same specific version that Flash Builder is using (11.4.402.265)
1. Right click your project
2. Select Properties from the context menu
3. Navigate to the Flex Compiler panel
4. Change the Adobe Flash Player Options field to 11.4.0
5. Click OK to apply the changes

Java SE JDK not installed message??

Hi,
I am trying to install the JRE and JDK on my Windows xp computer, as I would like to install an Android application on my PC to use with my Android phone and to develop applications later.
I downloaded and installed the JRE, then the JDK from the oracle website, the installation wizard ran and was finished, I retarted the computer each time, but when I ran the recommended windows installer file which from "http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html" the message "Java SE Development Kit is not installed (JDK)". I installed both again but the same message appears. I have installed the android-sdk_r10-windows.zip.
Any advise would be appreciated.

BIOS NOT INSTALLED message on boot

Help! I have just put together a new (used) system with a P4 2.88 Ghz cpu & MSI 875 NEO FSR mainboard and I get the message 'BIOS NOT INSTALLED' on boot immediately after the first line. (before POSTS?) ANyway, it doesn't seem to stop or impede the system in anyway but is just an annoyance. Any advice would be very welcome. Thankyou, Chris

Like pharao said, you need to go into the BIOS & disable the Promise chip if you're not using it. I used to get the same message & it puzzled the bugger out of me.
