Battery question about Mega Player 540

Hi,
I recently bought MSI MP540 and I'm absolutely delited with it's sound and features, but...
There's always some BUT, mine is this one:
The salesman where I bought it had told me to form a battery as a first thing to do before further usage.
I came home, turn the player on and LED indicator stated that the battery is at full charge so I continued as a following... 
I connected it to my comp, copied some mp3 music on it and started to listen it for an aproximately 5 hours when the battery went to low and the player had turned itself off.
I read the manual which states that you should leave the player for a first time charge for an 8 hours.
Every other charge from that one should take aproximately 5 hours for a full recharge, or a 3 hours of charging for a 80% of battery power.
What's the problem then?
When I put my player to recharge with it's ac/dc adaptor it is recharging itself for a two hours only and then simply stops.
The power indicator on a player is yellow/orange and states full recharge.When I turn the player on and start listening mp3s only, it plays aproximately 4-5 hours until it's empty again.(just like the first time when I bought it)
Is this normal or not, cause the manual "sais" the things I already mentioned and "8 hours of total mp3 playing time" also?
Cheers.

thanks for your reply stu,
I appreciate your advice and hope that would help me.
I couldn't find similar question to the one I posted so I had left myself undecided between many choices; is the MP 540 manual correct or not,
is the battery fully functional or less power type, or am I doing something wrong.
Cheers

  • A few questions about audio player in iBooks Author

    1. How can I set the player to a small icon in Landscape layout? It seems that I have to display the player in the Landscape layout and show a big icon (which can't be resized) in the sidebar of the Portrait layout. Is there a way to customize this?
    2. I notice that the audio player in iBooks Author looks different from that in the actual iBook on iPad?
    In iBooks Author it's silver, which looks pretty nice:
    But in actual iBook on iPad it becomes black:
    Is it possible to customize the look of the player?
    3. Another problem about the player in the actual iBook on iPad: When I have multiple players on the same page, only one of them shows the progress bar and time; others just show a play button:
    If I click the one which only has a play button, the whole player will disappear (and won't play the audio clip). I must click the area (which the player is supposed to be in) again, and the player will show up with the progress bar and time (and other players will only have a play button).
    This is very annoying. Does anyone have the same problem?

    assuming you have a MovieClip mc on stage with the registrationpoint in the center:
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, zoomHandler);
    var currentZoom:Number = 1;
    var zoomFactor:Number = 1.1;
    var maxZoom:Number = 2;
    function zoomHandler(e:MouseEvent):void{
        var zoomCenter:Point = new Point(e.stageX, e.stageY);
        var mcCenter:Point = new Point(mc.x, mc.y);
        var _xCorrection:Number = mcCenter.x-zoomCenter.x;
        var _yCorrection:Number = mcCenter.y-zoomCenter.y;
    currentZoom +=zoomFactor-1;
    if(currentZoom<maxZoom){
        mc.scaleX +=zoomFactor-1;
        mc.scaleY +=zoomFactor-1;
        mc.x -=_xCorrection*zoomFactor*.5;
        mc.y -=_yCorrection*zoomFactor*.5;
    else{
    trace("maximal zoom level reached");

  • Question about media player files on websites

    Hi, I'm a mac newbie (3days now) and loving it. Starting to think why did I wait so long. Anyway exuse me if my question sounds dumb. Sometimes when I'm on websites windows media files won't show up. Do I need some type of download or plugin?

    Well those are both odd. Office programs would not open anymore even though Flip4Mac did NOT install?
    I have Mac OS X 10.3.9, QuickTime 7.0.4 and Office 2004 - and I haven't seen those problems.
    Try logging in as a different user (if you don't have another user account, you can create one Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts > + ) and see if Office apps work in that account and also if the Flip4Mac installer works there. If it works there, then you have some preference file weirdness in your own user's Library folder.
    If Flip4Mac still won't install, you could also try manually removing the Windows Media Player browser plug-ins from (your hard drive)/Library/Internet Plug-ins and / or try installing the older version 1.0.2 of WMV Player. The link is at the bottom of this page:
    http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm
    Then try reinstalling the newer 2.0.2 version if that worked.

  • Mega Player 540 Folder playing problem

    I've just bought MP540 and already found problems.
    When I save tracks in folder structure, I can't play all folders... It always plays only one folder (actual folder, in wich I'am)... I have to manualy change folder to another one when all tracks are played.
    I tried to move all tracks (about 600) to one folder, but it took about 40 seconds only to load tracks, another 15 seconds to start playing one - almost every activity is now taking about 10-20 seconds...
    Another problem is connected with previous one. Shuffle play. My MP540 doesn't play folders, so I can't Shuffle all tracks (I mean those in folders and those on "root" directory at the same time).
    How can I play all files in folder structure? Is there a bug in my firmware 1.00.15 or am I just stupid?
    Can anyone help me, please?

    yeah, i finally figured out the Sync feature of Windows Media Player, and i'm a lot happier now! i can listen to all tracks randomly, by just selecting 'HDD' and then tapping Play, as WMP copies all the music files into one directory.
    and the Artist and Album options now work also! however, the problem now is that if i select an album to listen to, the tracks are sorted in alphabetical order, and not in track order
    also, the MP536 is not recognised correctly when using WinXP Media Center Edition for some reason...

  • A dumb question about DVD player

    Hi, im new to mac. Got my macbook about 3 weeks ago. There has been a problem about the DVD player of OSx that i haven't gotten used to. How do you guys do fast forward (or vice versa) while you are watching a DVD? I found that Front Row only allows you to jump between chapters, and I didn't find any buttons or anything like that on the DVD player panel to do so either, except for the shortcut keys on the keyboard.
    Thanks.

    and in addition to Pmccain's answer if you go to "Controls" (in the menu bar)->Scan rate you can select the speed in which you scan through the disc when holding down the forward/back button. Anywhere from 2X to 32X.

  • Question about Flash Player Installer

    I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player installer on my Mac -- OS Mavericks.  The installer will not accept my password to install the update.  Gives the message "changed password"  I went to Adobe and changed my password, but the installer still will not accept the password or begin the installation.

    Hi Jean,
    The password being requested is not your AdobeID password.  This is your computer's password, what you use to log into your account.  Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player? for more information.

  • MSI mega player 533 - quick question

    I have an MSI 533 MEGA PLAYER with 256mb integrated memory (without fm) , i have upgraded the firmware to a newer version in january06 (dont know wich version ) , and everything works fine.
    Now, i would like to buy a Secure Digital card with 2048MB (Kingston) for it  , but i have read somewhere that the player cannot read very large memory  cards , but it doesnt say HOW LARGE  !    ( if that is true at all )
    SO , my question is how much more memory can i put into my mp3 player ? i would like to put as much as possible ! 1 gb is fine but 2 is better.
    are all manufacturers SD cards compatable with the 533?
    thanks !

    In the past I had tried to use “Kingmax” and “Sandisk” 2GB SD card, and those cards can be worked well on 5533, so 5533 is supposed to support 2GB SD/MMC card, but it must be latest F/W version v2.00.02, if your 5533 is not, please follow below procedure to update!!
    MS-5533 firmware update process: (Don't put battery)

    2. After firmware unzipping, it will show some files, please replace driver installation files (C:\Program Files\MSI\MS-5533)
    3. Please press sustained “play key” first, then plug your mega player 533 in your PC.
    4. Please go to "start" (below left corner) and enter "programs" and choose "MSI MS-5533" update now!!!
    5. As you update firmware that you have to select "format data area" and after update success, you can release of your finger.

  • Question about using new battery in old Powerbook

    I have a pre-intel Powerbook G4, and the battery is pretty much toast (lasts about 15 minutes now). I have ordered a new battery for it, and I have this question about using it:
    Am I smarter to keep the new strong battery out of the PB most days (as I usually work with it plugged in at home) and just pop it in when I know I will be out surfing on batteries? Or is it just as good living in my laptop 24/7 and only occasionally being called upon to do its job?
    Current bad Battery Information below:
    Battery Installed: Yes
    First low level warning: No
    Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1144
    Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1115
    Amperage (mA): 0
    Voltage (mV): 12387
    Cycle Count: 281
    thanks folks, Shereen

    Hi, Shereen. Every Powerbook battery wants to be used — drained and then recharged — at least every couple of weeks. If you've always used your Powerbook on AC power nearly all the time, and not followed that pattern of discharging and recharging the battery every week or two, it's possible that your use habits have shortened the lifespan and prematurely diminished the capacity of your old battery. Of course it's also possible that your battery is merely old, as a battery's capacity also diminishes with age regardless of how it's used. You didn't say how old the battery is in years, so this may or may not be an issue. I mention it only because it can be an issue.
    For general information on handling a battery for the longest possible lifespan, see this article. My advice on the basis of that article and long experience reading these forums is that it would be OK to do as you propose, but I doubt that you'd derive any significant benefit from it. You would still want to be sure of putting the new battery through a charge/discharge cycle every week or two, even if you didn't have a reason to use the Powerbook away from home or your desk, because sitting unused outside the computer is just as bad for a battery as sitting unused inside it. And you should never remove the battery from your computer when it's completely or almost completely discharged and let it sit that way any longer than a day or two.

  • Question about battery maintenance and longevity

    I have a question about the efficacy of the built-in battery maintenance of the Lenovo Power Manager utility; specifically how it pertains to my W520, if that makes any difference.
    With my previous laptop (an HP), any time I knew it would be parked on my desk for a week or longer, I would manually discharge the battery to about 40% and remove it to run the machine on AC power only.  This proved to be an excellent practice that enabled the battery to work like new for three solid years.  As soon as I stopped bothering with that, the battery life started dropping like a stone.
    Lenovo's power manager offers the option to maintain the battery automatically or manually override it to maintain a charge within specific range.  But I am wondering: how well this will work in the long run as compared to handling it manually?  And how do the two options (automatic and manual range) compare with eachother in terms of maintaining long term?
    I currently use the manual setting and keep it between 40% and 45%.

    I would put into manual, you have more control. Automatic follows a preset rule, which may not apply in every case or battery model.

  • Question about battery life

    Hi everyone,
    I got my refurbished MBP 13" mid 2010 model two Friday's ago (July 16) from the Apple online store and I have some questions about the battery life....
    Immediately after I got it, I followed all the battery calibration instructions from apple.com/batteries (and did it again after it because I was unsure if I did it properly). While it was charging, I was installing some recommended applications, one being coconutBattery. In the additional information section, it said that my MBP was 7 weeks old, has gone threw 10 battery load cycles, and had a original battery capacity of 97%. I am now at 17 loadcycles, with 94% original battery capacity.
    Now to how much time I get with the battery... I have done some testing of my own, such as watching some movies (Tron and Star Trek First Contact, I'm a geek :D), basic web browsing (5 tabs open, reading blogs, watching a couple of 3 minute youtube videos) and listening to an audio book (iWoz) with a tab or two open. The best battery life I have gotten (basic web browsing) was 5 1/2 hours, with 60% LCD brightness, keyboard backlight off, and bluetooth off, with just Chrome and coconutBattery open.
    Is this the average battery life for everyone else? I bought this because of its supposedly good battery life, and though I am very happy with my purchase, I just want to make sure that I have a fully working MBP.
    Some other notes:
    The battery meter next to the clock sometimes says that 98% is fully charged (I think it is just a glitch)
    The estimated battery life is between 9-11 hours when brightness is at 30%-40%, airport and bluetooth is off, and keyboard backlight is off when I am doing text editing.
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT: Forgot to say I have the 2.4ghz 250gb model.

    My MBP has been plugged in and fully charged for the past 2 hours and everything listed here has been the same, and here is some information in coconutBattery:
    Current Battery Charge: 5434 mAh
    Maximum Battery Charge:5490 mAh
    Current Battery Capacity:5490 mAh
    Original Battery Capacity:5770 mAh
    Battery-Loadcycles: 17
    Age of your Mac: 2 months (I have had it 2 weeks)
    Charger is connected: Yes
    Battery is charging: No

  • Some questions about the battery

    I have a couple of questions about the battery in general.
    Is it normal that my iPod Touch 4G charges very fast? It reaches 60% in only one hour and it's fully charged before it takes two hours. I know this is not bad but I'm just worried. How can I be sure if it's really loaded?
    Is it normal that the battery is very quick empty when I'm gaming? For now I'm blaming this due to the quick charge.
    Is it normal that for example my battery level is at 30% and when I put on standby or something or close a game, the battery starts rising for approx. 5% even 10% sometimes?
    Those are my question, I hope they are clear enough. Thanks in advance.
    Regards

    1. The tech specs says:
    Charging times: Fast charge in about 2 hours (80% capacity), full charge in about 4 hours
    2. Heavy use like gaming drains the batery fater then other use. The tech specs say:
    Video playback time: Up to 7 hours when fully charged
    3.. Yes, the indicate capacity tends to rise after heary draining is stopped.  The battery indicator is not that accurate is affected by temperature. Heavy use increases battery temperature and when it decreases battery temperature decreases.
