Hello systems1969,
You’re having a problem with the battery not working correctly on your laptop.
Go into device manager and uninstall the battery and restart the computer.
This will uninstall and reinstall the driver that controls the battery.
Do a hard reset.
Power off the computer.
Remove the power cable and the battery.
Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
This should reset the hardware in the computer.
As you turn it back on tap the F10 key. This will load BIOS setup utility.
Press F9 to load defaults.
Press F10 to save and exit.
The BIOS is what controls all hardware in the system. This will correct any changes that might have been made in BIOS.
When the computer boots back up, check to see if everything is working.
If everything is still not working correctly, go to HP.com and update the BIOS.
Here is a link to the update.
Also here is a link that will walk you through the steps to test and calibrate the battery.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

40 GB iPod Battery drains when mac is powered off

If I leave my iPod in the cradle ( connected via firewire) and the Mac is powered OFF, the battery will be drained in a few hours (or overnight). If I leave the iPod sitting wherever (not connected to anything), the battery will not be drained... normal.
I assume then that the Mac (G4 867) is sucking the juice out of the battery when the Mac is powered off. Is this a Firewire port issue or ?
I don't always leave my Mac on, and I don't always take the iPod out of its cradle... how can I stop this from happening?
G4 867 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iPod Click 40GB

Is this a Firewire port issue or ?
I remember a few people mentioning this problem last year, and I think the consensus was that it's a Firewire port issue, and the only solution really is to take the iPod out of the dock when the computer is turned off. (It might work to have an external powered Firewire hub, I don't know if the computer would shut that down or not).

hi, i was trying to look for the "ENERGY MANAGER" but i couldn't find it. also i searched it by typing but it's not showing, do you thing it has been deleted when the 8.1 was installed?

This setting is designed to help conserve the health of your battery if you tend to use your laptop while plugged in. It's not good for the battery to be held at 100% for long periods of time, so instead this setting stops chargins when the battery reaches 60% to prevent battery damage.

Lumia 820 / battery drain while charging

I have the Lumia 820 with the Navigon navigation app installed. I went on a trip this past weekend and noticed a strange battery drain while driving to my destination. The drive was a little over 2 hours and I was charging the phone the whole time. I figured I would test it on the drive home. I charged the phone completely before starting the drive home. I was camping so I had to use the lighter jack in the car which is always on and charged the phone from less then 10% to 100% overnight. Again the drive was a little over 2 hours, had the Navigon app open and running the whole time and the phone was plugged into the lighter and the charging icon was registering a charge the whole time. The only other thing running was cellular data. NFC, Bluetooth, Wifi, Nokia Drive, all off. When I arrived home the phone was at 45% and was very hot.
I upgraded from the Samsung Focus and using the Navigon app in the same car never ever had less power when I I ended a trip to when I started a trip. I use the Navigon app all time so this is a real issue. I am also going to post this on the Navigon website.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Solved!

I didn't have any problem with charging the phone, but I have another problem with the battery, I noticed that sometimes my battery started to drain so fast (I mean from 100 to 10 in less than 2 hrs!!!), even when I'm not using the phone! and when I pick the phone the area on the right hand side of the rear camera (which I believe the CPU located) is warm (it's not hot but warmer than rest of the phone). I managed my background tasks, etc. but didn't work. It seems that there is bug which sometimes the OS won't release (terminate) the processes (even after closing the app). I tried turn the phone on/off but didn't work until uninstalling the last application that just installed or opened. It happened 3-4 times and the last one was today when I opened my Nokia Music. At first I thought may be it's because of the 3G usage, but even after switching to the X-Box music to stream from my Micro-SD card the battery was draining fast.

Battery drained while computer in use. Plugged in and computer will not turn on. Does the battery need to reach a certain charge level first? Battery is 3 months old.

The battery drained while using the computor so we pluged it in but computor will still not fully turn on.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Hold the Power button for about 5 seconds to turn off the Mac (it may be turned on), and then, press it again. If it doesn't work, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If nothing works, take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get your computer repaired. Also, if you have its charger connected to the computer, is the charger light turned on?

Battery drains while sleeping after RAM upgrade

Installed 16 GB of RAM and a Hybrid/SSD 1 TB internal HD on MacBook Pro 15" mid 2012 and now the battery drains while the computer is in sleep mode, about 1-3 % per hour. Before the RAM upgrade (stock 4 GB of RAM) there was no noticeable battery drain, so I assume it has to do with the upgrade. I read that it takes more power to maintain 16 GB of RAM during sleep, so my questions are as follows:
Is 1-3% per hour normal?
Will resetting the SMC help the issue?
Does the Hybrid HD have anything to do with this?
I am not too happy about the battery drain as it happens that I don't use my laptop for some time and prior to the upgrade the loss of battery charge was not an issue at all. Is this the price I have to pay for maxing out my RAM or is there a way (resets, settings, etc) to reduce the amount of battery loss
Thanks for your input.

Hi everybody. I have the same question. I have a macbook unibody late 2008. I have recently upgraded the OS to Yosemite. In order to have a smoother functioning of the system I have immediately replaced my original 2Gb (1+1) RAM with 8 Gb (4+4). Since then, I have noticed a dramatic reduction of my battery charge during sleep mode. Now after 8 hours of sleep it goes from 100% to around 65% (before it was 95%). Is it a natural consequence of having installed a larger RAM or there could be anything wrong with my settings?
I have read a couple of articles about standby mode and standbydelay setting but this does not apply to my model of macbook.
Here is my pmset -g result:

Iphone 5 battery drains rapidly, I have turned off apps and location even purchased a new battery, is anyone else having this problem?

Iphone 5 battery drains rapidly, I have turned off apps and location even purchased a new battery, is anyone else having this problem? If anyone knows how to fix please let me know. I've tried the hard reset and nothing works.

There was a run of bad batteries for the iPhone 5. Apple will replace them if your phone qualifies and you haven't tried to fix it yourself. See: iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program - Apple Support. Unfortunately, you may have disqualified yourself if you tried to repair it yourself.
However, rapid battery drain is only rarely caused by a bad battery. A bad battery is usually diagnosed by a battery percentage that jumps randomly. See this for advice: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain

My iphone 4 is not giving me the text and emails it receives while it is powered off

My Iphone 4 is not giving me the text and emails it receives while it is powered off?

In theory you should still receive the message once the device is turned back on. The message is sent, then goes via the carriers servers and once a signal is available to your device the message will be delivered. This is the same with iMessages, the message will show as ‘delivered’ once the iPhone has been switched on and is connected to the network. However, from time to time messages may not be delivered. Do you know if this is a singular instance or if it has happened regularly?

Incredible Battery Drain While Phone is OFF

I'm on my third Sprint Pre right now and thought I finally found some rock-solid hardware. Sadly, there's this strange problem affecting the battery of my phone. When the phone is on, the battery operates like normal. When I turn the phone off at night, I get the low battery symbol the next morning... it's draining like crazy (I've turned it off with close to a full charge too).
To give you a comparison, while the phone was on and in standby for five or so hours, the battery merely dropped 2% or so. While off for less than an hour, I had a battery drain of ~10%!
So I ran a little test. I shut off the phone and then replaced the battery. No problems the next morning. Thought the problem was resolved. Turned the phone off the next night and the following morning I'm greeted with the low battery signal again.
My theory (I think it's the only plausible one) is that the phone is not shutting off completely and something continues to run therefore draining my battery. Hence removing the battery while it's "off" and then placing it back in completely turned the phone off resulting in no battery drainage.
Is there a solution to this problem without resorting to another exchange (I highly doubt it)? Doctoring didn't help by the way. Each refurbed unit I got fixed one problem and added others. Aside from this battery problem and some minor light leakage, this unit is quite solid. I love webOS, but the shoddy refurb quality is giving me a headache...
-UPDATE-
Strangely enough, both batteries I tested were defective. What are the odds? Sprint replaced the battery and now all is well.

My theory (I think it's the only plausible one) is that the phone is not shutting off completely and something continues to run therefore draining my battery. Hence removing the battery while it's "off" and then placing it back in completely turned the phone off resulting in no battery drainage.
My battery was driving draining too which was really annoying. I use it extensively to make Long Distance business calls and it would die after 20 minutes or so. I didn't try taking it out when the phone was off but I did get a free replacement so I think there must have been a batch of defective batteries. london

Battery draining when unit is off

I have a 8800 and would like to know if anyone else is experiencing the unique behavior of my unit. If I leave it on, the battery drains slowly overnight - the unit might use 3-5% of its battery availability, but if I use the Auto On/Off feature and let the phone go off for 8 hours, it will drain 50% of its battery while off. I have refreshed the unit to the latest firmware available from Rogers wireless and am also using the latest desktop software, and have no third party apps.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

That's a good suggestion - and I've actually already done that. That's how I had the option not to install messenger. At this point, I'm confident that the problem isn't related to anything that I am doing with my unit, or anything that I've installed on my unit, but I am curious to learn if anyone else has experienced the same issue. If there is a bug in the version of the OS, then I would expect a lot more Rogers subscribers to have the same problem.
Leaving the unit on does provide me with great battery life - drained about 25% over a 3 day weekend, but it still bothers me that I can't turn it off without discharging the battery.

Why is the battery on my iPhone 4 draining while it is shut off?!

. Anybody know why my battery on iphone4 is draining overnight while it is shut off? I turn my phone off each night. Last night it was at 45% when I turned it off. This morning it was completely drained. I,ve noticed the last few days it is loosing power rapidly.
Thanks

It sound to me like your battery had developed an internal short and is draining itself It can happen to these batteries. it can happen to any rechargable battery that i know of.

Battery drain while laptop is off

I just bought a GS70 2QE-066US STEALTH PRO with 970m
I notice that when the power is off, and charger unplugged, overnight the battery drains from 100% to about 60%.
What is the issue here? I hope this is not a defective laptop?
And also, I am using the "shut off" option, so it is not sleeping.

Last night, I turn off the "quick boot" option in Power Management in Windows as well as turning the "Legacy USB" option in the BIOS to auto. After leaving the laptop off for 7 hrs, the battery drained by 2%. I believe this should be the normal drain.
I might just have solved the problem.
I will do another test later, by leaving the laptop off for 12 hrs, and see how much the battery drained.
Somebody told me to use the Battery Calibration utility, so I did, but it is stuck at "Now Discharging Time Remaining 180mins" for about 20 mins. Let's see if it will progress soon.
Edit: while running battery calibration, the laptop made some strange noise and shut itself down. Upon reboot, the battery is at 0%. Now I am recharging it, then I will do a test and see how the battery drains.

MacBook Air 2012 Severe Battery Drains While Sleeping

Hi there,
This isn't any new but I've looked through all posts I could.
I got a refurbished MacBook Air 2012 in July. In the first 2 weeks it worked fine (or I was noticed).
Then I noticed the battery drains fast while the system sleeps.
I have done tests in the past weeks; almost 20% of battery drain after slept a day.
I have tried everything I could: turn off PowerNap, no wake from BT devices, erase and reinstall OS
None of above helped.
I have tried to modify hibernatemode to 25 and it worked ok; 2% of battery dropped after 12 hours.
I took this to Apple in Taiwan and they told me they couldn't do anything about it because they think it's software conflicts which does't really have a solution but wait for OS updates. They did run a diagnostic and everything turns out to be fine.
I just did reinstall the OS again and I'll see whats going on tomorrow morning.
If still not getting better I will just use hibernatemode 25.
Anything recommandation is more than welcome.
Thanks.
My OS version is 10.8.3.

Tried hibernatemode to 25 and still not helpful at all.
Battery drained 8% after 10 hours of sleep while mode 25 should put my macbook air into deep sleep and consume very minimal power.

Time/Date not staying updated when unit is powered off.

I'm trying to help a buddy out with his G5. Every time he powers off his G5 and unplugs it, the time/date settings don't stay the same. I wanted to find out if it was something simple like a CMOS battery. I don't know much about G5 stuff, but on anything other than Mac, a new CMOS battery usually fixes this.

PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan...
See which one the G5 has...

Help: System won't reboot and powers off

I'm going out of my mind here.
I've been putting together an A64 system for 3 weeks now, and I get the weirdest behavior.
I put the system together with the following components:
Neo Platinum Bios 1.3
A64 3000+
MSI 128MB 6800
1 512MB Kingmax ddr500 DIMM in slot 1
Antec sonata case with Antec tru380 PS
NEC dvd burner
Seagate Barracuda IV 80GB IDE drive
I could get it to boot up and start installing windows, but when it formatted the drives and would go to reboot, it would instead just power down. If I hit the power switch, it would either start the fans, but not post with the diag lights all lit red, or do nothing. If I pull the power cord for about 10 seconds and plug it back it, it will usually then post again.
I've bought or borrowed the following components and used them trying to solve this:
Antec NeoPower 480 PS
A different A64 3000+
2 different Mushkin pc2700 256MB sticks
A seagate 200GB hd
2 different cd/dvd burners
A different case
A GeForce 3ti200
A UPS to be sure it wasn't a house power issue
Some additional notes:
Thinking it may be a heat or heat sensor issue after a poweroff, I went into the bios and watched the hardware monitor the temp reads 65C which seemed high, but I see here there is a temp reporting problem with the bios. More than once, when I hit the escape key to exit the hardware mon, the machine powered off.
Refusing to be beaten I slowly managed to get windows XP with SP1 installed on this machine. Maybe once out of ten times I can get it to reboot, the rest of the time, trying to reboot does as above.
A few times while in windows, it has powered itself down while doing random things, often while typing into it.
So, I've read several suggestions here today that I will try such as putting the memory into DIMM slot 2 or 3. Perhaps, I just have 3 DIMMS that all don't work with this board. That will sure make this a much more expensive upgrade.
I've also seen much mention of problems being caused by keyboards. I find it baffling that a keyboard could cause the above problems, especially the power cord needing to pulled for 10-20 seconds, but I will replace that that as well.
Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what is happening? Could the board be bad? It would be the second bad board I've gotten in trying to build this system. The first was by another brand and had leads on the bottom of the board that were partially melted or scraped off, which is why I switched to the Neo Platinum. Am I just the most unlucky person in the world????
Help and thanks,
mike

It very well could be power supply, even the one you temporarily installed could not have delivered enough amperage to get it through one of the more strenuous periods of system boot-up. You will need a healthy 22 to 24 amps PSU. Also, make sure the RAM you have installed, or tested with - is listed on MSI's test report for this board. Per RAM type, some sticks are only approved to run in certain slots.
Sounds to me either a RAM or PSU or both RAM and PSU issue. In addition...heat could also be a problem.
