HP Compaq 6730s battery error 601

Hi, I have HP Compaq 6730s running Windows Vista.
When I switch my laptop on it shows HP battery alert: Error code 601 but I can go on with using it. Since the error message my laptop switches off (with a strange noise) on its own whenever I work.
I use my laptop without the battery nowadays (I took it out and I bought a new adaptor suitable for my HP). However, my Compaq keeps on turning off. Sometimes I can work hours but sometimes it turns off when I log in. I think the battery is not a single problem. I have my laptop for 3 years.
Please help.

Hi,
This error code actually refers to your notebooks main battery and not the internal RTC ( CMOS ) cell as it may seem to indicate - see the document on the link below for further details regarding this.

This error is a little confusing. At first glance it appears to refer to the CMOS/RTC battery but does infact refer to the main battery for the notebook. Even though the computer states that the battery is at 100% it would be a good idea to begin by verifying that it is in working condition. I think this is a good first step because while it does show 100% charge, you state the notebook does not work unless it is on AC power. This document discusses the issue further.
As stated in the document the HP Battery Check will need to be run in order to determine if the battery is faulty.
To perform the battery check perform the following steps and post the result.
Unplug the power cord and turn off the computer.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Press the Esc key immediately when seeing the HP or the Compaq logo screen.
The Start Up menu appears.
Press F2 to select F2 System Diagnostics .
Select Battery Test from the list of diagnostic tests.
Plug in the power cord.
Click Start Battery Test on the Battery Test page.
If your battery fails this test it will need to be replaced. To get a replacement battery you will need to contact HP Technical Support. If you are in the US/Canada you can call them at 1-800-474-6836. If you are located outside of this region you will need to go to HP's support site and after selecting your country/region locate "Customer Support" in the bottom right corner to get the contact information for your region.
I hope this helps!

Israr,
Then error indicates that the primary battery (the one you can remove and replace) has a hardware failure. You should run Battery Check in HP Support Assistant.

Battery Error 601 and Notebook will not boot

My notebook will not bootup anymore. It was running fine then I just closed the screen and went to class. Usually this just puts it to sleep. When I opened it back up, it would not start... It was totally dead. When I plug it into the charger, I see a "Pimrary Battery Error" 601 displayed for a few seconds and then it starts to bootup. It never fully boots-up, it shuts off totally before I get past the little HP splash.
When I plug the charger into the notebook, I see the charging orange LED for a little while, but then it switches to white and then back to orange and then totally off. I have tried multiple chargers and it always does the same thing.
Since the notebook will not boot even when plugged in, I am suspecting something in the charging system/main board more than the battery. Is there anyway to tell which components are bad?
This is an almost 2 year old Envy 4-1215dx, Product ID: D1A99UA#ABA
It's been a great notebook upto now... Any ideas on what to check and how?
Steve

Here's a link with an explaination and troubleshooting steps for the error you are experiencing.
HP Battery Alert
You can also try a Hard Reset in order to get you PC to boot long enough to run a diagnostics.
Hard Reset
You may also try with the battery removed and just the AC Adapter.
If nothing seems to work you can always try a new main battery since they usually are fairly inexpensive. Just Google the Part# shown on your battery.

The 601 error is a problem with the main battery which I suspect is just old. Have you tried removing the battery and starting the laptop with just the power adapter?

Hp pavillion dv6z-1100 Internal Battery error 601

The Internal battery was replace with a new 3v.
After cmos battery was replace, the error continues to come up!
error 601.
Also ,my hard drive went bad, i plan to replace the hard drive with WD3200BEVT SCORPIO BLUE MOBILE
HARD DRIVE 320MB AND INSTALL OPERATING SYSTEM.

I am getting the same error. Laptop is only 2 years old. On startup, I get the message and the request to press enter to continue, but then I get a low white to gray screen and it does nothing. So I force power off and at this point I don't konw what to do. If it were the external battery, why would this computer not run on the power cord? My Dell laptops will run without a battery, just using the power cord for electrical supply. I recently replaced the power cord, since the one that came with the laptop failed (I understand this is a very common problem for this model).

Hi,
There is a solved thread on this page about this error. The solution is to replace the battery because its storage capacity is low. The right part number can be found in a maintenance and service guide. Go to Support and Drivers page, enter your model and look in User Guides section.

601 internal battery error

I own a HP Probook 4420s. I've been getting the 601 internal battery error, so Im ready to replace it. Can anybody let me know where I can find one?

Hi,
The 601 error relates to your notebooks main battery ( not the cmos cell as the message suggests ) - there are many retailers, including HP, where you can purchase a replacement such as the example on the following link.

Just to be clear, HP Policy is to run the battery check in Windows before replacing the battery. The 601 error alone is not enough unless you have a non-Windows based laptop (usually SUSE Linux or FreeDOS). The battery check should return a failure code that the support agent needs to initiate the replacement.

601 Battery Error

I have an HP Notebook. Model Number g6-1b79dx. It says there is an internal battery error on startup. Would that be concerning the long black battery that can be taken out of the back? If so, what battery type/model would I need to shop for? Thank you

You need to replace the MAIN battery.
I would not buy a China knockoff.
By an HP original.

BIOS CONTRASEÑA ADMINIISTRADOR HP COMPAQ 6730S

Saludos, este es mi primer post, espero me puedan ayudar.Necesitaria el password de administrador de un hp compaq 6730s, el ordenandor es de mis sobrina, la cual desgraciadamente fallecio recientemente, la cuestion es que sus padres necesitan abrir el ordenandor pues tienen archivos importantes, a parte de los recuerdos que este pueda guardar, el problema es que tras la repentina muerte de mi sobrina, intentaron acceder al ordenador y este le pedia una contraseña, tras varios intentos el ordenador se bloqueo y el problema es que también ha bloqueado el disco duro, con lo cual tampoco se puede extaer los datos del mismo poniendolo en otro ordenador, yo tengo algunos conocmientos de informatica y tras intentar entrar me ahorroja " hdd error code y da un codigo de 5 digitos quue es 08145, esto es forzando la entrada a la bios.por otro lado si entro de forma normal, me pide la contraseña y al tercer intento pide el user id bios password administrator, y no da opcion a otra cosa.el numero de serie del equipo es CNU91153FO

Internal battery error on reboot

The 601 internal battery error is misleading.
It is not the BIOS/RTC battery.
It is your main battery.
