HP dv5 laptop battery

Alright... I have an HP dv5 laptop. I've had it for just under two years, and in the last month I have had my AC adapter crap out, and I replaced it with a generic cord, that worked fine for about two weeks. Now, though, my laptop won't charge. The AC adapter is plugged in, but the generic doesn't have a light on it. My laptop isn't showing it's normal light around the power port, and the front light doesn't show it's charging either.
I don't know if it's the AC adapter, the battery, or something more serious. I've looked around, and many of you seem to have the same problem, usually the adapter, the battery, etc. but I'm wondering if it's an internal problem. Can anyone help me? I'm desperate for a solution, and use my computer for school.

This is what we normally get if its a generic type of ac adapter. Although purchasing another (hp branded)ac adapter is not wise, its the only way to test if its the ac adapter itself or the pin connector inside. How many watts is the oem adapter?

  • HP dv5-2155dx battery help ASAP

    I need help ASAP! I have a dv5-2155dx HP laptop, and it's in need of a replacement battery. I'm not sure what exact model type of battery it needs. I read it's MU06 but I need an accurate answer.. I don't want to install a new battery that doesn't fit or work. :/

    The Dv5-2155dx battery is also called an MU06 battery and can be found using the links. That page specifically lists your model as compatible.  Note the battery listed here is a 3 year battery. It also is rated at 6000mAh/65Wh which means it provides about 20% power for longer run times vs the 56Wh battery mentioned in the previous post.

  • HP dv5 laptop charger is overheating (150 deg F)

    My dv5 laptop charger gets to 150 deg F while charging the battery.
    (1) If the battery is at all discharged, then the charger will get to 150 deg F
    (2) If the battery is fully charged, then the charger will not get hot.
    It appears to me that the small charger (65W) is not able to provide enough power to charge the battery.  I believe a higher powered (95W) charger would result in no issues.  Interestingly, HP has a 95W charger available.  
    Has anyone tried using a different charger? 
    HP -- Why was the decision made to use a low power (65W) charger on this laptop?

    Hi, thank you for your reply. However, I had already found the page you have linked me to, and used that to diagnose that the code the laptop is flashing is code 1. (The caps/num lock is flashing once, long pause, once, long pause, so code 1 as I understand the document) 
    This is why I bought a new processor and replaced the old one yesterday, but unfortunately it has not solved my laptops problem. It is still refusing to start and giving me a blank screen with leds flashing the same error code (single flash, long pause, repeat)  which is why I posted on here for help. 
    I really have no idea what else to try, my bf was also wondering if perhaps a fault with the motherboard could also cause this error code to flash up, perhaps tricking the hp diagnostics tool into thinking the cpu is broken when in fact its the mobo? 

  • SCCM Report for Laptop Battery Condition

    Good morning,
    We are in a situation where we're needing to monitor conditions of laptop batteries in the school district I manage.   I have added the laptop batteries class(Win32_Battery) and have all required/requested information checked under this class.  This
    has been set for a week, so all devices should be inventoried by now.
    How do you recommend my getting a report together that shows battery condition/etc?  The fields I would like to see are ones such as:
    Win32_Battery
    battery status
    design capacity
    design voltage
    Expected Life
    Error Description
    Full Charge Capacity
    Really anything that will help us in knowing which laptops batteries need replacing. 
    I am not that knowledgeable about SQL reporting/SCCM reporting, so any help in getting this is greatly appreciated.  Any resources that you can point me in for getting more familiar with creating my own reports would be greatly appreciated.  I
    don't even know where to begin.
    Thank you!

    Good you have added the class. Please use the following link for the detailed information about Win32_Battery:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394074(v=vs.85).aspx
    Last Full Charge should guide your decision on replacement.

  • KDE battery monitor not detecting laptop battery

    I am using KDE on my Dell XPS laptop. The default battery monitor that comes with KDE installation is not detecting the laptop battery. It is showing "Battery: Not Present". Because of this I am unaware about the time remaining on my battery. Any solutions please?

    Have you tried rebooting *twice*? I've seen this issue but I've always resolved it by rebooting and then rebooting again. (The system goes rather insane on the first reboot and I always think either my hardware is completely screwed or my install of Arch is twisted far beyond the point of insanity. But then on the second boot, it calms down, finds the hardware and carries on quite happily. I've no idea why.)

  • ATI driver free vs laptop battery

    With the driver xf86-video-ati laptop battery lasts me half that with catalyst. Any ideas to save energy.

    Try (as root)
    echo profile > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
    echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
    If that causes problems, replace low with medium.

  • How to install new laptop battery.

    Using HP Support Assistant, my HP G61 110SA laptop battery wouldn't recalibrate so it told me to replace it.  I have now bought a new one but can't find any instructions anywhere on HOW to install it!  Plus, should I fully charge before installation etc..  Any help, advice, info and especially links to instructions would really be appreciated.  I'm using Windows7 64 bit.
    thanks.

    Hi:
    Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
    http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/S​upportManual/c01740724/c01740724.pdf
    The procedure to remove and replace the battery can be found in chapter 4, page 4-7.
    Once you install your new battery, I recommend you fully charge it.
    If you need to use your notebook, use it with the A/C power connected until the battery is charged, if possible.

  • What is the best charge/discharge regime for the laptop battery?

    I have a HP G71 340US laptop with 12 cell battery of 8800 mAh design capacity.
    It is clear, that keeping the laptop plugged, and always having 100% charged battery is not the most healthy regime for the battery.
    I have found from the web that permanently charging and discharging the battery (like charging form 9% to 100% then back to 9% and so on) is also far not the most healthy regime for the battery.
    So my question is: what is the most healthy regime for battery charging/discharging, assuming that the AC power source is always available?
    It seems there in so software which can support such regime automatically, as charging cannot be stopped programmable, but maybe there is a software which can report corresponding alerts, informing that it is time to start charging or to start discharging?
    This question was solved.

  • Laptop battery odd behavior

    I recently purchased the HP PROBOOK 430 G1 13.3 128GB i3-4010u. I'm using it primarily for college for light workloads since I have a custom built PC I used for extensive tasks. However, even with the light workloads, I'm experiencing this odd behavior from my laptops battery. The laptop battery meter goes to 8 percent randomly. I have to put my laptop to sleep then wake it up or reset it then it returns to the normal battery levels. Again there's no pattern to it, it's completely random. I have obversed it since July 22nd when I first got it and got nothing. It probably happened 10-15 times. I don't want to send it in yet for a repair since I can't replicate the problem.
    I'm using HPFanControl by troubadix at constant medium fan level so I know it's not heating issues. I also never go above 50c
    I also ran the battery diagnostic in BIOS and it gave me no errors.
    I also tried to discharged my laptop and it still happened.
    Help?

    Hi @jlakersman,
    Your  HP ProBook 430 G1 is a commercial product and to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting in the commercial forums. Here is a link to the Commercial Notebook forum.

  • HP Laptop Battery

    Can I always Plug in my laptop in AC Adaptor or not?

    Hi,
    1. Without battery: It depends, if your area has very stable electricity source then ok, otherwise you need some sorts of backup (battery) or UPS. I actually use UPS in my house because I still have few desktops.
    2. With battery: Many people are more concern about the battery life, here are few tips:

  • 4 cells of HP ENVY dv7 Laptop battery instead 6

    Why HP Support Assistant shows 4 cells of HP ENVY dv7 Laptop battery instead 6 cells as it is in specifications ?
    Also the 4th cell charge value shows 0 mV!
    Design capacity of battery is 5585 mAh and for less than 6 months of usage it was reduced to 5216 mAh! - is it normal?
    So exactly I have battery with only 3 real cells!
    Where is the problem?

    Try to hook ur laptop to external display , if its OK in there , then ur GPU dying.
