HP ENVY dv6t-7300 QUAD: Battery Drains when Shut Down & Doesn't Charge when Battery life is 93%

My HP ENVY dv6t-7300 QUAD had battery discharge when I left it off for a few days on, so far, three occasions:
The battery fully discharged to 0% from 100% when the laptop was left off for a peroid of two weeks
The battery discharged to 95% from 100% when left off for a seperate period of three days
The battery discharged to 94% from 100% when left off for a seperate peroid of four days
These three instances did NOT come consecutively.
When the laptop is left off for one day though, the battery life is at 98% or 99%.
On all occasians, the computer was shut down from the settings tab and NOT put into sleep mode or hibernate mode.
The other issue is that on two different occasions the laptop says that the battery is not charging when the battery life is > 93%. So far, I have not seen this problem appear when the laptop was below 93% battery.
This problem is intermittent. The first time it happened, the laptop began to charge at 93% battery life and continuted to sucessfully charge until today (8/11/2013). Currently, the battery life is at 97% and the battery will not charge.
I have performed a start-up battery test and the result displayed on the start-up screen is:
Battery Check: Primary-OK (1)
The result from the HP Battery Check from the Desktop Screen says:
Status: OK (0)
Charge Capacity: 97%
This screen also says that the battery is:
Charged (97%)
Current: 0mA
Full Charge Capacity: 5458mAh
Remaining Capacity: 5319mAh
Failure ID: OK
There is also one other interesting thing about this laptop:
When HP Searches for Drivers for my laptopr, the driver detection program detects that I have an HP ENVY dv6-7398ca, not a dv6t-7300 QUAD like it states under the battery compartment.
I have had this laptop since abour June 20, 2013 and I believe the warrenty is still good on the parts.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix these problems, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

bump? no help?

Laptop battery drains after shut down

Hi, I have bought hp pavilion 15-no28se six months back,
Its working good, but one issue is contantly irritating me, it is due to its battery drainage after shut down overnight.It almost drains 8-10 percent withing 12 hours. Whereas, I properly shut down it and caliberated as well, but of no use. Although, battery status is OK, and I think battery is fine becasue once I took out battery from laptop for 24 hours, then inserted again and checked it and not a single percent dropped down.
I am so tense that why it is draining when battery works well and properly shut down?Please guide me on this.I am waiting..

Hello again rocket_sc,
I hope you had a great weekend!
To test, calibrate, and re-synchronize your battery you will need to first follow the steps in this document on Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 8). Once this is completed, and the battery continues to drain, then you can move to re-install the ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery.
I understand that this process can be a little overwhelming, but not to worry! I would gladly expand on the steps provided above!
To answer your first question: you are not uninstalling the software as you would from Programs and Features (like uninstalling software downloaded from a CD). Instead, you are removing small driver components removable from the Device Manager.
To get the Device Manager, please follow the steps below:
Step 1. Go to Device Manager:
a. Press the  and type "Device Manager"
b. Click the Device Manager tab on the top right-hand side.
c. The Device Manager should be open.
Step 2. Select Batteries:
a. Click the right-facing triangle to the left hand side of "batteries"
Step 3. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
a. If you see any duplicates of the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery", please select them both.
Step 4. Click Uninstall
a. You might also see an option that says "disable." Please disregard this option, and click on Uninstall.
Step 5. At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
Step 6. Restart the computer
Step 7: Remove the battery for one minute and then put it back in
When the computer comes back up it should automatically find and install the driver.
Step 8. Go to Device Manager
a. Press the  and type "Device Manager"
b. Click the Device Manager tab on the top right-hand side.
c. The Device Manager should be open.
Step 9. Select Batteries
a. Click the right-facing triangle to the left hand side of "batteries"
Step 10. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there (there should only be one).
Step 11. Click "Update Driver Software"
Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
a. If you do not see this parcel of software in the Device Manager, please skip this step. If you do, the same steps would include:
* Right-clicking this device driver in the Device Manager
* Click on "uninstall"
* Put a check in the box next to "remove the current driver" and pressing "ok"
* Restarting the computer
* Remove the battery for one minute, then re-insert it
* Return to the Device Manager
* Right-clicking the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller
* Click "update driver software"
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Iphone 5c has battery problems and shuts down even after charging, just upgraded to 8.2, no help, what is my next option?

the iphone 5c still has problems with battery life and shuts down after complete charge. this happened after 8.1 update, I tried every way to shut things down, still no luck. what can I do next?

I did a soft reset, and I went to the discussion and turned every down or off. This is definitely a hardware problem.

Battery drains while shut down?

If, having SHUT DOWN (not sleep) my MBA, and let it charge until the magsafe light is green and let it charge overnight, I unhook the magsafe while keeping the MBA off and closed, I leave it TURNED OFF for an entire day, go out to use it elsewhere and when I get there, the battery is completely dead.
Why? What can I do to fix it?
The Air seems to shut down MUCH quicker than my old MacBook Pro, so I don't know if it's just not shutting down properly or not. The same thing happens if I hold the power button for a hard shutdown until it shuts off and repeat the charge/wait process.
Like I said, this is with it SHUT OFF and not in sleep mode. If I can't leave it turned off while I wait in an airport, what's the point exactly? Is anyone else experiencing this? (I know at least one person is on another forum, but no one gave him any answers)

Used the timer on my iPhone. From green status light (turned off) to when I woke up it was eight hours, 41 minutes, 48.6 seconds later and the battery status was as follows:

Battery drains unless shut down on top right. Just touched, not powered down

I suspect this has to do with some App that is too power hungry. My prime suspect is NEST. Any thoughts?

Can I upgrade my HP ENVY dv7-7300 Quad graphic card?

I've heard that most laptops graphic cards now a days can't be upgraded, but I have an HP ENVY dv7-7300 Quad and I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade its graphic card to Nvidia GT 635m?
Thanks

Hi,
Basically you can, nothing can stop you, with a cost and I believe this cost may be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:
New card price, and WHERE you can buy it because laptop cards are not the same as desktop cards. You can't buy from any normal shop,
Need new system board (may be),
Need new cooling system because generally speaking more powerfull card pumps out more heat (you want more powerfull card don't you?).
May need new PSU because your current PSU may not suitbale to the card. (I ordered a machine with Nvidia card and I needed to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal 65W charger. They simply rejected my order).
Labor cost.
Many, many packets of Asprin.
Hope this helps.

Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya.

HT1476 when is it best to charge the battery, when it is completly dead, almost dead or at any time you want a full chargre?

When is it best to charge your battery for and Ipot touch 4th generation? when it is completly dead, almost dead, or any time you want full charge.

Letting the battery completly drain is not that good. Otherwise, just charge when you want.

Brand-spanking new battery, but still shuts down when unplugged!!

A few days ago, my 2006 MacBook would shut down when I disconnect it from the power adapter. To restart the laptop, I must have the power adapter connected. That gray screen with the apple stays longer than usual, ~5 seconds. I reset the SMC, PRAM, and checked the battery condition in the System Profiler. It had 500 charge cycles, so I went ahead and bought a new battery.
PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED. Even with a brand new, fully charged battery, the laptop shuts down when I disconnect the power adapter. I used my boyfriend's adapter to charge the battery and the issue persists. I did the whole resetting stuff, no luck. Battery is on charge cycle 2 and in normal condition. I'm up to date on software updates.
Anybody know what is going on and how to resolve this??? Please help!

Okay, and you've done the various resets, so the next things that come to mind are:
1) Bad DC-in board, which is the Magsafe Board in the newer machines. Instructions for replacement are here(you can also order parts & tools): http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-MacBook-Core-2-Duo-Magsafe-Board/5 20/1. Obviously, if your machine is in warranty, have the Apple store fix the computer.
2) Faulty logicboard. If this is the case, you want to just work with the computer as-is, or sell it and invest the money in a new machine.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

Ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

[W520] Does not start on battery only, doesnt shut down or sleep

Hi all,
I have quite a huge problem after flooding my W520 with tea. Obviously immediately after spilling it I flipped the machine, unplugged ac, took out the battery. Few days after laptop didnt start so I had it serviced. The keyboard was changed and whole interior was cleaned. At home I tried to power on the laptop (with battery only) but with no reaction, then plugged ac and computer started itself (I didnt press the power button). When it starts it is possible to unplug the ac, and it works on battery.
Second problem is that the machine doesnt want to powerr off or sleep. It shuts down for 2-3 second then automatically starts (both on ac and when already started with battery). To shut down I have to take out the battery and ac. (Tried all possible stuff, WOL, Always on mode and so on but nothing works) ;/
Called the service with explanation but nobody seemed to know how to fix it. If you have any ideas that could solve the problem please help...

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that you spilled tea in your Lenovo ThinkPad W520 and you are facing multiple issues with the system.
I would suggest you to perform Flee Power – remove the battery and any other peripheral device connected to the computer. Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and then connect the AC Adapter and battery and try to turn ON the computer.
I would suggest you to update BIOS to the latest version, try swapping with a good known AC adapter and battery.
Basically there's 3 power sources for the motherboard ac adapter, laptop battery and CMOS battery. If either of them goes bad or is malfunctioning you might experience strange behavior. If you have confirmed the functionality of the above said, it probably points to a system board failure.
Regards,
Mithun.
