IBook does not run on battery

My Ibook does not run on battery when it reaches 48%. It just shutsdown with no warnings. I have to connect the AC adapter to work if i disconnect it the ibook just shuts down. I have to waut until it reaches 100% and then i take the AC adapter. I book shuts down and after i turn it on with out the AC and it stays running on bat until the 48%. Then i have to go through everything again.

Till now my battery has been working perfectly. The machine is about 1 year old and I use it heavily for my work. I prefer to unplug my battery when it's full, and use it till it go's to sleep before plugging it in again. This results in a very high Cycle count (453) but a still perfectly working battery (98% according to CoconutBattery), I can use the machine for about 4 hours on a full battery.
The amperage would be 0 since your battery is not in a charge cycle.
Part of your problem could honestly be your cycle count and method of caring for your battery. If you check some of the research about Li_ion batteries this is the worse way to use it. Li-Ion batteries work best with little charges. Deep cycling Li-Ion can kill the cells. There is no good reason to charge the battery and then use it as you have been doing. This just kills your battery for no reason. The MacBook is designed to cut the charge off when the battery is full and it does not hurt the battery to lie idle like this. The method you're using can prematurely kill your battery.
Either the battery has a problem that is not showing on you readings or the battery circuit is fried. Do you know someone that has a MacBook or live near an Apple store so you can test your battery on a known good MacBook. Or you could try one of their batteries in it.

Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?

Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?
My power adapter doesn't charge my computer anymore. however the charge light is on.
Please help my battery is draining fas

So, with your power adaptor connected not only does the battery not charge but the powerbook is not running on ac power. Then I guess the power adaptor is faulty. In as much as you've verified this with a known good one a new one is in order. Try yours in another powerbook to make sure.

IBook won't run on battery

Hi Folks
Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction here. I have an iBook G3 900 mhz model that I just replace the logic board in (video issue). The ibook runs great now, but all of a sudden it won't work with out the power adapter plugged in. I thought maybe the battery went bad, but I checked it in my other iBook and it is fine.
I bought the Logic board at a discount because it had a missing plug in connector, which is the one that connects from the Logic board to the power button. I soldered it back on and powered up the Laptop fine. and it even worked with just the battery for a short while, but now only works with the adapter. Should I open it up and re solder the connection, or is this another issue?
Thanks
Don

Hey Don,
I have an iBook G3 900 mhz model that I just replace the logic board in (video issue).
Just curious. Did the GPU chip die? or was it the BGA issue? I repair and donate iBooks to inner city school teachers.
it had a missing plug in connector, which is the one that connects from the Logic board to the power button. I soldered it back on and powered up the Laptop fine.
Wow good job! That's not easy to do. BTW that plug would have nothing to do with the not running on battery problem. It's part of the "soft start" circuit.
This is from the service manual for the 900:
"The computer runs when plugged into a wall outlet but not on battery power
1. Reseat battery to verify battery is seated correctly with battery lock engaged.
2. Try known-good charged battery.
3. Reset the power manager by pressing the key combination Control-Option-Shiftpower.
Warning: Make sure you do not hold down the "fn" key when resetting the
power manager.
Warning: Resetting the power manager will permanently remove a RAM disk, if
present, and all of its contents. You will also need to reset the date and time
(using the Date & Time control panel).
4. Replace logic board."
That "power manager" they speak of is a PMU 99 which I believe is CMOS and very sensitive to static charges.

Thanks for these replies! and fast!
I am not connected with a hub or a switch: it is a MODEM/ROUTER TrendNet TEW435BRM which goes well for DSL.
I cannot run dmesg for know... I will look in it later.

On the internet, some said that it is known as an Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit under Windows... and that the useful linux package is AR81Family-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz for them, but impossible to find on the internet (official site is down, the archive found elsewhere do not uncompress, etc...)
Linux is archlinux x86_64. The kernel driver in use is "atl1c" (on my ASUS eeepc beside, it is atl2 and runs well).
Ok, so:
- 1 read dmesg
- 2 try with another cable (the wire I used is old).
- 3 try with another kernel driver (have to find it)
- 4 send back the computer to be repaired!
Bye

Satellite A100-166 PSAA9E does not charge the battery

Hello,
My laptop does not charge the battery.
Although Windows Xp recognizes the battery and says charging, the battery is not recharged.
I tried with a spare battery as i thought the battery was defective, with same results.
Strange is, when i turn off the laptop the power supply led stays on and blue, even without the power supply atached thus discharging the battery.
The battery led is always amber but not charging!!!
What is the matter with the laptop?
Thanks

Hi
Generally there are three different possibilities;
1) the AC adaptor is faulty
2) the battery is faulty
3) the notebooks board electronic (power supply electronic) malfunctions
So now its necessary to check all this steps to locate the fault.
You said that you have tested different batteries and the AC adaptor works too.
So its possible that there is something wrong with the power supply electronic
In such case there is no much to do as to contact the ASP in your country. The technicians should check the notebook and should run some diagnostic tests
I recommend contacting the guys and ask for the details and for the further handling Good luck and happy new year.

REPORT DOES NOT RUN CORRECTLY , URGENT PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I am trying to run a report from visul basic screen, but it does not run correctly. Here is how I am running the report. There is a screen developed in VB This screen prompts the user for user id and password. Once it gets that, it connects to the oracle database and pulls out a column from a table. And passes that value as a parameter to the report. Now I am calling the the report for each individual value . There are 21 value being pulled out of the database and it invokes the report 21 times. So there are 21 report engines gets started. Is there a better way to do that ? Secondly when I pass the parameter , some parameters does not pass correctly I guess , because its not generating any out put . Like out of 21 may be 10 or 11 reports gets generated correctly but rest of the reports are blank. I debug the screen i saw that the parameter value is correct, everything seems good. But still the reports are comming blank. Any Idea why it is so ? The command line that i am using in VB screen is
Shell "C:\progra~1\ora95_2\bin\rwrun60.exe P:\Business_Analysis_&_Reporting_Tool\Test_REPORT_Templates\STORE_TYPES\Baby_Distribution_Report.Rdf USERID=" & UID & "/" & PWD & "@cposp201 DESFORMAT=PDF DESTYPE=FILE DESNAME=" & txtPath.Text & Replace(strName, " ", "_") & ".PDF BRND='" & adoRecBrand!Brand & "' PRINTJOB=NO PARAMFORM=NO"
In the above command " adoRecBrand!Brand " is the parameter thats being passed. This is actually a recordset and brand is the column in it. When I debug the screen , I see the value also there. But the report comes out blank. Please help. This is urgent.
Thanks
Feroz

The way you call reports is not scalable. If you have 100 records come back from database, you would end up launch 100 engines at the same times, which probably will blow up your machine. You should use oracle reports server to do that. You can either use rwcli60 to submit the job to reports server, or invoke rwcgi60 from URL.
I am afraid some of reports engine failed to start and you get nothing back in your case.
After switch to use reports server achitecture, if you still see some report is blank in your application, then you can run that report with that special set of parameters manually and see if any problem with the report itself.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

ICal does not run one event that has a Applescript attached to it. 24u?

I have a number of reoccurring events in iCal that run a Applescript. Tow of them refuses to run. I have tried it as a Applescript and saved it as a run only and neither works (the script run fine if I test them by hand).
so I thought I have a look in the log and found this 24u information.
can anybody help out here? I am not sure why it appears, if it is good or bad, how to fix it and if it is at all realted to my problem. Other scripts seem to run well, it is this one and an other one that do not get activated by iCall.
They run on a MM running 10.6.8, iCall 4.0.4 (1395.7)
Thanks.

Hi,
It looks like the version of 24U's Appearance OSAX you have installed does not run on Lion.
I would contact the developer to see if they have a version that does yet. See http://www.24usoftware.com/AppearanceOSAX
Alternatively you could look to see if the Applescript really needs to use it.
Best wishes
John M
Edit: If you are running Snow Leopard, I think you may need to make the application "iCal Helper" (which you'll find in iCal's application package) run as 32 bit. I'd also suggest you check this with 24U.

My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows processes, while Firefox does not run.
I manually deleted Firefox from the list once I have Windows processing.
And when I clicked on Firefox, Firefox will open quickly and easily.
Firefox process in Windows Processes names list called "firefox.exe * 32" is.
Please try to solve my problem, my problem is how to solve?

Hi, are you saying that you start Firefox and it stalls -- you can see it in the Task Manager but it never displays -- but if you kill that process and start Firefox again it starts up properly that second time?
If you look at the statistics available in the Task Manager's processes tab such as bytes read or other bytes, can you see whether Firefox is doing anything at all? ''Note: You might need to add columns if your Processes tab isn't set up to display statistics. You can do that from the View menu.''
You might already have seen these troubleshooting articles. If not, does anything here help:

Lightroom 5.6 does not run following latest CC Photoshop 2014 and Bridge updates

I am running Creative Cloud Photography on OSX 10.9.4. Yesterday I updated Photoshop 2014 and Bridge using the CC desktop app as prompted by CC. Since then Lightroom does not run. When I open it the blue intro screen flashes up for less than a second. To try and recover I have uninstalled Lightroom (5.6) and re-installed it several times using both the CC app and directly from the Adobe website. The result is always the same. I can find nothing about this on Adobe Support although I can find others who have had the same symptoms on a web search. Their solution was to re-install Lightroom from the web site but that hasn't worked for me. I had Lightroom installed before I went to CC and before CC included Lightroom in the Photography package. Does anyone understand this issue and can you please advise me what to try next? Many thanks.

Okay, Solution 1 from this link Error "Unable to start correctly - 0Xc00007b" fixed it for me. But now it's asking me for the serial number which I can't find anywhere... shouldn't that go without with the cloud?

Finder does not run properly after starting up [Mountain Lion]

I've installed MountainLion from Snow Leopard 10.6.8
My Mac is Macbook7,1 (Macbook White) Intel Core 2 Duo
When the installation finish, it seems like Finder does not run. I have to click on the Finder icon on the Dock to make it run.
And then I got some of problem after that
1. When I Click "About This Mac", nothings happen.
2. When I Click "Restart...", "Shutdown..." or "Sleep", nothings happen. So, I have to Shutdown or Restart my Macbook from "Login Window..." only.
3. Some of my settings in "System Preferences" do not be saved. Such as Trackpad settings (I can't "Tap to Click" in every time I start up my Macbook, I have to use physical click instead.) and Spotlight Hotkey settings (When I switch the Language, the Spotlight is popping up.)
I'm not sure what is the cause of these problem.
Could anyone help me please.
Thank You.

I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.

I have kdebindings and j2sdk installed. After searching the forum I'm not sure if Wiki is right. Is kdebindings compiled with java support or not? Am I supposed to install or recompile something to get it working?

Task does not run with transaction currency

Dear All,
When i am executing IU AR/AP elimination, I am getting error " Task does not run with transaction currency ("per TC" option reset) "
Message no. UCF5104
Diagnosis
The present task is configured so that no values are analyzed in transaction currency. However, the option "per transaction currency" is selected in the method definition. This only makes sense if you also want to analyze the values in transaction currency.
System response
The task is being executed without the option "per transaction currency".
Please advise me how to resolve the issue.
Regards,
Malani

Dear Dan,
I would like to know what will be the effect if we remove o-Per Currency option in Method.
I would like to know, in the document also in properties tab - in Key figures - Check box - Transaction Currency. If i select the warning message not coming. So kindly let me know what exactly check box -Transaction currency is used in Document type and whether it is interlinked with Method.
Thanks
