Is my iPhone 4s' internal battery dead?

Today at work, I noticed how odd it was the my phone's battery life had still said it was at 100% halfway through my shift (usually it's at 57% about now). I had tried to turn it off and back on again only to find that my battery had still said 100%. I found it weird, but carried on with my day. Tonight while I was talking on the phone, my iPhone 4s had died. Okay, I figured it was normal. Yet upon having my phone on the charger for 20 minutes and it had not booted up yet, so I got a little confused. It's been two hours later now and my phone has still not booted up. The screen shows that it is "charging", but is apparently not taking any juice? I have tried the hard reset (holding down the home screen button and the power button for 30 seconds) and nothing has happened.
I've only had this phone since Christmas. How could the internal battery possibly be dead this quickly? Is that even what it is, or is it a different hardware malfunction? Please help! I use my phone for everything in my daily life!

well, it's either that or live with a dead phone. You've done all the trouble shooting you can.
Your choice.

Use of external battery cases, does it harm the iphone's internal battery?

Can the use of external battery cases harm the life of the internal battery in the iphone 4? (ie. Mophie juice pack air)

Absolutely not, but if looking for a protective case i would not recommend the mophie but if just using your phone for commercial use, then yes definitely use, it's helpful when you need a cordless charger

TS4006 I JUST HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER OF MY IPHONE. THE BATTERY IS DEAD. IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN FINE MY IPHONE??

I JUST HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER OF MY IPHONE. THE BATTERY IS DEAD. IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN FINE MY IPHONE??

Unfortunately no. Due to privacy issues Apple does not trace devices (if it could) based on serial numbers. That's why Apple provided the Find My iPhone service to help find lost devices. But in your case, a dead battery defeats the service. All you can do is contact your carrier to ask that it block your service and inform the police. Do you have insurance for the iPhone?

Hi Lauren,
When troubleshooting power issues, we want to make sure we have followed all steps outlined in the following article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
- Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
- Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
- If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
- If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How to disable internal battery without a display?

The display on my T440s is dead. I would like to remove the hard drive before sending the laptop in. The user guide says to disable the internal battery before moving the hard drive - but this requires access to the BIOS configuration, which cannot be done on an external monitor.
Is it essential to disable the internal battery before removing the SSD? If so, how can I do this?
Thanks

Primary Internal Battery needs to be replace?????????

Ok so it comes up saying Primary internal battery 601???? but my notbook is like 2 years old how can the battery be dead? can some plz help me out heres he info on my notbook its a hp pavilion dv7 plz any help would be great

Yes, mine has been saying the same thing for a little while also. It's also a little over two years old. I like HP, but their parts are wearing out quickly. Best Buy tried to tell me my motherboard needed replaced last year for $900 - I left it alone until it started acting up again this year, and it's a $10 inverter that is causing the problem. I have no idea about this primary internal battery yet - I'll be doing some more looking to resolve this for myself as well.

I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one. it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one? it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

I would like to know the answer to that one. I realized this was happening just after upgradeing my iOS to 6. Then when I looked up my purchase date, I was about 5 days past my one year warranty. So I'm dead in the water. Apple will replace the battery, but it will be about $80+. I took it to the Apple store, and they checked a bunch of stuff, but said that it seemed ok. I'm debating getting a battery for a more reasonable price off of ebay. But if it's the iOS thats draining the battery, then I'm not going to be able to help it. I wish I knew a better way to tell if its the battery, the phone, or the iOS.

Re: internal battery for eMac. Where can I buy one? (Date and time are becoming garbled).

I have an eMac which shows the date and time as random figures, suggesting that the internal battery is dead. Where can I buy a replacement? My local Apple reseller does not stock them.

"It is in Western Australia, in a suburb of Perth."
That helps! Considering adding that to your profile. It can get you help faster for future "where to get" questions. We have a lot of active helpers here who are your countrymen (and women).
You may be able to find a battery seller locally, The PRAM battery is not limited to computer use. That model is also used in alarm systems. Look for a "1/2 AA 3.6V lithium" battery--that's about as generic description as one can give.
I found a seller that has a chart of battery number equivalents:
http://www.medicbatteries.com/battery-cross-reference-guide
Look at the last line. There is a long list of manufacturers' battery numbers that are 1/2AA 3.6V. As long as you find one that's lithium (haven't seen any that aren't) you should be good to go.

Urgent: Need a docking speaker with internal battery and suitable for ipad or iphone4

Need a docking speaker with internal battery and suitable for ipad or iphone4
Does the following model fit those requirements? Do you have any recommendation for me on a docking speaker?
Philips - Fidelio Primo Docking Speaker for Apple® iPod® and iPad®

You should not need to have special IP address configurations to manage your devices and software. You can do this in the private network offered by any router, provided all devices being managed are behind that router. If for some reason you need a static IP on the network (such as for the server itself), then you can delegate one to the server in your router, but you dont need a special public IP address configuration from your ISP to set this up and make use of it.

HP Mini 311 - HP Battery Alert - Primary (Internal) Battery (601) - Error Message at Startup

I have a HP Mini 311-1037NR (Product Number is VBM262UA#ABA). My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.
When I start up my HP Mini 311 I receive the following message:
HP Battery Alert
The system has detected the storage capacity of the battery stated below to be very low. For optimal performance, this battery may need to be replaced.
Primary (Internal) Battery (601)
ENTER - Continue Startup
Here's are my questions:
First of all, what exactly is the problem here? From what I have googled, it would appear the problem is NOT my external battery, but my internal battery. What battery is needing replacement? Does it have a name?
Second, is there a user guide out there that would assist me with the replacement process that someone can provide a link to or at least send me the page that helps me? Is there a YouTube video (even better)?
Third, what exactly is the part number of the battery that needs replacement and exactly where do I purchase it (How much $$ does it cost)? This question is important as I may be able to find out how to replace the battery, but without a way to purchase the replacement battery I'm still dead in the water.
Fourth, my HP Mini 311 just dies when I unplug it. Will a remedy for the above issue remedy this issue as well? I really do enjoy using my little HP Mini, but would prefer to have the option to use it without a power cord.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Tim

Hi Tim,
No problem and it's certainly wise to verify an answer.
I'd say you posted your question on the correct board. It's usually best just to post once on the relevant board. I do agree that the term 'internal' does cause unnecessary confusion.
Here's a link to your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Yes, I'm certain that the 601 error code refers to your notebooks main battery ( 602 is a failure code for machines that have a secondary storage cell ). Interestingly, there is no error code generated for a failing rtc battery - or any in built diagnostic test for it, just the usual symptom of the system clock re-setting after each shutdown.
There's also a HP document regarding start-up battery alerts on the following link.

My iphone 4 suddenly went dead

My iphone 4 suddenly went dead :((( It just suddenly went dead, even though the battery still full, and I have tried hard reset but it still won't turn on :((((

Violet I'm sorry to hear that. Do you know if the device has any liquid damage or anything that may have caused it to just die and not come back on? Toggle on and off the vibrate switch on the said and see if the device vibrates? If it does then take it in for troubleshooting purposes at an Apple store.
Have you tried a hard reset of the device? By holding the home button and top button at the same time for 10-12 seconds until an apple logo pops up then let go of the home button and see if that fixes the issue.
Hope this helps.
