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.)

New battery is not detected on Satellite A300

Hello every body
I had this problem with my laptop Satellite A300 (PSAJ4E). I bought a new battery and started my laptop. I have Windows Vista.
The battery is not detected. When I remove the charger its work well but with indicator of low battery so Im update my BIOS but the problem is still there.
So I look around and tried to disable Microsoft in device manger.
Still not fixed properly. I removed charger and insert it again.
It shows the AC power supply but no charge.

hi king_soft,
sold a third party battery?
in some cases the used controller (battery) is not recognised by your system...
you can try this (without any promisses):
shut down notebook, remove battery, connect ac-adapter and make sure unit is powered
insert battery and wait 24hours
disconnect ac-adapter and remove battery
switch machine on to make it fully discharged (some components holding electricity)
insert battery and start the unit
check powermanager or energy options if the battery is recognised...
never open up a battery pack - it's really dangerous!
if the battery pack is recognised by the system - you won!
if not make sure that your ac-adapter supplies the right voltage/current to your system
test another battery to make sure the loading device (notebook) is working properly
if so exchange battery pack!

Hp Pavilion is now not detecting the battery all of the sudden after 1 1/2 years.

My Hp Pavilion laptop is not detecting the battery. I can't seem to find information anywhere regarding how to resolve this issue. The battery was detected as of yesterday and was charging still at a "good" level. The battery Icon has an X and "No battery detected" .
Why does this happen and how to resolve it. I've tried taking off and on the battery several times as well as rebooting. NO luck!
Thanks,

A secondary battery was not detected, but your system supports a second battery.

Hi,
I have read this while testing my battery with HP tools dignostics:
Secondary Battery: a battery was not detected, but your system supports a second battery. You may want to purchase a second battery to extend your battery life between charges
What is meant with your system supports a second battery?
I think this 'your system supports a second battery' should have been said if my computer supported two batteries insereted simulataneously.
However, if this 'your system supports a second battery.' only means if the first battery got to its critical level, then I could shut down my computer, and then replace it with the second one which is fully charged.
As a result, I would be saying that my system supports a second battery, a third, fourth, fifth, and so on. I don't need to say my system supports a second battery.

Thanks a lot,
Then, for my laptop which only supports to insert on battery at the same time. Then as long as the secondray battery will not be inserted along with the primary battery at the same time, then my system and my computer don't support secondary battery. However, they support only one battery inserted. As a result, They wouldn't have said(written) a tip says during the battery testing 'secondary battery was not deteced, but your system supports a second battery.'
that they should have written system supports a second battery, a third, fourth, fifth, and so on which can be inserted instead of your inserted empty primary battery.
I really don't find any a docking station port on the bottom of my laptop. Do you think that there are some HP models can support two batteries to be inserted at the same time?

Battery is not detected in Equium U400-124

Hi Guys,
I bought a U400-124 yesterday and replaced it today for the same model and i still have the same problem.
The notebook works fine when its conected to AC power but as soon as i unplug it the notebook dies ? Its not the charger thats the problem, i have changed that also. On the icon that tells you if the battery is charging or not it says "Battery is not detected"
Does anyone have an idea why this happens ? All help would be hugely appreciated.

Hey man
I bought a Toshiba Equium U400 too. And i faced the same problem.
So I took it to the ASP (Authorized Service Provider) and they said it was not the laptops problem it was the problem of the battery.
So as I had a warranty I changed my battery and its running great..
Try my idea and your going to be happy..
So go to a Toshiba reseller or buy your battery online.
So you did a wrong thing changing you laptop should have changed your battery... happy to help and tell me if u have any other problem.
Bye

Ideapad U410 Refurb from outlet - "Battery is not detected"

Hey everyone,
I recently purchased a refurbished Ideapad U410 touch from the lenovo outlet website and received it a few days ago. I charged the laptop and it says "battery is not detected" in the notification area. Once I unplug the charger, the laptop will instantly shut off and can't be used unless there is a charger connected. From what I understand, the battery can be missing, wires disconnected or faulty, or the battery is completely dead. Since I purchased it just over a week ago, I have a 21 day full warranty and another limited 1 year warranty on top of that.
I've contacted lenovo support over the phone and have been redirected in circles over 5 times without being able to get a replacement or ship it back. I don't want to remove the bottom cover either since that will void my warranty. Can someone please help me out with a direct number or who to contact? I've been told Post Sales Support is the correct department but I can't seem to ever reach it....
Thanks in advance,
Mitchell

MacBook Pro 13 Early 2011 Battery Degradation to Not Detected, User Replaced New Battery also Not Detected, Please Help!

I have a MBP early 2011 13 inch and do not have Apple Care. After I installed Mountain Lion I noticed the battery health was dropping pretty rapidly, with a service battery warning. I tried resetting the SMC and PRAM and even a clean install. I took it into an Apple store and they said I should have cycled it more, but I could still use it. The health dropped and dropped until a battery would not even be detected. Because Apple would not replace it for me for free and I didn't want to pay for them to do so, I bought my own battery. Once I replaced the battery with the new one, it still says there is no battery connected.
When I detach the battery and then attach it again, the battery indicator lights on the side show 4 dots. When I plugged in the MagSafe connector, the fifth light started blinking (I thought it was charging) and then it went back to all of them blinking indicating no battery detected. The computer also automatically turned on when I connected the MagSafe.
I have tired multiple times to reset PRAM and SMC even after installing the new battery to no avail. I can use the machine with the MagSafe connected, but as soon as the cord is unplugged or bumped, it goes into the emergency sleep mode.
Any thoughts on what might be ailing this not yet two year old machine? My first Mac lasted 7 years before any logic board fail so I hope that is not it. Anything I should try that I haven't yet? Any ideas on what this might cost me through Apple?
Thanks!

Why don't you look through this to insure you did everything correctly:

Also, where did you get this battery?

Battery is not detected while charging

My laptop battery doesn't hold a charge while the charger is plugged in. Also, the battery icon on the bottom right of the screen has a red x. When I hover over the icon, it says "No battery is detected".
I tried searching on the system's help features and Control Panel with no success. We use the AC adapter that was included with the computer.

Nokia belle battery monitor not available in your ...

Hi,
I live in Taiwan and have a newly purchased Nokia 701. I would like to install the Nokia Battery Monitor V3.0 which I gather to be designed for Nokia Belle.
When I search for it on the Nokia Store I get no results. When I try to follow the link
http://store.ovi.com/content/132519
I get the message
Sorry, this item is not available for your country.
And if I try
http://store.ovi.com/content/132519/download
then I get an internal server error.
Does anyone know whether there is a good reason why this app is not available here, even in an English version, which is all I want.
Alternately, does anyone know where else I might get it from, or have the email address from the Nokia store for support issues about the product?
With thanks
Alan Watson
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks again for your help. I am finding the monitor very useful for checking the battery level and the statistics on usage especially informative.
I will not press 'solved' if only because I think it should be available to Nokia customers everywhere first.
Thanks
Alan

My battery does not charge, the battery is okay but no charging functionality

i have a g60 laptop, I think it is US120 model, It should be registered to me. When the AC charger is on it does not detect it and the battery does not charge. The battery got lower and lower and now it will not start. It also will not run without the batter in it and without charge in the battery. Any ideas_?

It sounds like your adaptor may have died. Here is a link that you can find information for troubleshooting your adaptor.

External monitor not detected on Thinkpad W530 intel-virtual-output

I'm having problems with connecting my ThinkPad W530 to external monitors since a few months. I'm using NVIDIA Optimus and bumblebee/optirun since the VGA and Mini DisplayPort connectors are only wired to the NVIDIA card om this laptop. For a long time I have executed:
$ optirun true
$ intel-virtual-output
Then I have started the Screens GUI tool in Gnome to setup the placement of the external screen but now the external screen is not present in the GUI tool and xrandr gives me:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
LVDS1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
1920x1080 60.00*+ 50.00
1400x1050 59.98
1280x1024 60.02
1280x960 60.00
1024x768 60.00
800x600 60.32 56.25
640x480 59.94
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
If I select "Discrete mode" and select startup screen as VGA in the BIOS the BIOS and the Grub screens shows on the external monitor but the screen locks on the screen that shows that the system is booting with the linux-ck kernel. This has never worked for me in Arch Linux so that is no surprise. In Ubuntu everything everything worked fine the last time I tried.
How can I debug this? Why is the external screen not detected any more?

Thanks, I am not sure exactly how to read the logs but I cannot find anything that is obviously wrong
Below is my log with an external screen connected via Mini DisplayPort and after running:
$ optirun true
$ intel-virtual-output
a few times, no more logs seem to be added when I connect/disconnect the monitor or when I run the above two commands more times.

I am trying to use the DVI port and an external monitor. The driver does not detect the external monitor.
Uninstalling the Intel driver the Generic profile will work on the external monitor, but is overly fuzzy, how do I get the T61 to recognize my external monitor with the right drivers?
I am currently running the Intel Driver Ver. - 7.14.10.1329, which provides the message under Multiple Display:
Two displays must be connected to the computer before you can use this feature. Please connect another display.
Of course my 22" monitor is connected. That is the frustrating part. I have also uninstalled Presentation Director, just in case, but then re-installed after it seemed that wasn't the problem.
There is a newer driver from Intel but it is not Lenovo approved yet I guess. Though I highly doubt this is the problem. What can I do?

I did post a thread on the thinkpads.com too, but so far haven't had any luck.

Well the new dock came but didn't fix the problem. Now my nice new T61 is packed up in a depot box, waiting for DHL to come pick it up.
dkaufman1 -- I guess we do have different problems. If I set my T61 to display to the DVI port in the bios I get a blank screens on both the DVI connectd monitor and the laptop screen until the OS boots when I have the laptop in the dock. The only way I can see the bios screen to set it back to the ThinkPad LCD setting is to boot it disconnected from the dock.
I really hope that this problem is resolved, as I really like the T61 otherwise. I was even using it with the VGA cable connected to my 22" monitor, but it was pretty hard to take. I'm now back to my old desktop hooked up to the same monitor via DVI and it is quite the relief, even if it isn't as zippy as the T61.

Battery is not charging - New Battery

I have just bought a replacement battery as my old one reached the end of its life. After inserting the new battery and plugging in the charger, the message "Battery is not charging" appears when i click on the battery symbol. How do I set up my new battery? Or is my charger the problem?

I'm not too sure. I knew the laptop battery needed replacing so I waited for it to die completely. But the charger light wasn't lighting up like it usually did just before the battery died. I assumed it was because of the battery running out of juice. Should I try another charger and see what happens?

Monitor not detecting connection after installing TI4200 8X

Attempting install of GForce4 TI4200-VTD8X (MS-8894). Searched through the manual and says it can support 4x agp but when I put it in the computer the monitor cannot detect a connection to computer but behind the message saying so I can make out activity while my computer boots up...the stages of the boot process are noticeable but are moving rapidly from left to right and fast enough to be not able to see. But the main factor is that it says it cant see the computer but there is residual display behind the message saying so. Since I cannot boot the computer to install drivers it must be something else perhaps in the Bios but ive verified its set to 4X AGP (which is max) especially since I was using AGP beforehand. Perhaps there is another setting I might be missing in the Bios?
ASUS A7V 133 4X AGP
768MB Ram
400 watt powersupply
KDS monitor "19"
Ah yes currect video card being used is a GForce 2 MX also agp

Cannot even see to boot to safe mode. Only thing that can be seen on the screen is the "cable plugged in?" and behind it the chaos indicating at least some activity. No readable text. Just the changes in the boot process are noticeable from the changes in the "chaos" color behind it. Text is there but its skewed severely and flys from left to right too fast to read. Swapped in prior card and works fine and while there lowered resolution to 640X480. Although the resolution shouldnt matter since the boot process and mem check all have the same behavior.

Lenovo ThinkPad Helix Mini DisplayPort Monitor not Detected

My ThinkPad Helix does not detect the connection of a known good Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, VGA cable, and monitor.
Windows 8.1 Pro
Intel HD Graphics 4000 Driver 10.18.10.3958
Thanks for any troubleshooting tips.

Hi, Backupsonline
Before buying another adapter, I would just make sure that the system is fully up to date by means of drivers and BIOS. Here is the driver matrix for your machine, which lists all available updates for the system. Try downloading the latest versions for your devices and see if it helps.
Best,
Adam
