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!

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 wont start after shut down.

Hello, i got problem with HP Pavilion g6.
Yesterday i watched youtube, and laptop was on side, when i got too tired, then i shut down and left it on side for the night.In the morning i got home and thinked that battery is too low to start but when i plugged in power cable then the light even didnt turn on that's next to plug in hole. I have checked my power cable,it works fine but laptop dont do a single thing, even not the single light wont work.
Sorry for bad English,and its hard to write with phone.
Thank you.

Hello Uku,
Welcome back to the HP Forums!
I understand your HP Pavilion G6 notebook does not turn on. If the light around the power connector on the notebook does not light up, either the connector is not functioning or is not getting power from the adapter. If the LED indicator on the adapter is lit, it's a good sign that the adapter is functional, but is not a 100% fool-proof way to determine if it is working.
If possible, try another power adapter. Any adapter that fits will work for testing purposes. Once you have determined if the adapter works or not, discontinue use immediately and replace the original adapter if an alternate adapter works. You can order parts here: HP Part Surfer. You will need the exact model or product number to use this website. For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
You may also want to try reconnecting the power connector inside the notebook. For steps on removing and re-seating the power connector you can check out our Maintenance and Service Guide. The steps you're looking for can be found on page 63. Simply remove and reconnect the power connector and see if that resolves the issue.
If the above suggestions do not resolve the issue, I recommend you contact phone support for available service options. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this helps!

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?

IE had unknown error and after shut down laptop screen is blank

HP Pavillion dv6t Select Edition Customizable Notebook PC # A2Z58AV
Windows 7
IE popped up with a message that there was an error. No other explanation. After shutting down and rebooting, the laptop screen is black but has power.
No changes made to operating system before this occured.

Hi @devitojj
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that when you power off your notebook it automatically restarts in 4 seconds.
You have tried several steps to try and resolve this but there is no change.
As it repeated the behavior with the hard drive removed, you know it is not an issue with Windows.
You have tried updating the bios and returning it to bios defaults but no change.
Here is a link from answers.microsoft.com that helped other people with this issue.
Windows 7 computer restarts automatically after shutdown
This does suggest you edit your registry which does have the potential to cause issues, so be very careful. I would also suggest backing up your registry before you attempt it, just in case.
Back up the registry from Windows.microsoft.com
If that has not helped, I would try removing the Cmos or RTC battery for 30 seconds and then replacing it.
Please let me know if this helped.

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.

[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.

X240 No Power After Shutting Down Windows

I'm working on X240 Thinkpad which is not powering-up. After replacing the planar it booted but after shutting down Windows, it won't power-up again. I notcied that it powers on again after reseating all battery including the (CMOS battery), but is dead again once you shutdown windows. BIOS FW is updated and its passing the self test. Pressinng the reset button thru pin hole does not solve the issue. It always need resetting all battery (CMOS battery included). Problem does not occur when the thinkpad is not booted to windows and shutdown via power button only. Thanks in advance. Please note that the planar has been replaced for the 2nd time in the span of around 2 months.

I've had a similar problem with the laptop before this one. I could tell you to try to take the battery out and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then put the battery back, but that probably won't work. I could tell you to hold down the altcommandp or o and try to reset the ram, but that won't work. Your issue sounds like the power supply and your laptop is most likely dead.
If you bought it from apple.com you will have to return it and deal with the most incompetent customer service people on the planet. Took them 2 months to get my issue resolved.
I wish you the best of luck.

MBP won't turn off after shut down

My MacBook Pro with upgrade to Leopard is staying hot after shut down. I am having to remove the battery to make sure, otherwise I have one red hot laptop when I open up my backpack. Is this another Leopard issue?

Good morning,
No, this isn't an issue I experience with Leopard...
I'd try [Resetting your MacBook Pro System Management Controller (SMC)|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319] and see if that solves your issue.
Hope this helps! 

Heavy Battery Drain after updating to 8.1 Lumia Cy...

After updating my Lumia 1520 to 8.1 Cyan update, the battery drain is very high. The battery is lasting only for 6 to 7 hours when the data traffic is on (under mixed use of 2G and 3G modes). I have noticed few other users were also experiencing heavy battery drain after the Cyan update.
Will there be an update to fix this battery drain issue?
When the phone was in WP 8 Lumia Black update, battery backup was around 24-30 hrs (when data traffic was on).
What will be the workaround for this?
Moderator's note: We have provided a subject-related title to help other forum users easily view and respond to this post.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yep, my 1520 battery drains like a helicopter that's lost it's rotor after this 8.1 update.
I was just boasting last weekend how awesome the battery life was on this phone, I drove 300mi with the GPS w/navigation, did some tethering to my laptop for work, went overnight..no charging, used lightly all the next day, few pictures, email, browsing, phone calls, and drove 300mi back on GPS/navigation and I still had 38% battery left.
I updated to 8.1 sunday night, and on my normal commute to a customer in another state, which under 8.0 would have drained oh...mabey 4-5%, I was at 62% by the time I got to this customer yesteday.
All I did was make a phone call, that's it. All background stuff is not allowed. location off, cortana off, ...still drains.
Bad bad bad news. I'm not seeing much usefull ness out of 8.1, and considering the battery life and no real new features....just gimmicks if you ask me, I'm not sure I want to stay at 8.1 . I'm trying to give it a chance...battery life is still better than my POS samsung androids I've had in the past, but knowing how good it really can be...and no real features in 8.1 (I was hopeing they'd fix the imap email not allowed to map sent/trash/inbox issue)....eshh...what a mess it seems.

Enormous battery drain after 3.01 upgrade

guys and gals,
anyone of you experiencing a huge spike in battery drain after upgrading to firmware 3.01? On 3.0 my iphone 3gs had no probs but after my upgrade last night he ran out of juice within a few hours while I was sleeping. This morning I recharged it but an hour later the phone is allready down to 80% and feeling warm. I guess there is something running in the background but I cant figure out what. Turning the phone on/off doesnt seem to do a thing. Any ideas or personal experiences?

I did what you said in your 2nd post, and recharged the battery. after 6 hours, it was the charge was still at 100%!
then I used an app, IM+ Push for a few minutes and had disabled the Push functionality before quitting it. after an hour, I noticed that the battery issue was back. so deleted the said app, and the battery levels returned to normal.
This evening I re-installed the app, disabled the push functionality again and made sure to set my IM account to off before quitting. the problem hasn't re-occurred since then.
hope that this helps someone else who's having the same issue.
