Lenovo T60 Strange problems with 'power management/power guage'

Guys
Since doing a system update my battery guage keeps displaying a grey guage with 3 - inside and if you run the mouse of the icon it says "Battery Not Installed" then 1 minute later it goes green with 100%. Its so random all i can imagine is that there is a problem with the power mangement software, but i have uninstalled the new version and installed an older version but this again doesnt work
I have tried to disable the PM driver from device manager and the Atmel TPM device but these do nothing
I have heard that this was quite common but cant find a solution
Can anyone help
Regards
This was found doing a google search
I have a strange issue. I have a Lenovo T60 laptop and I am experiencing problems with the power management/power guage.
It will often show the battery not installed (power gauge is a greyish-white color with dashed lines) or it shows a red X. It does not matter if I am on AC power or on Battery power, it will show the full range of power, battery level, not installed, or an error.
I have searched Lenovo's site and I seem to remember seeing an FAQ about this, but now that I need it, I cannot find it.
What can I check or do to stop this? While it is annoying, I am not sure if I am having a battery problem or not. I did check my battery on Lenovo's site to see if it was recalled and it is not.
I do appreciate any help that any one can give me.

Strange Problem with Web Object Manager

Hi,
I have a very strange problem with JDev.
When I register a servlet with the Web Object Manager, it does not work (the web server does not find the servlet). This is not the end... If I exit JDev, re-open it and return to the Web Object Manager, instead of the Web Object Manager tree appears a tree labeled JTree with leaves labeled "colors", "sports" and "food"???
No way to recover the Web Object Manager!
I had to re-install JDev.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Satellite A300-202 - problems with the AC power

Hi,
I bought a Satellite A300-202 a couple of months ago and I'm having intermittent problems with the AC power.
Sometimes I plug the AC power and it won't start charging (the indicator leds are off and windows says it is on battery). Other times it is charging and suddenly stops.
I suspected it could be the cord broken in the inside but it seems to also happen when no one touches it. Usually, when it stops charging, I unplug it from the wall, wait a few seconds and plug it back in, and it starts charging fine never stopping again.
Anyone got a similar problem? I wonder if is there any way to just replace the AC power parts so I won't have to send the whole laptop for reparing.
Thanks
Pedro

Hi
I never had a problem with my Toshiba chargers but one old non-Toshiba AC adaptor died after 6 month of usage. After the replacement it works without any problems.
I think you should check the BIOS update as mentioned by Akuma but for me it sounds more like a AC adaptor issue.
So if the BIOS update doesnt help, the AC adaptor should be checked definitely.

875P NEO FIS2R problems with booting at power-up

Having problems with booting at power-up.
Recently, with no apparent modification to system - at power up the system will often not boot. About 80% of time systems seems to go into a loop with CD/DVD drive light blinking a few times, then the floppy drive light comes on and can hear the FDD run – within 30 seconds or so, this process starts over again. Power switch LED is on and HDD LED is on (continuously). All fans are running (power supply fan, case fan, CPU fan and Intel Canterwood 875 fan ).
Monitor power on light is in power save mode (amber) when system does not boot. When boot is successful the monitor power light turns green immediately.
After pressing the reset button several times (varies between pressing reset button 1 time to 30 or more times) system will then boot OK or go into set up.
Once running there is no apparent problem.
This mainboard comes with D Bracket containing 2 USB 2.0 ports, and 4 diagnostics LEDs - when boot problem occurs the diagnostic LEDs, give a code that in the MSI mainboard manual states “Initializing Keyboard Controller” and diagnostic LEDs stays in this mode until via reset button provides a successful boot and start up.
Have reseated all connectors.
SYSTEM
Mainboard – MSI 875P Neo FIS2R (MSI 6758)
BIOS – AMI v1.8 (has not been updated)
CPU – Intel P4 2.6 GHz - system bus 800 MHz 512 KB L2 Cache
Memory – 1.5 gb (2 x 256 mb and 2 x 512mb)
Power Supply – Antec 380 watt

No, second 40GB HDD was installed months before this issue started and is jumpered as slave drive. Also, no other additional hardware installed for several months before issue.

Strange Problem with P67A-GD65

By the way, 1.7 bios is not available for download on european site, only us.
I just saw it at the Global MSI site.

Strange problem with Adobe Acrobat X (crash without a trace)

Hi,
I have a strange problem with Adobe Acrobat. It happens totally randomly, it leaves no signs in system logs.
What is happening: during my work Adobe Acrobat sudennly crashes. After a crash I cannot run it again - system seems to do something for a second, but then nothing happends. When i look into taks manager - there are no processes of Acrobat.exe. It just doesn't want to run. What I need to do is to reinstall whole Adobe Acrobat - which requires restart.
I've already tried to restart system after crash, it doesn't help - reinstall is required.
Sometimes everyting is fine for a 3 months, sometimes crash happens a week after the previous one. It also happens in very different situations (somtimes while opening a file, sometimes when doing something simple, sometimes in more complex tasks).
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
Acrobat version: 10.1.1

Strange problem with 2 different Soundblaster car

I have a very strange problem with these 2 cards First i had soundblaster li've value which was installed with the default windows drivers. Although it'swas installed correctly in device manager, i hear no sound and when i go to control panel->sounds and audio devices, under the volume tab there?was no audio device and everything?was greyed. But when i restart or shutdown the pc the windows sound suitable for this action played without problems. Media player couldn't play any sound, neither youtube. I downloaded and installed the Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG). Everything worked ok but after a while i had the same problem. So i decided to buy a different sound card, the Li've Audigy SE. Installed, worked fine, but after a short period of time i have the same problem. Most of the times when i boot into Windows the sound is ok, after a while (5 minutes or hour) i hear no sound and in the control panel i see the no audio device message although in control panel the card appears to be installed correctly. Any ideas?

Yes, I agree.
But my question: is there any software trick that I could use to fix the situation.
For example, how can I ask 2 keyboards about each one's NumLock state ?
I know about getLockingKeyState() function, but it always returns the NumState of the regular keyboard. How can I know and/or change the NumLock state of the small one ?
Thanks

Strange problem with purple-remote

Hi, I experience a strange problem with purple-remote (program which allow to control Pidgin via D-Bus) :
To get the current status message, you have to type
$ purple-remote getstatusmessage
This works, but when I type
$ echo $(purple-remote getstatusmessage)
this fails with the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/purple-remote", line 238, in <module>
print output
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 12: ordinal not in range(128)
Why?
How can this program work in the first case but not in the second?
Thank you
Edit: BTW, is there a workaround to put the output of `purple-remote getstatusmessage' in a variable? $(), redirections and piping doesn't work.

Hi Andyh,
Welcome to the forum. How annoying does that sound, if I had to get up every time I wanted to change channel or volume I would crack up.
Drop me an email to [email protected], please include your BT account details and I will see what can be done to help.

Strange problem with App Id on developer account

Hi,
I have very strange problem with App Id on developer account.
We have uploaded one project with App Id(com.yourcompany.app) and its ready for sale now. Now we have to release update for this application but we could not find that App Id(com.yourcompany.app) on developer account. But strange is that i could not see delete option for App Id.
If i try to create new App Id with com.yourcompany.app name then it shows that it is already being used please select any other name.
Does anyone has faced this type of problem.
Regards,

You shouldn't need to enter the App Id when updating your app. Could you please describe the page in which you're asked for the App Id, and describe how you got to that page?
For example, if I wanted to update Version 1.2 of Ray'sApp, I would log into ITC, then click on +Manage Your Applications+ to get to the "Manage Your Applications" page. On this page I see the icon for every app I have in the store. I then click on the icon for Ray'sApp 1.2 to get to the page titled "Ray'sApp". Next I click the 4th selection to the right on that page: +Update Application+, click No and Continue on the "Export Compliance" page, and get to the "Upload Application" page. On that page I fill in Version Number: 1.3, Language English, Name: Ray'sApp, Keywords ..., What's New in this Version: ..., and the Apple Content Descriptions table. Then I upload the binary.
Following the above example, show us how you got to a step that requested the App Id. Else you might refer to Page 86: Version Updates in the iTunes Connect Developer Guide. In that case, please explain how your update experience differed from the steps in the Guide.

Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.
If anyone could lend some light on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Strange problem with Subviews on 1.0 Beta

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with SubViews on 1.0 Beta. I'm not sure If I'm being stupid and have done something wrong, or if there's a problem here.
My application is directly based on one of the examples, so the structure etc is almost identical. I've simplified the files below to avoid confusing the issue.
The default landing page (greeting.jsp) looks like this:
<%@ taglib declarations for HTML and CORE taglibs %>
<HTML>
<HEAD><title>Insulation Layer Demo</title></HEAD>
<body bgcolor="white">
<f:view>
<jsp:include page="sysstatus.jsp" />

</f:view>
</body>
</HTML>
sysstatus.jsp looks like this:
<%@ taglib declarations for HTML and CORE taglibs %>
<f:subview id="SystemStatusView">
<h:form id="systemStatusForm">
<h:selectboolean_checkbox id="System1Available" value="#{SystemStatus.system1Available}"/>System 1 
<h:selectboolean_checkbox id="System2Available" value="#{SystemStatus.system2Available}"/>System 2
<h:command_button id="submit" action="success" value="submit" />
</h:form>
</f:subview>When I view this page, the checkboxes all seem to work okay (in that their state is preserved across calls etc), but the formatting is very screwy. The resulting page looks something like:
<chkbox1> <chkbox2> <Submit>
System 1
System 2
<Other HTML content from greeting.jsp>When I look at the HTML source code being generated, it is genuinly being generated as above, that is, all the form tags first, and then the rest of the content. Interestinly, I tried adding a ${SystemStatus.system2Available} into the body text, and it was rendered as literal text (i.e. not evaluated as EL), which is very curious -- makes me wonder if the included file is included as text, rather than JSP, although the custom taglibs and <f:form> tags etc are not in the generated HTML.
If I lift all the content between the <h:form> tags (inclusive) out of sysstatus.jsp and put it in greeting.jsp in place of the <jsp:include> tag, all is well.
Any ideas? All help gratefully recieved!
Thanks,
Paul

Personally, I think it is a bug in the rendering model of JSF itself because if you include any non-JSF tags, they don't get rendered according to my understanding of the what the spec says (in the location the tags are written).
The only workaround that I could come up with is to use straight JSF tags in all of your layers. Things are then rendered the way that they "should" be rendered.
You could try wrapping all of your HTML tags in <f:verbatim> tags and see if that helps.
Good luck!

Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) - but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into
and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there. This is what Barney previously posted about that:

Strange problem with ACLs

Hi,
I have just migrated an oracle database from 11.1.0.7 on Win Server 2003 to 11.2 on Linux 64 bit. I am having a strange problem with ACLs - I can create the ACL but when I perform either of the following two commands:
SELECT * FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACLS
or
SELECT * FROM NET$_ACL
I get no rows returned. The ACL exists somehow because if I try and create it again I get the error that it exists. Has anyone got any advice here? Something is out of sync and I need to know how to fix it up.
Thanks
