MSI GS70 - Battery light blinking amber after Windows update

As the title says, but in a bit more detail, I was doing fine with my computer and didn't have this problem at all before the update. The battery charge indicator would either be a solid white for charging or off when it was at full charge. Now after a recent windows update that I did, it seems to charge fully and keep a 2 hour charge that it normally held, but now at full charge it blinks an amber color. I did a bit of looking into and apparently it means I have a defective battery that isn't holding much charge anymore or something, though it seems to be holding the charge just fine.
Is there a fix for this or am I required to send my laptop to MSI to get it repaired under warranty?

Hi, you can try MSI Battery Calibration:
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GS70-2QE-Stealth-Pro-Silver-Edition.html#down-utility&Win8.1 64
And update BIOS, EC may help.
If battery is still abnormal after these actions, forward the problem to the repair center, good luck.
None of that worked, awesome. Guess I gotta ask the repair center, thanks for helping anyway.

MSI GS70 : Battery Light Indicator Blinking Amber

Hey everyone, my MSI GS70's battery status light started blinking amber a few days ago. It blinks amber whenever the battery is fully charged with or without the adapter plugged-in. The battery is still working, and the blinking amber light goes away when the battery level drops from 100%.
When the battery level is at 99%, and I plug in the adapter, it starts charging the battery. I remember the battery doesn't get charged when it's at this level.
FYI I hardly use my laptop on battery, always using with the adapter plugged-in, so I'm very confused!!
Thanks.

Power Cycle
Turn off the laptop -> push and hold the battery off button for 5 seconds located on the bottom of the laptop. (You may use safety pin).
Remove the battery pack and install it once again. Test the laptop again.
Remove the battery pack -> push the battery off button -> install the battery pack once again.
Reset BIOS
Run Vaio update and Windows update.

Yoga 2 13" Dead? Battery light blinks 3 times but will not turn on.

Just purchased a Lenovo Yoga 2 13" about 3 weeks ago. I like the PC, but I have an issue. I was using it last night and I shut it down and left it to charge. Today when I went to turn it on the battery light blinks 3 times (1 second on, 1 second off x 3) and that's it. It won't boot at all. Have tried holding the power button for 3 - 30 seconds and pressing the reset button but all I get is the 3 blinks of the battery light (no power button light at all). Is there anything I can do? Hard reset button combo or anything like that to try? Thanks.

I'm having the EXACT same problem! The light blinks 3 times and the holding of the power button will not work either. My laptop said the battery was dying and was at 10% and before I could figure out why it wasn't charging, it died completely and the power cord will not charge it any more for some reason. I have only had this laptop for 6 months! And I replaced my old laptop (Yoga 13 original because of charging problems too!) I'm so upset about this. I will NEVER buy another Yoga/Lenovo.

Dell Latitude E6520 fails to boot after Windows Updates

Hello,
I have a Dell Latitude E6520 that is not starting up after Windows updates. It installs updates and requests a reboot, after which it blue screens at the splash logo and reboots again. This goes on indefinitely. The only way to repair it is to boot from
a recovery disk and run:
dism /image:D:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
This is after running dism /image:D:\ /get-packages and noticing that several updates are still in an "Install_Pending" state. These are the kb's that are pending:
kb2982378
kb2978742
kb2977629
kb2976897
kb2973112
kb2972211
There were other updates, but those showed as installed. I would post the WindowsUpdate.Log, but I do not see a button to attach a file and the log is very long. Here is what I think is relevant towards the end of the log:

SP 2010 - Getting "An unexpected error has occurred. " message when accessing Sharepoint site after windows update - Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi,
I am new to SP 2010. I have installed Share point 2010 server (trial version) on my Windows 7 Home Premium Laptop by following the below link.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869%28office.14%29.aspx
Everything went fine and was able to see the new sharepoint site after completing configuration wizard. SP2010 Central Admin also worked fine.
However, after windows update, sharepoint site is not working. I was able to see the site working for more than a day before windows update. SP2010 Central Admin is still working. Executed "PSCONFIG" after
update but still no good.
I saw a warning "The Security Token Service is not available" in Central Admin and did some research to fix the issue but nothing worked.
Hotfix
I believe I have all hotfixes mentioned in the forums. Here is the list.

I even tried to uninstall Sharepoint and re-install the same. It worked even second time until it went thro' windows update. App pools are running and Websites are up and running in IIS.
Can anyone please help me to fix this issue?
Thanks

Windows Update Error 800B0109 after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 Installed

Hi, I have this error message when running windows update, it happened after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 installed.
Any idea how to resolve this?
Thank you.

Hi，
Please make sure that your antivirus application does not scan the files in the
%windir% \SoftwareDistribution directory on any computer on which Windows Update Agent is installed.
You can also temporarily turn off the antivirus application and check the result.
Or run the following commands, and press Enter after each command:
Net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%
Ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Net start wuauserv
Try to install updates again.

Profiles being reset after windows updates?

Hi All
I'm having issues with Outlook 2013 SP1 resetting our users profiles after Windows Updates have been applied. Their profiles are being reset whilst their previous profiles are being renamed to "BACKUP of <profile name>".
Office 2013 x86 has been deployed via VL Media onto Win7 x64 machines and we are distributing the ImportPRF registry key via GPO (set to Update) in order to customise the profiles on first run. (basic email account and attaching a default PST file)
It appears that after windows updates are applied outlook is triggering the first run process again and therefore resetting the users profiles back to the standard set in our PRF.
We used this method to configure Outlook 2010 and for the years of deploying Office 2010 we never had any issues. Can anyone suggest what might be going on here or what might have changed in Office 2013?
Thanks

I do not see much about coloum 14, but I am guessing this file is stored somewhere and its corrupt. Update.xul suggests that it is the update file. Do you still have this in your downloads folder? There are two places for update and for a clean reinstall:
[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/] in a private window will give you a new install or you can choose from here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/]
This is what the file should look like; [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/log/7a2edc5171e6/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/content/update.xul] If you can copy and paste that file from a working browser we can see the issue, but it will just look the same as the error.
if you can replace the contents of the file locally with what it should look like it will fix the error, but who knows if there are other errors. May be best to delete the updater and save all the profile folder contents.

I want to backup my pinned tabs and my bookmarks as they have been lost several times after windows updates

several times after system crashes and sometimes after windows updates my pinned tabs have disappeared. How can I back up the pinned tabs and bookmarks??

Firefox stores the bookmarks and the browsing history in the places.sqlite database file..
There are 10 rotating daily JSON backups (bookmarks-####-##-##.json) in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder, one for each day that Firefox is started.

Pinned (App) tabs and tab groups are stored in the sessionstore.js file.

Blue screen: HP Pavilion dv6 after Windows update on Aug 1.

Last year or so, I had this blue screen issue with my dv6 laptop and was solved by uninstalling KB2670838.And things have been very peaceful since then, but the blue screen re-occured recently after windows update last week.The updates were suggested by HP Support agent installed in and was for getting ready for Windows 10 installation.But my pc gets blue in every 3 min now, so I un-installed all updated job occured last week as temporal solution. Though I wish to be ready for Windows 10 installation, I need to have operable PC for my work.(This is Win7 sp1, home eddition) It would be great if anyone could assist me on this. Thank you, Piko.

I have this problem. It happens without any warning.
I don't know the reason. Please help me.

AirPort Extreme 802.11n WiFi is blinking amber after changing from cable to DSL. Everything works well; but light used to be solid green.

I changed from cable to DSL yesterday. Technician connected the new modem and all is working excellently, except that the light on my AirPort Extreme which used to be a solid green, is now blinking amber. I know this is not right, yet everything else is working well. What's wrong and how can I fix it?

We need to do some troubleshooting to find out why the amber light is blinking, and to do that we need to know what operating system you are using on your Mac or PC.
If you have a Mac, and are not sure what operating system it is using, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

NVG589 RG low battery light blinks after power outage

ATT installed a new Motorola NVG589 RG about a week ago.After a power outage today, the low battery light keeps blinkingMeanwhile, an ATT automated call keeps calling my Uverse home phone telling me to replace the battery.Now, my Uverse phone has a low battery so I can't make any calls.It must be due to the low RG battery.I can't even call ATT (for some reason my cell phone is not working either) to get their help.The DSL is still working (so far).I see that the NVG589 has a battery.Do I need to replace that myself? (If so, where do I get a cheap one?)It must have been a bad battery to only work for a week. Is there a warranty?I appreciate any advice you can send my way!Thanks a lot!EG

There may be a short (30 day) warranty on the Backup Battery, it would not hurt to ask. Normally, though, you're responsible for replacing an exhaused backup battery.
Since the backup battery is designed to support the phone side of the RG during a power failure, it could be that the failure of that battery is causing an issue. You could, for the time being, remove it and see if that helps with your U-verse Voice problem. I doubt it's affecting your cell phone.
In your shoes, I'd click this U-verse Customer Service link to send a Private Message (PM) to the AT&T customer service team to help you resolve your U-verse Voice and Battery issue. You can expect a reply via return PM (the blue envelope in the upper right hand corner of this site, next to your name and avatar) in a business day or three.
This is a group of U-verse service specialists who are knowledgeable about U-verse and will stay with your problem until the end (instead of forgetting about it when the phone hits the cradle). Speed things up by including your Billing Account Number, and the best time and way to reach you.

X61 battery light blinks

Hi
My lenovo x61 is 15 months old and the 8 cell battery on it was giving me around 4hrs battery life.. and then couple of weeks ago the system update software updated the bios and whole other bunch of software and after that the battery light started to blink when AC charger was plugged in and it would not charge the battery. The battery information says only around 320 cycles. and that battery cannot be charged.
I dont think a bettery can just die.. some firmware on the battery chip is causing this. lenovo refused to exchange it as it was just out of warranty. Is there a solution to get that battery fixed by some kind of firware reset? All this problem started after the bios and other updates done by the system update software.
Any advise to get the battery working would be appreciated.
Lenovo X61 type 7764-cto
Thanks

I met the same problem.
I bought my X61 on Sept. 2007.
6 weeks ago, when I was using the laptop, suddenly I noticed the battery indicator light was blinking very quickly. It's abnormal. Then I found the battery neither charged nor discharged. Now I have to use my AC adaptor always.
My battery's FRU P/N is 42T4505, I checked the recent recall:
http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/batt/082009/LandingPage.html?lang=en
But my FRU number is not listed on that page.
I downloaded the "Battery Verification Tool" from this page and run, then the tool direct to a webpage which said I couldn't replace the battery from Lenovo. And I found they will only change battery for free for those user who satisfied their 3 terms simultaneously
The battery must have already failed due to the Irreparable Damage error.
The battery FRU part number must be on the list support by the extended warranty shown in the model/part list on this page.
The age of the battery must be no more than 6 months past the expiration date of the battery warranty.
I checked by the windows battery manager, there isn't any warning message like "Irreparable damage" or "Battery cannot be charged" described on the above recall page. It only said the battery status is poor.
Does anyone know any other solution on this issue?
Best regards,
Sean
