My ibook loses battery power when turned off and unplugged

I have been puzzled by this since November 2006. I calibrated my battery twice as prescribed and still, as soon as i shut down my ibook and unplug it, it's battery charge goes down. Why is this? I'd greatly appreciate help. I'm a former pc user and none of my pc laptops have this problem. I just want to know why my battery loss power when unplugged and turned off. thanks in advance

Well you might want to try what they call "battery reconditioning" which is 7 simple steps listed below:
1: Charge your iPod fully.
2: Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
3: Then carge your iPod fully again.
4: Then Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
5: One more time charge your iPod fully.
6: And then again Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
7: Then one last time charge it fully again.
Reminder: it is best to let the battery die all of the way each time inbetween chages. for example if it has 60% battery life dont charge it use it till it is dead and then charge it up all the way!
*This should inturn maximise your battey life also!*

Satellite P855-10G runs out of battery even when turned off

Hi everyone,
I have bought the Toshiba Satellite P855-10G, but im terrified because he runs out of battery even when turned off..
Anyone knows how can i solve the issue?
Best regards,
Igor Tarelho

Hi
Access the BIOS and turn OFF the options like: Waking up on LAN and Keyboard.
In Toshiba HW Setup I recommend disabling the USB Sleep and Charge function as well
Both enabled options might allow discharging the battery even if the unit is OFF

Should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

It's up to the cellular carrier, but I believe most (if not all) will enqueue the messages when your iPhone is off.
So generally speaking, a few minutes after you turn your iPhone on, your messages should display. Similarly, your voicemails would arrive.

No power after turning off and plugging into a new functioning outlet.

Perhaps corruption of the Energy Saver settings...
Reset the PRAM cannot hurt.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Yoga Tablet 10 battery discharge when turned off

I am now on to my second Yoga Tablet 10 in 15 days having returned the first one to the supplier for refund. The replacement I have purchased seams to have one of the problems I had before.
When Powered off using the pop up ' power off' tab the tablet appears to switch itself off however when the tablet was turned off the battery was 89% and when turned back on 6 hours later the battery was only 49%. When the tablet is turned off it is left in stand mode.
On the first yoga tablet I had it did this twice and then would not charge or boot.
Has anyone else experienced this as a problem ?

Hiya all,
Having exactly the same problem. Here is the sequence of events in my case:
1. Got my first Yoga 10 beginning of March - returned to Argos after the weekend due to dead pixels on the display.(not relevant but worth mentioning ;-) )
2. Got my second Yoga 10. Tablet manufactured end of Oct 2013. Downloaded the first update of software (approx. 150mb). No problem. Worked for a week.
3. Then second update was available (approx. 15mb). Did that too. Tablet worked fine for a day - literally turned it on once and then turned it off.
3. After that the thing went into Meta Mode itself when I want it to use it. Tried the power button and volume up. Got as far as the menu. Reboot didn’t work, actually nothing work.
4. So I flashed the Rom (using directions from this forum). Got it working back again but I am having now battery problem. It gets discharged when the tablet is off. Sounds familiar? ;-))
What I have notice is when you trying to turn it on (should take approx. 4 secs for tablet to vibrate and start booting) takes more than 10 second to start booting. This is indicator that most likely your battery is discharging itself while the tablet is off.
And another funny thing - last week my tablet actually behaved normally for a while. For day and the half it didn’t lose any % of battery while being switched off and took it only 4 second to start booting. So, I thought things got fixed magically LOL. Well, they didn’t. Back to square 1. Oh, if you keep tablet in standby, the battery is not discharging itself, but that is not a solution....right?
What is most annoying is the fact that there seems to be a connection between the thing going into Meta mode after the update/s and the problem with the battery. Too many users are reporting this fact / facts and I am sure Lenovo knows about it but where is the solution?
Now, I think it is time to return the thing and get the money (no guarantee or just hope that Lenovo is working on the solution.
Very disappointed customer. Lenovo get your act together ASAP.

Why is my ipad still using battery power when switched off & locked away with no one using it?

Why is my IPad still discharging battery when switched off and locked away - with no one using it? Charged it to 100% on holiday and locked in safe. 2 days later it was at 76%!

How is it "switched off"? Are you pressing the button on the top so the screen goes black? If so, that isn't shut off, but put to sleep. I will still be doing things in the background and using battery power.
To shut it fully off, press and hold the button on top, you will get a notification on the screen that says "Slide to power off". Slide the button and it will turn completly off.
If this is how you switched it off, let us know and we will see what else we can figure out.

Power LED Turns Off and pc Hangs

Hi,
During the last few weeks i've been having some problems with my system.
1. While playing games at a certain time (not always the same time) my power led turns off but my system does not turn off. Instead it just runs very slow and any audio, software and the mouse pointer is constantly lagging until i restart it.
2. After problem 1 while restarting it takes a lot of time to shutdown and hangs at the Windows is Shutting Down screen, so then i'll have to press the reset button.
3. The system also rarely instantly turns of without going trough shutdown and even more rarely it resets while scanning the RAM at the BIOS.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Yeah well my PSU is ok cause i just baught a new one and i hope i dont have a short.
Do you think that maybe the graphic card isnt compatable or something cause these things started happening when i changed my graphic card and this only happens while i'm playing games cause not even if i have loads of software running it still wont do it.
And does anyone know of software which i can use to check my RAM?
Thanks.

My computer won't turn on (display). I hear it "on" but nothing. I have removed battery...turned off and on. What could it be

my computer won't turn on. I have removed battery and turned off and on. I can hear the drive and fan. But the screen is blank.

I'd suggest making an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar - they would be able to diagnose it (free) and then you'd know if it's a hardware issue.

Portege R200 - Battery discharges when turned off

Hi purchased a Toshiba R200 in Australia about 2-3 months ago with the standard battery and the extended battery. My problem is that even when I turn the machine off the battery continues to discharge (i.e. it is not hibernating nor is it suspended). For example I left the computer off power for 4 days and did not touch it. When I came back and used it the main battery had dropped to 60% and the extended battery had also dropped to around 60% (both were full when I left). It looses about 10% per day. I've never experienced this before in the 5 dell/toshiba notebooks I've had before.
It can't be my usage of the batteries because I rarely use the machine away from its power adapter. At most the batteries have experienced maybe 10 full charge/discharge cycles since I've had it. Also if I do run on battery power I will get around 7-8 hours of battery with the main and extended battery (which is normal) so it doesn't seem like 'memory effect' from the battery.
I'm trying to disconnect the batteries from the computer for a few days to check if it is the battery or the computer, however I just wanted to find out if anyone has any ideas or experiences with this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Believe me it is normal. At my notebook happened the same thing. Over night there is deficit of 3 5% of battery capacity. Dont worry about it. Only what you can do is to do something about maximizing battery life.
For Nickel Metal Hydride batteries (NiMH) the battery will better hold a charge if allowed to discharge at least once a week. The chemical reactions that correspond to charge and discharge in a rechargeable battery should occur to obtain the maximum number of charge/discharge cycles in the battery.
It is not necessary to remove the battery from the computer during the week when it is on AC power.
Google a little bit around. You can find a lot of useful information about notebook-battery.
On this forum you can find similar discussions and many users have reported about this known issue. I just hope that you have charged the battery on the right way like described in users manuals.
Bye

Battery discharges when turned off

Hello!
Ever since I have updated my device software I experience the following problem.
Whenever I turn off my BlackBerry (8310) it appears to be turned off. However when I want to turn it back on (most often in the morning) it seems to be dead. When I plug it into the wall to recharge it, the battery symbol comes on. Obviously this means the battery was completely dead.
Can someone help me??
Thanks a lot!
Patrick.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That's strange. In some times, when there is high humidity level the battery discharges faster than usual. But anyway it is too fast.
Check this article:
http://www.blackberrynews.com/2008/05/20/battery-use-tips-for-your-maximum-battery-life/
And consider the battery replacement. That is not ok when battery discharges too fast with turned off device.

Is this becaiuse we are not unsing it right.
Do I take it back under warranty?

have you tried to create a profile then activate it this was a common fault with the nokia 6500 due to loose back cover and storing items on memo card but thisphone does not take a memo card
try taking out the battery for 5 mins then a factory reset,the code is 12345 then create and activate a profile.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
