New battery for laptop,worked, recharged it, then it died. Shows 100% charged still

Compaq Presario CQ61
Model: CQ61-405S0
Win7 64bit
No error messages.
Problem:
Computer worked fine with last battery, then the battery capacity went bananas and on boot it strongly recommended to replace the old battery with an new one, so I did. Clicked the new one in, it showed 20% charged, then shut down computer and plugged in power cord to charge it for at least 12 hours like the manual what came with the battery said should be done on first use. Now it won't reboot without power cord and other than windows powermanager saying it's 100% full, battery seems to be completely dead.
Googled it for about 5 hours, tried most reasonable things, like unistalling the drivers for battery in Device Manager, held down the power button for an minut if not more, pluged the battery in and out etc. Several times, with different orders. Still the same. When computer works and I plug the powercord out, it's Instantly powering off.

I think you may have a broken power jack where the power adaptor plugs into the notebook. There are two mechanisms in the jack and circuitry. One for notebook power and one for charging the battery. Part of the jack could be damaged or part of the circuitry. Try the old battery again and see if it acts different.

Can I change a new battery for my MacBook Pro 15' Retina? How?

Can I change a new battery for my MacBook Pro 15' Retina? How?

Hi!
About a month ago, my MBPr 15", mid 2012 (Model Identifier10,1) showed, at first, Battery Service warning and on the next day X over the battery icon with Battery Not Available message in the status. MBP would run only and while the charger was plugged in, plug led would be always green, when connected. Battery test third party sw would not detect the battery, any longer.
Replacing upper case with battery/keyboard/trackpad, as per Apple, in my country was too expensive, over 1000 USD, did't make any sense to me, so I've chosen DIY option (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLhHSIej9fs) with all necessary precautions like tools, ESD protection grounded pad in place and ordered "new" replacement battery from Hong Kong on Ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/400699766989?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STR K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT).
Yesterday I came in new packing/sealed, I installed it, plugged the power cable on, plug led would turn green and then orange, I thought it's ok, but once system booted, I saw again X over battery icon and "Battery Not Available". I checked all the hints on internet, tried several times SMC and EPRON resets, no success. I filed complaint to Ebay supplier, he replied that battery undergone test prior the shipment, but ready for return and refund.
So, I can make another try and buy the battery from Ebay but what if the problem is with my logic board? From one hand charger plug led lights orange when connected to MBP, on another hand System doesn't see the battery at all: No battery in the System info/Hardware/Power. it works absolutely fine when plugged-in to charger. I ran extended AHT (over pressed "D" key while powering on) twice with No Problem in return. So, my question is does it ultimately mean that Logic Board and power circuits are all fine and the whole thing is about "new bad" battery? I there any way to entirely test Logic board and narrow down problem origin?
Thank you for attention in advance,
Nurlan

9800 new battery doesn't work

hello
I bought a new battery for my torch, cause the old one draines very quickly. so the new battery doesn't work, it has an X and the OS doesn't load. I've reinstaled 3 times the OS so it's not this problem. also I've charged the battery 1 day, with blackberry original charger.
I've tried every step I found on forums but with nou luck
any help please..
the battery it's new, it's the same as the original one, I don't know if it's original 100% but it's the same as the one I had before.

I have been having the exact same problem. I replaced my battery and it still drains really quickly; 3 hours after a full charge and no use and the battery's drained.
I would also appreciate any advice.....
Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
If the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you should investigate more harsh remedies...WIPE, OS Reload, OS Update, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, "Bare Bones" diagnostic reload process, etc.
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

New battery for Black Macbook A1181

A buddy of mine needs a new battery for his Black 13" Macbook. The model is A1181.
There are some Anker batteries on Amazon.com for $62.99 with free shipping which seems like a great price. The only problem is they don't ship to Canada... So I obviously cannot buy one.
The Apple replacement batteries have terrible reviews and are outrageously price so forget that.
What options do I have? OWC? Any recommendations?

And for the cost of a new battery, you could likely get the logic board checked and the defective solder joint fixed.
Good battery story. In an as-new iBook G4 bought online from Apple Store, I returned new batteries under the/then battery replacement program. Mine had no sign of failure or defect. The two new replacements were cycled in use so they were about equal in use.
These are like produce and do not store well if not exercised. Anyway, these replacements failed to retain a useable portion of their battery life cycles in as little as 55, each; no matter the various well-known hoops a user can push their portable and its batteries through.
So, I'm looking at a battery from OWC because there are few other sources as the hardware goes antique on me. And am looking at a SSD for that last-model iBook 12" but doubt the upgrade is worth it. And also have a MacBook 13" coreduo, G4 mini, & others.
{the portable was bought to use while endless repair attempts were made on an iMac under warranty failed to bring it up to servicability and I'd already donated away a nice working Mac on arrival of my first Apple under AppleCare. Sadly, no authorized service in my state at the time existed that could fix it. It's dead, too}
Anyway, you get what you paid for, depending on what you pay for in addition to what you get. Express shipping got the warranty papers in a box the next day, but they forgot to ship the computer, it took a month from Apple since it was sent eventually by slow ground via Canada. The route that broke earlier new Macs.
So the OWC battery looks fairly good, at a distance.
Never did any business with them so far.
Good luck & happy computing!

New battery for MBP wont fully charge

I have a new battery for my mid 2011 macbook pro 13". I installed it and since then i have had some problems.
first i installed the battery, it came with 67%, i let the MBP go all the way to the red and shut itself off, thinking this was the best way to calibrate it.
I plugged the mag safe charger in and let the computer charge
come back to it the next day and its at 0%, click on the battery icon and it says battery isnt charging (clearly is)
restart computer and it starts showing the charge, HOWEVER when i click on the battery icon it sill says not charging, but my light on charger is green, my battery icon has the charge look...
I have seen other threads where they recommend a SMC, i done one and it made my monitor go from the wallpaper to a white screen, i let it play out for 2 minutes before restarting it and it was normal....what does that mean?
im in desperate need of some help and piece of mind i didn't just spend top $$$ on a bum battery, and FYI im 2 hours from a apple store so i try to do all my mac work myself, or with this assistance of youtube.
Thanks

It says replace now, but I just bought the battery yesterday.

How can i buy new battery for my macBook pro in France

Hello,
Please, someone can tell me how to find and buy new battery for my 2008 macBook pro in France ?
This one is very old, i already changed this battery one time, i think Apple store of town won't be ok to make the work cause i have made it myself one time before (it has fallen several times, almost broken, means impossible to shut the battery place but still working on). So i bought a battery to a third provider, wich doesn't work of course, try to ask to online assistance but i have to pay 30 € just to ask my question and i doesn't want...
SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO CHANGE MY BATTERY ??? HELP !!!
I bought it in 2008. I don't know exactly the serie. Just know it's a 2,4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo.
The reference of battery is A1281 10,8V 50 Wh. Can't find it on the store. The only one i found was on a website who didn't tell it's was a fake...
Lost 85 €

Here are the International Apple support telephone numbers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/he57
I note Egypt is not listed.
Purchasing a battery from a third party vendor is a high risk proposition. Many such batteries have been found to be substandard.
I suggest that you try and contact Apple and see if you can have one shipped to you.
Ciao.

I live in Ireland. How can I buy a new battery for my N500?

I need to buy a new battery for my Lenovo 3000 N500. However, in the Ireland section of the Lenovo web site NONE of the dealers have this part in stock. It is in stock on the US and UK sections of the web site, but apparently only people in those countries can buy it on line. I would be prepared to buy it online from the US or the UK and pay the shipping charges to Ireland. In more than 13 years on the web, Lenovo is the first company I've encountered where I haven't been able to use my credit card to purchase an item from the US or the UK. I do this all the time with companies like Land's End, Amazon, James Meade etc etc.
Fine, if I'm not allowed buy from the US and the UK. But at least,then, make sure I have some other way of buying the part - either on line or from a store.

According to Apple:
iPod Owners
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $49 (iPod shuffle), $59 (iPod nano and iPod classic), and $79 (iPod touch) plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

Where can I buy a new battery for my macbook

Where can I buy a new battery for my macbook

Depending on the build year model configuration
(reference serial number lookup online) you may
have a MacBook w/ built-in battery, or maybe not.
If yours does not have a user-accessible battery
you may want to look into iFixit.com guides to see
what they suggest for your specific MacBook.
And then consider if you are up to the DIY steps
with ability to do the complete service yourself,
or if not, then contact a qualified certified service
center to inquire their estimate for part + labor.
However if your computer does have an easily
replaced battery with external access where
you are essentially looking at the battery, that
is just a matter of identifying the correct Mac
to get a matching part from reputable reseller.
You could probably get a replacement battery
from Apple, if the computer isn't really old...
Or you could look online at places such as
OWC where they offer a few batteries. Just
be sure to avoid the low-end no-name clones
from auction sites or cheap copy imports.
Good luck & happy computing!

I use photoshop cs6 extended and when I create a new shortcut, it will work once and then disappear..any help on why this would happen

Sorry, no further idea what can cause this.
Is the shortcuts file truely saved to disk? You can find in the user path, where the preferences and presets are stored for PS. Or if you go to the dialog again where you change shortcuts, is it reverted there too?

HT1660 i can't find my itunes, I had to add a new battery on laptop and now itunes is gone

I can't find my I-Tunes, I put in a new battery on laptop and now I-tunes is gone, I tried looking for .itl files and
it keeps bringing adobe up and says there are now files, i have over 2000 songs... where did they go?

Sounds like more than just the battery was changed.
What really happened? We're not mind readers. If help is desired all details must be provided.

I needed to buy a new battery for my Apple Remote

I thought that it might be helpful for other users to know that if their brand new Apple Remote is not working, it may be because the CR2032 battery is old. In my case, I had to think why was my new Apple Remote not working:
1) the battery was old
2) the Remote was broken
3) the computer sensor was broken
I am glad that after spending $4.49 cents at the local Ace that as soon as I hit menu, the Apple Remote screen came up on my Mac.

New battery for Treo650

Suspect that my original battery has died. AT&T store sells me one they say is compatible but it only says compatible with 680 & 750. It's much thinner. And when I insert it, the Treo 650 seems to accept it (flashes that the battery is low, wants to auto shut down) but then doesn't show ANY charging light (red or green) as though they isn't any contact.
Is there any official Treo 650 battery, or is this the recommended substitute, and has anyone gotten it to work?
Thank-you, thank-you.
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Cingular)

A Treo 680/750 battery is typically not compatible.
Click on the following link to the Palm website for batteries. Check the battery specs. for the 650/700 and the 680/750. The battery is thicker for the 650 and it states on the webpage that the 680/750 battery is not compatible.

Hi....
Try restarting your Mac ...
"Keep in mind that once the new battery is inserted, you will need to press the power button to start up the computer."
From here > MacBook Pro: How to remove or install the battery
If it restarts ok the battery icon should be available from the status menu bar.
