NEW BATTERY, please help :(

Okay sooo I bought a battery for my Compaq Presario C700 and I read that you're supposed to FULLY charge it before you use it the first time. My question is, how do you know when it is fully charged?? the laptop is off and the light by the little lightning bolt is blue and the others are like light blue. are those gonna turn regular blue too or something? or is my laptop supposed to be on?
I'm so confused
If this is a stupid question, I'm sorry. It's my first time having a laptop (: 
But please help.

They usually come half charged when new, so it should be fully charged in 4 hours or so, if you can post your Full model number I can find your owners manual for you.
See this list of CT700 model numbers, there should be a sticker on the bottom of the laptop.

  • TouchSmart tx2-1370us HUGE issues with new battery PLEASE HELP I AM DESPERATE!!!!!

    I purchased a new battery for my laptop. I got a LHP-41XT which is supposed to last longer... the following issues I initially thought were because I got a defective battery but I replaced it for another one and they are still happening:
    Battery is fully charged. When power cord is disconnected after a random amount of time the computer just dies while the charge does not even get down to 80%. The computer does not even go into the shut down process, it just completely dies.
    When trying to turn on the computer with battery it starts to boot up and after a few seconds it completely shuts off. After that no matter how many times I press the bottom to turn it on it just wont even try to turn on. I have to turn it on with the cord. 
    To try to remediate the problem I have tried and failed the following:
     -  Get a new battery of the same model in case the problem was the battery
     -  Calibrate the battery using every single option there is (changing power profile to "Calibrate," letting the computer discharge completly without using it, letting the computer discharge completly using it, letting the computer discharge completly without using it in while in safe mode) but the computer just keeps on dying.
     -  Change all the power settings so the computer does not hibernate, go into shut down, or does anything when the power levels go down.
     -  Erase completely the battery drives so the computer does not try to detect the battery charge.
     -  Upgraded the computer bios to the latest version
     -  Replaced BIOS battery
    Please someone help me I do not know what else to do and I don't want to keep wasting money to try stuff that does not work...

    No I haven't and HP seems not to care about the problem so guess what. No more HP's for me anymore....

    hello. i forgot my restriction passcode. i havn't back up so i can restore. i want to reset my iPhone4 as new.. please help me.. please???

    The Restrictions passcode is part of the backup, so you would not want to restore from backup. To restore as new, just connect the phone to the computer and iTunes, and restore. If you cannot just click on restore, you may need to put the device into recovery mode. Search for infomation on that.

    You got ripped off. You bought a hacked/jailbroken phone. That's what error 1015 means. Return it and get your money back if possible and buy a phone from a legitimate source.
    Discussing jailbroken / hacked phones is forbidden by the terms of service. Jailbreaking / hacking voids any warranty and forfeits your right to support here or from Apple. You can not get help here.

  • Huge problem with battery: PLEASE HELP!

    Please when you read this try to help, responses are appreciated.
    I have an iPod radio/clock/charger combo and for a while it has been working to charge and play. Just recently, as I disconnected the iPod to take it with me I noticed that as soon as I turned it on and the menu popped up the battery instantly drained and said "No battery remains. Please connect to iPod power source." So, I left it alone for about and hour and a half and tried again. This time the menu popped up and I could shuffle the songs but as soon as I pushed the next button it drained and I recived the message again. When I got home, I connected it to my computer and let it charge all night and the next day. I have been trying everyday but it seems as soon as I push two buttons it drains the battery. I have looked up topics and I get things like turning off the EQ, blacklight, and when not in use holding the play button. I do all of these things and I don't leave it in heat or extreme cold. Some of the topics suggested purchasing a new battery but the consequense of losing all playlists and songs is alarming to me. My iPod is completly full and I DO NOT want to add the all back. Yes, I have them backed up. It WILL play and charge on the docking station and the cord to the computer.
    Is there any other ways out there for me to fix this problem?
    Should I download the 7.1 version of iTunes?
    Is it because I use Limewire in addition to iTunes?
    Please help me, I will be needing my iPod soon on my NYC trip.
    Thank you!

    Step One: Did you try doing a RESET on the iPod to see if that helps?
    When connected to a power source, are you able to use the iPod, navigate the menus, play tunes?
    In the meantime, you might try the diagnostics menu on the iPod (while plugged in of course). I forget what is in that menu, but you do a reset and as the iPod starts up with the Apple logo screen, push and hold the center and left (back) buttons at the same time. It should dump you into a diagnostic menu and you can either run automatically through the tests or manually pick which tests.
    If you get stuck in any menu or test, you can always dump out by holding down the center and menu buttons again to do another reset.

  • PROBLEM WITH NEW ROW  --- PLEASE HELP

    Hello,
    I've had it with the framework. It's been 20 hours and counting that I am trying to insert/validate a new record.
    Things just don't work as advertised.
    Here's the situation:
    I have an entity object with various validation rules in the validate() method.
    Then I have a simple JSP page to insert new records.
    At submit of button, I follow the framework's default
    create new row and fill it up, with the difference
    that i need to validate the row as soon as I fill it up
    with data from the http request:
    <jbo:OnEvent name="Create">
    <jbo:Row id="newrow" datasource="ds" action="CreateInRange" >
    <% try { %>
    <jbo:SetAttribute dataitem="*" />
    <%
    newrow.validate(); //******* NOTICE HERE THAT I VALIDATE
    } catch (JboException ex) {
    newrow.remove();
    throw ex;
    } %>
    </jbo:Row>
    </jbo:OnEvent>
    Unexpected behavior 1: If the validation fails,
    newrow DOES NOT GET REMOVED!!!! I know this
    since when I view data thru a data table component,
    the row is there WITH THE ERROR INFORMATION set!!.
    If I do a commit transaction, then the erroneous information ENDS UP IN THE DATABASE!!!!!
    Unexpected behavior 2: If I do a rollback, every
    call to subsequent pages results in a jsp error:
    java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.jbo.html.jsp.datatags.OnEventTag
    PLEASE HELP.
    Chris Lambrou

    I have (hopefully) found a solution to my part of this problem. I was getting the ClassCastExceptions on any page with a <jbo:row> tag after doing a failed DML action. I have tested this with the delete event. (btw, I am using jdev9.0.3.3 w/ BC4J/JSP) Before what I was doing was this:
    <% try { %>
    <jbo:Row id="delrow" datasource="ds" rowkeyparam="jboRowKey" action="Delete" />
    <% } catch (JboException jboEx) { %>
    do something
    <% } catch (Exception ex) { %>
    uh-oh, this is bad
    <% } %>
    If I removed the try/catch block everything worked fine. Unfortunatlely, I need to try/catch block here. To work around the problem I changed the code to this:
    <% Row rowDelete = ds.getRowFromKey(params.getParameter("jboRowKey")); %>
    <% try { %>
    <%
    rowDelete.remove();
    %>
    <% } catch (JboException jboEx) { %>
    do something
    <% } catch (Exception ex) { %>
    uh-oh, this is bad
    <% } %>
    The second bit of code does the same thing (but it doesn't use a bean like I think <jbo:Row> does) and it doesn't cause the ClassCastError on subsequent errors.
    I really hope this helps someone else because it took me forever to get a workaround!

  • Cant get it to replace or print to new line, please help

    2 problems. The instructions are to first replace each 's' with '$' and then print each word to a new line. Here is an example:
    Give me a phrase: Viva Las Vegas, babies!
    Viva
    La$
    Vega$,
    babie$.
    Here is my code that is not working:
    import java.util.*;
    public class StringEdit {
         private static Scanner input ;
         private static String makeMoney[] ;
         public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {
              System.out.print ("Give me a phrase: ") ;
              input = new Scanner (System.in) ;
              makeMoney = input.nextLine().split(" ") ;
              //makeMoney = makeMoney.replace("s", "$") ;
              int i = 0;
              while (i < makeMoney.length) ;{
              if (makeMoney.contains("s")){
                   System.out.println("Show me here");
                   makeMoney[i].replace("s", "$");
              if (makeMoney[i].contains("S")){
                   System.out.println("Show 2");
                   makeMoney[i].replace("S", "$");
              System.out.print(makeMoney[i].toString());
              i++ ;
    Please help me figure out what is wrong

    your first post was the one which you really wanted to use for the assignment in order to get the output you desire. anyways like jverd said that you cannot update string because they are immutable. you can always do this
    makeMoney[i] = makeMoney.replace(blah blah).
    here is your program
    import java.util.*;
    public class StringEdit {
         private static Scanner input ;
         private static String makeMoney[] ;
         public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {
              System.out.print ("Give me a phrase: ") ;
              input = new Scanner (System.in) ;
              makeMoney = input.nextLine().split(" ") ;
              //makeMoney = makeMoney.replace("s", "$") ;
              int i = 0;
              while (i < makeMoney.length) {
              if (makeMoney.contains("s")){
                   System.out.println("");
              makeMoney[i] =     makeMoney[i].replace("s", "$");
              if (makeMoney[i].contains("S")){
                   System.out.println("");
              makeMoney[i] =      makeMoney[i].replace("S", "$");
              System.out.print(makeMoney[i].toString());
              i++ ;
    output
    Give me a phrase: Viva Las Vegas

  • Changing ipod on to a new computer, PLEASE HELP!!

    Anyones advice would be brilliant, I want to change my ipod mini 6G over to a new computer. Have uninstalled everything from old computer, loading up original disk on new comp, but my ipod will not show up in itunes, no matter what i try!!. Have tried resetting, restoring, getting new itunes and ipod updater software and always get the "Firmware update failure.disk read error" message. After all this the exclamation and folder icon appeared. I have now uninstalled all software on both computers and loaded the original disk back up, but ipod is only being recognised on old comp!!!. Please help!!!!!!!!!. I dont even mind losing my music as i didnt have much anyway, just desperate to get ipod working on my new computer, as ive been trying to fix this since yesterday with hardly any sleep!!!.
    Many Thanks!
    TY

    Welcome to the discussion,
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Can't Create New File, PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Hello,
    I've been trying to read the previous forums on this topic and none of the advice has worked for me. I am running Photoshop 7.0 on Windows XP. It has been running fine for several years until this week.
    I ran the Spyder 2 Suite to calibrate my laptop and LCD monitor and now the problem has arisen. One of the software's requests was to disable Adobe Gamma so I deleter my Adobe Gamma Loader.exe file from the start up folder.
    As I went to create a new file in Photoshop, nothing would happen. The whole drop down menu for File was grayed out and I would have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get out of Photoshop. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, as well as uninstalled the Spyder software and still can't create a new file.
    I checked and my Adobe Gamma Loader is back in the startup folder.
    I also tried deleting my printer and took down my firewall like other posts have listed but those also did not work.
    Please help!!!! I need to get back to some work asap!
    Thanks,
    Ryan
