Pavilion TX2000: Shuts down when plugged in, runs perfect on batter. Any help?

It's been a pain, but I basically revived a dead Pavilion TX2110us (replaced the motherboard, installed windows 7, recovered missing drivers, ect.) and it's been running great when powered by the battery. Big downside to that is the battery life isn't great. Typically about maybe 2 hours on battery saver settings. However when I have it plugged in to the power source, I'll get anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes before it just powers off on its own. I have tried to configure the power settings and it has seemed to help somewhat, but the problem for the most part still exists. Does anyone know how I can fix this permanently? I would really like to be able to get the maximum performance out of it while plugged in without the worry of everything powering down every so often.

HI Aframie,
Please provide your complete product number only. Instructions on finding your product number can be found here.
I also need the your operating system and whether it is 32 bit or 64 bit. Is this the factory installed operating system or have you upgraded your operating system?

    My mac shuts down as soon as it fires up. Any help?

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

  • Macbook shuts down when plugged

    I have my macbook for 2 years, and last month it started to behave in a weird way.
    First when I let the battery drain out it shuts down when the battery reaches around 2-3%, it doesn't go into deep sleep. I've checked the battery capacity and it's around 2852mAh, and the check battery sign just started to pop. I'll probably have to buy a new battery. (That doesn't bother me much, because I use it mainly plugged on power.)
    But last week it has gotten worse, now my macbook started to shut down when it's plugged. It takes a minute so I can reboot it (not even the battery indicator works for a while), and the charger stops working right after it's off. I'm using a new 85w charger (the old one got ripped off), because they don't sell the 65w here in Brazil. Needless to say I've tried do reset the SMC, PRAM, NVRAM.
    Ps: On january I upgraded my RAM with some used module I got from buddy of mine.
    Pps: You should know that there's no apple store in Brazil. Don't tell me to ask the genius :P

    I took my macbook to a apple technical support provider, and they're replacing my charger. I wonder if the faulty charger could have damaged my battery, the check battery sign first appeared after the shutdowns caused by the charger.

  • My system shuts down when i ask it to sleep.. Help??!!

    I have The operating system Windows 8.1. When i close the laptop or ask it to sleep it closes without a problem. On restart all the programs i had open are closed and it reboots as if i shut the laptop down rather than asked it to sleep.
    I'm doing my dissertation at the minute and I have many tabs open, it just adds to my frustration when i have to re-open all the tabs and wait 2-5 minutes for the system to boot?
    Is there anything I can do?
    Knowhow at pc world said there is nothing i can do, its just an operating system fault?
    HELP!!??

    Hi,
    How do you wake up your computer, pressing FN? How long it takes to wake up from sleep?
    I suspect that your computer unexpected shut down when you put it into Sleep.
    Please run SFC /scan command to check if there is any error or corrupted files which may cause the issue.
    Would you please also check if there is any minidump created after sleep?
    To ensure minidumps are enabled, refer to the step “Configure the dump type” in following article:
    How to read the small memory dump file that is created by Windows if a crash occurs

    If there it is, please help to upload it here for our research.

  • T400 Shuts down when plugging in monitor with VGA

    My T400 shuts down instantly when I plug I my monitor (Dell WA2209). If I shut down the computer, and then try starting the computer with the monitor plugged in, the computer shuts down almost instantly after I press the power button.  In each case, I have to unplug the computer, and remove the battery, before I can try turning the computer on again.  I have installed the latest power manager, video drivers and bios. On the odd occasion, I am able to plug in my monitor without the computer shutting down.  This happens when using integrated and discrete graphics.  It worked for almost a year just fine, and just recently started doing this.  Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Windows Explorer shuts down when trying to run Quicktimes

    We are using Quicktime 6 Player on PCs running Windows 2000 Professional. Whenever you try to run a Quicktime movie from the Explorer browser, it shuts down along with Quicktime!!!
    In addition, we cannot copy or move Quicktimes from one folder or drive to another without both software packages shutting down. The Quicktime movies are varied and are themselves not bad files. The only way I have found that allows me to run, copy or move Quicktimes is to work within Start/Run/Browse and doing a bunch or Right Clicking!!!
    We are all up to date in regards to Windows Updates, so I am at a total loss as figuring out what the fix is. Any ideas? gsarahs

    Naveen,
    The reports where developed in the current version. 
    There isn't any other version installed on the machine.
    I only have Crystal Reports Developer XI installed on 1 machine in the office.  The reports are loaded in the Business Objects Management Console and available for other office staff to run from the Business Objects Viewer.  The reports run OK from the viewer.
    I have tried un-installing Crystal Reports Developer XI and re-installing it already - the problem still occurred.
    There are a number of faulty reports, some query 1 database others only 1 database, some have SQL tables others do not, most of them have subreports, formula fields, parameter fields, and group name fields, 1 also has a running total field.
    Most of the reports I have created are similar but have different selections.
    Thanks for your help, hope we can find a solution.

  • Ipod shuts down when plugged in to one port does nothing on any other

    Ok here we go. I have a Ipod 5th gen 80gb. My computer is home built but the usb ports well with every other device. I'm using windows vista with SP1 installed and a dual boot of linux. Everything was great with my ipod untill just recently when there was a short in my usb cable. I went out and bought a new cable, now the ipod says "No battery power remains please plug in cable" when I plug it in to the front USB ports on my computer. It will do nothing when plugged in to any other port. It will do this no matter if I'm in disk mode, diagnostic mode or regular mode on my ipod. but this is only on the front USB ports on my desktop I've tried them on my HP dv6000 laptop, and every other port on my desktop but on any of those ports the ipod does nothing no charge signal, no response on the computer nothing at all. I'm at a loss for words with this, scoured the internet looking for info to no avail.

    Do you have a wall power plug for your ipod? It sounds like it has run dead enough to where the usb ports arent giving the amount of power it needs to charge.

  • Crystal Reports Developer XI shuts down when trying to run a report

    I have been using Crystal Reports in my office since 2005 without any problems.
    However, recently when previewing reports in the Developer edition of Crystal Reports XI I have experienced a problem. After logging onto the databases and selecting the parameters, instead of displaying the report the application closes. This only occurs on a few of my reports, I have not made any changes to these reports and up until now they have been working without error.
    The only change to the operating environment has been a recent upgrade to Windows XP.
    Any suggestions for a fix?

  • TS1717 itunes shuts down when printing a playlist

    my itunes always shuts down when printing a custom playlist.  Can anyone help me with this?

    Friends:  Here's the answer to at least my problem of having iTunes crash most of the way through Step 3 of the iTunes Match process:  There were Voice Memo files mixed in with the music files.  Although both are listed as *.m4a files, the match system hiccupped when encountering them.
    Solution:  Use the "Info" button to find out where the possibly offending files are located.  Go to that location and move them someplace else. 
    Once the offending files are gone the entire process works like a charm.
    Now why couldn't Apple have told us that little "secret" instead of having us *customers* thrashing around in the dark?
    Hopefully this will help someone else out there.
