Thinks for your support.
Best regards.
Daniel

Sudden shutdown when working on battery mode, clock reset

Hi
i am running windows 7 32 bit on an HP dv6970ej (dv6000) and my problem is sudden power failures when working on battery.
my first battery was worn out a few months ago and so I replaced it (with an HP original). it worked fine for a while but lately when I am working on battery mode the system shuts down with no warning.
the thing is that when I plug it back to the AC the battery is almost full - 85%-90% charged.
also - the last few times the power went down the clock was reset. i replaced the BIOS little battery but that didn't seem to make much difference.
i also tried to update the BIOS, didn't change anything.
the main issue of course is the system shutting down unexpectedly, while the battery is obviously still holding charge.
any suggestions?

the clock reset is just a side effect of the main issue - system power failure. as long as there are no sudden shutdowns the clock is saved. plus i guess i am not gonna replace the whole motherboard so that's why i am less concerned about that.
what really bugs me is not having the ability to disconnect the computer from the AC for more that a few minutes. sometimes it shuts down after two minutes, sometimes after 10-15 min.
i am thinking- maybe it has anything to do with voltage drops or something like that or incorrect reading of the battery, because as i said - when i plug it back in - in indicates 80%-90% charge level.
I also ran a diagnostic on the battery's wear level. the old battery was definitely worn out, but the current one seems to be OK on that aspect.

Lenovo X201 external monitor resolution issue

Hi,
I'm having issues connecting my Lenovo X201 through the docking station -> display port -> Dell 3011. The native resolution for the monitor is 2560x1600. However, I currently can only set the resolution to 1920x1080 (ugly!) as any high resolution results in the monitor entering power save mode.
I'm using xrandr to set the video mode in my .xinitrc (running dwm). This creates a good Xinerama config for dwm.
I'm currently using the line
xrandr --output DP1 --mode 1920x1080 --above LVDS1
to set my resolution. When I change to --auto or --mode 2560x1600, or 1920x1200 etc I get the blank screen on the external monitor. I'm using the xf86-video-intel-sna driver package (I tried the -uxa as well to no avail).
Any hints?

I was able to get it by having arandr help generate the config, here's the solution that worked for me:
xrandr --output HDMI1 --off --output LVDS1 --auto --right-of DP1 --output DP1 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --auto --output VGA1 --off

Ipad won't respond to forced shutdown...spinning between battery icon and apple icon and flashing home screen

ipad wont respond to forced shutdown...spins between battery icon and apple icon and short flashes of the home screen

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Lenovo X201, Xorg, modesetting problem

This is a new model Lenovo X201 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X201Type 3626 (Core i5).
Did a fresh installation from 2010.05-core-i686 CD with x86_64. I had the dreaded "dark screen" problem caused by kernel mode setting switching off the backlight! I can boot only with the 'nomodeset' kernel boot parameter.
The problem persists after 'pacman -Syu' 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMT Sat Jun 19 00:07:49 CEST 2010 x86_64. As a result I can't startx, the log says - using xf86-video-intel driver, no xorg.conf:
(II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
(--) using VT number 7
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00@00:02:0
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa
(EE) intel(0): no kernel modesetting driver detected
(II) UnloadModule: "intel"
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Obviously, I have to boot without the 'nomodeset' parameter.
How should I progress? Compiling a more recent kernel? Which version? What configuration parameters are needed?

I have an X61T, and I had a dark screen problem for the longest time. I had to guess at when the login prompt showed up and enter my username and password 'blind'. The monitor turned off halfway through the boot sequence and turned on again after I started X. Trying to turn KMS off gave the same kind of error that you got about usable configurations. Perhaps we had the same problem? If not, maybe this will help somebody else with a dysfunctional screen.
I fixed it by leaving vga=xxx out of the kernel line of my menu.lst and keeping KMS on (I think it's on by default in the default arch linux kernel). Yes, I compiled my own kernel with i915 and intel_agp, but that didn't fix the problem for me. Here's the relevant line:
kernel /vmlinuz26-x61t root=/dev/sda5 ro

E72 Auto Shutdown when I am in Online Mode

Hello,
My problem is described in the title : when I switch to the online mode, my mobile shutdown immediatly.
I tried to do a soft reset, then a hard reset, and the I update the firmware whih the last version.
I also tried to use my mobile with the sim card inserted, but in offline mode : It works good.
It works very good, with any shutdown (wifi, gps, video : no problem).
I live in France, and my operator is SFR.
I read somewhere that the problem is caused by the "dual mode".
So I inserted my sim card, switched-on my mobile in offline mode, then I went to the connetion panel, swithed to an online moden and quickly, I changed the connection by GSM.
Result :
It worked during one entire day in online mode, but now, it is the same problem ... :/
(works very well in offline mode, and shutdown when I am in connected mode).
I was thinking that it is SFR who shutdown my mobile (or lock) my phone (remote phone locking?), because SFR thinks that my mobile is a stolen mobile.
Indeed, when I'm going to my online account (SFR), I have the information about the current used mobile, and this is my old mobile which is displayed (especially when my Nokia phone was working good).
Maybe any of you already had this problem ?
And maybe I have to ask SFR about this matter ?
Two words about the story of my E72 :
I had a problem with my E72, in december, so I tried to repair it and then, I forgot him.
But last week, I tried to change the battery and surprise : it worked!
But I forgot the lock code, so I locked my phone .. Then I went to a official Nokia center, and they unlock my E72.
Maybe since this moment SFR doesn't recognize my E72 as mine ?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
And I am very sorry about my very bad english.
Thank you,
Romain.

Pavilion zd7000 starts in battery mode only; runs on AC only when connected to printer by USB port

My Pavilion zd 7379ea will only start up in battery mode. AC adapter appears OK with a firm green LED, so external power supply may not be the issue here? When I'm starting up (with what's left on the battery), both the charging LED and the AC LED are constantly blinking. When turned off, the battery LED is firm, and battery appears to be charging (but which obviously is not the case). Occasionally, when computer is turned off, the AC LED is lit with a firm light.
One odd thing I noted before this happened was that the computer ran on AC only when my HP printer was connected to one of the USB ports (no battery inserted). If I disconnected the printer USB cord, the computer just died immediately; it was like the computer was powered by the printer. Later I also discovered that the same cord (where it connected to the printer) had melted from extreme overheating. I tried to update the USB drivers for each port but it didn't change things. I also tried to connect a different printer to get the computer started but it didn't work this time. I'd be extremely grateful for any comments that may solve this power supply issue (and if possible explain the stuff with the printer connection).

You unplugged a USB device while the notebook was still booted into Windows and on?
Normally that won't cause any issues but , If you did that you may have damaged your system board's Southport chip.
USB is not a plug n' play port like SATA and eSATA are.
Here is a link to the maintenence manual for your laptop series.
Is your notebook still within warranty? By the processor components listed in the manual,I believe it is probably not.

Can't Access Oracle EBS with a Lenovo X201 laptop

My Company runs Oracle E-Business Suite version 11.5.10.2. I recently had to get a new laptop (Lenovo X201). I can log onto the Oracle Application Home Page and select a responsibility, but when I select an operation, like Invoice Inquiry in the Payables Module for instance, I get the following message, "This tab has been recovered. A problem with this web page has caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab." The laptop is running the XP operating system and Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702. Our IT staff can't figure out the problem. They looked at all the usual cause for problems, like pop-up blockers, etc. They also spoke to Lenovo Support without finding a resolution. We experienced a similar problem with Dell laptops that they were able to resolve. Has anyone experienced this problem with a recent-vintage Lenovo computer and found a solution?

Can you find any details about the error in Apache log files and/or Sun JRE Console Window?
If the issue is reproducible, please make sure you meet the minimum requirements as per these docs.

Lenovo X201 Series Tablet/Laptop

Hi I recently bought a Lenovo X201 Series Laptop but the screen is cracked it has a touchscreen interface I would like to know can I replace the touchscreen with a 12.1inch LED or LCD Screen as I dont want to spend to much on a touch screen details of laptop is below
Product ID: 2985DMG
Specs:
Corei7 CPU,500GB Hard Drive 4GB Ram 12.1inch Touch screen.

Hi,
there is a lot matrices are installed into x201t. Models also depend of the backlight type - LED or CCFL. I'm not sure whether any supported matrices models are compatible with your laptop. Also there are different LCD cable assembly and LCD rear cover assembly depending of the backlight type.
To ensure what matrice you have and what's compatible check out on Lenovo' site parts list of your laptop by its [laptop] serial number. Support site doesn't answer a question by MTM only.
I think it's impossible to fit non touch matrice into the tablet because of the different size (width). Compare the width of x201 and x201t.
UPD
Service parts DB says your laptop has 12.1-in. WXGA LCD panel, LED backlight (300-nit LCD), FRU 45N6092 or 45N5388.

Smartphones - Low Battery Mode?

Just woken up this morning, and my battery's only on 2 bars... which isn't a problem in itself, but it made me think of an idea lol
Wouldn't it be good if the phone could have an option to automatically switch to a 'Low Battery Mode' which would shut down all the fancy, battery intensive settings - bluetooth, fancy wallpapers & screensavers, active desktop, camera (or the camera switching on if the slide opens - the user must go to camera in the menu to activate
I'm sure there's a lot more that could be done with that, but I thought I'd throw it open for discussion here and see what people think... I'm sure it would be a valuable tool for people that just want their phone to last longer until they can get home to charge it.
Obviously if Nokia decide to use my idea after seeing this post, I'd love to take the credit for it :-p

T61 crash on switching to battery mode with win7

Hi,
I bought a Thinkpad T61 - 7661-CH8 notebook that crashes on switching to battery mode when I remove the power cord. This occures on Windows 7 pro 32 and 64bit, too. After a clean install, I use windows update and systemupdate40-2009-10-19 for installing drivers. The bios is the lastest 2.27-1.08.
The screen flickering the same way as on resolution change. Maybe it tries to change display mode and turns Aero on and off. After some display mode changes it freezes. No BSOD, but everything is frozen, no activity (only backlight turs on and off, if I close the display).
I found on every crash the same thing in the event log:
critical, kernel-power 41 (63)
The only change is from the original state that the system has 2x2GB ram and 320GB HDD, but under Windows Xp everithing is fine ( I used the recovery disks to try out the original xp system). The ram and the HDD is fine.
Is there a preferred x3100/gm965 videocard driver that works fine with windows 7? I think the video driver is responsible for the problems.

It seems that I have a solution. I have to install this driver:

Having trouble with the trackpad on my Lenovo X201

I'm trying ot get Arch set up on my new Lenovo X201 thinkpad and I've got as far as getting X up and running. However, I'm having some problems with the trackpad.
First of all the mouse pointer is a little crazy, leaps all over the screen and is very difficult to control - any ideas on how to improve on that? Also, I've tried following various wiki examples of how to get things working (in particular using the right side of the pad for vertical scrolling) and I'm not having much luck there...
Any advice?

Never mind - it turns out that just installing synaptics fixed everything :-)

Graphic driver doesn't respond when running Firefox 4 RC1 and battery mode.

I unplugged AC adaptor from my laptop and started Firefox 4 RC1. Screen was freezed for some time and Windows restarted graphic driver every 2-4min. It was happened on random page (facebook, twitter, some news pages).
Windows 7 32-bit, ATI Mobility Radeon HD2400 (driver: 11.2 (02/15/2011)), Firefox 4 RC1 (clean installation).
It doesn't happened with Firefox 3.6 or with AC adaptor plugged in.
How to fix it?

Just some general comment
Is your battery getting flat ? or have you changed any of the powersaving etc options. Some laptops will make changes when in battery mode and even slow down the CPU etc.
Are you using different settings on firefox 3.6 and 4 ?
* What about your FlashPlayer settings especially the hardware acceleration.
* And what version of flash payer is in use on each computer <br /> check using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html that tests using the version installed in the current browser
Presumably you have problems only on sites where you are using FlashPlayer, so it may be worth looking at [[Flash-based videos and sound do not play correctly]]. I have noticed whenever new versions of FlashPlayer are released some users will find problems, sometimes the video card drivers need updating.

Negative amperage means battery is being used. Electricity is flowing out of the battery.

97% is not bad at all.
If you want you can take the MBP to the Apple store for checking.

MBP shuts down suddenly when running in battery mode

Hi
I am from Zaragoza (Spain) and lately (about 2 months ago as I can remember) my mbp shuts down when running in battery mode and without any advice. I see some of you also have this problem.
I thought it was me not seeing the low battery indicator but last week I realized the battery was above 40%!!
This problem has been repeating and the battery level was between 40% and 60% when my computer shut down.
What am I supposed to do? My MBP is still in warranty and I bought it in the online apple store.
Thanks for the help.
