T60, Battery Dead, is it OK to use?

I think, my laptop battery is dead. The message says: Irreparable damage to the battery has been detected. Replace the battery with a new one.
As I usually use it at home, I don't mind using it with power connected to it. But, is possible to use my laptop with dead battery? Is it safe?
Please recommend. Thanks.

you can leave the battery in the laptop it does not cause any safety issues. Also whether a battery inserted, your laptop would run at 100% cpu load when needed.

Battery dead within 10 days of use. Lenovo G580 Laptop

Recently I bought a new Lenovo G580 Laptop in the Emirates and after using it for 10 days, the battery got dead. I never used the laptop while it was on the charging mode and took complete care as it is brand new. Also used to charge it once in a couple of days. It is a disappointed since its a brand new machine. Anyone also facing this problem?

@manay,
Try removing the AC and battery then hold power button for 3 seconds, repeat this 3 times then put the AC and battery back and see if it helps.
Also try leaving the AC on and charge the laptop for the night. If problem persist then contact support to get the hardware checked.

I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

Is my MacBook battery dead or is there something else going on?

Hi
My macbook has an "x" on the battery symbol and says "no battery available" on it. I have tried all suggestions I have found, like, replace battery, reset power management, reset PRAM and still have the "x". It wont even turn on now with the battery inserted and at teh moment I can only use it when battery is taken out and Im plugged into power using Magsafe adaptor. Laptop is about 2.5 years old. I did only notice this hapening after I installed SL but I dont know if that has anything to do with it. Is my battery dead and if so if I buy new battery will that fix it or could it be soimething else. I did check battery cycle count a few days ago and all was grand but I cant check it now as when I insert battery laptop turns off!
Any help is greatly appreciated. THanks

Do a reset of the SMC:

Try carefully cleaning the contact points on both the battery and the MacBook with a little bit of rubbing alcohol.
If neither of those do the trick, your battery is likely toast. If you are under the 3-year AppleCare, you can try calling and they may offer you a free replacement. If you get a replacement and the same thing happens--your MacBook shuts down with the battery in it or can't see a battery--then you have a much more serious hardware problem.

Lost iphone 4s at home battery dead. Is there a way to locate

lost iphone 4s at home battery dead. Is there a way to locate?

Yes, the old fashion way LOOK for it.
You can't use find my iphone on a dead phone.

4s will not charge until battery dead. Tried reset and powering off.

Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.

T60 - Battery/Pwr and Enter Standby Function Keys stopped working.

T60 - Battery/Pwr (Fn+F3) and Enter Standby (Fn+F4) Function Keys have stopped working.
This laptop, T60 200749U , had these function keys working when it ran XP PRO.
Since upgrading to Win 7 Pro both keys have stopped. Anyone have the solution?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

PROBLEM SOLVED! Another person with same problem on a T61 ended with a fix that worked on my T60.
His name is seiscons and the answer is to use an older PwrMgt file for a different Lenove Laptop...
Use SL series > SL500 > 6.66.1
I can now use the FN+F3 or FN+F4 functions plus the battery icon is back on the Task Bar.

Usual battery life on 160gb classic when using iTrip/dock connector mainly!

Hi folks,new to the iPOD scene! I mainly use my ipod in the car with an iTrip(no charger connected) and connected to my hifi(Stereo)with the apple dock (without the charger on so far) Just wondering if I use my ipod in this fashion should battery life be lower? Would appreciate if anyone could indicate what average life of battery should be overall. my typical use of ipod is to and from work (one hours use total per day and maybe an hour in the evening on the hifi. I assume time as well as actual use also contributes to the battery losing charge eventually(as a cell phone does)? any info on this would be appreciated...thanks

The iPod Classic 160GB is certainly not friendly with the Bose SoundDock.

I haven't seen my particular problem on any other forums yet. But this seems a bit extreme, causing such a complete meltdown on a brand new iPod.
I plugged it into my PowerBook around 3:30pm and I could hear clicks coming from the hard drive for the very first time... I am not sure whether or not to be excited because the screen is still dead black (not digital black). So this still isn't resolved, but I can give advice to new iPod Classic owners:
_NEVER CHARGE YOUR NEW iPOD CLASSIC ON THE BOSE SOUNDDOCK!_

Battery dead on ipod nano (2nd generation) What do I do?

Dead battert on my ipod nano (2nd generation) What do I do? Should I get it replaced or just buy a new one?

You have 1 of three routes if you want to get it replaced. Whether or not it is worth it is entirely up to you.
1) Have Apple replace the battery in it for a flat fee. See this page for pricinghttp://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/ and this page for setting up the service request. http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
2) Locate and utiltize a third party service (there may even be some shops/service centers in your area). I have no suggestions as to which one is better than another, so for now you'll have to Google for "iPod battery replacement" and you should get a number of results. This is slightly cheaper than the Apple route although a bit riskier in terms of having the job done right.
3) If you consider yourself handy with small electronics you can purchase a new battery from an online retailer and use one of the numerous guides online to swap it out yourself. I usually stick with http://www.ifixit.com for parts and step-by-step guides. Of course this route is the cheapest, but is the most difficult.

Closed my charged MBP, opened later - battery dead...

I opened my sleeping MacBook Pro 2.0GHz last night and used it for a few minutes. I noticed the battery was mostly charged. (Not plugged into AC at the time.) I closed the screen and walked away.
The next morning (12 hours later) I opened the unit and it did not come on. I looked at the bottom and saw one flashing light for the battery meter. I gave it AC and tapped the power button and it restored from disk-saved sleep state and was back.
The battery fully drained itself thru the night. The bright white flashing sleep LED was lit when I saw the closed unit later last night.
This has happened once before.
- Did the unit wake and run down the battery?
- Was the LCD screen lit, while closed, until it died?
Anyone seen this behavior?

I've had this happen to me a few times too.
Very annoying, because it makes me lose confidence that I can just shut the lid and come back to the computer later and continue my work.
This is almost Windows like (Windows notebooks have a notorious problem with sleep and waking properly without crashing) !!
I don't remember this problem with my Powerbook - the reliability of the sleep was one of the truly satisfying user experiences, never having to reboot OSX and having an instant on internet experience at home.
I'm wondering if it might be related to the hibernation feature that is implemented in the MacBook - you might have noticed that it takes 20-30 sec for the hard drive and fans to stop after closing the lid as an image of the memory is stored on the hard disk (for just in case the power runs out or the battery is taken out).
I don't like hibernation, because like most people after I close the lid of the computer I want to put it away and this 30 seconds is a critical time with hibernation for hard disk damage as 2 gig is being written to the hard disk. Any knocks and bumps could be catastrophic.
I'm going to turn of hibernation and will follow up whether the battery dead with lid closed problem continues.
Problem is that it is intermittent.

T60 battery issue

Hello, I have an issue about my T60 battery. The battery only charged/uncharged about 30 times, but its actual capacity is 27.52Wh and it is less then half of the design capacity. I use the laptop as usual and charge/uncharge normally.
What is the cause?
Thx.
Ps, bought the laptop 1 year ago.

Can anyone help me- I recently had an archive operating reinstall completed at the genius bar (so they didn't have to delete my hard drive), but now my battery says "not charging." It used to hold a 2.5 hour charge, and now nothing. Can anyone help?

Hi, Michelle. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Have you tried resetting the SMC? The SMC (System Management Controller) has control over the charging function, so resetting it may help.

New battery still drains while not in use

A few months ago I noticed a battery performance issue on my 1 gen nano (quickly discharged, drained while not in use). I bought it the day they were available in stores (which was in 2005) so assumed I just needed to replace the battery. I installed a new battery and fully charged it with the ac adapter. However, I'm still having the same problem. After some troubleshooting, I found that it played for 5 hours on a continuous loop with no EQ and backscreen light off. The battery was fully drained. I again recharged in with the ac adapter to make sure the battery meter was recalibrated. After it was fully charged again I placed it on my desk and didn't use it. However after another 5 hours or so it was drained again. This is my second purchased battery so I doubt it's the battery. I have restored the nano numerous times. Any thoughts as why a new battery would drain while not in use? Could this be a hardware issue? Thanks in advance!!

You either have an alarm set in clock or calendar which is causing it to play while you think it is off or you have a logic board short. I'd bet on the latter. You can have it diagnosed at http://www.iresq.com for $9 or Google for other 3rd party repair sites.

My iPhone 5 with 6.1.2 is draining the battery in 4 hours with little use. It has just started. Any suggestions.

My computer (MacBook mid-2007) does not recognise the battery suddenly. A cross appears on the image. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it but it didn't help. Is the battery dead?
