T61 battery died

My battery was working fine, I would leave it plugged in after it was charged to 100% too often probably, but I never noticed any problems when I would run off battery power for at least two hours without problems. The power manager said the condition of my battery was poor all of a sudden and stopped holding a charge. There was no gradual deterioration, it just stopped working overnight. I bought an off brand battery, this too won't hold a charge, it says the condition is good, when ac is plugged the battery won't charge above 58%.
Is a battery breaking overnight regular?

more likely than not its the Nvidia card do you have warranty or post warranty ? here are some post about this

Battery Died so fast.

A few days ago, I was shutting down my laptop. I didn't check if the laptop turned off. But the next day, my battery died. It had the blinking orange battery. The AC adapter doesn't charge it anymore. I still have my warranty under November. It hasn't been a year yet. I'm wondering how I go about getting my battery replaced.
Any info will help.
Thanks,
Mike

My battery died and then when i charged the phone it is asking me to connect to itunes and restore. if i restore how can i get my data back

My iphone battery died and on charging the phone it asked me to connect to itunes and restore the phone.
If i restore the phone how can i get my data back and how can i check when i last backed up my phone

If you have been syncing regularly as the iphone is designed, then you can sync the data back.
Regardless you will have to restore the iphone.

Iphone 4 battery dying rather too fast plus overheating

Using Iphone 4 for 3 weeks now it was working fine when i used it , now it has stopped going into landscape mode (I have checked it aint locked in portrail mode either) it overheats like an old Nokia smartphone and the battery died by 46% in 1h15min talk via handsfree and no app running in the background.
Went to a apple retail store they said since iphone 4 is not launched in india yet (is some from apple listening to this, y is it not here wen ipad 2 is) hence they cant give me any service . I bought it factory unlocked from singapore ........

Try rebooting your iPhone (holding the home button and sleep/wake button together until the apple logo appear)

How do i fix my issue: Apple Logo flashes on and off after iphone battery died during IOS update?

I've tried the methods I've seen on youtube and other iphone tech help sites but I am still having the same problem. Today while updating to IOS 7 my iphone 4 battery died and I didnt have a charger, now that I am home an I put in on the charger I notice the apple logo just flashes on and off. I've tried to restores using the DFU mode with the home and power button but that only seem to stop the logo from flashing and even then the iphone still isnt recognised by the pc to restore, Is there any other way i can go about fixing this problem!!!!

You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide. If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. The second is that my battery died, and despite being able to charge it, it is unable to restart back up.

My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. After using my computer to install something onto my iPod 5, it somehow disconnected. When i restarted the iPod, some apps (Safari, FaceTime, Game Center, App Store, iTunes Store, Camera, and some others disappeared. Apps like Flashlight and Jetpack Joyride which I had previousyl downloaded from the App Store were still there. I wanted to get the aforementioned apps back, so i decided to back-up my iPod to iTunes. The downloaded apps weren't able to be backed up ("authentication problems") but some apps like Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, Stocks, Settings, Voice Memos, were backed up. I then proceeded to factory reset the iPod, deleting everything and starting it as a new iPod. Once I finished this, I looked my desktop to see everything was gone, absolutely everything. I double-pressed the home button, showing Settings was open, but that's it. I opened settings and factory reset it again, this time choosing to restore from a backup. After doing this, I found the iPod looked the same as the last time i reset it - blank. If I scroll down the middle of the screen to bring up a search bar, I can find only the apps I backed up (Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, etc.) That is the first MAJOR problem. I was getting really frustrated, so I opened up iBooks and discovered I can download a could free books from the store, which was essentially the only thing I can use the iPod for. There were no videos in the Video app, and pressing the "Go to Store" button did absolutely nothing. No lag, it just ignored my touch. Once i found a few books, I decided to start reading. Eventually, i brought this iPod somewhere to read it, and didn't bring the charger with me. The battery died, and when i got home, tried charging it.
Which brings me to the second problem. A minute or so after I plugged in the charger into the dead iPod, the Apple logo came on. But the iPod never started up. The logo stayed there, getting dimmer after a minute, but no vanishing even after fully charging or pulling out the charging cord. It didn't leave even after hours, but by then the battery died again. If i press and hold the power button and the home button at the same time, the Apple logo disappears. But I can't get into recovery mode utilizing the volume buttons. If i hold the power button when the screen is blank, the Apple logo comes back. But the iPod cannot start up.
After everything was wiped, i was pretty angry. But I still had books to read, even if i couldn't do much else. Then the battery died, and it really wrecked me up. I feel so mad right now, although this actually happened about 4 days ago. The iPod being wiped happened about 3 days after the Christmas holidays began. This iPod also was not brand new, I bought it off a friend who had it for over a year, although it was in perfect condition (Obviously out of warranty.) I desperately need a solution to this HUGE problem. Due to personal reasons, I can't go to a Genius Bar or go to an Apple retailer in person, but communicating by E-mail is an option, as is instant messaging.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

My ipod touch is frozen on a screen with the ipod logo and the usb charger cable...i cannot get rid of it...i let the battery die...i held the sleep button and the power buttons..anyone have any ideas?

my ipod touch is frozen... the screen has a picture of the itunes logo and a usb charger. I have held the sleep button and the power button to reset and i have let the battery die and started to recharge...niether worked. any ideas???

Try charing it to 50% at least.
If all else fails, try putting it in DFU mode. Connect it to iTunes, (iTunes may not detect the device, but that's ok) hold the power and home buttons down for 10 seconds, then release the power button but keep holding the home button until it goes into DFU mode. iTunes should detect it and ask for a restore.

My iPhone 5 battery died and will no longer turn on. What do I do?

Just got my new iPhone 5 two days ago. My battery died and I tried to charge it for the first time but nothing happens. It won't charge via USB or the wall plug. The only thing that happens is the picture of the phone with the arrow pointing to the battery comes on indicating that the phone needs to be plugged in. What do I do?

For how long did you try to charge the phone? If you've tried charging for hours with nothing happening, I would assume there is a fault with either the Lightning cable or the phone itself (possibly a battery fault) since you get the same whether you connect to the PC or external charger. If you can, make a Genius Bar appointment to have all aspects checked...either that or return to where you purchased the phone and have them check it out and replace it under warranty.
EDIT: Something to try is to verify that the lightning port on the phone (and the cable) is free of any dust/lint/gunk/whatever. Try blowing it out or use a soft brush to disloge/remove any foreign matter that could be stuck in the port.

I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left. How do I fix this?

I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left. Do I need to start completely over and delete the content in my new library to prevent duplicates or is there a way to continue the process?

This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks. I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.

Try a SMC reset:

My 16b 3gs was working perfectly. The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also neohook up to itunes for restore. It also had a little exclamation button that reads: IMEI:unknown and just below it read ICCID: Unknown. Nothing else

My 16gig ipone 3gs was working perfectly since it was replaced only a month or to prior. I was visiting with some friends around the ole pipe and low and behold the phone was completly dried of it's go juice. One we noticed I reached into the kitchen and plugged it in to the outlet.,,, The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also said Emergency calls only in various foriegn languages. It also said to plug it into your itunes. All the while haviing no calling options to say the least. I followed the apple instructions perfectly when it said that there was a new version of itunes I should download first, prior to refreshing it. It went through all of the installing and so on then at the end you still get a useless phone that doesnt work. IMEI: unknown and ICCIC; unknown (both of which can be found by you on the box or on the sim card case. I completley removed the sim card and it worked in my hubbies 3g.   I tried several times and also AT&t had made sure the imei and iccic where correct. So I spent hours getting nowhere with this. Its new and nice and broken.. Im going to leave that Apple store with a brand new iphone 4 tomorrow. Simply b/c it is for my pain and suffering and for giving me a crappy refurbished phone. Fair is fair. So if you've found a way to fix great, but Im going to get that free iphone 4 xoxo toodllloooo

I presumed from your original post that you had to fork out another $3000 for a temporary replacement, and be without your original for 1 week, then have to return the temporary one. Not to mention all the postage etc. Now, just presuming that you would be happy to pay $200 to have it fixed without all that hassle. Obviously your not satisfied with the current option otherwise you wouldn't have posted the thread to begin with.
