The battery status light on my N200

The battery status LED, on my N200 is ALWAYS on, its on even if it is running from batteries, or if it is on AC power, even if its fully charged the status light stays on..
is this normal? its a status light....so it should not be "always" ON, right?
Our sweetest songs tell of saddest thought

Ok, you are not resetting the TC.. that is just restarting it. Resetting means to hold in the reset button or use the utility to reset it.
When you say it goes dark, you mean it is not lit at all??
Do any errors show up in the airport utility?
I would say the TC is faulty but it maybe just a very minor issue if the wireless and backup is working.
I would recommend a full factory reset.
Unplug the TC power cord.
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in whilst you power the TC on.. it is helpful to have a friend (unless you have 3 arms).
Keep holding in reset without release for about 10sec after power on, until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and now redo the setup of the TC.. this will not harm any info on the hard disk but will reset the TC to factory and you will need to redo the setup.
I recommend this time around use all names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. Apple names have issues even with apple products.. see C9 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Once you have it setup again.. does the front LED now go green.. if not you might still have issues with the utility .. clear or ignore them.. what happens now??

This didn't work for me, so I did a bit of searching and TONS of pages later in google, I found an answer. Here are the steps for people who also were in my situation:
1. Take off bottom case
2. Unplug battery - blurry image here: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/03cC79r5Dx4/0.jpg
3. Press and hold power button for 5 seconds
4. Plug a charger in, and it should start booting up
5. After shutting down again, reconnect the battery and close the case up
6. It works! (hopefully, if you guys had the same situation I did)

My mac book pro is on, but the power light indicator is not on, the battery charging light is not on, and the computer is making a whirring sound, what is wrong

My mac book pro is working, but my power light is off, the battery power light is not on and my battery power symbol is a black x. My computer is making a whirring sound sort of like it does when loading a CD. I had a hard time getting the computer to turn on, used the command, option, P and R buttons to turn in on. I have tried restart, but I still get the whirring sound. What is wrong and what do I do?

Didn't do an SMC reset. But in attempting to find out about what that was I found some things to try first. Also, when I went to system preferences - hardware, I couldn't find anything regarding power and battery info. Finally, I unplugged the computer for several seconds, then shut it down, removed the battery, put the battery back in. Then I turned on the computer, plugged in the power cord. Problem solved- no whirring sound, battery charging light is on.
Thanks for getting me in the right direction.

I had this problem for quiet sometime now, and I would really appreciate your help. THANKS

I did try restoring the ipad a couple of times and it didn't do the trick. I also tried updating the firmware.
The only thing that worked for a while when the ipad - on it's own - rebooted itself into a black screen with white text and automatically fixed the issue. It worked perfectly for a couple of months but it came back after I forgot to charge the ipad , does anyone know how I can force the ipad into that screen again ?

When charging, the battery status from 95% suddenly jumps to 100%

Hi Guys!
I just bought my Xperia Z1 last month, i haven't full charge to 100% my battery since the the first 8H charging the time i bought. I always charge when the status 20% and below, but never flat. Now I noticed that the battery status from 95% suddenly jump on to 100% within a matter of seconds.
Please help.... don't know the cause, is my battery already damaged or spoiled?
Thanks.
Solved!

Well with any battery you need to cycle it completely once ina while. Charging it from 20% back to 100% is actually detrimental if you do it on a regular basis.
Sometimes let your phone dicharge completely then charge it completely to 100%.
The issue you are facing however could also be due to the battery capacity being detected wrongly.
Try going to *#*#7378423#*#* on your dialer and go to diagnostics and check battery health.. if it reads over 300000 then you are fine... Its not your battery.
Don't forget to give Kudos and / or mark the correct answer.

The battery status is stuck in 15% in my Acer Iconia One. Charges normally. It is preventing update.

You can try 2 things: 1) let it discharge completly, then plug the AC charger without turn the tablet on and leave it until if finish charging, then power it on and check if battery charge is correct 2) do a factory reset (backup you data before doing it). settings/backup&reset - factory data reset

I have a mid 2009 13'' MBP. I got the battery replaced in Apple store, It then stopped displaying the battery status LED. After some months of use my MBP died. I got it checked in Apple verfied Service centre and was told that logic board was to blame

I have a mid 2009 13'' MBP. I got the battery replaced in Apple store, It then stopped displaying the battery status LED.
After some months of use my MBP died outside USA. I got it checked in Apple verfied Service centre and was told that logic board was faulty.
After I came back to US I took my MBP to Apple store and was told that there is liquid damage in the system. My question is that if there was liquid damage why did my MBP stop displaying the battery status right after the battery was changed secondly why didnt the apple verified Service centre tell me that there was liquid damage afterall I paid them the money for diagnosing the problem.
Is there a process i can followup on this problem

These are question you would need to ask that service center.

How reliable is the Battery Status Indicator?

I have had my MacBook Pro for a month now, and I don't know if I can trust my battery status indicator a the top of the MacOSX screen
It usually goes a lot shorter than the indicated percentage or the calculated battery life time.
I have another issue with this MBP.
Has anyone actually been able to use MBP for as close to 5 hours which is the battery life posted on the apple website?
I set my MBP to lowest backlight, no programs or widgets running, wireless and bluetooth off and kept it one for hours. The battery lasted a about 3hours and 49 minutes. Is there something wrong with this battery?

As you use your MBP on battery it collects information on your battery usage style and uses that to predict battery run times. based on that it's reasonable accurate providing you calibrate your battery ever 4-8 weeks or so. Also, the data it collects the more accurate it can predict your battery time.
Once you start using your MBP differently though the accuracy can vary but should still remain "reasonably" accurate.
I personally find the times reasonably accurate altough for the most part I run off the percentage rather than time.
Has anyone actually been able to use MBP for as close to 5 hours which is the battery life posted on the apple website?
No-one will ever get 5 hours. As you note from the specs it's "based on usage" or more to the point, it's non-usage. Those time are achieved by having it on my not being "used".
Average battery times should range from 2.5-4 hours depending on your actual usage.

How can I get the page status light to come on?

The page status indicator light ha been non-functional ever since I downloaded newer versions... as a result of this problem I have seldom been using Mozilla firefox because I have no confidence in secure searching! If need be, I will delete Mozilla Firefox altogether!

When you had to reset and secure the router that provides the wireless network, does this mean that you changed either the wireless security setting or wireless network password?
If yes, then you will need to reconfigure the AirPort Express and provide it with those new settings so that it can join the wireless network correctly.

My iPod (3rd generation nano I believe) seems to be locked? I can't use the screen anymore and there is a small lock symbols by the battery status. I can however use my Bose docking station clicker to change songs etc but my actual iPod won't work??

My iPod third generation screen seems to be frozen or locked... Not sure how to fix this? I've tried the holding of the menu button and middle button to restart but that doesn't even do anything :(

Hi everyone, I just figured it out by reading some other posts. Thanks!

HT3205 My Macbook pro can not power on after not being in use for two months. all the battery indicator lights lights but when the power on botton is pressed, the laptop makes intermitent noise

How do I wake up my Macbook pro from sleep after not using it for about too months, it beeps continually when the power on botton is pressed. I put it on charge for over too hours, it still can not power on

Yes, I took it to apple store, George Town, US and one out of the two memory chips was bad. It was replaced free of charge because the Mac book pro was under warranty, and it is working perfectly.
Thanks

Sleep Light and Battery Status LED on MBP Retina

What is the philosophy why the Retina MBP has no Sleep Light and Battery Status LED?

On my 2010 MBP, I think I've used the battery indicator (lights on the side of the machine) maybe 2 or 3 times in 2 years, so for me it's no big deal, but I can understand that if someone is often using the notebook on battery, then having the lights is an easy way of seeing the status.
