Thinkpad X201 critical low battery error 0190

I just bought a new battery recently because the one I had was completely dead, but now every time I try rebooting I get "0190 critical low battery error".
I've already updated the BIOS and I'm seeing no other results on Google to try to fix this. The only way I can boot up my laptop without getting that error is if I have the charger plugged in, but if it's not then I'll keep getting that error over and over.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Maybe it's a faulty battery. There are numerous reports about non-genuine Lenovo batteries being built with substandard or even dangerous components. Personally, I never use anything but genuine batteries in any of my ThinkPads. They are more expensive, but I've never been disappointed.
Do you have access to another known-good battery to test? Maybe a friend or colleague?
Regards.

    Good day.
    To clarify, you've posted in an old thread for a very different, and newer generation model of ThinkPad.
    (new thread created)
    To answer, there's no such pinhole reset button on the T410s. It's a feature on select, newer generation models.
    Hope this helps.

  • [S430] 0190: Critical low-battery error while battery full

    Hi,
    my one year old S430, which currently has its third mainboard and has already spent around three months of its young life in warranty repairs, shows a new problem since the last repair:
    When powered on while on battery (with the battery fully charged) it beeps twice and shows "0190: Critical low-battery error", refusing to boot. This happens frequently but not always.
    If i am fast enough i can enter and leave the BIOS-Setup and the problem is temporarily healed - machine boots normally.
    With the first two mainboards i had never run into this. The current one had a prehistoric BIOS Version (from 2012) after replacement, so at first i thought this might cause the problem - but actually the problem persists after an update to the latest BIOS Version.
    For the S431 this seems to be a known problem fixed by the latest BIOS. Any ideas/suggestions for the S430?
    Oh, and PS: Thanks Lenovo for the excellent customer experience. When people ask me which Laptop to buy (which happens quite often), my answer is now "anything but Lenovo" (used to be "get a ThinkPad, be happy" before the S430).

  • X1 0190 critical low-battery error but battery full

    Hi,
    Can anybody help
    When starting my X1 without AC it gives me "0190 critical low-battery error" but when i connet ac an boot ith shows battery is full, and it holds for about 1.5 hours. 
    Any ideas?

    I contacted the vendor and they kindly sent me a replacement battery which addressed the problem immediately.  I did notice the new battery is a much tighter fit in the battery bay than the original so maybe that was part of the problem at least.

  • 0190 critical low battery error lenovo twist

    Occasionally, I am getting this error "0190 critical low-battery". I am not sure how to replicate the error, but it only happens when I leave the laptop to fully charge. It doesn't happen every time I fully charge my laptop, but most of the times. 
    I am sure that it is not the new bios that causes this because I had encountered it before the bios upgrade. It seems to occur when I leaving my laptop hibernated to fully charge. To resolve I have to plug in the AC adaptor once.
    On top of that I am already experiencing the "can't wake from sleep" problem with the new bios making my laptop highly unreliable 
    Please advise

    I have a similar error that I think is related to 8.1 (Production version).    When the battery drains and shuts down automatically, I plug it in to charge.  When I am ready to use, I unplug and go to turn the machine back on and get the critical battery warning though I know the battery is fully charged.    I have to plug it back in, turn the machine on, wait for it to blue screen (which it does) and then it works fine.    Seems something that a bios update can address..... Hopefully someone at Lenovo sees this and cares to address

  • 0109 Critical low battery error

    Brand new X230 (2 days old) Been using the laptop fine yesterday, internal battery drained to 0 %. Slice battery showing 87 % no issues.
    Shutdown the laptop. however upon attempting to reboot the error presented and the machine would not boot until AC power connected. Upon boot up checked battery capacity and slice showing 87 % still. Once booted I was able to remove external AC and the machine continued to work quite happily in the external battery.
    All updates installed - so how to deal with this ? Is it a firmware issue of some kind ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Solved. not sure how or why but the lock switch (which is meant to be automatic) was not engaged. With more than a little fiddling I got it to the locked position and then the machine would boot when the primary battery is flat.

  • T400 power/batt​ery problem (0190 critical low-batter​y error)

    Hi everyone, I hope you guys can help me with this.
    I was using my T400 and when the battery got low, I had to charge it, obviously. The T400 has these little LCD displays at the bottom of the screen, one of them is the battery (it was orange since the battery was low) and right next to it there is the display that lets you know the power cord is plugged in.
    When I plugged the power cord in, I noticed the display did not work. So I was left with a non-charging power cord and a fast lowering battery power. What was to happen happened, so now my battery is completely depleted.
    When I unplug the battery and try to power the laptop, there is no power at all, nothing.
    When I put the battery in and try to power the laptop, I get the message 0190: Critical low-battery error.
    Thanks guys !

  • Random Low Battery Messages

    Hello All,
    I recently upgraded to iPhone 3G and I notice that I get that critically low battery warning popping up at least once a day. It tells me my battery is red and I need to plug it in like NOW. The thing is, I push the standby button twice (once to put it asleep, once to wake it back up) and it shows my battery as fine. It happens at random levels, sometimes almost all the way full, to sometimes around 20-30% full. The odd thing is that it will do it when I am not using the phone. I just see it turn itself on and pop up that screen as it sits on my desk. I know the battery has got charge because I will use it for a while after it happens and the battery indicator shows a normal charge. I just don't know why it pops up with that message. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hi Train448,
    Are you using any 3rd-party accessories with the iPhone?
    Try restoring the iPhone as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744
    If you continue seeing the message after restoring the iPhone it may need hardware repair. Make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

  • My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
    BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
    Thanks

  • Error msg on screen say low battery 20% of battery remaining

    recieving error msg on screen say low battery 20% of battery remaining

    chiggins3140,
    Yeah, that 20% battery notification is normal - it's not an error message. There should be a "Dismiss" button. Tap it and the low battery message will disappear.

  • What does it mean when I get this message:  "Battery is critically low"

    I am suddenly getting a message "the battery is critically low" - am I in danger here?????

    You're in danger of the Mac shutting down, that's all. Recharge your battery when you get a chance.
    If you believe the message is spurious an SMC reset is justified. Read all the steps:
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery (to remove the battery - click here: MacBook or MacBook Pro).
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Still having problems? Replace steps 6 and 7 with the following:
    Reconnect just the MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer,
    Then reconnect the battery.

  • Lightroom 4.3 Incorrectly gives 'critically low on disk space' errors

    Lightroom 4.3 today started popping up random 'critically low on disk space' errors for the drive housing the catalog file.
    The drive in question has over 500GB free.  There are no errors in Windows logs showing that OS is throwing these errors.
    Very frustrating to have this error pop up every couple of minutes.
    Has anyone else run into this issue, and if so, found a fix?
    -Daniel

    I have the same issue with LR4.3.  The catalog is on a disk that currently has 283 GB free out of 698 GB total.
    Occassionally I get the out of space message:
    Ad additional problem I am having is that when I click to IMPORT photos, the Import panel is excrutiatingly slow.  Windows occassionally thinks that the program has crashed after I do something like start typing keywords to assign to the images about to be imported.  The slowness occurs before any actual import is ordered or even an import source is selected. 
    I don't know if these problems are related, but they are both very annoying!

  • Battery critically low , update will resume after battery is 20%

    My playbook was dead for many days. After charging it for several hours it used to turn on but there was no charging at all so I read in the support that I could try to update OS. I updated OS using blackberry desktop software but after leaving for sometime I got the above message.  THen i disconnected from the charger to see if the charger was working and the sceen went black and then when i connected the charger Red lid turns on for some time then a battery sign with red bolt comes for few seconds then green led light starts blinking. After about half hour the palaybook starts but again the same message comes that the battery is critically low and update will resume when battery is 20% charged. I tried all the options listed in the forum but havenot bought a rapid charger.
    Can anyone help me please. It is not under waranty period.

    Hi playstone,
    Try leaving your PlayBook plugged in for a couple of hours again, then while the PlayBook is plugged in, press the power button for 15-20 seconds to try to force it to reboot. Try this a few times as I know that's helped for some other users (it didn't want to go with the first restart attempt, but it did work after the 3rd or 5th attempt). If that doesn't work, can you get access to another charger (a rapid charger would be best, but it may be worth trying another charger)? That may help in the event that your current charger is no longer working properly. Even try going into your local Staples, Best Buy or other and see if they'd have a charger you could just try out.
    Good luck and keep us posted. If nothing works, let us know as there may be some other things we can try still.

  • Playbook stuck on 'Battery Level Critically Low' screen.

    I know there's 100's of forums about the Playbook's battery problems. Just hear me out, please. Nearly 3 weeks ago, my Playbook died on me. It was stuck at 11% power, I tried charging with the charging it came with, nothing. When it went flat, I tried stack charging. No luck there either. Later, I bout a rapid travel charger, tried stack charging, nada. (I did get the LED activity and sceens the support page mentioned). Leaving it charging for a while, it was able to get the the home screen, but refused to charged. Since my Playbook was able to recieve power when connected to the rapid charger, I connected my Playbook via USB. I made a backup and I wiped the OS through the Desktop Manager because I thought my Playbook was bricked. My problem still wasn't fixed. I forgot that I still needed 20% power to install the OS, and since my Playbook refuses to charge, I'm stuck on a screen saying: 'Battery Level Criticaly Low' with a RED battery icon with a lightingbolt through it, with 0% on top of it, telling me to connect it to a power source, even known its connected to my Rapid Charger. I have no idea what to do now. Disconnecting the Rapid Charger immediatly shuts-off my Playbook. I also noticed something wierd. If connected to a Rapid Charger alone, when I disconnect it while a RED battery icon appears, it shuts-off right away, I don't get the icon telling me to reconnect. But when I have to connected to the Rapid Charger AND my PC via USB, I get an icon telling me to reconnect to a power source when I remove the Rapid Charger. My problem still remains. Even if a leave it charging while connected to my PC, and it boots-up, I still get the 'Battery Level Critically Low' screen. It still shuts-off when I disconnect the charger. Any tips? I've tried the Jump-Boost, stack charging and the 'Battery Characteristics' page wasn't much help either. My Playbook is still alive, I just need to find out how to make it charge. I'll draw a diagram of what's happening and post it here if you need it.

    Assuming the rapid charger is the three pin magnetic type made by Blackberry, that charger almost always will charge a good playbook. Disconnecting the rapid charger should give the same red battery icon, but it doesnt. As it seems neither route will charge it I suspect the battery, the battery strap or the motherboard has a dry joint. If you cant get to it and find it by removing the back of the playbook, I would assume its days are over.
    If so the backup will be of no use unless you can get another playbook. 
    Last resorts before getting out the spudgers...
    Leave on rapid charger overnight.  Press power button for 20 sec every so often next day whilst on charge.
    Or
    Leave connected to a non sleeping laptop usb overnight. Playbooks in standby will usually accept a trickle charge that way. 
    Sarah.
