W520, 55++, 27++, unplugged from power adapter, 0% battery. Press Power button -- power up loops.

Just faced a rather strange issue, but not really an issue, just different system behaviour than expected.
System:
W520
Batteries:
55++ connected
27++ connected
Power adapter:
Unplugged
No other accessories connected.
Scenario:
I was using the system till it power itself off due to low power (0% reached for both batteries). i.e. Ungraceful Windows shutdown. Then upon pressing the power on button, the LEDs flashes, no THINKPAD logo or BIOS message appears, system appears to then restart again, and the LEDs flash again...and loops until it was no longer able to even attempt to POST.
Expected behaviour:
Either display the message that says "Battery level is too low".
Or
Don't loop (this is the behaviour when only the 55++ battery is connected at 0%)
Why does having the 27++ would make the system go through this looping cycle?

Hello Chatbox,
I can understand your issue very well, as there is no message comes on the screen which gives you information to plug the power adapter and prevent the laptop to get shut down.
You should install Power Manager software and then customize it as per your requirement.
The software can be download from the mentioned below web link.

Hope, after this laptop will not shut down automatically due to battery backup
Best Regards,

  • I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

    I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button "live radio" I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

    That is probably just a generic error message and you might not ever know what is causing it. Assuming that you have been able to play live radio with the app in the past (I know nothing about the app) and assuming that all other Internet related functions (Safari, email, etc.) are working properly on your iPad, quit the app completely and reboot your iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that fails to resolve the issue, you might want to reboot your router, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • Computer turns off as soon as i unplug power adapter but battery has 96%

    this just started happening less than a week ago. i have never changed anything on the computer and never dropped it. when i check the battery life by pressing the button on the battery to see the level it has all lights appearing but as soon as i unplug my computer from the wall charger it suddenly turns off. when i try to turn it back on it will turn on for a few seconds (you can hear everything start up including fans) but screen will stay black and then shut. i can only turn it on if it is plugged into the wall. I NEED HELP!

    Welcome to the Forums!
    This symptom fits the description of "+Battery exhibits low charge capacity/runtime when using a fully charged battery+". There are known issues with MBP batteries, and Apple extended the battery warranty to two years for all Core Duo machines (and they have replaced many C2D batteries under this program as well). Read the following:

    ...then contact AppleCare or visit an Apple Store.
    Hope this helps...

  • New power adapter and battery, still not working?!

    A couple days ago, my macbook stopped charging. The power adapter was plugged in, but there was no indication that it recognized it or was charging, so I figured it was a broken power adapter. I bought a new one, plugged it in, everything was fine - until the next day. The new power adapter stopped working as well. So, I go to the genius bar, and they tell me it's my battery. I buy a new battery and plug in the new charger. Everything's working again, until I unplug the power adapter to move my laptop into another room - and now it's not charging again! I tried every power outlet, and something is definitely wrong with the macbook itself. I'm pretty frustrated since I've now spent $200 on new stuff and the problem still isn't resolved.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    A, I love Alexia Potatoes--I think I'm having some garlic mashed with dinner tonight.
    B, Have you downloaded and applied this firmware update?

    Before you do so, you may want to try just a plain old SMC reset:

  • Had Power Adapter replaced, battery icon not showing charge

    Hello, hoping you guys can help me out. Recently, my power adapter had burned out (wouldn't show charge/light up at all). I've had it replaced as of today and is working fine (Whoo!), but now a new problem's come up.
    I admit I used my battery to it's limit while waiting for the new adapter, and while the light on the adapter is green, the battery icon on my screen is showing 0%. Pressing the button on the battery only gives me one green light.
    I've heard something about Re-Calibrating the battery in my manual, but I'm unsure if that's the best course for my case. Here's my Power System Profile, if it helps:

    Re-calibrating the battery is typically done with a new battery, where you charge it all the way up, then run it all the way down a couple of times. This calibrates the battery's internal electronics to the actual capacity of the battery. Not a concern here.
    Looking at your battery stats, is your battery fairly new? It is showing 56 charge/discharge cycles, does that sound about right? Reason for asking is, if the battery is old, like maybe the original battery that came with the system, sometimes a dying lithium battery throws up screwy stats. If it is an older battery, that may be why it's not charging ... it's dead. However, if it is a newer battery ....
    There's only 4 components to the charging circuit - power adapter, dc-in card, battery, and logic board. You have a new power adapter, and the system is seeing the 65 watt power adapter, so the power adapter and dc-in card appear to be OK. That leaves either a battery issue or a logic board issue. Do you have another battery you can swap in, or a friend with the same model PowerBook, or an Apple store nearby? If you swap another battery in, and it starts charging, and the current batter is an older one, then replace the battery. I used this one on mine, and others have had good things to say about it: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/powerbook/battery/g4-15inch-aluminum/ . I would stay away from batteries sold on ebay, as there have been a number of people very disappointed with the lack of quality in the battery they bought.
    If another battery won't charge, that would point to a logic board issue. We just had that on one of our PowerBooks, where it would charge, and it wasn't a power adapter, dc-in, or battery problem. The Apple store sent it off to the Apple Depot, for around $350, and they replaced the logic board as well as the battery. If they do more work, like replacing a dented case, the price goes up. If the Apple store replaces the logic board in the store, it costs around $750 or more.

  • Using ac power adapter vs. battery on MacBook Pro

    I purchased a 15 inch MacBook Pro with retina display a couple months ago.  Most of the time I use it with the ac power adapter.  Is there any harm to the battery life if I never left the battery drain down some and then recharge it? I have come to understand that when the battery is fully charged and plugged in to an outlet the battery is basically on standby.
    Thanks

    If you use it mostly on AC, then once every one or two months you should use it on the battery until the battery runs down to about 20%. Then reconnect the AC so the battery can recharge.

  • G4 doesn't power up unless I press PMU button

    Hi,
    I have a 400MHz PowerPC G4, 512MB ram
    OS 10.3.9
    It won't start up unless I press the small reset button on the motherboard, I have replaced the battery, re-seated all cards booted using open firmware and reset the pram etc, but when I shutdown it wont restart until I press the PMU button.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi-
    Just wanted to know that the power button is "powered". It's LED glows, so, okay.
    You might try and reset the logic board. This should cause the PMU to return to a complete base state. The procedure is:
    1. Unplug the computer.
    2. Press the Power On button on the front of the unit.
    3. Open the side access panel.
    4. Remove the battery from the logic board.
    5. Wait at least 10 minutes before replacing the battery.
    6. Make sure the battery is installed in the correct +/- direction.
    7. Reassemble the computer and test the unit.
    Also, the lack of response from the PMU resetting (continued problems) has probably killed the battery. A 5 year battery can be drained in 2 days......best to be safe, and install a new battery when you do the logic board reset.
    Make sure you don't touch any circuitry on the logic board (with battery installed)- the PMU can easily be damaged-as also, can happen from frequent, multiple resettings.

  • IPhone 3G won't charge from car adapter when battery is low

    I regularly use my Griffin car charger to charge my iPhone 3G. It seems to work well most of the time.
    When my iPhone 3G is very low on battery charge, I discovered that the the iPhone will no longer charge via the car charger. Only way I can recharge the iPhone is via the cable connected directly to my computer or via the wall adapter.
    Is this a normal behavior? Very unfortunate if it is since forcing a mobile user to connect to a wall outlet or a computer makes no sense.

    Copied from my previous post in this thread.
    I know if the iPhone's internal temperature if over a designated temp, you can't charge the battery until the internal temp has been reduced. This is protection for the battery and internal components since charging increases the internal temp.
    When this occurs, the charging indicator will switch to showing as being fully charged.
    Are you using a case?
    Charging increases the internal temp of the iPhone, and using GPS will also increase the internal temp of the iPhone. Combined must have increased the internal temp of your iPhone past the designated temp when charging stops. Using a case can prevent heat from being dissipated properly.

  • TS1365 Power on MBP without pressing the button

    Most modern laptops turn on without having to press the power button (needs a bios setup tweaking e.g. power on laptop when lid is open). Does new MBP have similar options? Power button is working fine (no problem with it), but would be nice to have it powered on when lid is open. Thanks!

    No, not that I'm aware of.

  • Power adapter light not working

    The other day the LED light was stuck on green, even when laptop was not fully charged and even when I pulled it out of the computer!
    Now, the light doesn't come on at all and it doesn't seem to be charging the computer. The battery indicator on the screen is showing that it is connected, but when I unplug the power adapter, the battery is not charged.
    I've tried blowing out any dust/debris, and making sure all of the prongs are properly functioning. Any other advice?

    Stop by an Apple Store, if you can, and test using a different AC adapter. If that works, your adapter is faulty. If it doesn't, your computer probably is.

  • Satellite A105-S4094 hed replaced power adapter after connector failure.

    Now won't power up at all. New adapter checks out ok with vom. IF the battery is completely drained for long time will computer runjust off of the adapter?

    Yes, it should work just with the adapter.
    Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections. If it still won't start, remove the battery and start with just the AC power. Next try without the AC power and just the battery. Also, check that the RAM is inserted securely. Instructions can be found in your user's guide if you need.

  • Beeping sound from hp adapter

    one month back I got my dv6 3056tx notebook's battery is not charging. But upto now I keep managing my laptop because I use my laptop very less. Today when I started plugging in my power adapter and started using laptop , a beep sound came from the adapter. When I shut the power switch,after 5 seconds it stopped beeping. What could be the problem.Do I need to replace it immediately or else it is due to the damaged battery? If I nned to replace my adapter how can I find the model number of my adapter? Pls help...
    Thanks a lot in advance

    This question was solved.

    Adapters occasionally buzz and whine before they die. It is the circuitry that changes the very high AC wall power to the DC power to the laptop. There are some gates and switches in there that actually move a bit and they can make noise. The adapter could work like that for months or die tomorrow but you should replace it ASAP and keep an eye on it. Do not leave it plugged in to the laptop overnight, for example. There is a very slightly elevated chance of fire.
