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.

    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

  • [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).

    To answer, there's no such pinhole reset button on the T410s. It's a feature on select, newer generation models.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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 !

  • I just got my battery replaced, but at full battery it still only reaches 2 hours. Am I doing anything wrong or do I have to go get another one again?

    I have a Macbook and its battery has been bad, so I brought it in to the apple store and got a new battery under my warranty. After fully charging the battery once, the maxium time I had left was 2:57, which is an hour longer than my old battery, but shouldn't my battery be lasting somewhere around 4 hours since it is brand new?

  • 2008 R2 Backups running without error, but doing FULL backups twice a week...

    I have two Windows Server 2008 R2 systems which I am backing up with the native WSB utility.  Both are VMs under ESXi 5.5 on the same physical Dell R710 host.  Each has its own 2 TB USB connected device which was dedicated to and formated by and
    for WSB.  Both complete their respective backups without error and have been up for months.
    On system A, WSB reports there are 243 copies available and examining the drive shows there is 288 GB free of the 1.81 TB total.
    On system B, WSB reports there are 11 copies available and examining the drive shows there is 1.33 TB free of the 1.81 TB total.
    My question is, why doesn't system B leverage a similar amount of the drive?
    Thank you for any ideas!
    Clay
    Newark IT Guy...

    I may be way off base as I'm a real estate agent not an IT person and I've just started learning about WSB/wbadmin last week, but here are my thoughts:
    1. Mandy's response is all about MaxShadowCopies which has little to do with the OPs issue (I think).  MaxShadowCopies is associated with "Client Accessible Shadow Copies" and related "Shadow Copies for Shared Folders." Useful for when
    you accidentally delete or mess up a file in some way and you quickly and easily restore a previous version of that file via the file's properties window.  Going down the wrong path with this I think except for the small caveat that the absolute 512 shadow
    copy maximum applies to WSB shadow copies.  Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
    2. system B may have hit the "Maximum Shadow Copy Storage Space" setting for that volume.  From the command line, use command "vssadmin list shadowstorage" and compare the "used shadow copy storage space" to the Maximum. 
    If it is close, or if an additional backup would cause it to exceed the limit, the system will delete backups from shadow copy until there is room for the new one (again, "I think" this is so).  See the vssadmin resize shadowstorage" command
    options for adjusting the size.
    3. I've read a few examples where the free space shown via a drive's properties was wrong for various reasons so maybe this is your circumstance.  So, system B may have had much less available space than you think, and because of limited space, The new
    full backup takes priority and WSB is automatically deleting older shadow copy snapshots in order to make room for the new backup.  Run chkdsk on that volume and see what the "available" space is.
    Also, If it turns out you do have a space issue, Do you know for sure that your backups are succeeding?  If the low number of backups is due to limited space, it could also cause the new backups to fail due to not enough space.
    Caveat on all of the above: I am quite uncertain about all of this, so hopefully someone will chime in and corroborate or correct my comments.  
    As a parting thought, I'll have to say that after reading the forum for a few hours trying to learn about WSB/wbadmin it is disappointing to see, in thread after thread, so many canned responses linking the same reference material without any attempt to actually
    answer the OPs questions or deepen understanding of the subject.  Is this forum managed by paid employees?  If so, it feels like many simply locate a document that "might" be related, then they copy and paste a link along with a few statements
    directly from said document.  No added insights of their own, no furthering or revealing of nuances about the subject at all.  Mandy's post above is a prime example.   Just an observation from a new visitor to this forum.
    PS - I did notice that "Sriram [MSFT]" posted some very very helpful comments on the WSB & VSS subjects, just wish there were more like his.

  • 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?
    Moderator comment: Please refrain from bumping your thread(s) / post(s) more frequently than 3 days. Doing so, unfairly, pushes other members' threads downwards. Bumping post(s) removed.

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Solution - Battery error is detected. Irreparable damage to the battery has been detected. Replace

    I own a T61 7658 I bough on 2008, it worked great with the default power settings until October 22nd I decided to change my power profile to MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.  
    Next day I received on Message Center...
     10/23/2010 - Battery health is critical. With the current system settings and a full charge, your battery can provide approximately 3.0 hours of use. A new battery could provide up to an estimated 5.5 hours.
    I kept using the Laptop with the Max performance until...
    11/12/2010 - Battery error is detected. Irreparable damage to the battery has been detected. Replace the battery with a new one. 
    I have used IBM/Lenovo  for years and even had used batteries for 5 years without a single issue.
    I have read many posts of people having the same problem not only with T61s, but many other Lenovo models, and also read posts of Lenovo's administrators suggesting this is normal and justifying that batteries should be good for at least 12 months and after that we are on own, basically meaning we should be thankful in name of our own safety that we had that battery protection and we must replace it at our own cost and forget about it.  That is a very easy way out, isn’t it.
    But certainly, not only batteries with more than 12 months are failing, even new batteries are and have been replaced with multiple exchange programs posted by Lenovo in their website just as in http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/batt/082009/LandingPage.html. and also in multiple MIGR battery replacement campaigns available to all online as well. 
    Good thing here is that Lenovo has recognized the problem and has exchange the batteries still under warranty and also few of the batteries without warranty limiting to some serial numbers on the MIGR battery replacement campaigns, but the bad side is that Lenovo is leaving behind other clients like me and many others not being selected for replacement.  But I’m sure we all have a good battery but turned useless due to the Lenovo programmed safety temperature limits in the power manager and the battery board.  Please let me explain.
    This is my conclusion.  There is nothing wrong with used or new batteries or their cells in 99% of the cases, I'm sure my battery is okay although is being turned useless by the battery protection feature on my T61.
    Lenovo must recognize the problem is the settings they have programmed on the power manager and battery protection board. It is very understandable that when users select a Power Scheme that demands higher amounts of power to generate better performance on the system this also demand additional power generating heat on battery and on the power supply as the computer is running at full performance, just as happens on my ipod when watching video, or in my kid’s R/C truck when running continuously and will happen with any other battery powered device.  
    Therefore any scheme requiring performance is generating heat and is tripping the battery protection and this is not a client’s fault, as are we just using an available scheme provided on our Lenovo system. If the battery protection is not calibrated to support this power demand, then there is a poor design/testing of the capabilities of the system and the battery protection parameters that instruct the battery to save itself from a fire or burning … which is understandable. 
    The bad side is that there is not possible reset option for the end users, the only option is to buy a new battery at our own cost after the 12 months of warranty, when the cause of the problem is originated in the computer system design settings and can happen at any time, that is way, the system warned me, as in:
     10/23/2010 - Battery health is critical. With the current system settings and a full charge, your battery can provide approximately 3.0 hours of use. A new battery could provide up to an estimated 5.5 hours.
    The computer is saying! At maximum performance, You are using too much power, and my battery will last just 3 hrs (9 cells on my system) instead of the 5.5 hrs that should last. But not only the running time was reduced, the heat on the power supply system and Battery was also increased due to the higher power demand, the battery can not handle the demand and protect itself to prevent fire or damage.
    So who has to pay for this?  Can Lenovo do something about it? For us client and for future clients?  This not a matter of having or not having warranty, this can happen at any time in any computer.
    I'm writing this hoping to be heard and supported and I hope LENOVO provides a satisfactory solution to the issue.  I'm not going to say will never buy Lenovo again I already did, I invested my money on Lenovo and with warranty or not I'm looking forward to get a decent response.  
    Lenovo must change the parameters for tripping battery protection probably handled at BIOS level, and to provide a reset feature to all "locked" batteries there is many people that has lost at least one battery, some other more than that.  Since even if we get a replacement, the chances  the issue will continue is there, as long as I select a high power demand scheme the problem sooner or later will be back.   Even car makers support their clients beyond the warranty if they detect that the issue compromises safety and their reputation.  Fix it. 
    M.Padron.

    amtho, welcome to the forum,
    start by looking at this site and also look at this site which is actually linked to from the first one.
    Hope this helps

    How old is your Mac? 1-2-3 years old?
    Batteries go bad even if the charge cycle count is low. They only last so long whether they are used or not. The last longer being used on a regular basis but not abused. Using them all the time and or leaving it connected to AC all the time will shorten it life span.
    Use it but don't abuse it.
