X230 battery charging weird issue+Win 8 never shut down

When I charge my battery, sometimes the laptop automatically sleeps muitiple times and my Fn+F4 stop working at the same time. I have a 9 cell battery that used to run between 8 to 10 hours, now it only last less than 6 hours. I just did a battery guage reset and it told me the battery can maintain 23% of original fully charge capacity and I only have this laptop a little over one year. My system suddenly can't shut down at all unless I removed the battery. It always restarts no matter what method I used. I have researched a few articles and changed a few setting in my laptop, None of them works.

Anyone? Could be a motherboard issue too in my opinion...????

My iPad acting so weird tonight. When it shut down automatically because the battery has been drained. When I opened it, it creates some weird sounds like *swoosh* blahblah. It does make me feel nervous. Can someone help me? Does it already broken? :(

Honestly, I doubt anyone is really going to take the time to read the novel you have written.

We've think that Apple do it for making the change of the phone!! :O
what will we have to do for making the downgrade of OS of the phone?
tks Andrea

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
Apple has never supported downgrading of the iOS.

My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100% and will shut down itself.

My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100 % and will shut down itself. Then I need to off the power and let it cool down first before I can on the phone back. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks.

Hi Limfromsi,
It is normal to an extent for the iPhone to get warm during charging. If your iPhone is currently in a case, you may want to try charging it without one and see if the issue occurs, as the design of the iPhone uses the exterior of the device as a cooling surface. For more information about iPhones and temperature, you may find the following article helpful:
iOS devices: Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2101
If you continue to have issues with your iPhone in the default config (no case, using the included original cable and power adapter), you may want to have your phone evaluated for service. The following page may be of use:

Satellite P200-144 never shut down properly using Vista Ultimate

Recently did a rebuild of my P200-144. Used recover disk with Vists Home. Then upgraded to Vista Ultimate. After that was complete went to toshiba web site for latest drivers and decided to update bios.
When the laptop was restarted it never shut down properly. Left with no choice but switched it off (left in logging off screen).
Now laptop will do nothing. Is there any way to get the bios to boot / restore itself or do I need to bring this to a support centre.

Hmm looks a little bit like the BIOS update has failed ?:|
Usually in such situation the ASP help is needed.
But before you will contact the ASP and will sent this unit to for the check I would recommend removing the battery and disconnecting the AC adaptor from the notebook.
Then wait about ~20min, then connect both parts again and try to start the notebook.
If you will be not successful then the help from ASP is necessary
Good luck

Is it okay if we never shut down and just make the computer to sleep or we just put the flap(screen) to save the energy?

is it okay if we never shut down and just make the computer to sleep or we just put the flap(screen) to save the energy?

I recommend users to put their computers into sleep mode to save energy, and also, they won't waste time turning on their computers. You should only turn off your computer if you aren't going to use it for a very long time, but sleep mode is perfect. If you just turn off the display, your computer will still be working, so you mustn't do this unless you are going to use your computer in a short time

My iMac never shuts down properly

My iMac never shuts down properly, sometimes it says that i need to force quit my wireless internet but even when i do that it just has the white screen and I have to hold the power button down to turn it off properly, why is this and how can i stop it

Hello,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

AppleTV stops after about 10 minutes and I get the "spinning circle". I have re-set the computer's power setting to NEVER shut down, but no help.

My Apple TV stops playing after about 10 minutes. It will only work when iTunes is open, so I leave iTunes and and Home Sharing is on. Everything is fine for about 10+ minutes, then the music stops and I get the "spinning circle". I've set the computer's power settings to never shut down, thinking that it was stopping because the power went off, but it still stops. People over for T-giving soon. HELP!!

Battery does not charging more then 43%! PB shuts down, does not go to slee

Hello
after 223 cycles (at the moment) my battery did something weird. I was surfing internet with 50% of charge and my PB turned off
i pluged in the adaptor and when PB turned on it said that time was reset to 1970 year bla bla bla (PMU reset) after what battery charging level increased up to 43% LED became grren and my battery indicator stopped at 43% and that is it
26 month PB 12" (as shown in System profiler)
i tried to use my pb on battery again and again near 5% it switched off (but should go to sleep mode) and my date and time settings reset to 1970. Again my battery wont charge more then 43%
How could it be?
Thank you in advance

i had a similar problem not once, not twice but THREE times. the only difference being that my battery would charge to "100%" only to just switch off at 80% then a few days later 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, etc until a point where only a few minutes unplugged caused the computer to switch off and the date reset.
for me the issue caused a dead hard drive (i assume from being hard switched off so often)
after my computer chewed through a second battery the same way, theory was devised that the logic board was messing up the power management. one replaced logic board and in a short time another battery down.
at the moment i am waiting for it to be looked at under warranty for the fourth time and honestly feel like as much as i enjoy using osx, i can't really justify another apple purchase .
i hope the road to finding what is wrong with your computer is easier than what it has been with mine.

Installed Battery Updater 1.2, but MacBook still shutting down

Lately my MacBook has been shutting down with about 18% battery life left. I came onto these forums, followed the directions for removing Battery Updater 1.3, successfully installed 1.2, but it's still shutting down.
Is there anything further I can do? Is it possibly just an old battery? (I bought this computer in December '06.) If it matters, my cycle count is 335. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was having the same problem and now it is fixed-- here's an update:
I finally had to take my macbook to the apple store. Basically, the battery died (saw the X in the battery status and it would only run plugged in). They got the battery to work again in the store by resetting the SMC (which I had tried too, but whatever) but they agreed the battery was messed up.
The weird thing is it showed my battery had like 422 charge cycles, even though I've had it like 8 months and I only run it off the battery a few times a day (and not often all the way until the battery runs out).
Anyway they replace the battery, and while I was there I showed them the stains on the top part of my case (the piece with the keyboard) and I told them about my screen sometimes flickering in terms of brightness. They said that those were known issues, and they'd fix it.
So I got it back 24 hours later, with a new battery and new keyboard piece. Cost me nothing and it works great. It is practically like a new computer and my battery lasts MUCH longer than it used to.

While Charging get screen of death. SHUT DOWN BY HOLDING Key

Hi This is my first time posting a question regarding my MBP a couple of time's now I've left my computer on and the charger plugged in I've left it there and instead of stopping charging when it's full I think it's not sometimes I come back and the screen says warning shut down computer by holding down power button for 6 seconds. I unplug the charger it's super hot and the mac is past boiling point. I mean it runs hot sometime but when the problem has happened it's really hot. Also I never hear fans
1)Has this happend to anyone?
2)I did a hardware test and got an error 4SNS/1/40000000: 'TmOP'
Thank you.

Well, I had my MBP sent out for repair they changed the logic board and the thermal unit also the keyboard. And it also came back with some scratches and also on the left side at the seam where your arm/wrist rest is loose so it squeeks..plus is was dirty.
Called Apple Care got someone who said they couldn't replace it because it was past 14 days, so I didn't like that answer and then they gave me to a product specialist. He said the they needed a resonable number of attempts to fix it. I ask him what a resonable number was? He couldn't answer. So each time you send it back your without your computer for 10 days. I said just send me a new one. He said he couldn't but if after some undetermined number of returns then he could. So I said just give me a refund. And that he could do. So I'm returning my MBP and going to wait for the second generation of MBPs that don't run so dam hot. Unfortunatley you have to get a little extra firm to have them do anything.
Oh yeah, he also said if he sent out a new one that it could have the heat problem to. And that the Engineers are working on it but DO NOT have A SOLUTION YET.
It's a bumer cause I like the computer. They should make it big enought not to have a heat issue and also to fit a dual layer burner for $3K. I don't need the thinnest computer just one that works comfortably on the desk in the lap etc. without excess heat issue, airport issues, and high pitched noises.
Apple dropped the ball on getting this to market before the bugs were worked out.
So I will wait, check these disucussion boards from time to time until things are running smoother. Good luck to you and don't cave into these folks trying to tell you the heat is ok or the noise, etc....you paid top $$$ expect the best and don't take any bull**.
Peace,
Time for a Margarita.

Battery and Plugged in Don't Mix = Shut Down (t400)

I have a Thinkpad T400 and it is a little over one yr old. Nothing really fancy going on with it, so I am probably like an everyday user. However, I do have a Sprint Modem Plugged into my thinkpad (plugs into a USB slot to provide me anywhere access to internet).
When I have the Sprint USB Card plugged in and have it connected to the internet the probelms arise... if I have the battery installed and the thinkpad plugged in simulatenously, the machine shuts down soon after I get connected to the internet. The screen goes dark and I do notice the harddrive light blinking. However, no matter how long I wait, the screen never resurrects.
However, if I take the battery out and go off of plugged in power and connect to internet using sprint card, the machine works well. And, if I unplug the machine and run off of battery power the machin works well as well.   I do shut of my wireless card in the thinkpad when using the sprint card.
At one point, I thought this was just the sprint card/ vista issue, but I have noticed that my machine, not as often, will do the same thing when not connected to the internet or connected to the internet via thinkpad wireless modem. In some situtaions, when the screen goes blank, I notice the power cord light on the monitor is out even know the thinkpad is plugged on.
Any thoughts? Sounds like a hardware issue? Could it be overheating?
Just ran a CPUID hardware monitor program and got these results... (in CELSIUS)
*ACPI
THM0:   71    min 70 max 72
THM1: 66     min 63 max 66

Core#1: 58     min 58 max 62

Where can I do that... is that something I can do via the lenovo site?
I just remembered that I just have my harddrive replaced (was defective and under warranty)... and I don't recall this happening before.
and just this afternoon, the computer died w/o the sprint usb internet device in place, yet I was at a panera bread accessing their wifi. ...so it appears that the sprint usb and the thinkpad wireless modem thing are the impetuts here.
also i checked my "update history" via control panel and it appears that on Oct 23, 2009, the following update failed, and windows says "Important"

Issue with Adobe Prox shutting down when combining files

I am having an issue with Adobe. I can open files no problem but when I click to combine multiple files into one pdf, as soon as I try to add the files, it automatically shuts down?

Does it crash on adding specific files or just about any file (try a simple PDF file)
