It was all working fine and completely perfect for 12 whole years until today when it started not charging and started making the ticking sound while getting hot. I have checked other outkets and same problem is it the problem with my laptop or the adapter/converter

Hi, i have an HP Pavilion 15-dk0xxx Gaming Laptop and I noticed that recently, that when i unplugged my laptop it shut itself off as soon as the warning to plug it for the battery instead of waiting for a minute before shutting itself off (which was the time it used to take before), so i knew...

Hi. I'm using Windows 10. If I want to use my Dell Inspiron 7570 laptop only with laptop charger, there are two options: 1) Remove laptop battery physically This option works fine for me. I just need to plug in charger all the time so it doesn't shut down accidentally without turning off...

Hi everyone. While my laptop is connected to the AC adapter, my dGPU is limited to 50 watts and my CPU goes up to 80 watts momentarily and 45-50 watts under sustained load; And both of these are normal according to specs. Going forward, when it's not connected to the AC, the dGPU is imited...

Recently I've encountered an issue with my laptop: annoying coil whine just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and a day or two after that an insane power throttling started happening. Absolutely positive that the issue is not connected to audio speakers and is not thermal throttling. The only...

Hello everyone, My issue is a bit weird and spooky behaviour of my laptop's battery (Dell latitude 5500 running on Windows 10). First of all, the battery life so good that it lasts for roughly 8-10 hours of work and has battery health of 71.5% and shows "Excellent" in the bios. But, two events...

I bought a used XPS 9510. When it's charging I feel the device overheating specially on the left side of the body, and the CPU temps spike to 100 degrees. I have to adjust the fans to max speed in order to keep them under 90 and it makes a lot of noise for this. I bought the laptop just 2 weeks...

Hi, so my laptop works completely fine when plugged in to a charger but when it's on battery power it shuts down. If the laptop is turned on and I unplug it, then it shuts down (sometimes it's after 5 seconds and sometimes it's after a few minutes, but it never shuts down instantly after...

I just bought my new laptop (Huawei D15) and thought about keeping the battery healthy for longer period. Almost everywhere it is adviced to follow The 80/40 rule where you plug in when it's 40% and unplug when 80%. My question is, how can I maintain that other than looking at the battery...

Hi there! I got the Ora GrapheneQ headphones from a friend, with a dead battery and I wanna replace it. I took out the old battery, however I'm not sure what connector this is. At first glance it looks like a JST connector but I measured the pin pitch to be around 0.75mm and the JST SH is the...

It's difficult to google this issue, everything that comes up is Bluetooth. I want to avoid bloatware(Logitech G Hub, Corsair iCue, Razor Synapse), but I know that the battery information for my Logitech keyboard, Corsair headset, and Razor mouse is available. I was hoping there was some 3rd...

My laptop has an issue where it will not turn on, plugged in, or not. To get it to turn on, I have to wait one week or so without using it, and then plug it in and turn it on. Once on, it lasts for about five minutes before it switches off and will not turn on again (for another week or so) What...

Hello! Since there's pretty severe issues with power supply in my country and I kind of want to keep doing my job from home, I think of buying a laptop that can run without the need to be plugged in a power socket for ideally 8 hours straight or for let's say 4-5 hours. To do my job I install...

Yesterday, I shut down my laptop when it was 30% remaining and went to sleep. But today, when I boot it up, it is only 8% remaining. This problem happened to me many times now. I have calibrated my battery, reset bios settings, ... but it still persists. Resetting my bios settings will stop the...

Hello everyone, I've had this issue for a while now (about a month). I've tried reinstalling drivers, removing charging limits and most other suggested methods online but to no avail. My last resort is to reinstall Windows 11 but I'm not sure if it would help. My laptop battery hasn't been the...
