battery

Hello everyone. My brother has been buying Macs for many years and is very comfortable with them. Currently his Mac has become slow and for work he needs some programs that only work on Windows ... so he was thinking of buying a new Mac and emulating Windows on top of it (I don't remember how to...

I used my laptop earlier this morning and it was fine. The next time I went to use it it wouldn’t turn on. I plugged it in and the charging light came on for a minute then turned off. I took it apart and unplugged the battery and reconnected it. I’ve gotten it to boot to windows twice but each...

My laptop battery has swollen (battery model: L17M3PG2, 11.52V / TYP 4955 / 57 Wh MIN 4840 mAh / 55W). I took the battery out for safety reasons. I could not find the replacement battery (not even some third party battery) because this battery is non removable and has a cable to connect it to...

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...

Does disabling the touchpad on a laptop via Windows not save any battery life? Apparently, it works by measuring changing capacitance and "disabling" it will only stop the mouse from moving. Since the touchpad is always sending inputs regardless of being disabled or not, will disabling it...

Hello, So my laptop is a Dell XPS 17 9700 and recently I've had this issue where the laptop's fans would keep running even when the laptop is in sleep mode, and since I put my laptop in my bag, it heats up like crazy. Today was my worst experience yet, the laptop became so hot that I could not...

Hello, I know that if I use e.g. an external keyboard with the laptop, it will eat the battery. But what about this situation: I have an external device connected (perhaps the keyboard), but I'm not using it. Is it eating battery? If so, is this the case for all devices? Let's say I have...

Pretty much what the title says. You can see the new battery here: View: https://i.imgur.com/9NJf2CO.jpg There's "bulging", but only running across a narrow strip of the battery, roughly over where the black loose band/strip and white foam(?) bar are beneath what I assume to be an outside...

Hi A few months ago I had my Razer 15 battery replaced my a computer repair guy. Suffice to say, he overcharged me and clearly didn't do a good job - but that's irrelevant. The Issue: Most of the time, I have to plug in my laptop to use it. The battery reads "100%, charging", but when I...

I have my friend's Asus G751J which was a relatively unused hand-me down from this older lady who didn't need it. I'm not sure if it was refurbished because it used a Dell charger. Anyways, its main problem is that the display shows it's rapidly switching between Charging and Battery while...

In March 2022, my 4 year old MSI GP62 8RE stopped booting on battery power. It would go into boot loop which forced me to use the AC adapter to use the laptop all the time. But for the past few weeks when I'm using the laptop on AC power it will randomly restart out of nowhere. My battery...
