Dell Studio 1535 Laptop battery not charging
Dell Studio 1535 Laptop battery “plugged in, not charging”
Question:“I have a Dell Studio 1535 laptop, and when i have the battery charger plugged in, the dell studio 1535 battery icon says “0% available (plugged in, not charging)”, and if i pull out the cord, the laptop shuts down straight away. Can this be fixed, and if so, how? I bought this laptop new around 6 months ago. Anyones help would be wicked!”
“Dell may well have knowingly sent you a faulty ac adapter. This is an issue many have suffered from. My laptop has all my work and school documents. When I accidentally move the cord like you mentioned, the whole computer shuts down like crashing and I lose all of my data. Not to mention these crash shut downs will harm my 1 yr old laptop.
I haven’t found a solution to this problem yet. I’ll definitely post it if I do. At this point, in an effort to promote accountability on Dells part and consumer advocacy I’m going to every complaint and tech site I know of to warn others. Dell should have been upfront as they knew of this design flaw. ”
Answer:“Understanding dell studio 1535 battery charging issues
If the notebook battery is not charging or the notebook does not indicate that the battery is charging, the most likely scenario is that the battery itself is operating correctly, but its power management software may have become corrupt. In order to correct the problem, you will need to uninstall and reinstall the power management software by using the Device Manager. This document will explain how to uninstall and reinstall the ACPI Battery listings in Windows Vista, as well as how to obtain and install updated BIOS files, if needed to correct other dell studio 1536 battery issues.
Uninstalling and reinstalling power management software in Windows Vista
In order to correct problems with the battery’s power management software, follow the steps below.
1. Click Start and type device in the search field, then select Device Manager .
2. Expand the Batteries category.
3. Under the Batteries category, right-click the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method dell studio 1555 Battery listing, and select Uninstall .
WARNING: Do not remove the Microsoft AC Adapter driver or any other ACPI compliant driver.
4. On the Device Manager taskbar, click Scan for hardware changes .
Alternately, select Action > Scan for hardware changes .
Windows will scan your computer for hardware that doesn’t have drivers installed, and will install the drivers needed to manage your dell studio 1735 battery‘s power. The notebook should now indicate that the battery is charging.”

HP Compaq NC8430 Laptop Battery Question And Answer
Tell me please, should I remove the hp compaq nc8430 battery if the notebook is on AC mainly and just about once or twice a week on battery power?
And some other essential questions:
1) As I know, full discharge of Li-Ion battery is harmful for it – so I think that 3% charge shown by Windows or HP laptop Battery check is about 20% of real, physical charge-so full discharge is impossible- am I right?
2) When I turning my notebook off for the night time, I unplug the hp compaq nc8430 charger off the AC too – is it right?
3) So, when the notebook is off or hibernated it shouldn’t consume any power, but when I turn on the notebook after night – the charge level is not full – (I guess that that it’s a normal physical process somthing like internal resistance or else) – but when the AC is back, the battery begins charging – so if this miserable charge counts by the hp nc8430 battery controller as a new lifetime charging cycle or not?
4) Maybe it is more reasonable to keep the notebook always on AC without removing the battery and the controller will switch the charging device off when the battery doesn’t need any more of charge? But wouldn’t it decrease the battery’s total capability faster?
5)Is it important – how many percent charge left in laptop battery when I begin charging it? Or I should discharge it by the time the notebook switches off and can’t start?
Maximum compaq nc8430 battery life results from keeping it cool – and at below 50% charge when not in use. When it’s in the laptop, it should chage to 100% and may remain warm after charging as a result of heat from the machine itself. So the answer is yes – except that if you need to use it on battery power a couple of times a week, you’ll need to remember to reinsert it to get it fully charged before relying on battery power.
1) The battery will automatically stop itself from discharging at a “safe” voltage.
Full discharge is not impossible – it will happen but very slowly over time if the hp compaq nc8230 battery is stored – due to natural discharge internal chemical reaction and the fact that it is powering its internal electronics
2)Unplugging the ac adaptor is fine as a safety measure, (possible fire or night-time lightning strikes to the power cables) but is not otherwise necessary . If you don’t have a battery fitted, then auto wake-up (eg for incoming fax) won’t of course be available
3. Yes – there is small power consumption on hibernate, from the battery if ac power is unavailable. It’s still connected to the power arbitration circuitry. But the small recharge does not to my knowledge count towards the lifetime cycle count.
4. Personally, I think the fact that the 8510p battery is held in a full state of charge and kept warm will have a greater effect on its life.
5. A properly working battery will measure input and output watts, keeping track or and reporting its charge state. With many short and shallow discharge cycles, its knowledge of its charge state will drift from reality but will otherwise not do any harm. A discharge to 5% or less while working normally follwed by a full recharge should recalibrate the hp 8710w battery. There is no need to discharge to the switch-off and can’t restart stage, although the deeper the discharge, the more accurate should be the calibration.
Having said all of that, it only takes one cell to fail – or a problem in the battery’s internal control system – for the battery to fail completely – and one of these events is more probable than an end of life on cycle count. Consequently, in your position of needing battery power a couple of times a week, I wouldn’t bother taking it out at all – unless your machine keeps it unduly warm.

How to repair a battery that can’t be chargering anymore
How to repair a battery that can’t be chargering anymore?
Sometimes you CAN “rejuvinate” a rechargeable dell xps m1530 battery that doesn’t want to take a charge anymore. You first need to have a basic understanding of WHY the battery is not taking the charge in the first place.
As a battery is used/charged/recharged, it develops little “hairs” of chemical that create an electrical link between the positive and the negative parts inside. This is, in effect, a short circuit inside the battery. If you are trying to recharge the battery, it appears to be charging, but once you take the charger off, there’s still no juice available. This is because of this “short” inside the battery.
I had four rechargeable laptop batteries for an old laptop, and this procedure worked just fine on them. Just note that this does NOT work every time. In my opinion, for every 10 batteries you ‘rejuvinate’, you may end up tossing 3 of them in the garbage! But then, what have you got to lose?
Basically, you will be “burning” out those little “chemical hairs” with a reverse charge.
You will need access to an automotive battery, and a pair of booster cables. You will need to determine the polarity of the dead vgp-bps2c battery …. Which is the positive tab, and which is the negative one on the battery?
Please note that I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for injury or damage to anything! You do this at your own risk. Read the instructions below BEFORE you do any of this!
Do this OUTSIDE, and wear safety glasses and gloves! You can never be too careful!
Put the booster cables onto the automotive battery. The red goes on the Positive (+), and the black on the
Negative (-). Make sure the other ends of the booster cables don’t touch one another. Very similar to boosting someone’s car that won’t start, except we are going to do something different!
Now take your dead hp dv2000 battery, and lay it so you can see the Positive and Negative tabs on it. Best to leave it on the ground, or a flat spot somewhere, rather than hold it in your hands.
What we do next is to apply a very FAST, REVERSE CHARGE from the automotive battery to the dead computer vgp-bps8 battery. The thing to note here is that it is a very quick, fast reverse charge. DO NOT CLAMP the booster cables to the dead battery!
Take the black, Negative (-) booster cable lead, and hold it onto the POSITIVE (+) tab of the dead battery.
Yes, that’s right. It’s backwards. This is half of the job.
Now, take the Positive (+) booster cable lead, and TAP it ONCE on the NEGATIVE (-) tab of the dead laptop battery, and remove it immediately! DO NOT HOLD IT IN PLACE!!!! Your connection here should not be a connection, but just about as long as it takes for you to blink your eye quickly. A QUICK TAP! ….. ONLY DO THIS ONCE!
You may be tempted to do this again, because it might look like nothing happened! DON’T! …. What you just did is apply a very big amount of reverse current to the old dead cell, even though you didn’t see anything. (at most, you may see a small spark). Hopefully, this was JUST enough to burn the ‘chemical hairs’ off, but not enough to damage the cells in the dell inspiron 1520 battery. That’s why it is important not to hold the lead on for more than a 1/10 of a second, and not to try doing it again.
Remove all leads, put your automotive cell and cables away. Try charging your ‘dead’ sony vgp-bps8 battery now. If the above procedure did indeed ‘fix’ your sony vgp-bps9 battery, it will behave JUST LIKE A NEW ONE!
If not, you can repeat the above procedure a couple of times, and try recharging again.
Works for me!
Just be careful. If you are not technically inclined, have someone who IS give you a hand. Just have them read this before THEY do anything either!
I must say this again – you do the above at your own risk, although I never had any problems doing this myself, I can’t be responsible for anyone else!

Dell Vostro 1400 Charger Problems
Question:”My Dell Vostro 1400 charger stopped charging awhile ago, the dell vostro 1400 battery level stays at 74% for some time now. I don’t know why. I try taking out the battery and only use the charger for my Dell laptop and it works. So I thought the problem would be the battery, but getting a new laptop battery doesn’t fix the problem. What should I do?”
Solution:”
I believe your problem is the charger because Dell has a build in mechanism to make sure the laptop ac charger is Dell before allowing it to charge the battery. However, even if the charger is Dell, if the identifier chip inside the charger is broken, the laptop would refuse to recognize the charger and stop charging.
You can follow this Dell’s troubleshooting guide to try to get the laptop to recognize the dell ac adapter. The troubleshooting guide is a bit outdated though, so I don’t know if it applies to your laptop.
http://ftp1.us.dell.com/diags/R66243.htm
If the troubleshooting does not work, most likely, you will have to buy a new dell battery charger since the laptop cannot identify the charger as Dell anymore. However, before you buy a new charger, borrow someone else’s charger to make sure it will charge the laptop and that is the problem for sure. I wouldn’t want you to waste money on a part that is not necessary. Furthermore, seeing that buying a new vostro 1400 battery does not seem to solve the problem, I think that you can return the battery unless you want to keep it.
If you do have to buy a new charger, I would recommend buying one from www.laptop-battery-adapter.com. because they offer lifetime warranty and free shipping to all chargers at a good price. I think it is definitely worth it to consider buying charger from them.”

DELL VOSTRO 1510 Battery Iussue
Question: “I am getting a dell vostro 1510 battery error message in a red cross X “There is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly”. . Battery charge upto 100% but its duration is very low and I have to recharge it again and again after 20 minutes.You upgraded your laptop from XP or Vista to Windows7. You know that the dell laptop battery is good. But now you are getting this error message. What do you do?
I know for a fact that the battery is good. It works fine in Vista, its only about 4 months old, it lasts 2 hours +, and even in Windows 7, it will last for the same time period as it did in Vista.
People have been saying (as well as microsoft) that it is the BIOS and it needs to be updated. Well, I did obtain the latest BIOS from LG, which is dated in 2009, and that didn’t change anything. I’m concluding that it is NOT the BIOS since vista reported the estimated time left of the vostro 1510 battery just fine, even before the bios update, and I have the latest BIOS.
I ran the powercfg -energy command and it says that windows was not able to determine the capacity of the battery, yet if I go and install the LG batery application, it will tell me all the information about the laptop battery.
I even went as far as to try my friend’s battery which is less than 3 weeks old, and it still gave the same error messages.
Please Microsoft, fix this issue, and if you can’t, then give the users an option to take off/disable/supress the blinking X that is on top of the power tray icon, and to remove both the “Consider replacing your battery” and “There is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly” messages so we don’t have to see that every day, since the battery is in fact GOOD and works properly.”
Solution:“dell vostro 2510 Battery management in bios has the possibility to change for 3 values: charge to 50%, charge to 100%, charge maximum. I used the 50% value for testing purpose and could read exact 50% availabilty in the battery status. Then changed to maximum since 100% is bios default. None the better. Now I can read 100% available, and “you should change your battery” while mains is plugged in.
Unplugging the mains adapter gives me the blinking little red cross and the “consider replacing” message.
Since battery drivers are Windows system drivers I won’t find updated drivers on LG’s support site.
I looks like a bad calculation of lifetime/-cycle values of batteries.
By investigating this issue I came across 2 numbers (sorry, I don’t remember if it was Windows or a software tool). These two numbers differed by factor 10. One value was “designed for …” and the other “actual …”. If these values are calculated for a lifetime expectation bei Windows 7, my dell vostro 1400 battery is bad indeed.
I believe this battery tray thing a little bit buggy. I will check with our Microsoft Technical Account Manager next time.”
About “Consider replacing your battery. There is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly.”
The dell vostro 1500 battery life issue on Windows 7 actually dates back to June 2009, according to the forum thread. At the time, Windows 7 wasn’t yet released, but the issue was apparently in both the beta and Release Candidate builds. Apparently the problem wasn’t widespread enough for Microsoft’s quality control team to fix it in time for the RTM build compiled in July 2009, though some users say they’ve only started to notice the issue with the RTM build and that beta builds worked just fine.
Windows 7 was supposed to extend dell vostro 1500 laptop battery life on notebooks, and in almost every case it certainly has. Nevertheless, there are always a few users who have issues. Microsoft’s stance is that the root cause of the issue is related to specific system firmware, meaning it only affects machines with certain BIOS releases. Judging from the forum thread, however, customers disagree with Microsoft’s explanation since the problem appears to affect notebooks from more than just one OEM, and some claim their vendors have informed them that it’s a Microsoft problem. The phrase “class action lawsuit” is mentioned by three different posters so far; users are getting impatient with the software giant as it fails to give a timely official response. Microsoft has sold more than 60 million copies of Windows 7, and it’s not clear what fraction of those owners are having problems with dell vostro 1400 laptop battery life.
