I am getting a little bit worried about my
laptop. It is taking a very long time to shut
down(the screen offs but the power light nd fan are still on). I didn't install anything new and the
longest i've waited for the laptop to shut
down is 30 minutes before I long press the power button for 6sec.

Type "msconfig" after clicking start button and press enter.

Go to startup tab and disable programs you don't need to automatically startup.

Also go to "services" tab and uncheck those services you don't want running automatically except you initiate them.

Pls I need help. I recently bought a battery for a dell vostro 1500. After using for a while it begins to run only on AC power, battery indicator flashes red(four times) then blue(once). The bios indicates the battery is normal and also windows 7 displays "plugged in, charging" when the adaptor is plugged. If unplugged the laptop switches off immediately. Pls has any one encountered and solved this problem?

The battery can't hold charge.

Change the battery

Check the display cable from board to the screen remove and clean the port

Also, try cmos resetting the board. There is a small battery "lithium ion" on the board remove it for 5 minutes and put it back.

Give me feedback

Windows manager? What do you mean

If you can open the system, do it and clean the power jack ports with its connecting legs to the board.

First when you are travelling or going somewhere and you're leaving the laptop behind, its best to remove the batter and keep it seperate.

It could be different things, maybe the power connector is disconnected or dirt is stucked in between the power connector.

Try and dust the motherboard with soft paint brush. Then couple back the system and see if it works.

Hello gememerald, my sister's HP620 refuses to charge! Once its plugged, it indicates that "Plugged in, not charging" and when I got a new charged battery from another HP620 installed, it gives a prompt of "consider replacing battery"!!! Changed adapters but still no change. When the system is OFF and disconnected from the power adapter, the jack indicator keeps flashing in orange. Kindly advice.
