Please help my dell inspiron can't identify my battery

Hi.
When you mouse over the battery icon, what do you see?
Do you see -"plugged in charging" or "plugged in, not charging" ?

Do you even see the battery icon?

airsaylongcon:

Looks like your install file is corrupt

I bought another CD from a different source and it was still the same error

Pls help. My Pc doesn't boot fast.

The error message points to a corrupt file. Why don't you get the guys you buy it from to install it for you in the market? If it is corrupt they know how to look for a good one

Hhenryy:

I'll Advice you Google the error and see if you'll get a solution, sometimes it might be from the way you're installing it, properly missing some steps.

What the ram size, what's the hdd size, what the remaining space left?

Great questions...
Also, how long has this happen? When did it begin...

What model is your PC?

1G ram. I still have 28Gig left on HDD

It started few days ago. It takes three mins or two before it boot. Hp laptop. Razak5

Free up some space by removing some unnecessary files you can check your recycle bin and delete some stuff there permanently.

Click on start, type msconfig.

A box will come up, click on startup, you will see list of apps you installed like Adobe reader, etc

Untick the box at the front of the apps and click apply, then restart your laptop.

If problem persist, I'll advice you reload the operating system and probably increase your ram to 2gb.

Thanks It now boot fast

yeah the battery icon is visible with the word plugged in not charging

All thanks to udemzyudex.... I was able to resolve my BIOS problem. His contact, Fatai, was very quick and solved the problem in less than an hour. In fact, the guy is a hot cake in that Ladipo
Thanks again bro!

You're welcome.

I have good engineers in minna, Abuja, onitsha, Enugu, PH etc.

And they are good.

OK, since it is dell laptop, look for someone with dell charger, original dell charger and test to see, if it's still giving u the same problem, try it with another battery.

You can go to where you want to buy battery, collect and test. If it doesn't work you return it and if it work then it's the battery then you can pay for it.

But if it doesn't work, still plug in not charging, then you need to see a laptop engineer.

My Dell Laptop started misbehaving 3 days ago, I use it everyday without issues, so on Friday evening I decided to make use to it only to see that all the keys are pressing multiple wrong letters, search Google and YouTube for solution nothing work.

After service yesterday, I put it on only to see its no more typing multiple wrong keys, I was so happy then I detected some keys are not working now. F1, F2, F8 F9, Y G H V B Shift Ctrl etc.

Please what could be wrong and what to do at this stage?

I have restored back, uninstall keyboard driver among others.

Please help.

1. Your keyboard is bad and you need to replace it.

Same issue?

2. Fault from motherboard.

90% of the time, replacing the keyboard will solve it.

Pls my Toshiba satellite p50a isn't detecting battery, I bought a new battery yet still saying the same thing

Battery not detected.
Motherboard issue, I'll advice you take it to a laptop engineer for diagnosis.

I have deleted the BIOS file from the system
I even deleted HP website bookmark from my browser. If there is any way to label the site as spam and prevent me from going there again, let me know

Where in mainland?

Please how can someone be very good in mother board diagnosis... I mean chip level repair... That is where i am having problem...

Do you have any idea how much dis will cost?

falansa:

I'm in lagos but not available for repair jobs now.

I can't really say how much it will cost cos price depends on models and how much the engineer will charge you.

You can contact this number 07044485460 in computer village, tell him from udeme.

Knowing exactly what you're doing is key.

For example.
Knowing exactly where to check for a particular motherboard fault.
For example, every chip requires clock signal, rtc and supplies to work well.

If you know how to read and understand schematic diagram, know how to read ic data sheet, know how to calculate voltage divider, know the importance voltage and signal to make a particular chip work.

Also confidence.

If you want to know more, let me assume you already have experience and want to know more, quote this post.


Modified

Oscilloscope : you must also learn how to use this tool, very very important.
This will help you solve 90% or more of your job.

You will use it to check clock signal, bios chip to know if it is working well, use it to know if a particular pin is working fine and also if the capacitor is filtering current well etc.

How much will I get a HP 8460p HP-12...a double cell battery?

Thanks so much for your advice, i already have the experience, my problem is just tackling motherboard issues, i can do others not related to it.... How much does the oscilloscope cost?
