Replacement Battery

Question:”I think my Dell XPS 15 have a problem in it’s battery. What happens before was whenever I use it for 15mins the battery meter shows not charging. When I unplug and re-plug the adapter it shows battery charging on the dell xps 15 laptop battery meter but for just few seconds.

Right now I think my problem just got worse. It doesn’t even take 15mins for my laptop to be on that non charging stage. The blue light quickly turns off when I try to connect it to the laptop…

I know that Ill be replacing either my batter or dell laptop AC adapter. I just want to make sure which should I replace”

Answer:”Laptop battery problems are quite common among owners of all brands of notebooks. On average, laptop batteries last one to three years. Their exact lifespan depends on several factors, such as how much you use the batteries, the number of charge-discharge cycles and the quality of the batteries. Lithium-ion batteries begin to lose the ability to hold a charge over time. Before you replace a laptop battery, consider that there may be other reasons that the laptop is not working properly. You may be able to recharge the battery instead.

Instructions

1.Determine if the laptop battery is defective. While less than 1 percent of batteries are defective, the possibility is still there. If the battery is new and only charges some of the way, it may just require a BIOS update to charge fully. New batteries that refuse to charge at all may be defective. Purchase a new laptop battery to replace the defective one.

2.Test the laptop power adapter to see if it’s faulty. Run the laptop directly from the laptop power adapter and without the battery. If the laptop does not work with the adapter plugged in, the adapter is dead and you will need to replace it. The dell xps 15 battery may refuse to charge if the adapter is faulty. Charge the battery with the laptop turned off.

3.Insert the xps l502x battery into another laptop to test it. If the dell laptop battery charges in another laptop, the laptop’s motherboard may be bad. Replacing a motherboard in a computer can be very expensive. If the cost to fix the computer is not worth the cost of replacing the motherboard, consider purchasing a new laptop.

4.Reinstall the battery for dell xps l702x to ensure all connectors latch properly. The latch mechanism that holds the laptop battery should click into place. If the latch does not close, remove the battery and examine the compartment for signs of damage.

5.Troubleshoot the BIOS to determine if there is a hardware problem. Turn on the laptop and immediately enter BIOS setup by holding down the “Del” and “F1” or “F2″ keys, depending on the make and model of the laptop. When the BIOS screen appears, see how long it takes for the battery to charge down. If the battery does not last as long as the BIOS setup, a hardware failure may be the problem.”

When Dell laptop batteries won’t charge, the most common culprits are a damaged power cord or a battery that needs to be replaced. The power cord provides power to the laptop and charges the battery, so if it’s not working it will not charge the battery. Dell laptop batteries only have a life expectancy of 12 to 24 months, after which the battery loses efficiency or the ability to charge. When this happens, the battery needs to be replaced. Simple troubleshooting can pinpoint the cause of the problem.

1 Remove the Dell laptop battery. Ensure the laptop power is turned off and the laptop is unplugged from all additional power sources. Slide the battery release mechanism on the bottom of the Dell laptop while lifting the battery out of the battery bay at the same time.

2 Check the Dell 127VC battery for damage. Dents, dings, corrosion and mangled battery contacts can all cause the battery to work or charge improperly and can lead to laptop fires and internal damage. Damaged Dell batteries must be replaced.

3 Plug the dell power adapter into the Dell laptop outlet and an electrical outlet. Power the laptop on. Should the laptop fail to power on, the power adapter is incorrectly working and should be replaced. A laptop powered by the adapter indicates the power adapter is properly working. Power off the laptop and unplug the power adapter from the laptop.

4 Put the Dell battery back into the dell inspiron 14z laptop battery bay by pressing it into place. Re-insert the power adapter for eight hours so the battery charges.

5 Remove the power adapter. Power on the Dell laptop. Should the laptop fail to power on, the battery did not charge and should be replaced.

Whether the voltage output of the power adapter failure, incorrect output, poor contact, shell cracking, leading to laptop adapter shop power adapter failure the following categories: power environment does not meet the requirements, physical damage, incorrect use, and other environmental adverse

Reasons:

The power environment does not meet the requirements: unstable power supply guide inside the Dell PA-12 power adapter switching transformer components often subjected to the impact of failure, resulting in no output power or output incorrect power adapter can be adapted to a certain voltage range, but often fluctuate power environment, the voltage adapter can also cause varying degrees of damage; does not meet the requirements of the power supply will not only damage the power adapter itself, but also cause damage to other parts of the laptop.

Physical damage: many power adapter failure is the power adapter is often dropped or bumped due for notebook power adapter, are most vulnerable parts of neglect, this collision will not only cause the shell to crack, and sometimes there is no obvious damage in appearance the case, the internal components have been hurt; components due to collision-induced displacement or pin loose, resulting in functional failure of the Toshiba PA3714U-1ACA power adapter, power adapter soon after powering on or in use burned.

Use is not correct: notebook cable smaller, often stuck or caught in the cracks in the tables and chairs, if the gap is too small, with the passage of time will lead to the cable damaged or in the case of the appearance of non-destructive internal short circuit, open circuit ; when not in use or move the computer, often the power adapter body and cable entwined incorrect winding way, will lead to the Sony VGP-AC19V19 power adapter cable with the adapter body occupies a position this paragraph damaged, cause visible damage, short circuit, there is no significant change in appearance, and internal short circuit, open circuit; these reasons lead to power adapter failure, the severe burning power adapter; Some use a fixed environment or have more than one power adapter users, power adapter plugged in, disconnecting the power for a long time, it is neither conducive to environmental protection, will also affect the life of the power adapter.

Other adverse environment: high temperatures or humidity (especially some of the ground of the room more humid) environment using the power adapter, the internal device will overheat and malfunction or moisture short-circuit, resulting in power adapter disabled, burned.

Suggested Use:

Do not use the power adapter to the notebook computer power supply (can be battery-powered) in the case of an unstable power environment. In addition, after finished using laptop, in addition to the normal to the laptop battery charging, disconnect the power adapter and the mains connection, so that environmental protection is also conducive to the protection of the Lenovo ADP-90RH B power adapter. Not using a laptop during the night, the night power supply voltage is usually higher than the supply voltage during the day, potentially damage the power adapter.

Move or do not use the Liteon PA-1650-02 power adapter, cable and power adapter sequence should be stacked together, and then fixed in the power adapter at both ends of the main body, the length should grow 4-6 cm each is appropriate, too short or the power cable wrapped around the power adapter on the body, in fact, the damage to the power adapter.

Using a power adapter, do not often be placed on the ground as much as possible the power adapter on the table; power adapter should be cherished, do not often subject them to shock, especially in the the power adapter hotter or lower temperature case should attention.

Buy a notebook, is not on the notebook, such as their other half to take care of it? I believe that just bought. Many people only relationship like the computer system. Laptop battery you care about it?

Notebook battery maintenance began:
Step / methods
1.When power is connected, the Dell Inspiron 14Z battery can pull or not to pull, pull, pull depends on actual usage: do not disconnect the battery while connecting the DC power battery and does no harm, because the battery is not fully charged will no longer accept any power injection, power will all turn directly to the power supply system of the notebook. But when the high-speed operation of the notebook, internal overheating is best to remove the battery, otherwise it is harmful.

What to do when Laptop battery have problems

Laptop battery problems how to do? I believe, for notebook users, laptop battery problems are very eager hand thing, because they do not know the laptop battery problems how to do. This, Staercke Xiaobian specially for everyone this make the introduction.

Most models battery protection circuit, when the hp pavilion dv7 battery temperature is too high or too large discharge current, it may be because beyond the battery protection circuit operates standard battery automatically force power outage occurs.

The most common situation is that the dell inspiron 1564 battery when running at full speed causing overcurrent protection automatically. For example, from the CD-ROM drive, a DVD disc content acquisition into a mobile hard disk, when the host and peripherals in a large number of power consumption, it is possible to make the current standards of protection beyond battery, encountered such a situation do not panic, as long as disconnect peripherals to wait about 10 minutes to reboot.

Another common situation is a laptop using the dell inspiron 1545 battery in a hot environment, high-load operation, so that the ambient temperature plus battery self-discharge heat generated may exceed the preset temperature of the battery protection circuit, this case is especially high clocked P4 after the high-speed operation of the high-temperature environment, the machine may occur. Encountered such a situation should remove the battery is placed in the lower temperature (remember not the refrigerator or frozen!) Should be able to return to normal after half an hour. Damage to the high temperature for the lithium battery is relatively large, not a last resort should avoid high-load use laptops in the high temperature environment.

In order to maintain the BIOS state, many dell xps m1530 battery calibration option, in simple terms, the battery is fully functional laptop will be completely dead, and then again full discharge to such accumulated error caused by the long-term is not completely discharged There are certain correction effect. Please note that the correction of the time spent in the BIOS, if you do this best in before going to bed.

Many models also have functionality in Windows discharge. This can save time, edge work they corrected. dell-studio-1555 battery correction will not be too frequent, frequent deep discharge make the battery life shortened, it is recommended that two to three months to do it once.

Question:””Your battery is temporarily disabled. Please turn off your computer and try again when the unit is back to the operational temperature””

Answer:”If removing and reconnecting the battery did not help,try updating the BIOS on your system using this link below :

http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/xps-15z?driverId=2M3N1&osCode=W764&fileId=2731104281

Note:While updating BIOS the replacement dell AC adapter should be plugged in and battery should have more than 10 % charge.Also disconnect all external peripherals (such as USB devices) from the system.

If the issue persists even after updating BIOS and if the system works fine,without shutting down only with the AC adapter connected(without the battery),than you will need to get the xps 15z battery replaced.System battery comes with one year of warranty.”
in addition,pls Pay attention to Dell XPS 15Z battery maintenance:

Dell XPS 15Z battery life not by the length of the total use of time, but by the charge and discharge times to decide. This dell 15z notebook is the importance of maintenance. If you always to the laptop without the battery installed to take down, even if the machine off and remove the AC power after the battery is not like the thought kept as fully charged state. because the Dell XPS 14Z battery in the integrated control circuit, so even when the power is also turned off the computer power. As one connected to AC power, the battery will start charging, when on or off, your Dell laptop battery is repeatedly charged and discharged will affect dell 1525 battery life.

Therefore, when using the AC external power supply is best to unplug the xps 15z battery, laptop battery for a long time in the heat or the state of their life affected. To maintain the battery for the long term do not, charge and discharge at least once a month to ensure that its activity. In the custody of the battery when there is a need for attention.Currently, the vast majority of laptop lithium-ion batteries used in a long time if not used, often prone to over-ischarge phenomena, may no longer be able to charge laptop batteries. In order to prevent over-discharge, charge state in half to save it in a cool dry place, and then every six months, then half of its electricity to the state of charge.
