Hocklez SG

Currently using a acer travelmate. leave the lappy on powerpoint most of the times when i am at home. when i bring it out, the power often run out fast, like within 2 hours time. dono is it normal or not. heard it is quite short battery span.

the problem now is tt i need to recharge it. but everytime i put in on powerpoint state, it jus don charge... how? the battery life is always on 2%, how can i make it charge?

everytime when u use adapter, do you take out ur batt?

when u charge, do u always leave it overnite or use the laptop when it's charging?

taking care of ur batt is very important

maybe ur batt oredi die le

bring to svc centre to check

if i am not wrong, the battery need to be there for the whole lappy to work? i mean the the adapter connect right to the battery. so if i take out battery, i don think i can connect to the adapter.

use the laptop when it is charging. cause it is able to last 2 hours the max if i don connect to the powerpoint.

anyway, the impt thing now is how does the charging system works? it seems like don recharge on its own even when the batt life is so low now. 2%? omg...

Your battery always at 2%? But in actual usage how long you can use with only the batt? 2min die already or you can use up till 2 hours?

Hocklez SG

use like 2 hours ba. but the problem is how the thing recharge? omg.. i am a newbie in laptop... it don seems like it will auto recharge even tho the power is so low now...

usually it'll recharge when you plug in the AC adapter with the battery slotted in. If your laptop does not show that it is recharging, try heading down to the service centre. Probably your laptop battery went bonkers

shld be able to charge when its connected to power point
if not, the batt is faulty or something.

maybe the adapter is faulty, or even dirt might cause problems with charging like my mouse.

maybe battery is faulty.

something is definitely faulty.

If adapter faulty, how does he use his laptop and see that the battery is 2%. Don't make sense correct?

We know something is faulty. Laughing
And it's the darn battery, we can't help in this area.

Adapter faulty, no matter, in less than an hour, his battery would be dead. Obviously, it isn't the adapter, it's the battery.

It will recharge on it's own once the adapter is plugged in. Usually, for a laptop, there are LED lights to indicate what things is for what. For mine, there are 3 LED lights, one indicating whether the laptop is on, one for battery, the other one for wireless/bluetooth. Look for the one that indicates the battery (a battery symbol). If it is charging, the LED light is blinking. Once it's fully charged, the LED light will not blink anymore.

If the LED light is not blinking anymore, yet your laptop keeps prompting you to recharge, the battery is faulty. Bring back to Acer service centre.
