WMV to AVI Converter: Battery charging issue [Solved]

Battery charging issue

I have a new HP laptop with Windows 7 on it.
When I plug in the AC adaptor it starts to charge then after a short period of time it stops.
It charges for abot 20 seconds then stops for 1 minute and starts to charge again.
I tried replacing the AC adaptor
but it still does the same thing.

Hi,

Check with the Seller and HP's Support for replacement or warranty repairs.
Check HP's Support, their on-line
documentation and drivers, and ask in their forums for known issues where there are others with the same

or similar model.

Other information that might help :
References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.
Check with System maker's Support, their on-line documentation and drivers, and their forums
(if any) for known issues.
Some maker's have issued BIOS and other updates to help with battery
problems.

Control Panel - Power Options - Power Plans - Change plan Settings - check the Advanced
Settings for drain and usage settings (this is how much to be used and not how much or how
long to charge).
Actually what causes a lot of wear on a battery is draining it too low repeatedly.
With today's
systems over-charging is not an issue.

Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery related issues.
Old battery? Unplug power to computer - remove battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
eraser (do not use this if your battery has thin slots - just clean the knife edges that fit into
them and be careful).
Batteries do wear out if old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
Check with the support of the system maker and many of them have on line forums.

Newer type Litium-Ion batteries usually last longer if you do not discharge them below 30%
however on a laptop that will not extend their life that much.
Best is to use A/C adapter
whenever possible.

I use the free version of BatteryBar to monitor my battery.

Yellow box on right side of page to download latest stable version.
