Battery or Electrical Issue with HP

johnsteve12, on Thursday 19 June 2008 à 14:44:25
Hello,



I have been having an issue with my HP dv6405us laptop. A few weeks ago it began having severe power problems. One morning I awoke to find a little bit of smoke coming from it! Before this event and of course ever since, the laptop has been running poorly because of power. Here are the symptoms:

1. Laptop cannot run unless battery is charged. If you try to use just AC it emits a squeel and will not boot.
2. With battery connected, the charging LED remains solid.
3. Windows reports the battery to be "charging and plugged in," when it is on AC but the battery actually losses power.
4. Passes HP Battery Check
5. I ahve replaced botht he battery and the wireless card via recall replacements and the problem has persisted with both the old battery and the new.

It is almost as if the ntoebook is getting SOME power but not nearly enough. The screen will dim and the OS will change the power options when I plug in or disconnect the power supply and if i have it powered off it will charge the battery eventually (went from 0 to 61% charged after being plugged in for almost an entire day).

Any help would be appreciated. I have long suspected the CMOS battery may also be an issue as I occassionally get a Checksum error or will have to re sync time with the time server in order to connect to Windows Update.

Thanks!
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hello



"a little bit of smoke coming from it! "

I have been highly trained by expert technicians. They all have told me that once the magic smoke gets let out, you have big troubles.

Get your personal data off and have it repaired. It could burn down your home at this point.

If its similar to the DV6000, Mine almost melted on my lap.. The problem is that HP's coding for their F.29 Bios Version for these units bites. I though my problem was OS X leopard but when i restored to factory settings it was amazingly worse. Down graded the BIOS version to F.16 and runs perfectly cool. Sorry to hear about you laptop!!
