Battery troubles of laptops : at work and at home
In this week, I'm troubled with battery troubles of my laptops at work and at home.
At work the battery of my laptop suddenly went out of order.
It was no problem as long as I work at my desk, but when I have to results to my boss, the laptop should be driven by battery.
Fortunately, I had the permission to swap the "alive" battery from the laptop not usually used and can work the same as before.
A few days later, battery trouble took place the laptop at home.
My laptop at home use the utility that prolong the battery's life by managing the timing of charging, and not charging when the battery is full.
On that day, however, battery didn't begin to charge even after the battery level is as low as 10 %.
I looked up what to do, but there was not an exact solution.
I unplugged the PC anyway and began to drive by the battery running out.
Some advice said that the utility doesn't allow to begin to charge until the battery level is lowered by 5 point or more.
I also doubted the dysfunction of the battery utility software, so I tried to restart the laptop.
After shutdown, the BIOS told me that the battery is low, and went to setup mode instead of running Windows OS. There wasn't no suspicious setting in BIOS, so I exited and run Windows. It seemed to boot normally, but after failing password authentication, the battery was finally out.
I plugged my laptop to the outlet but it was too late. The battery indicator turned from orange to white. This gave me a hope.
I turned on power again. Windows booted from the start, and after longer time of loading, my laptop was finally in operation. I was relieved to see the message that the battery began to charge.
