For laptops have a friend, I think if you work or at home, do not want their laptops because of failure leading to results of the work or the loss of private documents. How can we prevent the failure rate of laptops to a minimum? What can your Laptop battery consistently and honestly work for you? In fact, as you usually pay more attention under a rarely laptops, some maintenance work and maintenance required, can easily lead to immediate results.

 

Here in the normal course of using the laptop users need to pay more attention to certain issues a brief summary of the hope that our experience can help. Therefore we will first laptop to the attention of new aircraft a matter of daily use to maintain and prolong the life of a laptop and maintenance techniques described in three aspects.

 

First, buying new planes earlier this month so that the new laptop users should be aware is the first battery. Just started using a new IBM ThinkPad T42 battery when the electrical characteristics and use of a period of time after the performance substantially different, mainly reflected in the charging process appear premature end (the phenomenon of false track), washed and post – Power supply is not a sustainable end. As we all know, these problems can be repeated by the user full charge / discharge to be improved to get the best battery performance. Note that although the new battery can be recharged directly led to use, but if the user at the beginning of a bad use, battery performance tends to reach the highest level. In the message you just a new machine, please do not just charge the battery, due to manufacturers of portable plant would be charged a small portion of the battery power for perform functional tests, so you get a laptop, or have some remaining capacity, and ask you to first open the power of the laptop, I’ll post a clean electricity, and then reload it. The general practice is the first row to load and discharge the battery three times before we can allow the battery to fully preheat the real potential to play a show.

 

Said refers here to the charging and discharging of the battery is full the needs of users / unloading of the net, remember, must be completed, put a clean, filled and then is resurrected in a clean place, so repeat 3 times. Then you can use a normal battery. Some laptops were set in the BIOS, it is the function of calibrating the Dell Inspiron E1705 battery, users can more easily take the laptop battery right to maintain a regular basis to get the best battery operable today, congratulations you, your laptop battery can operate in the best condition of batteries.

 

In addition, newly bought laptop, its screen is very fragile, because manufacturers tend to stick a layer of protective film screen to achieve the goal of protecting the screen, this layer of protective film before use is Jiediao necessary, because if you do not Jie will seriously affect the display of images. In the present process requires your attention, and some paste computer screen protection film very tight, the clock must be slower to expose some, along a corner the screen, step by step tear film protector. Do not force too much, too quickly to avoid damaging the screen, so that premature aging of yellowing. Here to remind users of laptops for HSTNN-LB31 battery film screen protector, it is better not throw them in keeping future maintenance of useful, specific practices will be reintroduced later.

 

For the intimate details of the user, you can also seek a protective film screen and make their own decorative paste-like plastic material of the gate as easily be attached to satisfy the location to better care of your love machine. A similar device, we love the Sony, Acer and other details of some of the emphasis on the use of the laptop can also be seen above, while in actual use, we recommend that you try not to take the watches, bracelets and other items to use laptops, because it is very easy to inadvertently remains serious wear the wrist, giving laptops warehouse Daodao scars. In addition, choose a bag for laptop toshiba PA3383U-1BRS battery quality is also very necessary.

 

After all, for most laptops is that they are born to be brought brought in the laptop bag suitable naturally give their most intimate. This is one of the users of the new laptop, perhaps to note that not all laptops first wife of the package are really appropriate. Package and general office is different from a bag really well-designed laptop must first have enough strength and protection of the four sides of insulation layer to support a laptop safe and comfortable “nest of ‘Love. ” Regular Office packages often due to too much room and design of the flexible structure, foreigners can not effectively isolate the backlog, and the collision.

 

Secondly, there should be a reasonable sub accessory office design, such that power must be placed in the laptop compartment near the coast to avoid being inadvertently pressed the power plug when the ‘LCD laptop screen scratched. Meanwhile, the laptop bag should also have some capacity tight.

 

Secondly, routine maintenance, such as laptops portable mobile computing devices, in fact, major manufacturers in its robustness, durability and so apple M8403 battery much has been done, but another solid laptop, also a user in using negligent in the process of failure. So how can we allow users to try to avoid errors in using it daily this section, we discuss the main issues.

 

Screensaver in the previous paragraph, we discussed the movie screen protection, this layer of protection film, we recommend that you do not use the laptop when the paste, use a laptop when the re-Jiexia Lai, so you can effectively protect the external screen chemistry coating, so that the outermost layer of the coating will not prematurely oxidized. Users in the process of using a laptop, do not readily hand to refer to / from the LCD, or touch the screen with a hard object, if you pay regular attention to the words of a time appear on the LCD, such as white and India are not always wipe scars to go to when I really regretted it, and. The new machine package usually with a layer of tissue paper, you can also this layer of tissue paper in between the laptop screen and keyboard, thus reducing the health check between the screen and wear. If your laptop Aspire 3000 battery using the trackpoint, so we recommend you also carries a laptop in a long distance when they come out only able to remove the storage TrackPoint cap to prevent the screen is wound up.

 

Water can be described as a laptop “natural enemy”, in addition to the side of the computer to avoid drinking beverages, eating fruit, it should also be careful not to be stored in damp the machine, the serious moisture damage in the components of liquid crystal display. Note in particular that in the winter and summer, and the output of a heating or air conditioning room, a large temperature difference will cause a “condensation” occurs, the user as when the power electrodes for liquid crystal LCD may also lead to corrosion, resulting in permanent nature of damage. This end, we also recommend that you change the room temperature should not exceed 10 / 10min. Water situation in the case of the screen, if one finds in the trunk before the screen surface haze, wipe gently with a soft cloth and start over. If water has entered the LCD, the LCD should be placed in warmer places, such as table lamps, will gradually evaporate the moisture inside. In rainy season, we should pay attention to on a regular basis for some time to run laptop computers to dissipate the heating element tide, preferably a laptop ac adapter bag can also save a bundle of ‘moisture proof agent, for the love machine to create a good home.

Laptop battery power saving problem

Posted by admin on October 15, 2009
Digital battery / No Comments

Several problems of small portable notebook power can not be ignored biggest advantage is not considered space, the use of anytime, anywhere, which is the reason for each of the laptops is the reason The most important performance in a portable Laptop battery embodied an important factor. Most laptops use the time not too long, then how do the laptops more energy saving has become the key to using a laptop, we now speak of some minor problems the consumer portable power.

 

Thermal

On the surface, cooling pad and energy-saving notebook no connection, in fact, a very close relationship between the two. Laptop because of their small and depend on the natural flow of cooling air is almost impossible, so a large number of them, such as the use of technology by heat pipe cooling, but when temperature is too high, the notebook will boot-up cooling fan to help the San heat. As the device is used in temperature controlled fan, and only when the temperature reaches a certain program will start, so that we can assist Notebook Cooling, the temperature control of a mobile good, you can reduce the temperature controlled fan at startup, so it is difficult not view mobile schedule. When using the laptop to the extent that the use of a well-ventilated, be careful not to let debris blocked cooling holes of the laptop IBM ThinkPad X60 battery, if it is broken into the house and office, friends can stay with preparing a cushion of water (that is, the kind of pour the liquid mats, most people sitting on relatively cool in summer), then use the laptop on mat of water, since water has a high thermal conductivity, we can fully absorb the heat generated by laptops, notebooks, so that kept at a lower temperature.

 

CPU operating frequency

Handling mobile laptops and some desktop CPU and the general use of the CPU is a big difference, the mobile version of the operating frequency of CPU is generally not fixed, it will be with the software to modify the requirements Labor processor CPU frequency, of course, the cost will be higher over the operating frequency of electricity, so try not to run the laptop on the relatively high demands on the software of the CPU, so that the operating frequency of the processor can be controlled to some extent to achieve energy saving versions of tasks.

 

Set Power Management

 

In the Windows Control Panel, you can define procedures for power management, can in general it is set to “Laptop”. I also suggest that we in the display properties screen saver is set directly to “black” and the waiting time is set at 5 minutes, so when we do not operate in a period of time laptops, it will guide black state, which should be other than the screen saver is being more energy efficient.

Some manufacturers of brand name phones generally provide a little more professional software power management, in line with their own laptop to use, they often have specific characteristics: for example, dedicated program management sony VGP-BPS2A battery energy can adjust the speed of cooling fan, you can also disable the non-use of the IEEE1394 interface and Memory Stick slot, so saving energy versions of tasks, IBM program power management can reduce refresh rate of the LCD; management program toshiba battery may be if energy deficiency Direct closure of any of your designated aircraft. The rational use of this software can even be extended from time to portable use.

Hard

For portable hard drive, it is one of the most power-hungry components, so that the state will be read-write power consumption, the program visits more hard disk drives to be more power in normal circumstances not the hard drive to run software on a large scale, and does not use the battery in the disk defragmentation conduct. Laptop users can conditionally, to just increase the physical memory, the system reduces the use of virtual memory, using WIN98 system, if the physical memory of 256 MB, you can disable virtual memory, which would also a good way to power. In addition, you can also set the hard disk stops working hours to enable the hard drive when the time comes to enter the stall condition, please note that this time must be based on the use portable hard drives at a reasonable setting, turn off the hard drive if the weather is too short, the drive may be frequent start and stop turn, this will also affect the lifetime of the disk drive hp Pavilion dv4 battery.

 

Drive

Notebook computer disk device is power-hungry, working at full speed in the disk drive is more than the cost of electricity but also have greater heat, so when we do not long ago, then it would be preferable to CD-ROM CD-ROM taken from the CD-ROM drive. Like most laptops use low-speed 20-speed CD-ROM, usually does not suggest that you use the drive spin-down of software in order to avoid placing too much to read the disk speed of ‘impact. For most CD-ROMs used frequently, the best method is to use virtual drive software on its virtual hard disk, which is the most energy efficient approach.

 

Peripherals

General will be many mobile devices, you can use, but please note that these devices as connected to the laptop, even if the computer does not work use electricity, so when we no need to use these devices the best time to prevent the laptop Aspire 3000 battery was taken down. There are a number of devices such as LPT ports, COM port, etc., will not work, the power consumption of the laptop, if you do not use these ports, preferably in the BIOS to disable it. If your device is the infrared port and wireless card when not in use, you can put them off. Many of my friends using the laptop when they prefer to use an external mouse, for saving electricity needs, preferable to use a mouse for laptop turns on, even if you want to use an external mouse, I suggest not use the optical mouse, because it is the mouse to be more than the usual electric charge.

 

Software

Select the software running in a laptop, we do not have to use certain features comprehensive, but very demanding on system software, we can also choose others who have similar features but a low need for software, as we only need a simple typing, you do not need to use Office XP, its features, while powerful, but requires more system resources, we can use lower version of WINDOWS office2000 just the same with WordPad and Notepad to achieve the same head, how can dramatically reduce the CPU and the hard drive of laptops use a laptop apple MacBook Pro 15 inch battery is also a good way to save.

Laptop battery lasting method

Posted by admin on October 14, 2009
Digital battery / No Comments

1. Read carefully before using the laptop battery part of the maintenance manual;

 

2. The first charge, you need to constantly recharge the Laptop battery to 12 hours and the loop for a full charge and discharge completely 3 times to wake up a new battery;

 

3. If prolonged use of an external power supply, preferably, remove the laptop battery. Many of my friends no attention to this problem, remove the battery without external power does not only affect the battery life, but also allow laptops to become even heavier burden on the heat of shortening the life of laptops ;

 

4. Periodically charge and discharge. Even without the memory effect of lithium-ion battery there is an effect of inertia for some time not to use lithium-ion loss of activity should re-activation. Therefore, if a long time (three weeks or more) without using a laptop or found that the IBM ThinkPad T42 battery charge and discharge time shorter, should be completely discharged, then recharge the battery, usually a month for at least a full charge and discharge 1.

 

5. Best to turn off the notebook when charging, the battery can be fully charged, disconnect the power load in half-way. Charge off charging shorter than the start of over 30% charging time, but also prolong the life of the laptop battery. The best finish for 30 minutes in the fridge before use.

 

6. To prevent exposure to prevent damp to prevent erosion of liquid chemicals, avoid contact with metal objects touch the battery short circuit, etc. happen. Lithium loading and unloading of number of generally not more than 800 times, on a charge, it will shorten life. Suggest that you try to use an external power supply, several times if you use mid-way Plug Power, and the laptop does not disconnect the built-in battery will be the length of battery life shortened by large because each access to external power is equivalent to recharge the Dell Inspiron E1705 battery once. Optimization of power options to set the direction for laptop users, we recommend the use of WindowsXP operating system, of course, if the configuration of the laptop is too low or even no WindowsXP can meet the minimum requirements, it is another matter. There are many reasons, the main point is that the power management device is the most advanced of all computer operating systems, if combined with the Centrino platform, the better. 1.6 GHz Pentium-M load is low below work only in the frequency of 600MHz.

 

If your laptop supports Intel SpeedStep or AMD PowerNow Transmeta LongRun technology, we must remember that the latest drivers installed, to play its biggest utility, Windows XP is automatic, you can follow their own requirements in A1045 terms of performance and able to find a balance. Users can adjust the settings of the most optimized power management

 

1. Do not use a screen saver.

 

2. The power to use the program, select “Notebook”, the text of the time as you need a reasonable framework, the circumstances of each vary, the drawbacks to make mandatory. Overall time to stop the hard drive setting was slightly longer than the stand-point, in order not to affect the life of the hard disk.

 

3. Enter “Power Options” attribute in the “Advanced” reasonable use “power button”, give a big, can also enhance the efficient use of battery life. For example: the phrase “together on a laptop is set to” standby “, which left the laptop for a while, the only power but also the confidentiality of private information is very helpful but not necessary to wait to restart the time. By Manufacturer front line of laptops (such as IBM, Sony, HP, Toshiba, etc.), often provide the best software for energy management, and has some special features: IBM software driver ‘energy reduces the LCD refresh rate; program Toshiba power management in the absence of sufficient direct power off your device in any designated 1, sony VGP-BPS2A battery program dedicated power management can adjust speed cooling fan, you can also disable the non-use of the IEEE1394 interface and Memory Stick, to achieve energy savings of the head.

Detailed analysis of the three errors of laptop battery maintenance and use

Posted by admin on October 13, 2009
Digital battery / No Comments

As the laptop battery belonging to the “expensive consumables, it has sparked much controversy on the use of laptop.

 

With the growing popularity of laptops, notebooks on all aspects of the problems appeared in various media on the largest number of arguments for the proper use of Laptop batteries, notebook batteries of certain items that the use of personal experience, while others claim expert advice, all sorts of stories, the number argument.

 

The author is also a notebook users, although not an expert, but with several years experience in the use of notebooks, the author through a friend recruited dozens of students university using a laptop, so they talk about their experiences on the use of cell phones, coupled with 1:00 on his own experience, summed up what made accessible to everyone as a reference, hope to give each a little help.

 

Argument 1

 

Activating a new battery

 

Point 1: Before you buy a new battery inside, there will be more than 3% of electricity, more than the Dell Inspiron 1521 battery inside the power exhausted, to rest, and reuse of ‘burden of external power. The charging time must exceed 12 hours, three times in order to activate the laptop battery.

 

Point 2: No, the battery for 10 hours of rechargeable battery to activate the activity of the normal load, the method of release for activation.

 

Survey Results: The author investigated 24 students and college notebook users, 18 are the second view and the manner and do not charge the battery for future use can hurt of course, exclude damage to the natural elements. The author himself is also the case when the normal use of a new battery for up to two hours and a half, now two years, the state of the hp 367759-001 battery is still good, still can reach more than two hours, so I was satisfied.

 

The proposed method: I agree with the second hypothesis, based on information available indicates that the activation of cell work should be completed at the factory and a plant cell battery with a capacity of some natural wear to avoid damaging the battery. The activation of the battery must be in no case to protect the circuit can be with its own circuit of lithium-circuit protection, the purpose of this part of the circuit is to prevent the battery charge and excessive discharge usually filled after charging the battery when the indicator light off, the battery can be recharged in electricity, and then you plug the power plug to recharge the battery in the face of what? Available from the battery can be seen on the battery status of any charges, another teaches you offer a simple way to be able to determine whether there during the battery charging, battery charge, where the phenomenon has a fever, when the sony VGP-BPS5 battery is full after one hour (power plug does not fire), you’ll try the battery to see if the battery is still warm, not hot? The result is undoubtedly the cold, because the battery is not charging and discharging state is certainly not the heat. Manufacturers of portable computers in the factory will offer a new battery for more than 10 hours. This sentence may be generated for some users the wrong point of view first, the author of this opinion, should be taken into account that some notebook manufacturers a new user in the battery again when n is not fully capture the skills, just so they can charge directly for 10 hours, which should be the business opportunity.

 

Argument 2

 

Whether to disconnect the power supply external laptop battery?

 

View 1: Use an external power supply when the battery removed.

 

Item 2: Use an external power supply is not necessary to remove the battery.

 

Survey Results: Most students in the use of an external power source, the battery removed, only a few use an external power supply when the battery is placed above, the little marks are used by students of several global brands.

 

The proposed method: In fact, if the toshiba PA3191U-3BRS battery is removed, the conflict has focused on the use of an external power supply when the battery is in charge of question. We must know that the number of loading and unloading of the battery life is directly related to the lithium-General established the number of loading and unloading are fixed number of charge cycles only 400-600 times, especially products modified, but 800 times, once for each rechargeable batteries a step toward retirement. The first argument is simply because they are afraid to use power, the battery will be conducted on the above charge, not only to increase the number of charge cycles, but also cause an overload. The second view is that the battery is full power on the computer using an external power supply will not recharge. In fact, both views have their right side, but also in the wrong place. Because only the views expressed by individuals is not very full after my investigation, many laptop manufacturers taking into account the vulnerability of the stack, and the proceeds added to technology protection battery, and therefore different laptop batteries corresponding brand protection technology pricing is different, as some large companies are doing very well in this area, such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba, Compaq, etc.. One of the most thoughtful consideration is that IBM, the IBM laptop can detect the location of the discharge of the battery, laptop battery ThinkPad only less than 95% of the time will reload automatically. This can play a very good protective effect on the TravelMate 290 battery, held today and many other manufacturers followed. So, as drums, you do not have time to use pull down, because only when the capacity is less than 95% of the time, he is responsible. But even so, if you are prolonged use of computers, or will be removed from the battery to compare well, because the long duration of heat generated when the laptop battery will cause some damage. However, some other “little brand” batteries, may not benefit from such treatment because he was not within the protection technology of the battery. I like to use a certain brand of computers phones if the battery is fully charged to the above, when you use an external power supply has been confirmed at the first charge on electricity, because the storage battery, will wear, can not reach 100 %, while not 100% as long as the power supply connected to the load. Each access to an external power supply is equivalent to recharge the IBM ThinkPad X60 battery once, although only a small charge will be yet. It therefore proposes that we use when the machine according to their own situation, look at the manual laptop, choose whether you want to use an external power supply when the battery removed.

 

Argument 3

 

How to load correctly?

 

Point 1: The battery pack should always be all exhausted, so that consumption of portable computers to automatically stop and then reload it, all must be completed.

 

Item 2: The notebook batteries have a very deliberate use of time to pay attention and use when I wanted to pay extra.

 

Survey Results: Most students said that, needless to the view first, as used in automatic standby mode, then load, but also as the second point of view, it is free. Are generally used when the Dell 75UYF battery must be recharged when the computer has prompted further charge, of course, calls per hour may be set, the default is 3%.

 

The proposed method: In this paper the method proposed with the majority of students is the same. In fact, if the laptop to use lithium or nickel-hydride batteries, metal, these batteries have a memory effect, nickel-hydride batteries has a metal memory effect is very obvious, but there wills memory effect lithium, but his memory effect smaller than nickel-metal hydride Bale. There is no memory effect on lithium-that only exaggerated and irresponsible to do business in advertising, is totally misleading. Well, since the battery has a memory effect, it should be noted at the load point, as far as possible, then run out of charge, but you do not need to say deliberately use the laptop for stop automatically, so that although there is no harm in using them (because the laptop battery has a charge and discharge protection cons and automatic shutdown in general has not yet reached the standards of protection for the laptop battery discharge), but you do not feel tired? In fact, less than 3% of the burden in this way is very good, memories will certainly effect compared to natural wear, there should be nothing. The second count on the charge to view the author is totally disagree and we have already said, if the Laptop battery nickel metal hydride, lithium, which has a memory effect, if in this way, then the battery life will be shortened.
