Hello. I am the owner of an asus x551mav-sx943b laptop. Here's a problem today. The battery indicator flashes (red). Blinks when the laptop is turned on cordless and corded. Does not blink when the laptop is turned off and without a cord. In Windows, it says that I have 92% charge and 10 hours left (screenshot attached).
This problem does not seem to bother me, but the laptop will turn off at zero charge, which is probably not good for the battery. Can this problem be solved?

Question: Asus N56V battery indicator keeps flashing

Hello forum users, please help with advice ... Asus laptop N56V, Recently there was a problem - the battery charge indicator flashes almost all the time. Blinks even when the laptop is charged to 100% (battery information from Windows) and is running on both mains and battery power, and when it is turned off and plugged in. According to the manual, it should blink when running on battery power, when the charge is less than 10%. Shortly before that, the notification of a low battery when working without a cord stopped appearing, the informing settings did not change. For example, in battery mode when watching movies, the computer goes into hibernation after about 40 minutes (settings = level of almost complete discharge of batteries: on battery - 5%, the effect of almost complete discharge of batteries is hibernation).

The diagnostic report contains the following information:

Battery: Battery Information
Battery code ASUSTeKN56--52
Manufacturer ASUSTeK
Serial number
Chemical composition of LIon
Long life 1
Sealed 0
Number of cycles 566
Estimated capacity 56628
Last full charge 29707

2 Mistakes also flew out, the second somehow strained - I can’t understand what it is about and how important it is.
1). CPU Usage: High CPU Usage
During the trace, the CPU usage was high. When CPU usage is low, the system consumes less power. To determine which applications and services are using the most CPU, check the CPU usage of individual processes.
Average usage (%) 4.48
2). Hardware power management features: PCI Express Active Power Management (ASPM) mode disabled
PCI Express Active Power Management Mode (ASPM) disabled due to known issues compatibility with your computer's hardware.

Advise whether it makes sense to calibrate the battery or is it pointless and installing a new one is being treated? Thank you very much in advance.
Olya.

Question: LENOVO G570 (LA-6753P) not charging (charging indicator flashes)

Good time dear forum users!

Help plz to understand this problem!

They brought this laptop with a problem - there is no charging (the charging indicator is constantly flashing, it does not start from the battery).
According to the client, the battery is new (ordered from the Internet).

The BATT + voltage gives from 2.5 to 4.5v (walks) with the battery connected (without it, 4.5v is stable).
On the PQ310 key (on G) there is no 10 volts needed to open (sort of).
On the battery connector (1 and 2) millivolts.
When contact 5 is closed on the battery connector (BATT_TEMP) with the battery removed, the BATT + voltage is 4.5v.
There is an EN signal on the charger chip.

Tell me plz ... - where to look (same dead battery or problems with the charger)?

Answer: Does the system see information about the battery? In aida64 for example.

Most laptops use a series of lights to express the state of the computer.

Each indicator has multiple states such as on, off, slow blinking or fast.

They can also switch between different colors (much depends on the model).

Each computer manufacturer uses their own codes to indicate the state of charge of a laptop, but there are commonalities.

NOTE: If you have problems with the charge indicator, the first thing I recommend is to calibrate the battery. How?

Charger

Most laptops show a green, blue, or purple light to indicate that the battery is fully charged.

Many manufacturers indicate that the laptop is in the process of charging by showing a steady or flashing green, orange, blue, or purple light.

If the battery indicator is green, blue, or purple, then the battery is functional, no matter the light color is flashing or not.

If the light is orange, the laptop is most likely in the process of charging.

Battery error

Many battery manufacturers use flashing lights to indicate that the battery is low.

In general, a laptop will rapidly flash orange or red when its charge falls below a certain level, as long as the computer is not plugged into a power outlet.

If your laptop's battery indicator keeps flashing orange or red rapidly, or if it stays red even when plugged into a charger, this indicates a problem with your battery or charger.

Charging indicator in Windows system

If you are not sure what the indicator means, you can check the charging status of your computer in Windows.

Look for the battery icon in the notification area on the taskbar. If on the display icon, there is an electrical connector on the battery, then the battery is currently in the process of being charged or is fully charged.

If there is no electrical plug and your computer is connected to a charger, then there may be a problem with the charger or battery.

The screen will show a red "X" on the battery icon when Windows detects battery problems.

Hover your mouse over the icon to view the current battery level. Then a tooltip will appear with information about the current charge level and state of charge.

Reset

If your laptop battery is not charging, you can fix this problem by doing full reset. Turn off the computer, disconnect it from the charger and remove the battery, .

Follow the computer manufacturer's instructions for removing the battery.

On some computers, you may need to hold down the computer's power button for 30 seconds to reset the battery information.

Install the battery, connect Charger, and turn on the laptop.

Battery Replacement

Over time, some batteries lose their ability to receive or hold a charge.

If your laptop battery refuses to charge, even after removing and reinstalling it, you may need to purchase a new battery.

If your laptop is under warranty, or your computer manufacturer has launched reviews on your computer's batteries, you may be able to get new battery for free. Good luck.

All manufacturers supply their laptops with light indication. On each device, you can find a certain number of LEDs that inform the user about the status of the battery, the operation of the processor and hard drives or about active CapsLock or NumLock keys. However, the most informative is the battery indicator. By blinking, you can determine the state of the battery.

Why is the battery charge light flashing?

The battery status LED has several flashing and color styles. Depending on their combination, you can determine what is wrong with the battery. The trouble is that different models laptops have a completely different indication. But general provisions are similar.

1. The indicator flashes red. This is fine. Such an alarm means that the battery is almost dead and needs to be charged immediately. This is usually accompanied by an operating system message recommending that you plug in a charger.
2. The LED flashes green. This means that the laptop is in standby mode. This usually happens when the lid is closed.
3. The light is solid green. This means that the battery is fully charged, or the laptop is running on mains power and not on battery power.
4. The battery charge lamp flashes when the charger is connected. But this is already bad. There is a problem here. Just not sure what. Both the "charging" and the battery itself may be to blame.

The color indication of the battery, as well as the style of its flashing, may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. But one thing is certain - if the indicator flashes red (or orange) when the charger is connected, then there is a clear problem.

Troubleshooting Methods

The most important thing is to determine what is the reason for the blinking of the light bulb. It is very easy to do this. It is enough to refer to operating system laptop. If the problem is with the battery, then Windows will issue a warning that the battery is damaged. This message will appear in the system tray on the right side. If everything is fine with the battery (according to Windows), but the battery charge light is still flashing when the charger is connected, then the problem has arisen with the charger itself.

If it's the battery, then you can't do anything with it. You will have to buy a new one or change the components to new ones too - you can read about how to do this in the article: laptop battery repair. In the case of charging, things can be simpler. You need to disassemble the charger and "ring" it with a tester. If the matter is in frayed wires, then it is quite possible to fix it on your own. But if a capacitor burns out, then it’s easier to throw out such a charge and buy a new one.

Summary

The display on the laptop is very useful. The battery LED is especially informative. If it flashes in a non-standard color, then be prepared to invest in a new battery or charger. For such behavior of the light bulb indicates a problem.

Most modern laptops use a removable lithium ion battery, providing an average of 3-5 hours of battery life of the device.

After the battery is depleted, just connect the AC adapter to the computer to start charging the battery again.

A confirmation of successful charging of the battery will be the light on the laptop panel, which, as a rule, is a small light bulb with a picture of a battery.

Under normal conditions, this indicator is highlighted in green (blue, yellow) or another neutral color, but at certain moments it may start blinking, change color to red, or even stop burning.

The color indication of the battery, as well as the intensity of its blinking, may differ depending on the brand and model of the laptop, but one thing is intuitively clear - if the charge indicator on the laptop blinks red (or orange), this warns of some kind of problem.

What does a flashing charging light mean? What should I do if the AC adapter is connected laptop battery indicator light is not on? The answers to these and other questions are in our review.

Consider several situations in which the battery charge indicator may blink, including an unusual color:

• At battery life laptop the charging indicator suddenly started flashing red. There is nothing wrong with this - such an alarm indicates that the battery level is approaching zero, and you need to urgently shut down the work or connect the AC adapter to the device.
• On the laptop, the charge indicator is constantly blinking green (blue, yellow) or another neutral color. This can be observed when the device is closed but not turned off.

This indication is not a cause for concern, but only indicates that the computer is in standby mode.

• Battery indicator flashes red when charging laptop. If the battery charge light continues to blink red even when connected to the network through a standard charger, this indicates problems. In this case, the malfunction can be hidden not only in the laptop battery, but also in the power supply itself. To determine the exact cause of the breakdown, you should contact the service center.

Attention! Do not try to open and repair the battery yourself - this is unsafe! Accumulator battery has its own resource (about 1000 charge-discharge cycles), it may be time to replace the battery.

• When the AC adapter is connected, the charging indicator is on, but the laptop does not turn on.

If the device was completely discharged before connecting to the network, then you should wait a few minutes - the problem should disappear.

If the laptop has been charging for a long time, the corresponding indicator is highlighted in the standard color, but the device does not respond in any way to pressing the power button, then there is a high probability that there are problems with the computer's video card. Only diagnostics will determine the exact cause.

What to do if the battery charging indicator on the laptop is not on

As a rule, in most laptop models, the battery charge indicator does not light when the device is running on battery power.

This indicator usually blinks when the battery level drops below 10%. When approaching a critical charge level, the indicator starts flashing orange or red.

If when connecting network adapter the charge indicator does not light up, and charging is not going on, you should check the contact in the socket of the laptop power supply - it is often broken if the device is handled carelessly. You should also pay attention to the cable - it may be damaged.

If laptop battery charge light not on, but at the same time the device is charging and operating normally, then you should check whether the indicator itself is working.
