Please excuse the laptop virgin but, got a new battery for it a while ago and it keeps switching itself off, I calibrated the battery, it is better but it still keeps doing it, any ideas please?

Yeah, i seem to be having the same probl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:rofl:

Shafted battery! I had this with a Compaq that I bought years ago, calibrated the battery loads of times but it never worked and I couldn't be bothered to get a new one as I mostly used it on the mains anyway.

I bet ya laptop gets hot ;)

If there ain't enough cool air gettin to the underneath of ya laptop,

it will get HOT and shut down.

 

This may not be the problem, but it is on mine, so try raising the comp up

to let cool air under it, if it works, then thats the problem.

 

HTH

Do they sell Koyos for Laptops ;)

You can get a fan base for a laptop, you sit the lappy on it and it is powered by your usb cable, they are quite good http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-3-FANS-NOTEBOOK-LAPTOP-COOLER-PAD-GREY-E40_W0QQitemZ8724596609QQcategoryZ31534QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

like that one

Yeah that's great but you shouldn't need a fan or any extra cooling for a CrapTop battery, they should do what they say on the tin which is why they are supposed to be portable, Mark trust me, bad battery mate! You got a warranty/guarantee with the Crappy?

Either way get it checked out and if it's a lemon then cain him/her on the feedback, I would. :rofl:

You may well be, was only sayin that thats what happens to mine,

and to try it to rule it out.

Back to the laptop - take a look in the Event Log - it may give some clues as to why it's shutting down.
