dunce01 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 THE PROBLEM:The system: Compaq Armada e500 laptop.With battery installed, system will not boot. Remove the battery, and everything is great. Manual check of the battery shows, fully charged %100. Computer check shows the same. Remove A/C system works until battery is discharged, around 25 minutes.Prior to problems, system failed to exit hibernation. The battery was removed, re-installed and everything was great. Changed the power settings, shutdown system normally, would not boot with battery installed afterwards. Any assistance will be highly appreciatedThanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pro1driver Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 check to wires inside of the laptop, maybe some solder came off and a wire is loose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dunce01 Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Thanks for the suggestion Pro..Someone else suggested the same solution, However I believe it may be related to software. What I forgot to mention is, It will not resume from standby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martymas Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 to test your standby disable hibernation.you can go in and enable it later. while your in there see if there is a tab with APM.if there is open it. and check the box enable power management support. marty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
