Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that battery backup issue.

 

Below I've listed a series of steps that should help your cause: 

  • Video about improving your notebook battery performance 

  • How long does a notebook battery last? 

  • Adjusting notebook battery power plans 

  • Factors that contribute to loss of notebook battery capacity 

  • Recommended notebook battery care practices 

  • Original battery charges slowly, replacement battery charges normally 

  • Special recommendations for embedded (not customer replaceable) notebook batteries 

  • Tips for conserving notebook battery power 
     

For more details, Click here​​​​​​ 

 

I have a few steps listed below that should help you resolve this concern: 

 

Unplug the charger and use the laptop until the battery drains to 15%. 

Turn off the laptop and turn it back on after 30mins. 

Reinstalled Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery under device manager: 
1) In the search box, type, and open “Device Manager”.  

2) Expand “Batteries”.  

3) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.  

4) Click on “Uninstall”.  

5) At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver

11) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there. 

12) Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"

Most likely, the PC is experiencing a major hardware failure. You MIGHT be able to run hardware diagnostics by pressing the Esc key repeatedly and then, when the HP Startup Menu appears, select Diagnostics (usually F2) and let it run.

If that does not work, then there is nothing more you can do by yourself -- and there is nothing we can do because we HERE have no way of diagnosing or repairing hardware problems.

You will need to have the PC physically examined in a service facility by folks that can run their own diagnostics to determine what is wrong with it.

Since your PC is no longer under warranty, then it will cost you up front to have HP examine your PC. If you want to do that, you will have to contact an HP Repair or Service Center to see if they can examine the PC to determine the cause(s) of the problems, if it can be repaired, and an estimate of the repair costs.

If you live in the U.S., here is a link to the HP Service Repair Centers:

If you live outside the U.S., here is a link to HP Service Centers, by Country/Region: https://support.hp.com/in-en/service-center

First off, we are NOT HP Tech Support but only a self-help community forum -- so we have no way of diagnosing or repairing your PC from here.

 

Second, what OS was your PC running? Win7, Win8x, or Win10?

 

We can proceed when you provide the information.

HP RESET

I have had to RESET  Windows 10  on this PC twice after changes to updates and the system. I am hesitating to do it a third time. Last time the "Tech" did not help me back up all my files and I lost all my APPS and pictures I can never recover..... Need to avoid that. Never had this issue with previous PCs.  This time Windows Media Player has disappeared and is no longer listed after Uninstall. Cannot get it back. Other than that, the system still functions. Have been advised to RESET AGAIN! There must be another way to get a Media Player to save my documents and burn CDS. Is there?

Not so long ago, the BIOS on the HP Probook 4540s laptop was updated to version F.68 Rev.A, after which, each time it is turned on, the message is red ME state in recovery mode. The laptop does not slow down, but this inscription infuriates. How can I get rid of it? The BIOS turned off the battery, performed a reset, it does not help. Drivers are all without problems. Windows 7 x64.

Hi,

As long as you install Windows 10 Home 64 bit, you do not need a product key as it is in the firmware. So, once installed and connected to internet Windows will automatically activate. Here is a small guide to install Windows:

 

Download media creation tool from Microsoft on PC (different PC), run and create a bootable pendrive with the OS on it. (there is an explanation on the Microsoft web page on how to create the pendrive). Create the drive with Windows 10 Home 64-bit edition. Windows will automatically activate once installed and connected to the Internet.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

If you choose this option you will need to use the pendrive to perform a clean install of Windows 10. You might need to disable fastboot and secure boot in BIOS (probably not). So, insert the pendrive in the PC and it should boot directly from the drive. If not, turn off the PC by holding the power button. Press the power button and immediately keep pressing ESC until the startup menu appears and then press F9 and choose the pendrive in the boot menu. Once it boots from pendrive follow the procedure to install Windows.

 

When finished installing allow Windows to completely update and find all or most drivers. You can follow this process by going into settings > Security and update > click on Verify for updates. You might need to reboot a couple of times.

 I recommend installing HP support assistant which will help keep your drivers up to date and much more. You can download the latest version from here.

https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html

Once completely updated you can go into device manager and see if there are any missing drivers (there will be yellow exclamation mark next to the device). You can find these drivers and software on HP support page for your product.

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-15-da0000-laptop-pc/20395828/model/23116347/product-info

 

Hope it helps,

David

Alright,thanks a lot.I've tried using the media creation tool before,I'm not sure it was a Home version though.It worked fine until it crashed when I had to enter my internet password,after that it booted me up right into Windows but it would also freeze after a minute or two.I'll make sure to give it a try using the Home version
