Use a cooling pad when using a notebook computer on your lap

Turn off ports. Disabling unused ports and components, such as VGA, Ethernet, PCMCIA, USB, and yes, your wireless, too. You can do this through the Device Manager or by configuring a separate hardware profile (see next step). Create Power-Saving Hardware Profiles.Hp Pavilion dv4 battery Configure your laptop for the various scenarios in which you use it (on a plane, at the coffee shop, at the office, and so on). You can do this through the Hardware Profiles menu by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Preferences or by using a freeware utility such as SparkleXP (for Windows XP users). Configure your display to turn off when not in use. This is different from just using a screensaver, because in many cases a screensaver still requires the display's backlight to be on. You can set the interval to turn the display off in Windows' Power Optionsâ€"found in the Control Panel. If for example one of the eight cells has developed a defect and this can happen very quickly if a cell gets overheated several times (Lithium Ion is very sensitive to heat),Hp Pavilion dv5 battery the total battery pack voltage drops by a few hundred millivolt in a favorable case. In this case the battery indicator will flash in a weird way, but the manufacturer usually fails to document this visual feedback and leaves us in the dark. The only thing we can do, is guess. Laptop computer don't need the full battery voltage to operate properly and I would guess they will still work down to 8 Volt battery voltage.Dell INSPIRON 2600 Battery, Dell INSPIRON 2650 Battery Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery, Dell Inspiron E1505 Battery Most mondern Voltage Regulator need only between 1.4 to 3 Volt higher input to regulate and stabelize the operating voltage of the computer circuitry.Hp Pavilion DV6 battery This is why your computer will still work even if there is a cell or two defective however will not hold a charge for very long since internally the good cells try to level out the defective once. Again, for safety reasons the Micro Controller on the Battery end might decide that it is not safe to allow a charge and the pack is declared to be dead. The only way to bypass this condition, is to manipulate the data that the Battery has collected over time. I can imagine that it is possible to access permanent memory storage devices inside the battery and change certain data cells. This sounds easy, but requires the knowledge of the Hardware and Firmware used in the Batteries Control circuit. It would be much easier to find a Battery supplier on the Internet and (I am sorry to say) flip the bill for an after market battery pack that may be reasonably priced. Pheww, I wish I could have said the above in a one liner, but the subject is far to complex to just do that.
