Notebook Shuts-Off Without Warning when battery is low (Dv6)

[EylonBear]

I would think if it was the battery it would just have a shorter life span not shut off way before 10%. and it does completely shut off. I have the setting for it to sleep at 5% but it doesn't it completely shuts down.

It now has decided to shut off while plugged in and my battery  says 64% charging. so yeah. It shut completely down and I lost everything I was doing.

sir,

     my laptop is hp probook 4510s, when i using system continuosly 4 or 5 hours my laptop will power off suddendly..

what is the problem

Hello Zainul, all manner of problems could cause your laptop to shut down:

a.) Heat! Try turning laptop off and blowing compressed air gently through the ports/vents; I work in the middle east and have literally BEAT(slapped!) my laptop up, down, sideways to loosen gunk, dust, sand etc. It worked wonders, loosened all manner of crap around vents, fan, etc.

b.) If it is heat, after cleaning you can download a temp monitor tool (Google it) that tells you what the temp is at the processor; this could tell you if you need a cooler/fan under the machine, or elevate it with somthing to allow air to cool it more efficiently.

Please try these two steps and let me know how you come along.

Good Luck!

Sort of similar problem here. HP Beats Special Edition 15-p058na laptop throws up low battery warning as defined at 10% but then shuts down almost immediately, i.e. by the time I've found my power lead it's gone to sleep.

I know I can tweak the low battery to a slightly higher value but intrigued why it's not waiting until battery life reaches the critical level of 5%

Cheers, Rob.
