The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Sony Vaio laptop battery won't recharge

Asked by Royster2 in Handhelds and PDAs

Tags: battery, laptop, my, recharge, sony

I have a problem charging my laptop battery with my PCG-FX105K (battery is PCGA-BP71).

I needed to find the number of the battery for something unrelated, so I took the battery out while the machine was switched on - which you can do, right? I then copied down the battery model # and put it back in. The battery was fully charged when I took it out - now, powerpanel ( a sony battery utility) said the battery was holding -1% charge?!?!? Another utility, Battery Scope, said the battery was at 0%, and in good condition - 0% worn, which it had been since i bought it, charged 82 times in total. It said it would take 54 mins to charge with the computer turned off, but 500 hours when its turned on?

So i turned it off for 2 hours and left it to 'charge'. Turned it back on, still 0%.

A battery pack shouldn't fail like this should it? Ive tried it in the other charging bay in the laptop, the same thing happens. It just says its charging but doesnt.

The battery pack doesnt even get warm any more... and I've just bought it!!

This did once happen before to me - said it was empty when it was full. It started to charge, and the percentage actually went up. Is it possible to over charge them? Coz as the battery was full, the computer for somereason said it was empty - it got to about 60% through charging it again and then all of a sudden it went to 100%...

When the same happened this time, I just thought it would recharge again. But it hasn't. Does anyone have any suggesttions? Like take the battery out and leave it to discharge (if it is full) for about a week whilst not in the laptop? The laptop wont even boot or anything from the battery at all...

Please someone tell me all is not lost.... PLEASE!Start Free Trial
