HP Laptop Battery Troubleshooting Tips

There are a wide range of problems that can occur in a HP netbook battery. If you believe you are having issues with your HP mid battery, take a moment to step back from the situation and look for obvious solutions. If none exist, these troubleshooting steps will help you identify the problem and determine your course of action to rectify the situation.

Read Your Manual

Many laptop manuals have details on extending the battery life for your computer. Many laptops manufacturers suggest that you fully discharge the battery once per week to help maintain the battery life.

Wall Plug

Try plugging another device into the wall plug being used to charge your HP laptop. The issue could be as simple as charging your computer from an alternate wall plug if the current one if malfunctioning.

Power Jack

Verify that the power plug is properly connected to the unit by unplugging it from the computer, checking for any debris in the connector, and plugging it back in.

Inspection

Remove your HP notebook battery from the laptop and verify that there are no debris in or around the connections and that the battery still fits snugly into the unit.

Health and the sex ratio: A healthy relationship

2010-08-19T00:17:00.000-07:00

Health and the sex ratio

A healthy relationship

The mere presence of women seems to bring health benefits to men

FOR hormone-addled teenagers, finding a date can often seem to be a matter of life and death. As it turns out, that may not be so far from the truth. In a paper in the August issue of Demography, a team of researchers led by Nicholas Christakis of Harvard University reports that men who reach sexual maturity in an environment with few available women are at risk of dying sooner than their luckier confrères. The team points out that this finding may have important implications for public health in countries such as India and China, where sex ratios are skewed against women.

The idea that a dearth of available women hurts male longevity has been around for some time. There are several reasons why such a hypothesis makes sense. It is now well established that marriage has a beneficial effect on health and survival. Since women are traditionally the caregivers, these benefits accrue especially to men. If there are fewer potential mates around, men may delay marriage or forgo it entirely, losing out on these nuptial niceties. In addition, with more men and fewer single women, the intense competition for a mate is likely to be stressful. Such early-life stress is known to have effects on health that can last for years.

As reasonable as it all sounds, the hypothesis that a skewed sex ratio leads to shorter male lifespan has never been confirmed in humans. To put it to the test, Dr Christakis and his team made use of two unusual sets of demographic data. The first, known as the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, consists of a third of all those who graduated from high school in the state of Wisconsin in 1957—about 10,000 people. The male-to-female ratio in each person’s graduating class is known, and provides an indicator of the ratio during the sexually formative years of the study’s participants. The second set of data consists of 7½m white men who were enrolled in America’s Medicare programme in 1993. The researchers found the year and state in which each participant’s Social Security number was issued, which typically happened between his 15th and 25th birthdays. The sex ratio of his contemporaries was then calculated from state-level census data.

In the Wisconsin sample, Dr Christakis looked at those who had died before their 65th birthday. For the women, there was no significant relationship between their school’s sex ratio and their age of death. For the men, however, a significant relationship did emerge. A percentage-point increase in the male-to-female ratio of a man’s graduation class led to a percentage-point increase in his likelihood of dying before the age of 65. The Social Security data, moreover, suggest that a lack of women during men’s teenage years still haunts their health decades later.

The average white American male who was 65 in 1993 could expect to live another 15 years. Dr Christakis found, however, that those who had come of age around the most available women had a life-expectancy three months longer than that of the least favoured. Three months may not seem a huge difference, but according to Dr Christakis it is comparable to the benefit an elderly person can expect from exercising or losing some surplus weight.

In an American context, these results are, perhaps, no more than an interesting curiosity: at the age of 15, boys outnumber girls by about 4% and the ratio shrinks towards equality thereafter. In China, however, it is estimated that there are now 20% more men of marriageable age than women—the result of selective abortion and infanticide consequent upon the country’s “one-child” policy. That bodes ill for the future health of China’s menfolk.

China's lucky man bags Volvo

2010-08-19T00:08:00.000-07:00

Face value: Li Shufu

China's lucky man bags Volvo

Has the founder of Geely, an upstart carmaker, got what it takes to revive Volvo?

Safe car; risky betLI SHUFU, the chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, China’s biggest privately owned car firm, and from this week of Sweden’s Volvo Cars, likes to describe himself as the Henry Ford of China. There are some similarities. Both men began life down on the farm and both quickly discovered they were more interested in engineering and building businesses than ploughing fields.

Unlike Ford, however, who grew cranky and anti-Semitic as he aged, the 47-year-old Mr Li seems admirably grounded. Although one of China’s richest men, he dresses inexpensively and lives in a modest Beijing apartment. In conversation, he smiles and chuckles frequently. His only known eccentricity is a weakness for writing verse. He has published more than 20 poems on his personal website and another is woven into the carpet in the reception area of Geely’s Hanghzhou base, 100 miles (160km) southwest of Shanghai.

Mr Li’s career began with a school-graduation prize that he used to buy a bicycle and an old camera to take snaps of tourists visiting local beauty spots. By the late 1980s, with a master’s degree in engineering under his belt, he had moved on to making refrigerator parts. In 1994 he started making motorcycles, transforming a bankrupt state-owned manufacturer into one of China’s biggest private firms. In 1997 Mr Li’s thoughts turned to making cars. He says that he saw China “entering into an historic period” of growth and opportunity in which the demand for affordable transport would soar.

After a slow start, Geely, which means “lucky” in Mandarin, has the potential to compete with the joint ventures between Chinese and Western firms that dominate what is now the world’s biggest vehicle market. Only a handful of homegrown firms can say as much. Mr Li is hugely ambitious. Geely often takes the biggest stands at Chinese motor shows, filling them with both its prosaic current offerings and brash prototypes. The Shanghai Englon GE, a shameless knock-off of a Rolls-Royce Phantom, has a single throne-like seat at the rear. Over the next year or so Mr Li is promising a range of 25 cars spread out over five platforms and three brands. This year sales of Geely’s range of still mainly cheap, compact cars should reach 400,000, of which about 5% will be exported to countries with undemanding safety and emissions standards. In Cuba the Geely CK is now the car of choice for the police. By 2015 Mr Li aims to be producing 2m vehicles, half for export.

This week Mr Li realised another longstanding ambition: a deal he struck several months ago with Ford Motor Company to buy its Volvo subsidiary for $1.5 billion finally closed. It reminded investors just how bold and opportunistic Mr Li can be. A cash-strapped Ford had already sold its other European premium brands, and was determined to offload Volvo. But last year was hugely stressful for big car firms. Their survival was uncertain. Few were in the mood for making risky acquisitions. The lack of credible rival purchasers offered Mr Li his chance. Typically, he grabbed it.

Acquiring Volvo gives Geely an international profile and a degree of credibility it could never have achieved on its own. But it is a huge gamble. Although Volvo is currently close to breaking even (Ford says it is operating at “sustainable levels”), last year it lost $1.3 billion and sold only 335,000 cars. (At its peak in 2007, it sold 458,000.) Yet Volvo’s revenues are five times greater than Geely’s.

Mr Li knows that owning a sophisticated Western brand such as Volvo is a big step up for Geely. He says: “Volvo is Volvo and Geely is Geely. Volvo is premium, tasteful and low-profile, whereas Geely is a volume brand. We don’t want to put the two together. We will give Volvo independence and autonomy. By setting it free, we will help Volvo return to its glories in the 1960s and 1970s.” This week Stefan Jacoby, a Volkswagen executive who has been running the German group’s operations in America, was appointed as Volvo’s new boss. Volvo will continue to be headquartered in Gothenburg and a strong-looking board will set the firm’s strategy.

Armed with $900m of working capital from Geely and a commitment to build a Volvo factory in China, Mr Li’s target of driving sales to 600,000 by 2015 depends on the Swedish firm competing more strongly than in the past with the German premium brands, such as Audi and BMW, especially in China. Some Swedes worry that if things do not go well, Mr Li may cut costs by moving more production to China. (This happened with the London taxis made by Manganese Bronze, which Geely part-owns.) Some also fear that he will ransack Volvo’s intellectual property to boost Geely’s less sophisticated cars.

Mr Li insists that he will support Volvo’s management. He hopes that Geely will learn from Volvo’s global experience, and from its ability to innovate, particularly in the area of safety. Ford’s negotiators believe he will honour his promises. Despite a reputation for ruthlessness, the Ford team found him to be “very straightforward—once we had agreed something we never had to revisit it.”

A Ford executive says of Mr Li: “He’s a very ambitious individual, but he understands he has a lot to learn about doing business in the West. He will give Volvo autonomy because he knows it’s the only way to make it work. He’s more interested in growing businesses than in the details—he is very trusting of the people who work for him.”

How to Recharge a Cordless Drill Battery

Monday, July 5, 2010 by Cordless Drill Battery Shop

Cordless power tools have revolutionized the way homeowners and professionals work with power tools. The first cordless drill was introduced in the 1960s. Since that time, they have become more powerful, and the batteries last much longer.

Cordless power tools have revolutionized the way homeowners and professionals work with power tools. The first cordless drill was introduced in the 1960s. Since that time, they have become more powerful, and the batteries last much longer. If a downside to cordless drills exists, it is managing battery power and recharging to prevent interruptions during the project. Make it a point to know the battery type and its characteristics being used with the drill. Doing so helps improve battery management and will ultimately extend its life.

Dewalt DE9096 Cordless Drill Battery
1500mAh only Price: £29.11

Instructions

Step 1

Plug the battery charger directly into the outlet. Avoid using extension cords to reduce the effects of voltage drop. Cordless drill battery chargers use transformers and solid-state components for charging batteries. Supplying less than adequate voltage to the charger has the potential to cause overheating and damage to the charger and battery.

Step 2

Remove the battery from the drill and wipe any debris from the exposed terminals before inserting it in the charger. Line up the battery with the charger and slide it in all the way. A red or green power light will come on when the battery is in the charger. Different cordless tool manufacturers build chargers specifically for their batteries. For this reason, most batteries will only fit into chargers provided by the same company.
Step 3

Charge cordless drill batteries when temperatures are between freezing and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep the charger clean and the vents free of debris. Allow the battery to stay on charge until the charger indicator shows the charge to be complete. Because different tool manufactures use a different sequence of colored indicator lights on their chargers, check the tools operating manual for the meaning of each light. Today's chargers often have a legend stuck to the charger showing what each light means and how to tell when the charge is complete.

10 Practices for Learning While Doing

2010-05-31T20:26:00.000-07:00

A while ago, I came across an insight by blogger Angie Mizzell that has stayed with me:

“They never really tell you how unsettling it feels,” she wrote, “to be a parent, while simultaneously trying to figure out how to be a parent.”
So well put. It struck me that these words hold true for almost everything important we do. We are husbands and wives while we learn how to be husbands and wives. We care for aging parents while learning how to care for aging parents. We learn how to deal with fear while afraid. We learn how to lead while leading. We learn to do our jobs while doing them. We have to fix the plane while flying it.

As Charlie Gilkey has written at his blog, we have to fix the plane while flying it.

The Most Important Skill You Can Learn

Yet most of us forget, again and again, that learning-while-doing is what we’re all up to. We walk through life feeling like we are supposed to know, projecting that other people know, and feeling stressed out when we don’t know.

Ways to increase your feeling of self worth

2010-05-25T23:22:00.000-07:00

Self worth comes from within,you won't find it by having more money, having more friends, having a fancy car or a big house. It is something intrinsic and something we can't gain extrinsically, meaning we won't find self worth from external factors. Here are some things you can do to increase your feeling of self worth.

1.Write down several minor goals for the week and tick one off each day as you achieve it.

2.Read a book a month. Reading a book is actually an achievement in this technology and media driven world and reading a full book is a great way to achieve a sense of accomplishment.

3.At the end of each day before falling asleep write down something you feel proud about, either on the day or in the past.

How to Recondition Power Tools Batteries

2010-05-24T20:41:00.000-07:00

How to Recondition Power Tools Batteries

Power tools use batteries or electricity to function, and batteries can be rechargeable or for one-time use. Typically, they are rechargeable. Nickel cadmium, or NiCd batteries, are normally used in power tools. These can be charged up to around 1,000 times before they need replacing. Reconditioning, especially after months of no use, is very good for these batteries, and should be done about once a month throughout battery life to ensure proper functioning and optimal lifespan.

Li-ion, 2100mAh, 14.4V Price: AU $ 84.44
Instructions:

Run the battery in the power tool without any obstruction. For instance, if you have a power drill, run the drill by itself, do not try to drill in anything; just let the battery run until it's dead.
Plug the power tool battery charger into the electrical outlet.
Charge the battery back to full capacity.
Run the battery as before until it is dead again.

Recharge the battery again.

Repeat once a month, or if this process has not improved your battery's performance, throw that one away and purchase a new one.

Tips & Warnings:

There are other, more complicated, ways to recondition a battery. Check your owner's manual for proper care and maintenance. This may show how to recondition your battery, but more important, follow the instructions on care and maintenance to prolong its life.

If the casing is cracked and/or components of the battery are leaking/falling out, throw the battery away immediately.

Mini-Laptops - In The Spotlight

2010-04-27T02:25:00.000-07:00

Smaller than traditional laptops but larger than handhelds, mini-laptops offer most of the features you get from their bulky ancestors - web browsing, document creation, editing, and email - just slightly scaled down in terms of both size and power. Most appealing of all, they're cheap. Mini-laptops range from $299 (for the most bare-bones version of the Asus Eee) up to $1,399 for a fully-loaded Fujitsu LifeBook U810. Though there's some category overlap, mini-laptops shouldn't be confused with ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs), which more closely resemble handhelds and cost more (prices range from about $700 to $1,500) and the more-powerful ultra-portable PCs, such as Lenovo's ThinkPad X300, which sells for a pricey $2,420.

Of course, there are some tradeoffs that come with mini-laptops' bargain basement prices.

"You're not going get a super-powerful processor in there, and usually you're limited on storage space," says Ian Bell, editor in chief of Digital Trends, a consumer-technology analysis site.

In addition, most subnotebooks lack CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives so you won't be able to play movies on your computer.

Mini-laptops trace their roots back to the One Laptop Per Child project, a program started by an MIT professor with the goal of providing every child in the developing world with a $100 laptop. Computer manufacturing companies soon took advantage of the commercial opportunity these tiny laptops created. With the 2007 release of the Asus Eee, a surprise hit for Taiwan's Asustek, mini-laptops got their jumpstart.

when love meet money

2010-04-27T02:16:00.000-07:00

If you've ever been in a relationship for very long, especially if you were married or living together, I can almost guarantee that you've had a money fight.
One of the biggest causes of problems in relationships is differences in values and goals and habits when it comes to money, and especially communication about money issues.
Money can't buy you love, but it sure can tear it apart.
And while I can't claim that my wife and I are perfect when it comes to money and relationships, I can say that we've come a long way, and we rarely ever have money disagreements anymore. It wasn't always that way, and we've had our share of fights along the way, but we're in a much more solid relationship these days because we learned how to talk about money, and how to align our financial goals.

How to Improve Power Tools Battery

2010-04-15T19:14:00.000-07:00

power tools can be an excellent tool for home improvement jobs or commercial jobs. There are many different volt sizes of batteries for a cordless drill. They come in 9 volt, 12 volt, 18 volt and some 24 volt. Of course, the higher the voltage, the stronger the drill.

Price: AU $ 31.57
Improve a power tools battery and make it last longer by charging your battery completely when you first buy a cordless drill. Many people make the mistake of charging it for only 10 or 15 minutes. This actually lowers the life of the battery. Manufacturers recommend a full charge the first time you use a cordless drill because the battery has a memory. If it's not charged completely the first time, the battery's memory will consider that a full charge, and the battery won't last as long as it should on a charge.
Keep your power tools battery strong and improve its performance by charging it completely after your battery runs down. The way to tell if your battery is fully charged is to look for a red and green light on the charger. When the red light is on, your battery is charging. When the green light is on, the charger has cut off and your battery is fully charged.

Clean the power tools battery contacts as a way to improve its performance. Batteries usually have two contacts (one negative and one hot). Use a rag and clean away any dust or debris on the contacts. Make sure that your cordless drill contacts are also clean of debris.

Know that you can improve a cordless power tools battery by upgrading the battery that comes with the drill you've bought. Some companies have started making lithium batteries for your cordless drill. These batteries are stronger and last longer, therefore you can do more work with less charges.

What to Know Before Buying a Replacement Power Tools Batteries?

There are many power tools battery shop, and even more retailers to buy your power tools battery from. However, your biggest concern in purchasing a power tools battery will be to choose the battery that fits your power tools. For this you will need to know the make and model number of your power tools; if you don't know this offhand or don't have the necessary paperwork, check the inside of your drill's battery compartment while the drill is off and unplugged. There you should find the model number, along with some other information. You may also find the part number of your power tools battery, located on the casing of the battery itself.

How to Build Self Confidence?

2010-04-14T19:52:00.000-07:00

Although clothes don’t make the man, they certainly affect the way he feels about himself. No one is more conscious of your physical appearance than you are. When you don’t look good, it changes the way you carry yourself and interact with other people.

Speaking up is all very well, but not just for the sake of it. If you get crushed by someone else it will soon dent whatever confidence you had. Practise speaking out loud, getting confident just at speaking may be an important first step. Building assertiveness skills, being able to put across your point of view (and believe you have the right to say it) can be practised separately.

But speaking up is generally dependent on knowing your facts, being confident in your abilities. If sitting in a meeting where the subject is something you know little about - keep schtum! But when your area of brilliance is on the agenda - when you have every right to feel confident - speak up. Nothing builds confidence like knowledge and expertise.

Taking Inspired Action

2010-04-08T19:18:00.000-07:00

Never confuse motion with action. ~ Benjamin Franklin

Have you watched a cat who is trying to catch something tasty for dinner? As a kid, I often used to watch our cat in the garden. She would find a spot on the ground where she could lie hidden under some foliage and would sit there, motionless, for a very long time. She was clearly very alert, however, and the slightest sound or movement would elicit a slight but sharp turn of the head. As soon as she saw something which she thought might make a tasty snack, she would lock onto it, wait until it came close enough, and then – at just the right moment – suddenly pounce. She usually got her prey, and I don’t think the bird or mouse ever saw what was coming.

We have been taught, for the most part, that we need to work hard to get anywhere in life. Nothing comes easy, right? Success comes from persistence, determination, blood, sweat and tears. Part of this may well be true – clarity about where we are heading and persistence are important. But I don’t believe that a great deal of effort is needed to get where we want to be. It’s more about the kind of action we take. Call it ‘working smart.’ Our cat knew all about it. I like the phrase ‘inspired action’ since this really gets to the heart of the matter. We need do something: it’s no use sitting around and expecting results to just happen. But we need to do the right thing. When we take just the right action at just the right time, amazing things can happen. We can learn a lot from the way our cat went about things.

Be clear about your intentions.

12 Pervasive Myths About Starting a Small Business

2010-03-24T21:13:00.000-07:00

Few subjects are as plagued by myths and falsehoods as starting a small business. Everywhere you turn, someone is making sweeping proclamations about small businesses – the difficulty of starting one, the risks involved, the odds of failure or what you “have to do” in order to make it. And unlike in some fields, myths about small business are not simply harmless old wives tales. Rather than leaving you to fend for yourself against business dogma, Business Pundit assembled – and debunked – this list of 12 pervasive myths about running a small enterprise.

5 Ways to Enjoy Each Day

2010-03-23T20:10:00.000-07:00

Well its Friday. As someone who works Monday to Friday, I can tell you there is something special about today. At work we dress casually, chat more to each other (usually about plans for the weekend) and are just generally happier.For many, Fridays are one last hurdle before the weekend. These people live for their weekends and, on the one hand, I can hardly blame them. Weekends are when they get to do what they want to do, whether it is partying, eating out, playing sport, etc. On the other hand, it seems such a waste to simply “wish away” 5 days of the week as I see many people do. The big idea for today is: enjoy each and every day.

What Are You Denying Yourself?

2010-03-23T19:40:00.000-07:00

Most of us aren’t shameless hedonists. Our approach to life isn’t to grab as much fun and excitement as possible, seeking thrills and highs. Instead, we take a look at the big picture, and we think about financial security, the people we love, the career path we want to follow, our health, and our long term goals.

5 Keys To A Better Love Life

2010-03-17T23:50:00.000-07:00

I recently asked 5 of the most successful couples I know for their best advice on how to create a fantastic love life. They laughed at first. They thought I was asking about sex. I assured them I wasn’t. I wanted to know what they’d done to keep their love alive for 100+ combined years of life together.

How to Do What You have Always Wanted

2010-03-17T20:51:00.000-07:00

I’m willing to bet that there’s something you’ve always wanted to do.
It could be that you’ve always wanted to write a novel. Maybe you want to visit Africa or want to see the Northern Lights. Perhaps you’d love to open a little coffee shop or brasserie in your neighbourhood or maybe you’ve had brainwave for a neat little product that just might change the world.
You’re not alone. We all have things we dream about and things we’d love to do, and it’s rare that these things ever see the light of day.

Most of us learned early in life that “thinking about it” is always a good idea. That is what reasonable, intelligent people do when they have a big decision in front of them, right? They think about it.

Building Positive Friendships: Modern Tools & Old-Fashioned Self-Understanding

2010-03-15T18:34:00.000-07:00

“How can someone you’ve never met possibly be considered a friend?” This challenge was posed to an old friend of mine, one who has “been there” for me in person in years past and now stays in touch via the internet. But can it actually work the other way round? Can we make “real friends” through technology, meeting them in person only later, if at all? Are the friends we make through non-traditional means actually “real friends”?
