All of a sudden, I got notification: Consider replacing your battery! I have Win 7 64, Dell studio 1555 First Web doesn't work. Networks are there but I can't connect. I reinstall W7 but same notification and can connect to web pages. Shoud I install Bios upgrade ?
Hope this workes for you , it really helped me a lot , got rid of the frustrating err : 1. Make sure that your laptop is running in battery ( NOT plugged ). 2. Open "START" then write "cmd". 3. Right click on "cmd" and run it as administrator . 4. Now in the "cmd" write d: (the original line would be something like c:\windows\system32 , and we need to change it ). 5. Now type POWERCFG -ENERGY and hit enter ( now wait for 1 minute ). 6. A report will be generated in the location provided in step 4 , exit cmd. 7. Go to d: and open the ENERGY REPORT and search for "battery wear level". 8. Move the report into another folder ( dealers choice ). 9. Deplete the battery COMPLETELY. 10. Plug the charger and let it get a full charge. ( it would be best not to use it until after it's charged completely ). 11. Unplug it and power it up then repet the steps until STEP 7. !!! Use this method once a week ! And remember not to use the HIGH PERFORMANCE power plan because it will damage your battery ! !!! Remember to train your battery ! ( full charge - full discharge ) because if you leave it plugged for long periods it will damage it !
