Hi, i have been working on an HP EliteBook 8440p for 9 months now, and was wondering if anyone knew anything about a New problem i've been having...
I can't tell if it is related to the Computer's Battery, it's Charger or what.. but only for about the last day or 2, i've been having some weird charging problems..
For Example; Yesterday, i attempted to Charge after the Battery level was supposedly 10-15%...for some reason, it refused to charge... and it kept this up till it was nearly dead (IE: At least 1%), but then it randomly starts charging... but in Weird, Blinking Increments.....not only this, but it wasnt long after that i also took a weird quiet whinny noise of some odd sort into account between these weird "Blinks"/Pauses between Charges..
I don't quite know what to think about this, and i know it wasnt having this problem last week or at any other point in the time i've had this Computer.
I am not sure if it is the Charger, because i know it should work just fine. (IE: Almost no bending or Movement have occurred to cause such potential Failures)
So i was wondering: Could it be the Battery? The Charger? Could i have some kind of Virus/Malware that affects the Battery/Charger, or could there be something more?
