There are many laptop battery problems which can be solved with some simple troubleshooting steps, without even calling the laptop service people. Some troubleshooting methods are printed on the laptop manual itself, so it is necessary to refer to the manual before using the netbook for the first time. There is no average battery life provided by the manufacturers as the battery life depends largely on several factors like the size of the netbook screen, battery capacitance, and the kind of applications that are generally used.
In the case of a new laptop battery not functioning, firstly ensure that it has a full charge. When you get a new ASUS Eee PC 1015PED 10.1" Netbook
from the shop, it generally comes with a discharged battery, and you need to charge it for further use. A new Li-Ion netbook battery is essentially required to be charged for nearly 12 hours before use. If it's an NiMH battery, it would need to be charged at least for 24 hours for proper functioning.
If you've done with a sufficient battery charge and still the toshiba nb305 netbook is not working, simply ensure, if the battery is decently inserted into the netbook. If the laptop turns off automatically, examine its power management settings, as the netbook may be set to automatically shut down, when the battery power becomes low.
If the netbook battery turns warm after using it for a while, you don't need to worry, as it's not a problem and is normal with all netbooks. But if the battery turns hot or too hot, it might be a serious problem. In such a situation, just take the battery out from the Sony VPCM128JC 10.1" Netbook and allow it to cool down. If this problem occurs on a regular basis, the battery itself may be at fault and you may need to give it for replacement.
If the battery is not being charged when you connect it to an electric socket using the adapter, check the power source if it is providing sufficient power to charge. You may also try to charge the battery using the same adapter, but on a different power source socket. Interruption in the power supply may also be a problem which leaves the battery without power. Check all the power-related cord connections, such as the connection at the back of the notebook and at the transformer box. There are also possibilities of the adapter being defunct.
If you find any kind of notebook battery problems, just remove the battery from the notebook and check for any debris or dirt in or around the connections. The debris or dirt may restrict the notebook to get connected with the power components inside the battery compartments. Moreover, you also need to check if there are revealing signs such as any burn marks in the battery compartment.
Before taking any step to troubleshoot laptop battery, you need to be confirmed about the problem being persistent only in the battery and in no other part. If the above steps don't seem to work, the last option left is to call the netbook service person, and let him know about the problem and what all troubleshooting steps you've taken.
