“Battery Not Identified” on my Dell laptop

Posted on 2010/06/26 by Wyatt Fuller

Tonight I sat down on the couch and fired up my laptop to be greeted by a black screen telling me that my battery was notÂ identified. I started hunting around the internet to see if anyone else has had this problem as I was sure it wasn’t the battery since it’s only a few months old. As a matter of fact I bought this new battery because I was getting this same error message. Most sites I went to told me to update the bios which didn’t help since I had the most current bios installed.

Luckily I found a post that told me to just kill the battery and then cut it on after plugging it in. Since my batter was at 10% I figured I would give it a shot. When my laptop shut down I plugged it in and booted it up only to have it tell me that the battery was not identified again. I unplugged the AC and booted up. The battery lasted for another 10 minutes even though it showed as 0% before it shut down. I promptly hit the power button again and was able to boot back up a few more times with the error message displaying every time. I did until pushing the power button got no response. At this point I plugged in the AC power and booted back up with no error message and everything is working as normal.

The trick to this is to make sure the battery is 100% completely andÂ trulyÂ dead.

To my Mom on Mother’s day

Posted on 2010/05/09 by Wyatt Fuller

Happy Mothers Day Peggy Jean. I love you and am sorry that I won’t be there later today. I promise to make it up to you as soon as I get to feeling better.

Sorry about the cars, the parties we had while you and Dad we out of town, all the damage I caused to the house, for never seeming to remember what time my curfew was, for all the grey hairs, and for all the fights with Melynda.

Thanks for taking care of me when I was sick, for not killing me, for making sure I went to the “right” doctor, for always letting me vent to you, not getting too mad at me when I use words you don’t like, for always backing my play even when I was being an asshole, for putting up with me and my friends (They all love you too), for never getting mad about us playing the nintendo all the time, for teaching me all about my computers by screwing them up (format c:), and for having a sense of humor.

Thanks for loving my Jenni, Percy, and the girls. Even though I am pretty sure you like her more than me. For that matter I think you like Percy more than me but that’s understandable.

Thanks for being so stubborn and not believing “it was just a virus”.Â If you hadn’t have done that I wouldn’t be here now.

I love you PJ and you are the greatest mom in the world. I wouldn’t trade you (or Dad) for anything. The only way I know how to repay you for everything is to be a son that you can be proud of. I don’t alway make the mark but I’m trying. I also know you will never pull a punch with me when I mess up and I really appreciate that.

I hope that you have a great day and never forget that your baby boy loves you very much. I will end this with a story for everyone to show how much you love me.
In 1988 I was waiting anxiously for the Zelda 2 video game. The day it was released I called Toys r’us and had them hold me a copy. I wasn’t old enough to drive so I called Mom at work and asked if she would go pick it up for me. Remember that “Pick it up for me” was code for “Mom, go buy this game for me”. I think it was at lunchtime that Mom actually had a car wreck. I guess it was Dad that called me and told me what had happened as PJ had gotten a little bruised up. On the way home Mom had CW run by Toy r’us to get me that damn game. And that is just one tiny example of what a fantastic Mom I have.
