Im not sure why, but if my laptop is new, and it has that many errors/warnings then im guessing yours is fine also.

All is fairly well normal.

This program must have been written by a wet-behind-the-ears junior programmer with his Computer Science degree and absolutely zero real-word experience.

The report is a joke in my opinion and a good example of bad programming.

Now with that out of the way.

The one thing that worries me is the battery report.

do me a favor plug you computer in but turned off. The HP should indicate that power is on and that the battery is charging or fully charged. Ignore that green led and leave the computer plugged in as many hours as possible.

Still the battery reading may be dismal. Batteries have a fixed life-time, even sitting on a shelf. No telling how old that battery is.

Interesting would be plugging in a "new" battery and seeing what is reported.

I got a real problem with the battery...
sometimes when i leave the battery 100% charged.. and turn off the computer...
in the next day, when i need to turn it on ... it can;t be turned on ..

then, i take the battery off... and put it on ..many times... (plugged in)
when i see the light on ... i say ..THANKS GOD! .


and .. simetimes..
i leave the computer turned off + plugged in .. 14 hours ..
when i wake up .. i can't turn it on :S ...

i don't know what to do with the battery...

Bad news. Solution: Replace battery. Buy via ebay or newegg and not via HP.
