Error - "Consider replacing your Battery" displayed immediately after you upgrade to Windows 7 on certain LG notebooks

If you get below error on your LG notebook (certain model's) as stated below, follow the steps mentioned.

A warning message is displayed immediately after you upgrade to Windows 7 on certain LG notebooks: "Consider replacing your battery"

This warning is displayed even if a new battery is inserted into the laptop.


CAUSE:


This problem occurs because of a code defect in the system firmware (BIOS) of some LG notebooks. These include the R500 family of notebooks.


The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) firmware does not correctly initialize and report the Design Capacity field of the static battery information structure that is retrieved by using the _BIF method. Therefore, the Design Capacity that is reported to Windows may be much larger than the Last Full Charge capacity that is also reported in the static battery information structure. The Windows Battery Meter divides the Last Full Charge capacity by the Design Capacity to determine battery health. The Windows Battery Meter displays the "Consider replacing your battery" message when the Last Full Charge Capacity is less than 40% of the Design Capacity. When this issue occurs, the Design Capacity is reported as much larger than Last Full Charge capacity. Therefore, the "Consider replacing your battery" message is always shown.


RESOLUTION:


To resolve this problem, You need to upgrade BIOS for your LG Notebook.

Although browser add-ons can improve your online experience, they can occasionally interfere or conflict with other software on your computer. However, be aware that some webpages, or Internet Explorer itself, might not be displayed correctly if an add-on is disabled. First, start Internet Explorer with add-ons temporarily disabled to see whether the problem is resolved. (Add-ons will be disabled only until you restart Internet Explorer in the usual way). To do this, follow these steps:

Method 3: Use the Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) mode

• Click Start, type Internet Explorer in the Search box, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
  
  Note For Windows XP, click Start, right-click the Internet Explorer icon, and then click Browse without add-ons.

Method 4: Reset Internet Explorer settings

If the problem is caused by damaged or incompatible Internet Explorer settings or add-ons, you can usually resolve the problem by resetting Internet Explorer settings to their default settings.

Resetting Internet Explorer’s settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings are lost and cannot be recovered. When you restore Internet Explorer’s default settings, some webpages that rely on previously stored cookies, form data, passwords, or previously installed browser add-ons might not work correctly.

1. Close all open Internet Explorer windows.
2. Click Start, type inetcpl.cpl in the Search box and then click inetcpl.cpl in the programs list.

How to determine whether you have a retail edition or a volume license edition of a 2007 or a 2010 Microsoft Office suite

To determine whether you have a retail edition or a volume license edition, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Examine the contents of the installation disc

1. Insert the 2007 or 2010 Office suite installation disc into the computer's CD drive or DVD drive.
   
   Note If you have multiple discs, use disc 1. Also, check the disc label for the DVD symbol. If you see this symbol, the disc must be inserted into a DVD drive.
2. When the Setup window is displayed, close the Setup window.
3. Click Start, and then click My Computer.
4. Right-click the CD drive or the DVD drive that contains the disc, and then click Explore.
5. Look for a folder that is named Admin.
   • If the Admin folder exists, this disc is a volume license edition.
   • If the Admin folder does not exist, this disc is a retail edition.
   Note Retail media includes a lowercase "r" before the ".WW" in the folder name and before the "WW.msi" in the msi file name. For example, Enterprise retail would be EnterpriserWW.msi in the Enterpriser.WW folder. Enterprise non-retail would be EnterpriseWW.msi in the Enterprise.WW. Notice the absence of the lowercase "r" in the non-retail names.

Method 2: Examine the registry on the computer

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

1. On a computer that has a 2007 or a 2010 Office suite installed, click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Installer\Products
3. Expand the Products entry node in the navigation area, and then click each 32-character {GUID} until you locate the one whose ProductName value in the topic area matches your version of the 2007 or 2010 Office suite. For example, the 32-character {GUID} for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 appears as follows: 
   00002103110000000000000000F01FEC
4. For more information about 2007 Office suite ProductName GUIDs, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   2186281 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2186281) Description of the numbering scheme for product code GUIDs in Office 2010
5. Expand the selected 32-character GUID entry.
6. Click the SourceList entry.
7. In the topic area, examine the data for the PackageName string value.
   • If the data for this string value contains the letter "r" before "WW," this is a retail edition of a 2007 Office suite. For example, the data may be displayed as "ProrWW.msi" or as "StandardrWW.msi."
   • If the data for this string value does not contain the letter "r" before "WW," this is a volume license edition of a 2007 Office suite. For example, the data may be displayed as "ProWW.msi" or as "StandardWW.msi."
8. Exit Registry Editor.
