CF-C2 need hot swap battery

my battery is completely dead and my power adapter is unstable as hell for some weird reasons if I move its cable it leaves me with no juice

so I kinda need that backup battery inside my toughbook to be working I am not sure why its not but help me fix it please I own CF C2

 

Well it sounds like you battery is shot and you AC cable is busted too...time for some new ones.

 

Another possibility is that the power connector on the motherboard is bad.
I have had them go bad on CF52's and they acted the same as you describe.

 

thanks for the replies

I mean my pc can be up and running on ac without any issues as long as I am not messing with its cable also I don't see anything wrong with the cable either its not busted nor anything like that

if I have the hot swap battery works I won't have any issues because it will let me know if I am on battery by dimming my lcd

why its hot swap battery don't work anymore? anything I should check

 

When my power connector was bad, randomly moving the laptop slightly would sometimes switch the power from AC to battery or completely off.

Sounds like the same issue to me.

Grab a hold of the plug that goes into the laptop and wiggle it as the laptop is running..See if the thing switches from AC to battery.

I tried 3 different AC adapters before I discovered it was the socket on the laptop and not the adapter.

 

@Shawn

I am certain at this point luckily its the cable I am having issues with not the connector nor the adapter itself

I am not sure hows that even possible I mean there is nothing on the cable no cuts nothing...

so far I kinda fix this by rolling the cable around its adapter with no possible way of moving and bingo ever since than I never had no sudden power lost

but still I am not sure why the extra battery inside won't work?

 

here is how I did it:

 

Ok, so I see the CF C2 is hot swappable with an internal battery..
Maybe the internal battery is shot.

 

@Shawn

thank you for your fast response

I kinda need to have my internal battery to be working because right now my laptop has no battery so any loose connection will result sudden power off

any suggestions maybe why the internal battery don't work anymore?

 

old age?

 

A laptop battery will only last 2-3 years but it also depends on how much use it gets and abuse it get...as in short charges. I have been told that if your laptop is plugged in all the time with the battery in it then the battery will not last as long because the battery is getting small charges. It is best to run the battery down every so often.

Your charger has broken wires in the line which does not surprise me since I have a few that way to and in the same spot as yours. The red arrow points to the weak spot in the line

Anyways you need a new battery and charger
