03 How to calibrate the battery of the Acer Aspire One to avoid the black screen problem
www.LowEndGuru.com This video shows how to manually calibrate the battery of the Acer Aspire One in an attemp to avoid critical battery failures that may trigger the “Black Screen of Death” problem. Step 1 Charge the battery completely. Step 2: Deactivate all hibernation and alarms. Set the power scheme to “always on”. Let the battery discharge completely. Step 3: Charge the battery again. (Username WBarts offered a little tip: “You should Remove the battery from? the cpu once drained and reinstall. Then Charge it up to full.” I don’t know it fhis is necessary, but it deffinetly won’t hurt.) This procedure can be repeated up to 3 times for a more thorough calibration. This process will not harm your battery. Sources: www.eastwoodzhao.com www.laptops-battery.co.uk www.youtube.com

@hazlin22 I solved it by using my warranty to change the battery. Later I learned another option: to discharge the battery completely, and then enter BIOS mode (Setup with F2 -usually-) when booting, and finish discharging the battery completely. BIOS will check for the right zero point of charge after that (it will beep a lot, indicating low battery, annoying but necessary). Fully charge and repeat once or twice (usually it’s not good to completely discharge Li-On batteries)
Hope it helps.
@JackStonexp I also have the same problem like you.my netbook,acer aspire one 532h-2Ds is not charging battery after 91%-92%..what should I do?
My AcerOne is about 16 mos old and recently I’ve noticed when I do a “full charge”, it seems to only show 97%-99% charge. I still get hours of use with it, but it just seems it isn’t going to 100% charge anymore. Will what you show on your video solve this issue? I’ve been told to “recalibrate the battery” by a tech at Acer. Is this what you are doing? It appears so. Please advise. thankis
I did everything you said in your video, when its time to hold the Fn and Esc and Power, it never blinks, so i just let go and it still doesnt work. I have a black screen with the cursor moving around.
Is there anyway you could post something for the netbook running Windows Vista or 7?

@Kellawanda watch the video before this one
How do I do that…if Im already only getting the black screen?
Great video. My friend’s Aspire one kept dying because it wasn’t calibrated. I set up a power scheme for it based on the “always on” configuration, saved it and named it “battery calibration”. Now, when he wants to recalibrate, he can choose that instead of always having to reset the choices to never in the always on power scheme.
You should Remove the battery from the cpu once drained and reinstall. Then Charge it up to full.
@matiasg85 Soon my friend, very soon.
@mrgmrsg I’m sorry, I have no experience with that problem.
my sn is kickuass32 please look up my vid on my laptop please help! anybody just watch
I don’t know if you speak spanish too, but I’ll explain my problem anyway, I hope you can help me:
My Aspire One AOD250 is not charging the battery after 85%-89%, it won’t go any higher, I’m desperate and there are a lot more of users who share this same problem with me, I’ve tried recalibrating and bios update, which seems to be useless, the same battery in another same model charges to the same point, but in another model it charges completely. I hope you can help, thx.
Para cuando el proximo LOWENDGURU???? We need more of this!
Can you help me? I have a Compaq Presario V2000 with a white screen. How can youi help me?
I really struggled following this, you said it had to be FAT formatted, since I’m on Linux I couldn’t format any USB to this type, however with a bit of research I found I could use FAT32, which is possible to do by Ubuntu, also mine didn’t automatically restart I had to turn it back on.
However! Thanks for explaining it to me, I’d seen other guides but none seemed to show what should happen, just to let you know about those two possibilities
Great tip however also some laptops might have calibration utility in the bios to do this quicker.
