Beginning in February, when a user reports that their laptop after upgrading to Windows 7 will always be recalled to replace the battery, even if the new batteries so. The survey, Microsoft said, Windows will detect the battery completely normal by 7, the problem is the battery or laptop users. Recently, Microsoft has some of this problem is a solution for laptops LG.

Microsoft KB981200 wrote “some improvement for LG laptop Windows 7 meter displays the battery system following warning message:” Please consider replacing battery. Even with the new battery, Windows 7 also display this fast. “Microsoft says the problem due to firmware LG certain portable system (BIOS) of a code defect, such as series R500.

Windows 7 to add a testing tool based on battery circuits and firmware to evaluate the overall performance of the battery, calculating the percentage of degradation. The overall performance of the battery if the user is only 40% of the plant, and then Windows 7 will be recalled to replace the battery.

LG laptops in part, the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) firmware is not properly initialized, can not use the method for BIF-capacity Battery proper design. Therefore, to assess the state of battery design capacity of the battery meter windows will be much larger than the actual capacity, so that the battery is fully charged is difficult to reach the rated capacity of 40% Windows 7 will always remember to replace the battery. The above version of Windows 7 in the installation of six would come.

According to media reports South Korean LG Group, will focus on the culture of solar cells, next-generation lighting, a new generation of batteries, air conditioning and four other regions from the point of future growth industries.

LG Group investment in research and development this year, amounting to 37,000 million won, 23 percent higher than last year.

In the field of solar energy, LG Chemical is responsible for developing the basic material, LG Electronics, LG Display will be responsible for developing energy-efficient solar electricity in the form of thin film solar cells. LG Electronics is the beginning of this year, the use of silicon solar cell production, and plans to continue to increase production facilities next year.

LG Chemical will become the center of the field of next-generation battery. LG Chemical plans to focus its development efforts can improve the mobile phone, laptop computer uses a small battery capacity, reducing the price of technology and the extended life battery technology for electric vehicles.
