Understanding Smart Adapter messages

Using a power adapter, other than an adapter that was designed to be used with your computer, can cause the notebook computer to display a notification message in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

NOTE:If the  Smart Adapter message is displayed and you are using the adapter provided with the product, then update to the latest BIOS version for your model.

Smart Adapter message Actions
Smart Adapter message - power output is too low This message indicates the AC adapter does not provide enough power for the notebook computer to be used. The battery light might blink rapidly 8 times and the battery icon in the system tray indicates the computer is operating on battery power.

For example, using a 65W AC adapter or 65W Travel Adapter on most Mobile Workstation series notebooks is not supported.

This message does not indicate the AC adapter needs to be replaced or is defective. Use the appropriate AC adapter for your model notebook computer.

Use the power adapter that came with your notebook computer for better performance. If you need a replacement adapter, see Ordering HP Certified Replacement Parts.

Smart Adapter message - reduced performance This message indicates the AC adapter is providing enough power to use your computer, but not enough power to deliver expected performance.

For example, attempting to use a 65W AC power adapter designed for a high-performance notebook works, but performance is not optimal. High-performance HP Notebook computers require a 90W AC power adapter.

Use the power adapter that came with your notebook computer for better performance. If you need a replacement adapter, see Ordering HP Certified Replacement Parts.

The following list provides suggestions for using the power adapter.

  • Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
  • Always plug the AC adapter into a grounded outlet.

       CAUTION:If you do not use a grounded outlet, you might notice an electrical tingling sensation when the palms of your hands touch the notebook during use.

  • If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on the power cord, plug the cord into a grounded 3-pin outlet. Do not disable the power cord grounding pin, for example, by attaching a 2-pin adapter. The grounding pin is an important safety feature.
  • Always disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC wall outlet first, then unplug the power cord from the computer.
  • Make sure the power adapter is NOT placed in an area such as under cabinets, near exhaust fans or heaters or covered by objects such as a phone book, blanket, or clothing where the ambient temperature can reach greater than 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) and prevent natural convection cooling. The AC adapter can become hot and go into thermal protection mode. Allow the AC adapter to cool for 5 minutes before using again.
  • Use only the AC adapter provided with the computer, a replacement HP AC adapter, or a compatible AC adapter purchased from www.hp.com.
  • Connect to external AC power when charging or calibrating the battery, installing or modifying system software (such as drivers and updates), and when writing information to a CD or DVD.
  • When connected to external AC power, the battery charge icon and the battery meter icon in the system tray change appearance. When disconnected from external AC power, the computer uses power from the battery and the display brightness automatically dims to save battery life. To increase the display brightness, press Fn +  or reconnect the AC adapter.

  • If you use an external AC power adapter at all times, calibrate your battery often, or when the battery has charged fully, remove it entirely before continuing to work on external AC power. Continuously charging the battery without allowing it to expend its charge can degrade battery performance and shorten battery life.
  • Unplug the power adapter cord, mouse, and other peripheral devices when moving a notebook.

    Do not leave accessories or power adapters connected to a notebook while moving it. Pulling, twisting, or jamming these cords can break the connectors.

  • Gather the power cord loosely in a bundle when packing it away for storage or transport.

    Use a figure 8 pattern when bundling the cord. This allows for easy storage, prevents unintentional breaks in the wires, and keeps it from getting tangled.

    Figure : Properly bundled adapter and power cords

  • Do not wrap the power cord around the power adapter or any other object as this could inadvertently break the cord’s internal copper wires.

    Broken wires can short circuit both the power adapter and the notebook internal power supply. Broken wires can shock anyone who touches the cord and might present a fire hazard.

  • Use the power adapter on a hard, flat surface.

    When a high number of applications are running or when the battery is recharging, the power adapter might be warm to the touch when it reaches its power limit.

  • Connect the power adapter to a good quality surge protector if your local power supply is unstable.

    All power adapter certification tests for HP notebook computers are performed using a grounded power adapter. Damage can occur if an ungrounded power adapter is subjected to power surges or electrostatic discharge.

  • Ensure that the AC adapter plug is inserted completely and securely into the DC connector.
    AC adapter completely inserted AC adapter not completely inserted
    AC adapter fully inserted into connector AC adapter not completely inserted into connector

Use the following steps to connect your AC power adapter to the computer.

  1. Confirm that the AC power adapter is a genuine HP part and the computer is an HP product. Do not use an HP AC power adapter on non-HP equipment and do not use a non-HP AC power adapter on an HP computer.

    Figure: Genuine HP part

  2. Plug the DC connector into the power connector on the computer.
  3. Plug the power cord into the AC adapter.
  4. Plug the power cord into a working AC wall outlet.

    NOTE:Power cords vary in appearance by region and country.

Power supplies are a frequently misunderstood-and overlooked-PC component. Also called a power supply unit or PSU, the component that supplies power to a computer.

hy You Need A High Quality PSU ?

The role of a PC power supply unit is to convert the AC electric power that comes from the mains to the DC power that the computer requires. But it can do much more than that. A good quality power supply can make your system more efficient, stable and reliable.
Choosing Your Power Supply
Firstly, ensure you select a PSU from a reputable manufacturer.

Output

When choosing a PSU the output is very important. This output is listed as watts and should be greater than the combined wattage of all the components in your system plus 40 to 60%. Very simplistically speaking the more demands you place on your system the higher the wattage of the PC power supply unit should be. For example, a high end gamer will require a far higher wattage than a home user who surfs the net and does some word processing.

Energy Efficiency

But it isn’t all about the wattage. Efficiency is important so look for PSUs that have the 80 Plus certification. This indicates that the PSU will waste less energy than other units making it cheaper to run and much more reliable. PSU Cabling
There are different types of PSU and cabling. Fully modular power supply units enable the user to remove surplus cables from the case, whilst a semi modular PSU has a mix of detachable and hard wired, or permanent, cables.
The third option is a fully wired PSU which, as the name suggests, does not allow any cables to be disconnected. Of the three the fully modular unit is the most versatile.
