And here are the steps with the calibration technique.

  • Try to turn on your laptop while it is still charged in order to Safety mode. It’s very simple, when the laptop tries to turn on (boot) you can press the button F8 repeatedly and select Safe Mode.
  • When the laptop has successfully turned on with the glass screen display in Safe Mode, you can remove the charger that was being used.
  • Definitely try not to use the laptop. Leave the laptop silent until the battery runs out and the laptop turns off.

In these moments, try to calculate how much battery power can still be used if more than 2 hours means that the battery can still be used.

  • Recharge the laptop and turn it on as normal. If you are lucky, the red cross on the laptop battery will disappear.
