FAQ and troubleshooting
The chapter describes situations that you may encounter during
use of the Joybook Lite, along with basic troubleshooting steps.
If you are not able to resolve the issue, contact a nearest BenQ
service center for assistance immediately.
Battery and power
How long should I charge the battery for the first time?
The length of the charging time may vary. Check the battery
icon in the notification area located in the lower right corner of
the desktop to see if the battery is fully charged.
My Joybook Lite won't start up with the battery inserted. What
should I do?
• Make sure the battery is properly inserted.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged. If this does not work,
consult your BenQ dealer.
What should I do with the battery if I will not use my Joybook
Lite for a long time?
Recharge the battery or discharge it to about 40% full, and then
store it in a dry place at about 15
°
C to 25
°
C. Extremely high or
low temperature will shorten the battery life.
The battery icon in the notification area on my Joybook Lite
suggests that the battery is fully charged. However, when I check
it from the Power Manager in Windows, the battery level is only
about 95%-99%. Why?
It is the result of the battery protection design of your Joybook
Lite. When the battery icon in the notification area on your
Joybook Lite shows the battery is fully charged, it means that the
battery has reached a saturated voltage: 95%~99%. At this
moment, the voltage difference detected by your Joybook Lite is
very small, so it will reduce the charging current to prevent
overcharging the battery with excess current or voltage, which
will damage the battery. Moreover, in order to protect the
battery from exposing to high voltage and current for a long
time during charging, the battery has been equipped with a
protection circuit that will charge the battery at low current in
the final phase.
How come my notebook is not fully charged even after a full
night charge?
Make sure the Joybook Lite is receiving power. Is the power cord
plugged in correctly? If the battery is installed in the Joybook
Lite and it is properly connected to an AC outlet, check if the
battery meter icon is showing a charge sign. If this does not fix
the problem, then the battery, the power source in your Joybook
Lite, or the AC power cord may be defective. Consult your
BenQ dealer for help and maintenance.
