I purchased my laptop now for about 6 months and the most annoying part is that there is never a low battery notification before my laptop hibernates. It has never shown up once.
The battery meter is active and shown in my system tray. I have gone into power options, changed advanced battery options for low, critical, and reserve levels as well as turned ON low battery notification. In system tray properties > notification area > customize > I have also selected "show icon and notifications".
The windows 7 microsoft website as well as many other forums only suggest to do these 2 things. I HAVE done these two things, as they were the original settings when I bought this laptop new...what else can I do? Is there a patch, download, anything?! I would rather not have to install 3rd party software. I would just like my laptop to function properly. I am not a heavy gamer or student, I just use my laptop to surf the web and watch videos. I also use free Avira antivirus, if any of this is important to why a battery notification won't show up.
Edit: My friend and I bought the exact same computer on the same day. His shows notifications and mine doesn't, so I know it's possible.

Just open your
"control panel"
and then "power option" then
"change advance power settings"
there select the profile you want to active( power saver ,high performance etc.)
Then scroll down to "battery" expand it and find "low battery notification" and turn "on" for both "on battery" and "plugged in" and you will done.
Note :- not necessary to turn it on for "plugged in"

It sounds like because you didn't see the notifaction about your laptop getting low on power and then shutting down with out any warnning.? I have also had this problem.. but you see when you go into the advanched setting and change it a little, it then stops working alltogether... May I say also there is a warnning message what will apper when something is, or will be changed.?
Your best option is to use system restore and restore your windows 7 back to say a week.? or two weeks, using this option will refresh your laptop back to a weeks date in the os sytem info which will allteritively reset the wrong setting that the os may have fault with.? I use windows 7 Professional on my Desktop and i have used this before with getting help with some issue's.
I hope this may be of some us.

If you've had your laptop or whatever for a while, you may have to get a new battery because even rechargable batteries will eventually stop working. You could find some batteries a lot cheaper on amazon than the origional ones and they work alot better too. I reccomend an Anker battery if that is an option for you. Just remember before the first use to plug it in and keep it charging overnight for the best results.
