Why Is My New Dell Laptop Battery Draining So Fast. From yesterday my laptop battery is draining so vigorously that it drains 3 in every 5 minutes while using ms powerpoint as also i am not able to see the brightness bar and also graphic card is not detected in laptop. Update the BIOS - httpdellto1n3X2po - enter the service tag and download the BIOS update and restart the machine and check.
The reason behind it is that when the Bluetooth is on the laptop is continuously searching for another Bluetooth device to connect nearby. 2x 512GB M2 drives. I proceeded to tweak my battery settings to Battery Saver mode and even that didnt prevent it from draining fast.
If that doesnt help you will have to install fresh graphics driver directly from Dell I always go Intel driver first then Nvidia works everytime.
If you want to limit background activity for all apps turn the Battery saver. May 4 2016. It seems like your problem is the Optimus which is not working. If the system is less than a year old we can replace the battery under warranty.
