My battery does not charge while plugged (Windows 7)
Hello everyone,
Last week, I received my new ThinkPad Edge E545. Everything seems to work well except for 1 detail: while plugged, I get the message "plugged in, not charging".
Anyone can help me? Thank you!
Glad things have apparently resolved.
Is there anything specific you did that might help other members?
Thanks!

Battery does not charge while plugged in
My computer is plugged into the charger and does not lose power while plugged in, however, it does not charge either. It currently sits at 63% power and says "Battery is not charging" when I mouse over the battery icon and verifies that it is plugged into the power adapter. Basically the problem is that it doesn't lose power when its charged in, but the battery isn't recharging either. The light on the charger isn't lighting up either, however, I've verified that its the computer's problem by plugging my charger into my roommates identical laptop. Any idea what the issue is? Thanks everyone.
I also have this problem with my Mid-2007 MBP.
I have reset the SMC to no avail.
I've noticed that if my battery appears to be charging (albeit slowly) and then I try to play World of Warcraft, it switches to "Not Charging" once the fans startup.
I just had it serviced and they replaced the logic board 1 wk ago and then I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Could any of this have an effect?
Battery health is fine as far as I can tell (below is the info from system profiler).

Model………Hp G61-420CA
System board ….. 363F 42.15
Bios ….. F.15

PN # ……..WA965UA#ABC
Win 7 Home Premium 64bit

What I have done so far:
Replaced Battery with correct new battery ……….. No change in symptoms.
Replaced power adapter with new…………. No change in symptoms
Reseated the Ram, altered position of both 1 gb and 2 gb memory module. …. No change in symptoms
Dismantled laptop, down to motherboard to check for loose ribbon cables.
Reseated lan and wireless lan cards.
Reseated processor
Reseated Hdd
Replaced RTC battery
Reassembled and no change in symptoms.
Checked setup in bios OK
Reflashed Bios with F.15 update (this during one occasion where the laptop remained on with battery and power adapter for nine minutes)
All with no change to symptoms. And the symptoms still exist.
All that I am left with is that it is due to a faulty motherboard after two years.

The PC does operate on the battery only, just fine (so far, as there is only 18% remaining).
The PC operates with AC plugged in also.
LED by AC input is amber (looks orange to me).
According to the User Guide that indicates charging.
Battery Check status is "OK"
I have had it on charge for over 12 hours and still at 18%.
When starting up, the battery icon shows charging movement then stops at a low level.
I measured the charger output at 20VDC (no load). Which is as specified.
I have tried all the suggestions about uninstalling and reinstalling the ACPI Complient Control Method.......etc.
Removing battery, shutting down and all the rest of suggestions.
No help.
I was told there was a BIOS update which I installed. (I'll post about that in another board). No help.
If I ever get this fixed it's going back to the vendor, Should not have this happen with less than 3 months since new.
Just got it back from repair for battery latch falling off. (Back plate was changed.)
Anything new would be appreciated.Hi @xdellman,
Thank you for your query and realize how frustrating this is.
I gathered from your post you have tried most of the troubleshooting steps to no avail.
If you check the adapter do you notice any damaged or bent pins as this can cause charging issues?
Here are two links that may also assist you.

I just purchased a HP Pavilion dv6-7043cl laptop and have noticed that the battery does not charge unless it is below 95%. I am very concercerned because I had a different laptop from a different manufacturer where I had battery issues. That manufacturer was not helpful and I will never buy from them again.
I have heard good things about HP which is why I decided to buy this particular machine. However, I have only had this machine for 3 days and now this is starting. I cannot find a Win 7 (I am running Win 7 home premuim 64 bit) setting that controls when the battery starts to charge. Is this a function of the HP Power Manager? Is this a feature of the battery HP ships with their laptops? Or is this indicating a problem with this machine? I am a college student and I need a reliable laptop for school.
Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
HanNan

Hi,
I have just got a new W530 (2436CTO) with the battery (70+?), BIOS ver is 1.07. The battery does not charge even I plugged in the AC. The battery status is ok and charging on the power control panel, but there is no estimated charging time and the level has been at 4%. I have changed all types of battery control profiles but that does not work. I have even followed another fellow's example and updated in the display card, but that does not work either. I have updated every possible thing except for the BIOS of the laptop, which requires a fully charged battery to update. I hope someone who has similar experience can give me some pointers.
Thanks!
Fai'afternoon.
the 70-series battery is correct for your machine. since it's new, i would call Service:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?DocID=PD008370 and ask them if they'll send you a replacement battery.
if a new battery fails to charge, then it could be something amiss with the charging circuitry in the laptop, but best to take one step at a time.
regards.

MBA battery does not charge when connected. Help!
My MBA battery does not charge when connected to the charger. Ive checked the other threads and followed advice but nothing seems to help.. My battery health info is good, I've tried cleaning the magnetic pins of the charger, reset smc but it still does not charge. The light on the charger is green or does not come on sometimes, and it's the same for a few Power outlets. What else can I do? Would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks.
It recognizes the charger intermittently. After cleaning, it showed the charger as connected but not charging the battery. I will try my friends charger later to see if it works. Thanks for your help!

Battery does not charge after rescue & recovery
Hi,
Yesterday I set up my computer fresh from the preload on the harddrive due to slowness, instabilities, inability to use VPN etc. After the reinstallation of OS and securiy updates, my battery does not charge anymore. The battery indicator on the front panel keeps blinking, and the Lenovo message center reports that irrepairable damage has been done to the battery and that it must be replaced.
My battery is not among the recalls by Lenovo.
Any idea if there's any option but buying a new battery? It just does not seem right that the battery is unusable after new OS setup.
Cheers, Thorbjorn

Battery does not charge when asleep
Ever since I upgraded to Tiger my PowerBook battery does not charge when it is asleep and the display is closed. It only charges when the computer is active and display is up. Anyone else experiencing this? Solutions/work arounds??
Hi, Donald. Try resetting your Power Manager, and you might also trash the preference file com.apple.PowerManagement.plist. If you trash the pref file, be sure to restart and reset your preferred Energy Saver settings afterward.

Battery does not charge,why ?
the battery does not charge any longer...why ?
Your battery may be completely dead — but even a dead battery will usually accept a tiny charge, even if it only powers the computer for a minute or two afterward.
Your AC adapter may have failed. If you have access to another adapter, test with that and see whether it charges the battery. If it does, try all the steps in this article to see whether your own adapter will revive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
The charging system inside your MBP may have failed. If you have no luck with the above, take your machine to an Apple Store Genius Bar for testing:

Someone from the store say that i must reset my motherboard because thats one of the problems.
Does any one know how i can fix this.

Please dont use any batteries which are not 100% compatible with your notebook!
This can damage motherboard and other 3rd notebook parts.
As far as I know the A100 is a one of the newest Toshiba series and the warranty should be valid.
For me it sounds a little bit like a motherboards power supply electronic fault.
Who knows ?:| The notebook check is necessary to locate the malfunction.
So dont waste the time and contact immediately the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
They technicians should check the notebook and should provide a help.
Good luck -
My battery does not charge, the battery is okay but no charging functionality
i have a g60 laptop, I think it is US120 model, It should be registered to me. When the AC charger is on it does not detect it and the battery does not charge. The battery got lower and lower and now it will not start. It also will not run without the batter in it and without charge in the battery. Any ideas_?
It sounds like your adaptor may have died. Here is a link that you can find information for troubleshooting your adaptor.
