Batter won't charge... AC connected. 0% battery.

I've had my laptop for a while. It crashed (bluescreened), and windows 7 had to be reinstalled. After that, my wifi stopped working and my battery stopped charging. I've tried various driver softwares and solutions. Nothing worked. Today, my wifi magically started working! My battery is still the same, but my wifi gave me hope. I've tried various solutions on HP forums and nothing works. I used hp battery check. It says, " Battery: unknown. Please disconnect and recconect battery and power supply." or something like that. I tried. It did nothing. I've tried going into my device manager and doing various steps! nothing works! Any advice?

Well how old is the battery? If it is around 2 years old or a little older it is time for a new one. They can be working fine one day and just give up the next day.
The only thing you can try is to "uninstall" the battery. This explains it.

My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this?

My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this? Before it died, it said I had a full battery whenever I charged it, but as soon as it came off of the charger, the battery level was always under ten per cent.

Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced.

Computer turns off as soon as it is unplugged, batter won't charge either

my computer made a relatively gentle drop (about 1.5) feet, landed flat onto a carpeted floor.
now it works when plugged in, but the batter won't charge and turns off as soon as you unplug the power cord.
any ideas a

dc,
my computer made a relatively gentle drop (about 1.5) feet, landed flat onto a carpeted floor.
So how did it land? On the DC input plug? battery end? is this a 14 or 12"?
So two things come to mind. 1) Damaged battery/battery connector/logic board. The last would show up in cracked battery connector mounts . 2) damage to the DC in board such that the battery is not recognized but the iBook still works on wall power.

Hello Breejumpp,
Try Reset ( No Data will be lost )
Press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release oth On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen.

My late 2008 MacBook won't charge, is it the battery or could it be that I possibly damaged the connection spot on my laptop?

I tripped over the power cord and the piece that goes into my MacBook separated, I glued it and it was working fine until the other day someone tripped on it and it separated but it also looked different on the mac boo side, so I scratched of the rubbery film around the metal, again this is on my MacBook end. Now my computer won't charge, I thought maybe the charger was broken, but then I tested another charger and then my charger to another Mac and it worked, so I know it's not my charger, but somehow my computer. I don't know if the battery is fried, it had been not holding a charge for too long and it is the original battery but I don't know what the exact problem is, is a new battery needed or is it something bigger and internal? I don't want to bring it to the apple store for fear of a hefty price tag...help?

Hopefully, and more than likely, your magsafe charger has failed. Inspect the cord near the bending points for cable strain, that's common. This oage may also give you some guidance http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713

My BlackBerry PlayBook won't charge when connected to the computer via the micro-USB to USB cable

Can anybody help me? I don't know why but lately, when I try to plug my BlackBerry PlayBook into my Windows 7 laptop using the micro-USB to USB cable, it connects to my computer without any problems but it won't charge. Instead, I get a notification in the top left corner saying "Unable to charge battery with connected sorce". I have four USB ports and I'm positive that they work just fine because I plugged in some of the USBs I own into each of those four ports and they recognized the USBs without any issues. Does anybody know how I can resolve this issue? Thanks.

The notification is by design and was added to clarify that USB charging is not to be relied upon as a main method of charging. Instead RIM's good intention has caused confusion.
USB (by design) can not provide the amount of power the device needs while it's being used. Technically, it is still trickle charging but the screen has to be off (and I'd turn off Wi-Fi too) since they are high power draining items. I have verified that the PlayBook does indeed still charge but it takes much, much longer than plugging it into a wall charger or rapid charger. In a crunch it will work but the computer has to be on the entire time. A full charge would take many hours.

Annoying incessent beeps in videos / won't charge when connected to CPU

First of all my battery couldnt hold a charge within 2 months of buying my 5G Ipod, so I sent it in and got a new one. The new one has a couple of problems, one of which the old one had as well.
The one thing both iPods have not been able to do is charge when connected to the computer. They can connect fine, but if my battery is dead or low, it won't connect and I have to recharge it on my charger before connecting it to the comp. My old 4thG (Which died right after warantee expired) was able to charge on my comp.
However my major issue is that my video's have loud and annoying beeping sounds throughout when I play them. I've done the 5 R's(many times), it does it for downloaded files as well as some official apple ones that someone suggested. It does not beep when TV-Out is selected but does start beeping as soon as I try to view it from the player. It does it to ALL my videos, ones that worked fine for my previous 5G. Audio files work fine.
iPods have given me nothing but trouble as this is my 3rd one.

The USB mouse and printer do not draw any current from the USB port, so there's no info there. As you've stated, since your USB HDD uses an external power, that's not helpful either. I'm out of suggestions except you can see if someone else has a USB-iPod connector to try on your MacBook. BTW, if your IPT has a volume control on the left side, it's a G2.

New iPad Won't Charge when connected to Mac laptop

Heading pretty much says it all. I get a window that says something like "this acessory won't charge" or something like that on the computer screen. I can download music just fine, but the computer won't charge the unit.
Anybody else have that problem?
Thanks,
Tom

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes.

Ipod touch frozen, won't charge or connect with itunes

My ipod touch is 8 months old and is frozen. It just has the battery charge icon on display, have tried to restart holding the sleep / wake button and the start button but I still only get this icon. It won't charge when attached to my computer using the usb lead and it will not link to itunes. I have some photos on it which I do not want to lose. What can I do?

Could be a Battery problem... If so you will need to take it in to the Apple Store or AASP...

My iPod 4th gen. won't charge or connect to iTunes,What do I do?

My iPod 4g hasn't been recongize by iTunes and it won't charge when it is pluged into my wall or pc.I'm struggling to find a way to fix it.
It has been like this since yesterday and nothing had changed.I plugged it into the wall also and still it won't charge.What should I do?I'm desperate for answers.

After charging for half an hour, reset the iPod and connect the iPod to the syncing computer and try to restore the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.o
- If iTunes does not see the iPod, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPOd. For recovery mode see:

IPad won't charge or connect to iTunes

I've had my iPad for nearly 8months now and up until now it has worked perfectly.
This morning I tried to connect my iPad to my iMac (10.5.8) so that I could sync it with iTunes however the iPad was totally unresponsive. The home screen (that normally lights up when connected) stayed blank and the device did not show up in iTunes.
I've been browsing the discussions all morning and trying various things out but nothing has worked so short of travelling to my nearest Apple shop for help I'm really stuck.
Here is a list of what I've already tried;
1. Uninstalled and re-installed latest version of iTunes.
2. Connected my iPhone 4 (using the same usb, cable etc) and synced that with iTunes without any problems
3. Reset the default settings on the iPad.
4. Restarted iPad and iMac numerous times.
5. Cold re-booted the iPad (holding the home button and power button until the Apple logo appears).
6. Checked that battery on iPad is over 50% (its actually at 95%).
Hoping someone here can help ... I haven't tried restoring the iPad because if it still won't let me connect to iTunes i wont be able to re-install the backup.

I would have them check out the USB port on the iPad. If you cannot get it to connect with multiple computers and multiple cables, the only thing left is the connector port on the iPad itself.
Try an apple store or call them and see if you can send it in to be repaired/replaced.

Droid X won't charge when connected to computer through USB

I have a Droid X device and when I connect it to most computers it won't charge. I have the setting set to "Charge Only" but still won't charge. I have only come accross two computers that will charge the phone. Is there something else that I need to do? Other settings? Please help!

Are you using the charger that came with the phone? Sometimes, the 'generic' USB chargers aren't able to keep up with the charging needs of the X.
Are you using an older computer? I can't help but think that some older USB ports may not be strong enough...or even broken.
