Battery died after one year. Will not charge. Why?

I spent $125 on a nano last year and in 12 months it wont charge. Yes I have it plugged into a wall outlet. Has been for 14 hours now ans still wont charge. Is the recommendation to buy a new one?

Scott - Your answer ultimately led me to the answer, albeit months later, after much internal deliberation and some trial and error... thanks!
Ruled out battery (as crazy as that sounds - it's had a bajillion cycles) as it didn't make sense that battery would charge but wouldn't work while awake. I have a friend whose battery is completely shot and his still works as long as magsafe is plugged in, and mine wouldn't even do that. tried another adapter and that worked. then tried mine in a different plug. so in the end, turns out I had a bum powerstrip... mag safe / battery recharge works properly when just plugged in somewhere different.
So no need to buy a new charger or battery (yet!)
thanks to all,
Ian

HTC One M8 will not charge

I have tried different chargers and the phone will not charge. When I put it on the charger, I get a red flashing light and after 5 mins the light is gone and I cannot turn on the phone. Now the phone has no charge and I am not able to do a factory reset.

Never had this issue on my ONE M8 but you might try getting your phone to restart by booting into recovery mode..
see if that helps.. It may be also you have a Battery that has Deep Discharged and will need charging before the Orange light comes on and stays steady you should also hear the Phone Vibrate.. Put the phone on the charger set close to it if you can see if starts charging after 15 to 30 min. have past by it should and it may take up to Hour if is really deep Discharged anything past that and you have the Same Results 0 level I'd say something is failing in the Battery or phone that helps make it charge..
Do a Google Search find Boot into Recover HTC ONE M8 Good Luck, Have a Good Weekend.. B33

IPhone battery dying after few hours from 100% charge

Since I upgraded to the iOS 5.1 my battery life on the iPhone 4S has been ridiculous.
For example, I left my house at 740am with my phone on 100%, I have browsed a little (safari and facebook) for no more than 20-30 mins in total. No apps are not running in the background as I ensure to close apps once i have finished with them. And now at 1400 I am left with 28% battery. i am not due to be at home until 1900.
Have I been unlucky with getting a dodgy iPhone from Orange?? the model is MD242B if that helps.
Also, notifications and banners are all turned off except for phone, messages, whatsapp, remainders, calendar.
I am careful not to over charge my phone, I do use an app called BatteryDoc to monitor my charging.
I always let my battery go flat before charging to 100% (with no trickle change), i believe this is a normal charge and what BatteryDoc advises i perform a full charge..
I am slowly regretting this phone after 6 months now.......
any input is welcome.
Thanks,
Cookie

This was driving me insane too. I love my iphone but this is the one flaw. I tried all the "maximizing battery life" suggestions, and it helped slightly.
I have one suggestions: buy an iphone battery case. I bought one off ebay for $29.99 and it is amazing. Nearly doubles the battery and is way nicer than the one at Apple (not to mention 1/4 of the price). The item number is 200795419418 on eBay in case you are interested.
Hope That Helped!!

Lenovo T61p battery stuck at 0%. Will not charge.

Hello,
i bought my t61p about 3 months ago. Everythink worked fine but two days ago i left the computer on standby without the power plugged in. When i then started my pc with the ac plugged in, i noticed that my battery was on 0% charge and it wasn't charging at all. The power or battery management tool is saying that the battery is fine. But i can't tell why it isn't charging. The orange battery light keeps on flashing.
I turned off the computer and let it plugged in to AC for about an hour, but when i checked the orange light was still flashing.
Did i make a mistake somewhere by leaving it discharged for a few hours some time? I was really brutal to my toshiba and it's battery still charged so i wasn't expecting this to happen.
Any way i can diagnose where the problem lies? i'm pretty sure the whole laptop is still within warranty.

I'm sorry to hear that. By all indications the battery might be dead. Have you tried to take the battery out and unplug the AC power and let everything sit for a few minutes? I don't hold much hope but it's worth a try. Put the battery back and plug in the power supply and wait ten minutes or so. A dead battery may strain the power supply so I wouldn't leave it trying to charge it too long. Monitor the heat of the unit.

my battery on my iphone 4 will not charge unless the phone is turned off. Has anyone else had this problem?

Is this observed as the iPhone is plugged into a Computer or into an AC outlet; or both? In any case you should try a Reset of the iPhone by depressing the Sleep button and the Home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears then wait for the Reset to bring your iPhone back to the Lock-Screen.

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

My Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks on the left side. I am running Lion. How do I get this to charge and turn on? Thanks

If your model Macbook Pro is the calibrating model, let the battery calibrate.
If not, and are still under warrant or have Apple Care, give them a call and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Also:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
