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.

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 when my Satelite Pro L500 is off

Hi.
I have a Satelite Pro L500. Normally when it is plugged in the DC in and Battery led lights are lit up. Now both are off when it is plugged in and the computer is off. I have found that in this state the battery is not charged. The computer will not switch on while the power is plugged in. If I remove the power source and wait a few mins the computer will now switch on and opperate normally.
If I now plug in the power the leds are lit and the battery is charged

Hm. You mean the notebook does not boot up when AC adaptor is connected but it powers up if the AC adaptor is not connected?
Looks like an hardware issue maybe power supply electronic problem
Of course the AC adaptor should be checked too
L500 is not a very old notebook series and I think the warranty should still be valid
In such case everything should be covered by warranty so dont loose the time and get in contact with an ASP technician

Macbook Pro-battery does not charge when on standby

Funny thing, I discharged my battery recently and when I plugged my power adaptor I put the computer to hibernation. When I opened the screen the charge was still 15%, same as b4 hibernating. The computer would not charge the battery whenever I close the screen and the problem remains. Anyone had similar problems?

This isn't a normal behavior. Have you verify if the magsafe adaptor was properly connected, i.e. that the amber-LED was on?

Fully depleted battery does not charge when BlackBerry 10 smartphone is connected to charger or usb

HI
I have a BB Z10, two days ago while travelling the battery got fully depleted and the phone got turned off. later I connected to the BB charger and the phone wouldn't charge, I tried to connect it to USB but it still wont charge.. just the constant blink of red light. I tried to remove the battery for 2 hours and plugged it back and no luck there. As I need my phone working, I tried to go to a service center but not able to locate the one listed on the BB website, I bought a new
BB Z10 battery and it worked fine. I went back to my place and it took about 1 hour for me and again the battery had discharged and I am with the same problem now. Now when I connect my Z10 to the computer (windows 8.1) I get a red+green slow blinking light and after say 20 minutes it connects to the computer and the phone get switched on... and when I see the phone it says Ëxiting battery saving mode""immediately followed by "turning off device" and the it loops endlessly.
Please help!!!

Go to Solution.

You need to use a known working wall outlet, not a USB cable to the PC, as a PC USB outlet normally doesn't have the charging amperage of a wall outlet.
So, connected to the wall outlet, leave it several hours. Then, still connected to the wall outlet, remove the battery a minute and reinsert to reboot.

Apple recommends backing up the data when you're getting the battery replaced by them. So I assume that you will likely lose the data during this process.
Will the data on my iPhone be preserved?
No, during the service process all data on your iPhone will be erased. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPhone and does not offer any data transfer service. During service, Apple may exchange your iPhone with an iPhone that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.
Following service, your iPhone may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need torestore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

Battery Icon Shows "18% available (plugged in, charging)" But Battery Does Not Charge

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.

Is there a settings in Win7/HP feature that the battery does not charge until it is under 95%

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

Droid X battery will not charge when phone is in vehicle mount

Droid X battery will not charge when phone is in vehicle mount. If you plug phone directly in to car charger it charges fine. This makes using the GPS virtually useless as it runs down the battery very fast. Anyone else have this problem. Other wise I love the phone.

Many of the Verizon Droid X car mounts have defective wires in them. This problem is widely reported on many forums and websites. You should return your product for a brand new replacement that is not defective (that is, the car charger will charge your Droid X when it is in the car mount).
I happen to love the Verizon Droid X car mount. Lot of ways to adjust it from different angles for different placements. Just get a Verizon Droid X car mount replacement that does not have defective wires in it, and it should work just fine!

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?

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.

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
