Battery icon says (Not Charging)...help?

My battery icon says (not charging) and it won't charge. The battery is dead but the AC adaptor seems to work just fine. As soon as I unplug it results in the computer going off though. Any help?

Hi and welcome to the Apple Discussions.
First, make sure that you have the most updated firmware and battery update for your macbook. You can also try resetting the SMC of your computer. Here are the steps:

Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

I do hope you have recent backup, because it look like your hard disk is failing. You can start up in Recovery Mode, and run Disk Utility to see if the disk can be fixed: OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support

The battery icon says "Not Charging" and the light on the charger isn't lighting up either?

I fell while my macbook was in my bag. It was already dead but when I went to put the charger in it wouldn't light up. To my surprise it still turned on but it said "(Not Charging)". I unplugged it multiple times and reset the PRAM and everything and it's still the same. It's as if I always need my macbook to be plugged in for it to work and not charge at all. Is it the internal battery? What else could I possibly do to resolve the issue?

Try taking the battery out and looking at it. If you don't see any visible damage, put it back in and see if taking it out fixed the problem.

BRAND New laptop, battery not charging, please help me

Hi, I received my macbook today, and the battery is not charging. When my battery was still charged, I could use my macbook. The led on the charger was green. When it got to 0%, the laptop continued to work. So, I removed the charger (brillant idea) and it stop. Now, I can't start my laptop, and the led is yellow. The battery can't charge more than one "square" (which I can see on the battery itself). When I try to boot, I get the starting white screen, but then it shut down.
What should I do?

I forgot to tell...
I tried to remove the battery, push the power button for 5 sec, and then restart, but without success.
After 15 minutes of "charging" (while the laptop is off), the led turns from yellow to green.

Plugged in, not charging - PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I have a T61 and from yesterday my battery is not charging. I have a 9 cell battery and when I plug in the AC adapter, it shows "plugged in, not charging" status on the battery icon in the system tray. Could someone please help asap?
Thanks,
Animesh

so if you unplug the ac does the battery discharge?
Try to uninstall Thinkvantage power manager and then reinstall it.

Nokia E71 Does not charge ****Please Help*****

Hi everyone,
I purchased this phone second hand and was completely in love with it. It was working for about 2 weeks and suddenly stopped charging. Does anyone know how to fix this? It is no longer under warranty. When I plug it in, the battery bar does not increase.
I appreciate your time

Remove the battery.. Insert.. then retry..
Check by charging thru' a different wall outlet..
If you have access to another compatible charger.. try with that.. or If your charger is compatible with some other phone... try charging the other phone..
If you find that the charger / wall outlet is not the problem.. then Do you know.. since how long the first user was using the phone .and whether the battery was ever replaced ? If the battery is older than 1-1/2 year.. It may need a replacement..
..also may be the case that the Phone s having some Hardware issue..

Macbook Pro Retina not charging, please help!

I recently plugged in my charger, and the green light did not come on. I then clicked on the battery at the top of the screen and it says that it is plugged in but not charging but that the power source is the power adapter. Right now my computer is stuck at 14% when plugged in. Please help!
This is the available inoformation on my battery from my computer.

If anyone could help that would be amazing!!

I've noticed the same thing on my 13" rMBP. Plug in the MagSafe 2, and sometimes the light comes on instantly. Sometimes there is a 20 second delay before the charging indicator kicks in. And occasionally, the light has turned off hours after it has been on for awhile.
Anyone else seeing this issue? If it is widespread, it could just be a firmware update to fix.

Please help !! - G560e will not charge - PLEASE help!!

I bought a secondhand G560e last week and have been very happy with it , but now it is failing to charge.
When the power supply is unplugged the led glows steadily but when it is plugged into the notebook the led flickers very faintly and the notebook will nor charge.
I have tried it with the battery out and it does the same.
Please advise

hi cornwallray,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
When you turn the computer ON with just the AC adapter plugged-in, does the computer turn ON?
if it does and the charging port doesn't wiggle then there's no problem with the DC jack (this is the connector on the laptop) and also the AC adapter and your battery might have already worn-out over time.
if it doesn't turn ON, try to take out both AC adapter and battery and press and hold the power button for 30secs and re-insert the AC adapter. If same problems, the AC adapter might be bad. If the charging port wiggles, that might be faulty too.
These are the usual battery LED indicators:
1. steady yellow / amber or white light means the battery is charging
2. blinking / steady red light means the battery is not charging (usually comes with a beep sound on selected models)
3. steady green light means the battery is full
4. power light ON / battery light off means no battery detected.
Hope this helps.

Nokia 6085 dead battery? Does not charge! HELP!!!

After the battery of a Nokia 6085 mobile phone was fully used, the phone turned off (display off; black). Now, the battery does not seem to recharge when connected to the mains.
How to fix it? Any help most appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Update for the records (in case it may be helpful to someone):
Today, the same thing happened (the battery was exausted and the phone did not turn on after connecting to the mains via the charger). Probably the battery had been completely exhausted for a week or so.
I did as above, but this time I did not hear any sound when connecting the charger. Pressing the big metallic button did not work.
So, I also pressed the four smaller buttons-keys (located arround the big metallic one), pressing them one after the other in a row (first the top right blue selection key, then the bottom right red end key, then the bottom left green call key, and finally the top left blue selection key). And a few seconds later the phone came to life turning on its screen! Eventually it made a noise and charged OK.
I know, I know all this is because the batery gets completely exhausted, but I usually do not use any mobile phone at all, so this is in a table drawer and sometimes I forget to recharge it. I may receive one or two calls on this phone each month or so and that is the only reason that I keep it.
As said, this is just for the records, in case it may be helpful to someone.

My iphone 4s will not charge PLEASE HELP

it started about a week ago my phone wouldnt charge i bought a brand new usb connecter it worked fine once. it would only charge now and again or the phone had to be completely dead for it to start charging. now once my battery runs dead it says its charging but once it comes back on it stops charging and im currently stuck with 1% so my phone works for 5mins then goes dead again!!! i have recently upgraded the software to 5.1.1

Hi there
Can you please let me know what they say tomorrow? Mine is doing the same thing, and it seems to be happening to lots of people. Did you install OS 5.1.1 by any chance?
My phone has to be completely dead to charge, although it doesn't show the charging icon. I can't connect to iTunes or anything, it's really annoying!
People keep suggesting that it's a problem with the cables (it's not as my brother's phone charges, plus mine does if it's switched off), or there's dust etc in the USB port (there's not but I cleaned it anyway), but I think otherwise as it's too much of a coincidence that so many on the various forums are experiencing it.
Thanks, and I hope you get yours fixed

I'm using Pale Moon x64. The icon on the task bar and start menu looks like a 'computer' and not the pale moon icon-why is that?

My computer is Windows 7-64 bit.
I recently installed the Pale Moon x64 from the proper site.
All is working properly, except that the 'icon' for PM in the task bar and start menu is not the blue moon. I wonder why that is and how I can change it.
This happened on install of PM.

Thanks, but I can't find any answer to my question there.
I can't even figure out how to post a question.
When I put a few words in the comment section/bar, the result was nil.
Everything is working, I just want the icon to be correct.
I guess the motto of 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it' may have to satisfy me.
Maybe it will change when there is an update.

Missing task bar and screen icons/Windows 7

My pc boots up fine but after it's finished, I only have a backround screen, no task bar and no screen icons. Is there a fix for this?

Try this:
Right-click the desktop.
Select View > Show desktop icons (if it doesn't have a check mark next to them, your icons don't display).
Move your cursor to the very bottom of the desktop and see if the taskbar doesn't pop up into view. If so, right click it.
Click Properties.
Clear the Auto-hide the taskbar check box.
Please let me know if that works.
