Battery is not detected while charging

My laptop battery doesn't hold a charge while the charger is plugged in. Also, the battery icon on the bottom right of the screen has a red x. When I hover over the icon, it says "No battery is detected".
I tried searching on the system's help features and Control Panel with no success. We use the AC adapter that was included with the computer.

Here are the HP instructions for Testing and Calibrating your battery.

My battery is not responding while charging

my battery is not responding while charging

while connecting to itunes to restore, i am getting error. UNKNOWN ERROR 3194 WHAT I HAVE TO DO

A secondary battery was not detected, but your system supports a second battery.

Hi,
I have read this while testing my battery with HP tools dignostics:
Secondary Battery: a battery was not detected, but your system supports a second battery. You may want to purchase a second battery to extend your battery life between charges
What is meant with your system supports a second battery?
I think this 'your system supports a second battery' should have been said if my computer supported two batteries insereted simulataneously.
However, if this 'your system supports a second battery.' only means if the first battery got to its critical level, then I could shut down my computer, and then replace it with the second one which is fully charged.
As a result, I would be saying that my system supports a second battery, a third, fourth, fifth, and so on. I don't need to say my system supports a second battery.

Thanks a lot,
Then, for my laptop which only supports to insert on battery at the same time. Then as long as the secondray battery will not be inserted along with the primary battery at the same time, then my system and my computer don't support secondary battery. However, they support only one battery inserted. As a result, They wouldn't have said(written) a tip says during the battery testing 'secondary battery was not deteced, but your system supports a second battery.'
that they should have written system supports a second battery, a third, fourth, fifth, and so on which can be inserted instead of your inserted empty primary battery.
I really don't find any a docking station port on the bottom of my laptop. Do you think that there are some HP models can support two batteries to be inserted at the same time?

New battery is not detected on Satellite A300

Hello every body
I had this problem with my laptop Satellite A300 (PSAJ4E). I bought a new battery and started my laptop. I have Windows Vista.
The battery is not detected. When I remove the charger its work well but with indicator of low battery so Im update my BIOS but the problem is still there.
So I look around and tried to disable Microsoft in device manger.
Still not fixed properly. I removed charger and insert it again.
It shows the AC power supply but no charge.

hi king_soft,
sold a third party battery?
in some cases the used controller (battery) is not recognised by your system...
you can try this (without any promisses):
shut down notebook, remove battery, connect ac-adapter and make sure unit is powered
insert battery and wait 24hours
disconnect ac-adapter and remove battery
switch machine on to make it fully discharged (some components holding electricity)
insert battery and start the unit
check powermanager or energy options if the battery is recognised...
never open up a battery pack - it's really dangerous!
if the battery pack is recognised by the system - you won!
if not make sure that your ac-adapter supplies the right voltage/current to your system
test another battery to make sure the loading device (notebook) is working properly
if so exchange battery pack!
editing: found a info that the highest rated cpu is a Intel Celeron -M 380 (1.60GHz)

Battery is not detected in Equium U400-124

Hi Guys,
I bought a U400-124 yesterday and replaced it today for the same model and i still have the same problem.
The notebook works fine when its conected to AC power but as soon as i unplug it the notebook dies ? Its not the charger thats the problem, i have changed that also. On the icon that tells you if the battery is charging or not it says "Battery is not detected"
Does anyone have an idea why this happens ? All help would be hugely appreciated.

Hey man
I bought a Toshiba Equium U400 too. And i faced the same problem.
So I took it to the ASP (Authorized Service Provider) and they said it was not the laptops problem it was the problem of the battery.
So as I had a warranty I changed my battery and its running great..
Try my idea and your going to be happy..
So go to a Toshiba reseller or buy your battery online.
So you did a wrong thing changing you laptop should have changed your battery... happy to help and tell me if u have any other problem.
Bye

Battery life seems short or the battery does not hold a charge, seems to drain quickly or does not last as long as expected.

Solved!

IMPORTANT Notes while charging your Reader device:
It is recommended to charge the Reader using the supplied AC Adapter. When using the AC adapter to charge your Reader device, the lightning bolt symbol that appears next to the battery icon [FIG. 1] on the display of your Reader device is an indication that it is connected to AC power and is charging the battery properly. If the lightning bolt symbol is not present, double check the AC Adapter to ensure that your Reader device is properly connected. This symbol does not appear while charging via a USB connection.
If you charge via a USB connection and leave your Reader Digital Book connected to the computer to charge and the computer goes into sleep/hibernation, charging will stop and the red charge indicator on the Reader will turn off. If left connected, your battery may begin to discharge. To avoid this, turn off any sleep/hibernation settings while charging or set your sleep or hibernation settings to come on after your Reader Digital Book has been charged and then disconnect it from the computer once charging has completed.
It will take approximately 4 hours to achieve a full charge with a computer. It will take approximately 2 hours to achieve a full charge with the optional AC Adapter.
If your Reader Digital Book is left connected to a powered USB hub while the computer is shut down, your battery may begin to discharge. Disconnect your Reader from the hub when the computer is not powered on.
Always verify that your Reader is fully charged by disconnecting it from the computer and checking the battery indicator. The battery indicator will display 4 black bars when it is fully charged
On a full charge, the battery has the capability of up to 7,500 continuous page turns. Actual battery life will vary based on usage patterns, settings and battery conditions. When the Reader is turned on, off, or a page is marked, battery power is used, thus lowering the expected battery life.
NOTE: When storing the Reader for a long period of time, use the Device Shutdown feature in the Advanced settings menu. After using Device Shutdown, it may take approximately 30 seconds for the Reader to start the next time the Reader is turned on.
Playing audio will reduce the battery life. If you did not start audio play back intentionally, confirm audio is not playing. You will not hear playback unless headphones are connected. Audio playback will continue until it is stopped by turning it off from the Now Playing menu. To see if audio is playing, press the HOME button and then press the OPTION button. If Now Playing is displayed in the dialogue box that appears, tap Now Playing and this will take you to the song that is playing. Press the Pause button to stop playback of that song and then press the HOME button.
NOTES:
Due to the nature of the E Ink electronic display technology, the LCD can retain an image without having power. Turning the page is the only time power is consumed. If the Reader's power is drained, the LCD will retain the last image that was displayed, thus making it appear like the Reader is frozen and in some instances it will not have enough power to perform other operations such as turning on or off.
Battery life can be affected by operating temperatures below 41 degrees F, lack of use, or if the battery has not been given enough time to fully charge.
As with any battery, if the Reader is stored for an extended period of time, the battery will discharge on it's own. Therefore, it may be necessary to charge the battery prior to use.
If the Reader has not been used for an extended period of time, repeatedly charging and discharging will improve the efficiency of the battery.
If the battery life still seems short, the battery may need to be replaced.

Ideapad U410 Refurb from outlet - "Battery is not detected"

Hey everyone,
I recently purchased a refurbished Ideapad U410 touch from the lenovo outlet website and received it a few days ago. I charged the laptop and it says "battery is not detected" in the notification area. Once I unplug the charger, the laptop will instantly shut off and can't be used unless there is a charger connected. From what I understand, the battery can be missing, wires disconnected or faulty, or the battery is completely dead. Since I purchased it just over a week ago, I have a 21 day full warranty and another limited 1 year warranty on top of that.
I've contacted lenovo support over the phone and have been redirected in circles over 5 times without being able to get a replacement or ship it back. I don't want to remove the bottom cover either since that will void my warranty. Can someone please help me out with a direct number or who to contact? I've been told Post Sales Support is the correct department but I can't seem to ever reach it....
Thanks in advance,
Mitchell

Iphone 6 plus fingerprint is not working while charging

My iphone 6 plus fingerprint scan is not working while charging. Is this normal?
I tried my iphone 5s and it works just fine even while charging.

I think I got an answer to my own question
If you're using generic lightning cable (non-original lighting cable), the fingerprint scan doesn't work while charging.
I just find it weird as my iphone 5s works even if i'm not using the original lightning cable though.

MacBook Pro 13 Early 2011 Battery Degradation to Not Detected, User Replaced New Battery also Not Detected, Please Help!

I have a MBP early 2011 13 inch and do not have Apple Care. After I installed Mountain Lion I noticed the battery health was dropping pretty rapidly, with a service battery warning. I tried resetting the SMC and PRAM and even a clean install. I took it into an Apple store and they said I should have cycled it more, but I could still use it. The health dropped and dropped until a battery would not even be detected. Because Apple would not replace it for me for free and I didn't want to pay for them to do so, I bought my own battery. Once I replaced the battery with the new one, it still says there is no battery connected.
When I detach the battery and then attach it again, the battery indicator lights on the side show 4 dots. When I plugged in the MagSafe connector, the fifth light started blinking (I thought it was charging) and then it went back to all of them blinking indicating no battery detected. The computer also automatically turned on when I connected the MagSafe.
I have tired multiple times to reset PRAM and SMC even after installing the new battery to no avail. I can use the machine with the MagSafe connected, but as soon as the cord is unplugged or bumped, it goes into the emergency sleep mode.
Any thoughts on what might be ailing this not yet two year old machine? My first Mac lasted 7 years before any logic board fail so I hope that is not it. Anything I should try that I haven't yet? Any ideas on what this might cost me through Apple?
Thanks!

Battery does not have any charge

Hi I have a brand new Envy notebook 17-j131na running Windows 8.1 and the battery does not seem to be charging. It powers up with the AC power plugged in but when I put the curser on the battery icon which has got a red cross through it.
It comes up as plugged in and charging. I have had the power plugged in for quite a few hours and the notebook turned off and the notebook would not switch on with only the battery plugged in. I have done a bettery check and it says HP battery check unable to access battery. Has anyone got any ideas.

Hi,
Try the insructions from this link:
Troubleshooting the notebook battery
If that doesnt help then try performing a calibration:
Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 8)
After that also if battery is not getting detected then it'll be hardware problem..most likely the battery needs to be replaced.
The warranty of the battery is always one year from the date of purchase. If still within one year then call tech support and they will be able to get it replaced for you. Make a note of the error messages when the tests are run.
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

KDE battery monitor not detecting laptop battery

I am using KDE on my Dell XPS laptop. The default battery monitor that comes with KDE installation is not detecting the laptop battery. It is showing "Battery: Not Present". Because of this I am unaware about the time remaining on my battery. Any solutions please?

Have you tried rebooting *twice*? I've seen this issue but I've always resolved it by rebooting and then rebooting again. (The system goes rather insane on the first reboot and I always think either my hardware is completely screwed or my install of Arch is twisted far beyond the point of insanity. But then on the second boot, it calms down, finds the hardware and carries on quite happily. I've no idea why.)

Touch screen not working while charging

I have I phone5
The touch screen some times doesn't work or not sensitive while on charging
And also if I don't lock the phone automatically random selection happens and any app is opened
I'm not using third party accessory
Thanks

This is probaly a software problem in my opinion this could probably be resolved at the genius bar in any apple store also your phone should be under warranty as it is a iphone 5 and they did not come out not so long ago so in other words go to a apple store and they might have to replace the phone. In my experience this has nothing to do with the cable but a software issue in ios did this issue happen in any earlier version of ios
