Battery isn't charging... PLEASE HELP!

Hi all,
The problem is pretty much in the title.
The charger is plugged in with ~6% battery life left. It is running on power from the mains, but it says that it isn't charging.
For the exact message: "Plugged in, not charging"
Why is it doing this and how can i fix it?
Thank you for any help given!
Jack

THis is also happening to my computer.  The same exact issue.  My computer is three weeks old.  I didn't notice a problem withn my computer until I unplugged it and tried to use it and it shut off.  I noticed the batery had 0% charge.  I contacted HP and they did the battery diagnostic and it showed a bad battery.  They sent a new battery and I plugged it in to charge.  It is a week later and now I checked to see if it is at 100% (its been plugged in for four days without unplugging, and shutting it down at night, giving it all night to charge while off) and the battery is now at 18% and reading "Plugged in, Not charging."  It isn't draining the power, since apparently its running off the plug, but it is not charging. New battery, same problem.  I am trying to get HP to help, but haven't heard back from the person that has been emailing me.

    N73 ME Battery HEATING TOO MUCH - Please Help
    Hi Friends,
    I am from India
    Need Help/Suggestion from Mobile Gurus right here
    I have 1 Year Old N73 ME and I mainly use it for Calling and Texting. Very Occasionally I use it for Music/Gaming and Browsing the Web.
    The phone is completely in excellent condition
    The problem is that: While charging ONLY the Battery gets too much HOT and it never shows Battery is Full (Charged it for Max 1 Hour 45 Minutes)
    This problem suddenly appeared, so I formatted the Memory Card as well as Hard Format/Reset the Phone, but still the Battery is heating too much
    After disconnecting the Phone from Charger, the Battery is FULL and I can use it without any problem and as usual. The Talktime right now is around 2.5 Hours and Standby time is around 2-3 Days
    Please tell me what to do
    If you want any additional details I will post here
    Thanks a Lot and With Best Wishes

    Hello Sir,
    Thanks for your response
    I would like to add that the Temperature here in my city is around 43 Degree Centigrade (yes! centigrade, I am from Middle state's of India) everyday. Is this problem is due to so much heat?
    Thanks again

    In most countries they will do so for a fee. US$199 for a 4S. It may just need a new battery, which Apple will install for about US$70.

  • Battery isn't charging, randomly crashes

    Currently my battery isn't charging (at all).
    Before this instance, I had to plug and unplug the magsafe a couple of times before it eventually started charging. Unfortunately, I tried another adapter and it also took a few tried before the laptop started charging.
    I just got done resetting SMC and PRAM, so that didn't help any.
    Also, my laptop has started to completely shut off without warning. Sometimes the battery indicator claims it has charge, other times it says it is completely empty (even though it is actually full when I get the charger to play nice with it).
    Here's the details from Profiler:
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 1410
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: No
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 6288
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 543
    Condition: Normal
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): -1535
    Voltage (mV): 10934
    Side Note: The lappy isn't under warrantee anymore so I was hoping to avoid a trip to the Genius Bar.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

  • Battery isn't charging on my Satellite A350-220

    Hey, I have a HUGE list of problems (some that can't be fixed) on my laptop that's 5 months old but let's start with the most urgent problem.
    The battery isn't charging all the time. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't, it's quite random... Sometimes it even says it's charging but it isn't. It just stays at 30% for example.
    I have windows 7 and newest bios. Tried rebooting, placing battery after boot with cable and no battery etc. Nothing seems to fix the problem. Tried reinstalling drivers. Nothing.

    > How to make the laptop charge the battery properly?
    It is always easier to ask something like this as get proper answer.
    Be honest what can you do about it? You can start your notebook on AC power supply only and when OS is loaded you can put battery in place in hope battery load will starts.
    If this will not help there is maybe some problem with power supply electronic and this must be fixed by authorized personal only.

  • My MacBook Pro is plugged in and running on power from the power adaptor, but the battery isn't charging - what do I do?

    The magnetic charger and port are clear and clean and clicking into place smoothly.
    My Mac has had 2% power for the past few hours but is running on power from the power adaptor.
    But the battery isn't charging - what do I do?
    Thanks!

    Depending on the model of MBP, buy a new battery or take it in for servicing to get a new battery.  You could also try an SMC reset to see if that helps, but your symptoms don't sound like the ones normally solved by a SMC reset.

  • HT201263 I followed every step (twice) to the letter to try to restore my ipad to no avail. It is stuck on the usb cable icon (yes it is charged), please help.

    I have follwed every suggested step (twice) to restore my ipad to no avail. It is stuck on the usb icon (yes it is charged), please help.

    Did you try restoring using Recovery Mode? Sometimes you have to perform the steps a few times before it works.

    If that continues to fail, how about DFU mode?

    my ipod nano 7th generation....works fine as long as it's on the docking station. when off the station, the display goes dark after a few seconds. it's fully charged. please help. this is the heartbeat of my business. thanks

    In the worst case, it's still under warranty (all 7th gen nanos are still under one year from purchase).
    So, you disconnect it from power, and it almost immediately goes dead?  You can try a Restore... but it doesn't sound like the type of problem a Restore will fix.
    You should probably have it looked by Apple Tech Support.  If there's an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar.  To avoid waiting, you can make a reservation at the store's web page

  • 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?
    Message was edited by: mguillemette

    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.

  • Adapter light GREEN but battery does not charge NEED HELP, PLEASE!

    My battery won't charge but the problem is a little different from others I have seen posted. The battery shows 3% charge but the adapter light is green. If the computer adapter is disconnected, the computer shuts down (as we would expect at 3% charge). I used another MacBook Pro cord to plug in and the same thing happens.

    I purchased this 15" MacBook Pro (Oct 2006) from a reputable non Apple Apple dealer but f course this problem started a week or so after it was out of their resale warranty. There is nothing to say "check battery" just that it is not charging. It is a trek to ANY apple dealer or reseller and it is hard for me to get there easily so I was hoping someone might have an idea what is wrong and do what I can from home. Could it just be the battery? It seems more like a problem with the adapter connection. OCCASIONALLY, the light on the adapter will flicker on orange/red for a few seconds before going to green.
    THANKS!

    The only way to tell if you have a hardware problem is to trek on down to your local AS or AASP for them to run some diagnostic tests. If it turns out to be just the battery, you can purchase directly from them. I am assuming you do not have AppleCare....
    Not sure if you can run the same tests at home. Hopefully, you have the right tools. Search through the following "do-it-yourself" sites:
    iFixit
    TakeItApart
    Also do a YouTube search. Loads of Macbook Pro +"how to"+ videos.
    Good luck!

  • White screen appeared twice now when Curve 8520 battery is low? (Please Help)

    I'm really worried that my Blackberry is going to die ... I've only had it just over a year & I'm still paying for it, so for it to die on me would be truly upsetting!!
    I've had the white screen twice now while my battery is low, I've seen a fix online about if you get the white screen & it won't come back on, but I don't know if that would be good for me to do, also can you please let me know before any fix if I will lose anything such as my BBM contacts for example!!!!!
    Here's my device info as requested :

    I've done a battery pull each time the phone has done this ... & it's just re-booted the phone fine, but the fact the white screen issue has happened to me twice now in the past few days is worrying, it's always when the battery is low .... I've noticed the battery seems to charge up quite quickly too ... not sure whether that means anything.
    Please kindly help as soon as you possibly can ... I want to fix this early on the best way I can with hopefully not losing anything either ... such a gutter!! :-(
    THANK YOU TO WHOEVER KINDLY TAKES THE TIME OUT TO HElP ME HERE!!!

  • 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.
