New ipod, battery wont charge - any suggestions?

I have had my ipod for less than 6 months and the battery charged without issue using any sort of charging station but it stopped charging a few days ago. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My new iphone5 will not charge,any suggestions

Hello, my new iphone5 will not charge, when I plugged it in to recharge, it was making beeping sounds for about 5 minutes then stopped, any suggestions? thanks

First of all, you'd probably want to move this question out of iPod classic category to iPod touch one.
Try reconnecting your cable. Try connecting to your computer instead of wall socket, or vice versa.
Try resetting, restoring, restoring from backup. Make sure there's nothing wrong with your cable and try another one. The problem might be in your connector or the cable, if so — you might want to ask for a repair in your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Reseller.

Hi sdennisonta,
If you are having an issue with charging your MacBook Pro, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Mac notebooks: All about batteries - Apple Support
If the battery appears to be working correctly you may want to see if the issue lies with your power adapter. Use the steps in this article -
Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Battery not charging when plugged in

I have a Pavillion g6-1d11dx laptop and I have two problems (and I don’t know if they are related). First, I have been having trouble with the battery not charging while it is plugged in to the AC outlet. The battery icon in the systray currently says “40% available (plugged in, not charging)” and the percentage has been consistently going down over many weeks. Most recently, when I unplug it from the AC it no longer goes to battery reserve, it just loses power entirely (and when I plug it back in and turn on the power I get the “system was not shut down properly…” message).
Second, and I don’t know if this is related, but for several weeks the fan has been running, seemingly non-stop, especially overnight. I don’t know if it’s relevant, but I have a scheduled nightly (1 am) definitions update and full scan that usually takes about 2 to 2-1/2 hours. But my wife says no matter when she gets up in the middle of the night, the fan is always running, and the unit has been very hot. My wife has been concerned about a fire (though it's not a model listed in the recall). I downloaded a BIOS update from the HP website hoping that would help. The fan seems to have been running less, but hasn’t stopped entirely.
I wanted to see if I could detect any problems with the battery, so I went through all the suggested troubleshooting protocols listed on the HP website, but ran into a hitch when I tried to use the HP Support Assistant utility on the laptop. When it opens, the Support Assistant displays "An error occurred" (instead of "Support Assistant") in the window's title bar and the system variables ([Product Name], [Serial Number] and [Product Number]) listed in the Support Assistant status bar all say "Loading...", but never do load. When I go to the Maintain mode to check the battery status, it says "No pending action", and, as suggested on the HP website, I click the Refresh button (then, in the pop-up window that appears, I choose the “Check all updates, but install only important updates automatically” radio button, then click OK). But while the result page displays “Pass” on the checks for “Connect to HP servers” and “Preparing the action list”, it displays “Fail” on the checks for “Downloading updates”, “Gathering information” and “Analyzing your system”. Oddly, when I run the system check from te HP website, it DOES auto-detect my system info (Serial Number: 5CG21919LT; Product Number: B7S84UA).
I tried to open the HP Connection Manager utility, but I get the HPConnectionManager.exe fails to load ("Cannot load assembly: CaslShared, Version=3.5.1.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9c6f83d5b7f3d097. The application will now exit.").
Can someone tell me how to properly connect to HP to allow the utilities to do their diagnoses? And/or why my battery isn’t charging and I can’t get a system diagnostic?

I should note that this unit is pretty new: purchased in august 2012.

HP Pavilion dv7-3164cl (battery not charging)

I have a HP Pavilion dv7-3164cl Entertainment Notebook PC that I purchased from Costco around 2 years ago. After having it for about a year and a half or so it just stopped working all together (wouldn't boot up at all).
So here I am trying to get it to work today. I researched various "plugged in, not charging" threads around the internet.
I eventually got it to boot up but the battery is not charging, it is just going down running off the battery.
I followed this link to try a few things Battery Does not Power Notebook or Hold a Charge
I have the led indicator lit up, telling me the ac adapter is working fine but yet the battery still doesnt charge. The bottom right of the taskbar doesn't say "plugged in" or "plugged in, charging".
Going to the second step of "troubleshooting the system board" on the link I provided had me do this...
"If the power supply works properly, troubleshoot the system board using the following steps:
Keep the computer connected to the external power source and remove the battery.
Press and release the Power button to start the computer."
When I do this my Notebook doesn't power on, it needs my battery to turn on (and it does just fine, with everything working) but as I said, the only problem is that the battery isn't charging.
Then I read further and see this...
If the power LED is on , but the computer does not power on, then the computer needs to be repaired. Contact HP Service and Support for further assistance.
So any suggestions as what to do next? I really don't want to send it in (too costly). I already tried buying a new ac adapter and that wasn't the problem. Maybe buying a new battery perhaps? I was thinking this because it wasn't used for quite a few months, but I was thinking it at least had to receive the charge at the very least. Maybe dying once I had the ac adapter removed, but when I first got it fired up it was up around 86% even after all this time and I was doing a few updates to the computer when I noticed it wasn't charging, but then I had ran it down to about 13% so I shut it off for fear of it turning off for good.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS: I already tried the reset method by removing the battery and disconnecting the ac adapter and holding the power button down for 20 seconds. I also tried the method of going to Start > Device Manager > Batteries > Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery > uninstall, Then scan for harware changes.
Both these methods didn't work for me.
Again, thank you in advance for reading this plea for help.

Hey there,
did you resolve the problem? I have my computer at 48% until it says plugged in, not charging.
All the tricks found on the web did not work - any suggestions?
Thanks

No AC Power, Battery not charging, Windows boot up issue

Searched the forums but could not find an answer for my specific problem.
COmputer: L355 - S7905
Windows XP Professional
Issue: installed new motherboard. When on AC power, laptop shows a steady green LED light but will not boot up without the battery installed. Will not stay running when the battery is removed or dies. When plugged into AC power, battery charging light is on but battery continues to lose power; will not charge. Had the computer operating properly initially but noticed the power issue. I ran a chkdsk on one of the subsequent boot ups and now have a "config.sys file missing" error and can not get into windows any longer. I was going to try some of the battery charging suggestions listed on this forum but no longer can get into windows or the recovery council. Last screen attainable says to select "R" to repair system using a Windows disk. Can not get to a DOS prompt.
Status so far:
- Ran volt meter check on power adapter and getting steady 19 volts. Various motherboard checks with a voltmeter are seem normal.
- All LED lights on laptop are indicating the computer is working in a proper state (ie power light on, batt charging light on, HDD light on when in use, etc)
- replacement motherboard is the EXACT same motherboard as the original. Same model - identical.
- Can get passed BIOS screen successfully; can get into boot options screen (Safe Mode options, command prompt, etc) but all options eventually default to an error message I get from the chkdsk program and I can not go any further.
- Laptop did not come with an original Win XP restore disk.
- Battery is a replacement but is the exact same part number as on the Toshiba original battery. Battery seems to be operating perfectly once it is charged (had to go to computer accessory store for charge)
Questions:
- Why is the AC power only not able to run the laptop?? Is it a software issue??
- Once I can get into the windows OS, I presume I should be able to correct the battery not charging issue . . . is that right?? Sounds like it is a software issue from what I have read on the forums. My plan was to reinstall the Windows operating system but I can not do that on battery power alone.
Any suggestions on how to proceed??
Thank you - Paul
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Lawrence - Your suggestion was right on target, the replacement adapter solved my power problem. I would have never believed that to be the problem since the digital voltmeter was indicating the required 19v from the defective adapter, I would obviously NOT have figured this out on my own. Thanks for your time, response and help on this issue, I really appreciate it.
Paul

Satellite L55-A5284 battery not charging

I have had this Toshiba Satellite L55-A5284 for about 11 months now. Everything was going fine and then less than 5 days ago I unplugged the AC adapter and the laptop just went off. Long story short went on Toshiba's troubleshooting section in Support and answered some questions and it told me that I needed a new AC Adapter. Received the adapter today and plugged it in still have the same problem battery not charging. I called Toshibal support and was told that my laptop has a built in battery and in order to change it without a fee being charged to me I would have to send my laptop to Toshiba and wait 7 to 10 days to get my laptop back. I do not like this solution since alot of my personal information is on my laptop and the length of time I will be without my laptop. Does anyone out there have any other suggestions for me to get the battery replaced free of charge?

If the Troubleshooting Assistant finds that you laptop needs a new battery, it can send you a battery as well. It'll work just like the swap with the AC adapter. Unfortunately, you'll have to change the battery yourself (or get someone to do it for you). I don't like commenting on the difficulty because it's so subjective. You'd have to take the bottom case off to reach it. It won't void your warranty, but if you damage anything else while attempting to change it, that could.

DV4 1275 Power Issue, Battery not charging, Will not Power with AC only

HP Pavillion DV4-1275mx
Battery will not charge, Laptop will not fully turn on with battery in (battery not charging at all). Laptop will not power on at all with no battery using only AC and with battery it will attempt to load and die due to lack of charge.
Have tried 3 diff HP chargers.
The orginial 1 that came with the laptop is dead and will not charge anything. Tried it on a diff HP laptop and not recognizing any power
The 2nd one is OE HP laptop diff model but same wattage that came with my gfs work laptop. I have charge my laptop with it before in the past however it is not charging the battery now either
The 3rd is a aftermarket generic one that my g/f bought in the airport and it works with hers as well however I have never used it on mine.
I have tried hard resetting.. taking out battery, holding power for a min and replugging everything.
Also when I remove the battery and plug in either of the chargers that do work the power LED are "not" lighting up on the front or the LED where the AC plugs into the laptop. Which makes you think the charger is bad however the 2 working chargers do work on my other 2 HP laptops.
If i plugin one of the 2 working chargers with the battery it will go through the boot process and as its starting windows it just dies and shuts off. The power led by the DC jack does light up and the charging light on the front lights up. However this only works when I unplug the battery and plug the AC charger in. After the laptop boots up to starting windows and dies. I have to remove the battery and replace it to get the LEDS to light back up.. If the MB was bad I wouldnt think any of the LED's would come on nor would the laptop boot up to the starting windows. If keep trying to turn it on the booting time is shortened as the battery is not holding a charge and sometimes it only makes a few seconds and then just dies out.
I dont have alot of money to spend so I was hoping maybe you could point me in the right direction.
Should I buy the replacement part OE charger for my specific laptop? (not sure if its going to be much diff than the others since they are all 65 watt chargers)
Should I buy a new battery as well?
Or does this sound like a short problem in the mother board or a solder issue with the DC plugin?
If it is an issue with the motherboard I do not want to go through the hassle of buying the battery and charger as I will end up having to just replace the laptop
If you could please advise me what direction to go I would be so greatful.

Dude, I have the same exact problem with mine. It's not a cheap fix either. It definitely is the motherboard.
I'm no expert, but I believe the problem is a dead capacitor on the motherboard preventing it to build up a charge.
I spoke with an HP rep, which told me it's $398 for them to fix.
I let them know that I didn't have another $400 to put into this laptop. So, they suggested I try reseating the motherboard. And also reseating the memory modules.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01597750.pdf
That is a pdf of the laptop's manual. It'll help in reseating. Page ( 59 ) for the motherboard. Page ( 67 ) for the memory modules.
This hasn't helped at all with mine, but maybe it'll help with yours!
