Battery of Equium series would not charge

Hi all,
My laptop is having an unusual problem. It doesn't charge, I have changed the charger also but still i m having the same problem.
I dont know what the problem is...so please if anyone have any idea what may be the problem is and its solution than let me know.
I was using the three pin charger and now I have purchased a 2 pin charger.
Does it make any difference ?

Hi,
which equium do you have? Would be interesting for us, because there are many Equiums out there.
Regarding your problem: you said the notebook does not charge. The charger you mean is this that external thing which must be connected between your notebook and the wall? This is an AC-adapter. :) Just for better understatement.
You mean your AC-adapter wont charge your battery of your notebook. But are you really sure? I mean, it could be that something in your machine is defective. It could be something on the mainboard (which is that very important thing IN your machine) or your battery is malfunctioning.
Maybe it would be better to bring your machine to a technician which is familiar with these machines or contact a local authorized servicepartner to bring them your machine for a hardwarecheckup.
But before contacting someone which will do something with your machine you can try following:
Remove the battery and re-insert it, then try it with both AC-adapters ("chargers"). If it works then check if this happens more than once, otherwise bring your machine to an ASP. By following this link you can find the nearest available servicepartner in your country:

Battery from Equium L20 does not charge

I have a Equium L20 which battery will not charge. The Windows Powermanagment says it is charging but the percentage never increases, I have tried different batteries with the same symptom as result.
The battery LED is glowing orange as if its charging but not matter how long I leave it on the charge, percentage does not change. Windows detects the battery as fine with all the correct info.. I have tried to remove the battery but to no avail. .
Is this a software or a hardware issue?
Edited by: ADMIN on 07-Jun-2008 08:12

I have the same problem as you and have just posted a question on the forum about it.
Here is my story:
I have a TOSHIBA L20-197 laptop.
The battery will not accept any charge.
The computer says that the battery status is: 'CHARGING 0%' but it isn't charging at all so I have to run the computer off the mains.
The battery light, which should show ORANGE, and then GREEN when the battery if fully charged, is showing GREEN all the time.
The power lead got broken at the end where it goes into the computer and it's possible that I may have caused a short while fixing it.
Maybe there is a fuse somewhere that I've managed to blow?
I have now purchased a new battery and it still won't work so it's not the battery that is at fault.
HELP!!!!!!!!!

Re: Equium series would not start up

Well, newish...about 3 months old.
All was well. I got a new desktop so hadnt switched the equium on for a couple of weeks. It had been left plugged into power supply, which is switched on and off each day.
Today I tried to switch it on, and nothing. only the mains light shows on front panel. if i take out mains cable then nothing shows. I press on and absolutely nothing at all happens.

Hi Tim
Its nothing unusual if the battery drains 15-20% when powered off overnight.
Possibly you have enabled Wake on LAN (WOL) function in the BIOS.
If the Wake on LAN (WOL) function by the integrated LAN module is enabled the battery could lose about 20% of the power.
To avoid this WOL function should be disabled.
For details please check this Toshiba FAQ which I found searching on the Toshiba page in the Knowledge center:

I had the same problem with my iPad and my Phone.

(Worked for me) The only way to see it is charging seems to be to look at the battery percentage after a while.

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The battery on our IPad is not charging??

the battery on our IPad is not charging, what to do??

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.htmlhttp://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

The battery in my macbook is not charging

the battery in my mabook is not charging

I am also having problems with my mac charging. The light does not come on at all and it HAS to stay plugged in for the computer to stay on. When I push the battery button on the back, only one light comes on. If the cord gets pulled out, the computer completely shuts off and you have to turn it back on and start up the computer all over again. It never charges and right now it says Not Charging. We're down to about 16%. We took it to the apple store a couple months ago and he thought it was the logic board. But before we spend that kind of money on one and after reading some things on here, I'm wondering if it could be the battery. Any help would be greatly appreciated! And here is the battery info:

Battery of Satellite M70-340 not charging

I had a problem with a Toshiba Satellite M70 - 340 laptop harddisk, but everything else was working perfectly, and it was possible to run it on battery. So i sent it to a maintanance shop where they changed the hardisk and installed a new fresh copy of Windows XP. After i received it back i found that I'm not able to turn it on except when it is plugged to the electricity, and after a bit or looking around I discovered that the battery is not charging.
In addition to that, when i first plug the laptop to the electricity while it is turned off, the battery yellow/orange LED turns on only for like 3 seconds. And while it is turned on, the LED is always off, and the battery icon on the tray states that the laptop is running on AC, and does not say that battery is charging, it keeps saying 1% remaining.
I have also tried leaving it plugged to AC while it is turned off, hoping it might recharge, but i bite the dust.
So what would cause the battery not to charge if between a day and another (and just by changing the HDD and installing a new copy of windows XP) the battery stopped working?
And I was just wondering, does a BIOS update or a hardware driver fix this? I mean does a battery need some sort of driver or software to function?
Thank you

Hello Zaher
I have Satellite M70-159 and described issue is not known to me. If you are 100% sure that this strange issue started after you get it back from the service I recommend you to talk with technicians again.
Described behavior is not definitely normal. As far as I know BIOS update or drivers have no influence on it and for me it sounds as hardware malfunction.
BTW: remove the battery, connect notebook to AC adaptor and start the notebook. When OS starts properly wait few minutes and put the battery into the notebook. Please post us what happen when you do this.

Hp Pavilion g4, Product Number B6U80A, problem is Battery showed plugged in but not charging.

Hi,
I bought a hp pavilion g4 2036TU and Serial No is {Removed for privacy} and Product No is B6U80PA#ACJ from Cyborg world, Laminton Road, Mumbai, 400009 and invoice No is 302431 and that is hpauthorized showroom. From next couple of days i got a problem: "charger plugged in not charging". due to some busy work i not able to register complaint at that day but i register my complaint on 25-08-2012. They i...
ssue a complaint no is HP Case ID #: 4681263011 but now current Case ID number is 4682402097 after i track lots effort they sent engineer Pradeep(9022181367) on site at 8-09-2012, and he didn't got any solution, and told me that he will order a battery as there are some problem in battery, but on next working day he called me and told that he sent a mail which contain a link to update BIOS and your problem surely resolved by that. But after using that link i updated BIOS but still problem and when i call to hpcustomer care they told me that your case is transferred to hp service centers, Vashi Navi Mubai. In between that I busy in my office work for some day and not get time to call again and again. And i got socked when I receive a mail from "{Personal Information Removed}" that your case is closed because your mobile is not reachable. But i all-ready contact to many time on
customer care and also registered my response at Support Case
Manager one day before their closing mail. After that on 15-09-2012 i again waist my full day on hp customer care to resolve my isuue ,
but mostly they tell me your call connected in non-techinacal department, and you will get callback within 2 hour, but i don't get call back always.
After done lots of call to many person, swati, rajani, pradeep, and to many customer agent they told that a engineer again visit to detect the problem, but i don't understand why they sent engineer again and again to only detect problem. And today another Engineer Mahesh Rahate(9702788581) visit and told that problem in motherboard and need to replace, These guy doing R & D on my system, they don't know what is problem. I attached receipt which given by their engineer. Their are not link between hp service center and hp customer care. Customer care agent told your case is referred to hp service center and they contact you, but don't tell any updated status.
I have one major question why i ready to repair my mother board in newly system, I only want brand new System or refund my money. I have lost my hard earn money (approx 40000/-) in this process. So I only want either refund of money or newly brand system only, no any replacement.
I have lost my whole month in that process and i also affected my work which affected by because of this system. It cost me more then 40000/- financially. So my one and last option to either refund my money or give brand new product, I don't want defected system replace again and again and my work suffer in future.
And about my experience of Hp product, its wrost, in both term product wise and also in term of after sales services. How they pass testing of product and brought in market a defected product. And not provided proper service. So as per my experience I never suggest to purchase any hp product as per my worst experience of hp service after sales.
Thanks!

Brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen, tried to restore it and the battery died now it will not charge or switch on

Hello everyone I brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen and it all worked fab except it wouldn't let me put any new apps on it so my friend suggested I restore it which I did but while it was restoring the battery died. Now it doesn't seem to be charging and I have left it for ages through the laptop and tried it through a geniune apple plug in charger but its not working. When you plug in the cable to the laptop or plug the little grey apple comes up on the screen but only stays on for about 5 maybe 6 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions on apple but none of its worked, Shall we just bin it and learn from our mistakes.

If the second battery is a *known good* example that charges in another machine, then the charging circuit on the motherboard has been damaged.

Product No. dv6928us: Laptop is not running in Battery. Battery icon indicates, '0% available, Plugged in, not charging' even when the battery is inserted. But the laptop works fine in power mode.
Battery check indicates: "The primary battery was not detected. Check to assure the battery is properly inserted then restart the computer'.
Execution of this did not help.
Can anybody tell me whether battery life is over or loose connection in battery placement?

Iphone5 battery problem discharging and would not start up

my iphone battery discharge quickly and now it wont start up even after an hours charge on my mac and even with ac power ..

Hello there, rockyjamesolsson.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great pointers for troubleshooting issues with your iOS device not charging:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
