Battery Plug-in Problem

I am halfway thorugh a thesis and am so ready to chuck this computer out the window. It is a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC Notebook, dv6000 if all that helps. I have had this notebook for nearly three years, and I have only recently encountered a problem with it when it charges. I have all cords plugged in correctly, the adapter is in the wall (and I know the socket works), and the computer does not always charge. If i toggle with the plug in the side of the computer, it does work, and then if it shifts, it might not. the light may or may not come on, and the icon may or may not change to show charge status, depending on the position of the plug in the side of the notebook.
Please help me figure this out. My father thinks it may have something to do with the connections of the pins inside the actual computer. From the performance and the finnicky nature of my computer's charge, I want to agree. If the plug does not charge (sometimes i put a stapler to hold it in place, that seems to work sometimes), the computer runs out of battery within 40 minutes.
Any ideas on how to fix this charge issue? Anyone out there experiencing the same thing and has had success with the repair?
Thanks in advance for your input!

If you already have checked the problem is not the battery ( usually when the battery is new or when the battery is charged on another notebook), or the AC to DC converter, then you must check this first:
1) Remove your battery,
2) Unplug your power cord from the notebook,
3) Push the power button for 15 seconds (if necessary you can hold down for 1 minute),
4) Plug the power cord into the notebook,
5) If the power led is on, your power adapter is probably working,
6) Push the power button,
7) If the computer powers on, your power adapter is probably working ( it's more certain than before),
8) Try to use the computer,
9) After Windows finished the entire start up process, you must insert the battery,
10) It's expected that the battery icon shows charging.
If it happens to you, therefore the problem is in the motherboard. The exact point it is in the IC responsible for check and control the status of the battery. Up to know I don't know where is located the fault IC. This fault IC is a Voltage Comparator, usually it is an Operational Amplifier.
If you remove the powerplug the computer will start to drain the battery until the end, but if you reinsert the powerplug the computer WILL NOT detect, and it will continue to drain the battery until the end.
If you remove the battery with the powerplug inserted, the computer will turn off, cause it doesn´t recognize the power source from the cordplug.
Remove the power plug, insert it again without the battery and the computer must be able to turn on.
If you turn on the computer, and after this you insert the battery than the computer will start to charge the battery.
Resume:
A) To charge the battery you must insert the battery after the computer it is on.
B) To use the battery power you must disconnect the power cord, but you won't be able to charge it until you turn off the computer and remove the battery, and to follow the step A.
I verified that the problem happens to all DV6000 ( DV60xx ), DV6100 ( DV61xx ), DV6200 ( DV62xx ), DV6300 ( DV63xx ), DV6400 ( DV64xx )and DV6500 ( DV65xx ) series.
My case is a HP Pavilion DV6104eu, that I bought in UK.

Lenovo P580 battery "plugged in, not charging" problem?

Hi, I have a Lenovo P580 that is almost 3 years old, and I recently bought a new battery from Amazon to replace the original battery that came with the laptop. However, after installing the new battery, I can't get it to charge with the AC adapter plugged in. The new battery had a 60% charge initially. I currently have the battery setting in "battery fully-charged mode." The battery indicator light is red and flashes quickly, regardless of whether the AC adapter is plugged in or not (and despite having 60% charge). In the bottom right-hand corner of the desktop taskbar, the battery is recognized as being "plugged in, not charging." Is there a way to get the battery to charge? Or should I return the battery and get a different one? I really don't think the battery is the problem, but who knows. Thanks.

hi MlodyDziura,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Can you Verify that when the Computer is Plugged in and Turned on the battery icon on the lower right states that it is Plugged in not Charging.
And how many Percent it says on the status.
Thanks

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Depending on the CSS, live view and design view can be totally different.
Its often best to type in your copy in the divs and then add the CSS to format it.

When I view or upload files (such as on You Tube) there is no longer normal image movement. All action has a "strobe" effect as in slow motion, but audio seems normal. Is this a plug-in problem?

All of a sudden when I view a file that's been downloaded, or viewed on line, whether in Windows Media, or on You Tube on line site, or Power DVD Play program, the image appears as if it was in a slow motion "strobe" effect, while the audio sounds consistent, (barring the frequent stalls). If I burn a DVD, it has the slow motion strobe effect burnt into the disc as well & is difficult to view on a DVD player. Is this a plug-in problem that has suddenly manifested, and is there a way of getting the system back to it's normal operation??

Hello Joe.
Try disabling all add-ons (that's extensions, plugins and themes, go into ''Tools > Add-ons'') except for Flash and see if the problem persists. If they don't, enable one add-on at a time until you find the problem. If they do, try a new [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles Firefox profile] and see if it has the same issues. If it does (make sure other plugins aren't enabled), you need to contact Adobe for support on their Flash plugin ([https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ updating] it will be the first thing they tell you to do). If it doesn't, please tell me.

Keeping macbook battery plugged in

so you guys leave your macbook battery plugged in all the times(i.e. even when you go to sleep the light on the magsafe adapted is still green?) or do you unplug it when you go to sleep. and when you keep it plugged in do you remove the battery? im using my macbook at home, so its plugged it all the time to reduce battery charge cycles. but, i noticed that the battery still drains when the macbook battery is plugged in. the day before it was at 100%, then i unplugged it when i went to sleep, yesterday it was at 99%, did the same thing, and today its at 98%. i know that anything above a 95(?)% charged will not get the battery charged, so following this patter, my battery will prolly reach 95% 5 days later or so, and this will get the battery to start charging. my question is if i keep charging the battery at 95%-100%, will it decrease the battery life? and after 20 times of 95%-100% will it accumulate 1 charge cycle? if so, do i decrease the battery to 50% charge and then store it until i need to use the battery, so i doesnt keep on going through the above mentioned cycle.

This answers some of your questions.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
All batteries have a self discharge rate even if they aren't being used. This accounts for the drop you see. I have mine plugged in 24/7 most of the time. I calibrate it every few months and once in a while I just run on batterys to let the electrons flow. Then when it gets below 90 % I let it charge. Short cycle charges are not bad for it. Most of the data says this is better than running your battery flat everytime you use it.

Relationship between battery and overheating problems?

I have several questions related to my battery.
1) Looking at the sales page, one of the reviews says apple will replace the battery for free. I assume this reviewer is still under warrantee (which I am not, unfortunately). If there's any truth to this statement (e.g. for a while apple was replacing failed hard drives on 13" macbooks purchased around the time I bought mine. i found this out after my 3rd hard drive failure in 18 months) I would really really like to know.
2) My battery is warped. One topic here about a warped battery says to replace it immediately, but I asked the last time I was at a genius bar (for the 2nd hard drive replacement) and they said a warped battery was no problem. I asked explicitly.
3) HOWEVER, my laptop has a heating issue. I have been under the impression that this is standard for macbooks, so I didn't think much about it before my first hard drive failure. Now, I watch the temperature closely and have a program that lets me increase the fan speed, but sometimes the temperature can shoot up unexpectedly. Normally, i try to keep the temp ~60C, which is still like twice the recommended temperature. I'm afraid the heating problem precipitates the hard drive failure. On a whim, I took out my battery today and immediately the computer ran more stably around 60C temperature. If I put the battery back in, the temperature shoots right up again (say, if I'm watching a video). What is the relationship here? Is it a known issue? Is there any way to get them to replace the battery without me having to shell out $120?
For reference, here's the current battery info:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 4526
Fully charged: Yes
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 4559
Health Information:
Cycle count: 179
Condition: Good
P. S. I almost always run the laptop of the adapter rather than the battery -- I basically only use the battery to work when I'm traveling (several times a year) or in order to transport the laptop without turning it off (pretty much daily). I assume this is why the condition is good. Also, I've never calibrated it. Huh, also this is an interesting part of a reply from someone else's thread: "you should know that Applecare doesn't cover the battery, it is specifically excluded unless it's defective." I actually was sold the extended applecare on the premise that it only cost a little more than a new battery and I probably would need a new battery before the warrantee expired. Funny.

One could probably make the argument that the fact that the battery is bulging while system profiler says that it is still good is an indication that the battery is defective. Be polite but insistent, especially since your computer is still under warranty.

Plug-in problem: battery 2

i have correctly installed battery 2 w/the audio component in the correct place but it's still nowhere to be found when i run logic express 7.2
i have updated the version of battery but still no dice... any ideas whats the problem???
any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Battery opens with Rosetta, in emulation. However, since Logic is an Intel-native application, it won't open with Rosetta. You can't open a plugin with Rosetta if the main app is runnin' native.

A135-S4527 Battery plugged in, not charging

There are 1000s of posts on the net but no solution is working. I'm summarizing the problem for those who are already frustrated by seeing solutions in the following order and did not work, so please do not provide any solution mentioned below 1. charger/cord/plug/outlet not working 2. battery dated non working 3. battery contacts unclean 4. restart / push power switch for 30 secs etc There are many where any of the above doesn't work as permanent solution. Sometimes it seems as working but it doesnt last for longer. Now stating the problem of mine specifically My battery was gone. I knew that when this started. The issue was, even if the AC Adapter is connected and the battery is ON and detected, it would always say x% remaining (Plugged in, not charging) - where x is < 100% . This message is so frustrating (even now I'm seeing this and I need to post before the battery gets discharged) Why would a AC Adapter not charge when it is connected and battery is charged less than 100%? Even if lets say a battery pack is not holding enough charge, it should attempt to continuously charge if the charge is less than 100% This has started when I upgraded the laptop Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527 to Win 7. I've replaced the battery with a new one and only thing I can charge the battery is shut down and keep the laptop with battery connected with AC Adapter. Since last few days even the red charging LED has stopped showing up. I've found that the problem is related to "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method battery" Have perfomed all sorts of instructions as given but none works Funniest part is when this message is on and battery is not charging while AC Adapter is connected, it is still drawing power off the battery as the % goes down and it simply knocks off when battery is fully discharged, completely ignoring that the AC Adapter is connected (Yes, it is connected as you can see the icon with the pin) I'd stop here for some advise before this goes off again. Thank you so much for your attention

MacBook goes dead as soon as power cord is unplugged..time for a new battery or other problem?

For months now my MacBook has been iffy with the battery percentage. It will show 2hours then within the next minute 25 min then 10 minutes then it shoots all the way up to 3 hours. Now it won't stay on unless the power cord is plugged in...and says "not charging" at the top of the screen. Am I in need of a new battery? Or is it something else? Have never had this problem before...my MacBook is approximately 3 years old...

You are posting in an iMac forum. I'd recommend re-posting in the MacBook forum.

HP laptop battery plugged in not charg.....

I bought a HP Mini 5101 from US in April .I had the common problem of charger being plugged in but not charging, I tried all the reboot and tapping the power button etc, etc... None worked, so as long as the computer worked when plugged in I carried on, until now. It has completely died on me now, so help...

1) if the battery is charged for around 90%(depends on model to model it may be 80% also) its normal to avoid anty unwanted charge cycle. this will help improve battery life.
2) if the machine is not charging because to used in too hot ambient temprature or its heating up for some reason. option is to let the machine cool down and it will start charging. this is again technology limitation and safety measure.
if above are not true: Try this:
Disconnect AC
Shutdown
Remove battery
Connect AC
Startup
Open Device Manager
Click the plus (+) sign next to Batteries category, right-click All of the "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" listings, and select Uninstall In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK. (it’s ok if you only have 1 of these listings).
Click the plus (+) sign next to System Devices.
Right-click the “ACPI Fixed Features Button" and select Uninstall. In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK.
Shutdown
Disconnect AC
Insert battery
Connect AC
Startup
hope it helps, Good Luck !

Download, battery, and sleep problems on macbook pro with retina display after upgrading to Mountain lion

After waiting a few days to download OS X Mountain lion, I finally installed it on my new MacBook with retina display a couple days ago. I love the interface and all the new features, but I've noticed some problems I really need to resolve. I'm constantly downloading large files and I noticed thhis change:
Before, on Lion, I could download files from Safari or the Internet and the computer would sleep whenever it was set to on energy preferences and the download would resume. This would let the computer conserve energy so the download could progress further when on battery. Now, I noticed that my computer never goes to sleep! Its set to have the display sleep in 5 minutes and the computer in 15 on both battery and when plugged in, but it never does either. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that power nap is on even when using battery. So now the Mac is constantly on when downloading something and instead of downloading a one gigabyte file that would take up 15% of my battery, it takes up 60% since it never sleeps. When I tried downloading something and then manually putting the computer to sleep, the download was interrupted and it said Wi-Fi connection lost so I have to start the download over again.
That's basically all three problems in one situation. I even put the brightness all the way on low so the screen is black when downloading, but it still uses up much more battery than before. Can someone help find a solution?

Did you try turning off power nap?

Is just a low battery or another problem??

Ok - so I was going for a walk the other day with my ipod nano. The battery was about 1/2 full (according to the icon) but then I dropped, it bounced and then landed in a small puddle. (Not a good day!) It wasn't totally submerged and I picked it up quickly. And, I had a cover on it that I think kept it from getting totally wet and I quickly removed the cover to get any water out. I dried it off and then went home and set it aside to dry out for about 2 days. Now, I've got it hooked up to my computer and the screen on the ipod is flashing between the apple icon and two different low battery icons. (It seems to be cycling through the three images.) I've tried to re-set it according to the directions on this website but nothing happens. Soooo...here's my question, is the battery just really really low (I've had it hooked up for about an hour now and its still doing this.) OR is it a bigger problem (probably caused by the drop and puddle. Any help is appreciated!

Charger Plug In Problem

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with charging my HP 2000-369WM Notebook. When I try to plug in my charger, the red light indicating it is charging as well as the battery indicator on the display does not change.
I try to jiggle the cord, but it takes awhile before it recognizes.
Do I need to get a new charger, or will that matter at all and it is a laptop problem?
Thanks for any help.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello ophelialie,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that no charging is taking place, and there is a flashing red light. Jiggling it to work shouldn't have to be done. There is probably a hardware issue, but I will do what I can to assist you!
Before anything else, please try the steps I provided in this thread, as they will likely resolve the issue if there isn't a hardware problem: Re: battery charging
If not, please try Testing and Calibrating the Battery. You should be able to find out if the battery has any issues, since testing the battery should be done.
If none of this helps, you should be able contact HP phone support and they will determine what to do with the hardware. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns, and if this helped you. Thanks for choosing the HP Forums. Have a great day!
