Battery refuses to charge

Hey guys,
I have an Iphone 4S, with IOS 7 operating system. Replaced screen and phone would not charge. Took it to Phone Repair store, they replaced the battery, seemed to be the only problem at the time. Battery refused to charge, took back to shop, they replaced battery AGAIN. However.......The battery WILL NOT charge when plugged into charger! I have tried a different charger, a new outlet, had the phone checked by the phone repair shop (after 2.5 hours, could not deteremine the issue). Have tried to restore it back to factory settings, have tried a new charging port, have exhausted my brain!!! Anyone else ever have this problem, and was the phone just a "goner" or was there something within it that could be fixed? Upgrade is in 2 months, so I don't really want to spend money on a new one.

Yep, the internal clock battery sounds like it has died. This battery has to be replaced by a service technician. It is inside the case.

My iPhone 4S battery refuses to charge past 1 percent. Why is that, and how do I stop it?

While I was out I check my iPhone at 90% battery. I checked it 5 minutes later and it was reduced to one percent. I had the Wifi off, and the Bluetooth off, and plugged it into a wall charger. Now it won't go past one percent. Help!

N100 Battery won't charge!

Hello Mark,
My N100 battery refuses to charge. My warranty curse has done it's job perfect. Things die down on me as soon as the warranty period expires. I initially thought that since i didn't use the machine for 3 days continuosly, probably the battery might have been over discharged. Followed the lenovo advice to switch off the machine and leave it on charge for 24 Hrs; but no results. Tried reconditioning etc. Can u please help.
Serial Number: L3-G6827
Model : 076876A
Thanks

Hey, last night after my phone died it refused to charge or even signal the battery picture which is usually what pops up when it has run out of battery life, whats wrong?

I've used various charger with my phone due to the fact that my original one broke and it's hard to get a hold of a real apple cable, So last night it ran out of battery and refused to charge anymore ( this was the third time it ran out of battery). It didn't react to any of the botton, it didnt even signal me with the whole " i need you to charge me " picture. later that night i decided to check on it and it signaled the picture so i plugged it in with the cars charger and it worked, my phone charged perfectly fine it turned on and worked okay. and this moring the whole senerio stared up again except now it won't charge at all i found an original Apple charger, i plugged into the computer, car, and house outlet and no response from the phone at all. I also I don't have the cable which charged my phone last night in the car it belonged to a friend and my phone still has no response to any bottons....

If you have one try using a different charger lead, adapter or plug socket. If that fails it may be that the charger port is broken. I had the same problem with my ipad but it was within warranty and I got it replaced at an apple store

Battery on my CQ40 refuse to charge (always stop at about 79-85% even tho it's plugged in)

Battery on my CQ40 refuse to charge (always stop at about 75-85% even tho it's plugged in). The charging LED light will starts blinking. It is running Vista but I doubt it is an OS problem cos even when I plug in the adaptor without powering up it will stop charging after a while. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

Hi,
can you please specify the Model Number?
- Please also clarify if you have HP Support Assistant installed.
I'm thinking in BIOS Update and Battery Test to check integrity, but need to know Model Number to provide good answer.
Waiting for feedback,

My new aspire v5 refuses to charge the battery. was working fine this afternoon, now down to 1/3 :(

the little green light is lit on the charging transformer. but the battery won't charge. thoughts?thanks,--Pete

Pete_M,
Does the battery light come on when the system is powered off? If so, it might be a bad charging adapter. Send me a PM with the following information and I'll see what I can do for you:
SNID or serial number

Almost new battery won´t charge, does not work on AC

After spending a few days in Taiwan (110V) the battery of my PB G4, A1138 won´t charge any more. Power connector lights amber.
After coming back to Austria, i connected the PB for 2 days and it would charge again and worked proper. Now, 2 months later, the battery again refuses to charge, coconut battery & system profiler say that there is no AC power connector & battery is not charging. It won´t power up with AC connected. I did the PMU reset and PRAM reset - no effect.
The battery is an original Apple replacement and has only 40 loading cycles. i´ve measured the voltage at the battery connector in the battery slot (3V & 6V depending on the pins), so the charger provides voltage.
Can anybody tell, if the DC-in board is faulty or if it´s the logic board or something else?
I´m thankfull for any advice!

It's fairly common for the pre-MacSafe power connectors on the computer to loosen due to stress. The points where the barrel-shaped chrome connector assemble is soldered (or flowed) to the logic board lose contact and you get intermittent charing at best.
If you connect to A/C adaptor and gently wiggle it up and down, can y ousee charging start again/ "Up" is the position where the contact should again meet.
My 1Ghz 17" MBP will not start on A/C alone until the battery has a little charge. I don't know it's the dead internal backup battery (common) of something else that causes two good 65W power supplies to report in Profiler as 45W.

My battery won't charge no matter what I try

It may be that the battery is just getting old and needs to be replaced, but I'd rather not drop $130 if there's some way to fix it.
As of this post, my battery level is stuck at 45% and, according to the drop down menu on the battery icon, is not charging. My power adapter is clearly supplying energy because the battery life only drops when I unplug it and the green light is lit on the plug. My battery cycle count is at 54, but the condition says "check battery".
My Macbook Pro is just over a year old but the battery has been acting strange. Sometimes my computer would just turn off randomly when running on battery power, sometimes as soon as 74% life. This problem inexplicably went away on its own.
Later, I had a problem where, even though plugged in, the battery would continue to drain all the way to 0%. I followed the instructions for an SMC reset and the battery started charging again properly.
This time the battery is just stuck at 45%, and I've tried restarting normally, resetting the SMC, and a PRAM reset. I've even tried the SMC reset method with leaving the battery out for an extended period before returning it to the notebook and starting up again (basically I've tried a variety of things that I've read from surfing help forums on this very topic in hopes that it would also solve my similar problem). However, it remains at 45% and refuses to charge (unless I were to unplug it, at which point that 45% would begin to drop).
Does anyone have any ideas? Obviously it's a pain to own a laptop that must be plugged in at all times to run, but I'd rather only replace the battery as a last resort, $130 is hard to come by as a typical broke college student.

Yo MR, howzit;
So, you got coconutbattery utility? http://www.coconut-flavour.com, donation-ware: awesome. My MBP is like 49% of original battery capacity; 132 load cycles; sounds lame but I am surviving.
Yeah, buying a battery ... Nothing like a new battery; which entails an expenditure. There were threads here last year about an AAPL credit for certain battery serial #s; search this forum. Else, keep trying: have you calibrated? The SMC reset; maybe try it again? Good luck; post back!

My iPad battery is not charging why ?

In the last 3 weeks my MBP 2009 battery stopped charging ,then a day after my MB whitewash battery also stopped charging even though health is normal cell count 99 and now iPad 2 Battery stopped charging .
The only explanation is Apple has sent a bug that turn off charging to get me to buy new products , however I refused to yield to this kind of trickery.
Like most business these days they in it for milking as much as possible
and make products that are difficult to repair and just throw them and buy a new one society so what are we going to do with all these broken things and then materials become more expensive it is madness .

I called them Apple and they said many Japanese were reporting that the cold weather was preventing charging , i warmed thre roomand so managed to charge the iPad and the MBP that stated that Battery needs servicing,the system profiler now states that it is in good condition !
And my MB white that had a dead battery ( putting that between my legs and maybe revive it ) ,and i put in a Black MB battery which has also charged .
How eveer the news that older computers runnimg Mavs reported battery issues this may cause people to buy a new battery like I did during the earthquake and then was given a free batteryand took the old one in.
I have took apart old iBooks and some Batteries inside the pack have a charge, I tried to get the good ones from a couple of packs and make one good one but did not charge.

Satellite M70 - battery cannot be charged anymore

Hello!
I have an M70 which is 14 month old and I have a problem with it: the battery cannot be charged anymore! The computer and the battery are in a very good shape, and 2 days ago the battery worked just fine (it is an original 4000 Mah battery and it had a life between 2 and 3 hours). Now, the computer doesn't start unless it is plugged and it permanently shows the battery 1% charged. The notebook doesn't suffer any phisical damage.
What is weird is that when I am plugging the power, the battery seems to be charging - the charging led is on between 5 and 10 seconds, and then it shuts off!
When it is plugged, the notebook works fine.
The questions are:
1) can it be a software issue, or maybe a virus?
2) how can I find out if the battery is damaged or the problem is with the notebook and it cannot charge the batteries anymore.
The warranty expired and the company from where I bought it refused to have a look at it.
Thank you,
Eugen

> can it be a software issue, or maybe a virus?
No, I dont think so!
>How can I find out if the battery is damaged or the problem is with the notebook and it cannot charge the batteries anymore?
This is not possible for the common user which doesnt have any experience and special tools.
I think you have to contact the ASP in your country for an check.
You will have to pay for this because the warranty expired and I really dont see any other possibilities.

My iPad mini charger works but my iPad mini refuses to charge. What do I do?

My iPad mini charger works but my iPad mini refuses to charge. What do I do?

Try a different cable
Try to clean out the 30-pin/Lightning port on the device using a clean toothbrush (or similar) & blow it out. There may be dust/lint preventing proper electrical connection. The older 30-pin port is much more prone to dust & lint getting inside and it's internal conductors are very small. Clean the port out thoroughly and also the 30-pin connector on the cable.
Don't charge using the USB ports on the PC. Most PC's USB ports do not supply enough current to properly charge your device. A USB port (or the iPhone's charger) supplies 5 watts of charging current. The iPad Air's charger supplies 12 watts of charging current. Trying to charge your iPad with your PC's USB ports or the iPhone's 5 watt charger is like trying to fill a water bucket (iPad's battery) with a little toy squirt gun (PC's USB ports or iPhone 5 watt charger).
Instead, use the charger that came with the device and the cable that came with the device.

Frequent Refusal to Charge?

I purchased my MBP about 6 months ago. Frequently (at least once or twice a week) it refuses to recognize its charger. After a few hours, it will suddenly start recognizing the charger again and begin to charge.
I don't think it's a charger issue because I have two chargers and this happens with each of them (I even try both of them when the issue starts up). I also updated my software last week but the refusal to charge happened again.
Is this a battery issue? What would be the best way for me to explain the issue if I were to go the Genius Bar?
Thank you!

Low Battery Screen when battery is fully charged

My phone has started displaying the low battery screen, and refusing to do anything, after being unplugged from the charger for a few hours. The battery is fully charged, but after only 1-2 hours, the phone starts to display that warning screen and going back off. Sometimes, if you push the home key as soon as the warning screen goes off, it will come up normally. Sometimes, it won't.
I believe this all started (along with the texting issues several other people have had) after the last update, I believe it is 2.2.1.
Is anybody else having this issue? I have drained the battery and restored, I have reset the settings at least twice, I have forced a restart... any other suggestions? Thanks!

Same problem. Just sitting beside me on the table occasionally the screen light up for no reason flashing the red low battery screen. Pressing home, power, etc a few times brings the phone up and shows the true battery charge which is wherever it would normally be - from full to partial discharge depending on how much Ive used it. Seems to not really be indicating something with the battery but ore of a random phantom ghost bug in the OS somewhere that displays that screen for no reason.

Logic board fine - battery still not charging

hi all,
i have a problem with my battery. here is the issue in the short form: my battery is not charging. the green led light is on even when the battery is not fully charged. the computer recognizes that it is plugged into a outlet, but it doesn't charge to one hundred percent. i've checked the outlet, tried different power adapters, and ran a hardware test on the logic board. all have not solved the issue. the logic board is apparently fine according to the test.
to complicate matters further and give you a better understanding of the problem, i'll describe in more detail the issue. when i turn on the computer after it has been shut down or if i unplug the adapter and then plug it back it, the battery charges briefly (and the led changes to orange) for about ten to fifteen seconds, before it stops charging. over the past three weeks since the problem started, i've gotten the battery to go from 44 percent to 76 percent simply with these short ten second bursts of charge. these ten second bursts only happen right after plugging in the ac adapter. once it stops charging, then it stays like that unless you unplug it and then plug it in again.
so guys, this is my issue. i thought that the only issues associated with this problem could be the power source, the ac adapter, the battery, and the logic board. the power source and the adapter are not the problem. neither is the logic board. although i am getting a new battery because of the recall, it was working just fine up until this issue. that is, it was able to be fully charged. i'm stumped and i don't know what to do. i would greatly appreciate anyone's advice. thanks so much.

I'm sorry it took me so long to see you message and I'm also sorry I do not have a solution to your problem which is exactly the same problem I have. I've done very similar things to it and still I have a problem. At this point my 12-inch is sitting idle probably awaiting a large repair bill. I've been dealing with this for over a year and if you look at the past postings on the discussion board you'll find out that more than a couple of people are or have had this power problem. I got my 12-inch G4 in the spring of '03 and a year or so later I begain to have the same power problems you have had. What has not happened to you, but has to me is that it refuses to either charge a new battery or even power-up pluged directly into the wall outlet. I've been hoping that maybe Apple would recognize there is a defect in this series of G4's and do free repairs, but I started turning blue from holding my breath.
