Battery said it's charging but laptop is not holding any charge. At 0%
Having a battery issue and laptop not holding charge. My laptop was working fine yesterday and this is the first time I am having this problem. When I plug in the charger the light turns orange as to indicate it's charging but this is not the case. Also the orange light flickers to white sometimes to note full charge but I'm at 0%. I can only run the laptop for a minute or two before it dies. I checked the icon on the bottom right and it shows that it is plugged in and charging but stays at 0% and dies in a few minutes.
I've tried searching and tried everything.I can't remove battery easily as it is an ultrabook. I tried waiting for laptop to cool, shutting down manually, disconnect charger and plug back in, trying different wall socket. Can't seem to find a solution please help!
Hi nomanhp,
First Try these Steps -
1) Go to Device manager (Control Panel) and check with battery (ACPI and Adapter) that weather its installed or uninstalled.. If uninstalled then reinstall it.. If you find the battery installed in the control panel, try uninstalling it and reinstall.. See if u find any change..
2) If no Change found. Along with Following the above steps, shut down and restart your laptop for every uninstall..
I mean, at device manager, uninstall the battery, turn off the laptop and start the laptop again (you might also select "restart with last good configuration" by pressing F8 while restart)... While reinstalling, the battery gets automatically reinstalled..
You might also try clicking "scan for hardware changes" at device manager..
3) If the problem Still persists, then ur battery is probably dead and is malfunctioning.. U would need a new Hp Battery..
If none of these above resolve ur problem, then there should be a problem with ur power board and u would need the help of expert to fix it.

Good Luck!!

My laptop got wet - battery icon now has a X inside and it is not holding any charge at all, anyone else dealt with this scenario?
The battery is not detected, so it means that the battery or the battery connector are not working, which is a serious problem.
Turn off your MacBook and take it to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be an expensive repair if your logic board has to be replaced. Read > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5511 -
I have a early 2008 Macbook pro and just bought a new battery, but it is not holding a charge
I have a late 2008 Macbook pro and just bought a new battery, but it is not holding a charge. I read it may be the charger,
that sometimes is blank, but it does charge my computer.
Anything I can try?
I have updated to 10.9.2

You will not get anything on the screen as your iphone is powered off.

Hi. Try updating your machine first and see to it that all firmwares are install. After that try reseting the SMC. Here's the link. Hope this helps.

My ipod gets warm/hot on the back when in use or charging. It will also not hold a charge and is not operating correctly.
Apple will do it for $79.
A third-party place like this one is less expensive. Google for more.

HP Pavilion battery healthy and charged but laptop is not running on battery
A serious and odd problem has developed with my Pavilion (HP 15-N096EA PC)
I removed the battery when the machine was switched off and pressed the start button as this procedure was suggested on a site for clearing malware issues.
Since then, my laptop has refused to run on battery. Behaves as if there was no battery in it. The Pavilion is relatively new, the battery is in perfect condition, charges to 100% and keeps the machine running for up to 6-8 (!) hours. Not kidding.
Even now, the mains connection charges the battery, the little icon says so in the system tray. It is now 100% charged.
But when I unplug the mains adaptor the whole thing dies immediately.
I applied electric contact cleaning liquid to the connection ends of the battery, even measured the voltage in the battery with the tipped ends of a volt meter. All reading perfect values, yet the computer has stopped working from battery.
An hour ago this computer worked completely well on battery, but since the current "draining" exercise absolutely nothing. Tried all sorts of options: Taking battery in and out while on mains, nothing doing. If I am correct, battery calibration can only happen with the computer running on battery and this computer refuses to run on any battery.
What has happened here please? ANY HINT,ADVICE, SUGGESTION from professionals, non-professionals most desired and appreciated. Thanks.Hi @Squinancy
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
From your description it sounds like you were try to do a hard reset of your notebook to start with, but it is possible it was not done properly. Read through this, and try it again.

If after that the computer is still not booting up on battery, check through this one next.
Battery does not power the notebook or hold a charge
Let me know how it works for you, and if you have more trouble please post any other details you can.

I am wanting to see if a restoring my iPhone will help with an issue I am having with the battery life/charge, but I dont want to risk losing anything, not sure how the restore differs from an iPod
There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

MACBOOK I had the battery tested it is fully charged but laptop will not run unless plugged in
My macbook (early 2009) battery is not working. After I disconnect my charger from my macbook, my macbook completly shuts off. So I ordered a new battery and the same thing is happening. Accordingly, I went to batteries-plus to make sure I didn't get a defective battery. The store said there was nothing wrong with the battery so it has to be my macbook. I've reset the pram and smc and that as had no effect as well.
Can you tell me what the problem is? Or other ways to troubleshoot?One of the items which could have failed, is the 'magsafe board' where the
circuit is inside the MacBook, adapter attaches outside. This is similar to
a dc-in board, however can be tedium and difficult to repair if unskilled.
Not sure about troubleshooting this issue; a few topics on the subject have
been posted online and also in these ASC discussions; & are searchable.
At times, a google search may bring up more; while if you can find them,
the Support articles can be helpful if they go into a actual troubleshooting.
Some do not offer a level of technical help required, and a service tech
often would have the correct diagnostic tools to be able to test this issue.
The magsafe board replacement involves a take-apart process and there
are several parts that can be difficult to put back where they came from;
so if you go there, read up on how others did it. An easier said than done
if one has no experience with completing multiple step tiny tasks.
You could look into the repair guides at iFixit.com MacBook section
for some ideas; several DIY processes are shown in pictures.
Not sure about batteries plus. For their factor, you could get a fairly
nice third-party one from OWC with higher specs. Do they allow a
return if the product did not solve the issue? (seldom is expected)
Good luck & happy computing! -
My iphone 4 shows it is charging but actually is not taking a charge
My iphone4 shows a chraging symbol but is not actually taking a charge. Is my battery shot?
TROUBLESHOOTING
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears then let go.
Backup, reset, restore on icloud or iTunes or restore as new.
Place the phone into recovery mode by doing this
If this fails to fix the problem make an appointment and visit and Apple store or an authorised service provider

My son dropped his Ipod in some water, we put in a bag of rice overnight and it works fine when connected to the computer or docking statioon but it will not hold its charge once it is off the cable & not hooked up, so he cannot listen to it unhooked.. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!!
Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device. -
I had switches off my iPhone 5 at around 20 percent battery next morning I was not able to switch it on. I tried to get it charged but it didn't showed any sign of charging even when plugged in for about 2 hours. I had to take it to apple care centre but they refused to repair it after confirming the problem with the device as it was out of warranty and asked me to get it replaced for INR 22500. I got it repaired outside but after that also if I switch it off in the same situation it again happens and I have to take it for repair it has happened 3 times after that. Is it a inherent problem in iPhone that it uses battery even when switched off and if in that case battery drain out then refuse to get charged because this is the scenario i have experienced every time?
Apple told you it was unrepairable.... You had it serviced by an unauthorized party. It's now no longer eligible for out of warranty replacement by Apple.
There's really nothing else we can say about it. Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new one. -
I bought a CD and it charged me for it and said it downloaded it but it's not showing up in my library...I tried to check for available downloads and it says it is all downloaded but the songs are not in my library
You must not post here because you have a portable. The problem is related to iTunes so you should post into the iTunes for Mac section and you may also have better luck in answers as iTunes specialist are there.

It's clear that the battery has got enough capacity to work correctly, so something happens with the MagSafe port or its charger. If you have another charger, try it, and if not, take the MacBook and the charger to an Apple Store or reseller. It's better to do this as we don't know if the problem is in the charger or in the MacBook Pro
