Battery Stops Charging But Power is Connected w/ Green Light

All of a sudden the other day I moved from A - B and removed the power supply to do so.  When I plugged the MBP in again it needed to be restarted and date was set to Jan 1 2008.
I read that you could remove the battery and do a system reset in the older model MBP's but how wbout the unibody?  This is only 4 months old and still under warranty but I am currently in Kenya so obviously not in a position to take it in!!!

  • Battery stopped charging when Satellite C connected to the mains

    My battery has stopped charging when I plug my laptop into the mains. It continues to lose battery life until there is zero charge and then shuts down. Only then will it let me re-charge the battery.
    The only other option i seem to have is to switch my computer off, shut down all documents and leave it for 15 minutes before plugging into the mains.
    This is obviously very disruptive! Can anyone help?
    Many thanks

    Hi
    Im not quite sure whats wrong with your notebook
    Are you able to use the notebook without plugged in battery but connected to the mains?
    If the AC adaptor is ok, you should be able to use the notebook connected to the mains only
    Lets assume the AC adaptor is ok in such case either the battery or the power supply electronic which is part of the motherboard may malfunction
    Its difficult to say if your battery is faulty this needs to be tested but I think its not worth to purchase a new battery just for testing purposes therefore I would ask an technician to check this before buying a new part.
    PS: is your BIOS up to date?

  • Satellite L300 - Battery not charging but power is reaching to motherboard

    Hi
    I have dropped the laptop and after that battery is not getting charged. Laptop is working fine with battery only. I have opened the laptop to find if there is any thing got dislodged. But everything was fine. I have checked the power is reaching till motherboard. But its not charging the battery.
    For information I have opened only keyboard and bottom panel to reach the power supply cord. I can see the motherboard top section where I have checked the power supply is reaching.
    Can any body help?
    Thanks.

    >Can any body help?
    I think the hardware needs to be scanned for possible issues.
    I can only speculate about faulty parts
    It could be the power plug problem or something is broken on the motherboard but its mostly impossible to say whats wrong here
    So get in contact with an local Toshiba authorized service guys to check this.

  • Satellite A30: while AC adapter is connected the battery stops charging

    Using a Satellite A30 about three years old. Recent problem is that while the power adapter is connected the battery stops charging, the orange battery indicator goes off.
    If you look at the Power Management Utility the battery poweer meter reads On Line, Discharging %
    To get it to charge I either have to turn the machine off (completely or to hibernate) then remove the power cable and reinsert, then the battery light comes back on. When restarting the battery will start to charge up for a while and then for no apparent reason start to discharge.
    If left the battery reaches 0% - the machine continues to operate while the power cable is inserted so its getting power ok, but of course starts to bleep when it gets below 10%. To get it going again I have to shut down and restart etc.
    I have checked the bios and have the latest version.
    I have cleaned around the heat exchanger the power socket and removed all fluff.
    I am using a generic adapter as the original failed, but as far as I can tell its working normally.
    Any thoughts
    Richard

    Hi Richard,
    Your problem is being caused by a loose connection where the AC adapter is connected to the socket on the back of your notebook. Any slight movement of the cable causes a momentary loss of contact and the power management electronics in the notebook are fooled into beleiving that the battery is no longer available, whereupon the battery light will extinguish and the notebook will revert to battery power even though the AC adapter is connected. As you have already discovered, powering off the notebook will return everything to normal.
    I have experienced the very same situation with my A30-141 and have yet to find a solution other than to resort to powering off the notebook, but I have managed to prevent the problem from occurring by clamping the AC cable to the back of the notebook so that there is no risk of the power plug flexing so as to trigger the problem in the first place. This has been remarkably successful to date and I have not experienced the problem for several months now.
    Obviously this is not a 'cure' for the problem but it does ease the frustration that it causes.
    regards,

    Try a #1 SMC Reset and see the Apple links, if that doesn't work make a appointment for a evaluation.

  • Tecra A3 battery stops charging after one or two seconds

    Hello
    I've been using the computer without the battery for a long time. Now, when I try to use the battery it is completely discharged (it says 0% º capacity).
    It starts charging when plugged but after one or two seconds it stops so it keeps 0% capacity.
    Any ideas of what can the problem be?
    Thank you

    Hi
    Are you 100% sure that the battery stops charging?
    How did you check it? What is the status of battery LED?
    If you plug the battery the notebook must be off.
    Furthermore the charging procedure takes several hours if the battery is empty.
    I think you have to connect the AC to the notebook and wait several time.
    But if the battery will not charge so either the battery is dead or the notebook electronic malfunctions.

  • G505s Battery stops charging at 60%

    The battery in my new G505s stops charging at 60%. Clean windows 8 then windows 8.1 install. The lenovo site has no power managament drivers for windows 8.1. Is this because windows 8.1 installed the lenovo app on its own? Because it is on the computer and i certainly didnt put it there. This happened after i upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1. It was 100% before the upgrade and 70% after. The lenovo energy management program has two settings. Maximum battery life and optimized battery health. No matter which is selected, charging stops at 60% and says plugged in not charging. I tried doing the battery gauge rested and it doesn't work. I press start and it does nothing. I drained the battery to 0 then charged it up but that didn't do anything. The dust removal button also doesn't work. On  side note, what graphics drivers is everyone using? i have the ones from lenovo installed. It looks like they were updated a few months ago. Would the generic AMD ones work better? 

    Hey Guys, For all those who has issue with their laptops "Battery stops charging at 60%" Here's the solution: (These are the settings of my Lenovo ideapad Yoga 13, yours will be similar or slightly different) - Go to control panel- System and security (Category View)- Power options (Small icons)- There will be one option selected for your power plan.. click on "change setttings plan" of that plan- Now click on "change advanced power setting"- You now will see two tabs on the pop up window that comes up.. "Advanced Settings" and "Lenovo Energy Management".. - so go to tab which reads.. "Lenovo Energy Management"..- now click on "Enable Lenovo Energy Management"..- You will get another pop up window for "Energy Management"..- Under the Battery option which is in the center you will see 3 options..- Click on the centre one.. which has a "wrench" symbol meaning for settings..- And now click on "Start"..- Voila!!! Problem Solved..- Now battery will be able to reach 100% complete charge..!- Have a Gr8 day peeps!  Best RegardsFirdaus [email protected]

  • 4 days old MBP 13". First boot up showed charge of 100%, next boot up showed battery fully charged but the percentage read 98% in the subsequent boot ups the battery is fully charged but percentage reads 96%. Whats wrong??

    I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. On my first boot up, the battery charged to 100%. I didn't operate this thing on the battery. The next time I booted this thing up, the battery was charged but the meter read 98%. In the subequent boot ups of this machine, and I still having not used the battery, my battery is fully charged but the meter now reads 96%. IS there some problem with the hardware or the software? Help is appreciated!!
    Thanks.

    hey thank you for the info. Based on what happened, the battery has gone up to 100% just once when I booted this machine for the first time. On subsequent occasions the Battery Charged symbol has appreard at below 100% charging. I have been using my MacBook Pro for the whole day with outlet power and never did the battery go back to 100%. I hope I don't have to calibrate the battery on this model?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use. Also. iOS 7 made the iPod more sensitive to defective cables.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Does battery stop charging automatically

    Hello,
    I like to keep my laptop plugged in while using it.  Does the battery stop charging when it is full?  What is the best way to use the laptop.  Leave it plugged in when you can, or always run on battery?
    Regards,
    Randy.

    ALL Li-ion batteries stop charging when they are full.  They have an internal micro-controller to enforce this. 
    I run my MBP down to about 20% charge left and then recharge on a daily basis.  The run time depends on what you are doing.  Heavy usage will reduce the run time.  Flash web sites, playing movies, maximum screen intensity, bluetooth on are all examples of things that will reduce run time. 
    Think of a battery like a bucket of water.  If you let the water trickle out it will take a long time to empty the bucket. If you turn the bucket upside down it will be empty in a few seconds.
    In other words a battery holds a fixed amount of energy.  The rate at which you discharge it will determine the run time.  As the battery ages the amount of energy that it can hold will go down.  The battery will age whether or not you use it.  Regular usage will give the longest overall life for the battery.
