G560 64-bit Windows 7 : Plugged in ,Not Charging

Hi,
I'm facing a problem with my Lenovo G560 (64-bit Windows 7 and i3 ). I'm not able to power on my laptop without connecting to the power outlet. Once the Windows started the battery icon shows 100%(Plugged in , not charging). If I remove it from the power it is getting shutdown immediately. Will it be a battery problem ? Any OS update might not have compatible with the hardware or drivers ?
Can any one please suggest a solution for this problem?
Thanks in Advance !
Regards,
Aswathy

Hi
Welcome to community
Since you are not getting any backup from the battery and you are able to use the system when Ac adaptor is connected
Please remove your battery from the system , then reconnect it back again . Now connect AC adaptor
Also try updating the Bios

You may receive an error while updating battery is not detected
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!

I can't charge my DM1-4110et (plugged in, not charging)

Hi,
I just bought a dm1-4110et 1 weeks ago. My battery not working properly since first day.
Details about my problem;
My battery can't charge when notebook working. If I plugged in, Windows says "plugged in, not charging". I've tried ACPI trick and don't work. Led lighting white.
When I turn off pc, disconnect ac adapter & batery and reconnect them, notebook start charging and led ligting orange. But; if I turn notebook on, led turns white.
I've tried bios update, acpi trick, calibrating.. don't work. Probably I need to go service.
Any ideas?

Sorry, here is what i did
1. Turnn laptop off, remoove battery, reinsert battery, plug the Charger, Charging starts (Orange light)
But as soon as I start laptop, charging stops.
2. To keep the charging while using laptop, download and install HP Power Manager, during installation you will see laptop is charging again. Solved
3. When you restart your laptop, same not charging occurs. To solve this just go into where HP Power Manager is installed, default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HP Power Manager, select SCHEME.BAT, you will CHARGING. Place scheme.bat shortcut to desktop, and next time just use the short cut

Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN

Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN tab when creating a new Data source.
What I did so far:
I downloaded the basic and odbc zips for Window 64-bit.
Unzipped the basic zip.
Unzipped the odbc zip to the same directory.
Added the dir path to the System Environment Variable called Path.
Double-clicked on the odbc_install.exe to run it from Windows Explorer.
Then I tried to add the driver to create a new data source but it does not appear in the list of drivers.
From a cmd window, I navigated to the instant client directory and tried to run odbc_install again.
I got the message: Oracle ODBC Driver with same name already exists.
What am I missing?

hello, I did it like that you say,but the result also is "oracle odbc driver with same name already exists". I don't kown what can I do it ,Thank you!

Plugged in, not charging. Windows 10

Hi! i recently upgraded to windows 10, now my laptop won't charge even though its plugged in. The following message is shown (Plugged in, not charging) Kindly help me with this problem.

I don't think my laptop doesn't support windows 10 because of the following: 1) The windows 10app diagnosed it to be compatible with windows 10 2) This error which i recieve isn't consistant, it will stay for a couple of days, then disappear for the next 7 days, only to show up again late. If my pc didn't support windows 10 then i think it wouldn't support windows 10 everyday instead of just randomly working,

When I plug my iPad mini to windows USB I see "not charging" on my ipad

When I plug my iPad mini to windows USB I see "not charging" on my ipad

When you plug your iPad into a Windows PC, it doesn't charge for some reason. The battery does not get drained or used up because i once left it running (not locked) overnight and it still had 57% in the morning. When i got my new MacBook, it stopped saying "not charging" and it began to charge and use up the computer's battery.
This is because most of the laptops (even on older macs) dont provide enough power for the iPad to charge with the screen on. Sometimes it can charge when the iPad is locked, but it is very slow. My new mac has USB 3.0, so maybe that works, but my Windows has 2.0, so i guess 2 and below can charge and iPad.

G510 Plugged in, not charging

Hi,
I bought my G510 laptiop a few months ago.
It wasn't in use for the past month or so and the battery was completely drained when I turned it on.
However, when in Windows 7 (64-bit) the battery icon says: "Plugged in, not charging" and the battery is stuck at 0%.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Energy Management with no success. Also, in Energy Management under battery info it says "Battery Status: Bad".
Any suggestions?

Thinkpad X1 Carbon (3Gen) Battery Not Charging (plugged in not charging)

I have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon (Gen3) Model 20BS touchscreen running Windows 7 64 bit. The battery is not charging -- it's in a perpetual state of "plugged in not charging" and even when plugged in, it’s losing appr 1 percent per day (down to 31%). This has happened a few times over the past 3-4 months since I got the machine, but I've managed to find things that "fixed" it (at least temporarily): - Resetting the power gauge worked once - Changing the custom battery charge threshold worked a few times - Plugging in the power cord at different stages of reboot seemed to fix it once (although not sure why / how) Based on previous thread posts, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Power Manager and then tried to run Battery Gauge Reset, but to no avail. And the reset only appears to run for about 30 sec before the system tray icon switches back to normal. Thanks in advance. Karl

Lenovo G700 Plugged In Not Charging

My Lenovo G700, which is a week old, is saying that it is "plugged in, not charging". It was working fine until last night when I closed the lid to put it into sleep mode for the first time. I have checked that it is set to maximum battery life and it is still not working. It's stuck on 98%. I am severely disappointed that something like this has happened a week into having my first Lenovo. I hope someone can help me rectify this problem.

hi Zadeth,
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try to:
1. Turn off the machine and remove the AC adapter and battery
2. Hold the power button for 10secs then plug the AC adapter back in.
3. Turn the computer ON and when it gets to Windows, slide the battery back in place and observe the charge.
Alternatively, try to use the battery charge until it asks you to plug the AC adapter and observe if the charge goes all the way to 100%.
Let me know your findings
Regards

HP G62-b13SA Notebook - "Plugged in, not charging"

Hi,
I have an issue with charging my HP HP G62-b13SA Notebook PC (on Windows 7 Home Premium). I've noticed that when I plug in the adapter, the icon says 'plugged in, not charging'.
However, I notice that sometimes it will charge for between a few seconds to about a minute (when I first connect the charger) with the orange light showing before I get the 'not charging' message and the light turns blue.
I have had the laptop for nearly 3 years and recently had to purchase a replacement battery as the original had gone completely flat.
I've tried running the battery down and charging it, but no luck and the HP support assistant said the battery is ok
Thanks,
Jonathon

Hi @Lewistrick
Thank you for your query.
I grasp that until a few days ago your battery was working well but now it will not charge. You followed some suggestion in the forum but they did not help.
You ran the battery test and were informed you need to replace this one. You are concerned that the test may be faulty and that you do not need to replace it.
Here are two documents to help you understand battery life and provides an alternative method to test the battery to ensure the first test was correct.

I'm getting a Plugged in, not charging message after replacing the CPU fan

I just replaced the CPU fan on this notebook last night and finished it today. Its running perfectly at the moment.
The problem is the windows Task bar on my desktop says "Plugged in, not charging" when I mouse over the battery indicator there. I've tried many things to fix it, from uninstalling or disabling the drivers for the devices involved (the ACPI battery and AC adapter) under Windows' device manager, to swapping out with my spare battery.
I've also switched power plans on the off chance that could have been causing some kind of battery charging setting. This did not fix it. The AC adapter works. I've been running this notebook for about two hours now searching for a solution, it just won't charge the battery. I've not tried observed it enough but I believe it will charge while powered off, but not while on. The orange LED indicator by the AC adapter port glows when the machine is off, indicating that it is charging.
I have a feeling the whole "uninstall device drivers for the battery devices" idea is a thing of the past. Everything I found which suggested doing that also mentioned Windows Vista, which at this point in time is a relic (July 2015). When I was replacing the CPU fan, it did get frustrating at times but everything is intact apart from some case clips and a few other plastic case parts. I have reason to believe everything is connected too because its still powered on, meaning its getting power, but it isn't going in to the battery.
Symptom summary:
Batteries: OKAC Adapter: OK
MOBO: PROBABLY OK
ME: NOT OK xD

Hey srkv121,
welcome to the forums
On
1. Optimized battery run time, the energy managment completely charges the battery to ensure maximum battery performance
2. On best battery health, energy management charges only 50% of the battery, it ensures maximum battery life but not performance
hope this helps

Just recently receiving/noticing a "plugged in, not charging" alert for my DV7 Pavillion!! FIX???

HP Pavillion DV7-1428CA; Vista Home Premium; Current Power Plan icon in system tray now shows alert: "plugged in, not charging"!!
What can I do to resolve this issue?? BTW, no significant changes to my system other than AV updates etc,
Thanks.

Since Battery check indicates a good battery, your hardware is working fine.
It sounds like it may be Windows that is confused.
I found the following thread. Give it a try.

T400: plugged in, not charging

I got a T400 a month ago and now it is having a battery problem. It says "plugged in, not charging" when I mouse over the battery system tray icon.
I've checked the battery maintenance tab in power options, and it is set to "always fully charge." I've also tried the other settings to no avail. The battery is at 32% so it should definitely be charging. I've tried restarting, installing the latest power manager driver. Still not charging.
Another side-issue that is really annoying: My lenovo power manager won't open when I right click the windows battery icon and click "Power manager." It seems to work when I click the link from the Thinkvantage menu (from the Thinkvantage keyboard button). But from the system tray icon, it just opens the splash screen and then disappears. The PWMUI.exe is running in task manager, but the power manager doesn't seem to be open otherwise. Any suggestions?

U330: "plugged in, not charging"

Hello all,
I posted this "poor battery life on U330" tread but I'll probably get more advice by starting a new one.
My U330 is not charging anymore. What I see is the message "plugged in, not charging". After searching in the Google I noticed this is not a Lenovo's only issue. Perhaps is a problem of Windows Vista, I don't know. The first time it occurred, as suggested by someone on the internet, I removed the battery, and after a few minutes put back again. It did work on the first time, but not anymore.
Does someone know the origin and how to solve this issue?
Thank you very much,
Lucio.

Guess till today you solved it already, but if not here is my "solution" for this.
Discharge fully till 0. If your system will shut down try starting computer and go to BIOS and discharge further in BIOS till computer will shut down due to lack of power. Then plug charger on switched off computer and leave it like this for 10-15hours.
Had something similiar and only "solution" was to discharge further as only then comuter was starting to charge. If I'm not mistaken this happend only when I discharge till quite low level.
