HP dv5 laptop charger is overheating (150 deg F)

My dv5 laptop charger gets to 150 deg F while charging the battery.
(1) If the battery is at all discharged, then the charger will get to 150 deg F
(2) If the battery is fully charged, then the charger will not get hot.
It appears to me that the small charger (65W) is not able to provide enough power to charge the battery. I believe a higher powered (95W) charger would result in no issues. Interestingly, HP has a 95W charger available.
Has anyone tried using a different charger?
HP -- Why was the decision made to use a low power (65W) charger on this laptop?

Hi, thank you for your reply. However, I had already found the page you have linked me to, and used that to diagnose that the code the laptop is flashing is code 1. (The caps/num lock is flashing once, long pause, once, long pause, so code 1 as I understand the document)
This is why I bought a new processor and replaced the old one yesterday, but unfortunately it has not solved my laptops problem. It is still refusing to start and giving me a blank screen with leds flashing the same error code (single flash, long pause, repeat) which is why I posted on here for help.
I really have no idea what else to try, my bf was also wondering if perhaps a fault with the motherboard could also cause this error code to flash up, perhaps tricking the hp diagnostics tool into thinking the cpu is broken when in fact its the mobo?

HP dv5 laptop battery

Alright... I have an HP dv5 laptop. I've had it for just under two years, and in the last month I have had my AC adapter crap out, and I replaced it with a generic cord, that worked fine for about two weeks. Now, though, my laptop won't charge. The AC adapter is plugged in, but the generic doesn't have a light on it. My laptop isn't showing it's normal light around the power port, and the front light doesn't show it's charging either.
I don't know if it's the AC adapter, the battery, or something more serious. I've looked around, and many of you seem to have the same problem, usually the adapter, the battery, etc. but I'm wondering if it's an internal problem. Can anyone help me? I'm desperate for a solution, and use my computer for school.

This is what we normally get if its a generic type of ac adapter. Although purchasing another (hp branded)ac adapter is not wise, its the only way to test if its the ac adapter itself or the pin connector inside. How many watts is the oem adapter?

Does a usb cab to 60 Watt L-Tip Power Adapter charger for Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Charger exist

does a usb cable
does a Usb cable to60 Watt L-Tip Power Adapter charger for Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Charger exist? i have an external battery pack i would like to use to charge my iphone and macbook pro.

Not that I am aware of. An Internet search on your part will be required. If you should find something to that effect, note it will not be endorsed by Apple and the magnetic connector will probably be in violation of Apple patents.
Ciao.

Laptop charger appears to be working but no light

I have a HP laptop dv6-1215ee and i am having some charger trouble. My charger plugged in appears to be charging the battery and working fine, but the light right where i plug in the charger is not on. I cross checked it with my friends HP laptop charger and my laptop was working fine as well with light on and everything. It is just with my charger that the light does not come on.
I plugged my charger in his laptop and the light didnt come on.
I started my laptop without battery with my charger plugged in and it blinked twice before going off. the laptop did start working on it though. (with my friend's charger, the light stayed on without battery)
voltage problems ? should i be using the laptop on that charger ? I am out of warranty.

there are loads of people with the same problem you'd think apple would investigate what the problem is an let us all know there really **** with customer service / satisfaction. Have you tried putting it in the fridge for about ten minutes been reading alot about that on threads wouldnt do it meself now

Laptop Charger 19.5v 90watt on 18.5v 65watt

I have purchased an IGO Laptop Charger 90 Watt 19.5V 100-240VAC 50-60Hz
My Question is, will it be okay to use this charger to charge a HP Paviliong6-2368ca 65 watt 18.5V? and if I use it will it damage my laptop aswell?

Hi,
No, I actually use 3 chargers for all my laptops (few of them use SAME chargers): 120W, 90W and 65W. I only use 65W when travelling because íts lighter.

Laptop charging battery ,but still not full charge

i have hp pavillion dv3 2004tu , my laptop charge for 3 hour but my battery only get 27% . Does it cause by software or my AC adapter or my battery ? if cause from battery why? .... who could help me

Hello erasmusfry,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that no charging is taking place. Before anything else, please try the steps I provided in this thread, as they will likely resolve the issue: 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.
If the battery appears to be fine, you can try to improve your battery performance. For more information on improving battery performance, please review the following document: Improving Battery Performance (Windows 8, 7, Vista).
If none of this helps, you can try purchasing a motherboard if the computer isn't in warranty. If it is, you should be able to get a replacement over HP phone support. 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!

MSI GT660 Laptop charge problem

My computer is awesome, its about a year old now. Lately its been having trouble charging, or "running on power". I have to tilt the power cable, or put my phone on the cable to tilt it so it charges, and if i play a game on it, sometimes it will "untilt" juts enough to stop the charging and my computers performance goes down the drain. Its really bothersome because i cant really use my computer for its intended purpose "gaming" now that its charging is so unstable.
Any ideas of how i can solve this problem? Just buy a new power cord? When i google the problem a lot of the suggestions are that the power socket is malfunctioning.. and not the power cord...

Oh boy, i had the same problem until eventually inside the laptop the pin broke of. Not the pin itself but behind it. I had to open it up and connect a small wire from the front to the back. ( i assume it's kind of vague).
What ever you do, don't put pressure on it because eventually it will break.

Toshiba laptop charger

Hey so I have a question. I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-S4587 laptop. My charger adapter recently broke so i need a new one. My current charger part number is PA3467U-1ACA. But when i looked it up, my only compatible charger part number is PA3290U-3ACA. I am confused now since the current charger is cheaper than my compatible one. What would happen if i buy the same model as my old one? I am confused to which one i should buy. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steven

Even better, if you have a PSP(Service Plan) on your laptop that is still current, and you are past the first year of it, take your laptop into GS and they can order you a new one free of charge.
Else, we do carry a few universal ones starting actually at about $90.

Need new laptop charger for my Qosmio G50

I've got a Toshiba Qosmio G50 laptop that I bought quite a few years ago and the charger for it finally konked out on me from heavy use and bending of the cord.
I've been trying to search for a charger for it with the same specifications as the one I currently have. I think the product number for it is PA3658E-1AC3B and it's specs are like 120W, 6.3A, 19V, 5.5mm/2.5mm.
I have been unable to find a charger with these specs and when I search for other chargers with similar specs and so on, when lists of compatible laptops come up, my laptop is never in the list. Now I'm wondering if this is due to because the laptop is actually incompatible or due to the fact that it is rather quite old.
Also, does anyone know what laptop chargers I could be able to use or specs for them. Like would a charger with these specs work for my laptop?
Output: 19V 4.74A 90W
DC Barrel Tip: 5.5 x 2.5mm
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I dont know where do you live but go to eBay and there you will find proper charger. As far as I know you can use any charger that is offered for Qosmio G50.
If you want to have original part for your model contact nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and order one.

URGENT QUESTION concerning Pavilion DV6 laptop charger

Hey I have a question: I have two HP laptops; one is the Pavilion dv6 and has a charger with the series number PPP009L-E, with input 1.6A and 65W;
The other laptop is the Pavilion dv6-3236NR, with the charger having the series number PPP009D, with input 1.7A and 65W.
My question is, can I use the second charger for the first charger's laptop? My first Pavilion dv6 won't charge at all! Could someone PLEASE help me ASAP and tell me if it's the charger's problem, battery problem, or both, and whether I could use the second charger on the laptop!

Hi Sekhar,
Well the error code would certainly indicate that the drive has started to fail, but just in case, you could try wiping the entire Hard Drive first and then reinstalling the Operating System as described below.
Download and install Killdisk on the link below - ( this application will write zeros to the entire drive ).
http://software.lsoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe
Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.
http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html
Go to the Kill Disk application you have installed in All Programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators and from that select Bootable DOS CD Creator which will burn the bootable ISO to a blank CD.
During the next process do not worry about any warnings as your Windows 7 installation disc will reformat the HDD.
Insert this CD in to your PC that is unable to load Operating System properly. Shut the notebook down, then start it again to boot from the Killdisk CD and follow the on screen instructions for Kill Disk.
A brief description of the process is here Killdisk.
Use this to wipe the whole of the Hard Drive, highlight (80h) and press f10 ( you will also have to type a confirmation and hit enter ) - ( this will make sure you include all partitions and then start the process - this may take a couple of hours! ).
When the process is complete, remove the Killdisk CD and try installing Windows 7 again.
If it still fails, I think your only option is to replace the HDD.
Regards,
DP-K

Is the Laptop charger covered in the warranty?

Alrihgt, so I had bought my laptop on the 27th of last month, and now the charger is buzzing and it shocks me whenever I plug in the laptop and have it on my lap. I didn't get it wet or anything to lead up to this, and I can't afford to buy a new charger. Is it covered in the warranty?

Hi,
Yes absolutely..Just call HP Technical Support and they'll ship you a new one.
The factory warranty in HP Notebooks covers all hardware (battery warranty is only 1 year) except accidental damages. For accidental damages you can purchase a seperate warranty known as Accidental Damage Plan.
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

Ssd install on dv5 laptop

Is it possible to install an ssd drive on a dv5 pavilion laptop? Looks like the hard drive broke and I would like to replace with ssd instead of he'd Thank you

Already considered. Neither the SATA type nor the power is a concern. Just remove the existing mechanical drive and install the SSD. The worst thing you can do is overthink. The one model SSD I would stay away from is Crucial MX100...I prefer the Samsung 850 Evo but you can't go wrong with any major brand. The BIOS is set to fully support ahci and the SSD will actually use less power. Your laptop is SATA-II but a SATA-III SSD will downclock and run fine. Your laptop can support a second hard drive so if you only have one now you can put your existing mechanical drive in the second bay. Newmodeus.com sells the seconf hard drive connector/caddy kits. Just be sure and get the right one for the dv7-2000 series; they vary a bit. The second hard drive kit makes cloning really easy too...can all be done inside the laptop.
