  • BRAND New laptop, battery not charging, please help me

    Hi, I received my macbook today, and the battery is not charging. When my battery was still charged, I could use my macbook. The led on the charger was green. When it got to 0%, the laptop continued to work. So, I removed the charger (brillant idea) and it stop. Now, I can't start my laptop, and the led is yellow. The battery can't charge more than one "square" (which I can see on the battery itself). When I try to boot, I get the starting white screen, but then it shut down.
    What should I do?

    I forgot to tell...
    I tried to remove the battery, push the power button for 5 sec, and then restart, but without success.
    After 15 minutes of "charging" (while the laptop is off), the led turns from yellow to green.

  • Battery not charging when plugged in

    I have a Pavillion g6-1d11dx laptop and I have two problems (and I don’t know if they are related). First, I have been having trouble with the battery not charging while it is plugged in to the AC outlet. The battery icon in the systray currently says “40% available (plugged in, not charging)” and the percentage has been consistently going down over many weeks. Most recently, when I unplug it from the AC it no longer goes to battery reserve, it just loses power entirely (and when I plug it back in and turn on the power I get the “system was not shut down properly…” message).
    Second, and I don’t know if this is related, but for several weeks the fan has been running, seemingly non-stop, especially overnight. I don’t know if it’s relevant, but I have a scheduled nightly (1 am) definitions update and full scan that usually takes about 2 to 2-1/2 hours. But my wife says no matter when she gets up in the middle of the night, the fan is always running, and the unit has been very hot. My wife has been concerned about a fire (though it's not a model listed in the recall). I downloaded a BIOS update from the HP website hoping that would help. The fan seems to have been running less, but hasn’t stopped entirely.
     I wanted to see if I could detect any problems with the battery, so I went through all the suggested troubleshooting protocols listed on the HP website, but ran into a hitch when I tried to use the HP Support Assistant utility on the laptop. When it opens, the Support Assistant displays "An error occurred" (instead of "Support Assistant") in the window's title bar and the system variables ([Product Name], [Serial Number] and [Product Number]) listed in the Support Assistant status bar all say "Loading...", but never do load. When I go to the Maintain mode to check the battery status, it says "No pending action", and, as suggested on the HP website, I click the Refresh button (then, in the pop-up window that appears, I choose the “Check all updates, but install only important updates automatically” radio button, then click OK). But while the result page displays “Pass” on the checks for “Connect to HP servers” and “Preparing the action list”, it displays “Fail” on the checks for “Downloading updates”, “Gathering information” and “Analyzing your system”. Oddly, when I run the system check from te HP website, it DOES auto-detect my system info (Serial Number: 5CG21919LT; Product Number: B7S84UA).
     I tried to open the HP Connection Manager utility, but I get the HPConnectionManager.exe fails to load ("Cannot load assembly: CaslShared, Version=3.5.1.1, Culture=neutral,  PublicKeyToken=9c6f83d5b7f3d097. The application will now exit.").
    Can someone tell me how to properly connect to HP to allow the utilities to do their diagnoses? And/or why my battery isn’t charging and I can’t get a system diagnostic?

    I should note that this unit is pretty new: purchased in august 2012.

  • No AC Power, Battery not charging, Windows boot up issue

    Searched the forums but could not find an answer for my specific problem.  
    COmputer: L355 - S7905
    Windows XP Professional
    Issue: installed new motherboard.  When on AC power, laptop shows a steady green LED light but will not boot up without the battery installed.  Will not stay running when the battery is removed or dies.  When plugged into AC power, battery charging light is on but battery continues to lose power; will not charge.  Had the computer operating properly initially but noticed the power issue.  I ran a chkdsk on one of the subsequent boot ups and now have a "config.sys file missing" error and can not get into windows any longer.  I was going to try some of the battery charging suggestions listed on this forum but no longer can get into windows or the recovery council.  Last screen attainable says to select "R" to repair system using a Windows disk.  Can not get to a DOS prompt.  
    Status so far:
    - Ran volt meter check on power adapter and getting steady 19 volts.  Various motherboard checks with a voltmeter are seem normal.
    - All LED lights on laptop are indicating the computer is working in a proper state (ie power light on, batt charging light on, HDD light on when in use, etc)
    - replacement motherboard is the EXACT same motherboard as the original.  Same model - identical.
    - Can get passed BIOS screen successfully; can get into boot options screen (Safe Mode options, command prompt, etc) but all options eventually default to an error message I get from the chkdsk program and I can not go any further.  
    - Laptop did not come with an original Win XP restore disk.
    - Battery is a replacement but is the exact same part number as on the Toshiba original battery.  Battery seems to be operating perfectly once it is charged (had to go to computer accessory store for charge)
    Questions:
    - Why is the AC power only not able to run the laptop??  Is it a software issue??
    - Once I can get into the windows OS, I presume I should be able to correct the battery not charging issue . . . is that right??  Sounds like it is a software issue from what I have read on the forums.  My plan was to reinstall the Windows operating system but I can not do that on battery power alone.
    Any suggestions on how to proceed??
    Thank you - Paul
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Lawrence - Your suggestion was right on target, the replacement adapter solved my power problem.  I would have never believed that to be the problem since the digital voltmeter was indicating the required 19v from the defective adapter, I would obviously NOT have figured this out on my own.  Thanks for your time, response and help on this issue, I really appreciate it.

  • Satellite L55-A5284 battery not charging

    I have had this Toshiba Satellite L55-A5284 for about 11 months now.  Everything was going fine and then less than 5 days ago I unplugged the AC adapter and the laptop just went off.  Long story short went on Toshiba's troubleshooting section in Support and answered some questions and it told me that I needed a new AC Adapter.  Received the adapter today and plugged it in still have the same problem battery not charging.  I called Toshibal support and was told that my laptop has a built in battery and in order to change it without a fee being charged to me I would have to send my laptop to Toshiba and wait 7 to 10 days to get my laptop back.  I do not like this solution since alot of my personal information is on my laptop and the length of time I will be without my laptop.  Does anyone out there have any other suggestions for me to get the battery replaced free of charge?

    If the Troubleshooting Assistant finds that you laptop needs a new battery, it can send you a battery as well. It'll work just like the swap with the AC adapter. Unfortunately, you'll have to change the battery yourself (or get someone to do it for you). I don't like commenting on the difficulty because it's so subjective. You'd have to take the bottom case off to reach it. It won't void your warranty, but if you damage anything else while attempting to change it, that could.

  • G500s Battery not charging

    Hi there! I only got my Lenovo G500s three months ago, and the battery isn't working properly. I'm not sure what happened but a few days ago it just stopped chargining and now I have to keep it plugged in it at the mains to keep it on. The battery icon in the corner still says that it is chargining, it just never goes beyond 0%. What should I do?

    Hi Savenasurana,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with battery not charging in your G500s laptop.
    Try to install the energy management and check for the issue, uninstall the Microsoft ACPI driver and check for the issue. Check if the battery has been seated properly.
    Click here for the energy management for windows 7.
    Click here for the energy management for windows 8.

  • Dv6 battery not charging

    My laptop only works through AC power. The laptop works off of the battery if the battery is charged, but the laptop does not charge the battery. If the battery is plugged in and I plug in the charger the charging light does not come on and the laptop does not power on. On the other hand, when I turn on the laptop and then insert the battery the laptop shows that the battery is charging but the battery does not actually charge up. I thought this was due to a bad battery since I have had this laptop for a couple of years so I bought a new battery but I have the same exact problem. I have tried a different charger but I also have the same problem.
    Laptop specs:
    HP Pavilion dv6-7043
    Windows 7  64 bit
    Battery:
    671731-001
    6CLNE06AX2G136
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi amkazant,
    Welcome to the HP Community! I understand your frustration with the battery issue. It could be hardware related with the battery connection on the laptop not reading the battery. It could also be software related. The Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery is basically the driver that communicates between the computer and the battery. There is a chance that it is corrupted causing it not to read the battery. Follow the steps below and let me know how it goes.
    Step 1. Go to Device Manager
    Step 2. Select Batteries
    Step 3. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
    Step 4. Click Uninstall
    Step 5. At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
    Step 6. Shutdown the computer
    Step 7: Remove the battery for minute and then put it back in
    Step 8: Turn the computer back with the power cord as well.
    When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver and detect the battery.
    Step 9. Go to Device Manager
    Step 10. Select Batteries
    Step 11. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
    Step 12. Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"
    Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller if it is still not reading the battery.
    Thank you,

  • DV4 1275 Power Issue, Battery not charging, Will not Power with AC only

    HP Pavillion DV4-1275mx
    Battery will not charge, Laptop will not fully turn on with battery in (battery not charging at all).  Laptop will not power on at all with no battery using only AC and with battery it will attempt to load and die due to lack of charge.
    Have tried 3 diff HP chargers.
    The orginial 1 that came with the laptop is dead and will not charge anything. Tried it on a diff HP laptop and not recognizing any power
    The 2nd one is OE HP laptop diff model but same wattage that came with my gfs work laptop.  I have charge my laptop with it before in the past however it is not charging the battery now either
    The 3rd is a aftermarket generic one that my g/f bought in the airport and it works with hers as well however I have never used it on mine. 
    I have tried hard resetting.. taking out battery, holding power for a min and replugging everything.
    Also when I remove the battery and plug in either of the chargers that do work the power LED are "not" lighting up on the front or the LED where the AC plugs into the laptop.  Which makes you think the charger is bad however the 2 working chargers do work on my other 2 HP laptops.
    If i plugin one of the 2 working chargers with the battery it will go through the boot process and as its starting windows it just dies and shuts off.  The power led by the DC jack does light up and the charging light on the front lights up. However this only works when I unplug the battery and plug the AC charger in. After the laptop boots up to starting windows and dies. I have to remove the battery and replace it to get the LEDS to light back up..  If the MB was bad I wouldnt think any of the LED's would come on nor would the laptop boot up to the starting windows. If  keep trying to turn it on the booting time is shortened as the battery is not holding a charge and sometimes it only makes a few seconds and then just dies out.
    I dont have alot of money to spend so I was hoping maybe you could point me in the right direction.
    Should I buy the replacement part OE charger for my specific laptop? (not sure if its going to be much diff than the others since they are all 65 watt chargers)
    Should I buy a new battery as well?
    Or does this sound like a short problem in the mother board or a solder issue with the DC plugin?
    If it is an issue with the motherboard I do not want to go through the hassle of buying the battery and charger as I will end up having to just replace the laptop
    If you could please advise me what direction to go I would be so greatful.

    Dude, I have the same exact problem with mine. It's not a cheap fix either. It definitely is the motherboard.
    I'm no expert, but I believe the problem is a dead capacitor on the motherboard preventing it to build up a charge.
    I spoke with an HP rep, which told me it's $398 for them to fix.
    I let them know that I didn't have another $400 to put into this laptop. So, they suggested I try reseating the motherboard. And also reseating the memory modules.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01597750.pdf
    That is a pdf of the laptop's manual. It'll help in reseating. Page ( 59 ) for the motherboard. Page ( 67 ) for the memory modules.
    This hasn't helped at all with mine, but maybe it'll help with yours!

  • "Battery Not Charging"... Cold weather problem

    I think I have figured out that that charging device does not work when the computer is cold.
    This is the 2nd time it has happened. I reset PRAM and PMU with no change. Then later it spontaneously fixed itself when the sun started hitting the van. Thinking possibly when the computer is cold it happens, since it was 17º this morning and the computer was asleep all night. I had run the battery that evening depleting it totally. However, the night before it was -11º and the problem did not happen, possibly because I had left it running all night with no disk spindown.
    Also, looking backwards at Oct 29 of the first occurrence, yes we did have a cold spell and a snowstorm, I remember now it hit about 17º.
    So it seems like this is a problem when the charging device is cold (actually my cellphone does the same thing). The solution would be to keep the disk spinning full time while it is below about 25º. Or maybe even put some insulation over the computer.
    I had a 1.6 PowerBook earlier that never showed this problem. It charged normally down to -5º. So perhaps this is an Intel oddity.
    I realize I am running the MacBook at 63º below tech specs, so please refrain...

    I think I have the same problem. Macbook Pro indicates shortly it doesn't charge, then turns to charging. But the last time it stuck to 'battery not charging'. Then I played for about fifteen minutes, warming up the video card (and it does get warm) and now it charges again.
    It remains a strange problem and I will see the MacStore about it.

  • Ok, so basically my charger fell apart on my MacBook pro(2010) and I didn't have the money for a new charger, I got it in the states too if that's relevant. Basically my laptop will not charge, I bought a new charger yesterday and it's still no-use

    Ok, so basically my charger fell apart on my MacBook pro(2010) and I didn't have the money for a new charger, I got it in the states too if that's relevant. Basically my laptop will not charge, I bought a new charger yesterday and it's still no-use,not charging . No green or orange light coming on on the new charger either.

    It is one of the items that Apple gets criticized at regular intervals. The MagSafe connector is proprietary and unlicensable, so the company has a lock-in on the power options. And as you have now found out, your hijinks trying to avoid buying an expensive new charger may have caused more damage and led to a total no-charge condition.
    If lucky and no physical damage has occurred (there IS a fuse in there somewhere on the circuit boards), maybe resetting the SMC can restore charge functionality, provided there is still enough juice: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • HT1338 battery not charging.  Suggestions?

    Battery not charging.  Computer turns off completely when disconnected from power cord.  When plugged back in, the screen comes up gray at first and then as to regular screen.

  • Endless Switching between Adapter and Battery/Not Charging

    My battery is from fall of 2007 (I received it during the recall.)
    The little battery icon on the top of the screen is endlessly flickering between the charging symbol and an almost dead battery symbol. If I open energy saver, it tells me that the computer is switching back and forth between the two power sources: my Power Adapter, and my battery, with my battery perpetually stuck at 1%. This seems to me to be more than just the battery not charging, but since my computer is indeed running off of the adapter, I wanted to see if perhaps this was just its way of telling me the battery is no longer charging. Also, any advice on getting the battery to hold something, at least for a little longer (my new job gives me a computer in August, so I'm just trying to stretch this one as much as possible.)
    Thanks in advance!

    BUMP -
    I'm having a similar problem. Will keep scanning the older posts on this board, but:
    I just replaced a lost MacAlly G4 Adapter with a new one (MacAlly). It charges the Powerbook when I leave the computer shut-down (so I'm not screwed ...), but when powered-up with the adapter plugged into the G4, the battery symbol alternates between the charging symbol & the battery status symbol - and slowly drains. The screen also dims & brightens.

  • WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD??

    WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD ???

    How are you trying to charge it, via a computer or the wall plug ? If a computer, then a lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.
    If the wall charger then have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If that doesn't work then have you tried a different charger and/or cable ? Do you know anybody else with an iPad so that you can try their charger and cable and they can try yours ?
    And for info typing in capitals is considered SHOUTING.

Maybe you are looking for
