HP G6 Battery Dead/not charging

HP Pavilion G6 A5H09EA#ABU
Windows 8 Pro 64bit
Error: Bios Battery Replacement Warning
Bought my laptop in January 2012 and now my battery is dead. I know batteries deplete with time but not like what happened to mine. It lasted me 3.5hrs when new but dropped straight to 20-15mins  and after two weeks time it was dead. I started getting startup Bios warnings about the battery needing replacing. I think I got a faulty battery because this is ridiculous.
What do I do?
This question was solved.

With adapters there can be odd situations where it would power the notebook but not charge the battery. You may be right, there may not be anything wrong with the adapter, but if you were to call HP Total Care to seek replacement they would have you follow a few steps to narrow things down and make sure its the battery. These steps can be found HERE.
I don't want it to sound like I'm saying it is not the battery, it certainly could be a defective battery and we would be happy to honor the warranty on your unit. If you would like to contact HP Total Care to seek a part replacement for an in-warranty computer you can reach technical support in English at 1-800-474-6836.
The best of luck to you, guggli. I sincerely hope everything works out.

  • Genuine Lenovo Replacement Battery Does Not Charge

    After reading the number of people on this forum who experienced the same problem I faced (my T61p 9 cell battery went from fine to dead overnight), I took the advice of the contributors and purchased a new, genuine Lenovo replacement battery from a seller on e-bay.  I compared the new battery to my original battery and here's the test results for each of the 2 batteries;

    After charging the replacement battery overnight, the battery gauge never went above showing 24% charged.  I unplugged the AC adapter and it went from 24% to its current level of 5% in about 15 minutes.  After plugging the AC adapter back into the computer, the battery will not charge.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    It is hard to be sure without seeing it, but best guess is that the battery charging circuitry on the motherboard has died. If you still have remaing warranty, now is the time to use it.

  • Macbook Pro battery is not charging but the battery meter is full

    Hi guys!
    I have a 19 months macbook pro. I've tried using 2 different AC adapter but my mac's battery is still at 0% and the status says "Battery is not charging". I think my battery is dead but the LED battery indicator on my battery shows 5 lights, means its at full power.
    I've tried to disconnect the AC cable and remove the battery, then press the power button for 10 sec but nothing change when i start my mac again...i also tried to reset my PRAM ( i think ) by holding a cmdopt+PR while rebooting but it didn't help to solve the problem too. I also have the battery update 1.2 installed on my mac and the results is still the same.
    This is my battery info from system profiler. I hope someone can tell me what to do before I visit the Apple store.

    Hello,
    I am having some strange battery behavior. I bought a FastMac TruePower Battery that is supposed to have extended capacity. Now when the battery dies, i plug in my MagSafe to charge it and it immediately says 'not charging', but then begins to charge. It either continues to charge and gets stuck at 80% or so and reads "calculating" in the menu bar, or just jumps between 'charging' and 'not charging'. The symptoms are very strange, and FastMac already sent this battery back saying it passes all of their tests. I do not want to send it back again because they charged me to send it back to myself even though it still does not work as advertised. I have my original Macbook Pro Apple battery which still charges fine, so i assume it is a problem with the battery based on a simple process of elimination.

  • Battery does not charge,why ?

    the battery does not charge any longer...why ?

    Your battery may be completely dead — but even a dead battery will usually accept a tiny charge, even if it only powers the computer for a minute or two afterward.
    Your AC adapter may have failed. If you have access to another adapter, test with that and see whether it charges the battery. If it does, try all the steps in this article to see whether your own adapter will revive:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
    The charging system inside your MBP may have failed. If you have no luck with the above, take your machine to an Apple Store Genius Bar for testing:

  • MacBook Pro battery does not charge

    My macbook pro is dead after the battery went flat. Now the battery will not charge, the LED on the power cord remains green, and I am unable to turn on the computer. Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?

    When the battery is really dead there are three possibilities:
    - Reset the SMC and hope the problem went
    - Bring it to an Apple Service Provider, if it's covered under warranty
    - Buy a new battery
    All if it is the battery, and not something else with the power adapter or the MacBook Pro itself.

  • Battery is not charging after once full discharge

    hi,
    I have Z60m 2530-A58 which is not charging it says: battery error has occured replace the battery , after once it was fully discharge to 0% but my notebook was only 1.5 year old what problem has occured can anyone suggest me pls......................
    pls help i am using ubuntu 8.10 and windows xp both

    Ok, I assume motherboard is aged or damaged somehow. Maybe it has been on plug for four or five years. It is late 2006's model.
    First of all, I was be able to see it charging while it was connected to the MagSafe Power Adapter 85w then I close the lid and put it aside on the end table. I did not touch it for a few days. The white led was on in first few days then it become dim and fade out. I was puzzled and looked at the MagSafe Power Adapter connector on the MacBook Pro. It shows green led, which is still on power.
    Secondly, I decided to open it and nothing happens then pressed the power button. It will boot up and open from the beginning. It did not hibernate or showing as resume after shutdown. I looked at the bottom of MacBook Pro's battery area. I press the small button to see how much battery left. It was on dead zero. This is why I called it drained out power.
    Thirdly, I decided to check the Apple website to see what's wrong with it. Most of the forums said that SMC needs to be reseted since I could see the X mark on the battery icon. After I reseted the SMC, I could see the "Battery is not charging".
    If I unplugged the connector, it will lose the power and shut down immediately without being shutdown properly.
    Hmm? 

  • Battery will not charge. and other issues

    Well i'm working on a friend of mines notebook, its a n100 model 0768 12u running windows xp. This is the situation so far. First his hard drive had fried so i replaced that and put the o.s. back on it,but now the battery will not charge. also the wireless network card and dvd drive did not work. I had originally thought that they might have fried as well when the hard drive went down. However I looked through the forums here and found that alot of people solved the battery issue simply by replacing the battery i recommended that. He purchased a replacement battery ( not a genuine lenovo battery, don't know if that makes a difference) and when i put it in the dvd drive and the network card started working no problem. But alas the battery still would not charge. the system runs fine without a battery in it, but if i put the battery in it while its running it turns itself off after about 30 seconds of having the battery in. when the system is powered off and i put the battery in the battery lcd in front blinks 5 times orange then nothing for about 30 seconds then 5 more times. maybe thats a trouble code, don't know, looked all oover the forums and couldn't find anything quite like it. any help would be greatly appreciated.
     thanks
    Steve

    Duck3,
    Glad that worked for you!  Thanks for sharing here. 
    I saw a weird situation on friend's ThinkPad recently - a replacement battery arrived with a 37% charge (not 100% deliberately as somewhere around 40% is the best for shelf life), but it would not accept a charge.   We did a reset by removing the battery & AC and pressing and holding the power button a number of times  (some people say 10 times, some two or three times for a count of 5 or 10).   This drains residual capacitance.
    We plugged back in the battery and AC and it began to charge.  
    Might be worth a try here before he opens it up ....

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

    Hi sanjoyapple, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that it can be concerning when your battery is not functioning as you would expect. There are several steps that I would recommend in this situation to troubleshoot. Troubleshooting the MagSafe adaptor and possibly resetting the SMC would be two of these steps. Please read over the attached article for instructions and more information on troubleshooting batteries.

  • Can anyone help me- I recently had an archive operating reinstall completed at the genius bar (so they didn't have to delete my hard drive), but now my battery says "not charging." It used to hold a 2.5 hour charge, and now nothing.  Can anyone help?

    Hi, Michelle. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Have you tried resetting the SMC? The SMC (System Management Controller) has control over the charging function, so resetting it may help.

  • MBA battery does not charge when connected. Help!

    My MBA battery does not charge when connected to the charger. Ive checked the other threads and followed advice but nothing seems to help.. My battery health info is good, I've tried cleaning the magnetic pins of the charger, reset smc but it still does not charge. The light on the charger is green or does not come on sometimes, and it's the same for a few Power outlets. What else can I do? Would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks.

    It recognizes the charger intermittently. After cleaning, it showed the charger as connected but not charging the battery. I will try my friends charger later to see if it works. Thanks for your help!
