HP Pavilion G6 Notebook (laptop) plugged in, not charging.

Hi,
I bought an HP Pavilion G6 notebook only a couple of months ago, and I have had this problem from the beginning. I have looked at some other forums and it seems like a lot of people have had the same problem with the laptop being plugged in, but not charging.
This problem is really frustrating, as the laptop is plugged in to the power source, and into the laptop, but half the time it isn't even registered as being plugged in. The battery gets drained. Once or twice the battery has fully run out (whilst plugged in) and then been charged to 100% next time it was turned on(???!!!!).
Please tell me if this is some kind of programming or software fault, or if it could be a hardware fault. I have run the battery checker several times and each time it has not found any problems with it. As the laptop sometimes recognises that it is in fact plugged in (but doesn't charge) I personally suspect that it is not a problem with the power adapter.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Thanks.
(Sorry for the long message)

Yes. Just put it back in.
You can do that while the power adapter is plugged in and the notebook is booted into Windows.

  • Hp630 laptop plugged in, not charging

    my hp630 laptop eventhough it was plugged in but doesn't charge at all...

    Hi,
    First of all, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.
    Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the notebook down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery and then start the notebook on just the battery.  Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - leave Windows running for a few minutes. Shut down the notebook again.  Now plug in the AC Adapter ( with the battery still inserted ) and start the notebook to see if this has helped the issue at all.

  • 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.

    Try updating The BIOS and then try it again. BIOS (latest): http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-62510-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&... If that fails to fix it, the battery will need replaced (if you want to) or ignored.

  • 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

  • A135-S4527 Battery plugged in, not charging

    There are 1000s of posts on the net but no solution is working. I'm summarizing the problem for those who are already frustrated by seeing solutions in the following order and did not work, so please do not provide any solution mentioned below 1. charger/cord/plug/outlet not working 2. battery dated non working 3. battery contacts unclean 4. restart / push power switch for 30 secs etc There are many where any of the above doesn't work as permanent solution. Sometimes it seems as working but it doesnt last for longer. Now stating the problem of mine specifically My battery was gone. I knew that when this started. The issue was, even if the AC Adapter is connected and the battery is ON and detected, it would always say x% remaining (Plugged in, not charging) - where x is < 100% . This message is so frustrating (even now I'm seeing this and I need to post before the battery gets discharged) Why would a AC Adapter not charge when it is connected and battery is charged less than 100%? Even if lets say a battery pack is not holding enough charge, it should attempt to continuously charge if the charge is less than 100% This has started when I upgraded the laptop Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527 to Win 7. I've replaced the battery with a new one and only thing I can charge the battery is shut down and keep the laptop with battery connected with AC Adapter. Since last few days even the red charging LED has stopped showing up. I've found that the problem is related to "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method battery" Have perfomed all sorts of instructions as given but none works Funniest part is when this message is on and battery is not charging while AC Adapter is connected, it is still drawing power off the battery as the % goes down and it simply knocks off when battery is fully discharged, completely ignoring that the AC Adapter is connected (Yes, it is connected as you can see the icon with the pin) I'd stop here for some advise before this goes off again. Thank you so much for your attention

  • Lenovo b570e "Plugged In, Not Charging"

    Recently Bought the new laptop Lenovo B570e.
    Few days back, the battery icon said "Plugged In, Not Charging"
    After googling with the issue I found one fix that worked, it is as follows:
    Disconnect AC
    Shutdown
    Remove battery
    Connect AC
    Startup
    Under the Batteries category, right-click all of the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listings, and select Uninstall (it’s ok if you only have 1).
    Shutdown
    Disconnect AC
    Insert battery
    Connect AC
    Startup
    However, today i experienced the same problem and i went for the same fix as above, but it didnt work...
    Please Suggest me a permanent solution for this problem!

    how to resolve plugged in, not charging? probook 4520s

    hi erico,
    thaks for your post
    I am using original adapter, that is included in the sales package.

    Disconnect AC, Shutdown, Remove battery
    Connect AC
    Startup (w/o battery)
    Open Device Manager
    Expand Batteries category & right-click all of the "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" listings (ok if only 1)
    Select Uninstall
    Click OK to confirm
    Expand System Devices.
    Right-click the “ACPI Fixed Features Button" and select Uninstall.
    Click OK to confirm
    Shutdown, Disconnect AC, Insert battery
    Connect AC
    Restart the machine
    My notebook is none warranty cause I bought it in KSA, I'm from Philippines and I think it is already out of warranty in KSA cause it was almost 1 year.
    Any idea how to resolve this problem? Please..
    Thanks in advance. 

  • 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

  • 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

    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

  • T540p plugged in, not charging

    I just got this laptop at end of February.  When I click on the icons in the lower right corner, there is an icon with a battery and plug.  It says 96% available (plugged in, not charging).
    Anyone know why?  And what the fix is?

    Hi Laurenametrano,
    Ok, please shutdown the system and remove the battery from the system, and switch on the system only with power adapter and go to device manager by right clicking the computer and select manage.
    In device manager go to batteries option and expand it and right click on Microsoft ACPI and click on uninstall, after that shutdown the system and connect battery and switch on the system by connecting both battery and power adapter and check it, this should resolve the issue.
    Please check the below image for further assistance.
