Ipod battery charging problem not found in any posts

OK here's the problem
The battery meter on my 5g flashes that charging symbol, even when it's not plugged in the wall.
And sometimes when I use my friends griffin charger it charges and than stays on the charged symbol even after I unplug it.
Also my apple charger doesn't work at all (not just mine, I borrowed my friends and it doesnt either work).
Also when I plug into the computer it mounts but doesn't charge.
OK I'll tell you what I did so far: I read ALL of apples related battery documents. I restored. I depleted the battery and recharged it. I bought a new cable.
I used my friends computer. I used the back USB port. Nothing is helping the ipod.
By the way I know for a fact that this all started when one time i did actually use the front usb port. It sort of jinxed the whole battery meter into it's current state. Any one with this problem? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

2nd dead iPod Touch 4G in 2 months? Battery/charging problems!

Hi everyone,
It seems as of tonight that I will have to return my second iPod Touch 4G in the last two months. In both cases, it was an issue where the device would no longer charge, and became very hot on the top of the back panel when the device was turned on even for a few seconds (while not being plugged in). In the first case, the device seemed to be defective from the time I opened the box, which was confirmed at an Apple Store, but they asked me to ship it to Apple Repair to be checked out. Apple took a very long time to get a replacement to me, but was good about that problem, and I was happy with the replacement for the past month when all of a sudden tonight the new one would not change and became very hot.
Is this an issue that anyone else has seen? I essentially only charged it off of my laptop or a wall charger unit, but it seems like the battery essentially is shorting out. I love this device, but actually need to use a PDA-type device enough that I am questioning whether I should get a replacement or go back to my old Palm TX.
Thanks for any thoughts/feedback on my iPod Touch 4G battery/charging problems.

Most battery complaints complain about loss of charge. The iPod is designed to lose heat through the back as the battery discharges. This is most common when using the device a lot - like playing games. If yours will no loner charge, by all means return it to Apple.
As far as being a PDA goes, it is as good as any smart phone out there. The PDA, as you once knew it, is dead and has been for 5+ years. Take your iPod to an Apple store and insist on a replacement.

Satellite A60: battery charging problem

Hey,
I have a toshiba satellite A60 notebook. My notebook is 2 years old. After I used my laptop in battery mode, it fell out because the battery was empty. When I plugged it in on the net, the battery led flashed amber for less than a second and went out again. The battery won't charge anymore and the batteryled is out.
Windows detects the battery though. The laptop still keeps running on the battery for some minutes. I already had this problem a year ago and after a few months the battery started charging again.
Does anyone have a simular problem and how do you solve it?
Thanks (sorry for the bad english)

Hi
Possibly the battery cannot charge properly because it has a malfunction.
Generally the battery performance decreases in process of time.
I read that you can charge and discharge the battery about 500 times and then the performance goes down.
You can try to remove the battery for a several time. After this time try to charge it.
I would also recommend checking if this issue happens also with a new battery.
But its also possible that there is something wrong with the power supply electronic.
This could have a bad influence on the charging procedure.
I have also read that the BIOS update have solved some battery charging problems.
But if the battery charging has worked since 2 years so I assume the BIOS is ok.
However, check it with a new battery.

Is the latest version of ipod software causing battery charging problems?

I have access to three different G3 ipods. All of them charged fine (either on AC wall charge or through firewire through the Mac. Now all three have the same charging problem after update to the latest Ipod software. All seem to recharge for only an hour or so then stop charging and show the large full battery icon but when disconnected show less than a full charge on the small meter. If you plug it back into the charger or firewire it will again begin to charge as shown through the large icon. Unpluging and replugging will eventually get to full charge on the small icon it takes at least three times to get it there. It's really annoying and based on the sheer number of posts about this problem,one must suspect that the battery management software must have changed. Has anyone noticed the same coincidence?

Is this problem related ot the 5G ipod?

Yoga 3 Pro Battery Charging Problems

I've combined several discussions into one because there are multiple cross-overs of symptoms.
After reviewing all the posts, I see there are two types of problems discussed:
Battery charging but only to a certain percentage
Battery intermittently charging
Several people have reported success with their limited battery percentage problem by following the solutions suggested by MarinM and Vladtech.
For the intermittent charging, several people have reported that sometimes the battery charges, sometimes it doesn't. I'd like to dig into these reports. I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
When does it charge, when does it not?
Are there any patterns to this?
Does swapping electrical outlets make a difference?
Does the USB 2.0 charging port appear loose?
Does the cable show any signs of damage?
Does the AC adapter show any signs of damage?
When a second device is plugged into the extra USB port on the AC Adapter, does this impact Y3P charging?
Are there any battery error messages?
Thank you for your help,

Y50 battery charging problems

hello,
received my new y50 a few days ago and began seting it up. the first few hours it was working fine. battery charged up to the full 100%, i then disconected the power cord to let the battery drain down to about 20%. i then plugged it back in and shut the computer down left it charging overnight. this is when the problems started.
waking up the next day i turn it back on to see that the battery is only at 21%. no mater how long i left it charging it did not change from 21%. So i decide to unplug it again to let it fully discharge. while unplugged it ran for another ~hour all the time staying at 21% until i finally shut off out of nowhere.
plugged in the cord and turned it back on, battery shows 0% plugged in, charging. but it never gains any % charge just stuck there. i do some reading online and decide to do the generic power down, unplug power cord and remove battery, hold power button for 30 seconds, then reconnect everything and power up. When it boots up the battery indicator now shows 2% and over the course of the next 10-12 hours it increased by mabe 30% more. the indicator NEVER changes its percent the only way to see the change in the charge is to shutdown/restart.
today is the third day and after many hours of use i got stuck at around 76% (only reaching this number by restarting every few hours to get a new updated battery charge%) since it stayed stuck at 76% for a while i went for the more hardcore fix ive seen online:
power down> unplug power cord>remove battery>plugin power cord and startup on power cord only>uninstalled the microsoft acpi-compliant control method battery driver>shut down>re-installed battery>plugged in cord and restarted. the driver then automatically re-installed itself and brings me to where i am now.
now a few hours since doing that im up to 83% charge, but same problem remains the only way to update the charge % is by restarting/shutdown and occasionally i can remove the power cord and plug it back in while computer is on and it will update.
Any advice or suggestions on what to do, the 2 main problems i see are:
1. battery charge % doesnt update dynamically, requires power down of some form to update it
2. over 24 hours of being 'plugged in,chargin' just to charge ~80%

i have found the culprit to the problem, but it is one that doesnt make much sense to me.
if i try to install the intel video drivers from the y50-70 drivers page in lenovo support, or if i try to install the intel video driver from windows update, i lose the functionality of the battery indicator. it does show when its connected to ac or runnig on battery power, but it wont update the % load nor time remaining. only way to charge to full is when off.
i did ANOTHER fresh install and am currently running with all drivers installed except for any version of intel video driver and the battery indicator and charging times when powered on are functioning.
any chance to get new intel video drivers for win 8.1 for hte y50-70?

Intermittent battery charger problem

The green LCD on my Blackbook magnetic end of the battery charger sometimes glows dull when I connect it and has to be disconnected and reconnected again before it glows green . Any idea what's up - connnections are clean and no sign of loose or bet connectors. Intermittent problem that's buging me

I've got the exact same problem, but a little more severe, I'm afraid. It used to be nothing more than what you described, but it seems to get worse over time. In fact, I downloaded that firmware update that was supposed to fix the battery problems the moment I became aware of it, and it has only seemed to hurt. I used to be able to just unplug/plug the cable, and it would work. Now I have to sit for five to ten minutes just to get the dull light, and if it becomes bright to signify charging, the slightest motion stops the charging. P.S. I am typing this on a Windows PC against my will, as I cannot get my MacBook to charge at all right now.

IPod battery charging

I've had my 5th Gen iPod for a month or so now and love it! However, I wanted to know what is the best way to keep the battery in optimum condition. The way I use my iPod at the moment is to run it during the day and then plug it into the Mac at night, so I have only ever used a little bit of the battery. Is it best to completely run the battery down between charges? Will 'micro charging' degrade the battery faster.
I ask this because the consensus of opinion with mobile phone batteries for example is to occasionally run them until completely flat and then fully recharge. Is this the same with the iPod battery?

Here's some essential reading on the iPod battery that will probably answer your questions. The "iPod battery unplugged" site is especially good.

MacBook Battery Charge Problem - With a Twist

I got a white MacBook in October to replace an ailing iBook. It ran fine for almost five months, with a slight twist that I've been reticent to come on here and ask about.
Problem #1: The battery charging had what I'd call frustrating behavior. The computer would not charge the battery unless I practically ran the battery down to nothing. Usually it wouldn't start charging until 20-30% charge. My old iBook would start charging at about 85%, so I just figured it was some failsafe that Apple was building in to the new system to improve long-term battery life. This frustration continued until today when...
Problem #2: I went to a coffee shop to do some work. I'd forgotten the night before that I hadn't let my battery run down enough to charge it, so the battery was at 35%. Okfine. I'll run it for a few minutes and then plug it in. I wait. 30%, 25%, 20% and whenever I plug it in to test, it won't charge. I run it all the way down to the point where the system automatically goes to sleep. The battery won't charge. I've reset all the things that can be reset, I've reseated the battery, I've turned it off and back on, I let it sleep for an extra amount of time to squeeze that extra bit out of the battery. No beans. The thing refuses to charge.
In system info, the battery information shows that it's completely dead (remaining power at zero across the board, not the negative numbers I've seen reported in other threads). The power information recognizes that it's a battery with 0% charge, but only says "Calculating until full..." Given that it won't charge, it's going to be calculating for a very long time. The battery flashes one light when I press the button.
I'm going to take it in to an authorized service whatsit on Monday, but in the meantime, what is it likely to be? I've seen answers ranging from bad battery to faulty motherboard. Is there any step I've overlooked to try before resorting to a trip to the store?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, if it says your battery is only at 18% of it's charge after just a few months, then there is definitely something wrong with it. They will probably give you a replacement battery, considering it is still under warranty. My iBook (2 Years Old) is down to 29% of it's original charge capacity, so I am in need of a new one myself :\
2 Years is what Apple says is the average life span of a laptop battery.

Ipod mini charging problem

My daughter's ipod mini seems to have issues. The latest is when you plug it into the computer the apple flashes and makes a clicking sound but that is it.Won't charge or turn on. It has happened before and usually after awhile it will start charging . No luck this time. Any ideas?
Thanks

IPod Battery Charging Help

Going on honeymoon this week and would like to use my iPod. However, I'm not quite sure how to keep the battery charged. Is it possible to use the USB charging process without having the iPod software installed onto the computer you are using? Thanks

Yes in fact it is....
When my mom brought home her nano, the software wasn't installed on the pc, and without reading the label on the disc... I just plugged the nano in, it began charging, although.... you couldn't add music or anything. But it should charge.

Hp 530 battery/charger problem

Hi all
I have an old HP 530 laptop which came with a 32Wh battery. About 6months ago, I decided to buy a new battery since the first one died out.
I bought a genuine 64Wh 440704-001 battery, because i wanted the laptop to last longer when not plugged.
However, i came up with many problems such as:
(1) The 65w charger was not able to keep the battery charged and the laptop on at the same time.
(2) I decided to buy a genuine 90w HP charger, but i encountered the same problem.
(3) I bought a not genuine 120w charger with appropriate connector, but, believe or not, due to the high current that the battery draws when uncharged, the plastic tip of the connector melts, and that of course leads to serious problems. I bought a genuine hp 90w tip and soldered it onto the 120w charger, and same problem occurs.
I have spent a lot of money just because i wanted a longer life battery, and nothing works right now.
What am i suggested to do, and mostly, why problem (2) exists? A 90w charger shouldn't have solved the problem of the high capacity battery?
Thanks
John

when the cord is plugged in, it doesnt connect into place. like it'd have to be plugged into the laptop and then the cord pushed up against something, like the wall holding into place. i dont think its anything within the laptop. and you have to turn/twist the cord for it to actually light up and charge. otherwise it stays orange and doesnt charge.

IPod battery charged but won't play

Has anyone experienced this problem? My iPod shows as charged but as soon as it is placed in use, the battery seems to lose its charge immediately. If I place it on the charger, within seconds it shows the battery as charged again. Would this just be a bad battery or something else? Thanks.

At first glance, that appears to be a symptom of a bad battery.

Ipod nano charging problem

I got ipod nano today.
After unpack I tried to charge 5 hours but it never charge up.
So I disconnected usb cable and tried to operate ipod even there was mark of very low charged mark on screen.
But it turned off suddenly with message of low battery.
So I had to charge again but I saw the big low battery sign with thunder mark on the center of screen with some buzzing sound and tiny bip sound when I connect ipod nano to USB port.
Are these normal?

Bought an Ipod Nano today and I GOT THE SAME PROBLEM!!
I could not start it at all, charged it for like 4 hours, nothing helped.
What I though could do, was mount it to the PC, and the PC could feel it, and I could see the drive etc.
Now to the solution, I ran the update Ipod program, and updated the program in the Ipod, and RIGHT AWAY it lighted up and now it seems like it works?
Really strange.. Try to update yours to!
