Laptop/battery wont charge

toshiba L305 S5919i plug it into the outlet. It says 0% plugged in charging.. yet never charges. it wont run without being plugged in. ideas to solve?thanks

From Toshibahttp://www.toshiba.com/us/accessories/Power/Batteries/PA3534U-1BRS If you feel like that is a bit too much, you can go for a generic battery. The one below comes with a 18 Month warranty.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=16J-000D-0A291&cm_re=L305-S5919_battery-_-16J-000D-0A291-_-Product The Average battery Typically only holds up to about 3.5 hours in idle mode, 2 hours in low performance mode and about a hour in performance mode. Your display brightness will also affect it quite a bit aswell. If you are gaming or watching videos I would only expect 1 to 1.5 hours before needing charged. Just a FYI when a computer says it can last up to 3 hours on a battery, it is refering to idle mode.

My dell laptop battery wont charge, HELP

Do anyone know what is wrong. it works when it is plugged but wont charge

Most likely there is something wrong with the battery. If the battery is under warranty, Dell should be able to provide a replacement. If not, it might be time for a new one as batteries typically do not last the life of the laptop.

Battery wont charge at high loads all of a sudden?!

ANy help here would be appriciates, asap! thanks:P
All of a sudden, as of today, my battery wont charge when the mbp is under a high load. I thought it was just not charging (was not charging in wow) and then realised as soon as i quit, it started to charge again. SO i ran 2 yes > /dev/null to test, and all of a sudden it stopped charging and the magsafe light went to green... (at 25%) as soon as i stopped one of hte processes, abck to orange, charging... started a 2nd up, stopped charging and started to use the battery again.
Does ANYONE have any idea what is going on? i know macbooks can't cahrge under high loads, however, im on a MBP and it has never happened until this evening. Any ideas guys? could it be the bettery somehow, actual computer short not letting it get enough power.... anything? 3 month old mbp (3rd one, first two never had a problem, nor this until tonight)
callign apple in morning, but hoping to resolve before since the closest store is hrs away.. thanks!

Hey,
I've actually used yes to test it ( yes > /dev/null) in console to mac the cores, its standard on all systems. They've sent em a new power supply saying it sounds like 'it isnt getting all the current' basically, which, seems rather odd. it ONLY started after the keyboard update, as if the new firmware ***** more power ot eh usb hub and it just pushed it over.. maybe my magsafe was always busted nto working properly, but it's always worked for me.. I have a feeling i'm gonna be going into the store an hr away this weekend :/
Had a friend who has NOT ran the update try, and at full loads he still charge fine, unplugged with it running to drain battery a bit, plugged in and it went ot charge, i tried again and it goes green and wont charge at a heavy load Oh, yea, and my laptop wont go on w/o battery and plugged in.. like it's not getting the full 85w, or.. somethign is toasted on my actual laptop. CCC here i come for a drive clone tonight! heh

My ipod touch 2g 8gb has no battery, wont charge on my pc or on my outlet 220W, and it wont turn on.

My ipod touch 2g 8gb has no battery, wont charge on my pc (Hp Pavilion g6 intel Pentium 2.2Ghz, 2 gb) or on my outlet 220W, and it wont turn on. What should I do?

Hi there fCdawg123!
I have an article here that can address this issue for you and give you some further troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
As you may note, this article was written for the iPhone, but the steps for troubleshooting will be the same for your iPod touch. This is the section that I believe will help you the most with this issue:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

I recently bought the iphone 5 in November and ever since it has had problems with the battery, As most people have. Recently my battery has gone down quicker and quicker.

Now when it is charging it does not charge but drain the battery faster. I have tried buying a new charger, using older charges. I have updated the phone and nothing. I dont know what to do.

Hi
I think the new battery should be tested but before doing this be sure that you use the latest BIOS
I means either its battery issue or notebooks power supply electronic issue and before the notebooks hardware would be checked, the notebook should be tested using new good working battery.

Hi nellyjan,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are having a problem with your battery not charging and I will be happy to help. You didn't mention your operating system but Mini typically only have Windows 7. Try Testing and Calibrating the Battery to see that gets it going.
You can resetting the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery which is basically the driver that communicates between the computer and the battery. There is a chance that it is corrupted.
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
When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver.
Step 8. Go to Device Manager
Step 9. Select Batteries
Step 10. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
Step 11. Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"
Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.

If you have access to another MagSafe (any MagSafe will do, even a different wattage), try it out. If that other MagSafe works, then replace your power cord. If that MagSafe does not, you will have to have your MacBook serviced to replace the defective power source on the motherboard.

Kernel_task 336% usage and Battery wont charge (MacBook Air 2012medio 11")

Hi Apple fans.
I've a one year old MacBook Air, 2012 Medio 11" 1.7ghz Intel Core 5, 4GB ram, Intel Graphics 4000 - and Mountoun Lion installed.
The problem is, that its awfully slow. It startet last week, where I bootet up normally, and saw the Battery didnt't charged (x as battery indicator). And even worse the general state of the machine is VERY slow. Everything is working with severe lagging - even just typing in Safari browser... like you type GOOGLE.COM and it enters it after nearly 20 sec.
I've narrow it through Activity Monitor to KERNEL_TASK using 336% usage (dont ask why its not 100% ;-). Rendering it absolutly uselsess. The Screen is darkend, behaps because the Kernel is taking on all CPU usage, rendering nothing left so maybe the MacBook Air auto goes into this mode, for protecting. The fan is not hammering, so it appears to work fine.
I've tried Once doing the SMC reset. It actually worked seeing the battery getting charged. But next day same problem, and now the trick of SMC wont work again!.
What to do?
I havent tried NVRAM reset or even SAFE MODE (that is my trick for tomorrow), but are there any order you should do this (ex. Safe Mode first, then SMC reset, then NVRAM reset)? Do you have to do a SMC reset several times before it works?
Hope anybody can help me out?
Regards, Thomas

New battery wont charge

I just got a new battery in the mail today and it wont charge!! theres a battery icon with a red X through it . help!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully that "new" and "known good" are not necessarily the same...while rare, a new battery can certainly be defective. Further, only by finding someone else with an identical BB with no issues can you actually trade batteries and narrow down if the problem is the battery or your BB.
Good luck and let us know!
