Laptop not charging. What do I do?

My charging cord seemed to stop working. When I plug it in and connect it to my computer I see a plug symbol inside the batter where it usually shows a charging symbol or the level of charge in the battery. What does a plug symbol in the battery mean? And how do you fixed it so that your laptop will charge? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Neihana06,
The plug icon indicates that the battery is charged and that your MacBook Pro is now running on power from your charger rather than the battery.

Ipod will not charge, what do I do :(

I dropped my ipod in the snow, there was a little water in the charge port, but it would still charge, but it wouldn't charge on my ipod dock (it would before) and then my battery got low so I went to charge it and it would not charge, what should I do? it is also jailbroken

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. This is likely the problem
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Go ahead and sync. You have plenty of battery to get that done.
USB pours do not provide enough power to charge an iPad efficiently. Once you finish your sync go ahead and use your iPad. Put it on the charger that came with it later.

My ipad is not charging what can I do to fix?

Ipad not charging what can I do?

1. Reset iPad
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air

Why is my laptop not charging?

My mom's laptop will not charge when the cord is plugged in and turns green but then does not go to yellow saying it is charging. Is this a battery issue? or what?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First try resetting the SMC, the PRAM, and NVRAM.

It could be a problem with the power adapter, the battery, or just that some battery settings need to be recalibrated: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
To see more information about the charging status and health of the battery, click on the  Apple logo in the upper left menubar.
Select About this Mac, then More Info...
Select Hardware, Power in the left Contents column:
You're on OS X 10.5.8, so your screen may not look exactly like this one, but you should still see similar information. I have a replacement battery, so the Model information will not be the same.

TS3274 the battery of ipad is not charging, what could be the reason?

Today I got my iPad Mini, andI plugged it into my computer and next to the battery bar it says "Not Charging" what does this mean?

Plugged in my iPad Mini into my computer and it would say next to the battery Bar "Not Charging" , and I'm wondering what this means. Thank you!

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I think you will find out soon that posting a question in the wrong area of a Forum is not the right way to get a rapid reply.
I moved your first "off-topic" post to the correct area (Laptop Hardware) - that way your question will be read by folks who are familiar with your issue!
You have now posted a duplicate post in another incorrect area.
Please follow your original post that was moved to Laptop Hardware.
Thanks for your understanding.

New laptop not charge battery

I just bought Pro book 440 g1 for 2 day, and now i can not charge the battery.
1. when the laptop power off, the battery led is not light, and not charge ( i see the battery 97% in windows, after 30 minutes, it's still 97%).
2. when i am in windows, the power manage said that "it's pluged in but not charging", and my laptop use AC power not battery.
I've tried:
1. unistall microsoft battery driver and re install the driver but it's not work.
2. try to remove the battery then press power button in 1 minutes, and put the battery in, when i put battery in see the battery led light only once, then plugin in adapter but it's not work.
3. The adapter is woking well.
Please help me! Why the new laptop have problem.

Certainly. Assuming you have being using this PowerBook for some time, I would recommend first backing up any important files to CD, DVD, or external drive, as you will be completely erasing the contents of the hard drive using my method.
The discs that came with your PowerBook should include one labelled something like "PowerBook G4 15-inch and 17-inch Mac OS X Install Disc 1". If you insert this disc into your PowerBook, you will see an application on the disc entitled "Install Mac OS X" (or similar). If you run this program, it will restart your PowerBook and enter the OS X installer.
During the process of going through this installer, at some stage (I can't remember exactly when) a button entitled "Customize" or "Options" will appear. If you click on this, it will give you several options for your new install of OS X - "Upgrade and Install", "Archive and Install", and "Erase and Install".
I don't personally know if the other two would have any effect on your battery issues, as I haven't tried them myself in regard to this particular program. Again, I must stress that if you follow this method you will erase all data from your hard drive during the process, and lose any of your documents etc. I would recommend backing up all of your data prior to trying this as a method. The Apple Store or AppleCare may also be able to offer more information on the Erase & Install method or backing up your data.
I hope that's of some use to you,
Tim Whitmore

Hi Sandy,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
Lenovo’s Energy Management interface tool allows user-modification of system settings to make better use of available energy when running mobile versus stationary. Function also allows you to set options for screen brightness, CPU speed and other features which might impact mobile run time. Battery Gauge Reset can only be checked while performing the reset. Battery Gauge Management will not affect the battery but instead increases the life by changing specific settings. The Battery can be used after the Gauge Reset.
As you have performed all the troubleshooting steps and the issue persists. I would strongly suggest you to contact our Technical Support for further Assistance to get the details of the nearest Authorized Service Center to get the issue analyzed.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Do post us back for further queries.

I have my iphone plugged in, it shows that it is connected but will not charge. what can i do?

Yesterday when I got up I noticed my phone did not charge the night before. I unplugged it and tryed a different outlet, and a different plug and my computer. None worked. I went to verizon they told me nothing can be done but to get a new phone. This morning I took a soft brush and a little bit of alcohol and now it is reconizing the charger but not charging. What can I do?

Maybe it is charging but battery meter is not updating. Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off". See if it seems to be charging now, or is fully charged. If still not charging, most likely the damage that the dock experienced possibly killed the battery. Battery replacement would be my next step.

I really don't quite understand that. How about a bit of clarity. lets start with proper identification of your notebook. You have mixed up dv7 and the beginning of an Intel CPU identification. that is not a viable identification number. When you remove the battery take a look in the compartment revealed to find the p/n. Post it here please.
When your battery is replaced with another battery in your laptop does it charge? Is the replacement battery a known working battery?
Have you tried the battery check in BIOS or the HP Support Assistant?
Does your notebook boot into Windows with just the power adapter connected?

My ipod classic is not charging. what can I do?

my classic ipod will not charge through computer or dock. Tried reseting...nothing. It will not even give me any indication that it is working. When tring to charge the battery, the battery icon doesn't even appear. What can I do?

Most likely the iPod battery is dead.
If you connect the iPod to a USB2.0 port and reset it, what do you see on the iPod Screen. Can you get to the Music menu and play music? or do you get the "Do not disconnect screen"?
Have a nive day!

My iphone 4s will not charge - what can I do?

I have had my iphone for about 8 weeks now, and now I can't get it to charge, even I put in the usb cable in my pc, or in the normal switch on the wall - what to do?

Try following these steps.

Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.

Msi laptop not charging warranty urgent help!

Hey guys so recently my msi laptop stoppe charging the local repairman told m that the charging circuit has issues or the motherboard so I was wondering would my warranty cover that? I had a problem long before 3 months after I purchased my laptop where I would have chargin issues where when I unplug the laptop and it drops to like 40% and when I plug my charger back in it won't charge back, it takes days for my laptop to start charging again if that makes any sense to you. I didn't think a lot about it because I'm always home so it wasn't really an issue but now it's an issue because my laptop stoppe charging completely it crapped the bed. What I'm wondering is if my warranty can cover the faulty motherboard or motherboard damage or the broken charging circuit. Any help will be appreciated.

Agree with Syrellaris, if it's under warranty and you didn't break the warranty sticker.(depends on which country you are at)
You won't have any problem to have it repaired. Contact with your local MSI service center.
