Laptop puged in shows charging but batery is not charging

Hello,
Ihave an HP Probook 4540s, and recently it started to act up, i plug it in it shows on the window pluged in,charging. The animation moves for a second and then stops.
Weird thing is sometimes it charges only if i leave it for the night pluged in. But last 2 days it shows no sighn of charging, i have ran Hp batery check with cable pluged in and not results are drastically different. With cable it shows to replace teh batery, when i plug it out it says batery is ok.
What do i do?

I met this problem in my new 8460p which the battery only charged 2 times. I found in the web but a lot of solutions are useless.
After Battery Checker by HP support assistant I found the Cell Voltage 1:0 mV. Is it any problem here?

Laptop says, "plugged in, charging" but it's not charging

I have a Satellite T134-1330 and it is a year and a half old. I was traveling, so my computer was stashed away for three weeks. When I got back, it was dead, but turned on when I plugged it in. Then I noticed later that it the battery was at 22% and not charging any more, yet it says it is. I tried taking it out and putting it back in, and I also tried draining the battery and then charging it. Now it just says, "0% remaining (plugged in, charging)" I can't figure it out! I googled it and found someone with the same problem. Could the first response be the solution? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100703035214AA9YPb0 Thanks

I've been having problems with the laptop being plugged in but then shutting down without warning from low battery. Just today my laptop shut off without warning so I started really paying attention to it, and I noticed that the battery icon would say "Plugged in, charging" but the charge was actually decreasing. It got down to 8% and I was frantically googling for a solution, because it was losing charge even though plugged in, when I found your post, Peter. I followed the steps and now it is charging and is up to 87%. Remains to be seen if this is a permanent solution, but it saved me a lot of aggravation today! I have dozens of eBay auctions going right now and don't want to be without my laptop. Thanks, and please reply if you have any more information about this issue with the Satellite L645D laptops.

Power supply LED shows orange, but battery is not charging

Hi everyone,
My iBook G4 seemed to stop recharging the battery. Here is the info from the system profiler and coconutbattery (when the computer is plugged to power supply):
Battery installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 3924
Remaining capacity (mAh): 1317
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 16637
Cycle count: 56
AC charger (watts): 50
Connected: Yes
Charging: No
The puzzling part is that the LED ring on the power supply was orange, indicating it was recharging (more on this later), but the power status icon on the menu bar showed plugged (rather than the flashing thunderbolt icon indicating recharging) and saying "Calculating...." I have reset the power management module several times, but it did not resolve the problem. The battery seems still ok based on its charge cycle (only 56), though the capacity is only 89% of its original. The computer can still run totally fine as long as it is plugged to the power supply. It looks like the computer (power management unit?) simply decided to stop recharging, even though the battery is only 33% full. Any thought? BTW, does any one know the orange LED on the power supply will show up when it is recharging, or whenever it "senses" the battery is not fully charged?
Many thanks in advance!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As Joshua mentions, the problem could be the power adaptor. Here's an article on troubleshooting it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1725
For a battery to charge, three things have to work--the battery, the power adaptor, and the DC In Board, which is what contains the power port.
Your battery sounds OK. If you can, find a known good power adaptor to try--maybe a friend's or one at the Apple Store.
If both the adaptor and the battery are good, that leaves the DC In Board. What often happens is that the power port eventually becomes damaged from normal use and no longer makes good contact, often due to broken solder connections. If this is the case, the DC IN Board will need to be repaired or replaced.
Also check that the battery contacts are good and not bent or damaged.
Good luck!

Battery Icon Shows "18% available (plugged in, charging)" But Battery Does Not Charge

The PC does operate on the battery only, just fine (so far, as there is only 18% remaining).
The PC operates with AC plugged in also.
LED by AC input is amber (looks orange to me).
According to the User Guide that indicates charging.
Battery Check status is "OK"
I have had it on charge for over 12 hours and still at 18%.
When starting up, the battery icon shows charging movement then stops at a low level.
I measured the charger output at 20VDC (no load). Which is as specified.
I have tried all the suggestions about uninstalling and reinstalling the ACPI Complient Control Method.......etc.
Removing battery, shutting down and all the rest of suggestions.
No help.
I was told there was a BIOS update which I installed. (I'll post about that in another board). No help.
If I ever get this fixed it's going back to the vendor, Should not have this happen with less than 3 months since new.
Just got it back from repair for battery latch falling off. (Back plate was changed.)
Anything new would be appreciated.

Hi @xdellman,
Thank you for your query and realize how frustrating this is.
I gathered from your post you have tried most of the troubleshooting steps to no avail.
If you check the adapter do you notice any damaged or bent pins as this can cause charging issues?

Y510P "plugged in, charging" but battery is not charging

Hi guys, I ran into this problem a few days ago where the laptop is plugged in, it says its charging, but the battery % won't go up at all. It started around 16% and each time I unplugged it for whatever reason it would go down but when I would plug it back in it wouldn't charge it back up. So now I'm at 8% and afraid to unplug it again.
I have the Energy Management set to Balanced, Maximum Battery Life, and it's status is "Charging" and "Good".
Any help is appreciated, thank you guys.

hi kanyewest,
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. While having the battery and AC adapter plugged-in, boot into the BIOS (by pressing F2) and unplug the AC adapter until the system shuts off (this is to compete the discharge the battery).
2. Once the machine shuts down, remove and reinsert the battery and plugin the AC adapter then let the battery charge for about 2hrs while the machine is off and observe the battery lifght indicator. After 2hrs, power up the machine and observe the battery percentage.
- Link to picture
If the battery is stucked at 0%, I recommend you contact lenovo and report your findings as the battery may need to be replaced.

Charger plugged in but battery is not charging but windows says it is charging.

I have an HDX X18T-1100 CTO Premium Notebook 64bit with Vista Ultimate...I thought my battery was bad because when charger is plugged in the icon in system tray says" plugged in, charging" but it's not charging so I bought a new battery. Same problem so I replaced the AC/DC plug in the computer....still the same problem... says batter at 7% (plugged in, charging) but it's not charging.

Hi,
This could well be a Hardware problem with the charging circuitry, but it may be worth trying the following.
First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute.
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 PC down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook. Windows will reinstall the missing driver soon after logon. Leave it to idle for a few minutes, then restart again to see if this has helped the issue at all.
Regards,
DP-K

I have my ipad plugged into my mac to charge, but it's not showing up in itunes. Can i just unplug it without hurting it??

I have my ipad plugged into my mac to charge, but it's not showing up in itunes. Can i just unplug it without hurting it??

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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.

Why isnt my ipod touch 4g charging? Every time i put it in the charger the screen shows a picture of a battery with a red bar. I know that means it needs charging but my ipod wont charge!!

Well , my ipod fell alot when its with me. Like now it has a broken screen & before the broken screen its been in water. So the thing is , my ipod wont charge! Like everytime i put it in a charger the screen shows a picture of a battery with a red bar then it just disappears! I know that means it needs charging but my ipod wont charge at alll!!! I even tried leaving my ipod in the charger for a whole day and it still wont charge! Can some one please help me???

Try the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Also, look at the dock connector. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts. foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
I suspect a hardware problem.

Hi there! When I read your post, I realized that a clean boot or a safe mode might help. I suggest you read the articles on them if you are not familiar. However, a legacy boot menu to enter a safe mode is unfortunately difficult in windows 8.1 as revealed in method 5 of the following article http://www.7tutorials.com/5-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-8-windows-81 I am sorry that I was unable to provide a solution directly but hope that this reply will give a direction..............
