Lenovo P580 battery "plugged in, not charging" problem?

Hi, I have a Lenovo P580 that is almost 3 years old, and I recently bought a new battery from Amazon to replace the original battery that came with the laptop. However, after installing the new battery, I can't get it to charge with the AC adapter plugged in. The new battery had a 60% charge initially. I currently have the battery setting in "battery fully-charged mode." The battery indicator light is red and flashes quickly, regardless of whether the AC adapter is plugged in or not (and despite having 60% charge). In the bottom right-hand corner of the desktop taskbar, the battery is recognized as being "plugged in, not charging." Is there a way to get the battery to charge? Or should I return the battery and get a different one? I really don't think the battery is the problem, but who knows. Thanks.

hi MlodyDziura,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Can you Verify that when the Computer is Plugged in and Turned on the battery icon on the lower right states that it is Plugged in not Charging.
And how many Percent it says on the status.
Thanks

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

HP laptop battery plugged in not charg.....

I bought a HP Mini 5101 from US in April .I had the common problem of charger being plugged in but not charging, I tried all the reboot and tapping the power button etc, etc... None worked, so as long as the computer worked when plugged in I carried on, until now. It has completely died on me now, so help...

1) if the battery is charged for around 90%(depends on model to model it may be 80% also) its normal to avoid anty unwanted charge cycle. this will help improve battery life.
2) if the machine is not charging because to used in too hot ambient temprature or its heating up for some reason. option is to let the machine cool down and it will start charging. this is again technology limitation and safety measure.
if above are not true: Try this:
Disconnect AC
Shutdown
Remove battery
Connect AC
Startup
Open Device Manager
Click the plus (+) sign next to Batteries category, right-click All of the "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" listings, and select Uninstall In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK. (it’s ok if you only have 1 of these listings).
Click the plus (+) sign next to System Devices.
Right-click the “ACPI Fixed Features Button" and select Uninstall. In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK.
Shutdown
Disconnect AC
Insert battery
Connect AC
Startup
hope it helps, Good Luck !

LENOVO Y500 - BATTERY GAUGE RESET - NOT CHARGING

I am using Lenovo Y500 for last two years. There was not a single problem. I tested "battery gauge reset" option under Energy Management tool in the last night. I discovered in the morning , i could not turn on the laptop! Finally i turn on the laptop with the help of this forum.
1. Turn off laptop
2. Remove battery
3. Charger connect
4. Turn on laptop
5. Connect battery
No problem. Charger connect and battery is charging. But when i remove the charger , laptop can not detect the charger again !!! If i want to charge it, i must repeat from the process 1.
What can i do? (No warranty)

hi durlove716,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
This laptop still support the old DC jack connector
I would suggest have another AC adapter,Regardless of the brand as long as it is for a laptop, and try plugging it in and see if it wil get detected. Or I Most recommend bringing the laptop to a Repair shop and have another AC adapter tested to it.

Dm1-4175 Plugged in, Not Charging

I have a HP dm1-4175. The "plugged in, not charging" problem is affecting it. This is not the first time this has happened. The last time it was fixed after an update, so I assumed it would not happen again. But some more updates were installed yesterday I think, and now the problem has happened again. Anything I can do?
Thanks.

I think I've found a way around it. I downloaded a previous version of the bios and installed that (over the newer version). Then my laptop tells me it needs to update since it's not at the newest version anymore. I let it update itself normally again (always plugged in, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference). This has always sorted my problem. Time-consuming though.
It's still annoying that it happens every time though, I'm still waiting on a proper answer to fix it for ever.

Lenovo G700 Plugged In Not Charging

My Lenovo G700, which is a week old, is saying that it is "plugged in, not charging". It was working fine until last night when I closed the lid to put it into sleep mode for the first time. I have checked that it is set to maximum battery life and it is still not working. It's stuck on 98%. I am severely disappointed that something like this has happened a week into having my first Lenovo. I hope someone can help me rectify this problem.

hi Zadeth,
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try to:
1. Turn off the machine and remove the AC adapter and battery
2. Hold the power button for 10secs then plug the AC adapter back in.
3. Turn the computer ON and when it gets to Windows, slide the battery back in place and observe the charge.
Alternatively, try to use the battery charge until it asks you to plug the AC adapter and observe if the charge goes all the way to 100%.
Let me know your findings
Regards

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!

Satellite L450 - battery states '18% available plugged in, not charging'

Laptop is a L450-181 and is literally two years and two weeks old!!! gutted... help!!!

no, still doesn't work... i'm wondering that the problem is the battery, maybe the cells inside are corrupt or something...
...have others shared the same problem? - 'plugged in, not charging'
what is annoying, is that since i lost my job, i didn't want to fork out a meagre 10 per month on extending the warranty... so it ran out just over two weeks ago... i'm worried if this would corrupt the computer when the battery runs down to 0% available... at the moment it is 13% and falling!
thanks for responding feliks! I hope you got the answers compadre!

Thinkpad X1 Carbon (3Gen) Battery Not Charging (plugged in not charging)

I have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon (Gen3) Model 20BS touchscreen running Windows 7 64 bit. The battery is not charging -- it's in a perpetual state of "plugged in not charging" and even when plugged in, it’s losing appr 1 percent per day (down to 31%). This has happened a few times over the past 3-4 months since I got the machine, but I've managed to find things that "fixed" it (at least temporarily): - Resetting the power gauge worked once - Changing the custom battery charge threshold worked a few times - Plugging in the power cord at different stages of reboot seemed to fix it once (although not sure why / how) Based on previous thread posts, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Power Manager and then tried to run Battery Gauge Reset, but to no avail. And the reset only appears to run for about 30 sec before the system tray icon switches back to normal. Thanks in advance. Karl

So lets isolate problems,
Either your DC power jack requires replacement
or
You are facing motherboard issues

Battery status showing "not charging" when power adapter is plugged in

I just bought a brand new Magsafe adapter 60w for my macbook but it seems that when i plugged in to my macbook, the battery status showed "not charging". I have to disconnect and plug in again. This also happened when I used my previous power adapter, that is why I got a new one. Is this a common problem? Please advise what could be done.

Hi
Try resetting the SMC. This sometimes solves this type of problem, in fact, it's listed as one of the reasons why you should try this:

IdeaPad S205 Battery Not Charging problem

Hello, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S205, and have run into some trouble. The charger recently stopped working properly, and I bought a replacement - the original charger has an output of 20V, whereas the replacement has an output of 19V. However, I wouldn't think this would make a difference. This said, when I plugged in the new charger, it said "plugged in, not charging". I took the battery out, and put it back in again, as I have had a similar trouble before, and doing this fixed it. The system stayed running while the battery was out, and I've noticed the battery percentage is not going down while this replacement is plugged in. Also, the original now seems to do the same - "plugged in, not charging". Can anyone offer any assistance?
Solved!

hi Ben_R,
That's odd. Can you try to::
1. Turn the computer ON just with the AC adapter and when Windows loads up, slide the battery back in place and observe.
2. Turn off the machine with the battery inserted. While the machine is off, plug the AC adapter and observe if the battery gets charged.
- Link to picture (battery light indicator meaning)

Dv6928us: Laptop not running in Battery, '0% available, Plugged in, not charging' but fine in power

Product No. dv6928us: Laptop is not running in Battery. Battery icon indicates, '0% available, Plugged in, not charging' even when the battery is inserted. But the laptop works fine in power mode.
Battery check indicates: "The primary battery was not detected. Check to assure the battery is properly inserted then restart the computer'.
Execution of this did not help.
Can anybody tell me whether battery life is over or loose connection in battery placement?

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.
