N580 Says Battery 80% Charged But Only Works if Plugged in

My IdeaPad N580 says the battery is 80% charged, but it won't work unless it's plugged in via the power supply.  How do I fix this?

make sure it's charged. If you're charging via USB and your computer make sure your comptuer doesn't go to sleep. Most computers cut power to their USB when they go to sleep.
If you charge it and it still won't work, contact Zagg. I've found them to have good customer service and they'll probalby exchange your device.

  • Battery or Charger? Only runs when plugged in.

    The machine only works when plugged in. When unplugged, it turns off and the time/date settings are lost. I don't know whether, or not, this is a battery issue or charger issue. Can the answer be told from this data, which I got from the machine? Thank you.

  • IPhone 4 replaced battery 100% charged, but shuts down unless plugged into wall charger

    Hi everyone,
    I've had my iPhone 4 (AT&T) for almost 2 years now so the battery life is rather terrible and I decided to replace the battery. I ordered a battery from PhonePartsUSA and followed the instructions on ifixit. I had some minor issues with the tiny contact piece, but once I wiped it down with ethanol, it was seemingly fine. When I plugged it in I saw the charging/lightening bolt icon in the upper right with an increasing percent. When it reached 100%, I unplugged it from my wall charger. The issue now is that after 1-2 minutes of use on battery (browsing internet on WiFi), my iPhone turns off by itself.
    Also, when I plug it in to my laptop via USB, iTunes does recognize it.
    I would like to self-repair, if possible, and was hoping someone here could point me in a direction (software, hardware, etc).
    Thanks in advance!

    Self repair or a competent 3rd party repair shop are your only options now. Apple won't touch it.
    ifixit is the best resource out there that I'm aware of for hardware teardowns and repairs of the iPhone. It is not considered user serviceable by Apple, and having opened it and replaced the battery yourself, it is no longer eligible either for battery replacement by Apple, or an out of warranty replacement.

  • I think something is wrong with my battery. Only works when plugged in.

    My battery says its fully charged but only works when I keep it plugged in. I was using it yesterday and it just shut off randomly and started this stuff. I have no idea what I should do. Help?
    It's a 2007 black MacBook if that makes a difference.

    You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

  • TA44551 Just recently my ipod nano's battery seemed to stop working? I plug it into a charger, the ipod says it's charged, but when I take it off the charger, the screen goes black. What's going on? How can I fix it?

    Just recently my ipod nano 4th generation's battery seems to be messed up? I plug it into the charger and the ipod says it's charged, but when I take it off the charger, the screen goes black. What is going on and how can I fix it? I'm really sad because it happened so suddenly.

    Yes.  The battery appears to be shot and in need of a replacement.  This can either be done by Apple or a third party repair company.

    Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?

    Good grief!  I had not plugged the USB jack all the way into the headphone port on the iPod.  Having taken that action, the iPod shuffle works great.  My bad, as they say.

  • 7th gen Nano only works when plugged in, turns off when  unplugged... battery is fully charged.

    7th gen Nano only works when plugged into computer, as soon as I unplug it shuts off (it was ejected from iTunes). Battery is fully charged.  Have already done a restore in iTunes and checked for updated software. 

    Hello there, DizDude.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some good recommendations for troubleshooting battery issues with the 7th generation iPod Nano:
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
    Particularly this section:
    Battery life appears short
    Learn how to conserve battery life.
    Ensure that the latest software is installed on the iPod.
    When charging, use the cable that came with iPod nano (7th generation) and leave the device connected until it is fully charged.
    Note: If you are charging using your computer, don't connect iPod nano (7th generation) to your keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod nano (7th generation) is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod nano (7th generation) battery may drain.
    When you are done using the iPod nano, verify that:
    The Radio application is off (tap the button)
    Music is paused (tap the button in the iPod application or disconnect the earphones)
    There is no active Pedometer session (tap the Stop button in the Fitness application)
    Dimming the screen is another way to extend battery life on iPod nano. Go to Settings > General > Brightness and restore the brightness to the default, or drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness.
    Playing tracks with EQ requires your iPod processor to consume more energy than playing tracks without EQ, because the EQ information is not encoded in the song. To prolong battery life, turn EQ off if you don't use it. Go to Settings > Music > EQ and select Off from the list. Note, however, that if you've added EQ to tracks in iTunes, you'll need to set EQ to Flat to have the effect of Off, because iPod keeps your iTunes settings intact.
    Try restoring iPod nano (7th generation) by connecting it to iTunes and clicking Restore.
    Test the battery life.
    Issue not resolved
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Both of my Shuffles seem charged but stop working after 20 seconds

    Shuffle not working but it is charged...help!

    One plays for 20 seconds and then does.
    Does what?  So (for that shuffle), after turning it off for at least 10 seconds, and then turning it back on, does it again play for 20 seconds before stopping?  I'm asking because I want to know if it still has battery power after it goes off.  If it has no power after the first 20 seconds, the battery may not be holding its charge.  If it still has power to do it again, then it's something else (probably not the battery).
    Me is 4the generation the other is 2nd.
    So, the one that does the above is 4th gen?
    The other says it is charged but never plays any music.
    And this "other" one is the 2nd gen?  You are not using the same docking cable used with the 4th gen, right?  Because the connector is different.  The USB cable for the 4th gen shuffle does not work with a 2nd gen shuffle.

  • Can't download find my friends from server. Any help ? Says try again later but never works.

    Can't download find my friends from server. Any help ? Says try again later but never works.

    I have the same issue. I restored an iPhone 4 for my 16 year old  niece. Only stipulation was she use Find My Friends. While I was getting the apps for the phone I was unable to download one of the most important features. It would be great if they allowed 2 versions or incorporated support for iOS 7.1.2. I'm sure I'm not the only one who decided to give up the $200 trade in offers to keep a perfectly good phone (looks new still from case use) in the family.

  • WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD??

    WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD ???

    How are you trying to charge it, via a computer or the wall plug ? If a computer, then a lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.
    If the wall charger then have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If that doesn't work then have you tried a different charger and/or cable ? Do you know anybody else with an iPad so that you can try their charger and cable and they can try yours ?
    And for info typing in capitals is considered SHOUTING.
