  • Ibook does not charge, help

    Hello
    I have a ibook G4 that I use a lot but since yesterday it doesn't charge anymore. When I plug it in, the green\orange light is on for a second or two and then it stops. My battery is dead now and I can't use my computer. I tried another charger that a friend gave me but it does the same. Can someone help, please I am desperate.
    Thank you

    Hey Dustin,
    You could try a few other things:
    go to terminal and type in:
    ioreg -l -w 0 | grep Capacity
    You'll get a readout of the battery state and capacity.
    or
    down load Battery Health Monitor from here:
    http://www.sonoragraphics.com/software.html
    much easier than all that weird typing.
    Get a known good battery from someone and try that in your iBook and at the same time try your battery in their iBook.
    Try a deep reset of your PMU: pull the battery, AC adapter, push the power button a few times and walk away from it at least overnight. Come back after like 10 hours and see what's going on with it.

  • Lenovo G550 does not charge battery!!!! please help!!!!! :c

    So i havent used my Lenovo for about a year and a half because i had lost the originial charger. ive recently bought a new cheap charger from amazon and thought it was the charger that was the problem when i looked it up online and found out it may be a bug from Windows 7. Now, this charger does turn on my laptop, but it does not charge it. It simply says "plugged in, not charging" and when i was reading an article on how to fix this , i was trying for hours to uninstall a program under device management called Microsoft ACPI- Compliant Conntrol Method Battery, because it was said that uninstalling this would help the system charge again. but after countless hours, i found that the program reinstalls itself and i am left with a laptop that just wont charge. my laptop says 0% (plugged in, not charging) and i really need this to work for the upcoming school year. i dont know what else to do! whenever i disconnect the wire the system completely shuts down and if i dont fix this problem ill just have to get rid of my Lenovo G550, which i absolutely LOVE! please, anyone help me! do i need to install a new version of windows? do i need to uninstall something? or is my laptop absolutely done for?
    please, please, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hi Chernandez51,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    From your observation, it seems like the battery was fully discharged after not being for a long time (batteries degrade overtime due to age, heat, and usage).
    What you can try is to charge the battery for an hour or two while the computer is off then observe the status light indicators.
     - Link to picture
    If the battery still doesn't take a charge then the battery might have gone faulty and needs a replacement.
    For best compatibility, I recommend you use a Lenovo approved AC adapter and charger. You can buy one from the lenovo spare parts website (www.lenovospareparts.com) or you can buy online (eg. Amazon, Ebay, etc.) but ensure that there's a Lenovo FRU part number on the item..

  • MBA battery does not charge when connected. Help!

    My MBA battery does not charge when connected to the charger. Ive checked the other threads and followed advice but nothing seems to help.. My battery health info is good, I've tried cleaning the magnetic pins of the charger, reset smc but it still does not charge. The light on the charger is green or does not come on sometimes, and it's the same for a few Power outlets. What else can I do? Would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks.

    It recognizes the charger intermittently. After cleaning, it showed the charger as connected but not charging the battery. I will try my friends charger later to see if it works. Thanks for your help!

  • Help battery does not charge

    My iPhone does not charge unless I turn it off what i do ?

    I would try a different charger to make sure there isn't a problem with the charger causing it to only work when the iPhone is powered down.
    If that does not help, then a visit to the Apple store genius bar would be a good idea to have the techs test the iPhone to see why it is not charging normally.  If you do that, make a backup of the contents, best to do that in iCloud, so if the decision is to replace the iPhone you can restore your content.  If it is backed up in iCloud, the Apple techs can restore while you wait.

    Did you get a charger with the iPad 3?
    Could be the charger or cable. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    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. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • HT1476 Dear all, I have a problem with charging. When i intend to charge my phone while its on, it does not charge. However, If i were to switch it off and put for charge, it charges. How do i fix this?Help.

    Dear all, I have a problem with charging. When i intend to charge my phone while its on, it does not charge. However, If i were to switch it off and put for charge, it charges. How do i fix this?Help.

    First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

    Apple recommends backing up the data when you're getting the battery replaced by them. So I assume that you will likely lose the data during this process.
    Will the data on my iPhone be preserved?
    No, during the service process all data on your iPhone will be erased. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPhone and does not offer any data transfer service. During service, Apple may exchange your iPhone with an iPhone that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.
    Following service, your iPhone may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need torestore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

  • Ipod nano does not charge

    hi, i am having problems with my ipod nano first generation, it started when i backdated my ipod as i could not connect it to my powerbook and i could not install the latest edition of itunes, but now i have installed the latest edition of ituens and i have updated my ipod as well but it still does not charge, i have tried to plug the usb into a socket and plug it into the wall and it charges for a bit but then it just displays the screen and stops chrging, sometimes it displays the battery on its own, sometimes it makes a buzzing sound and sometimes charges but while charging it says that i do not have anymore battery power, could someone please help it would be much appreciated!!!! thank you!!

    I'm having the same problem, my ipodnano is about a year old and I can't figure out what to do. I just installed the new itunes on my new laptop with vista premium. I'm desperate for a resolution, do you have any suggestions at all. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

  • Satellite P300 does not charge

    Hello there.
    I have Toshiba Satellite P300. It's nearly 4 years old.
    However, 3 months ago it has started not to charge battery. I removed battery and left computer only with adaptor.
    Now it does not charge at one, i have to wait until electricity or smth will reach some level to start computer.
    So, please, help if anybody has had some alike problem or knows the reason and what to do.
    Maybe its adaptor problem, or something wrong with connection between adaptor and pc. I don't know and have no money yet to check it.
    Does anybody know what's wrong? Thanks.

    Hi
    Such issues can be related to different reasons;
    - AC adaptor issue
    - Motherboard issue (Im thinking especially about power supply electronic issue)
    But I dont think it could be an AC adaptor malfunction because the notebook can power up after a specific power level has been reached or the notebook can boot up after a longer time being connected to AC adaptor. Is it right?
    Well, it sounds like an mobo issue but this is just an suggestion
    The parts should be checked firstly before replacing

  • 12 volt plug charger does not charge battery

    the green light on computer connector is on, the computer shows the icon that is connected to external power, but the battery dies. It works fine on wall outlet. This was first time I used plug. All seems fine but it does not charge the battery.
    Apple is good at selling computers, but I just spent over an hour to get an answer for this and this is the best i found so far. We is the product support?
    Please, someone helps.

    Apple does not make a 12 V power adapter (i.e. car power adapter) for the MBP. What type of power adapter are you using?
    If you are using the MagSafe Airline Adapter, which comes with the larger 'cigarette-lighter-style" adapter that +looks like+ it will work in a car power port, be aware that the MagSafe Airline Adapter _does not_ work for 12 V power from an auto - it explicitly states that in the product description.
    If you are using an inverter, what are the power specifications for the inverter? Can it deliver the 85 W of power the MBP power adapter requires?

  • HP Pavilion dv6500 does not charge battery

    Hi -
    When I plug the power cord into my laptop, the battery either does not charge, or charges on and off for about a second each time. 
    I am 100% sure it is not the power cord, because a light in port on the laptop lights up even when the battery is out, leading me to believe that power is definitely getting to the laptop, but something inside the laptop is disconnected or else the outlet where I plug the cord into the computer is bent or something. 
    I cannot turn on the computer with the battery out and the power cord plugged in.  It might turn on for a few seconds then turn off. 
    Taking out the battery and putting it back in does not help.
    Jostling the plug rarely helps, and the most that happens is the charging light flashes on and off.
    It is no longer under warranty (I have had the laptop for about 2 1/2 years).
    I heard from a friend that HP laptops sometimes have this problem.  Does anyone know how I can fix it???  I would rather not send it to HP for maintenance.  It would take waaay too long.  And I'm already mad that they (purposefully?) engineered the laptop so the fan is nearly impossible to get to, even though the fan clogging up is the first problem on any laptop.  It is my only computer and it is extremely important that I am able to use it for school.
    Any insight would be VERY helpful.  Thanks!

    I have the exatcly same problem. I am sure that it is neither battary or AC adapter as I have bought both new to fix this issue but problem remains same.
    It gives me a impression that within the laptop (mother board or power connector) has the issues which does not give the power to the laptop to work , nor it gives to battary to charge.
    Let me mention that when I bought a new battary, my laptop worked for 4-5 hours till the charge ran out from the battary and now again I am landed up to the same problem.
    any body who has come across this problem and got it fixed , it will be really great if you can share your experience.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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?

  • Battery does not charge after rescue & recovery

    Hi,
    Yesterday I set up my computer fresh from the preload on the harddrive due to slowness, instabilities, inability to use VPN etc. After the reinstallation of OS and securiy updates, my battery does not charge anymore. The battery indicator on the front panel keeps blinking, and the Lenovo message center reports that irrepairable damage has been done to the battery and that it must be replaced.
    My battery is not among the recalls by Lenovo.
    Any idea if there's any option but buying a new battery? It just does not seem right that the battery is unusable after new OS setup.
    Cheers, Thorbjorn
