Orange LED while plugged in, but charging?

Hi. When my shuffle is plugged into my computer, and iTunes isn't open, there is an orange LED lit up above the control buttons, which, according to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300657 means it is charging. And when I do open iTunes, I can add/remove songs, edit settings, and do everything normally. But as soon as I eject/remove my shuffle, even after it has been 'charging' for a long time, it's as if it has no battery. No light comes on in the battery indicator, and no controls work. So does this mean my battery is totally shot, and I have to give Apple some more money because my shuffle broke?
Thanks

No, lol, it doesn't play! It absolutely doesn't turn on, play, or do anything once disconnected from the computer.
When it's connected, I assume power from the USB port goes straight to the components, so it's active, and it lets me add songs, change settings, do all that stuff fine. And all that works. But even after leaving the shuffle connected for hours, both on my laptop and a friend's laptop (during a different trial run), and then taking it out...it's as if it has absolutely no charge. It's like it thinks it is charging when in the computer, but no charge is actually being stored.

Macbook Pro shuts off multiple times per day while plugged in to charger, won't restart until charger is unplugged?

Hi,
I have a 15" Macbook Pro 2.4GHz running OS X 10.6.8.
I have a brand new (4 week old) battery and brand new charger (Battery was replaced because the OEM battery swelled up and started to split open, which also happened on my prior two Macbook Pro 17").
I leave the laptop on 24/7, while plugged into the charger. Every single day, the laptop shuts down without notice, while I'm not using it, and with nothing running, except Google Chrome on occasion. When I return to use the laptop, it will not turn on with any kep press or by pushing the power button, but the MOMENT you unplug the charger from the side, it turn on instantly, WITHOUT using the power button.
The battery works flawlessly, holds a charge and lasts a long time, and then recharges as normal, so it doesn't appear to be the battery; and the charger obviously works because it's keeping the battery charged every day 24/7...so why is my laptop shutting off EVERY single day, twice a day or more? It's nothing in my energy saving settings, nor is it a software error. I have also reset the PRAM which did nothing.

HP 431 NOTEBOOK PC works while plugged in but is not charging ((pluggedin, not charging)

My HP Notebook PC works great while it is plugged in to the AC outlet. The light near the DC power plug on the laptop is lite up as normal. The problem is when I put the cursor near the battery indicator I get the error message "plugged in, not charging". I took the battery out and put it back and nothing changed. I left my notebook plugged in to the AC outlet overnight(8 hours) and the battery percentage is still at 32 percent.

Is the notebook still in warranty? Check your warranty status Here.
If you can use the notebook without the battery and the power led lights up, that means that the power adapter is OK. If you have had the notebook more than one year then chances are that the battery is failing. You can test it by using a bootable Live Linux Ubuntu to see if the battery charges with the other operating system.

This setting is designed to help conserve the health of your battery if you tend to use your laptop while plugged in. It's not good for the battery to be held at 100% for long periods of time, so instead this setting stops chargins when the battery reaches 60% to prevent battery damage.

Lenovo G50 NOT plugged in, but 'charging'.

I just bought a new Lenovo G50 about a month ago. The only strange problem I have picked up in the last 2 weeks, is that even when my notebook is NOT plugged into the charger, it still indicates that it is charging from an incompatible power source. Where my previous notebook, warned me on 10% battery left, my new Lenovo does not, because it is under the impression that it is 'Charging'.
The battery life is not really affected and when plugged in, it charges the battery normally.
Can anyone help me with a solution, before I take it back to my supplier. I know simple fixes like this can take up to WEEKS if I have to take it in.
Thank you in advanced.

hi dentonbronkhors,

Open Device Manager and look Under Batteries, Right click and uninstall the item Named Microsoft SCPI compliant control method battery.
Shut the computer down instead of doing a restart like the computer ask.
Now Remove the Battery and Unplug the Ac adapter, Hold the poer button down for at least 10 sec.
Turn the computer back on and See if that resolves the issue.

TS2830 Transfer songs onto Music listfor nano, comes up with sync error 13019 still appears to have transferred to music list on nano while plugged in but when you search on the unplugged ipod not there.

No, I can't use a charger - I need to recharge the iPod off the computer. (I'm often charging it while traveling with no access to a wall plug).
What you describe in your situation is completely different from what I'm talking about: You have iTunes on and you are syncing the iPod, and then you eject it from within iTunes. What I'm talking about is NEVER having iTunes on, and just plugging the iPod into the USB port and just recharging it, nothing else.
My goal: I want to be able to plug in, recharge, and unplug the iPod without ever touching the mouse or the keyboard or interacting with the computer at all.
I 100% know this is possible because that is the setup I've had for months, and it worked fine. But when I recently updated to iPod software version 1.2, some setting was changed and I can't figure out what. I know it is very simple, the solution, but I've forgotten how I did it in the first place.

GPS runs down battery while plugged into car charger

Hello,
I have a Fascinate with the 2.2.1 and the Samsung car charger. When I run Google Navigation or Bing Map while the phone is plugged into the car charger, the phone battery drains and does not charge until I exit navigation. If I walk out to the car with a full battery and plug it in, the icon will indicate charging while I am driving to my destination but when I arrive and unplug the phone after about an hour's drive time, the battery immediately shows red and the phone shuts itself off. The phone will charge normally when plugged into the car charger but only if navigation is turned off.
I don't know if it does this also with the VZW navigation app, I don't use it.
There are no other apps running other than the pre-installed bloatware. Wifi and Bluetooth are turned off.
The phone does this with two different Samsung chargers and also a generic charger. There is only about 6 months on the battery. It did the same thing before the last system update (I first thought I had a bad charger, which is how I ended up with two).
Anyone else?

Hi Andynator,
Thank you for your posting, it includes some great information. I can assist you with the issue you are having. I would like to ask if you find that this happens only when running maps and using the car charger?
I have checked my references here and I am not showing that this is a known issue with the Fascinate. Since you mentioned that this was occurring before the update and is still occurring after the update, this tells me that the root cause of the issue may be with the device itself.
You may very well have already called in, since posting your message. However, if you have not and are still having the issue, please feel free to send me a PM with your contact information, as well as the mobile number. I will be more than happy to contact you personally in order to troubleshoot and address the issue further for you.
Thank you again for your posting and have a good day!

Battery losing charge while plugged up to charger

In the past few days, I have had a new problem arise with my Droid Incredible 2. I have had my phone for about 8 months. In the past few nights, I have plugged up my phone as I have done for the past 8 months. The phone typically has about 40-50% charge remaining when I plug the phone in to the wall. When I plug the phone in, I make sure the battery icon shows it as charging. (FYI: Typically the battery icon changes to have a lightning bolt inside of it and it fills from right to left over and over again until it reaches a full charge.) After confirming the phone is charging, I fall asleep. When I have woken up the past few mornings, my phone has been powered down, and the battery charge indicator light is not on. I can unplug the charger and plug it back in and the battery indicator light will turn on. I have to allow the phone to sit for a minute before it will finally power on when I push the power button. Once the power is on, the battery icon does not show as charging, and I get a message that the battery is too low and I need to run on AC power. After about an hour of leaving the phone connected to the charger, the battery icon changes to the typical charging icon as described above. I have pulled up the battery status and history (which is a factory installed phone application). If you have a Droid Incredible 2, look under Settings > About Phone > Battery > Battery Use. The battery use screen has a chart that shows the % battery life remaining on the y-axis with time on the x-axis. It also shows a summary of the main processes running on your phone. On nights when I have had this problem occur with my phone, the chart has looked like the one in the picture attached. Notice, the phone shows it was charging at the bottom of the screen, but the battery life remaining in the chart is crashing to 0%. Where the battery life begins to increase again is when the phone suddenly decided to start charging again. After showing this chart to a Verizon employee, and telling them my story, the employee went on to say that it looked like it could possibly be the battery. They performed a battery test. (FYI: A battery test at my local Verizon store consists of powering my phone off, and fully charging the phone then calling a special number that would supposedly pull the battery power down a certain amount after a certain amount of time.) Unfortunately the battery test showed that the battery was good because it charged normally, and it depleted normally when the phone call was made. No quantitative measurements were taken to determine if the battery was good or bad. Even though the Verizon employee agreed that it may be my battery from looking at the chart attached, he said they could not replace my battery under their warranty because their policy did not allow them to replace the battery unless it tested bad in their test. The employee eventually suggested that I should uninstall some apps (which have been on my phone for a long time) because they might be causing the problem. Does anyone have any advice on what the problem could be? Does anyone know who I could contact at Verizon to discuss a policy change? If a phone has a factory installed application that can monitor battery power, then the phone supplier should be able to use that information to determine if the battery is good or bad. Otherwise there is no point in having that feature on the phone. Someone please give me some help!

Lena-It seems this is happening quite a bit. My phone has been acting the same way for about 2 wks now. I went to the Verizon store & they were little help. They suggested I contact Assurian (insurance) about a replacement phone. I tried a different USB cable & wall charger (sold by verizon) which works intermittently. I am currently signed onto the Assurian website about to order the replacement phone & pay the shocking $99 deductible...when it looks as though is is a very widespread problem.
I have found other forum entries noting overheating of the battery & I haven't yet looked for anything about my phone not syncing when hooked up to my computer. There is something clearly wrong with these phones & we should not be responsible for paying a deductible!!
Do you know of what other channels can be taken to resolve this issue? This is beginning to look like a product liability issue...

My ipod has been acting weird like it has been shutting off while plugged in the charging noise and animation have not been playing and it isn't being recognized by any computer even after 3 different cables how do I fix this?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

While plugged into the charger verizon stated i used 14 g of data, how can i find out how?

HOW CAN I FIND OUT HOW MY ACCOUNT WAS BILLED 14 GB OVERAGE AND MOST OF IT WAS IN 24 HOURS?

it sure sounds like the battery is defect

Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off but the system can detect the charger when it was switched on.

Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch 2014 model stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off so the system can not be started but the system can detect the charger when earlier it was switched on before draining off the charge. Charger type magsafe 60W.

Once you have examined the power inlet on the computer for dirt, and made certain that the pins on the end of the MagSafe cord are free to move in and out to make contact, there is very little you can do yourself.
You will need to visit your Apple Store (FREE with appointment) or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider (policy varies). They work on these all the time and have good expertise and lots of spare parts to try to determine the problem.

Seems like battery is faulty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Hello Everyone,
This is my first time using the forum. My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What should my next steps be, besides trying a new charger as well as being the most cost effective?
Thanks

Hi ..
The battery may need replacing.

Xperia Z2 orange blinking led when connected to magnetic charge cord

Hey guys. I bought this phone off a friend. Its three months old and works great. But the other night I accidentally put the magnetic port on backwards and the phone completely died. I freaked out and tried every key combination possible. I eventually got a red led when I plugged in the microusb port. It turned on in about 10 minutes like normal.
Now, when ever I attach the magnetic cord (properly) I get an orange led blinking and the device doesn't charge at all.
What does the blinking orange led mean? Does warranty cover the magnetic port? Hopefully someone can help me
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello everyone. I've was having issues with the magnetic charge port on my Z2. It simply did not want to charge the device. It also was heating up when it was charging through USB. Sometimes it wouldn't even charge!
I was trying to get away with living with it until one day the phone turned off and never started back up for about a day.
At this point I knew there was no other choice but to request an RMA to get these issues addressed.
When I phoned in to tell them my issues, I told them specifically "THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE MAGNETIC PORT", "THE PHONE REFUSES TO CHARGE SOMETIMES" and "THE PHONE HEATS UP WHEN CHARGING".
The rep on the other end told me several times he understands the problem and they will all be addressed when it arrives at the repair facility.
So, I packaged the phone up and sent it off to Ontario (shipping cost me $40) and thought that once it comes back it'll work like it should.
This is where I have never been more wrong.
I got the phone back today and opened it up as soon as I could.
First thing I did was try to turn it on. Absolutely nothing. No light, no low battery screen, nothing.
So when I arrived home I plugged the thing into an AC USB charger. The first 10 minutes there was only a red LED and nothing else.
After 10 minutes I was able to see the green battery on the screen.
Another 5 minutes later, I was actually able to power up the phone. It was sitting at 2%.
Which makes me believe that the phone was either left on or COMPLETELY discharged before shipping. Don't these people at the repair facilities know how damaging it is for a battery to be comepletely discharged???
The second and most outrageous thing is the main reason the phone was sent it, wasn't even fixed!!!
I tried plugging into the magnetic port charger (with an aftermarket cord, as well as the dock) and the phone is doing EXACTLY the same thing!!!
In fact, this is an exact quote of what the work order says:
"PHONE IS CHARGING AND IS WORKING GOOD. PLEASE SEND IN USB CABLE AND CHARGER IF PROBLEM P-" <- They didn't even finish the sentence.
"Software Upgrade, Live Call Passed, Quality Control Passed"
I am so totally outraged and disgusted with Sony right now.
