Pavillion dv5 1235dx won't charge.

I just installed windows 7 on the hard drive after a full wipe, now that the software is up and running the LED for the power adapter will no longer show that the battery is charging and even if the laptop is off it still refuses to charge. I was going to run the BIOS flash to see if that would solve the problem but it says to do it with external power connected and I'm afraid to do it under battery power.
This is NOT the first time it has happened, the first time it stopped I had it checked under warranty and HP replaced the hard drive for what seemed like no reason at all.
Also, there have been intermittent cases where the laptop has refused to charge and unplugging it from it's current outlet and into a different one has solved the problem, but this time it doesn't seem to be doing the trick.
Any ideas.
Cheers/

Hi,
First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter unplugged, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute.
Now, plug in the AC Adapter and see if the notebook will start without the battery inserted, if it does, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and theMicrosoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and selectUninstall - do not uninstall anything else here. When the uninstall is complete, shut the PC down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery and then start the notebook on just the battery. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - leave Windows running for a few minutes without doing anything. Then shutdown the notebook again. Plug the AC Adapter back in and Start the notebook to see if this has helped the issue.
Best wishes,
DP-K

HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx laptop - No audio from built in speakers of recently purchased laptop

I purchased my laptop (HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx laptop) from best buy on Saturday, May 9th, less then a week ago. Yesterday the audio/sound stopped working completely - from the built-in speakers. I can hear ALL sound just fine from headphones. Only the internal speakers aren't funcioning. I did online troubleshooting, and also chatted with a technician, and I still have the same problem. I ran all updates, the status on the sound driver says it is funcioning properly. Even the little fluctuating green bars (on the volume control) SHOW that sound is coming out, but still unless I have headphones in, no sound comes out. The HP monitering software DID pop up and say there were critical errors and the computer needed to be updated yesterday, but I don't know if that was related because once I did all the updates, the audio still had the same problem. Please help me out.
Thanks,
Kalli

If it is less then a week, just return it to bestbuy. You may have a loose connection in speaker jack.
Have you try to use recovery DVD? try to install it to the factory setting.
If it does not work, definitely you have a hardware problem.

My Pavillion dv7-3048CA won't charge

I bought my dv7 back in December 2009 and it has been running smoothly up until now. Whenever I connect the adapter to the laptop (battery put in) it will charge, but once I unplug the adapter and leave the laptop running on battery power, it no longer charges the battery when I plug the adapter back into the laptop.
This happens every time and whenever my laptop is close to draining out, I always have to do a power-drain where I unplug everything from the laptop (USBs, battery, adapter) and shut down the computer. I then hold down the power button for several seconds to drain the power before starting it back up with the adapter (no battery). I always have to do this whenever I unplug my laptop from the adapter and let it run on its battery. It's getting really irritating and I don't know what to do.
Help, please!

Try another AC adpater if you can.

Bios recovery for HP dv5-1235dx/Vista (64-bit) crashed during update

My HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx which ran windows vista (64-bit) crashed while updating bios (after my old bios was deleted). I have tried the start+b+power trick to recover but that option did not work. HP Support suggests to create a usb key to install bios, however I have repeatedly failed in recovering/installing bios because the instructions are very limited. They mention a "create a usb key" option that I have yet to find that would make the key. After using the HP UEFI BIOS Update SoftPAQ and extracting files from the bios .exe file, I found the following:
1 folder (sp45138) with contents below
3602F21.fd
3603F21.fd
ding (wave sound)
InsydeFlash (application)
InsydeFlash (text document)
iscflash.dll
iscflash.sys
iscflashx64.sys
platform (configuration settings)
So, my questions are as follows:
Where is the mystery "create a usb key" button?
What files should I have installed on my usb drive?
Does anything have to be renamed or formatted?
Thanks for any help given!

Hello Ceelion21. I understand you're trying to recover your computer from a failed BIOS flash.
I see this question get asked a lot so I have made sure to bookmark the instructions which I found on another website. Here is a link.
You should be able to download the BIOS file from HP Support. I believe you'll need to use an application such as 7-Zip to extract the BIOS file and locate the *.FD file.
If this doesn't work you'll likely need to have the notebook repaired. If you'd like to inquire about a repair through HP Support and are in the US/Canada you can give them a call at 1-800-474-6836. If you're in another part of the world you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to get your region's contact information.
Let me know the result of the BIOS recovery. I hope you have an excellent night!

Hp dv5-1235dx not powering on

Hello all form the Caribbean! I have a problem that I haven't been able to solve, I hope that someone can assist me in solving this problem.
I have a Hp dv5-1235dx that was working fine until the battery failed. I got a new battery for the laptop and it started to work great once more. Then the charger failed and I replaced that also. Up to two months ago my laptop was working great and then my wife was watching a DVD and the screen froze. Disconnected the battery and powercord because the powerbutton wasn't responding to me tring to switch off the system. Tried to power it up and the led on the power chord port was slowly flashing once, pause, once, pause constantly. Saw in a forum that it was the power chord/addapter so I replaced that once more. Now the laptop isn't coming on no matter what.
Took out the battery to see if it will start with the power chord only. Nothing.
Thanks in advance. I really need to solve this issue. Thanks!
Jesus Loui Pereira

Thank you for answering me CherylG.
I tried that process but it still doesn't come on.
The led on the power chord input has started to flash once more.
Thank you for the answer, hope someone can help me solve this soon. Using my sisters laptop. No fun

IPhone 5 connected but won't charge

So i have a iPhone 5 that connects when I plug in the lighting cable but it won't charge sometimes. I already cleaned out the port on the phone with a dry toothbrush, please help. I've tried a lot of things and if there isn't a solution i'll just buy another battery.

Hi there jesseeb123,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below if you are unable to charge your device.

My 4th gen iPod Touch won't charge

Hi, folks:
Suddenly, my 4th generation iPod Touch won't charge. I don't mean it won't hold a charge; I mean it WON'T charge. There's no (peep!) when I attach it to a Mac, a Windows box, or to the wall. I've tried not only at my place but at my doctor's office, too, on his computer. Rats.
It fell three feet onto a concrete floor a week before this happened, so I'm unsure of cause/effect there. However, chances are most excellent that I touched it while filled with static electicity (my bed is exceedingly staticky). Maybe I touched the charging port? I have no idea, but I kinda sorta have a memory of having gotten a shock while touching my pod and wondering whether that was bad.
It'll be a couple more days before I can get to a Genius Bar (but thank cow I'm in New York City and have my pick of them!). In the meantime, can anyone calm me down about my situation? Do you imagine it's doomed (it IS still operable provided I keep it plugged in, though iTunes can't see it since it won't mount), or do you spose the installation of a new battery might bring my precious baby back to me? It IS freshly backed up (again, thank cow!), but I'm not in a position to buy a new one right now, and unfortunately, I don't know what to do with my eyeballs without a Touch in front of them.
Oh, how I hope someone can tell me that this has happened to him, and an Apple Genius merely did something magical and handed it back intact and amazing again so Ican cry happy tears. It's been four days and I'm just sick without it (and having to look at this gigantic Mac, with its large and beautiful text in many windows, means I can't RECLINE! WAAAAH!).
Thanks for any soothing words you have, and if you have sad ones, well, I'll vag up and read them, as I've prepared for the worst anyway (sob!). Just please deliver them gently.
I appreciate it!

Wow, Kevin; that's a tantalizing theory! I don't like it (I *never* like to think about logic board damage for any piece of hardware), but it's tantalizing, as it would explain my pod seemingly charging out of thin air, and it'd also explain why my pod doesn't just DIE altogether from a dead battery.
I feel like an idiot: I have iTunes set to never sync automatically with my pod, so it never automatically recognizes the pod. I'll bet I could sync it if I clicked to "apply," as I've been downloading new apps since 2/21 (the last time I backed the pod up, mere minutes before it failed), but I don't want to risk not having a connection that's 100% and bollixing up what's on the pod now. (I'll be in the hospital for a day and will need something to read the whole time; I'll need an intact pod!)
Thanks for sticking with me, Kevin; I always like figgering things out, and your theory's interesting. I'll mention it to the Genius. It doesn't give me any hope, but not having any hope, I can always be pleasantly surprised, whereas if I go in all hopeful, someone can dash my dreams. This way, I'll prolly just have my expectations met.
I appreciate your talking it out with me a lot!

My iphone 5 won't charge :(

My iphone 5 won't charge with the cable I bought, I don't know if its because maybe it isn't an apple product? Can somone please help me! thank you

If you did buy a 3rd party product, that could be a reason. Can you check with an original Apple USB cable?

My Iphone 5 won't charge while turned on.

My iphone 5 won't charge at all while turned on. I have to turn off my phone in order to charge it. I can't really use my phone now because of the iPhone 5 battery life. I need help!

You are going to have t take that to the apple store . Make a Genius Bar appointment and they will help you. Most likely they will give you a new phone. Hope this helps

My iphone 5 won't charge anymore

my iphone 5 won't charge anymore

Hello Angelpz11,
I recommend this from our iPhone: Hardware Troubleshooting article found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802:
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.

Macbook won't turn on, won't charge either (no green/amber light)

So I was cleaning my keyboard today (just with water and a towel) and after cleaning, the screen shut off but my macbook was still turned on (could hear the fans). It wouldn't respond to anything and I tried a hard shut down but this did not work either. I was forced to take the battery out to shut it down.
Now it won't turn on. I tried plugging it into my magsafe power adapter but it won't charge. There is no light (neither green or amber). My battery still has 2 green dots when I test it.
I've tried resetting the power settings by removing the charger, battery, and then holding the power down for 5 seconds. This did not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've had a very similar problem. My battery died about nine months ago and I've been going off AC since then. It recently started not turning on though.. I closed the lid one day and went for a walk and when I came back about an hour later it was like it was in a constant sleep mode. Since then it turned on once successfully. But I am getting the same dim green light for about three seconds and then it goes full. When I try to turn it on the fan or hard drive (not sure) starts spinning and the screen flashes but then it just sits with the sleep light on. When I read your thread though I realized I may have gotten it wet when carrying it to and from my car. I no longer have a warranty or care plan or whatever so apple won't help me one bit. SO yeah I thought I'd share that and maybe it can help you somehow..

IPhone 4 battery dies quickly, won't charge properly and is very hot!

Hi, my iPhone 4 won't charge properly and the battery drains really fast plus the handset is very hot. Does it need a new battery?
It just suddenly started happening yesterday before lunch and hasn't been right since! I haven't done any software updates or anything that could cause it. I e tried deleting my mail accounts, turning phone off and re installing them as suggested in one post but that didn't work!
Thanks

Downloaded new iOS for iPhone 5. Now the handset is running hot, keeps freezing on different screens, won't charge on official charger ( only charges on crap poundland one) and battery is loosing 1% every two minutes! I've closed all apps and reset the complete phone but no luck. Any one know what else I can try apart from a new phone?

I have done a factory reset at 45% battery. After the reset it's still hot and at 35% now
