Plug icon on battery symbol while charging...also wont charge

instead of the lightning bolt while plugged in there is the shape of a plug and the percentage of battery power will not increase it just stays the same even though it is plugged in

If the percentage is between 95 and 100 that is normal. Frequent small top up charges are bad for the battery so it will not charge until it drops below 95%.

    Please find "System Information" in this folder path---Applications > Utilities---and launch it. When it opens, find "Power" in the left-hand contents pane and click it to get something like this in teh main pane:
    Copy everything in the "Battery Information" and copy/paste it here. The number values in that report may help us diagnose what is happening.
    Also, did you buy this battery directly from Apple or from another source. There are an increasing number of reports showing up that suggests some counterfeit batteries being sold.

    hi, i was trying to look for the "ENERGY MANAGER" but i couldn't find it. also i searched it by typing but it's not showing, do you thing it has been deleted when the 8.1 was installed?

    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.

  • Apple icon, sad face, and low battery symbol (not charging) what's going on

    my iPod U2 4th gen started acting up on me. it needed to be reset more and more often, until it decided to just stop working all together. it would show me the apple sign, sad face, and low battery symbols. bought and installed new battery, won't charge. it changes from apple icon to sad face back and forth on it's on when plugged into wall with firewire. goes from apple icon to sad face when connected to pc via USB. pc won't recognize it. please help! i've tried everything! is there something wrong with my hard drive? i'll pay anything to save the files on my hard drive. HELP!!!!!

    Hey man...I have the EXACT same Ipod with the EXACT same problem. I went to the apple store and they told me I had to wait 3 days to make an appointment with a "Mac Genius" to look at it and that with all the repairs done it would probably cost me $150. Frustrated, I went home and did some research and heres what I found:

    I kid you not. So basically I put the wall charger on, let it charge for 3 hours. Took it off the wall plug and then slapped the $#!t out of it 4 or five times. Then turned it on. Same sad face. Tried a combination of the reboot procedure and slapping around and now it works! Good luck and hope it works for you too!
    I feel like going to the apple store and slapping the crap out of "Mac Rip Ppl off Genius"

  • Lumia 820 / battery drain while charging

    I have the Lumia 820 with the Navigon navigation app installed.  I went on a trip this past weekend and noticed a strange battery drain while driving to my destination. The drive was a little over 2 hours and I was charging the phone the whole time. I figured I would test it on the drive home. I charged the phone completely before starting the drive home. I was camping so I had to use the lighter jack in the car which is always on and charged the phone from less then 10% to 100% overnight.  Again the drive was a little over 2 hours, had the Navigon app open and running the whole time and the phone was plugged into the lighter and the charging icon was registering a charge the whole time.  The only other thing running was cellular data. NFC, Bluetooth, Wifi, Nokia Drive, all off. When I arrived home the phone was at 45% and was very hot.
    I upgraded from the Samsung Focus and using the Navigon app in the same car never ever had less power when I  I ended a trip to when I started a trip.  I use the Navigon app all time so this is a real issue.  I am also going to post this on the Navigon website.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    I didn't have any problem with charging the phone, but I have another problem with the battery, I noticed that sometimes my battery started to drain so fast (I mean from 100 to 10 in less than 2 hrs!!!), even when I'm not using the phone! and when I pick the phone the area on the right hand side of the rear camera (which I believe the CPU located) is warm (it's not hot but warmer than rest of the phone). I managed my background tasks, etc. but didn't work. It seems that there is bug which sometimes the OS won't release (terminate) the processes (even after closing the app). I tried turn the phone on/off but didn't work until uninstalling the last application that just installed or opened. It happened 3-4 times and the last one was today when I opened my Nokia Music. At first I thought may be it's because of the 3G usage, but even after switching to the X-Box music to stream from my Micro-SD card the battery was draining fast.

  • MacBook Pro crashes when not plugged in.  Battery holds a charge, so I don't think that is the problem. Thoughts?

    2009 MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard crashes when operating on battery only.  Works fine when plugged in.  The battery holds a charge as indicated by the battery monitor in the menu bar and the green lights on the side.
    Is this a hardware issue/battery issue/software issue??
    Thanks!

    Hi s,
    Sounds like battery. Go to Apple menu > About This Mac > More Info > Hardware > Power and see what it says for batt condition and also cycles.

  • MBP shuts off when not plugged in (yet battery is fully charged)

    This is the 3rd time I've suffered from this problem.
    The problem lasts for about two days then seems to go away for a week or so.
    When I leave the MBP charging for a few hours, then disconnect the power, it almost immediately shuts off (no warning, no error, no sleeping).
    While disconnected, if I try and turn it on, I hear the boot sound, but then it shuts off again - the monitor never turns on.
    If I connect it back to the power it turns on and boots fine.
    My parents also have a brand new MBP, and I can avoid the problem by swapping batteries.
    I therefore think my battery is faulty.
    What else can I do to test the battery functions?
    Thanks,
    -Vijay

    This started happening to me a few wks ago. My MB Pro would just go blank and shut down for no reason, while using it unhooked from the power cord. I could restart it, but it would shut down within a few minutes. The battery showed 60 to 70 %. Looking up on this discussion, I found numerous others who have had this problem. I called Apple support, but could not get to a person, they work only 6AM to 6PM in the US. So, today, I took it in to the Genius Bar, here in San Jose, CA. His first reaction was, Oh, you do not have Applecare. I told him about the battery problem reports on this discussion. He feigned ignorance of the problem. Next minute, he turned to me and said he will replace the battery free of charge! My MB Pro is 17 months old, and I do not have Applecare. So, all you people with this 'sudden death syndrome' please go into the store, or call Apple and claim what is due.

  • My charger has been plugged in, but battery won't charge.

    I had my computer plugged in to charge before I left on a trip. When I arrived, I had no battery charge. I remember that the little light was always red when I thought it was charging. Then I couldn't get my computer to recognize when it was plugged in, I couldn't get the light to light green. It wouldn't charge. The plug in part has always sparked when it hits the source in the wall, and now the mag plug gets very hot. I tried every plug in the hotel, to no avail. Then I spent two days at a private residence, and it charged! Now, I'm back in a hotel and I can't find a plug that says my power source isn't plugged in when I was trying to update my iTunes.
    I am also having problems turning it off, and on.
    When I think I powered down, and then turn it on, it's been on the whole time. No chimes at start up, just motor running and screen eventually surfaces.
    I can't go to an Apple store, and I'm not on Apple Care (a huge mistake). Any suggestions?

  • Unusual Battery discharge while charging ?

    Yesterday , i had the ac adapter plugged in to my notebook (yes it was put in properly)
    but,the battery kept on discharging :/
    i noticed it just when i was going to power it off
    the battery sign up there said discharging , the battery level said (3% left),the battery sign was red
    I checked the socket etc ,everything was fine,
    i waited a minute,battery level was now 1.5 %
    thought i'd deal with it today,
    however ,today the battery seems fine
    its charging alright,(atm 15.7 %)
    any idea what would have caused this ?

    But, it seems that the battery will go from down from 100% even when plugged in(right now it says 72%...and will keep going down until I put it to sleep). Also, when the battery is not fully charged from being unplugged for awhile, it won't charge when the computer is on (green on magsafe light). This has only started happening last month or so and seems like very abnormal behavior.
    I've owned the mac for a little over 2 years, and it has always made faint noises, but the buzzing is new--it definitely doesn't sound like a fan. It only happens when the AC is plugged in.

  • Charger plugged in but battery is not charging but windows says it is charging.

    I have an HDX X18T-1100 CTO Premium Notebook 64bit with Vista Ultimate...I thought my battery was bad because when charger is plugged in the icon in system tray says" plugged in, charging" but it's not charging so I bought a new battery.  Same problem so I replaced the AC/DC plug in the computer....still the same problem... says batter at 7% (plugged in, charging) but it's not charging.  

    Hi,
    This could well be a Hardware problem with the charging circuitry, but it may be worth trying the following.
    First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute.
    Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the PC down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.  Windows will reinstall the missing driver soon after logon.  Leave it to idle for a few minutes, then restart again to see if this has helped the issue at all.

    Hi k_legaspi,
    Welcome to the BB Community...
    That shouldnt be a complex issue as i think...

  • HT1459 Unable to charge now that iPod Touch 1st gen unless I find the 'sweet spot'. Some times battery drains while charging. Help, please!

    I have a 1st gen iPod Touch and I am unable to charge unless I find the right spot when moving the connector head a bit. When I was able to charge, it would some times drain my battery. Now that it's completely dead, I can't find that right spot. Help??

    is there someway i can test this.
    Not that I know of.
    is the logic board responsible for calibrating the battery and charging ,
    It keeps track of the power and displays it in the upper right of screen.
    could it drain the battery say by not switching the drive off i use to remember when shutting down after you swipe the red bar it would give you an icon animation of what looked like a wheel spinning and then a faint whirr and clicking like the drive is shutting down .
    There is no moving drive. It's all solid state. What you were hearing is electronic sounds being generated from the logic board.
    i still get the the icon and animation but i dont hear the click or whirring anymore suggesting that the drive isnt shutting off which may cause the drain but not the battery indication .
    This even leads be to believe more that the problem is on the logic board.
    do you think its worth pursuing this ?
    If you could find a used logic board on eBay, it might be worth fixing, if you could get it cheap enough.

  • Battery symbol with red cross wont charge

    i had it on charge all night and have tryed 3 different chargers and 2 batterys and still nothing ?
    help ?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Given what you describe, I think you've done all of the diagnostics that you can...kudo's to you for having thought to try what you did! But, what it indicates is a hardware-level problem in the BB itself, somehow not communicating properly with the battery. For this, only a qualified service technician with the BB in their hands can diagnose any further...and that can't be done at an internet-distance.
    If your BB is still under warranty, then take it in for evaluation. Your warranty service provider is whoever you bought the BB from -- your mobile network provider or your authorized reseller would be who you go talk to next.
    If your BB is out of warranty, then you can talk to those same folks about other options.
    Good luck!
