Power charging problem

hii guys
need help my laptop when pluggin dan charging always discharge when running program but when it turn off or idle normal charging any solution? hardware or software problem?
many thanks

Welcome to the forum.
1. What is the model number of your notebook? (See How to find a product number or machine type and model?)
2. What is the wattage of your AC charger? Look at the sticker for something like 20VDC 4.5A or 20VDC 3.25A. The first indicates a 90W charger and the second indicates 65W. It is possible that your system requires 90W but your charger supplies only 65W.
3. Did this problem start recently?

  • IBook G3 Power/charge problem

    I have a ibook G3. It doesn't charge properly (taking two days to charge to 6% which drains in minutes when turned on)
    I have reset the PMU with the little button on the side. I have also tried plugging in the power adaptor with and without the battery in place to see if I can use it that way but it makes no difference. I can see it recognises that a charger is plugged in (I've bought a new charger/adaptor thinking that may have been the problem but it makes no difference)it is just not utilising the power. What can I do?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You may need to replace the battery.

    Have the same issue -- Any luck finding information?
    HP support claims they have not seen this problem before. 
    Looking at the internet -- That is clearly impossible.
    Probably voltage regulation chip -- But I did not see anything that wasn't surface mount to replace.

  • Need Help..... power Charge Problem

    My Ipad Mini Have Away Charge 80%-90% only Singe I Buy From The Shop......Why...

    Not entirely sure what you mean, but if it's not charging above 80 or 90% then have you tried a reset to see if it charges (and/or the indicator updates) 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.

  • Hi, I'm having a macbook pro here and it spoiled after a year of using, i though it was the power adapter problem because when i try to charge my mac battery that is depleted it shows a very dim light and my mac won't start up

    Hi, I'm a macbook pro user but recently my macbook just spoiled, i though was my power adapter problem because when i charge my mac battery that is depleted, it shows a very dim light and my mac just won't start up, even i bought a brand new 80 euro power adapter it still give out the same result.

    when I switch it on, the little led  light it up and u can hear the fun running and after 5 to 10 seconds switched off again /  ive got all my recordings in there
    Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    in really disappointed with apple,
    Serge... you are aware that you are responsible for backing up your importanta data correct ?

  • Macbook Pro 13 (Early 2011) Charging Problems

    Recently I noticed that when I charge my macbook pro, the LED light on the magsafe would go green then orange to show that it is charging. However after a few minutes or seconds the orange LED light will go off (Stops Charging) and the whole process of charging starts again, green light then orange then nothing...
    I already tried resetting the PRAM and SMU. I also tried using different wall sockets for charging and it yielded the same results. However, when i borrowed my friends mac charger, my MBP manage to charge without any problems. When he used my charger the charging problem also occurred.
    So i decided to bring it to an Apple Authorized service provider sine they are no Apple Retail Stores in Thailand. I told the guy at the AASP that my charger was probably broken/faulty, but he said it was the receiver sensor of the macbook pro (The place where i connect the magsafe to my MBP ). He used a different charger (At the counter)and the LED lights when from Green, Orange then yellow and said the MBP needed to be sent to Singapore to be repaired and it would take 10 - 14 days. I said OK since my MBP was still in warranty and it would be free. Next day he called and said he fixed it by resetting something and that I could pick it up. At the AASP, the macbook pro didnt show any charging problems so i brought it home to charge.
    Now it has the same charging problem as before...

    Do you have another power adapter to try? If so, can you use the power adapter that came with this mac?
    Do you have another MBP? If so can you use this power adapter on that MBP?
    Are you using another pointing device or is it the one built right into the laptop? If you are using another pointing device try purchasing a new one or disconnecting or reconnecting or even try on another computer.
    You might be only able to get buy for the next few month until you graduate until you can get your computer fixed. If all else fails go buy yourself a $8 mouse from a place, it will work until you can get this fixed... or buy apple mice if that is a big deal to you.
    Here is one for only 3.18! http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Gear+Head-Computer+-+OM3800U+Mouse/3933383.p?id=1218 443155891&skuId=3933383
    Or if you want the one I have used: (M515 @ home or HP Wired Mouse-- Its kind of old) This isn't the exact one but they discontinued that one: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/devices/mouse-m100 so for $10 you get a mouse and your computer works.

  • Can I use the same power charger in another country (South Africa) and just but a socket adapter?

    I am moving to South Africa from the US for a year and want to know if I can use the same power charger in South Africa and just but a socket adapter or do I need to get a new power charger for S.A.?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Nowadays laptop chargers can be used for normal electricity around the world (110V to 250V). All we need is a small plug adapter similar the the ones we use to travel overseas. Most electrical shops, travel agents and airports ... sell them.

  • ZEN VISION:M CHARGING PROBLEM - H

    [color="#ff0000"]ZEN VISION:M MP3 PLAYER CHARGING PROBLEM?My MP3 player was charging perfectly for the first 4 weeks of its life with me. I usually charged using the USB port on my computer. When connected, the player would come to life and the CHARGING ICON would appear and flash until the unit was fully charged and the CHARGED ICON would come on. Worked well. Now when I connect the player to the computer, instead of the CHARGING ICON coming on, the unit immediately begins playing music or going to the last mode it was in before being shut down previous to connecting for charging.
    I have tried a reset of the whole player but that did not make any difference. I?encounter the same problem when connecting the player to the car?charger/power adapter. Can anyone give me some assistance? Cure?Thanks,? David B.

  • HP DV6000 series laptop - Shut down immediately as soon as I connect the power Charger

    Hi,
    I am using a hp dv6000 series laptop for last 2 years....  Accidentally, water fell on my laptop and then my laptop itself fell down from the table.
    One the first day when I tried restarting it  there was no response ( No power LED no display nothing, no cpu fan etc ...)
    I disassembled the laptop, cleaned the RAM hard disk, front bezel, keyboard. I used a hair dryer to dry out any of the moisture. My laptop then started showing some response ... now after 4 days .... it is working all fine except the display...
    The problem is :
    1. The Laptop backlight is not working... (but I can see the display with a external flashlight pointed to screen)
    2. The laptop works fine on battery... but as soon as I connect the power charger... it immediatly shuts down.
    Currently because of display problem... I am using the (RDP) windows remote desktop connection from an another laptop to access the desktop.... I logged on from another laptop and checked that all the internal harware parts are working fine.
    Also, sometimes suddenly randomly the display backlight starts working fine and goes off randomly.
    Please suggest. I seached all the online help but I have found no help on "Shut down immediately as soon as I connect the power Charger"...
    thanks.

    It sounds like the LCD power inverter has been damaged and would need to be replaced.  As far as the AC adapter/battery issue, I'm not sure.  It sounds like you need to retire this notebook early. 

  • Syncing and Charging Problem with 1st gen iPod nano

    I purchased a 1st generation iPod nano via eBay about 3 months ago and have developed an interesting syncing and charging problem.  When I plug the nano to my iMac, frequently neither the computer nor iTunes will recognize it.  I have done "the five R's" with occasional success.  I've tried jiggling the cable in the computer port and sometimes it works in getting iTunes to recognize the nano, sometimes it doesn't.  Even when I am able to get iTunes to recognize the nano, I have frequently found that the nano hasn't charged up at all.  In fact, a couple of times I found it almost totally drained of power after having been connected to my computer.  Yes, I have the most recent version of iTunes installed on my iMac and my iMac, by the way, is relatively new - having been purchased in May of this year.  What is interesting is that I've taken my nano to work and it has absolutely no problem charging up on my Dell (yuk!).  For the record, I do not have iTunes installed on my work computer and I am not allowed to add any apps to my work computer without the consent of my supervisor.  The chances of getting iTunes installed on my Dell at work are pretty much nil.  Any suggestions on how I can fix the problem?

    I bought a new USB dock connector and hoped, with fingers and toes crossed, that something positive would happen.  Sure enough, I was able to sync and recharge my old iPod nano.  I guess the original USB dock cable is on its last legs.  Not totally broken, but no longer reliable.  I consider my problem solved!    My thanks to everyone who took the time to read and try to solve my iPod problem.  I greatly appreciate it! 

  • Macbook Pro Charge problems

    So I have a Macbook Pro I bought in August 2010, which over the last 3 days has started developing charging problems. It does one of the two of the following: I plug the charger in, the charge light will come on and the laptop will charge for about 45 secs before dropping out completely needing to be physically disconnected and switched off at the wall for at least a minute before it starts working again, for the same effect. Or, I plug it in, it charges for about 30 secs, then resets itself as if it had only just been connected, charges for another 30 secs, resets, charges for another 30 secs repeats, etc etc.
    Wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue?
    As you can imagine, this is making life really REALLY difficult for trying to keep my laptop charged.
    I have tried the various tricks listed on the Apple troubleshooting website, and nothing has worked long term. I am sure the power points I am using are good, because they are the same points I use day in and day out at work/school.
    I am considering taking the adapter to the nearest Apple Reseller to me, and getting them to check it/replace it if it is naffed. I am also considering getting it replaced with the more powerful 85 watt adapter rather than the 60 watt, if I am able to do so...

    There are several reasons that the power adpater is behaving as it does.  However, since you've "tried the various tricks listed on the Apple troubleshooting website, and nothing has worked long term", the only thing left is to try a new power adapter.  Be sure to bring in your old adapter with your computer.

  • My iphone 5 cannot restart in itunes or by the power charger.  The apple icon keeps flashing

    my iphone 5 cannot restart in itunes or by the power charger.  The apple icon keeps flashing

    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • TS2634 ipad 3 charging problem?

    I have a ipad 3 that has a charging problem as of late. It will not  charge while it is on. I first have to turn my ipad off and then plug it  in and then the ipad will turn itself back on and will charge. Thats  the only way i can get it to charge.It wont connect to my pc anymore to  connect to iTunes.  When I connect it to my pc I get a USB not recognize  by this device or some USB error. I tried the same thing by turning the  ipad off first and connecting it to the pc. It just turn on and I  receive the same message on my pc. What should I do? I'm thinking I may  need another USB cable but I'm not sure yet. Please help!

    IF the reset doesn't help, try swapping out the cable.
    Also, your ipad is best charged plugged into the wall with the supplied charging brick.
    Usually charging/syncing problems are one of four things
    Bad power brick
    Bad USB cable
    Bad outlet
    In your situation you may also want ot restart your computer, use a different USB port.
    If none of that swappage and restarting fixes it then you may want to make an appointment at your local apple store because it's possible that there's something worng with the port on your iPad. And that is beyond a user fix.

  • Display & Charging Problem - X220

    I have the i7 X220.  It's been great, but I'm starting to have a few issues.  Just want to get some feedback in case there's something simple I need to do before contacting service and probably sending it in for repair (it was purchased March 2010).
    1)  Display is great 98% of the time, but I notice that the colors go off - a bit day glo/neon, if I move the laptop while it's on and in use.  This used to be just if I walked across the room, now it happens sometimes even if I just move it from my lap. The same thing occurs sometimes after I've been using it for a while.  Wondering if it's heat related or if I have a loose connection somewhere.  Note that it generally goes right back to good if I refresh the display.
    2) A more serious issue - I've had charging problems with this laptop off and on for the last few months.  I purchased a spare power supply and battery, and I noticed that it seemed to charge fine with the newer power supply, but was random with the old one.  Batteries didn't seem to make a difference.  Today, once again I can't get it to charge at all - with either power supply or battery.  
    You're thinking, "Well just send it in for service."  That's probably what I'll have to do, but these tend to be random issues, and I've not had good luck with repairs in the past when that was the case.  So, just trying to get some background and see if these are known issues.
    Thanks.

    hey shazza,
    for #1 , i'm guessing a loose cable is causing this since it happens when you move the unit. If you want, use this >> http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/guides-and-manuals/detail.page?DocID=UM006464
    open your unit and ensure all cables is connected correctly.
    another thing you can try is to uninstall the current graphic driver for your unit , let windows install its generic drivers and see if it happens again.
    now for #2 , that is something I will have to say send it to service. I have not seen that happen before.

  • Macbook Pro (Early 2011) charging problems

    Hey Guys,
    The Macbook Pro was bought in July of 2011 which is only a few months old .When I plug in my magsafe to charge the macbook pro it turns green, then orage to show that it is charging. However, after a few mintues of charging the orange LED light goes off and it stops charging, then the orange light comes on to charge for another few mintues then stops charging. I have been aren't to charge the macbook pro
    Is the charger broken? I cant find or see anything tearing in the charging cable or anything broken with the power brick.
    Thanks

    First try resetting the SMC...
    Reset SMC of a MacBook or MacBook Pro’s with an internal battery:
    * Shutdown your MacBook/Pro
    * Connect the power adapter to your Mac
    * On the MacBook/Pro’s keyboard, hold down the Shift+Control+Option keys and the Power button at the same time
    * Release all keys and the power button at the same time
    * Boot your Mac as usual
    Then try resetting the PRAM...
    Resetting the PRAM
    You reset the PRAM by rebooting a Mac and then immediately hold down theCommand+Option+P+R keys, you will then hear the Mac reboot sound again, signifying your PRAM has been reset. You must hit the key combination before the grey screen appears otherwise it won’t work.
    If those two tricks fail, take the adapter and the laptop to the applestore. IMO it sounds like a battery issue and not a charger problem.
