- I love Apple but they are really getting on my nerves, I have had top send back 2 ipods(one they actually had the balls to charge me for shipping) because of battery issues( the battery would only hold a charge for 20 minutes)
MESSAGE TO APPLE!!! either lower you price or build your products in the USA so we can get quality product. Having to send a computer to you for repair is not the answer, you owe your users more than that for the price you charge.

My wife bought me a new powerbook for christmas and I got it Jan 3rd 06.
Take it out of the box and set it up. Battery doesn't charge! won't Charge and apparently is a placebo! 2000.00 dollars, and counting. Imagine buying a new car without a battery under the hood! What the is going on??? I Go down to the apple retail store and they have NO 15" power books and no batteries because this is a big problem. They have been authorized to just swap out the computer, and or swap the battery. They are out of both till who knows when, (7 to 10 days ).! On the eve of the MAC WORLD CONFRENCE I am feeling sick about the whole IDEA that these power books were all sent out like this Apple should get them back before they are sent to consumers!! Apple and the reputation they have of being HIGH qaulity and RELIABLE is in trouble. How many class action law suites, POOR MERCHANDISE, ( I SENT BACK A NANO- CRACKED SCREEN and A PHOTO ipod that was purchased last Christmas- 400.00 dollar and a bum battery) Lets not forget the original ipod
LAW SUITE AND ALL, I had one sorry to admit. Qaulity is going down with Qaunity. I'm afraid to see what happens with the NEW intel Computers. It could just get worse. I just wanted to go wireless and I don't have a battery to
do that. So as I watch the mac confrence on my new 2000.00doller computer and am tethered to an Electical out let while getting stream from my new base station, I will certainly be thinking about how APPLE claims their stuff ALWAYS works better than a widows machine.... or does it really?

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Also:
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.

Z10 will not charge & with new Battery will not turn on

I have have had my Z10 about a month now, I am gernerally happy with it as a work phone which is similar to my private Iphone5. Unfortunately the Battry life has been reducing on a weekly basis to around 4 hrs between charges. Now it is dead and will not wake up, so I bought a new Battery, now it blinks once the three times but will not turn on.
Any ideas ? The OS is the latest on the Blackberry site, but as I can turn the phone on I can't be more specific.

Hello,
From your description, if your charger is "known good" (e.g., it can charge other devices), then one can only deduce that something (hardware) inside the BB related to passing power from the charger to the battery has broken. Or that something passing power from the battery to the device has broken.
Regardless, if your charger is 100% fine, then it sounds like a hardware problem for which no amount of OS/software level fixes nor internet-distance diagnostics can be of much value.
I recommend you seek formal support via your official warranty channel. Normally, that starts with your original place of purchase or an authorized service center -- it varies by region.
Good luck!

Truck stereo will play iPod touch be will not charge it's battery

My truck stereo will play the gen. 4 touch 32 GB, but will not charge it's battery. It did play and charge the battery for the nano 8GB with no problems for several years previously before switching it out with the iPod touch last week. What gives?

Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Have you contacted/went to the car system's support site?

My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

If it's still under warranty, Apple will fix it, but you have to send it to them, so you won't have it for several weeks. If the warranty is expired, they'll still do it, but you'll have to pay for it. Last I heard, it costs $99/S&H.
That is the ultimate defect in the iPhone. No other cellphone has a battery that is not user-replaceable. I won't buy a phone that doesn't.

Will not charge with new cable

I have an iPod classic 5th gen and it will not charge with any newer cables. Either apple or aftermarket. I have found it will charge when I hook up my Kensington battery pack and it charged with an older cable but I no longer have it. It's their something different about older units and charging accessories?

There is no difference. They are exactly the same. So it doesn't charge whether you plug it into an available USB port on your Mac or via a wall adapter?
Have you check to make sure the iPod's dock connector port was clean and clear of any sort of debris and/or damage such as bent, broken, or corroded pins?

Powerbook will not run off of battery.

My 15in powerbook g4 (1.67 ghz) will not run off of its battery even though it is recognized and fully charged. Everything is fine when it is plugged in. The battery charges and everything else works until I unplug the computer. Then it just shuts off. I am not sure if this is related but recently it was waking from sleep by itself and even booting up by itself. I checked wake schedules, and nothing was set for automatic wake. I tried resetting the power management, but that did not work either. Now nothing is working and it won't even start without the power adapter.

Thanks for responding.
iStat says that my battery has gone through 392 charges. I'm surprised it even lasted this long. It seems to be working now, but it looks like it is losing its reliability and will probably completely stop functioning pretty soon. Money is tight right now so until that day I guess I will keep this one. Thanks.

Q430 Battery dying under Warranty- will not send a new battery

Q430 battery dying confirmed through Samsung customer service but they want me to send the whole compute and battery and ac charger in for service a 2-3 week process at which time my daughter will be without her college computer.
Why not just replace the battery?

Do you have the Samsung with the non removable on the back battery?

X220 Will Not Charge When Primary Battery is Dead with Slice Battery Installed

I have got it to do this twice so far, so looks like a problem. My wife always puts her X220 to sleep versus shutdown. Sleep still uses some power apparently which is fine. It looks like it is draining only the primary battery even though the slice battery is connected.
The issue is that with the primary battery drained and the slice battery connected, the TP will not power up. Plug the power adapter into the slice battery and still no power up. The slice battery charged to 100% with it pluged in, but the primary battery would not charge. Plug the power adapter into the X220 directly and let it charge for a moment, then everything works as it should even if you then move the power adapter back to the slice battery.
So if the primary battery is dead, the slice battery and charging the primary battery through it seems to stop working under this scenario.
Obviously not a huge deal since we now know what causes this, but maybe someone wants to fix some day.
I am using BIOS 1.16 and have been for a while.

hey DevItHere,
have you tried updating your bios and at the same time uninstalling the power manager for your X220 and reinstalling it ?
if not, please do so

I'm having the same problem. I got my battery replaced about 2 months ago because my Macbook Pro (got it in 2008) would keep shutting down after a minute or two of being unplugged, so I figured the battery was on the verge of death. Last night I noticed that when I had it unplugged the battery life was wavering between 1% and 2%. I plugged it in and it says "Not Charging". It was fine a few days ago, showing me a life remaining time.

Powerbook will not charge

I have a PowerBook G4 that's about 1.5 years old now. About 8 months ago the power adapter stopped charging my PowerBook, however, when plugged in it kept my PowerBook at the same battery percentage. I went out and bought a new adapter made by "Targus." It's worked fine up until about a week ago. Now it's doing the same thing thing and only keeping my battery at the same percentage. I updated the battery and checked the charger and reset the power thing. None of it has worked. Now my PowerBooks battery is @ 9% and won't charge. I the pwer goes out or something, it will die and since it doesn't charge, will no longer work (i'm assuming). Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas on how to fix this? My 1 yr warranty is up so how much will it cost to have it fixed.

Iphone 4s will not charge unless the battery is totally dead.

I just got my iPhone 4s 2 days ago. The first day it charged over night with no problem. The 2nd day I put it on the charger at the end of the day and nothing happened. It didn't even show that it was connected to the charger... nothing. I tried turning it off and plugging it in, this gave me the apple logo and turned the phone on, but still no indication of charging. I left the phone on the charger and went to bed (it was at about 30%) and when I woke up it was totally dead. I unplugged it, then plugged it back in and the charging screen came up and the phone turned on and charged. It took 2 hours or less to charge to 100% and it hasn't had any trouble holding that charge today. What is going on with this??? I will probably call customer service after work today, but I'm just curious if anyone else has had this problem or knows what is going on! Thank you!

Yes I tried multiple sockets, nothing worked. It was still hooked up when I woke up, but dead, I unplugged and replugged and it started charging. The night before I had tried everything and there was no sign on the phone that I even had it plugged in other than when I turned it off if I plugged it in it would turn on.

The battery installed is not supported by this system and will not charge. Lenovo X220i.

Hi All, I bought a re-furbished Lenovo X220i and decided to buy an extra genuine Lenovo battery which is brand new (New Old Stock maybe?) from a dealer. Battery Details: P/N OA36283 on the Box. P/N 42T4861 on the battery. According to the Lenovo documentation, this battery part number should be compatible to Lenovo X220i. However, when I insert the battery in, it comes up with a message that the battery is not supported by the system and will not charge. The battery comes up with zero (0%) charge. I installed the latest driver I can find and still comes up the same. Can anybody shed some light on this please? Thanks.

Hi
can you provide the photo of the labels on the battery surface (with quality the symbols legible)? Also, if OS is win7 and Lenovo Power Manager application is installed, it's very helpful to add information PM in the Advinced mode from the Battery tab.
There is a big chance the battery is faked.

Dv9933cl will not charge

I have a dv9933cl entertainment laptop. It will not charge. The battery icon in the system tray says, plugged in not charging. And it does not charge, it's not wrong about that. I have, for other reasons, changed the motherboard twice. I have installed a new dc jack and have purchased a new battery and power pack. I have re-installed the OS, I have upgraded to Windows 7, I have installed dual boot with Linux. Nothing will make this thing charge. I'm out of ideas. Anyone?
