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.

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.

Presario C700 Battery Charged/Not working

I used the HP test utility on my battery: Working and charging 100%. When I unplug the AC adapter the laptop shuts down. I tried to restart without the AC Adapter, but nothing. Nada. No power, even though the test says OK @!#!@#$#@$!@
Any suggestions please. Could this be a battery Jack problem INSIDE the laptop?

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?

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.

Power Problem w/ Compaq Presario C700!!

The other night I was working on my friends compaq presario c700. I was using the battery power. I was running a pre-bios .iso file program, due to password complications. In the middle of running the program to reset the admin. password, it turned off. So I plugged in the A/C cable. After pressing the power button, the led that is represented by a little Lightning Bolt flashed 5 or 6 times and then stopped. The laptop did not turn on. Even when I have the A/C plugged in, I see no led light showing that it is charging. I don't think my software that I was running could of caused this, or could it of? What steps should I take in fixing this problem? Have these models been known to have issues like this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Based on you saying the LED flashed 5 or 6 times, this generally means the battery is fully discharged. Do you have access to a volt meter or multimeter?

PRESARIO C700 SAYS 'PLUGGED IN AND CHARGING' BUT DOES NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY

I have a Compaq Presario C700 (3 actually), one of the 3 has a problem and only works when on battery power although it is plugged in and states it is charging? I know the batteries are ok and the AC as they both work fine on my other 2 systems. The laptop will not work off mains alone and has to have the battery connected. Any ideas before it goes to the computer grave yard?

Hi Builderboy,

Hope this helps.

Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Compaq Presario C700 series notebook - C757EA Issues

Hi, I'm currently having a problem with my laptop, it's a compaq presario c757ea (it says c700 on the laptop itself) it will not receive any power or charge the battery. I don't want to get a new laptop because it will be too much money.
I had problems with it previously involving the hard drive failing 3 times and when i had got it back when the hard drive was replaced the third time it worked and charge but an hour after that it stopped charging and only would run off the battery.
I phoned up HP in the past and they've just told me to take it to PC world, but PC world are garbage because they say you might as well get a new laptop, they will not listen to me, all i want is a courier out to come and collect the laptop.
I've tried entering my Serial and product number on the HP website but it gives me this:
"We were unable to find any results that match the information you entered. You can either try a new search, or get further assistance from an HP Support agent. For a new search, please click the “Check again” button below, and then make sure to enter the correct product and serial number. Please see the “How Do I Find My Product Number and Serial Number?” information on the right side of the Warranty Status Check page, if necessary"
I've entered them correctly and i still get the same message.
Is there any other way in which i can get a courier sent out to collect my laptop? i would really appreciate it.
If it helps i had the charging problem since around August 2009.

Is there anyone out there at HP in which is able to give me information in getting a courier out to come and collect my laptop?

Compaq Presario C700 Question

I just recently bought a new charger for my Presario C700, due to the last one breaking. Now, I should note that I have not used my notebook in about 7 months or so because it was out of power and I had no means of charging. I bought the charger from atbatt.com (http://www.atbatt.com/product/23318.asp). This was my first time purchasing anything off their website. So, as soon as the charger arrived, which was March 9 (yesterday), I plugged it in, and the light on it indicates that it is receiving power, but the laptop is not charging. I need to know if I have purchased the wrong charger and should return it or whether or not there is something wrong with my notebook.
Thanks for your time.

What country do you live in, Your Highness? That is going to make a difference in where I suggest you buy the battery.
This is an extremely old laptop, right?
If you live in the U.S. this one will work:

It is not genuine HP but for the price it will be fine for an older laptop. If you must have genuine HP they cost at least $50 and have to be shipped from China.

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.?

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.
