Satellite L650D battery does not charge

Hello.
My notebook model is Toshiba Satellite L650D PSK1SE.
Recently I have updated my BIOS to v1.80, because there was a problem with installing Linux, which is solved in v1.80. Then I have encountered another problem - my notebook couldn't hibernate.
This problem suddenly disapperared after a few months, but then battery stopped charging.
When I plug in my notebook, Windows 7 says "Plugged in, Not charging, Percentage: N%".
Sorry, I can't write exactly what is the message because for me it's in Russian. But it's something like that. Ubuntu says that battery is OK and charging, but in fact it is not.
It starts charging when I deattach my battery and attach it back physically.
Toshiba PC Health Monitor says that me battery is OK. Also i've noticed that Eco Utility DO NOT WORK when this issue appears.
Usually this happens when I do not use notebook for a few days while it is in hibernation.
That's all.
Sorry for bad english. Looking forward for your assistance.

Hi
I cannot imagine that this problem might be related to the new BIOS
But try this:
- access the BIOS and set it to default (Press F9 to get default and save changes pressing F10)
- shut down the notebook and disconnect the battery and ac adaptor
- press and hold power button 30sec long.
- connect the battery and ac adaptor and power up the unit
- check if the battery can be charged.

Satellite L30W - Battery does not charge

I have the new L30W 2-in-1 laptop,
I used it the other day with the power unplugged and since I have put the adapter back in and since then the battery has not shown an increase in charge and continually says 69% (Plugged in, not charging),
don't know how to fix this or too get an accurate charge reading

Try this:
Access the device manager and uninstall Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery which you can find in battery area (need to extend this)
Then reboot the notebook.
Feedback is greatly appreciated

Hi
Please dont use any batteries which are not 100% compatible with your notebook!
This can damage motherboard and other 3rd notebook parts.
As far as I know the A100 is a one of the newest Toshiba series and the warranty should be valid.
For me it sounds a little bit like a motherboards power supply electronic fault.
Who knows ?:| The notebook check is necessary to locate the malfunction.
So dont waste the time and contact immediately the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
They technicians should check the notebook and should provide a help.
Good luck

MBA battery does not charge when connected. Help!

My MBA battery does not charge when connected to the charger. Ive checked the other threads and followed advice but nothing seems to help.. My battery health info is good, I've tried cleaning the magnetic pins of the charger, reset smc but it still does not charge. The light on the charger is green or does not come on sometimes, and it's the same for a few Power outlets. What else can I do? Would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks.

It recognizes the charger intermittently. After cleaning, it showed the charger as connected but not charging the battery. I will try my friends charger later to see if it works. Thanks for your help!

Battery Icon Shows "18% available (plugged in, charging)" But Battery Does Not Charge

The PC does operate on the battery only, just fine (so far, as there is only 18% remaining).
The PC operates with AC plugged in also.
LED by AC input is amber (looks orange to me).
According to the User Guide that indicates charging.
Battery Check status is "OK"
I have had it on charge for over 12 hours and still at 18%.
When starting up, the battery icon shows charging movement then stops at a low level.
I measured the charger output at 20VDC (no load). Which is as specified.
I have tried all the suggestions about uninstalling and reinstalling the ACPI Complient Control Method.......etc.
Removing battery, shutting down and all the rest of suggestions.
No help.
I was told there was a BIOS update which I installed. (I'll post about that in another board). No help.
If I ever get this fixed it's going back to the vendor, Should not have this happen with less than 3 months since new.
Just got it back from repair for battery latch falling off. (Back plate was changed.)
Anything new would be appreciated.

Hi @xdellman,
Thank you for your query and realize how frustrating this is.
I gathered from your post you have tried most of the troubleshooting steps to no avail.
If you check the adapter do you notice any damaged or bent pins as this can cause charging issues?
Here are two links that may also assist you.

Battery does not charge after rescue & recovery

Hi,
Yesterday I set up my computer fresh from the preload on the harddrive due to slowness, instabilities, inability to use VPN etc. After the reinstallation of OS and securiy updates, my battery does not charge anymore. The battery indicator on the front panel keeps blinking, and the Lenovo message center reports that irrepairable damage has been done to the battery and that it must be replaced.
My battery is not among the recalls by Lenovo.
Any idea if there's any option but buying a new battery? It just does not seem right that the battery is unusable after new OS setup.
Cheers, Thorbjorn

Is there a settings in Win7/HP feature that the battery does not charge until it is under 95%

I just purchased a HP Pavilion dv6-7043cl laptop and have noticed that the battery does not charge unless it is below 95%. I am very concercerned because I had a different laptop from a different manufacturer where I had battery issues. That manufacturer was not helpful and I will never buy from them again.
I have heard good things about HP which is why I decided to buy this particular machine. However, I have only had this machine for 3 days and now this is starting. I cannot find a Win 7 (I am running Win 7 home premuim 64 bit) setting that controls when the battery starts to charge. Is this a function of the HP Power Manager? Is this a feature of the battery HP ships with their laptops? Or is this indicating a problem with this machine? I am a college student and I need a reliable laptop for school.
Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
HanNan

Satellite A300 PSAG8E does not charge

I have a Toshiba Satalite A300 PSAG8E which does not charge.
I was handed it a few days ago by someone claiming that it doesn't work or turn on -- vague details.
Upon receipt it turned on, asked whether to start windows normally or not, then booted absolutely fine, it powered from the mains charger, no problem.
I left it on for a while doing various tasks.
I came to it a few days later to find it had turned itself off.
I powered up again, at which point it asked whether to start windows normally or not. I started normally and it came on fine.
Since then I have been unable to power it from the mains.
Why won't it charge now?

Thanks for your responses so far. Much appreciated. Not to be rude guys, but I thought I was clear enough. However, I can understand the confusion as the situation is unusual.
The problem is simple:
When the laptop is plugged into the mains, the battery does not charge. The laptop does not power on. The situation is this: It only does this sometimes.
What I have tried:
Wiggling the cable, in all sorts of ways to see if there's a possible connection issue. This does not appear to be the issue. It seems to be simply on or off.
I tried resetting BIOS to default before the battery went dead last time. Still no power.
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ6201DK0004R01.htm
# Make sure the battery has a full charge.
- No, it has run flat since it charged last. Unable to recharge.
# Try plugging the AC adapter into the computer.
- Tried. Nothing.
# Try plugging the AC adapter into a different outlet.
- Tried. Nothing.
# Try pressing the power switch for ten seconds.
- Tried. Nothing.
# Make sure the power switch is not physically locked off, like a cover protecting it.
- Checked.
# Try removing the battery and the AC adapter, then plug only the AC adapter in and try powering on.
- Tried. Nothing.
# Make sure you have the proper AC adapter, and only use the one that shipped with the computer.
- Yes.
# Is the computer turning on, but the display is blank or being routed to a monitor that you can't see? If so, try using the FN+F5 keys.
- No. It is not and does not turn on.
# If the computer is on, but no display or won't power off, you can press and hold the power button for ten seconds (until it powers off), then try powering on again.
- No. It is not and does not turn on.
# Make sure you remove all extra hard ware, especially extra memory even if it shipped that way from the dealer. The memory could be loose, or could have gone bad.
- Checked. Nothing.
# Look at the lights on the computer for clues. Are you getting AC power? Is a light blinking? If there is a blinking light it can be an indication that Power supply Micro controller detects an error. In this case please contact ASP (Authorized service partner) in your country.
- No lights. When battery is in, battery light blinks when you press the power button because the battery is dead.
What I will try next: Detach the battery and power cord overnight.
If I manage to get it to power up, update BIOS.
Any further advice?

Battery does not charge when asleep

Ever since I upgraded to Tiger my PowerBook battery does not charge when it is asleep and the display is closed. It only charges when the computer is active and display is up. Anyone else experiencing this? Solutions/work arounds??

Hi, Donald. Try resetting your Power Manager, and you might also trash the preference file com.apple.PowerManagement.plist. If you trash the pref file, be sure to restart and reset your preferred Energy Saver settings afterward.

Battery does not charge,why ?

the battery does not charge any longer...why ?

Your battery may be completely dead — but even a dead battery will usually accept a tiny charge, even if it only powers the computer for a minute or two afterward.
Your AC adapter may have failed. If you have access to another adapter, test with that and see whether it charges the battery. If it does, try all the steps in this article to see whether your own adapter will revive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
The charging system inside your MBP may have failed. If you have no luck with the above, take your machine to an Apple Store Genius Bar for testing:

My battery does not charge, the battery is okay but no charging functionality

i have a g60 laptop, I think it is US120 model, It should be registered to me. When the AC charger is on it does not detect it and the battery does not charge. The battery got lower and lower and now it will not start. It also will not run without the batter in it and without charge in the battery. Any ideas_?

It sounds like your adaptor may have died. Here is a link that you can find information for troubleshooting your adaptor.

W530 battery does not charge

Hi,
I have just got a new W530 (2436CTO) with the battery (70+?), BIOS ver is 1.07. The battery does not charge even I plugged in the AC. The battery status is ok and charging on the power control panel, but there is no estimated charging time and the level has been at 4%. I have changed all types of battery control profiles but that does not work. I have even followed another fellow's example and updated in the display card, but that does not work either. I have updated every possible thing except for the BIOS of the laptop, which requires a fully charged battery to update. I hope someone who has similar experience can give me some pointers.
Thanks!
Fai

'afternoon.
the 70-series battery is correct for your machine. since it's new, i would call Service:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?DocID=PD008370 and ask them if they'll send you a replacement battery.
if a new battery fails to charge, then it could be something amiss with the charging circuitry in the laptop, but best to take one step at a time.
regards.

Satellite C855-1GQ: Battery does not charge - adapter is connected

Hello,
This is my first post here, I am hoping somebody can help me!
I have a Toshiba Satellite C855 1GQ laptop.
So, basically I managed to break the end of the original charger (the part which plugs into the laptop) and stupidly tried a similar fitting charger from another device which had a lower output than the Toshiba one,
however when I plugged it in it killed the laptop battery as well as the adapter (it was an old one anyway). I have a new battery and a new charger adapter but the battery will not charge.
When I first put the battery in it worked fine so the laptop itself is not broken, the laptop tells me that it is plugged in and charging but it just loses power until the battery goes flat.
The new charger adapter does not seem to work despite the fact that it tells me it is with a working battery. The specifications for the new adapter are the same as the original (I got a cheapish one from ebay).
Is there a fuse inside the laptop which may have blown when I stupidly used the adapter I shouldn't have? I have read a lot of possible solutions on this but none seem to be specific for my problem. Maybe the new adapter is not good enough?
Like I said, the new battery worked fine until it ran out of power so it must be the charger or something on the laptop stopping it from charging.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Chris D.

> Is there a fuse inside the laptop which may have blown when I stupidly used the adapter I shouldn't have?
The usage of wrong and not compatible AC adapter will damage the notebooks hardware (motherboard could be affected)
Very important is the fact that the original AC adapter supports the 19V (volt) output voltage and
3.42A (ampere) output current.
Usage of Ac adaptor with different output voltage (not 19V) would affect the hardware.
The usage of AC adaptor with 19V output voltage but different ampere value should not affect the hardware.
Furthermore low ampere value (< 3A) might not be good enough for battery charging
But in case the AC adaptor is compatible, i would test definitely another, new, fully compatible battery.

Battery does not charge on Satellite M35X-S349

Hi, After fixing the DC plug, which was broken, the battery did not charge. When i plug my AC adapter the charge light (orange) stays on for 5 sec. then extinguishes. The computer can be operated without the battery (AC adapter plugged in). When i flip the computer over and measure the voltage from the pins going to the battery (battery not in) i measure from left to right :, ground, 5,7V, 5,7V, 0v, 3,8V, 3,8V, 1,7V. So there seem to be voltage enough to charge the battery.
My question, is my battery fault, is there a possibility that the charging circuit is faulty or did i not solder the DC plug correct (is that possible when the computer works without hiccups from AC adapter).
thanks Olafur

Hi,
I've just installed my new battery that I bought on e-bay for $75 and now my computer is charging. I opened the faulty battery to see if there were any faulty connectors. In short I did not find the fault in the battery. Inside there are 8 batteries connected in row of two times four ( 2 always parallel then in series with the next one) , measuring the batteries it looks like two of them are low on voltage but it would be too expensive to buy them for the experiment.
Also there is a charging circuit and on it there are some Power Mosfet, Lithium battery protection AFE and Battery Management IC. I took some pictures of the battery as I was opening it.
Anyway I am happy with the new battery.
I will thank you guys, Gipsyman, Joao, Jimi in answering my enquiry.
Olafur.
