    Most computers do not supply enough power to their USB ports to charge an iPad.  Use the charger that came with it.

  • 8620 - not charging will not turn on

    Hi
    My son just returned from Columbia to Australia with a gift of a used BB 8620. We would like help getting it working.
    - Battery does not charge
    - no display when charging
    - cant turn it on
    I took it to a mobile phone repairer and they said it was an imitation BB. Is this true?
    Thanks for your help
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Before I responded to your earlier posts, I had a look for the BB 8620 and couldn't find any reference save for the Nokia link. Moreover, I got no response from this site or thee other BB forums and I would have expected to do do so. Hence why I had a look for BB models thinking maybe its an old one or was restricted to a specific geographical area.
    I found nothing.

    it has "BlackBerry" on the front, "Curve" on the back and inside behind the battery says
    "BlackBerry Model: 8620 CE 0168 MADE BY BLACKBERRY"
    there is also an IMEI number
    Blackberry's aren't made by Blackberry, They are made by Research In Motion - RIM
    All mobile phones have an IMEI number.
    BB's also have a PIN number.

  • IPad not charging if not turned off

    Hi.
    I have an iPad 1 gen that will only charge if i turn it off. If i then connect it to the wall charger, my work PC, my iMac or my MacBook Pro it will start to charge and also turn itself on. In our household we have an iPad2, two iPhone's and two iPod's. They all work as they are supposed. The iPad is also not recognized with the PC or the two Mac's. I cannot restore it either because it will not connect to iTunes on any of the Mac's or the PC. I have turned it off several times. Done soft reset on it. It is not able to find upgrades trough OTA. I have not jealbreaked it or done anything like that. The iPad has only been used it what i belive is the supposed ways. We do not have any Apple stores in Norway, so i cannot bring it to a genius bar. Any tips?
    Best Regards
    Frode Eriksen

    Sounds like the iPad may have a hardware problem.

  • My phone will not charge. it will turn on when plugged in but will not reset or charge

    My Iphone 4s is dead. I plug in it to the charger and the battery pops up on the screen, after a couple  minutes it powers in but will not charge I ttmried to reset it and it powers off but will not power back up the battery pops back up...---HELP!!

    Hello there, kendrafromgeneva.
    Great job with the troubleshooting you've done so far. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps to review for further troubleshooting of your issue:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • IPhone 3G not charging and not being recognised by PC

    I plugged my iPhone 3G into my laptop today to charge it, as the battery was extremely low and for some reason, it's not being recognised by my computer at all, and it's not charging at all.
    I've tried plugging it into a powerpoint in the wall as well, and it still doesn't charge.
    I plugged my iPod into my computer with the same USB cable, and it worked fine.
    If I hold in the power button at the top, the battery picture comes up with a tiny bit of red in it and the power cable -> charge pictures come up underneath, then the screen just goes black again.
    I've never had this problem before, so I'm not sure what to do.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same problem after the upgrade, but think I may have a solution. The problem doesn't seem to be that the phone isn't charging, it's that the indicator isn't showing that it has charged. Try this:
    1. Plug into the wall socket.
    2. Push and hold the power button, you should get a "slide to turn off" kind of message -- do it.
    3. Let the phone power off, and leave it that way for a slow count of ten.
    4. Turn it back on by pushing and holding the power button -- you'll get that black screen with the apple logo, don't panic, it just takes a minute to power up, you haven't lost anything.
    When it came on, the indicator showed it was fully charged from the night before. My concern is that the indicator got hosed by the upgrade.
    Try that out, let me know if it works -- and at your own risk. It worked for me as written, but I can't guarantee that will do the trick or not wipe your phone. I don't think so, it seems innocuous enough, just wanted to make sure you're aware there could be another resynch needed if it does do something else for you.

  • Battery not recognized, not charging, but not dead...AC plugged in

    My MacBook recently had a dilemma of not turning on. I went to the Apple Store and the Genius Bar tech guy fixed it with a SMC/PMU whatever power reset process it's called. Now my computer turns on, it just doesn't recognize the battery. The tech guy said my battery isn't dead, it just needs to be recharged. I'm kinda concerned that he didn't bother solving the issue at the store or try to tell me what is wrong. The computer only runs off the AC adapter, but sometimes when i plug it in the MagSafe connector will quickly flash green and orange repeatedly over and over and the battery status icon will go between X and 0% or from "No batteries recognized" to "Battery not charging" or "Charging not complete". This only happens occasionally. It also might say "Calculating..." but it will always go from one of these things then back to "No battery recognized" super fast repeatedly for a long while.
    Also, when i close my MacBook, it won't go to sleep immediately like it used to. So if i close it then unplug it to take it somewhere, it shuts down as opposed to sleeping. I know if it gets unplugged it might shut down cause lack of battery recognition, but why won't it sleep when i close it?
    I installed the Battery Update thingy for MacBooks and i don't think it did anything whatsoever. The AC cord works, the battery works, just not together on my laptop. I'm guessing while it was in it's permanent shut down state before i went to Apple Genius Bar, it must have drained the battery power, because i pushed the button when it didn't turn on the first time and it was fully charged with five green lights, then over the next two days i kept checking it and it slowly decreased until it is now a single flashing green light. It had two green lights when i went to the store, but after i got it "fixed" it stopped recognizing the battery.
    I've had this laptop for nearly two years now, and it has survived a lot. I read many forums/threads about battery failure in other MacBooks like mine, bought around the same time as mine, but my issue is a mix of all the different problems.
    For example, I have the same issues as these people did with their macbooks, but none of their solutions helped me:
    "my battery logo alternates between telling me the percentage and most of the time showing an 'X' in the battery, it says no batteries recognized. it even does it with the charger connected!"
    "The battery has a single, rapidly flashing, light when I press the button on it."
    "But it never is able to calculate a time, and if you disconnect the power, the computer immediately shuts down."
    "When I take out and reinsert the battery, it'll recognize it for a minute, flash in and out of orange, and than it will say no battery available."
    "In system profiler it says there's no battery installed, and the little LED lights on the bottom of the battery don't do a thing. It's as if the battery is not installed, yet it is."
    "My macbook has stopped working when not plugged in. The battery is installed but in profiler it says battery: not installed. Also there are no lights on the battery to show it charging. In the menu at the top of the desktop the battery has an X in it."
    "my laptop doesn't recognize my battery-- it only runs on the wall charger. I've tried popping the battery out, then back in. When the laptop isn't plugged in and I push the battery's little button, the first light flickers briefly for a second or two and then shuts off."
    "I turned on my Macbook with AC power after returning holidays. I realized it couldn't charge itself, and the battery indicator showed "X" with "No batterries available.""
    I searched everywhere for a solution. But it seems like i'll have to return to the Apple Store and get it fixed that way. Here's the computer info anyway:

    Do you have AppleCare? It seems to me you need a new battery but obviously we can't tell how bad the battery is unless you get that battery info while it is recognized.
    Try another SMC/PRAM reset and get that info. Call AppleCare about your issue if the Apple Store won't give you a new battery. (Depends how many cycles you have).

  • My Mid 2012 13" Macbook Pro is not charging and not recognizing the A/C adapter.  Is there anything I can do?

    The light on the A/C adapter does not turn on when I plug it into the macbook pro.  I tried resetting the SMC, but the Macbook Pro still does not recognize the charger.  Is the charging port broken? Is there anything I can do to fix it before finally taking it in to the Genius Bar? I have also tried using multiple chargers so I know there is no problem with the charger.  Will it cost a lot as my macbook is three months out of warranty?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have got a different charger, try plugging it to the Mac and see if it charges. Also, check that your charger (the one you have got now) light appears in orange or green when you plug it in. If it doesn't turn on, it's possible that the charger is not working correctly.
    I recommend you to take the Mac and the charger to an Apple Store or reseller. If the problem is the charger, the repair will be cheap, but if the problem is the logic board or the battery connector, it may be expensive

  • HP 431 NOTEBOOK PC works while plugged in but is not charging ((pluggedin, not charging)

    My HP Notebook PC works great while it is plugged in to the AC outlet. The light near the DC power plug on the laptop is lite up as normal. The problem is when I put the cursor near the battery indicator I get the error message "plugged in, not charging". I took the battery out and put it back and nothing changed.  I left my notebook plugged in to the AC outlet overnight(8 hours) and the battery percentage is still at 32 percent.

    Is the notebook still in warranty?  Check your warranty status Here.
    If you can use the notebook without the battery and the power led lights up, that means that the power adapter is OK.  If you have had the notebook more than one year then chances are that the battery is failing. You can test it by using a bootable Live Linux Ubuntu to see if the battery charges with the other operating system.

  • DV4 1275 Power Issue, Battery not charging, Will not Power with AC only

    HP Pavillion DV4-1275mx
    Battery will not charge, Laptop will not fully turn on with battery in (battery not charging at all).  Laptop will not power on at all with no battery using only AC and with battery it will attempt to load and die due to lack of charge.
    Have tried 3 diff HP chargers.
    The orginial 1 that came with the laptop is dead and will not charge anything. Tried it on a diff HP laptop and not recognizing any power
    The 2nd one is OE HP laptop diff model but same wattage that came with my gfs work laptop.  I have charge my laptop with it before in the past however it is not charging the battery now either
    The 3rd is a aftermarket generic one that my g/f bought in the airport and it works with hers as well however I have never used it on mine. 
    I have tried hard resetting.. taking out battery, holding power for a min and replugging everything.
    Also when I remove the battery and plug in either of the chargers that do work the power LED are "not" lighting up on the front or the LED where the AC plugs into the laptop.  Which makes you think the charger is bad however the 2 working chargers do work on my other 2 HP laptops.
    If i plugin one of the 2 working chargers with the battery it will go through the boot process and as its starting windows it just dies and shuts off.  The power led by the DC jack does light up and the charging light on the front lights up. However this only works when I unplug the battery and plug the AC charger in. After the laptop boots up to starting windows and dies. I have to remove the battery and replace it to get the LEDS to light back up..  If the MB was bad I wouldnt think any of the LED's would come on nor would the laptop boot up to the starting windows. If  keep trying to turn it on the booting time is shortened as the battery is not holding a charge and sometimes it only makes a few seconds and then just dies out.
    I dont have alot of money to spend so I was hoping maybe you could point me in the right direction.
    Should I buy the replacement part OE charger for my specific laptop? (not sure if its going to be much diff than the others since they are all 65 watt chargers)
    Should I buy a new battery as well?
    Or does this sound like a short problem in the mother board or a solder issue with the DC plugin?
    If it is an issue with the motherboard I do not want to go through the hassle of buying the battery and charger as I will end up having to just replace the laptop
    If you could please advise me what direction to go I would be so greatful.

    Dude, I have the same exact problem with mine. It's not a cheap fix either. It definitely is the motherboard.
    I'm no expert, but I believe the problem is a dead capacitor on the motherboard preventing it to build up a charge.
    I spoke with an HP rep, which told me it's $398 for them to fix.
    I let them know that I didn't have another $400 to put into this laptop. So, they suggested I try reseating the motherboard. And also reseating the memory modules.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01597750.pdf
    That is a pdf of the laptop's manual. It'll help in reseating. Page ( 59 ) for the motherboard. Page ( 67 ) for the memory modules.
    This hasn't helped at all with mine, but maybe it'll help with yours!

  • I am having a problem w my battery not charging now not booting

    I have a late 2011 MBP 17" . I noticed yesterday that the battery was not charging when plugged in. Battery health: normal
    I read on the forums to reset the pram and / or the sco?. I did both. I also cleaned w the microfiber .. After that the green light was showing on my cord.. Yah! But the battery was still not charging.
    So, reading again on the forums...  I saw to drain all the way down and plug in and charge back up..
    I drained .. Plugged in my cord.. It turned green then the light turned off (no orange ) and I can not turn my computer on now..
    Any suggestions would be appreciative PLEASE
    Julie

    Take a look at the connectors on the mag safe adapter and be sure they are all level and one or two not depressed.  Take a q-Tip and rub it across them if one or two are depressed.
    Other than that, I would go toa  Apple Retail Store and have them test the power adapter as well as the MBP.
    Hope this helps!

  • Fairly new battery not charging after not being used for a while

    My computer (Elitebook 2530p) has not been used for a while, perhaps a month or two. The battery used to hold for over 3 hours of light use.
    Now, the battery won't charge with the message "0% available (plugged in, not charging)"
    I can't find a battery refresh utility in the BIOS, or any way to interact with the battery. Is there something I'm missing? Should the battery just go dead after not being used for a while?
    Update: fixed typo

    I've run the HP battery check and got the code REOOW. Battery is dead, and I am out of warranty. I can't think of any possible reason why this should have happened.
    What does this code (REOOW) mean?

  • Phone not charging, phone not charging

    My phone is not charging, even though it is connected to the charger

    I'd say that might be a good assessment.! of the issue..  Do you by chance have another charger you could try..If not it might not hurt to go by a Local Verizon store and have them try a charger on it an if it Works then a purchase might need to be in Order..
    Give those suggestions a try and Good Luck to ya.. b33
