T410 Will not charge battery!

I have a T410 which does not charge the battery. I have installed the latest BIOS and Power Management software without any thing changing. I noticed that even with a fully charged battery if unplugged from the AC adapter it will die instantly as though the battery is dead! Could this be the system board? I'm not sure what else to try in diagnosing this issue.

Well it appears it's not the battery or the software because I had another new still in the box T410, Type 2522-22U of which I used to interchange batteries and power adapter with. One last thing I tried was switching hard drives with the factory fresh image on it and I found that O/S to behave the same way in this laptop. Still reports the battery at the same charge and not charging. Looks like its the system board. Apparently there is a circuit on it that regulates the charging process. That same battery in the NIB laptop charges just fine!

My new T410 will not charge battery! Bizarre

Hello, Today I recieved a T410 laptop I purchased from ebay. (perhaps a mistake)
The laptop appears to work fine while plugged into ac, however the battery will not take a charge. Lenovo power manager says the batter is at 15% capacity and "charging", however this never increases and the laptop dies instantly when the power cable is removed. It does not turn on without ac power. When it is plugged in and closed, the battery charging LED is illuminated, however it blinks (i'm not sure if it is supposed to do this?). It is solid orange for 4 second and then one quick blink.
I have updated the bios, completely removed the power manager software and driver and reinstalled it. This has not helped my issue.
One concern I have is that I purchaed this laptop refurbished from the states. I am located in canada. I hope I am eligible for warranty service.

Sounds like the battery is defective. You should be able to get it replaced if the laptop is still within the first year of warranty. Whether or not Lenovo will acknowledge your request depends on where the warranty applies.

Palm Pre crazy symptoms: "phone offline", will not charge battery, will not start, error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved"

This is a long description of a series of problems with my new Palm Pre. You may wish to search the text to find your specific issue(s). There is no solution in my post. Look for possible answers in the responses to come.
I bought my Palm Pre 4 days ago and it arrived 2 days ago. Phone worked great. Last night I plugged in the phone and updated the OS. After completion, I selected "Done" and went to bed.
- First Series of Issues: "Phone Offline", will not charge battery -
In upper lefthand corner of the phone there is the message "phone offline". Although the phone has been charging all night it reads "26% battery". I called the general Sprint tech support number and we tried the following things:
1) Restart phone (press and hold power button, then select "turn off". after power down, press and hold power button to power on.)
2) Reset the phone (several different ways - call tech support so that you do this correctly)
The individual at Sprint then sent me to another tech support person, presumably 2nd tier.
- Second Series of Issues: Error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" -
Sprint tech support person #2 also had me restart and reset the phone in a number of ways. In her words "we've tried every palm pre trick I know" and each time the phone was unresponsive. Often we received the error message "phone is offline". We did a full erase and after that the phone would no longer restart. At this point the error message came up saying "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" which referred me to www.palm.com for assistance. I think it's important to note here that this was not the typical error message (black screen with white letters) but rather the blue sky background with a semitransparent box over it with white text.
Sprint tech support person #2 then connected me with Palm support and the dance continued. Again we tried a whole bunch of resetting and restarting and erasing options. Palm support instructed me to go to: www.palm.com/rom to download WebOS Doctor, which I did. I downloaded the file. While that was happening he had me hold the "volume up" button and plug the phone into the charger. This caused a USB symbol to appear on the phone. When the file was complete I received an error message that the file couldn't run. Palm tech support person seemed surprised. I mentioned that I was on a Mac and he said he couldn't help me. He then transferred me to another Palm support person who works with Mac users.
Palms tech support person #2 then informed me that I should have selected the "mac" download option on www.palm.com/rom. I verbally walked her through the whole series of webpages, telling her that it says that you need Windows (version whatever) or Mac (version whatever) but that at no time was there an option to download a different WebOS Doctor for different operating systems. After some more discussion she told me she would have to have someone call me back tomorrow.
- Third Series of Issues: phone stuck on USB symbol -
So at the moment the phone is completely useless. Not fantastic. I booted up the mac in Windows 7 and downloaded WebOS Doc and received the same error. I also ran Windows Vista virtually and received the same error. Later this afternoon I'm heading into work to try the same thing on Windows XP.
In the meantime, I got onto this forum and located a thread that provided a direct link to the necessary file:
palm.cdnetworks.net/staging/rom/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar
After downloading that file, which I realized could totally be a virus, I was able to get WebOS Doc working on my computer. It required that I recharge the phone completely before beginning and now it's on the screen that says "Don't disconnect your phone" and the file is at 3% complete. Only... it's been at 3% complete for almost 30 minutes.
I am hoping that Palm will follow up with me tomorrow, but I'm leaving at 7am on a business trip and would love to have the thing working. Any suggestions are welcome, even if you can just tell me how to get the think disconnected safely before my flight tomorrow. I don't fancy getting through security with my phone wired to my laptop.
Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
Hope this helps,

Since my I upgraded to ios7 my iPhone 4 will not charge, battery completely dead. Any ideas

Since my I upgraded to ios7 my iPhone 4 will not charge, battery completely dead. Any ideas

I updated my iphone 4 to ios7 three days ago. It now will only charge if connected to a computer USB port, either Mac or windows. It no longer charges on any wall mounted USB cable, like it did before the upgrade. The wall mounted cables still work just fine with an iPhone 4S and a new iPad retina display but not at all with the iPhone 4. Took it to a genius at apple store and they checked the battery. It still charges to 80% of original. They were clueless and suggested I replace the unit. It seemed to be related to ios7

HT1476 upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and will not charge battery. when plugged in gives message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".

Just Upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and it will not charge the battery anymore.
When I plug it in, it now gives the message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".
Anyone else have this issue after they upgraded the iOS system?
Thanks,

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.

T43 1875-D6U will not charge battery or power on.

I have a T43 1875-D6U that has a power issue.
I replaced the A/C input jack and purchased a new genuine battery but the system will not charge the battery. I have tested, with a multimeter, the wall outlet, the a/c power adapter, the power jack connection opening and the connection to the board, and i have tested the battery terminals at the board --- everything checks out as getting power.
When i received the new battery, there was 5% battery life because the OS booted and i could see the battery indicator on the SYS tray but system would still not charge the battery. Now the battery is dead and I am back to "square one".
I have disassembled this laptop 5 times now trying to troubleshoot this issue.
PLEASE ADVISE!

Hi, I am having the same problem. But as yet no-one seems able to provide a solution. Have you made any more progress with this?

Power book will not charge, battery just replaced.

Recently the power adapter or the power connector on my computer would easily disconnect from each other.
This morning I noticed that it was not charging at all, played around with it trying to jiggle it into place yet it does not have any connection.
Before I go and spend $100 on a new charger,or $200 on a service bill, is there a way to tell if it is the adapter or the connector on the powerbook.
I noticed on the cylindrical plug that the silver tube has seperated and was wondering if that would have to be sealed in order to maintain a ground.
I know it is not the battery as I was able to get one on warranty, through apple care, and it charged full last night, which it is showing 4 hours left.
Thanks

is there a way to tell if it is the adapter or the connector on the powerbook.
The easiest thing to do is go to an Apple store where they will have a working power adapter, or if you have a friend with one, use it. It sounds like the female socket itself may be shot, which would require replacing the DC-in card, which is around a $75+ part, plus labor to install.

My iPhone 4s will not charge battery

my iphone 4s left 5% battery last time i use it but somehow dead and I try charge bettry but not charge at all

I cant understand! :((
Can you explain more.…?

Year Old 4G 20GB simply will not charge - battery issue already?

I've had a 4G ipod for a year now which charged with both the USB cord to my laptop and the firewire cord to the AC adapter until yesterday.
Once before I ran the battery low enough that it wouldn't mount on the computer and I got the battery with exclamation point icon.However it did take a charge from the AC adapter. This time the icon showed for a second and then completely died. I have not been able to get the ipod to mount or charge on the laptop (or another computer's USB port) or been able to charge from the AC adapter.
I followed Apple's troubleshooting (including waiting over 30 minutes for the ipod to recognize the charge from the AC adapter, but it refuses to turn on at all, and I can't get it to reset. I use the Ipod a lot, but not nearly enough to go through the estimated 300-500 charge cycles to deplete the battery.
Any thoughts?

Try hooking it up to the AC adapter and leave it to charge overnight. If it is still unresponsive the next morning, I'd start looking around for a Apple service tech.

SL510 will not charge battery

I had a battery that wasn't charging, and assumed the problem was with the battery. But I bought a new one, and it won't charge either. So now I think the problem is with my SL510. Power Manager says the battery is in good condition, and sees that it's at 12%, but it just doesn't charge it. I installed the latest version of Power Manager, and that made no difference. I tried to update battery firmware but it said it was up to date (even though the version is listed as all zeros). Any ideas?

hi ubiquity,
thank you for your post and welcome to the community. We had a very similar issue previous pertainng to the battery issue you had faced. You may want to try these steps.
Disconnect AC
Shutdown
Remove battery
Connect AC
Startup
Under the Batteries category, right-click all of the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listings, and select Uninstall (it’s ok if you only have 1).
Shutdown
Disconnect AC
Insert battery
Connect AC
Startup
Hope this helps out. Do let me knkow how it goes.

Battery will not charge. and other issues

Well i'm working on a friend of mines notebook, its a n100 model 0768 12u running windows xp. This is the situation so far. First his hard drive had fried so i replaced that and put the o.s. back on it,but now the battery will not charge. also the wireless network card and dvd drive did not work. I had originally thought that they might have fried as well when the hard drive went down. However I looked through the forums here and found that alot of people solved the battery issue simply by replacing the battery i recommended that. He purchased a replacement battery ( not a genuine lenovo battery, don't know if that makes a difference) and when i put it in the dvd drive and the network card started working no problem. But alas the battery still would not charge. the system runs fine without a battery in it, but if i put the battery in it while its running it turns itself off after about 30 seconds of having the battery in. when the system is powered off and i put the battery in the battery lcd in front blinks 5 times orange then nothing for about 30 seconds then 5 more times. maybe thats a trouble code, don't know, looked all oover the forums and couldn't find anything quite like it. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Steve

Duck3,
Glad that worked for you! Thanks for sharing here.
I saw a weird situation on friend's ThinkPad recently - a replacement battery arrived with a 37% charge (not 100% deliberately as somewhere around 40% is the best for shelf life), but it would not accept a charge. We did a reset by removing the battery & AC and pressing and holding the power button a number of times (some people say 10 times, some two or three times for a count of 5 or 10). This drains residual capacitance.
We plugged back in the battery and AC and it began to charge.
Might be worth a try here before he opens it up ....

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

After trying to down ios 7, iPad will not charge, will not open and will not connect to itunes. The only display I will get is the apple logo, or low battery warning.

Battery charges when asleep but will NOT charge while awake

Hello -
By battery will charge when off/asleep but will not charge while awake. It just slowly drains to nothing and dies even though adapter is plugged in. magsafe adapter light is green when open/on and orange when off/asleep and lights on battery indicate charging while in the latter state. still using stock battery that came with computer when I got it a few years ago, so it's not new by any means, but when fully charged lasts as long as it used to. I would think maybe charger is issue, but it DOES charge, just not while awake. not sure why computer wouldn't still work correctly while plugged in if in battery indicator it says power source is "power adapter," but its not. I have tried resetting PMU and calibrating battery. the combo of the two seemed to work when having issue a few months ago, but it just started doing it again. frustrating because once it dies I have to wait several hours until its fully charged again, so it cramps the workflow... any ideas? battery info from profiler below.
Cheers,
Ian

Scott - Your answer ultimately led me to the answer, albeit months later, after much internal deliberation and some trial and error... thanks!
Ruled out battery (as crazy as that sounds - it's had a bajillion cycles) as it didn't make sense that battery would charge but wouldn't work while awake. I have a friend whose battery is completely shot and his still works as long as magsafe is plugged in, and mine wouldn't even do that. tried another adapter and that worked. then tried mine in a different plug. so in the end, turns out I had a bum powerstrip... mag safe / battery recharge works properly when just plugged in somewhere different.
So no need to buy a new charger or battery (yet!)
thanks to all,
Ian

IPod touch recognizes it is plugged in and has low battery but will not charge no matter what it is connected to! Suggestions????

After a year of owning my iPod touch 4g it suddenly stopped charging on my computer and outlet addapter. It still shows the two pronged plug icon that recognizes the iPod is connected to something but even as the battery level goes below twenty percent it will not charge. Still functions well and even connects to iTunes.

If it is still under warrenty which you can find out from here or if you know it's under one year old bring it to the Apple Store.
