The battery shows red

My son's Ipod went through the washer. I've been keeping it in rice for over a month. I plugged it into my macbook and pressed the on button and the button on the front. I began to start-up. It showed the battery charge which was red. It began to start, the apple logo showed up and then it shut off. Back in the rice it went, for a couple of hours. The exact thing happened again. So, do I need to change the battery? Or does it need more time in the rice? Or am I am I hoping for too much?

A month should be enough. Try charging it for a few hours before doing anything. It may or may not work.

Blackberry Curve 9310 Battery shows Red X with JM1 9900/9930 = 1230mah

Blackberry Curve 9310 Battery shows Red X with JM1 9900/9930 = 1230mah Is it possible to get the new JM1 battery to work with the Blackberry curve 9310 the original battery was JS1 9200/9230 = 1450mah the site I ordered stated they were identical but the device shows not connected properly with the JM!. I'm told there may be a update to remove the notfication that I can install? Thank you

I GOT A SOLUTION!
Ok, so this has been happening to me a lot with my 9790, and it sure is a pain in the ***...
I got my battery with my phone when I purchased it from the phone company, if you did too the battery is most likely legit.
So the 2 ways that worked for me are:
1) Plug the charger into the device and turn it on so the Red X appears again
2) Plug the device out, then take the battery out and hold it in your hands for 1-2 mins (that's what I did)
3) Put the battery back into the device and plug the charger back into the device, BUT DO NOT turn the device back on
I plugged the changer into my device without turning it on, and the LED turned on with a black screen, you wait 1-3mins and the screen will appear with a lightening bolt through a battery.
This means it's now charging, once that happened I still didn't turn it on. It'll go to the Blackberry loading screen on it's own. TA-DAH!!
If that doesn't work, here's the second way, but it's a pain in the ***...
Hopefully you Backed Up your phone recently..because what you're going to have to do is reinstall your phone, I can't remember the steps correctly but it's pretty simple
What you want to do is connect your BlackBerry to your desktop or laptop, and open up the BB Desktop Manager. From there your BlackBerry won't be detected. Then you have to update it and click on look for updates or whatever it says, then do that and even though you already have that version just click ok to update it. From there it'll update and reinstall everything. By the time it's done you're phone should be wiped except for the things you have saved on your little memory card. Next just restore everything you had backed up from the desktop manager.
Hope one of those steps helped ya!

Is the MacBook/Air still covered under any AppleCare plan?
If you are in the US or Canada, the Apple Store with Genius
bar can have a look at it, and diagnose it for free; you'd have
to set an appointment at a store nearest you, for them do do it.
Not sure how old the unit is or how it was used, charged, or re-
charged; but those are the kinds of little things that may affect
battery life or subtract possible useable Cycles off its life.
Some users of MB/Air models (and MB/Pro, etc) had noticed
a loss of battery capacity after an upgrade to Mavericks. So
that may be some kind of revision to how the battery is seen
by the newer OS X. No idea if Mavericks uses more power.
To see an expert or specialist about this issue, for advice, &
or test/diagnose may be an idea. Could be it needs a new
battery. How does the rest of the battery/power specs look?
Perhaps the MacBook just wants to get out on the town...

My Macbook is slow and the icons bounce 12-20 times before opening and the battery shows 98% when i should show 100% i forgot how to reset it please help thank you

Why did my black macbook 2006 just shut off while gaming. it wont turn back on and the battery shows no charge when indeed it was charging

Black macbook just shut down while playing warcraft 3. It wont turn back on and has no charge on the battery ( it was charging just fine). Any ideas?

This can be caused by faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take the iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

Whilst my phone is charging and I then alter the brightness setting, the battery shows as being 48% instead of 100%

As the question suggests, another bug!!

You're being punished for saying "Whilst" instead of "While"

My iphone 4s not turnong on...pluged the charger display shows red battery sts bar but after holding power and home button it doesnt reboot:(

pls pls

What on earth do you mean by shattered? Can you post a picture?
It's always possible that the connector was damaged but not to the point that chargers wouldn't work. With continued use, the damage got worse until the connector could no longer feed electricity into the phone.
It sounds to me like you need to get your phone replaced but only the folks at an Apple store can say for sure.

Battery shows 100% after charge but get the 20% warnning after a few mins

i got the new white ipod touch 64gb after charging for its 4hrs the battery was full and at 100%
after taking it off its charge and starting a game/app after about 2 mins it showed the battery is below 20% so i quit the game and opened my battery pro app and it shows the battery is 96% but when i start the game again the battery shows th 20% but when looking at the battery at the top its showing its full white

Apple recommends the you periodically fully (almost fully) discharge and fullycharge the battery to calibrate the battery meter. I would try that.

The battery is whacked up...

Hi. So, about a month ago, my nano started getting weird on me. First, when I charged, it wouldn't ever be fully charged.
Second, when finally eject, the battery shows 3/4 battery left, than immediately goes down to the red zone.
It seems no matter how long I charge it, it keeps doing this, which forces me to charge after 2 days instead of like a week.
The problem was somehow fixed when I re-installed I-tunes(due to the fact the Ipod wasn't showing up on Itunes), the problem was fixed, but after a week it went back to its old stuff.
Any solutions?

Battery shows charging but stuck on 28% and does not hold charge

i am using HP DV6-6107tx, i got a new extended battery from anker which seemed to be running fine untill it discharged while i was playing watch dogs.
now my laptop wouldn't power on just on the battery, everything works fine if it is on charging, but the battery does not hold charge and my system powers off immediately on removing AC adapter. the battery shows "28% Charging" but does not increase or decrease the percentage even after hours of charging both while system is on and off.
i checked the battery in battery test from HP Support Assistant and it says that the battery status is ok, now i have tried the below methods with no luck :
power off and press power button methods.
uninstall and reinstall battery from device manager methods.
battery check from HP Assistant.
updating Bios to F.1b method.
updating the HP Support Assistant.
and all the other methods i could think of or read on HP's site.
can anyone guide me as to what is the issue here ? i don't have another machine to test my battery on, the charging lights are fine except that the light does not change color which it did on full charging the battery. i did try on 2 different adapters.
now if it were a motherboard or IC issue, would it not have said 'not charging' in windows ? in my case it says charging.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, M_Bilal
Welcome to the HP Forums.
That you for provided such a detailed post with what you've already completed, for the issue with your battery. I will try to guide you further.
I would like to provide you further documents for troubleshooting, but you've essentially completed what I have for this issue. The only step left, would be to test the battery.
You can do this with another battery, or in another notebook. I know you mention another machine, but if you know someone who does or someone who has a compatible battery. This would test that. You could even see if a local computer shop could test it.
The reason for this, is if the battery is the problem, it's much easier and more affordable replacement. Also, you mention it being new, might have warranty.
The other possible cause to the issue you've touched on, that would be the system board. Testing the above, would just confirm if this is the problem or not. From there you could decide on what you'd like to do.
I know, there really aren't many suggestions here, but I hope this can provide you with the next step.
Let me know how things go, with the route you choose to troubleshoot.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

IGo universal adapter not charging the battery?

Since yesterday I have realized that my apple adapter for the PowerBook G3 PDQ (aka wallstreet) has died. I plugged in the adapter and the battery icon just stays the way it is. So I plugged in the iGo Juice 70 and yeah the laptop shows the thunderbolt on the battery. Since I know when you use the laptop while charging, it is suppose to charge slowly. In two hours it said the battery is full. I thought the adapter charged it faster. Today I used it in battery mode and it show a full battery. When it was at 92% the laptop fell asleep. I checked the battery tester and it shows that the battery is empty. So I plugged in the same adapter, woke up the laptop, and it showed it was charging from 0% and in one minute it went up to 100%. I also have realized that the battery tester doesn't light up when it is charging. I tried this in OSX 10.2.8 and OS 9.2.2. Is it the adapter, laptop, battery??? Something else???

Vstream,
It does not sound like a power adapter issue. Since the adapter will power/run the powerbook, it has sufficient voltage to also charge the battery. Be sure to check if the battery charges in sleep or when turned off. You mentioned that the battery showed 100% charged; you then disconnected the power adapter and let the 'book run on battery; at 94% the 'book shut down. This has nothing to do with the power adapter; you either have a failing battery or a hardware problem in the 'book. Your problems are almost certainly a bad battery with classic symptoms...test LEDs refusing to light and random shutdowns when running on battery.
A definitive test is swapping batteries with a known-good Wallstreet, but this is usually not an available option.

Problem Macbook Retina (13"): Battery shows 100%

I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" (10.8.5), I've bought it about a year ago. Yesterday I was using my Macbook (Word, Safari), without a charger, and everything was pretty normal. When I started my Macbook this morning, I noticed something strange.
The battery sign shows 100% all the time (right corner, between Bluetooth sign and Airport sign), because I worked yesterday evening with it, it was supposed to be 67% or so. While the sign shows 100%, my hours are lowing down. Also the battery won't charge: The charger's colour is yellow instead of amber en it says "The battery is fully recharged.".
In "About My Mac" it says my battery isn't fully loaded, if I use the charger it says it's loading the battery. The only problem seems to be that the battery shows 100%, it blocks the computer to charge my battery or to see the correct 'life hours' of my battery.
I updated, restarted, shut down, ... But nothing helped. I also did a little search on the internet, but I didn't find a decent solution (I tried different things).
I don't know what the problem could be, less than 12 hours ago everything was working fine.
Can anyone help?
Hopefully the problem is clear, I speak Dutch so I had to translate the problem. I don't know if all the words are correct.

The battery of my Ipod doesnt charge, so how much it cost and where can I replace it??

the battery of my Ipod doesnt charge, so how much it cost and where can I replace it???

You can take it to an Apple store...I think its costly though, I was told maybe a 100 bucks...not sure though. How long have you had the iTouch before the battery showed signs of failure, what Generation?
This is something that has been having me wonder about battery life.

My ipod touch battery shows up empty after being charged

Hi, I have had my Ipod touch generation four for a few months and I have noticed in the past week that the battery doesnt show up charged after being fully charged it just displays empty. When I go into an app or a game the battery shows up green and fully charged. So far I have done a full restore and it didnt change the battery at all. The only thing that I had changed in the past week was I downloaded an album onto my computer then put it into my ipod and downloaded a game. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Have you tried a reset?

Shuffle light shows red when it should show green.

Shuffle light shows red when it should show green. For example, when it's fully charged, the light shows red instead of showing green. When you play a song, the light blink in red too.

Are you sure the 2nd gen shuffle you have is a REAL Apple shuffle and NOT a
FAKE?
LED colors and functions are an indication it a FAKE...

The battery shows red
