V570 plugged in not charging message

I have my laptop v570 plugged in but i'm getting a plugged in not charging message i have it set to best battery health it's at 71% and not charging

hi la321,
thanks for using Lenovo Community forums!
Best battery health setting will actually stop the charging to a specific point. and that is the message that will show up.
Can you try changing to Maximum battery life and restart the system see if it would still say that battery message.
thanks

  • Toshiba Qosmio X505 plugged in, not charging message

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio X505 that is almost 4 years old and have some power issues.  The battery is drained to about 6% and the battery icon in the tool bar has the plug symbol for a second then it goes away then comes back and goes away.... it keeps flashing like this.  When I move the mouse over the battery icon it says plugged in, not charging.  I have tried every solution I have found on line with no luck.  I have removed the battery and ac charger and then held the power button for 30 seconds, I have cleaned the connections, I have re-installed the battery about 10 times, I have rebooted all to no avail.
    When I remove the ac adapter the power light is off and the battery light is orange.  When I remove the battery and plug in the ac adapter the power light is steady red.  As soon as I put the battery in the ac power light begins to blink on and off.  The computer does not power on with the battery removed and the ac adapter plugged in (but I'm not sure if it's supposed to). I will also add that in the last week or so when I power on I would get a black screen saying an NTFS file is bad and the machine wants to do a disk check.  The disk check never runs, even when I try to do it manually.
    I have read this could be a motherboard issue, an ac adapter issue, or a battery issue.  I am hopoing a replacement battery fixes the problem.  Before buying a battery I was hoping someone had some info to share.  Thanks

    I bought a battery hoping that takes care of the problem.  If that doesn't work I will try a new adapter and if that doesn't work I will probably just remove the hard drive and use it as an external on a new machine.  Seems there really isn't a whole lot of info out there about this problem other than the start button solution. 

  • I'm getting a Plugged in, not charging message after replacing the CPU fan

    I just replaced the CPU fan on this notebook last night and finished it today. Its running perfectly at the moment.
    The problem is the windows Task bar on my desktop says "Plugged in, not charging" when I mouse over the battery indicator there. I've tried many things to fix it, from uninstalling or disabling the drivers for the devices involved (the ACPI battery and AC adapter) under Windows' device manager, to swapping out with my spare battery.
    I've also switched power plans on the off chance that could have been causing some kind of battery charging setting. This did not fix it. The AC adapter works. I've been running this notebook for about two hours now searching for a solution, it just won't charge the battery. I've not tried observed it enough but I believe it will charge while powered off, but not while on. The orange LED indicator by the AC adapter port glows when the machine is off, indicating that it is charging.
    I have a feeling the whole "uninstall device drivers for the battery devices" idea is a thing of the past. Everything I found which suggested doing that also mentioned Windows Vista, which at this point in time is a relic (July 2015). When I was replacing the CPU fan, it did get frustrating at times but everything is intact apart from some case clips and a few other plastic case parts. I have reason to believe everything is connected too because its still powered on, meaning its getting power, but it isn't going in to the battery.
    Symptom summary:
    Batteries: OKAC Adapter: OK
    MOBO: PROBABLY OK
    ME: NOT OK   xD

    Hey srkv121,
        welcome to the forums
    On
    1. Optimized battery run time, the energy managment completely charges the battery to ensure maximum battery performance
    2. On best battery health, energy management charges only 50% of the battery, it ensures maximum battery life but not performance
    hope this helps

    Is it normal for someone to have general diffuculty charging an ipad?  I see the "not charging" message even when I am using the charger and cord that came in the original box, plugged into a wall socket directly.  It is normal for me to plug it in overnight and to see no charge whatsoever the next day.  I have never had so much trouble using a friggin charger in my life.  It just seems to be exceedingly finicky.  What am I missing?

    Charging your iPad should not be problematic. It should be an easy thing to do using the charger provided with your iPad connected to a known good wall outlet.
    The charging problem you are experiencing is most like caused by:
    1. A faulty charger
    2. A faulty cable
    3. A bad wall outlet
    4. A problem in the iPad.
    The first three of these are easiest to eliminate. Try a for ends charger and cable. Make absolutely sure your outlet is good. Try other outlets.
    If the charger, cable and outlet a proven to be good then the problem lies in the iPad.
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • A135-S4527 Battery plugged in, not charging

    There are 1000s of posts on the net but no solution is working. I'm summarizing the problem for those who are already frustrated by seeing solutions in the following order and did not work, so please do not provide any solution mentioned below 1. charger/cord/plug/outlet not working 2. battery dated non working 3. battery contacts unclean 4. restart / push power switch for 30 secs etc There are many where any of the above doesn't work as permanent solution. Sometimes it seems as working but it doesnt last for longer. Now stating the problem of mine specifically My battery was gone. I knew that when this started. The issue was, even if the AC Adapter is connected and the battery is ON and detected, it would always say x% remaining (Plugged in, not charging) - where x is < 100% . This message is so frustrating (even now I'm seeing this and I need to post before the battery gets discharged) Why would a AC Adapter not charge when it is connected and battery is charged less than 100%? Even if lets say a battery pack is not holding enough charge, it should attempt to continuously charge if the charge is less than 100% This has started when I upgraded the laptop Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527 to Win 7. I've replaced the battery with a new one and only thing I can charge the battery is shut down and keep the laptop with battery connected with AC Adapter. Since last few days even the red charging LED has stopped showing up. I've found that the problem is related to "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method battery" Have perfomed all sorts of instructions as given but none works Funniest part is when this message is on and battery is not charging while AC Adapter is connected, it is still drawing power off the battery as the % goes down and it simply knocks off when battery is fully discharged, completely ignoring that the AC Adapter is connected (Yes, it is connected as you can see the icon with the pin) I'd stop here for some advise before this goes off again. Thank you so much for your attention

  • Lenovo b570e "Plugged In, Not Charging"

    Recently Bought the new laptop Lenovo B570e.
    Few days back, the battery icon said "Plugged In, Not Charging"
    After googling with the issue I found one fix that worked, it is as follows:
    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
    However, today i experienced the same problem and i went for the same fix as above, but it didnt work...
    Please Suggest me a permanent solution for this problem!

  • HP G62-b13SA Notebook - "Plugged in, not charging"

    Hi, 
    I have an issue with charging my HP HP G62-b13SA Notebook PC (on Windows 7 Home Premium).  I've noticed that when I plug in the adapter, the icon says 'plugged in, not charging'. 
    However, I notice that sometimes it will charge for between a few seconds to about a minute (when I first connect the charger) with the orange light showing before I get the 'not charging' message and the light turns blue.
    I have had the laptop for nearly 3 years and recently had to purchase a replacement battery as the original had gone completely flat.
    I've tried running the battery down and  charging it, but no luck and the HP support assistant said the battery is ok
    Thanks,
    Jonathon

    Hi @Lewistrick
    Thank you for your query.
    I grasp that until a few days ago your battery was working well but now it will not charge. You followed some suggestion in the forum but they did not help.
    You ran the battery test and were informed you need to replace this one.  You are concerned that the test may be faulty and that you do not need to replace it.
    Here are two documents to help you understand battery life and provides an alternative method to test the battery to ensure the first test was correct.

    I don't think my laptop doesn't support windows 10 because of the following: 1) The windows 10app diagnosed it to be compatible with windows 10 2) This error which i recieve isn't consistant, it will stay for a couple of days, then disappear for the next 7 days, only to show up again late.  If my pc didn't support windows 10 then i think it wouldn't support windows 10 everyday instead of just randomly working, 

  • U330: "plugged in, not charging"

    Hello all,
    I posted this "poor battery life on U330" tread but I'll probably get more advice by starting a new one.
    My U330 is not charging anymore. What I see is the message "plugged in, not charging". After searching in the Google I noticed this is not a Lenovo's only issue. Perhaps is a problem of Windows Vista, I don't know. The first time it occurred, as suggested by someone on the internet, I removed the battery, and after a few minutes put back again. It did work on the first time, but not anymore.
    Does someone know the origin and how to solve this issue?
    Thank you very much,
    Lucio.

    Guess till today you solved it already, but if not here is my "solution" for this.
    Discharge fully till 0. If your system will shut down try starting computer and go to BIOS and discharge further in BIOS till computer will shut down due to lack of power. Then plug charger on switched off computer and leave it like this for 10-15hours.
    Had something similiar and only "solution" was to discharge further as only then comuter was starting to charge. If I'm not mistaken this happend only when I discharge till quite low level.

  • W520 - Plugged In Not Charging

    Hi,
        I received a new W520 two days ago. I noticed the battery was stuck on 96% and there was an icon in the taskbar with the message "Plugged In, Not Charging".
       On further research, I discovered that this is a normal condition that has to do with the Lenovo Power Manager. My charging threshold was set to 96%.
       I hope this post saves some other folks from worrying.

    Yes, you can set the charging thresholds yourself. I use AC most of the time so I set the thresholds to 10% and 90% to prolong the battery's lifetime.

  • "Not Charging" Message

    Hi:
    I have several chargers, but for the last couple of months regardless of the one which charger I decided to use, when I plug one into my PowerBook G4 I see a "Not Charging" message at the top of the desktop for at least 5 minutes.
    This is the location where I'm used to seeing the little charging symbol and the number of minutes until full charge, or the word "Charged", or, if running on battery, the number of minutes I have until the battery is discharged.
    I've never seen this before. Is it common? Any thoughts about how to remove it? As mentioned, usually after five or so minutes the display switches to show that the battery is indeed charging. But once or twice with a very low battery it took a long time before the battery started charging and once the PowerBook wouldn't even start up despite being connected to the charger.
    Any thoughts?

    You know, I'm not even kidding, but I just noticed that myself by total coincidence. (People might think I make this stuff up, but I don't. Some of these problems people have, I find myself having prior to reading up on it. Though, not very often).
    Here's my observation.
    At work, where I primarily use this 15-inch machine, it is connected to my 65W AC adapter. I've never gotten a "Not Charging" message next to the battery icon (with plug icon inside... which would indicate connected to power source but battery not charging, thus the message, or the other which would say "Charged") when I plug in with the 65W.
    However... where I just noticed the same "Not Charging" message on plug in, but it doesn't take five minutes to clear up is when I'm using a third party AC adapter that's rated 45W. It's a MacAlly charger for iBooks and PowerBooks.
    My hypothesis is because of that recommedation--one which I've given myself many times (so then why am I going against it?)--that 45W chargers, even though they work, are not designed for the aluminum 15-inch PowerBook and the 17-inch models. The Titanium PowerBook G4 came with 45W chargers, as did the dual-USB iBook G3s and later iBooks. 12-inch PowerBooks came with 45W adapters as well.
    Aluminum 15-inch and 17-inch PowerBook G4s use the 65W adapter and aptly so because the machine needs more juice in order to power the internals. Using a 45W adapter "works" but is not recommended because it can cause damage to the system and it doesn't get enough juice that it needs to draw from the adapter.
    (To answer a comment, I rarely bring the PowerBook home, but if and when I do, my backup charger happens to be that 45W MacAlly adapter).
    It's okay to use a 65W adapter on 12-inch PowerBooks, Titanium PowerBook G4s, and G3 & G4 iBooks that originally shipped with a 45W one.
    So, after all that, my guess is that you may be using a 45W adapter with your 15-inch model and that may be the cause of the "Not Charging" message. Although, after all that as well, if you're using a 65W adapter, then it may be a glitch.
    Then again, you may want to do this to solve the problem:

  • HP Probook 4510S says "Plugged in Not Charging," little help from tech support

    Hi there,
    I have a two year old HP Probook 4510S that has had a ton of problems. The most recent of which was an error message every time I turned on the computer saying "Batter is critically low" and it stopped charging and said that power was 0% (it continued to work though if it was plugged in and would die immediately if the plug was removed). I replaced the battery ($108), which took about a month to receive because HP apparently sent the store the battery that goes with the new model of Probook and said it would fit in the old model (it didn't and had to be sent back). When I finally got the new battery it worked for about a day and then I noticed that the message said "Plugged in, not charging" and when the charger isn't plugged in the battery seems to deplete rapidly. Now it's at 36% and not charging.
    I spoke to someone today at tech support and she said because it's out of warranty they couldn't help me, but that I should "try a friend's charger" to diagnose the problem myself, as though everyone has the same charger. When I said I didn't have access to another laptop to try another charger she just repeated that I need to try it on a different charger to see if it's a problem with the battery or the charger. But that if it's the battery and I provide them with proof of purchase they could replace that. The battery is brand new and doing the same thing as the last battery, so I doubt this is the problem. I said that I had seen messages all over the internet discussing this problem and that no one seemed to have the answer and she said "Those are on the internet, we haven't substantiated those claims." I'm shocked that HP doesn't seem to care that they get a bad reputation for offering so little help if a product is out of warranty. Because of this experience I doubt I would purchase another product from them, and I would warn others against it too. I've had more computer problems with HP than any other brand of laptop I've had or any of my friends/family have had. In the meantime, has anyone else had this problem? From the forums I've read it seems that occasionally people find solutions, but none seem to be working for me. Any insight would be much appreciated.

    I did a BIOS update on my ProBook 4530s and it took care of the problem
