W8 doesn\'t see the battery driver

My G6 started not to recharge battery recently. Device manager doesn't see the battery. But the power cord's white light is on when plugged in. Also at the  battery sign it looks like plugged in. Message there is "plugged in not charging"
Type: Pavillion G6
Serial No: 5CD207690D
Product Number:A9J86EA
Any useful help would be appreciated...

Hi,
First of all, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.
Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the notebook down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery and then start the notebook on just the battery.  Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - leave Windows running for a few minutes. Shut down the notebook again.  Now plug in the AC Adapter ( with the battery still inserted ) and start the notebook to see if this has helped the issue at all.
Regards,
DP-K

  • Migration assistant doesn't see the portable drive with my time mache of my old mac

    I bought the new macbook air, and want to put the settings and such from my old macbook air onto this new mac
    my old mac has snow leopard
    my new one has lion
    I use a WD harddrive for time machine, it is formatted for mac
    what can i do to get these settings on the new mac?
    Slofke

    You want to transfer from the Time Machine backups of your old Mac, right?  Did you connect the drive to the new one?   And select From Time Machine or other disk?
    Does the Select the Source window (on Setup Assistant) or Select your System window (on Migration Assistant) not show the backup disk?   If so, try just clicking the Continue button.
    If that doesn't help, the backups may be damaged.  Try to repair them, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

  • Mac mini hard drive crashed. The ecovery drive only offers to reinstall mavericks on the recovery drive. Doesn't see the hard drive. What can I do?

    Hi, I have a mid-2011 with Mavericks installed. It crashed. I can boot into recovery mode. And it shows me the name of the hard drive and the recovery partition. When I boot back to the hard drive, it gives the grey screen and a long progress bar. WHen the progress bar eventually fills up, the computer just shuts down. In recovery mode, Disk Utility says the hard disk cannot be repaired.
    But when I try to re-install Mavericks from the Recovery Partition, it only shows the recovery partition as the destination, not the rest of the computer.
    Not sure what to do.
    Thanks if anyone has any advice.

    Thank you very much for the reply.
    Indeed, Disk Utility can't even erase and reformat the drive. It's toast.
    This is very disappointing. Second Mac Mini I've had go out this year. First seems to be a logic board issue. Now the hard drive on the newer machine.
    At least I was able to use Disk Drill to get photos and other important files off the Mini. I had a Time Capsule, but last year, it too died (just a few months out of warranty).
    One further question, if you don't mind. If I'm just going to replace the HD on the mini, I'm not sure why one would do this step that you suggested: "get a new HD, put it in an enclosure or use another method that allows the HD to be connect to the Min. Then boot to the recovery partition and install Mavericks on the new HD."
    Also, maybe I can replace the drive on the mini myself. Maybe get an SSD for it? They seem more reliable.
    Thanks again for taking the time to answer me.

  • Macbook pro doesn't see the battery...

    i couldn't reinstall Mac Os 10.8 so i haven't used my mac at least 3 weeks. after i take one of my ram out i was able to install OS.
    when i first opened my mac it said "Battery is not charging"... (it showed %0 percent)
    i did a SMC reset, and now my mac doesn't even find any battery pluged in.
    what should i do?

    I went to a Service in Turkey. they told me my mainbord was defective. they charged me 740$.
    but i told them my mac's only problem not to see battary otherwise it worsk fine.
    my warranty has ended 4-5 monts ago.
    they also told me normally the price is 950$ but we will sent your ex mainbord to apple so the price will be reduced to 740$.
    does any one has any idea that i face the problem because of mainborad.
    ( i also fell that they are tring to cheat me.)

  • MacBook Pro can no longer see the hard drive

    I've got a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, 15-inch.
    Okay, so I was chasing the nazis out of North Africa in Call of Duty 2 when the game froze. Command-Option-Escape was unresponsive, so I held down the power button to shut the whole thing down. When I brought it back up, I got the flashing folder icon.
    After yelling a few words I shan't repeat here, I booted off the installation DVD, then started up Disk Utility to try to repair the disk. However, Disk Utility only sees the DVD; it doesn't see the hard drive at all. Neither does Startup Disk or System Profiler. (The hard drive would be under the ATA section in System Profiler's menu, right? It only shows the DVD drive.) If I try to go ahead with the OS X installation, at the "Select a Destination" screen, where the list of disks should be is disturbingly blank. So according to every method I've tried so far, it's as if my hard drive has been entirely disconnected.
    This was my Christmas present, and I was hoping to get at least two years out of it, not two weeks. Anyone have any idea how to get this beautiful machine back on its feet again? I'm familiar with Unix and not afraid of using the command line, but I'm not sure what to try there.

  • Is it possible to see the iCloud Drive folder from my iPhone?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to see the iCloud drive folder on iOS 8 just as it is in iCloud and my Mac?
    Lets say something like the following:
    ios-8-icloud-drive.png

    Well you can consider this as well:
    Considering or moving right now to iCloud Drive? Please check the following facts to avoid my terrible experience:
    First of all it is not as easy as Apple Says: "Store your files in iCloud and access all them anytime on all your devices" - Lies.
    1) There is no standalone app for iCloud drive on iOS so you will not be able to access all your files from your iDevices only the ones you created with iWork.
    2) Even if you upgrade your space to 1 or 2 TB you will have storage limitation because you can upload what you Mac can storage, in a few words it is a mirror not an online hards disk.
    3) NO photos nor  videos in  iCloud, it doesn't matter how space you get you will not have access to them on the web, and not date has been confirmed for this promised feature.
    4) You will get many dumb folders in the iCloud drive even dumb iWork copies of your documents.
    5) Many unexpected errors will be waiting for your data, like the one I got when all my local copies of all my files ( any type) just disappeared and got a simple icon with the message Not Downloaded like if there were not before in the Mac. Apple open a ticket for this issue after many hours int he phone.
    6) Apple support is not well trained to handle issues related to the new services like this, you can call and ask simple questions and will be on hold a lot of time to while they figure out what to tell you. Try it.
    7) At the end you will cancel the service and go back to your previos cloud service ( just like me with Dropbox) and uploading all your files to it.
    8) If need more reasons just let me know and I will give you more to convince you that iCloud Drive will "drive you mad".

  • MacBook does not "see" the battery. Poweradapter won't charge it ..

    Hello, my Macs seem to be at war with me. Today, it's my MacBook playing up. I plugged it in this morning and was surprised to find that it switched off the moment I took the poweradapter out. I then realized that it only works when powered off the power adapter. "No battery" is what the computer thought. I took the battery out and put it in again but nothing changed. I switched the computer off and on again and it nows recognizes that a battery is in but it shows me that it is at 0% and says that "battery is not charging". The power adapter is attached at all times .... It is an older computer (end of 2006), perhaps an old battery, but hey .. is it normal for things to go so out of order from a moment to moment?

    Hi, m.g.h. Have you ever tried a different, known-good AC adapter, just to eliminate the possibility that the problem resides there? If you plug the adapter in and the adapter ringlight glows green, turn the Powerbook over and press the button on the battery. The lights on the battery should glow green and stay on if the adapter is working correctly.
    I don't see the Battery Info in "About this Mac..." (it's not listed at all; is this because I'm in OS 10.3.9...?
    Yes, it is. That info doesn't appear in Panther's System Profiler, so you were right to check it in Terminal.
    Your battery is obviously connected to the Powerbook, given the Terminal readouts. That being the case, it would seem that the possible causes include a bad (though new) battery; a bad PMU; a bad DC-In board, if you have a DVI Tibook; and a bad AC adapter.

  • Airport extreme doesn't see my hard drive (free agent 500Gb)

    airport extreme doesn't see my hard drive (free agent 500Gb)

    A few things to check are:
    Make sure that the drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32. The normal Windows format of NTFS will not work.
    The USB port at the AirPort Exteme is under powered. You almost always need to use a powered USB hub with a drive at this port, even if the drive has its own power supply.

  • Mac doesn't detect the hard drive

    Hello, my Powerbook doesn't detect the Hard Drive (tryied restarting, tryied Disk Utility from DVDs)... Yesterday and some days before I heard some clicking noises coming from the PB.
    I'm still under Apple Care coverage, I think they'll remplace it for me (won't they?), but the most important thing: does anyone knows if the data on the hard drive can be restored??... And if Apple Care will try to restore it or it will just remplace the Hard Drive?... do I have any other option?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   1.5Ghz 512MB 80GB Superdrive

    Here's some answers. Everyone else here chime in if I'm wrong!
    Apple Care will replace the drive (unless they determine you killed it by intentionally abusing the PB itself, very unlikely).
    Apple Care will not transfer any data they find to a new drive, just replace it and very likely load a default Software Configuration.
    Here are some options. In both cases, be READY to start copying data the INSTANT the drive is recognized. If it comes up at all...
    - Restart the PB in Target Disk Mode by holding down the "T" key during the bootup process. If you can get the PB to load as a Target Disk, you can plug it into another Mac and copy off your files (or clone it if you want to get more advanced)
    - Have a local shop remove the hard drive and replace it with a new one. Reload the default software yourself, then put the original malfunctioning drive into an external firewire/USB case to see if it's still salvageable.
    Yeah, clicking noises from a hard drive are never good. I've had a couple drives go bad on me, and was lucky enough to have time to backup real quick - biting nails all the way. Let us know how you're doing with the repair,

  • Go Flex TV media player can no longer see the external drive on my airport

    Hi there I have an external hard drive hooked up via usb to my airport extreme. I recently purchased a goflex seagate media center for my tv. At first the seagate recognized my external drive with no problem. Streaming files from the hard drive with no problem. Now the media center cannot see or log onto the drive it. It still connects to internet via my airport, I can stream you tube however it cannot see the external drive. I can access the external drive with my mac book via the airport extreme with no problem. I'm at a total loss any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks,

    I have prepared an 82 page book on iPhoto, ready to buy. There is a message over about half the photos saying "drag photo to place in background" as if it doesn't see the photo already there. I have spent over 20 hours getting to this point and can't bear to start over! Its a Mac 08X 10.6.8 and iPhoto 08  7.1.5. I have made other iBooks on this software and computer with no problems. Help please!

    Look for a page that has a similar layout:
    The one photo per page layout is the easiest to miss. Just click on a background color to remove the problem.

  • HT4889 Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive, it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive. Why is it looking for other computers?

    I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive. I told it to look for a drive, yet it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive ... it just endlessly looks for other computers. Why is it looking for other computers at all, when I told it not to?

    Wow, the wording in Migration Assistant is misleading. I've never used it before, so I thought I would try to copy my files from the external drive ... my old iMac died, but I managed to get everything I need off it, using the 'cp' command in single-user mode. So I guess I'll just have to manually copy the files from the external drive to the new machine. I was hoping that Migration Assistant might help somehow, but obviously not.
    Thanks for the quick reply!
