X1 (1286) main battery good condition at 1% and not charging

Hello,
I recently noticed that the main battery is no longer charging. It is now at 1% and not charging when AC plugged in (screenshots of powermanager attached). Power Mgr says it is in good condition. Since I usually have the slice battery attached on the road or AC plugged in at home, it has always been in Optmize for Health mode.
The battery gauge reset procedure was performed and hasn't helped.
I've run the battery firmware update utility and it has stated that battery firmware is up to date.
And as always the case, 1yr warranty expired  3weeks ago 
I'll try updating BIOS (1.66) to latest, which I believe is 1.69, and post back if any success. 
Any clues please? Thanking you in advance.

Thanks for responding Jin and helping out.
Unfortunately updating bios and power manager hasn't resolved this. The new version of power manager 6.54 dispays same battery details.
Furthermore, i am now noticing that the slice battery charges to only 80%  despite setting charge mode to fully charge. Could be experiencing this problem (x1 slice battery won't pass 80% unless internal battery is 100%) too, unfortunately no answers to that post.
In the process to updating drivers via LSC but not holding my breath

  • Battery 0% and Not Charging

    The battery in my mid 2010 13" Macbook Pro was getting low so I grbbed my 85W power adapter and plugged it in, but there was no light. I tried unplugging and reconnecting it in different directions but still nothing. I figured the power adapter was dead so I purchased a new 60W adapter and it won't charge the computer either. On both adapter the Battery Condition reads Normal and Battery is Not Charging. When plugged in with the 60W Power Source is Listed as the Power Adapter and when plugged into the 85W it is listed as running on batery. My battery is now at 0% and Not Charging. I have tried resetting the SMC but it didn't help. What should I do now?

    Hi,
    I would like to ask you a question.
    a month ago I bought a battery case for iPhone 5 and it worked properly until I installed iOS 7. From that day my iphone is operating normally, BUT when the battery is empty, unfortunately I can not charge additionally my iphone with the "extra battery case".
    Does that mean that you did not even create a new software that supports additional battery case or it is something else?
    I need your help!!,
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    VK

    The Mophie Air is a good battery case, but doesn't offer the protection she's looking for. I suggest sticking to the Lifeproof, the iPhone has a very good battery (2-3 days moderate usage for me).
    To your 2nd to last paragraph, that is false. Verizon is allowing exisiting customers to keep Unlimited Data - but will lose it once they use a subsidized upgrade. So if you buy a 4S (or LTE device for example) outright, you will keep unlimited data. Mobile hotspot may use up a bit of data, but it is a separate add-on/feature. The new Family Share plans may change that, so it's one giant center of data all devices use.

  • My bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign )

    my bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign ), i think the battery drained and switch it for charging but it will show only not charging sign . i bought this phone before 9 months, whats the solution for this ?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • The battery of my macbook pro will not charge and the LED light is only green. What to do?

    the battery of my macbook pro will not charge and the LED light is only green. What to do?

  • How smart is my mac? can use the AC adapter as a main power source and not charge the battery when its fully charged?

    does my mac use the AC adapter as the power source when its plugged in and the battery is full? is it smart to enough to split?

    The charging circuit charges until the battery reaches 100%, then shuts down the charging and goes to powering mode.  When the battery charge trickles down to 93-95% the charging circuit starts again and tops up the battery.  Will continue to operate like that if you leave it plugged in.  Keeping it plugged in does not harm the battery or risk overcharging.

  • Is my battery dead or is it just not charging?

    We made the mistake of using the PB G4 as a desktop and kept it plugged in for a very long time. Now the machine wont run unless it is plugged in.
    About this mac gives me this info:
    Battery Information:
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 0
    Charging: No
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 3695
    Health Information:

    Amperage (mA): 0
    Voltage (mV): 3614
    Coconut battery gives me this info:
    Current battery charge 0 mAh
    Maximum battery charge 3697 mAh 0%
    Current battery capacity 3697 mAh
    Original Battery capacity 4400 mAH 84%
    Battery Loadcycles 216
    Age of you Mac 56 months
    Charger connected yes
    battery is charging no
    If I take the battery out, About this Mac still says that the battery is installed.
    We've also gotten some date and time error messages that make me think the PRAM battery needs to be replaced (it's still the original, as is the main battery)
    Last clue, the PB wont hold our home wireless network as a preferred network. Every time we power up it says that the preferred network is not located do we want to join our home network.
    thanks for the help

    Yes, you've killed your main battery. Replace it and charge the new one fully, then remove it and leave the AC adapter connected for five or six hours to recharge the PRAM battery, which is apparently also drained now and may or may not be able to take a charge. Then reinsert the main battery and use the computer normally. If "wrong date and time" messages continue to appear, your PRAM battery will also have to be replaced. If it's more than four years old, it's due for replacement in any case.

  • Macbook Pro Late 2008 not recognizing battery and not charging

    Hello
    i really need some help please
    i have a Macbook pro 15" Late 2008 running os x 10.7.4
    i will say briefly how did the problem begin and what is the problem
    it stopped charging for some reason the magsafe light was (and still is) dim green and at the battery icon it said not charging but after a couple of hours that it was turned off and connected i found out it is charging really slowly
    later on that week
    i was using an app called DSLR remote connected to my camera i left my macbook on the table outside connected via usb to my camera waited on it and came back
    when i came back my mac was out of battery
    i took it in hook it up to the magsafe nada nothing not charging dim light
    so what i did i knew my magsafe charger is ready to be changed so i bought a new one
    tried it same problem
    later on did an smc reset
    it did turn on biw the fans are really loud the battery icon (x) and it said no batteries available
    so i tried my old fastly drained battery it used to hold up about 1-2 hours then i bought another battery but that was in the past
    so i tried both batteries smc reseting with both same result
    the smcfancontrol app says fan speed 000 rpm and temoerature 0 C
    and one more thing when the mac is off and not connected to the magsafe i click on the battery indicator light on the left side i get a flashing light (battery empty needs to be charged) when i connect the magsafe it stops working even when its off and while its just connected
    so it is and SMC problem
    it has been like that for the past 4 weeks or so
    i really need some help
    and im from israel so no apple genius bars around =_= and i have a good technical knowledge
    Sincerely, Sari Hassoun

    its not about solving or not its about trying to
    i understand nobody wants to make any harm to my macbook
    thats reasonable
    anyway its a hardware faliure of some sort i'll need to check it my self but now im almost sure its not software because i've tried many things
    my other option is to run it off a battery
    the thing is my battery is out so when its attached the battey indicator lights do work (they are controled by the SMC) that might solve it too
    thanks for replying really
    its appreciated

  • Battery heating up, now it is Not Charging

    For a while I have had the issue of my macbook becoming very warm when charging, or in use. And it would often say not charging, then i would have to remove and insert the charger a few times before it would work.
    Now it is not charging at all, and the battery is at 0%.

    If the heat is coming from the battery itself, you probably need a new one. If you're near an Apple Store or third-party service depot, they have a diagnostic they can run to determine if your battery has failed and needs to be replaced. Depending on your model, the battery may be something you can swap out, or would need to be done with a special tool.

  • Since installing the new OS i am having troubles with different appliction icons showing up on my main page twice (upper left corner), and not allowng me to select certain ones (app store specifically).   Anyone else having this issue?

    Help - anyone else out there having trouble with the new OS system on their ipad 2?    I am not getting mutliple copies of several apps ont he main page.  They are "collecting: in a pike int he upper left corner and the original application icon is no lobger working.    I have tried a hard sync, and that didn't help.

    It should only be able to have one copy of an app on the iPad. Have you tried a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Do all the apps work ? In the past a few people have taken a screen shot of their iPad screen and that has then become their background picture - so some of the 'app's may actually be on your wallpaper picture and not actual apps. Have you tried changing the wallpaper to see if that makes any difference ?

  • Battery works perfectly fine but does not charge!! (HP Probook 4530s)

    Hi
    This has been happening for the past couple of days or so. My laptop works perfectly fine on the battery but when I plug in the charger, it says "Plugged in, charging" but the battery does NOT get charged. I ran HP Battery Check and got the following results in the charging and discharging situations:
    I will be very thankful for any help you can offer!

    Thank you for the reply Kalt. I have some questions:
    1. How do I perform a hard reset of the BIOS on this laptop?
    2. The battery does not even charge when the laptop is switched off. Which makes me think that it might not be a BIOS issue because when the laptop is off, the battery should charge on A/C power right?
    3. The battery charging LED does turn "orange" which means it is charging... but the battery doesn't get charged. Furthermore, until 2 days ago the battery was still lasting at least 2-3 hours on a full charge. Do you think that the issue is not with the battery but maybe the charging circuit in the motherboard has malfunctioned?
    I appreciate your help

  • Satellite L450 - battery states '18% available plugged in, not charging'

    Laptop is a L450-181 and is literally two years and two weeks old!!! gutted... help!!!

    no, still doesn't work... i'm wondering that the problem is the battery, maybe the cells inside are corrupt or something...
    ...have others shared the same problem? - 'plugged in, not charging'
    what is annoying, is that since i lost my job, i didn't want to fork out a meagre 10 per month on extending the warranty... so it ran out just over two weeks ago... i'm worried if this would corrupt the computer when the battery runs down to 0% available... at the moment it is 13% and falling!
    thanks for responding feliks! I hope you got the answers compadre!

  • HP Mini: battery completely empty and not charging.

    Seems, that computer was not shouted down completely, when I close laptop. During next two days battery was discharged completely and not working anymore.
    What I have to do? I bought pc in August, 2010 - before that battery was really ok (around 4-5 hours).

    Hi @Pandamoniumrain ,
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

  • Need help with G450 battery: Stuck at 0%, claims 9x% and not charging

    Okay, there have been a couple similar posts but they don't provide a definitive answer so I am going to ask again.
    A few days ago, I put my computer in sleep mode with a low battery. When I woke it up, it froze and I had to force shutdown. Since then, whenever I unplug the computer, it loses power instantly, indicating that the battery is not powering it. However, my system can still tell when the battery is inside or not. When it is inside, it tells me I have "97% available (plugged in, not charging)", where the 97% slowly decreases over time (at first I had 99%).
    What is the problem here? How do I solve it? The "plugged in not charging" issue seems to be fairly common, but the fact that my battery is drained and the way that I got to this point seem somewhat exceptional. If it comes down to buying a new battery, that is not a problem - I could use the extra battery life, and they're pretty cheap.
    SPECS: I am using Windows 7 on a Lenovo G450 and do not appear to have Lenovo Power Management software. My AC adapter appears to work just fine.
    Solved!

    hi serpinium,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    Based from your findings, I suspect a faulty battery.
     -- it's possible that the battery circuit inside is not working to unload the charge, or one of the battery already reached its life span.
     -- there's also a chip inside that handles how the battery gets charges and checks the charge level of each battery (both are controlled by a firmware) -- ti's also possible that this chip is malfunctioning.
    Batteries degrade overtime due to heat and daily use. If you had this battery for more than a year then perhaps it's time to get a replacement battery.

  • My iphone will not power on - when plugged in the battery will display, but it does not charge

    My iphone ran out of battery a few days ago, and now it will not charge back up. Its been plugged in for over a day, when the home button is pressed it displays a battery with 3 small red bars. I was able to get it into recovery mode and restore factory settings - but this did not solve the problem! it is still not turning on. I have tried changing chargers etc. already and i believe it is a problem with the phone. please help!

    Could be a battery problem. You'll have to visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider to Apple Store to get it checked for hardware issues.
