I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
Things have been good with my Yoga 3 pro until this weekend. Battery life was a good 5-6 hours, but after a recent windows update it appears the battery will no longer charge. It shows plugged in and charging and shows increasing charge but after un plugging it will dim the screen as if it's in power save and then die within 10-15 minutes. I reverted to before the update but that did not solve the problem. It happened all of a sudden so I assumed it was related to the update. Please help, love the machine but this makes it unusable.
I had the same issue a few months ago. I had to send it in and after analysis found out there was a motherboard issue.I have been using the replaced one for a few months and am running into the same issue again, am having to send it back in3 more replies
Hi, all. I have had my Ideapad P400 for a few years now and i have never encountered a problem like this one. I just recently upgraded to Windows 10, which i actually like a lot, and all of a sudden, my battery says "plugged in, not charging." It will only charge up to 59% and it dies very quickly. I thought it was the battery, so i bought a replacement and installed it. It did the same exact thing. I've tried doing a battery reset in the energy management window, i have tried downgrading to windows 8 again, and i have tried looking up different firmware updates that could potentially fix the problem, but nothing. If anyone has any idea on how to fix this problem of mine, i greatly appreciate it. This is really my last shot before i have to take it in to be repaaired. Thanks! -Frank C. (P.S. This is my first time posting in any forum, so i hope i didnt leave anything out.)

Good day,I have reached the next problem: after I've returned back from a vacation, I have inserted AC adapter into my laptop and the orange battery indicator was not displayed. I have turned on my laptop and found, that the battery doesn't charge - there is "Plugged in and not charging" message near the battery indicator in the tray. I have tried to follow the steps from the http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-and-U-series-Laptops/Ideapad-Z400-or-Z500-battery-will-not-cha... , but it didn't hepl - the program freezes on the first step "Now configuring the program..." http://take.ms/k0TBi Have also tried to delete/reinstall Energy Management - nothing helped. OS - Windows 8.1 x64.Power Management Version 126.96.36.199. (have also tried to reset battery via that toold - didn't help). Thanks in advance.
After 6 hours I have unplugged AC and then plugged in it againg - everything works well.Do not know what really happened The topic can be closed.2 more replies

I have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon (Gen3) Model 20BS touchscreen running Windows 7 64 bit. The battery is not charging -- it's in a perpetual state of "plugged in not charging" and even when plugged in, it?s losing appr 1 percent per day (down to 31%). This has happened a few times over the past 3-4 months since I got the machine, but I've managed to find things that "fixed" it (at least temporarily): - Resetting the power gauge worked once - Changing the custom battery charge threshold worked a few times - Plugging in the power cord at different stages of reboot seemed to fix it once (although not sure why / how) Based on previous thread posts, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Power Manager and then tried to run Battery Gauge Reset, but to no avail. And the reset only appears to run for about 30 sec before the system tray icon switches back to normal. Thanks in advance. KarlMore replies
Good day, I bought my Lenovo G580H 1 week before, and before few days i saw, that the battery is not charging. First time the battery was on 61%, later when i was watching the film without AC adapter and after it pluged the AC adapter i saw, that the battery is on 7% and not charging. So no it's not charging too and when you want to watch a film or something without ac adapter laptop is truns off autmatically. So for what i should be angry? For Lenovo or for Windows? Thanks for your help, and sorry for my bad language .Regards from Lithuania.
Hi Alabama,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I?m sorry to hear that the Battery is not charging and also not providing backup as expected in your G580 Laptop, I suggest you to open the LEM (Lenovo Energy Management) and perform ?Battery Gauge Reset? to get the issue confirmed.
Hope to hear back soon
Best Regards

Hi ! Over the past two weeks I've spent my time troubleshooting why my recently (used) bought X240 is not charging the internal battery. Short timeline: 1. Bought used X240 in good condition but with dead internal and external battery - working well when using power supply.2. Came home and tested that thing -> both batteries show "0% - not charging" (with Win10Pro installed) *suprise, surprise*3. Ordered both new internal and external battery.4. External battery came 1.5 weeks ago. Installed it and worked like a charm (Battery 2 (external): X%, charging).5. Internal battery came the day before yesterday. Installed it and did not work -> "Battery 1: 53% - plugged in, charging - Battery 2: 6% - plugged in, not charging)6. Waited the recommended 6-12 hours like it was written in the "manual" to get it fully charged.7. Next morning -> Batterystatus unchanged (see point 5) ... It's stuck at 53%. Though the status says it's charging, it doesn't.8. Simply tried out what's going to happen when I pull the cable of the power supply -> Notebook instant off *hmmm*9. As the external battery was obviously blocked from charging by the internal (as it was not charged), I've taken out the internal battery again and et voila, external battery is charging again.I've tried to remove both batteries and perform the "Magic Trick" (press the main power switch for 30 secs) and I've also pushed the "reset" switch on the backside near the battery. Sadly without any result ;-(... Read more
Did you buy Lenovo or aftermarket batteries? It could be defective2 more replies
i have been using this laptop for 2 years i get it from my friend .
from start it always charges battery upto 56 percent.
and i thought that there is problem in the battery cell and in few months battery backup becomes very short.
Yesterday i bought a new battery for my laptop but it is giving me the same problem which i had with my previous battery.
So this is not battery problem.
Things i have tried
1)Removing battery and uninstalling windows ac adaptor from Device manager.
2)Removing both battery and power Adaptor and pushing the power button for 20 sec if there is any residuel current.
Nothing has worked for me so far.
I would be thankful for your guidance.

Hello and peace on you..
I have a DELL Inspiron N5110 from early 2011
I was using the laptop correctly..The laptop was plugged in and the battery was charging..Then i removed the charger let the laptop on battery until suddenly the laptop shuts down without even telling me that the battery is low or even leaving some "emergency" charge on it (usually 7% or 5% i don't know)..I plugged it in to charge it again and open my leptop and i found out that the battery is not taking charge anymore!
I tried to see if the propblem is with the connector and tried to remove and put in again the charger and it ddid not work
i tried also to remove the battery and put it in again, it did not help
Now it is stuck on 2% of charge from 5 days and it's plugged in!
The laptop says that the battery is charging, but actually it is not charging and the charge level is the same from days
I looked up some solutions online like uninstalling ACPI microsof from Device manager and reboot the laptop..It did not work
"Jauge de batterie" which is an integrated software related to DELL, says that the battery health is good and that my battery is working properly
The laptop works fine with only the charger plugged in and battery out
PS: the laptop heats usually but i think it did not affect the battery at all since it was working fine and the charge took me about at minimum 30 min on high performance to be emptyed before this happens.
Please, i'm seeking for help
I hope you can ... Read more
First thing to check is wherther the sysetm recognizes the AC adapter - F2 at powerup to check that.
If it doesn't, try a new Dell OEM AC adapter - if that doesn't fix the issue, replace the DC jack board, and if that doesn't solve it, the mainboard. Note: you MUST use a Dell adapter - NOT a third party unit.
If the system DOES recognize the AC adapter, but won't charge the battery, chances are the battery is bad and will need to be replaced.
You cannot solve the issue without checking and, if necessary, replacing these parts.
I just bought Dell Inspire 3567 few days back. Laptop is not getting charged above 54%. It shows "Plugged in, not charging". Kindly help me with this.

Hi Guys, I have had to change my battery, got a brand new DELL battery but I can't get it to charge...I'm running Windows 10 PRO. I have tried the fixes listed above but unfortunately NONE has solved my problem. Any suggestions?
Hi DAEMONROD.
Where have you purchased the battery from? Does the old battery charge fine when plugged in?
Are you using an original Dell OEM Adapter? When you plug in the adapter to the system, does the adapter stay firm or does it fall off easily? Is the adapter frayed? Is there any damage on the system? Could you test with another power adapter if possible?
Restart the system and press f2 key to enter BIOS - check the adapter status in BIOS with and without the adapter plugged in. Also, wiggle the adapter cable at the end and see if the status changes in BIOS at any point. Check the battery health in BIOS (if applicable).
Restart the system and press f12 key on startup - choose diagnostics. Let it run the diags and if you encounter any errors - make a note of the complete error and report the same to us. These are onboard diagnostics and they might possible pick some error if the hardware is not functional.
Test another power adapter and check. If the adapter fits in loose, then the dc port needs to be replaced. You would need this part.
Also, please click my DELL-username and write me a private message with the service tag and your Name for case records.
Let us know if you have any other queries.

Hi sirisha,
We truly regret for the inconvenience. Please check the link below which would help you resolve this issue:
Kindly perform these steps and let us know, so we can advise you further.
I recently had my Qosmio F55-Q502 repaired by Toshiba.
Two issues were addressed and one is fixed.
However, the second was attempted to be resolved unsuccessfully.
When I attempt to play multi-media games such as Call of Duty IV, even if the system is fully charged, within minutes the system will start to blink the "backlights" and then when I see the charging icon, it says "Plugged in, Not Charging."
This really concerns me as I have read online many similar issues, but none of the solutions seems to work.
To have to restart the machine everytime this happens and your in the middle of a game, really stinks!
I even had it happening with SimCity4 which is an ancient game.
Any good suggestions on this?
They did replace the battery when it was sent in which seems to be what most people say needs to be done.
If your Qosmio notebook was in repair I think you should not discuss about any issue on forums but make a pressure on service and clarify every single problem with your notebook.
Please do this because the warranty is still valid and now is the time to clarify everything.
I am not hardware specialist but it sound to me as some power supply electronic issue but I cannot say for sure. Talk with service. Try to clarify this with them. Be nice, be cool and everything will be ok.
Hi my laptop today morning had an issue. When I plugged my charger I was not charging and there was no indication of being charged. Even the charging indicator light didn't show up when connected. I tried all the procedures of connecting charger with battery plugged out it didn't boot. And my laptop s updated until today. Any help????
Hello Remove the charger and the battery press and hold the power button for 30 secs. if in case the unit is not powering on with only the charger then the charging port is faulty, contact hp #hpexpertday

Hi guys, I ran into this problem a few days ago where the laptop is plugged in, it says its charging, but the battery % won't go up at all. It started around 16% and each time I unplugged it for whatever reason it would go down but when I would plug it back in it wouldn't charge it back up. So now I'm at 8% and afraid to unplug it again. I have the Energy Management set to Balanced, Maximum Battery Life, and it's status is "Charging" and "Good". Any help is appreciated, thank you guys.
hi kanyewest,
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. While having the battery and AC adapter plugged-in, boot into the BIOS (by pressing F2) and unplug the AC adapter until the system shuts off (this is to compete the discharge the battery).
2. Once the machine shuts down, remove and reinsert the battery and plugin the AC adapter then let the battery charge for about 2hrs while the machine is off and observe the battery lifght indicator. After 2hrs, power up the machine and observe the battery percentage.
- Link to picture
If the battery is stucked at 0%, I recommend you contact lenovo and report your findings as the battery may need to be replaced.

Running Windows 7 x64.One of my end users' T410 would say that it was charging, but the battery percentage would never change unless you unplugged it. Then it would get lower, but plugging it in would not recharge the battery. We tried putting her HD in a working T410, but the problem carried over. I ended up giving her a new laptop, but I would like to fix the errant T410 if at all possible. Since the problem carried over with the HD in a working T410, I figured it was a software issue. Reinstalled Windows. No good.Did a wipe of the HD (everything 0's). Reinstalled Windows. No Good.Booted from Linux liveCD. Charging worked, but once I booted into a fresh copy of Windows, it stopped charging. So it seems that the hardware is capable of charging the battery, but not on a fresh copy of Windows: only Linux. Is there anything else I could try to get it working on Windows? Thank you for your time and have a great day.
Hi Hang,
Welcome to Lenovo Forums.
As you are facing the improper charging of battery , in that case you please need to perform the following steps and check if the issue gets resolved.
Open Lenovo Energy Management
Click on the bottom gear icon between i and ?.
Under Battery Health, Click on Start for Battery Gauge Reset.
That should refresh the gauge and let the system finish through the cycle.
I hope the above information helps.

I just got my computer back from having the motherboard switched out because of another problem, but now my battery will not charge. The light is on and it says it is charging, but it isn't. Should I attempt a gauge reset or something else?
It is a Lenovo y50, which I have had for 3 months. The battery needs to be unscrewed from the back.
If it is not charging maybe the battery is defective.
Did they gave you back the original charger?
Did they install another different motherboard which might use a different charger?
You may need to contact the person who repaired it to find out.
My laptop suddenly stopped charging since yesterday. It is hovering around the 5-7% range since yesterday and continues to say that it is charging, when in actuality it is not. I have tried to reset the laptop, as well as uninstall and install the ACPI drivers, but nothing seems to work. It has only been a month since I got this laptop.

I have a dell xps 12, bought in 2012. Recently the battery stopped charging. The battery shows 0%, so I have to be plugged in to turn the laptop on. When it is on, the battery icon on the task bar says "plugged in, charging" but after a day it is still 0%.
Since then I bought a new battery. Just fitted it, but now the battery icon on the task bar says "plugged in, not charging". Furthermore, when I Fn+F3 to show the battery meter, it says "battery charging diabled". There is no option here to turn battery charging on. Nor is there an option to enable battery charging in BIOS.
BIOS does show battery performing normally, so does the battery meter (Fn+F3). BIOS also shows AC adapter as 45W, which is the original adapter.
Any help is appreciated!
Hi Support,
I have issue about battery with my laptop (Dell Precision M5510). Windows 10.
It stop charging at 45%. Show mess plugged in, not charging.
I try fix with tutorial on youtube
In Bios, I try change to option Standard. Battery infomation Excellent
But cannot fix. Please help.
Does the system correctly identify the AC adapter, or does it show "unknown"? F2 at powerup to check.
Is the battery the original one that arrived with the system?
I am not sure if the battery is the problem, but it seems to be. When plugged in, the battery will not charge UNLESS the computer is shut down. Then it seems to charge. When turned back on, it might charge for a minute or two but then it's back to the message "plugged in, not charging." The battery life stays consistant when plugged in, it just won't charge any higher. At the moment it is stuck at 87% after dying on me this morning. I was working perfectly last night. I have taken the battery out and turned the computer on with only the AC plugged in and it does work. My theory is it's the battery but I'm not sure. The last thing I did was run a battery test and an AC adapter test through the UEFI menu. Both passed. Can someone please help? I am so lost on what I should do now!

Thanks Lenovo98 !
I have read a few other similar posts but none of their solutions worked on my laptop. The battery percentage stays the same when plugged into the charger. I first noticed the issue this morning when I powered the laptop on and the percentage was at 44% with the charger plugged in overnight, and it was at 44% when I plugged the charger in last night. I only put the battery in the laptop a couple days during the week when I'm in school, otherwise I just leave it out and have it powered through the adapter. The laptop is 7 months old.
I tried the Gauge Reset for 8 hours today and it wasn't doing anything so I cancelled it. I have reinstalled the Energy Management software. I have also tried shutting it down for 20 minutes and charging it at a different wall outlet.
What else can I do?
Thank you
I just tried this from another post and it worked! Battery is charging again.
a. turn off the computer and remove the battery and AC adapter.
b. press and hold the power button for 30 secs and reconnect the AC adapter
c. turn ON the computer and continuously tap F2 to boot into the BIOS, when you're in, press F9 to load defaults and press F10 to save and exit.
d. boot into Windows (while still having just the AC adapter plugged-in) then reinsert the battery.
My G50-70 of less than a year just got a dead battery. The battery is constantly at 7%. It says "Plugged in, charging" but it doesn't actually charge. Please help!
Hi Mistwild82,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with battery plugged in charging in your Lenovo Y50-70 laptop.
Please try to perform the gauge reset, under power manager select maintenance guide and select gauge reset and check for the issue.
Also try to uninstall the Microsoft ACPI driver, uninstall the drivers under ACPI and restart the system and check for the issue.
Also shut down the system and try to charge the system for 1 or 2 hours and check if the charging percentage has increased. If the charging percentage has increased in Linux then it?s a issue with operating system please reinstall the operating system and check for the issue.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!

Hi all,I have a brand new i7 Yoga 13 running windows 8 from Best Buy. As soon as it booted up, I have not been able to charge my battery. As I hover over the icon, it says "Plugged in and Charging" but it does not include a percentage. I have had it plugged in overnight, and if I unplug the computer, it will die immediately. I have tried updating my BIOS, energy managment and setting it to "Maximum battery life," but nothing changes. Thoughts?Thanks

I just plugged in a brand new battery and it says that it's plugged in and charging but it isn't actually charging. I've searched the internet and I've come up with possiblythe power brick not having enough juice to charge the battery. My power brick says Input: AC100-240V 1.5A 50/60Hz, Output: 20V --- 4.5A it being a motherboard problem. Is there any utility or tutorial on how to check to see if it's a motherboard problem? Any other suggestions on how to solve this issue or at least identify the problem would be much appreciated.
If you have the possibility to borrow from somebody else - do a test on your system with another charger and another battery ... maybe you'll find the broken piece ...

So I unboxed my Ideapad Y500 yesterday and it's working wonderfully...that is, everything except my battery. When it was running low at 10% battery life last night I decided to plug in the AC adapter, which, as is normal, caused the battery icon in the corner to read "10% available (plugged in, charging)". However, what's not normal is that when I turned the laptop off and left it to charge overnight, the battery indicator light at the front of the system was still orange/red, occasionally flashing. I turned on my system again to find that my battery life hadn't budged at all despite recognizing that the adapter was plugged in and charging. I know other people have asked about something like this, though most of them say their battery icon reads "plugged in, not charging", so I'm not sure how to solve it. Any help would be appreciated!
HiNot sure it is happening but can you try this:remove battery and ac adapter; press and hold the power button for 30-40 seconds and then put it all together. Hope fully it should fix the problem.Regards

The problem started from June 2, 2015 about 4 AM (UTC +8:00 Philippine, Manila)
I open my Notebook that morning to check on my e-mails and bills at gmail but it's not powering up. At first I thought that the battery was slightly drained because I saw my sister still using it at midnight. I asked her if she did not plugged in the charger when it is nearly drained but she said she plugged it and it is still full when she shut it down.
It is Li-ion Battery
I tried plugging in the charger to check whether it still has remaining battery. It powered up.
On the taskbar/notifications/running apps it says 8% Available (Plugged In, Charging).
So to check out the problem, I left it turned off charging for about two hours.
Then after two hours it still says 8% Available (Plugged In, Charging)
What the hell is this?! I asked my self.
I installed an app to check the status of the battery (Battery Bar)
Battery Bar says something like this:
Capacity: 2K of 8K mWh (not sure about this)
Charging: 0 mW
Running on AC
7.9% Available
Something like that.
Summary Notes:

To whom it may concern.I am in desperate help..... I have tried every solution i have managed to find on the internet but none of them work. I have a HP ProBook 450 G1 Laptop. When plugging the power supply in the batery shows that its charging but it never actually charges but simply remians on at same level.....I have checked the power supply as I have an exact duplicate laptop at my disposal, same with the battery. The battery charges perfectly in the other laptop but not in my laptop. When swithcing the batteries form the other pc it will not charge in my PC. bot both are fine in the other PC. I have removed the battery, checked power supply, un-installed and reinstalled the ACPI-complaint and adapter as suggested by most. I have done what ever solution i can have managed to find but neither have worked but the battery works just fine when inserting into the other duplicate laptop and charges fine. I have tried to instal or upgrade BIOS settings etc. Nothing has worked for me! Please can someone point me in the correct direction!!!!!! Your assistance is greatly appreciated.More replies
I have a Lenovo G580 laptop. I formatted my system and it was working good but slow before formatting. After formatting i got a status of 49% available(Plugged in, Not Charging). I shut down my system completely and removed the adaptar and found that the battery light is still glowing. I remove the battery and inserted. I still found the battery light is glowing. Then i started the system with adaptar checked status as (plugged in, charging) but the power percentage is not going up. I decided to drain the battery and then check, so i was working without the adaptar & the power drained normally in usual time.Then i plugged in to adaptar and Currently the status is "0% (Plugged in, Charging)" but its not charging. Please help.
hi Abhijeettiria,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Youre troubleshooting is correct and pointed out the battery.
One last thing you could try is to run the Battery gauge reset via the Lenovo Energy Management software,
If that still gave you the same problem I suggest having the battery Replaced via warranty claim or by purchasing a new battery.
Best regards
Solid Cruver

Hi, I have a T61 and from yesterday my battery is not charging. I have a 9 cell battery and when I plug in the AC adapter, it shows "plugged in, not charging" status on the battery icon in the system tray. Could someone please help asap? Thanks,Animesh
so if you unplug the ac does the battery discharge? Try to uninstall Thinkvantage power manager and then reinstall it.1 more replies
Hello! I have a dell inspiron 7537 laptop running windows 10 home. I have issues with either battery or something else.. My power cord is connected but its not charging the battery.I have tried every trick on the internet but no cookie so far. I've had the same problem with the same laptop before but then formatting my PC solved that issue. Then this problem suddenly appeared again. Biggest problem for me is that i cant play any games anymore because my laptop is not running on full power due to not charging. At least thats what I think. Games ran perfectly before. I thought maybe removing the battery will help me to play at least but instead, my laptop shuts down when i run ANY game on my drive. For me its not acceptable. I've been a fan of dell laptops for 8 years now, this is my third one that ive bought brand new. I really hope that there is a solution for that, otherwise I'm forced to change teams :S Any help?More replies
My laptop battery had drained and then I went on holiday and since being home it displays either "0% available (plugged in, not charging)" or "0% available (plugged in, charging)". Both times it isn't actually charging. As soon as the AC adapter is unplugged the device shuts down due to it being out of charge. I have been reading many solutions online and none have seemed to work like uninstalling Microsoft ACPI-compliant control method battery and rebooting the computer- I've tried this several times with and without the battery in and neither attempts have proven successful. The AC adapter is working fine as the laptop boots up without a battery with just the cable perfectly well. Does anybody have any solutions for me to be able to charge my battery?More replies

It has been 3 months the battery is not getting charged. When I hover the mouse, it shows "Plugged in, not charging" And now the battery is not giving any backup at all. The moment I remove the AC Adapter, it turns off. I know it can be fixed by the Firmware update but I am not able to find any BIOS update on HP website.Please help me with this issue. Just give the steps and I will be doing the troubleshooting myself.
Do you know if the laptop is still under warranty? Here a few things to try: 1. Unplug the powercord from the outlet, wait a few minutes then plug it in a different outlet in a different room. 2. Examine the entire length of the power cord for tears, dents, and worn-down insulation. If you notice any, or if the power brick is warped or smells like burnt plastic, the cord is probably faulty. 3. If the cord's attachment to your laptop wobbles or feels loose, there could be a problem with the connection. Unplug the cord, remove debris with a wooden toothpick, and remove heavy dust build-up with compressed air. 4. Shut down the computer, remove the battery, and plug the computer in. If the computer won't turn on, you probably need a new cord. If you can start it up again in this situation, the charging issue is probably due to the battery itself, or your computer's interaction with the battery.2 more replies

Hey Guys, My HP Omen says plugged in, not charging. I have already tried to reset the computer, upgrade BIOS, and uninstall Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery. I tested power using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics and it said ok. I also tested HP battery check using HP support Assistant, it also said OK. I'm unable to remove the battery, so I'm kind of stuck. I'm also getting "Please connect a higher capacity Smart AC Adapter for full Performance", but I was getting that before and it still charged. There is white light next to AC Adapter when it's on and orange when it's off. The computer also seems to charge only when it's in sleep mode or fully shut down. I also got it to charge one time when the AC light flicker between orange and white when plugged in; however when I unplugged it I got back to plugged in and not charging. I'm also getting really low fps. Going from 200 fps to 10-20fps. I can make it go up to 40-60 when I unplug the computer and replug it, but I have to constantly unplug and replug whenever I play a new game. Help please. Thanks,BenMore replies

Hello, I am not sure if this is in the right section but...
Recently my laptop's battery indicator has said "plugged in, not charging" at random times. It is at random times as I said and it does charge and can hold a charge. The battery check was fine. I am at a loss at what to do. I have an HP G60 235DX. HP wants me to send it out because they believe it's the needle inside the laptop... I'm not so sure of this. They didn't seem to understand what I was saying nor even try to.
Hi pinta, and welcome to TSG.
The problem may be that the laptop is sensing that the AC adapter is plugged into the computer but sometimes there is no voltage coming through the connection.
The "needle" the support person was referring to might be the center pin of the power jack on the laptop. Its solder connection inside the laptop may be broken and intermittent or it is not making good contact with the plug from the adapter.
EDIT: If the power jack in the laptop is on its own small circuit board, it may use small round needle like contacts to plug into the main board. An intermittent connection through one of those pins might also cause the fault message.
Hi all, My laptop ( HP pavilion 15-ab237na) is plugged in to the charger. When I click the battery icon on the task bar it says it is plugged in but not charging .

I'm very confused as to why it is not charging and want to know if there is a way I can easily and quickly fix this. Help would be much appreciated.

My 5 months old Dell XPS 15 was running low on battery and when I plugged in my charger I saw the message: "plugged in and not charging". I contacted Dell Support but I'm wondering if there is something I can do in the meantime?I already tried to update my bios in the hope that would help but my battery is at 7% at this moment and Dell doesn't allow a bios update when battery percentage is below 10%.
Hi BDVTJE,
What is the exact system model?
Are you using an original Dell OEM Adapter? When you plug in the adapter to the system, does the adapter stay firm or does it fall off easily? Is the adapter frayed? Is there any damage on the system? Could you test with another power adapter if possible?
Restart the system and press f2 key to enter BIOS - check the adapter status in BIOS with and without the adapter plugged in. Also, wiggle the adapter cable at the end and see if the status changes in BIOS at any point. Check the battery health in BIOS (if applicable).
Ensure you back up all imp data on the system and then force the BIOS flash if required - http://dell.to/2hnhjs4
Restart the system and press f12 key on startup - choose diagnostics. Let it run the diags and if you encounter any errors - make a note of the complete error and report the same to us. These are onboard diagnostics and they might possible pick some error if the hardware is not functional.
Test with another adapter and battery first, if the adapter fits in loose, then replace the dc port, if nothing works, then the motherboard might be at fault.
Also, please click my DELL-username and write me a private conversation with the service tag and your contact details(Name and Email) for case records.
Let us know if you have any other queries.
I bought a dell inspiron for my (teenage) daughter about a year ago, a few months after the charger wasn't being recognized.It said it needed a 50 watt charger, but the one I had was 55 watts. We kept it plugged in even though it wasn't charging because she needed to use the laptop. Everything was slow though... it said system performance would slow down which ***. I've bought a bunch of new chargers. All 50+ watts.All have the same problem. After a while for the battery it said "no battery detected" even though there WAS a battery in there. I bought a new charger and a new battery yesterday. The battery I put in was at about 35% charge and was recognized. However, when I plugged in the charger, it said plugged in not charging. Again, we (she) kept it in because she does use this laptop quite frequently. Today I noticed that AGAIN, no battery was detected. I am annoyed and we are going to take the laptop in (hopefully) for repairs tomorrow. I don't know if I'm currently going to be able to afford it. What is the issue?
Only OEM Dell adapters will charge the battery. If you've tried more than one OEM adapter, the problem is with the DC jack (next thing to replace; if you need the part reference, we'll need the full model number - i.e., Inspiron 3552, etc.).
If the jack doesn't get the adapter recognized, then the issue is likely with the mainboard.
I am more than a bit annoyed.
I got this HP pavilion "entertainment PC" last September so i could get back to school. I upgraded to Windows 7 In Late November and really started to used the computer in January. I began to notice two things. 1) Even though it was a so-called "Entertainment PC," The battery life when not connected is at 20 minutes at best when viewing media, and around 40 when not. 2) When the AC adapter is plugged in, the battery will not charge. Instead, I get a message stating "Plugged in, not charging"
I have tried turning the pc off , waiting and then turning it back on.
I have tried removing the battery, waiting, and then putting it back in
I have tried removing the battery drivers, and lettign the system restore them automatically, upon restarting.
The last solution worked for a few moments, the charge went u to 40, then 45 % then it suddenly stopped charging again.
Now nothing I do will get it to charge. I contacted HP Customer Service. Their solution is to send me a new battery, but only After i give them my Credit card number so they can hold it. I am under warranty they refuse to assist me without me paying them and I cannot afford to.
Is there anything I can to do fix this problem on my own? i don't like being bent over, and that was why I Stopped dealing with DELL, but it looks like i am getting the same crap from a different company. At least my Dell Desktop has lasted the last 9 years without catastrophi... Read more
Hi Kuru, To me its a duff battery and it has to go. Its only going to get worse and worse until it holds no charge at all. You said "but only After i give them my Credit card number so they can hold it."
Can you please clarify that they wanted you to pay for the replacement battery or the cost of sending it to you ?
Perhaps they might think you are not telling the truth so you can get a new battery and sell on. In taking CC details they can charge you for a new one if you don't send back the old one ?
Unless the battery is excluded from the guarentee, not sure about US consumer protection laws
But if they just want postage then you might like to reconsider. Please clarify.
I have Lenovo Ideapad Z560 Laptop.When i charge battery of my laptop, it charges upto 80%..On moving the cursor over the battery icon i found "80% available(plugged in,not charging)"..Why it doesnt get charged upto 100%? I m not understanding is it the problem with my laptop or it will charge only upto 80% and not 100%.. rgds
Go to Solution.
That's usually a sign that the battery is having issues. It is reporting 80%, but will not receive any more current. If you're under warranty, call up Lenovo, and they'll send you a new battery.9 more replies

I was so confused because this has never happened before and I've had my laptop for about a year now. The light next to where you insert the charger was white and was blinking. I pulled it out and my laptop immediately shut down. I plug it back in and it turns red, and a few seconds later white and then starts blinking again.I've checked for solutions everywhere but I couldn't find anything that works.

I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 running windows 7 RC and recently developed this problem a couple of nights ago. On and off before that I would get the message, unplugged the AC power, plug it back in and it would start charging again. It has now developed into a permanent problem. I have googled this issue and found everything I can find on how to fix it, but nothing seems to work. Others have tried replacing batteries, motherboards, power supplies and reloading OS's. What works for one person doesn't always work for another. Most solutions are just temporary band-aids to what seems to be a growing problem. Has this issue been addressed in the final release? I had been running windows XP for years and never had a problem; it has only been since installing Windows 7 that the problem began. If this is a driver issue inside of Windows is Microsoft planning on issuing an update to fix the issue or are they just banking on 7 fixing all the issues that Vista has? This is not a brand specific issue as far as PC's go, I am an IT professional and have spoken with many other IT folks about it and nobody has been able to get an answer out of Microsoft and the laptop companies (Dell, HP ect.) are milking more money out of users by telling them they need new batteries, power supplies and motherboards that at best are a temporary solution. This issue really needs to be addressed.More replies

I have an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC. I am having an issue with the battery charging. I get the "plugged in, not charging" scenario. I have read all the posts and have tried all the suggestions such as uninstalling and reinstalling the battery drivers and so forth. Here is my problem.My battery is new therefore, I know it is not that. I perform a battery check and the system says the battery is good and that it is currently charging. However, the battery icon on my lower right screen says it is plugged in, not charging. The computer will completely drain the battery in about 30 minutes even though the computer is plugged in. If I take the battery out of the laptop and pop it back in, the computer will start charging the battery again. Once it reaches a 90% charge, it goes back to saying plugged in not charging again and drains the battery all over again.I don't understand the disconnect between the HP battery check saying it is charging and the icon saying it is not then draining my battery completely. Any thoughts would be helpful.Thank you.

I have been experiencing this issue for a few weeks now. The battery icon indicates my percentage of available battery and then "plugged in, not charging". I have gone through all forums and tried the following:- Uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery, then shutting down and searching for hardware changes to reinstall. When I click uninstall, it starts uninstalling, then stops, removes it, but this doesn't help.- Updating the battery drivers and the adapter drivers.- I ran a battery report to see if there was an issue with the battery (my laptop is 2 years old) and it came out clean.- I have tried to run the battery fix in the HP troubleshooter, but it comes back with "battery current status unknown".- I have refreshed the whole laptop, deleting and reinstalling everything.All the HP fixes on your webpage is only for removable batteries, while mine is integrated and I would have to pick apart the whole laptop to get it out. Of course I have also checked that there are no issues with the charger itself and that there is no smell of burnt plastic etc. in any of the parts.Hope someone can help as a last resort before handing it in to tech repair.

My T61 always says "plugged in, not charging."Some Google searching led me to a fix - in Device Manager, I mess with the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Battery Control Method heading. Sometimes, I can just disable then enable it, and the battery starts charging. Other times I have to uninstall it and scan for hardware changes, or remove the physical battery somewhere in the mix, or restart the computer, or a combination of these maneuvers.No problem, it's fixed, not a big deal.The real problem is that it will charge up about 3-5%, then go back to not charging. I have to do this about 20 times to get a full charge. Insanely annoying. Occasionally, I can plug it in and it charges up like it should, but more often than not I have to go through this hassle. Other than this, the battery charges in a normal amount of time, and discharges in a normal amount of time.Lenovo Power Manager says nothing is wrong with the battery. I tried the battery maintenence thing, no change.I've attempted to update drivers, re-install the power manager, no changes.My battery wasn't part of the recall.I have a T61, Win7 x64, T7300 2Ghz processor, 4GB RAM Does anyone have a permenant fix for this, or a cause at least?Thanks,-Matt

I'm plugged in, so it's not dying, but my battery is at 1% and the battery status mouseover says "1% available (plugged in, not charging)". I've tried all the search results for this problem, including going into Device Manager and uninstalling the battery driver then scanning for updates, but it's still not charging. I even went into Command Prompt and tried sfc /scannow but it didn't change anything. Please help?

Have you considered the possibility your battery went bad?
I recommend calling/contacting HP about this issue, and they may suggest purchasing a new battery.
I bought a replacement battery as my original battery would charge but not lose charge quickly. I've been thru two replacement batteries that test fine but still get the plugged in, not charging message. I've tried the ACPI delete, power down, etc. process and it has not helped. The AC adapter is working as it does charge the old battery. When i replace the new battery with the old battery it shows plugged in, charging!! Not sure what else to do.More replies

I have Dell inspiron 13 7359 laptop. I bought this in November 2015. I have a strange problem with this laptop currently. When i plug it in, it shows "Plugged in not charging" and the laptop speed dramatically slows down. When i unplug it, it behaves normally.
It also displays "AC Adapter not recognized" while booting up. I tried everything i can.
1) I bought a new AC adapter - when i plugged it in for the first time it got charged, i thought the problem is fixed. Then the issue started occurring since the second charge onwards.
2) I updated the BIOS - Did not fix the problem
3) I Reinstalled the windows - Did not fix the problem
4) I replaced the battery - Did not fix the problem
5) I replaced the DC connector (the DC socket to the laptop) - Did not fix the problem
6) I even replaced the mother board - Did not fix the problem.
7) I tried charging it at different power outlets - Did not fix the problem
8) I bought a new AC adapter (this time 65W) - Worked for the first charge, but it behaves the same way from the second charge onwards.
I am really fed up with this and don't know what to do. Please help me. I stay in a small country in Illinois and have no authorized dell service centre to which i can take my laptop to. Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Hi, I have a dv7-3111ea notebook and i get this message "plugged in, not charging" i replaced my battery with a new one but still says "plugged in, not charging" most of the time? ps does a new battery have to be calibrated? because i brought a new hp battery and when tested the battery with hp battery tester in the boot menu, the battery test failed and the when i tryed to do it again, it started to caliberate. why did that happen when it's a new battery???
No, a new battery does not need calibrating. If you leave the laptop turned off but plugged in overnight, does it charge the battery to full?9 more replies
I have replaced the battery, updated the drivers and my dell E6410 with Windows Professional stopped charging the battery. I even removed and replaced the battery and still is not charging the battery.
plugged in not charging. why? and how do i fix? keep it simple please, i am not an expert.

Hi Cpj,
Welcome to Lenovo Forums.
The Lenovo Energy Management is probably limiting / protecting the battery from overcharging.
Can you try the following?
Apply this Plugged in not charging message fix (Windows 7 only)
In Windows 8, uninstall Lenovo Energy Management and test. If battery stays charging, reinstall Lenovo Energy Management and observe:
Lenovo Energy Management Lenovo Energy Management
Windows 7 32bit / 64bit Windows 8 32bit / 64bit
If you still get the same error, try to:
turn off the computer and remove the battery and AC adapter.
press and hold the power button for 30 secs and reconnect the AC adapter
turn ON the computer and continuously tap F2 to boot into the BIOS, when you're in, press F9 to load defaults and press F10 to save and exit.
boot into Windows (while still having just the AC adapter plugged-in) then reinsert the battery.
Hope this helps. Let us know how you get on.

Hi, I initially had a problem when my battery was plugged in but it wasn't charging. Later on, after a few searches here and there, including on hp forums, I found a post that explained the problem. So, I followed the instructions in that post to the letter, and it worked. But not for long, I turned off the laptop at night and when I turned it on in the morning again, it displayed the same message, "Plugged in, not charging". I repeated the same steps and then it started to charge again, but then when I shut it down and turned it on again, it did the same thing. I can't keep doing this again and again, I need a permanent solution. I need to know if I need to replace the battery or something.

The laptop is plugged in and the little LED light is on. The laptop is currently at 8% and is working fine but the battery is not charging. Further, the fan inside the laptop has been working continuously for the past half an hour. I request you suggest me ways to take care of this myself as I have exams right now and won't be able to take the laptop to a service center. My laptop is an i7 5th Gen with serial number 5CD5174XQ6.
Hi,Thanks for using the HP Forums. Can you try to do a system restore to before the problem started and check if the software causing the issue? Also, you may consider running a battery calibration.

Hello, I have this message (PLUGGED IN, NOT CHARGING) that others have had. I tried (as per someone in this forum) removing energy management software, reseat the battery, let it charge, and then restart. I'm currently on the 3 step of charging. What's strange is that it still says it's charging, but its now at 100%. Is this considered fully charged? Just wondering if I should restart. Also, how long before performing the GAUGE RESET is a good idea? Does the process really take hours as the remark in the program. I've only had this laptop for a few weeks. Thanks!
Hi Jdpesn,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with battery in your Lenovo G70 laptop.
You can uninstall the Microsoft ACPI; go to device manager select the drop down list under batteries. Right click on the Microsoft ACPI complaint control battery method and select uninstall and restart the machine.
Battery gauge reset depends on the number of cells of the battery, if the battery is 9 cells it more time to charge and discharge.
Try to uninstall the Microsoft ACPI first then try to perform battery gauge reset. Let us know how it goes.
Best regards,

I have a Latitude E5440 and I just started getting the dreaded plugged in, not charging issue. It charges to about 60% and then just stops. I've tried about everything out there aside from replacing the motherboard. I noticed that during charging, it stops when power crosses charge. Not sure if this means its a software issue or not, but was interested to see if anyone had a solution.
Thank you.
First thing to check is whether or not the AC adapter is recognized - F2 at powerup to check.
If it is recognized, but the battery only charges partially, it's likely a bad battery.
If it is not recognized, first replace the AC adapter with a new OEM Dell adapter. If that doesn't solve the problem, next replace the DC jack:
and if that fails to fix the problem, replace the mainboard.
All of a sudden my x360 will not charge the battery while plugged in. It recognizes that it is plugged in but says not charging. I have shut it down hoping it would charge while turned off but no luck. Please help! Thank you!More replies

The battery in my computer is at 1% and it is plugged in, but it isn't charging. It just says plugged in, not charging. It has turned off a few times and said that the wattage of the ac power adapter couldn't be determined, but it usually goes away when I unplug and then plug back in the power cord. How do I fix this?
There may be a fault with the battery, the charger or both - or it could just be that the charging circuit has got confused.
Try shutting down the PC, remove the battery then press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. This will discharge any residual power and reset the charging circuitry. Now put the battery back in, reconnect the power cord but don't turn the PC on yet. Does the charging light come on? If so, leave it and see if it goes to a full charge.
If the charger is OK you should be able to run the PC on the charger alone, with the battery removed. Can you?
To check the health of the battery, open a command prompt and type:
powercfg /batteryreport
This will generate the file battery-report.html which you can click on to open and read in your browser. In particular, look to see if the full charge capacity is significantly lower than the design capacity.

At the Heart of the Matter: Improved Market Access to Food Supplies
At the Ninth WTO Ministerial Conference held in Bali on December 2013, all WTO members reached an agreement on trade facilitation and a compromise on food security issues, a contentious topic which had previously stalled talks during the 2008 Doha Development Round. The "Bali Package," as it came to be known, was quickly heralded as an important milestone, reaffirming the legitimacy of multilateral trade negotiations while simultaneously recognizing the significant development benefits of reducing the time and costs to trade.
Seven months after the Bali Ministerial Conference, however, the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) has yet to be ratified as India is concerned that insufficient attention has been given to the issue of food subsidies and the stockpiling of grains. India maintains that agreements on the food security issue must be in concert with the TFA.
Despite the current impasse in implementing the Bali decisions, the food security concern at the heart of the matter sheds light on the importance of improving the agribusiness supply chains of developing countries to ensure maximum efficiencies. Consider the fact that in 2014, farmers will produce approximately 2.5 billion tons of food. Yet, 1.3 billion tons are lost or wasted each year between farm and fork, while 805 million people suffer from chronic hunger.

John Snow (1813-58)
John Snow was a leading British physician of the Victorian period. He is also considered one of the founders of modern epidemiology for his work in identifying the source of a cholera outbreak in 1854. This study suggested a means of disease transmission that clearly contradicted the prevailing miasma theory. Although overlooked at the time, his study would later be recognised as evidence for the germ theory of disease, which would come to prominence in the years after Snow's death.
Cholera was a regular visitor to London's overcrowded and unsanitary streets. An outbreak in just such an area in 1854 gave Snow the opportunity to further his theory that cholera could be spread via contaminated water or food. By recording the location of deaths related to cholera, Snow was able to show that the majority were clustered around one particular public water pump in Broad Street, Soho. He eventually convinced officials to remove the handle to the pump, although by that time the worst of the epidemic had actually passed.
Snow was also a leading advocate of both anaesthesia and hygienic practices in medicine. He experimented with ether, and designed an apparatus to administer the gas safely. When the news of a superior anaesthetic - chloroform - was reported, Snow adopted the drug and also designed a mask to administer it. He personally administered chloroform to Queen Victoria during the births of her eighth and ninth children, in 1853 and 1857. Such a high-profile patient assured a growing public acceptance of the use of anaesthetics during childbirth.

Oh yes please Rob, thanks for this, I have very few pictures of the cars in their post works years, one of the things I'd love to do is to track their history and fill in as many of the blanks (and there are a lot) as I can. Especially as the cars went from person to person, some of which knew very little of their history (to be fair some cared very little too) to be the cars have faired pretty well over the years, most have survived. If anyone has any pictures of XJB305H after the World Cup and in it's Team Castrol days that would great too - as would any more info on it's fate.

This is the question we get asked most frequently, so we thought we'd answer it in some detail.
Firstly, many people seem to imagine that it's some kind of trivial oversight, as if we are going to say "gosh, yes, we hadn't thought about that", and then fix it. We have thought about it, of course. We think that it would be great for the player – and the robots – to be able to enter buildings. We've spent a lot of time examining how they might do that, and concluded that, some open and ruined structures aside, they cannot.
Here's why.
There are two main solutions to being able to enter buildings:
– Skyrim-style instanced buildings, where the interior is essentially another space. Enter through the door and explore that space independently. This is clearly a compromise, and not ideal for an open world game. What happens to the robots chasing you? Do they just wait outside? Do you get an outdoor camera? Do they come inside? It rapidly moves away from the kind of game we were trying to produce, as well as producing a cascade of additional design issues.
– Buildings that are entered within the world space, as in Arma II or Stalker. These can be explore seamlessly and allow you to look out into the world through the windows and doors. This is the ideal solution, and they one we would have to go for.
So we immediately discounted the instanced buildings, because they are not part of the world. They don't allow you to hide inside and peek outside at your antagonists. They would require interiors to built, either statically, which would increase our art time and budget, or procedurally, which would increase our art time and budget as well as programming time (proc gen solutions are extremely intensive for the programmer and testers). Doing it procedurally would mean increasing the generation time for any given world enormously, too, which makes doing it like this a drag for the player. Do you increase the generation time at the start of the game by several minutes? Or create a lag on entering any building? Clearly, neither is ideal for creating a streamlined experience. If you do go for static interiors, then you have to create a large number of them so that you don't appear to be entering the same building all the time, which again increases our art time and cost, and implementation, and testing.
The points above about creating the building procedurally also count towards the second more ideal solution, with necessary increases to procedural generation complexity and art budget. There are other questions too: do the interiors then have furniture? Where is the loot? Do we create additional 3D objects for the items, or do we create secondary loot containers inside the buildings, rather than the doors as per the current system? Solutions like those in Arma 2 are great, but they add several large burdens to development, not least of which is cost.
If we did decide we had the time and budget to go with that second system – and let me be very clear when I say that we do not have the resources, we are a three-man team with a small Kickstarter budget, and I still had to work another job for the whole of development – there's another problem, too, which is that we'd have to introduce another complex level of detail structuring system to deal with the increased geometry load from the villages. These areas are already very intensive, even with a bunch of low poly models, and when we're throwing this many polygons at the screen we start to lose slower machines entirely. The performance hit would be significant, and the polycounts of the buildings would skyrocket. Given that this was supposed to be a lo-fi game about British countryside we're suddenly spending huge amounts of resources – computational and developmental – on one problem that is solved by saying "you can't enter the buildings".
So that's what we said.
Oh, and then there's the issue of having to build every model in such a way as to allow the robots to enter the buildings – or redesigning pathfinding entirely. The system that procedurally places a navmesh onto the world can't cope with interiors, so we'd be looking at yet another solution that needs to be designed and programmed. More time. More resources, and another hit to the game's performance.
It can be done. Yes, it can be done – other games have done it. But we, Big Robot, the guys making Sir, You Are Being Hunted before the money runs out, cannot do it.
Of course there are structures you can still enter in Sir – ruins, pole barns, and so on – but the interiors of the intact, British-style houses we would need to sell the "British" ideal were simply out of reach. And this is really important: we could have removed buildings entirely. We could have made it so that there was just forest and countryside, but part of the high concept of the game was Britishness, and we couldn't get that across in the way that we wanted without British villages. And granted, we do lose something by not solving this issue – the capacity to explore and hide inside buildings – but since the point of the game was running across open countryside, rather than poking about in urban spaces, we were happy with that concessions. Lots of games do building interiors and urban environments well, but we do open, thematically-coherent countryside well. That was our goal, and we totally nailed it.
Yeah, I am bound to be a bit out of sorts when addressing this problem, so I apologise for that. It's somewhat exasperating for us to create a procedural generation engine unlike anything else ever made, to have made Herculean efforts to produce a first-person stealth game with a huge range of weapons and equipment, to implement an AI system more complex than what generally appears in first-person games, and still be told that we're lacking because the player has to use the buildings as loot stashes rather than Wendy houses.
We're gamers too, of course. We can see the ideal game you all have in your minds. We'd love to have been able to deliver it, but the part about entering buildings is missing.
I hope you can understand why.
Most importantly: once you play the game, that concern will drop away. The game works, and players get along with the systems we've created just fine. Trust us, and wait for August 19th.
