Satellite L20-183 - battery will not charge

For two days the Toshiba * Satellite L20-183 original * battery does not charge.
The laptop * works on a/c * power, but its * battery is stuck * on 3%.

You have an idea, what could be the problem?
The laptop is almost three years, and the battery itself is rarely used (almost all the time),
I can't imagine it's already ready for graveyeard.

I run * BatteryMon test and these are the log information:

How old is your laptop and the battery?

The point is that, after a long period of use of each battery stops the functionality.

My battery in the laptop of 5 years is not working too.
I could replace it, but I use the old good classic as a desk for laptop and it s still connected to the power adapter so I put t need a new battery.

However, if you want you could test whether a new battery will help you.

Good bye

    Hi blackmodjo,

    What happens if you connect the AC/DC adapter, while the laptop is turned off? The battery will be charged or not?

    If this isn't the case, it seems to be a malfunction of the battery. It s already 2.5 years that you wrote and the battery can be charged only up to 500 times. After that, it must be replaced.

    New battery should t be so expensive. Just ask a service provider allowed in your country, and guys will help you to get a new one.

    Hello

    Generally, there are three possibilities;
    (1) the adapter is faulty
    (2) the battery is faulty
    (3) the logbooks electronic malfunctions (ESF)

    So now he of needed to check all these steps to find the fault.
    You said you've tried different batteries and AC adapter works too.
    So it is possible that there is something wrong with the electronic power supply

    In this case there is not much to do to contact the ASP in your country. Technicians should check the portable and should run diagnostics tests

    I recommend contacting the guys and ask for more details and manipulation still good luck and happy new year.

  • Satellite L655-13V - battery does not charge

    I have laptop Satellite L655-13V and the battery does not charge while I plugged the AC/DC adapter.
    and give me this status: "plugged in, not charging."
    And when I connect the battery only work on computer, and when I connect the AC/DC adapter only without battery the computer works also.

    But when I connect the battery and plugged to the AC/DC battery adapter not charging and give me this status: "plugged in, does not support".

    Please, help me to overcome this problem.

    Hello

    Leave the AC adapter plugged into the laptop for a longer period of time.
    In many cases, the battery may not start to demand immediately, as his deeply discharged.
    In this case the adapter must be connected to the laptop for a long period of precharge the battery, then the battery should start loading as usual.

  • Camileo X 150-battery will not charge

    Hello all - I bought a camcorder Camileo X 150 nine this week. The camcorder only has power when it is connected to the power adapter or the USB cable. I tried to load it on Friday, had died eight hours, came back and the battery still had no power. Then last night I load from one day to the next, still no power this morning.

    I tried everything to implement but it still does not power upward only when connected to AC or USB - maybe the battery is faulty or I do something wrong?

    I would appreciate any help with this issue.

    You did not... something wrong to charge the battery, you must connect the power adaptor only... then the battery should start loading...

    But it might be possible that the battery is discharged deeply (empty), and in this case, the adapter must be connected at least 24 hours...

    Then, check again, and if the battery would not charge even if the AC adapter is connected to a longer period of time, get in touch with your dealer camcorder...
    Maybe the battery / camcorder is faulty.

  • OfficeJet 150 battery will not Charge!

    I bought my printer in January this year and since then, so I didn't need to unplug it, so never really tested the battery before today. The bettery is attached to the rear, as described in the manual. The power meter indicates 0 onto the stack, and more strangely, the green charging light does not illuminate, but flashes when I remove the battery while the printer is attached to the sector. If the printer works fine wirelessly while that plugged but battery does not charge or hold the load. It is an old machine at 7months!

    The unit should still be in warranty, if it is seven months old. HP has a free one year standard warranty on its devices. Contact HP for warranty support.

    Troubleshooting guide indicates that if the product works without being connected to the battery, but not with the battery, then replace the battery is the recommended solution.

    If replacing the battery does not solve the problem then the power module has probably not.  The battery and the power unit are covered by the warranty.

  • Pavilion 15-P001TX: battery will not charge!

    Hello
    I bought my HP Pavilion 15-p001tx of the Amazon at the beginning of the month. It was a good deal and I had fun playing Call of duty black ops. Then a notification came to show that I should plug the charger. But when I plugged in the charger, another notification came telling me to plug a smart adapter for best perfomance. Now, the system tray showed me that the laptop is plugged in but not charging!
    What the hell! I looked for answers and someone suggested to uninstall power microsoft acpi compliant control and restart the laptop. I did as I said, but with no use! Now, when I plug the laptop (it does) a small orange LED lights up but when I turn on my laptop, it suddenly turns off suddenly.

  • Battery will not charge on Satellite M35X-S349

    Hi, after attaching the DC Jack, which has been broken, the battery did not. When I plug my power adapter (orange) rest charge light lit for 5 seconds, then turns off. The computer can operate without the battery (AC adapter is plugged). When I turn the computer and measure the voltage of the pins going to the battery (no battery) I measure from left to right: terrestrial, 5, 7V, 5, 7V, 0 v, 3, 8V, 3, 8V, 1, 7V. So there seems to be enough voltage to charge the battery.

    My question is my fault for battery, is it possible that the charging circuit is defective, or did I not solder the correct DC connector (is this possible when the computer works without a hitch of the AC adapter / CC).
    Thank you Olafur

    Hello

    I m not a technician but I think it of possible that you have something wrong.
    According to your assignment on pin 3 is without power. This is a problem.
    Without any detailed motherboard tests it s not easy to say what's wrong.

    I think that the technician who has more experience in these issues should check the laptop. Unfortunately, without a diagnosis it s not possible to know what s wrong.

  • My Lenovo T400 battery will not charge?

    AC works fine. I took battery inside and out, cleaned the dust, etc. Still will not take a charge. Have also tried the reset and always in vain. I read somewhere about uninstalling driver and re - install an update and how it may work sometimes. How could I do this on a T400 safely and where could I find the new driver? Thank you

    It the battery is older than a year, that's probably a failure.  replace a driver should not make a difference.
