Satellite L300 - plugged, but not charging

Hello world

I have a Satellite L300 under Win 7 32 bit
It does not load, so when the AC is removed it will stop.

I tried the power cycle - unplug everything, hold the power button for 30 seconds.
The contacts are clean on the s battery connections and I uninstalled via the control panel and scanned as new hardware.

I checked all of the web, but nothing helped, please could you help?
Don t want to buy a new battery for no reason

Thanks Pindy92

> Don t want to buy a new battery for no reason

Well, in this case, you should visit one of the points of service and need to check the laptop with a new battery.
If it s battery not deliver, then I guess that the problem is related to problems of motherboard, so that would be the worst case

By the way: you are using the latest version of the BIOS on this laptop? Make sure that the latest version of the BIOS is installed. But if the BIOS is up to date, then a new battery should be tested.

  • Satellite L655 - plugged, but not charging

    Hello

    I have an a computer Satellite L655 laptop and it worked very well to the top until there's a week, where all of a sudden it shows the message: 'PLUGGED in NO CHARGE.

    After a bit of troubleshooting, I tried many things including the battery removal and runs directly to the a/c power. Everything seemed normal from a mechanical point of view.

    However, after having also updated the driver software of all 3 components of the battery (found by Device Manager), the only thing that works every time, but is quickly reversed, is actually uninstall 'compatible Microsoft ACPI control method battery'.

    First of all, I don't know what this is... but I can't have to do each day in order to get my laptop to load. I can't always have a power when I need to use my laptop... can someone please help me know what on Earth has happened to my laptop and what I can do to fix it permanently?

    Thank you very much

    Hmm, you could try to remove this compatible Microsoft ACPI control method battery and could change the automatic installation of the driver for the device.
    1. Click Start, right-click computer and then click Properties.
    2. in the list of tasks, click Advanced system settings.
    3. in the System Properties dialog box, click the Hardware tab, and then click Windows Update driver settings.
    4. Select never check for drivers automatically when I connect a device.
    5. click OK twice, and then close the system dialog box.

    Now the driver for control method battery Microsoft ACPI-complaint should not automatically install.

    But I guess this isn't a better solution for you, but probably only system restore would help solve this problem.

    Otherwise, it could be a battery problem and this means that the battery must be replaced.

  • Satellite A500 - plugged, but not charging

    Hey guys, I hope someone can help me with this.

    I bought a Satellite A500 about a year ago. Last night I decided it was time for an upgrade, so I looked at the new a500s. Put my current for sale online. Woke up this morning with a little problem.

    When the power is NOT connected the laptop does NOT start at the top. When I connect the power, while the laptop is still off, the battery charging light lights up for about 10 seconds then turns off. When I boot on windows, it is said 34% remaining on battery, plugged, does not support. I tried every answer google gave me so far, I have even restored my laptop to default.

    Please help me, as for now, my laptop is unsaleable and frankly quite useless.

    See you soon,.
    Erik.

    Hi smokegfx,

    What happens if you try to start Notepad with AC adapter only? You can start the computer?

    No doubt the control of load on the motherboard or the power adapter is damaged, for the battery can t be charged more but it you can test if remove the battery and test it with adapter only.

    I had a Satellite L500D-11R windows 7 - its fine loads (light orange deep) when it is off, but when running, it will be reduced to an orange flashing light and will not load.

    in the taskbar windows says its plugged in but not charging - unplugging and plugging back in cures repeatedly sometimes the problem

    Ive updated the BIOS to V1.50, but it still happens

  • Re: Satellite C660 - 1 3 - number "plugged in, not charging."

    Last year, I bought a portable Satellite C660 - 1 to 3 of the United Kingdom; even today, I'm using the factory settings and running the operating system originally installed Windows 7. Here's the question I started yesterday face to leave:
    -Even when the battery is connected and the laptop running, the power meter shows a decline, with the notification level "plugged in, not charging." The orange LED keeps blinking

    -However, when I completely stopped the laptop, without touching anything anyone (not even touch the adapter or the power cord), the orange LED indicates the battery charging process stops flashing and becomes stable

    -Turn the laptop, for about 1 minute or so, the battery seems to be loading (message of orange LED flashes do not and "clogged, load"). However, soon again the orange LED starts flashing and the message of nuisance comes once again to the top

    A number of things:
    -the battery seems to be working well and load properly when the laptop is stop (in fact, until a few days back, the battery used to show 02:30 hours of time available on 100% charge level)
    is there a problem with the operating system? no idea on that

    can experts help me solve this problem? I really don't want to approach the Service because of the long distance involved.

    concerning
    -Biren

    Hello Biren

    Not sure if I can help you but I would like to give you some advice.

    (1) check if your BIOS is up to date. If Toshiba driver European page provides a newer version, then update the BIOS. In addition, set the default BIOS by pressing F9 and save modified pressing F10.
    (2) try to calibrate the battery. To calibrate the battery you completely discharge the battery and charge it again. Repeat 2-3 times in the line.
    (3) remove the battery and the AC adapter and press the power button / stop (30 sec long) and then connect the two parts and check if the LED begin to blink.

    Finally, I think that the laptop needs to be tested using new, good battery to work. But if the issue still persists, then I guess that your motherboard might be affected.

    d. plug the adapter into the laptop (still remove the battery).

    e. turn on the system and let it fully boot in Windows.

    f. once it arrives on the desktop to launch all startup items. In other words, do not interrupt the boot process until everything is prepared.

    g so go ahead and shut down the computer normally (using the START > turn off computer method).

    h. once the system is turned off, plug the battery back in and turn on the computer.

  • my battery meter is grateful to my battery, but it says that the charger is plugged ing not charging but why dosent it recharge? How can I recharge?

    It is said: 8% available (plugged but not supported)

    Hello

    Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery issues.

    Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
    eraser (do not use this, if your battery is fine slots - just clean up the edges of the knife which fit in)
    them and be careful). Batteries are old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
    Check with the support of the machine system, and many of them have on line forums.

    New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload then less than 30%
    However on a laptop that not extend their life a lot. Best is to use the a/c adapter
    When this is possible.

    I use the free version of BatteryBar to monitor my battery. Click on the green button on the

  • Satellite P850 32Z: battery not charging

    Recently, I had problems with the battery, which means that I need to plug my AC adapter all the time. The battery in the taskbar icon indicates that the battery is 68% and these last days. Placing the cursor on the icon says "plugged in, not charging", and the battery on the laptop light does not illuminate. If I unplug the AC adapter, the laptop shuts down completely.

    I also tried the cold reset following instructions (from the section "Solving a problem" to support)
    1. power off your laptop and unplug the AC adapter
    2. remove the battery from the PC (for models with semi-fixed battery, please follow these instructions)
    3. press the button power for 30 seconds.
    4. then, plug in the adapter without the battery, turn on your computer and start Windows normally
    5. wait 5 min. and then replace the battery on while your laptop is turned on

    In step 4, when I turned on the laptop, the laptop starts and the battery light is on. But then after a few seconds, the battery light turns off and the laptop turns off.

    Someone had this problem?

    I have the same question. I bought a new battery. It worked for about 1 hour from 67 percent and amounting to 100% and then my laptop just died. Now my old battery indicates 0%, no charge, my new battery says 0%, 8 minutes at full load. So I'm a little confused about this and don't know if it's only a battery error. I'm going to service this week, so I know what the problem. I have the Satellite P850 - 33 m

  • Satellite L300-215 - Webcam not working not

    The webcam on my Satellite L300-215 did not work because I downloaded the new software of Toshiba months ago.
    The Chicony webcam is not yet recognized, and it will not install the Toshiba software.

    Two hours with Toshiba technical staff, including their having access remote to my computer, does not solve the problem.
    It seems that this is a very common problem and I tried some of the suggestions on the assignments, but without result.

    Anyone out there have the answer?

    I have two laptops Toshiba, Satellite P200D and Satellite A300, both with webcam and everything works fine. I agree therefore with statement on the very common problem.
    Webcam works well if your laptop is preinstalled with recovery image Toshiba (factory settings)?

  • Qosmio F55-Q502 - charging icon says: plugged in, not charging

    I recently had my Qosmio F55-Q502 repaired by Toshiba.
    Two issues have been addressed, and one is fixed.

    However, the second attempted to decide without success.

    When I try to play multimedia games such as call of duty IV, even if the system is completely loaded, a few minutes the system will begin flashing the "Backlight" and then when I see the loading icon, he says: "plugged in, not charging.»

    This really worries me because I read online many similar questions, but none of the solutions seem to work.
    Having to reboot every time that happens and your in the middle of a game, really STINKS!
    I even had what is happening with SimCity4 which is an old game.

    Any suggestions on this good?
    Did they replace the battery when it was sent to which seems to be what most needs to be done.

    Hello

    If your Qosmio laptop was being repaired, I think that you should not discuss any issue on the forums, but put a pressure on the service and specify every single problem with your laptop.
    Please do because the warranty is still valid and it is now time to clarify everything.

    I am not an expert in hardware, but it sounds to me like some electronic power supply question but I can't say for sure. Speak with the service. Try to clarify this with them. Be nice, be cool and all will be ok.

  • Pavilion g7: Pavilion g7 "plugged in, not charging."

    In general, I keep my laptop plugged into current alternative, whenever I use it and transport mode 'sleep' with the lid closed whenever I'm the take on a trip.  The laptop is 4 years old and the battery is not required to load as it used to, so it's going to go from 100% to 50% when it is dormant for a stay of 6 hours.  I just moved into a new State and left in mode 'sleep' in my laptop for more than 24 hours bag, which (arguably) took the battery up to 0%.  Now that I'm unpacking and save and running, the indicator in the tray system constantly readings "plugged in, not charging" with 8% of battery (but it was 9% yesterday).  However, the laptop turns off immediately every time that I unplug it from the power sector, even with the lid closed mode 'sleep'.  I tried several different outlets and a spare cable load but can not get the battery to start charging.  I know that the battery is old and will need to be replaced, but I suspect it might also be a software failure or sensor because the battery while he was in mode 'sleep' perhaps?  I tried a few other troubleshooting steps online (clean the contacts of the battery and reinstalling it, update drivers to the battery, remove the battery from the Device Manager and reboot) but nothing has fixed.  The laptop still works well on alternating current with the battery removed.  Any ideas to try before giving a shot a spare battery?

    Thank you for joining the Forums of HP Support and welcome @jwenskovitch,
