| | "Plugged in not charging" We have a new HP laptop and we are getting the message "plugged in not charging". After searching the web it seems this is a common problem with Vista. I did not find a solution for it though. Does anyone know a solution or are there just that many bad batterys since vista was launched? thx Jon |

| | Re: "Plugged in not charging" That is my first thought aswell. When I searched it though there were far too many people reporting this same issue, unless there is a large ammount of DOA batteries on the market right now. I will not have the laptop in hand for a few days, but I have to somehow come up with possible fixes for it. The battery or electrical system simply could have issues, but if there is an alternate possibility that someone has run across; it would be great to know.

If the battery is very flat you may have trouble charging it while the computer is on. Try charging with the computer off for 15 minutes and see what happens. |
