HP Recommended


Issue is why is battery holding at 11%, plugged in yet not charging? Is there anything I can do to remedy this? What may cause this etc . . . ?

As of the morning of 10/07/2016 Indicates Battery at 11% Not Charging.

I plugged in last night during the 9:00 pm hour mountain time. 

After plugging in, I was running Utorrent 3.4.9 overnight downloading some files.

A driver installation occurred yesterday for NVIDIA GEForce Game Ready Driver 373.06 Release date 10/05/2016 - seemd very flawless and without incident.

I have two charging cables. Both were working fine yesterday.  Both are plugged in different location on a diferent circuit. Surge protected by Belkin.

Hi @gdcgray,

 

Welcome to the HP forums! It is a great way to engage, post questions and find resolutions by working with specialists in the HP community. I understand that you have a battery related issue with an error “plugged in, not charging” and the battery does not hold any charge at all. It’ll be a pleasure to assist you with this.

 

A commendable job was done by you by performing some basic troubleshooting, before posting your question in the HP forums. It is always a great pleasure to work with tech-savvy and technically sound customers like you. Kudos to you for that. I am amazed at your technical skills and levels of technical knowledge.

 

It definitely looks like the battery requires a replacement. However, let’s first establish that it is the battery and not the battery controller slot on the motherboard that is faulty.

Please perform these steps.

Please perform a hard reset first. Steps:

  • Power down the computer and unplug the charger. Then remove the battery only if it is a removable one.
  • Hold down the power button of the unit for 15 seconds to discharge static electrical charges inside the machine.
  •  
  • Replace the battery and reconnect the charger
  • Please try to calibrate the battery.
  • Please perform a bios update from this link  http://hp.com/drivers
  • Please run battery tests from this link : http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03467259

Please run all the component tests and if the battery fails please make a note of the failure code.

 

Hope this helps. Please let me know how this goes. I genuinely hope the issue gets resolved without  hassles and the computer works great. Thanks for being a part of the HP community. Please let me know if this helps, and if it does, please mark this post as an “Accepted  Solution”. Kudos would also be appreciated greatly for my efforts to help. You could simply click the “Thumbs Up” Button.

Thanks and have a blessed week ahead!

Thank you DavidSMP,

Upon completion of your first instruction,  (Power down the computer and unplug the charger. Then remove the battery only if it is a removable one. Hold down the power button of the unit for 15 seconds to discharge static electrical charges inside the machine. Replace the battery and reconnect the charger), the problem was resolved.  Battery is charging.


I have also updated BIOS as instructed.

I have updated HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)

I have learned various ways to test and calibrate battery. I will do so shortly.

I have gratefully saved and bookmarked all the resources you have provided.

Thank you again for such concise and helful response.
