Pease help!! battery issue. "plugged in, not charging"

[sacker4632]

I have a HP G32 that is 9 months old. Found that the AC adapter was getting very hot and then the laptop would not charge the battery. I had to shut down, remove the battery, wait a few minutes then restart. Everything seems to be working again. I have had this happen a few times and will check with HP service to see if there is a HW problem with the charging system.

Hi,

I had my HP G60-243DX notebook on all nite and the battery died. Plugged in the adapter to rechage the notebook the following day and the notebook did not come back on. When the power is pressed the only light that is blinging for a couple seconds is the center LED on the front left hand side (the light with the lightening sign). I need some assistance on rectifing this problem, thanks in advance....

Hi

I had exactly the same problem but from a different cause. I allowed the battery on my HP TC4400 to run out completely. When I plugged it in some hours later it would not charge and would not boot. All I got was eight yellow flashes on the charging indicator  - the one with the lightning sign!

After trying all kinds of things to get enough power into the machine to allow it to boot I finally had success with the old standby for charging problems. Remove the battery and then try to turn the machine on (of course, nothing will happen!). Hold the power switch on for 10 seconds - more if you feel like it. Release the power switch. Replace the battery. Plug in the power supply. Allow to charge for a few minutes (more is better), even if the charging light does not come on. Then turn on the power switch. It will likely boot OK. Then leave running on AC power for a few hours, even if the charging light does not come on.  If you wish you can check the Power Meter tab in Power Options in the Control Panel. Mine ran Ok on AC power and, after a few hours, the battery started to charge. Once the battery was fully recharged it returned to normal operation, except the charging indicator still behaves strangely.

Hope it helps for you.

Thank you very much for your suggestion to clean the plug-in slot. I rolled a piece of white paper and inserted it. No black came out, but the computer is now charging. I hope it lasts. It is now fully charged. Thanks again for the help. I really do appreciate it.

I had the same problem but it only occurred intermittently. The problem was solved when I bent the power cord's prongs so they gripped the wall outlet more tightly.

I had the same problem with my wife's hp 620. All I had to do was to shut it down, unplug it, disconnect the power cord and leave it overnight (as suggested on this forum). The next morning the laptop was plugged in and charging normally!

I guess even hp laptops can become 'overcharged' and need a good night's rest sometimes.
