Battery plugged in, not charging

[sbs1025]

they deleted what I wrote above, but anyways I have done all this over and over again. I'm an IT specialist...once in awhile I get baffled but I guess what it comes down to is this computer is a piece of garbage and is only good for..well..not sure. I think I will destroy it with a hammer for some good fun. Overall, I give this computer the Pavilion dm1 beatsaudio a -5 out of 10.

Anybody want to see how great this product really is?

I mean as much as I love tape, never thought I would have to use it on my laptop hinges that are no longer there!!!! I can't even shut the laptop closed now and the whole thing is just busted. I'm about to take a hammer to it, throw it in the ocean, maybe toss it in the road and hope it gets destroyed but a sewage truck, anything!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,

I have the same problem with my dm1-4175sa. Here`s one suggestion:

1. Start up the notebook. You see the messege - plugged in, not charging.

2. Remove the battery and wait for a while. After a few seconds the notebook shows - plugged in (no battery)

3. Reinsert the battery and wait again a couple of seconds.

After this steps I was nice surprised - pluged in, charging!

Sorry,

@georgivt, I posted a lasting solution procedure on the previous page. Check it and liberate your laptop.

Hello Damilarelr,

thanks for the replay. I have done all 14 steps from the previous page - but no luck for me...

There is one more thing - bacause of this problem I`m now with fresh installed Windows 8(problem still exists) and there is no 'COMPOSITE BATTERY' ( just AC Adaptor and Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery - both removed)

I think the bios is the problem, because when I remove the battery and reinsert it again the notebook start to charge normally, but after restart the same problem.

Problem noted! I will come up with a solution as soon as I find one.
