My laptop battery charges to 0% and then my computer says "plugged in, not charging."How can I fix this?
For this first remove battery(if it's removable one) wait for some time say 2 minutes. Now plug your charger & see if the device turn s on or not. If not then remove charger & put your battery back in it. Now plug it in & check whether it works or not.If not then there might be some static charge in it, so to remove that unplug battery & keep holding the power button (don't plug charger). Now check if direct plugging charger works or not & if not then try by putting battery & check it again.If not & if the battery is non removable one then visit the service centre.
Plugged in, not charging?
So, I got an Acer Aspire 7741z-5731 for Christmas '10. I had problems with the fan not running right, so I took it back, and got a new one. Now im having problems with this new one! Ive only had it for about 3 months now and last night I noticed it said 3% Plugged in not charging. I searched all throughout google, and was still left with nothing. Everything I tried did not work. I tried Turning it off, taking out the battery, uninstalling and reinstalling the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery & that didnt work either! I really dont want to have to get yet another, computer and I certainly do not want to buy a new battery. Any more ideas?

Thanks for A2ATry the following and hope that it fixes.Check if there’s any BIOS update available related to battery for your laptop model.Download and try to update but before updating perform below steps:-Power off the system.Disconnect any external peripherals (flash drives, printers, external hard drives) from the computer.Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the battery from it.Press and hold the power button for 20 to 30 seconds to release the residual charge from the laptop.Reconnect the battery and the AC Adapter.Once the system is powered on and booted properly, re-seat the battery. Check if you still get the error or not.Boot the system to BIOS, tapping the F2 key on the Dell logo screen when you power on the system.Press F9 key to load BIOS defaults.

Plugged in, not charging?
Laptop battery problems are quite common among owners of all brands of notebooks. On average, laptop batteries last one to three years. Their exact lifespan depends on several factors, such as how much you use the batteries, the number of charge-discharge cycles and the quality of the batteries. Lithium-ion batteries begin to lose the ability to hold a charge over time. Before you replace a laptop battery, consider that there may be other reasons that the laptop is not working properly. You may be able to recharge the battery instead. Difficulty: Moderate Instructions 1 Determine if the laptop battery is defective. While less than 1 percent of batteries are defective, the possibility is still there. If the battery is new and only charges some of the way, it may just require a BIOS update to charge fully. New batteries that refuse to charge at all may be defective. Purchase a new laptop battery to replace the defective one. 2 Test the laptop power adapter to see if it's faulty. Run the laptop directly from the laptop power adapter and without the battery. If the laptop does not work with the adapter plugged in, the adapter is dead and you will need to replace it. The laptop battery may refuse to charge if the adapter is faulty. Charge the battery with the laptop turned off. 3 Insert the laptop battery into another laptop to test it. If the laptop battery charges in another laptop, the laptop's motherboard may be bad. Replacing a motherboard in a computer can be very expensive. If the cost to fix the computer is not worth the cost of replacing the motherboard, consider purchasing a new laptop. 4 Reinstall the battery to ensure all connectors latch properly. The latch mechanism that holds the laptop battery should click into place. If the latch does not close, remove the battery and examine the compartment for signs of damage. 5 Troubleshoot the BIOS to determine if there is a hardware problem. Turn on the laptop and immediately enter BIOS setup by holding down the "Del" and "F1" or "F2" keys, depending on the make and model of the laptop. When the BIOS screen appears, see how long it takes for the battery to charge down. If the battery does not last as long as the BIOS setup, a hardware failure may be the problem.
Laptop plugged in, not charging. Gateway NV59, with windows 7. Help?
I turned on my laptop after it went to hibernate automatically while it was unplugged, and it said plugged in, not charging. I've tried taking out the battery, and putting it back in, that didn't work. I also restarted it, that didn't work either. Help?
How to fix 'plugged in, not charging'?
I have Samsung RC710-S01UK laptop. I replaced my old 4400mAh battery (because it is dead) with completely new 7800mAh one and Windows 7 says 'plugged in, not charging'. I tried uninstalling battery drivers in Device Manager and that did not help. Laptop can boot up to desktop without any battery, so, charger should be working. My AC Adapter says: Input - 100-240V~1.5A, 50-60Hz Output - 19V, 3.16A Do I need new AC Adapter? If so, I would love an URL to one in Amazon.co.uk Thank you.
My Lenovo laptop is plugged in but not charging. What could be the reason?
I have also faced this problem with my Dell Laptop. I have done a lots of research that time to overcome with this problem. First check that if the plugging wire is loose or not. If it is tightly connected then check whether the Laptop is getting charged with another charger/adaptor. This may be the problem of Adaptor of Charger also. If the Laptop is getting charged properly with other charger. Then replace your charger. Otherwise there may be problem in the software. Please check whether the BIOS is fully updated or not. If the BIOS is updated then do one thing I am telling the STEPs note it down:-NOTE: Don’t Uninstall BATTERY ADAPTAR uninstall CONTROL BATTERY METHODDon’t worry about that. It’s just a controller problem. Try Uninstalling the “Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Battery Method” in the Device Manger ->Batteries. If the Battery section is not seen in the Device Manager do the following: Control Panel-> Power Options and CHOOSE the POWER SAVER MODE and Check the Batteries section will appear in Device Manager. Plugged the charging cable into the Laptop and then Uninstall it. After that don’t shut down the Laptop remove the Battery directly. After 1–2 mint. insert the battery again. And in the device manager click the “Action” and Select the “Scan for Hardware Change” and See the PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED. If not Try RESTARTING THE LAPTOP it will GUARANTEE solved the problem if u have not problem in your wire or Battery.
