    Battery Not Charging


    My power icon in the Sys Tray says "98% Avail- Plugged in but Not Charging" WTH does THAT mean. I've been charging my phone on it ever since I got this piece of trash, even last night, and I've never seen that msg. Of course, the useless broad, Contana couldn't tell me anything either. PLEEZE HELP??*Mad*Mad*Mad*Mad*Mad

    You can't only way is to unplug the phone.

    But don't worry about the battery and the charging. It stops the normal charging routine if the battery is fully charged and the dock will switch to a different charging pattern, that will keep the battery charged but will not overload it.

    The dock will switch to trickle charging if your battery is fully charged

  3. Power cable plugged in on LG gram 15 Laptop charging to 80% then stop charging any further. (plugged in, not charging)

    Anyone has the same problem with your new LG Gram 15 laptop with battery charging. My computer with the power cable plugged in to charge the battery. I notice that the battery charged up to 80% then stop charging any further. The battery indicates 80% (plugged
    in, not charging). The battery won't charge any further but it won't drop with the power cable plugged.

    could anyone advise the solution of this matter to enable the battery fully charged for longer lasting.

    reboot your PC and see if the message goes away
     
  5. There are several reasons a laptop battery having trouble charging:

    1. Unplug the laptop and wait for a second then plug it on different outlet.
    2. Examine the entire cord,there should not be any tear. If it smell like burnt plastic then immediately change it.
    3. Shut down your laptop, then unplug it and remove the battery.

    Not sure about ASUS, but I do know that Dell use a chip in their chargers now, to make sure you use an authentic Dell charger. These chips go bad, and your laptop will stop charging or charge at a very slow rate - so slow, that the only way to get the thing charged is to shut it down and leave it plugged in overnight.

    And, batteries going bad, will stop charging.

    That sounds normal. After charging many batteries will not recharge again until they fall under a certain percentage (90 or 95%). This is to make them last longer. Even if you are running on mains power your battery will drain a little each day and will eventually go under the threshold and charge up again.

    If you want to be sure it is working as it should, disconnect the power cable, run it on battery until it is 50% or so and then plug it in again.
