HP PAVILLION DV6000 REPORTS BATTERY NOT CHARGING

Question:
I noticed that my laptop power stayed at 6% even though I was on power for over two hours. I checked and noticed this…plugged in, not charging. Please help

Solution:
I threw out a hp pavilion dv600 battery because it wouldnt charge, but the same problem occurred after a couple months with a new dv6000 battery.

Basically, power down the laptop and then remove the AC adapter plug. Remove the hp battery, perhaps wait a minute. Then put the battery back in and then plug in the hp pavilion dv6000 AC adapter plug. You then should see the charger light come on showing the pavilion dv6000 battery is charging. Perhaps wait a few minutes before powering on the laptop to confirm that the battery is indeed charging. The problem seems to be in the logic (not sure where, if it is the software driver, etc.) when the laptop is on, it doesn’t get a charge. But with the laptop off, plugging in a battery after it has been removed – it works with a simpler hp pavilion dv6000 charger system that doesn’t use the computers’s main CPU.

Also second , it is clear with my 6000, that the battery can discharge all the way after some time when powered down even though it had say 50% or more! This is well beyond the normal battery idle loss over time and I suspect the laptop has turned on in some way to drain the battery. So I always remove the battery after I have powered down the laptop, and I have not had any battery problems since then!

Finally, I agree with one posting I saw. The Pavillon HP laptops battery problems are truly the pits and may be enough for people to stop buying HP laptops! Where has all the engineering gone at HP?!

- Are you sure everyone is:
1) Powering down the laptop.
2) Remove dv6000 battery and power adaptor
3) Wait a few minutes.
4) Plug power back in and then plug back in pavilion dv6000 battery.
5) See if charger light (blue light in front) comes back on.

If not re-try this.

When charger light comes on, then power up laptop and check for charging.

This had to be done for me with laptop powered off.

Also, if you get it fixed and battery charged, remove battery after powered down
as it seems to discharge after not using, more than it should for being idle!
