HP PAVILLION DV6000 REPORTS BATTERY NOT CHARGING
Problems :
HP Pavilion DV6000 battery gauge says "6% available (plugged in, not charging)"
I followed these steps:
(1) have AC power adaptor connected and Vista running
(2) remove hp battery
(3) reconnect hp pavilion dv6000 battery pack
now says "6% available (plugged in, charging)"
a few minutes later, it says
"100% available (plugged in, charging)"
then a minute later it says
"6% available (plugged in, charging)"
Solution #1
Two possible problems for this -
1: one side of the DC ground is not conntected to the rest of the system, so no circuit is complete to the charging section.
CHARGING Circuit issue
2: bad power controller chip (MAXIM IC) or zener diode in that circuit, maybe bad
Solution #2
Any one with a HP Pavillion 6000 series, who is having certain tech difficulties should go to HP page and search for extended service warranties to see if your system qualifies. I had an issue with my wireless driver and all I had do was to first turn your system completly OFF, then remove the dv6000 lithium battery, then remove the middle cover (underneath Lap Top) and then remove the wireless card. (You will see it connected to two small cables) remove the cables and the small screws and remove the card and then reinserted the card and close the cover -do remember where the two cables go- . Then turn on your system, -do not put the hp dv6000 battery yet- and go to control panel/ device manager/ look for network adaptor, and see if you see your lan card, once this is done reconnect your pavilion dv6000 battery. If you don't then contact HP they will fix it for free, even if your warranty expire. They will even pick up your postage!.
Solution #3
The correct solution is not buy an HP notebook computer. I have been traveling for work with a computer for almost 20 years now. I have carried a lot of different brands of computers. I have never had a laptop battery last just 1 year UNTIL now. And to add to the insult this computer is one used almost exclusively by my wife who only takes it to her business and home, not in an airplane. So it has been well taken care of. I just called HP - no go on any help from them.
My solution - no more HP computers for my family and I can no longer recommend their brand of laptop. This one will be replaced within the next 12 months.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI received a HP 6104eu from my father-in-law. After I swaped the original keyboard to brasilian one (ABNT2) and bought a new 6 cell battery I've discovered this very common issue, on these notebooks Battery Charging Problem.
In my case, the notebook works perfectly, but with when I remove the cord, the battery starts to drained, as usual, and at normal rate.
But, if I reconnect the cord, the notebook continues to drain the power from the battery until there is no more energy to sustain the notebook.
It is necessary to turn off the computer, remove the battery, turn on the computer, and after the windows in on, I connect the battery, so it starts to charge.
Another issue is if you turn off the computer and the cord isn´t plugged in. The battery carries on being drained. If a start the computer one week later, there will be no charge.
1) If you consider the above information, where do you think is the problem, in the MAXIM IC or onm zener diode?
2) Could you show the correct location of these two components?
3) How can I verify which is the bad component by myself?
