here is a good resource I found:

Solution for HP Pavilion DV6000 Battery Not Charge

Reinstalling the power management software has just fixed it for me. Go to device manager and under batteries, unistall the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery. Go to Actions on the menu bar and select ’scan for hardware changes’. It will reinstall it and hopefully start charging immediately (mine did anyway).
If your HP Pavillion dv6000 has a battery that won’t charge yet still turns on when plugged in, turn off the laptop and remove the battery then wait for around 30 seconds, re-insert it and turn it back on, the charging update should say, plugged in, charging.
I made the bios update, and works for me. My Dv6000 battery problems were fixed. The battery led always blinking every time and the battery didn’t charge. Now it’s ok !

If it is still under warranty you can chat with an online hp tech who will check it out over the internet and send you a replacement for free. the dv 6000 laptops have a recall on a few problems and there is a bios update to fix it before it happens but will not correct it after the fact the recall on specific problems extends the warranty to 24 months http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01087277&lc=en&cc=us&lang=en&dlc=en&product=3245619 should get you to the warranty page.
Just got it to charge again.While the laptop is powered and in Windows XP, press and hold the POWER button until it dies. Then, remove the dv6000 laptop battery. Power it back up and enter Windows. Then, re-insert the battery.
So I always remove the Hp dv6000 battery after I have powered down the laptop, and I have not had any battery problems since then!
I had the same issue my fix was a new cmos battery that was only $10.00 and install updated bios software from HP
I had the dv6000 battery problem where it showed my battery NOT CHARGING. I took it apart because my QUICKPLAY would not work either and the QUICKPLAY lights stayed on even after I shut down the laptop. I found that the black ribbon cable on the right (the other looks the same but you can see it is for the power button) was slightly kiltered in the flat socket it goes to underneath the area where the quickplay button is. I straightened it out and made sure it was pushed all the way in and locked and put it all back together and everything worked perfectly after that. About a month before that my POWER and SOUND didn`t work. I did the same thing to fix those problems. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THOSE CABLES EXACTLY RIGHT in there, IT MAY JUST BE YOUR PROBLEM TOO.
Some people dont realise that you should avoid short charges and discharges, if your batery does not go above 40% mabe its charge memory thinks its full. to fix this problem let the batery run fully down, then charge it all the way again. try it a few times if it doesnt work. and you have to go all the way, not let windows go into hibernation. to do that you need to get the batery low, then boot to some boot disk and let it sit till the batery dies.
HP has posted BIOS updates to address battery problems as well as the auto startup on some.If you will post the full model number,someone can help you find your driver/updates page.

Hope this helps, please rate! ^_^

There could be a possibility that the battery already quit working. You need to perform a test. Try using different battery to see if the battery is already defective or not.
I believe that there are some computer shops that will let you borrow a battery for testing purpose.

Have a great day!

How To Extend Your HP Pavilion DV6000 Laptop Battery's Life?

Use the correct recharging procedure for your HP Pavilion DV6000 Battery . Only use the power cord that came with your HP Pavilion DV6000 Battery Replacement or an authorized replacement battery.
Follow correct maintenance for your HP Pavilion DV6000 Laptop Battery when not in use. Don't leave it in direct sunlight, areas where it will be exposed to extreme temperatures such as car trunks.
Use the power management features of your Replacement Laptop Battery for HP Pavilion DV6000 , the system will run at lower processor speeds when enabling power management features and it will go into "sleep" mode faster when inactive.
Buy COMPAQ/HP Battery with internal processors such as Li-Ion batteries.
Non Li-Ion batteries must be fully discharged and then recharged every 2-3 weeks.
If you don't use your Pavilion DV6000 Laptop Battery for a period of time, you must fully discharge then recharge the COMPAQ/HP Battery.

Good luck with your laptop battery.
