HP PAVILLION DV6000 REPORTS BATTERY NOT CHARGING

Reinstalling the power management software has just fixed it for me, i have a dv6552. 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).

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 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.

Two possible problems for this -

DC JACK Issue
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

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 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 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 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!.

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 battery problems were fixed. The battery led always blinking every time and the battery didn't charge. Now it's ok !

I had the same problem and last night it would not conect to the internet then a friend to it home and found a website stating that is is not anything we have done it is an internal fault with the laptop if it is the same serial number and model number and all you could do was contact hp. Will post the website address later. Hope this helps. Because i done the same took it back to the seller and said it was not working and all the did was gave me a new battery but it not looks like it is the laptop its self.

The problems i had are battery not holding a charge, not contecting to wireless internet, laptop not being able to back up and a few other things. I would recommend to anyone not to buy an hp laptop they are just a waste of time i have had so much problems with my one and it is driving me nuts.

The BIOS update sorta fixed the issue for me, which was annoying, the battery now charges but doesnt always report the charge correctly in MCE 2005 so I had to set it to shut down while it had a little more juice in it.

Word of warning, avoid sending it to HP if you can, as once serviced the warranty resets in 90 days...basically HP is trying to patch its bad hardware which is prone to overheating with a BIOS fix to make the fans run constantly at a low level... instead of turning on and running noisey when the CPU is real hot.

Ultimately the hardware is faulty, and most of these machines will probably have total failure in 2 years... if your running Vista and not MCE 2005 the failure rate will be higher as Vista is more graphics intensive.

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

Well...I have had the same problem with my DV6109. When the battery completely discharges due to lack of use and charging, it gets stuck at 0% and the red X appears across the battery.

I 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 battery. Power it back up and enter Windows. Then, re-insert the battery.

Works for me!

I threw out a battery because it wouldnt charge, but the same problem occurred after a couple months with a new battery.

Basically, power down the laptop and then remove the AC adapter plug. Remove the battery, perhaps wait a minute. Then put the battery back in and then plug in the AC adaptor plug. You then should see the charger light come on showing the 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 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?!

Take the battery and send it to HP simple.... They will test it and send you a refurbished or new on back if it's bad. Very simple. Then if you want ask the tech guy if you should flash your BIOS.... If thats something that sounds major to you, then you might just have to send them the laptop for a few days for them to do it... Or call your local computer tech to flash the bios. It's very simple. so A) send them the battery, B) Flash the bios. Stop reading all these posts to have you buy a new battery...

good hp dv6000 battery ,you must choose a good place to buy ,see this http://www.goodlaptopbattery.co.uk

Why can't the battery be charged?

1. The battery has no voltage.
2. The charger has no output electric current.
3. Low charging efficiency due to external cause

Solutions to the problem:

1. Test whether the charger has voltage and output electric current or not.
2. Check if the charger is well contacted with battery.
3. Activate the battery with voltage and current 1.5 times higher than those of the battery. (Use this method only when the battery can't be charged.)

hi,
As i know, after 2 years of being plugged in constantly, the battery could be near end of life. Better to unplug the computer and let the battery run down every couple of weeks. Or better yet, remove the battery if computer is plugged in for extended periods.
If your battery has presented serious issues, as leak or excessive hot, i advice
to buy a new battery for you dv6000.

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 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.

I ve had the same garbage problem with my battery as well, first i noticed that my battery performance significantly decreased as in i would unplug the ac when the batt was fully charged and i would only get maybe 8 or 9 minutes to use the damn thing with power settings on power saver!! Plus all i was doin was playing music. then it went to 4 or five minutes, then it stopped charging altogether all this happened within a two month period i tried reinstalling the drivers, plugging it in to different outlets all kinds of crazy sh#t!! unfortunately my warranty ran out so i just took out the damn battery!! Recently i had to do a system restore because of antivirus 2008/09 something told me to try putting back in the battery since all the factory settings/progs had been restored and what do you know battery is just fine for now at this very moment it is charging and device man says the battery is "functioning properly" dont know about performance issues just yet if i have any i will make another post.

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.
