Hey, um i plug in my compaq presario cq56-115dx and it says plugged in, not charging, can you help?

Other expert is right--if not charger may be a loose socket where it plugs in or even a bad battery is possible.

The rechargeable battery needs to be replaced, the old one is just about exhausted. Go to www.ebay.com Type: make and model of laptop, refine search to battery, and I recommend sticking with new genuine.

contact hp tech support and give them the serial no and product no of the notebook...battery connectors have gone bad

Buy a new charger. Ebay, very inexpensive.

When batteries fail, they usually lose the cells inside them, which means that the cell is no longer able to function as a holding cell for power and therefore cannot do its job anymore, when a battery fails to hold and refuses charging it is bad and needs to be recycled. The flashing is telling you to purchase a new battery. The larger the number of cells in the battery, the longer and better it will perfrom,,RE: 6 cell, 9 cell, 12 cell.

Um, in control panel, look for devices. Configure your hardware and sound.

Remove the battery and plug laptop power into the wall (or power strip).
Turn ON laptop without battery.
It should start.
After Windows has settled, put battery back in and let it charge up.

Hope this helps!

YOU NEED TO RECALIBRATE YOUR BATTERY. FIRST UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND LET YOUR BATTERY RUN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 5%. THEN PLUG YOUR POWER CORD BACK UP AND LET IT RE-CHARGE THE COMPUTER. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU FREQUENTLY UNPLUG YOUR AC ADAPTER YOUR BATTERY FORGETS HOW MUCH POWER IS ACTUALLY AVAILABLE IN CONJUNCTION TO WHAT THE BATTERY METER IS SHOWING. RECALIBRATING THE BATTERY WILL RE-SET THE METER WITH THE BATTERY.

you should get your laptop plug fixed for sure.

dear N9YK

you can follow this

If you have a loose connection where you plug in the power on your laptop, or it works intermittently, you could have a bad dc jack. Symptoms

• Move the power plug and the laptop loses connection
• Broken or cracked dc jack
• Laptop won't charge but worked on battery
• Power LED and battery LED flicker when the adapter tip is moved
• Battery won't charge
• Sparks come out the back of the laptop

Why does this happen?

• Flaw in manufacturer designs
• Use of universal or non-original ac adapter
• Lots of plugging and unplugging of the ac adapter

• Tripping on or pulling the ac adapter cord

or you can check your dc amper in your adaptor

oke



thx
