Hello,

This information is from Sony Vaio support website:

- Remove the battery from the VAIO and check the battery and the VAIO for damage, dirt or corrosion on the battery connectors
- Re-insert the battery and make sure the battery is well inserted and locked
- If possible, test the VAIO with another battery of the same type to see if the problem is caused by the battery itself. If the problem lies with the battery, you may want to consider purchasing a new battery.
If you are unsure where the problem lies, or have additional questions, please contact VAIO Support.

SOURCE: SONY VAIO BATTERY CHARGING

This is not a problem, this is a designed function to increase battery life. To adjust this, go to "vaio control centre", and then power management. Inside this is battery care, here you can adjust the settings or de-activate this function.

SOURCE: how long should battery for a sony vaio-ns pc/laptop last?charge?

battery life is always dependent on what "settings" you have for the "power" (the icon of the battery, next to the clock), and also how do you use the system. for example if you use it gaming kiss you battery lasting goodbye, if you use it for business, and like your screen very bright, your battery drains faster, if you are using you laptop and NOT using the wireless (not browsing the internet wirelessly), turn that wireless OFF, and ON when only you need it. BUT typically 2 hours tends to be fair among laptops. (some of them claim to last 8 hours, but again we might be talking mac here).
are u supposed to keep battery plugged in? well, if you are in the office, i would say yes, since u never know when u need to leave and need it on the go.
would you wait until battery is almost drained and then recharge? I would not recommend it. note, if you do, make sure you allow enough time for "warning" before you computer goes to hybernate, or just shut down (settings in the power settings, icon of battery on the bottom right) or from the control panel.
good luck.

SOURCE: charging problem in sony vaio VGN-N220E

sounds more like your dc jack(where you insert your plug into the laptop ) is going bad. If you have a multimeter the first thing to test would be your charger to make sure it isnt faulty. If the charger is fine then it is most certainly the dc jack. Replacing the dc jack is best to be left to someone who specializes in that kind of repair but if you know how to solder it may be something that you can do yourself. click here for more info on dc jacks.

SOURCE: My battery on my sony vaio model pcg7v2l will not charge

Just a quick idea, try going & setting your BIOS to optimised defaults.
Oh, just one Question & what do you mean by freezing it?
please don't tell me it's what i think it means,you've never gone & done something stupid like put it in a freezer have you. NO,just ignore me mate coz surely common scene would have stopped you.
BUT:
if you have then that's probably it deferentially fucked.

Battery in my VAIO not recognized

The battery may be dead. How old is it? A battery has a "lifecycle" of sorts, just so many charge/discharge cycles.

Try A Hard Reset

Remove the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord from your Sony Vaio laptop, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to discharge any residual current inside the laptop.

This clears your RAM and is like a hardware reset.

Replace the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord
and turn your laptop on.

If that does't work try removing ram and reinstall. Sometime this works with these laptops.

My "sony vaio vgn txn15p"

if your Sony is older then 3 yrs I urge you to get a new battery. Make it last longer by draining the battery and charging it up everyday. This gives it a work out and helps it not get lazy.

I get the message ''Battery Low'' if I have connected the SONY VAIO to a ower supply

If you connect a Sony Vaio to a power supply, and the screen says 'Battery Low' on the lower right hand corner, and it does not go away over several hours of charging, then it could be a bad battery that needs to be replaced.

Laptop won't charge

You might need a new battery....you could try removing the battery, plug laptop into ac and restarting. Or you might need a new DC power jack. If you wiggle the cord where it plugs into the laptop, and it starts to charge normally, then the DC power jack needs replacing. http://www.insidemylaptop.com/take-apart-sony-vaio-vgn-s360p-replace-broken-power-jack/

Power chord problem

(1) Does the machine work with the cord plugged, if so it is the battery or the charger circuit at fault

(2) If it does not work then there is either a break in the cable where it enters the plug which plugs into the back of the laptop or the power supply has failed

Laptop Battery Wont Hold Charge

Hi there.
Chances are that one of the cells in the battery is faulty causing it to not charge up, if the laptop runs ok on AC power only then you have to replace the battery, try get a battery that you know works and try that.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!
