Laptop Only Charges When Turned Off

Since a couple of weeks my laptop only charges when shut down or in sleep mode. When I plug it in when it's turned on, the charging light turns orange and the battery icon says 'plugged in not charging' but after a few seconds the light turns white and the 'plugged in not charging' disappears. Mar 19, 2013 my ipad (2nd generation) suddenly stopped charging. The charger is not the problem as it still charges my iphone. I then used my iPad charger to charge my iPad but it still won't work. I plugged it in my laptop and I get nothing. I can only charge it if it's turned off and I don't know why this is happening.

Charging

One of the advantages of laptops is that they are easy to carry and can work for hours on their own batteries anytime, anywhere. However, we often encounter some strange problems,such as the HPlaptop battery drains to 0% after shutdown, which has a great impact on your work. The following is a description of the solution to the power drain fast of HP notebook after shutdown.



Part 1: Why Does My HP Laptop Battery Drain When Off

After the notebook is turned off, the battery power loss is fast, and it may drop by a few percent or ten percent when it is only placed for several hours, which is much higher than the expected. In fact, mainly for the following two reasons:

1. The 'Wake on LAN'
It is enabled on in the notebook; this feature will allow the computer to remain active even if it is turned off.
You can disable Wake-on-LAN test in Device Manager-> Network Card Properties-> Advanced-> shutdown Wake-On-Lan


2. A laptop with a USB Charging Port is still in use after shutdown.

For these two reasons, I have summarized two solutions, I hope to help you for hp pavilion battery drain when turned off:

1. Turn off Wake on LAN

1.1 Open 'Device Manager' - 'Network Adapter', right click on the item of the network adapter to be set, select 'properties'

1.2 Select the 'power management'- 'allow computer to turn off this device to save power' and uncheck it;

1.3 Select 'Advanced' to disable the 'Wake-up' option.




Note: If this option is checked, any activity on the network will consume the battery without the power adapter.


2. Disconnect the USB device

Many models of notebooks will allow the USB interface to charge the mobile device when it is turned off or in sleep. USB interface with this feature will print a lightning sign next to the port. Enter BIOS, find Always USB or WAKE ON USB, turn off this option.



To avoid hp laptop consume power even after shut it down, please disconnect the device on the USB port with charging function (including USB mouse, keyboard, mobile disk, mobile phone, etc.) after the laptop is turned off.


3. BIOS USB power settings, such as ThinkPad:

First, press F1 on the boot interface to enter the BIOS setup.

Second, go to the config-USB- 'Always on USB' option, set it to Disabled, F10 to save the settings, and exit the reboot. This is to turn off the USB power supply so that it does not power the USB device when it is turned off.


4. Disable fast startup

Sometimes hp battery drain after shutdown may be caused by the quick startup. This feature combines the shutdown and hibernation features to get your PC up and start fast. But it can cause battery drain even when the PC is turned off.


Right click on the battery icon in the lower right corner and select 'Power Options'.

The Power Options window will open. In the left pane, select the 'What the power button do'.

Click 'Change settings that are currently unavailable.'

Disable the 'Turn on fast startup(Recommended)' option and click the 'Save Changes'.


5. Confirm that your computer is completely turned off. Sometimes the computer is shutting down, but you close the top cover of the computer, causing the computer to go sleep, not shut down. In sleeping, the power drain will be more than the full shutdown.

J3 Will Only Charge If Off

Problem: As of yesterday, I tried to plug in my Galaxy J3 to charge and I got no response from my phone. I have tried a different outlet, different charging cords and even went and tried charging it with a car charger. The phone doesn’t react to the chargers. I tried a different battery and still no change. I held the power button and volume down button for 1 minute and still no change. I did however find that if I turn the phone off and plug it in, it will start to charge, and I will get a battery image with a lightning bolt. The image will stay on for approx. 6 seconds and then turn off for approx. 8 seconds. It will then vibrate once and the battery image will come back on. This will continue to repeat itself, and eventually, it will fully charge. I let it do this overnight and in the morning it had 100% battery. I am not sure of the android of the phone.

Solution: It looks like the problem is caused by a faulty hardware component, possibly the power IC. You can however troubleshoot this issue by checking if an app you downloaded is causing the problem by backing up your phone data then doing a factory reset.

J3 Will Not Charge

Problem:My Samsung Galaxy J3 died overnight while on the charger. When I went to sleep, the phone had well over 50%. I set it on charger and went to sleep. I woke up and it was dead. Will not boot. Will not safe boot. Will not respond to charging in any form (plugged in or on a computer USB). I left it plugged in for over an hour this morning with no response (no small jolt as it is plugged in, nothing on the screen). This has happened before and I have just waited it out and put my SIM card in an old phone for a few hours/days/weeks. I was just hoping to find a solution to expedite this process. I don’t remember which version of Android I’m running, but it is probably close to the most recent.

Solution: The best thing you can do right now is to clean the charging port of the phone using a can of compressed air. Make sure to remove any dirt or debris stuck in this port. Once the port has been cleaned try using a different charging cord and wall charger to charge the phone for at least 20 minutes. If the phone does not charge then try charging it from a computer USB port.

If the phone still remains unresponsive then this is most likely caused by a faulty hardware component. The best thing you can do right now is to bring the phone to a service center and have it checked.
