first i would advice you check ur charger cos the light on it doesnt indicate its good. also check that u are using the specified charger then from what i know of HP laptops (thats alot too), there should be a light indicator that comes on when ur laptop is plugged. if this light is on when the laptop is plugged in, then the battery is most likely the problem |

let me teach u a trick, when the charger is plugged iin, put something under the gharger close to the charging poet of the laptop. the object must be large to the extent that it raises the laptop up via the charger. i hope this makes sense to u. i do this when my laptop doesnt want to charge |

wow, all these brilliant responses! @ OP, yes, if you remove the battery and plug just the charger in the wall jack, it will work. try that first and if the laptop powers on, then you know there's nothing wrong with your charger. the next thing you want to do is try to calibrate the battery. you can do this in two ways: 1. charge the battery fully and run the laptop using the battery till it's completely discharged (i know you said it only lasts an hour). the laptop should completely shutdown. charge it again (100%) and run it on battery till it's completely discharged again. repeat it the third time and if the battery is still not holding charge too long, then it's time to replace it. 2. some notebooks have a battery calibrating utility built-in the BIOS settings, use that if your laptop has one (you might want to consult your PCs manual to verify that). Note: if you want your battery to last long, dim your laptop's LCD screen when you're using the battery. you can also configure the power settings on your laptop (don't know what OS u're using, so i can't help you there) to maximize your battery life. good luck. Peace! skipo87: thanks for sharing your trick, it really makes a loooooottttt of sense. ![]() |

mayb u shd run a battery health check i know hp laptops have that facility, my batt doesnt last as long as it used to cos, one day i used it all up and as usual it hibernated when the batt power was gettin too low. PHCH restored power, i switched it on while bootin, power went out and the lappy was still on. Expectin it to go off but it didn't insted the battery read 0% and it was on for close to 10 or 15 mins. i can say that was the end of my good battery life. from that time, it only used to last 30 mins or there about as against the 2, 3hrs battery life, |
