Hey everyone,
I have a HP Pavilion dv7-1130eg running Vista Home Premium 32-bit.
The problem is that my battery is not detected by the PC. When the problem started, it just said, something like 'CONNECTED, NOT CHARGING' and it was at 0% (sorry if my translations aren't fully correct, I have the Slovak language pack loaded in Vista)
We went to a bunch of electro-shops and service centers and everybody said that the battery is broken. Except at one, they said that MAYBE the computer has something broken so that it can't charge the battery.
Then after a few days...it went changed to 'NO BATTERY DETECTED' and no longer was, 'connected, not charging'.
So what am I supposed to do? HP Battery Check says that there is no battery inside and so does Windows, but PC Wizard 2012 says that there is a battery charged at 255% inside...yeah...255%
I did turn the PC off disconnected it from every thing and took out the battery and held the power button for 30 seconds...nothing!
I did reset the BIOS to defaults...nothing!
I did try to turn on the PC on only battery power...didn't turn on, obviously!
I didn't try to update the BIOS yet.
I hate HP Notebooks...aside from this, it overheats and is extremely laggy (I guess the speed is affected by Vista).
Please help me, thanks.
Jun 26, 2016 This solution of no battery is detected or no battery is present will work with dell laptops,Asus laptops,Acer, sony,Toshiba,Samsung and with some other well-known brands as well. This solution of no battery is detected. Re: Inspiron 9300/Vista 'No Battery is detected' Richard, Although the BIOS flash on our support site is designed to add support for the Battery Health Meter(BHM) and optimize the battery charging algorithm, I don't believe this will fix your problem.
