HP Pavilion Notebook Won't Charge

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi all,

I've recently started to have a problem with my HP Pavilion ZE4900 notebook. For some reason, it can't get a charge.

When the AC adapter is plugged in, an indicator light will light up to confirm that the laptop is charging. But whenever I plug the AC in, the light doesn't come on anymore. Sometimes the light will come on, only to go back off a second later. I've ruled out the AC adapter by using another one and I've ruled out the battery by taking it out and trying to power it off the AC alone. With both, I still have the same problem, which leads me to believe that it could be an internal problem.

Anyone have any guesses what the problem could be? Let me know if any extra information is needed. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to NBF,

It sounds like your battery is dead. This is pretty common.

I suggest replacing your battery.

that is an older model and more then likely, the battery is dead. That model is well over 5-6 years old...
