HP NX 7010 Battery no longer charging..

    Worth a try....

    ok..ok.. so I used the ROM calibrate battery thing at xmas and ever since the battery won't charge. I updated and reverted/updated the bios... no joy. The battery is fine as i have used another NX7010 to charge it.

    I am assuming seeing as I used the calibrate thing it is not hardware related?

    Any one know a fix?

    If it might be hardware related..what should I be looking for? On the Mother board..

    Any help is appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance

    I say try HP. If its a common problem they'll know about it, or it should be on their support forums.

    Sounds a bit weird but I have messed up a few batteries through calibration and there are always posts on the HP forums about calibration problems. Ive never seen a battery that wouldnt charge at all after being calibrated but ive somehow reduced the capacity of a few through doing it. Seems to be a common issue. I wouldnt think its the laptop at fault, if the battery is being recognised all the time as being calibrated a certain way another battery will tell you whether its the laptop or not. Does that other 7010 not have a batt you can swap?

    Have a go with that.

    HP Pavilion / consumer laptops support

    1890 923 902

    HP Product Support for Workstations, Giados, POS or business Notebook PCs

    1890 946 500 (wait to hear all options as they have been changed and are quiet long)

    If there are any problems on your hp compaq system they may show up, you might also find that there could be a rompaq hotfix.
