Battery not charging...but is recognized by V2000

My fiance's Compaq V2000 is sick. About 3 months ago, I switched to a new battery. It charged/discharged just fine. Than two days ago, the laptop would not power on unless plugged into the AC unit. The battery status in the system tray states that it is charging with a level of 55%.

The battery charge light on the front of the laptop is lit, so I image it is getting power. I took the battery to a friend's house and it worked on his similar laptop so I am pretty confident it is not the battery (unless this was a fluke).

Am I correct in thinking its the charging component on the MoBo?

    Same problem, Got new battery with some charge in it already but V2000 sees the batery but won't charge it. If I take out the battery with PC running it says charging but still does not. Could it be the charger. What Amps are required by this unit? Does anyone know, it's not written on the bottom of the laptop like most are!

My guess since the battery checked fine in another laptop would indeed be the charging board or charging circuit on the motherboard.

Battery problem with HP Compaq Presario V2000 laptop

When batteries fail, they usually lose the cells inside them, which means that the cell is no longer able to function as a holding cell for power and therefore cannot do its job anymore, when a battery fails to hold and refuses charging it is bad and needs to be recycled. The flashing is telling you to purchase a new battery. The larger the number of cells in the battery, the longer and better it will perfrom,,RE: 6 cell, 9 cell, 12 cell.

Compaq Presario v2000 notebook reduced battery life

you may try:
1) check the battery alarm at windows power managment, to set 5-10% alarm level.
2) discharge the battery to the empty then charge longer time, you need monitoring how long it charged (see charge lights change), need to change new one if charging time much less then before(less then 10-20 minutes)..
3) plug-in AC adapter monitoring charging current,
this step you need a current meter to make a series connection in the circuite, the battery is over life cycle if the current less then 500mA.

Compaq v2000

you would have to pull down the laptop if you can. there seem to be something shorting out the 14.v battery connection allowing it to discharge the charge from the battery when off. if you can get the motherboard exchanged for a new one thats you first go, because the problem is def the motherboard.

Modem driver

Hi Mofya,

HINT: your presario may not really be a V2000. My fiance's V2000 is actually a V2402AU. Try searching for the drivers for that model instead.

Compaq Presario V2000 touchpad/battery charging problems

I noticed you were talking about over heating issues. Does the mouse issue happen when the computer is on for a period time?

I know with some laptops there is software for the "gadgets" on the mouse pad. If you have software related to it.. try reinstalling.

I am getting mixed thoughts of what you maybe talking about... please explain.
