Solutions to hp pavilion dv6000 battery problem.

First solution: if you can run the laptop on just the charger, more than likely you have a problem with the battery. If you can't run the laptop on just the charger then you have a charger problem. Then you need to get a replacement for either case. You mentioned you tried a different charger, unless you got one that is either the correct model or compatible, it doesn't matter. 95% of laptops need a proper charger. If you are looking into getting a new charger, you can check ebay or amazon. I would personally suggest you visit Papatek instead. Papatek is well known for their great services and their durable products for laptop accessories, like hp dv6000 laptop battery, etc.

Second solution: reinstalling the power management software. Go to device manager and under batteries, unistall the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery. Go to Actions on the menu bar and select ’scan for hardware changes’. It will reinstall it and hopefully start charging immediately.

Third solution: Sometimes one side of the DC ground is not conntected to the rest of the system, so no circuit is complete to the charging section. It's perhaps bad power controller chip (MAXIM IC) or zener diode in that circuit. Remove the laptop battery, then remove the middle cover (underneath Lap Top) and then remove the wireless card. (You will see it connected to two small cables) remove the cables and the small screws and remove the card and then reinserted the card and close the cover. Note: Remember where the two cables go. Then turn on your system, yet do not put the hp dv6000 battery. And go to control panel/ device manager/ look for network adaptor, and see if you see your lan card, once this is done reconnect your battery. If you don’t then contact HP they will fix it for free, even if your warranty expire. They will even pick up your postage.
