Hi folks... Found the reason.

Thanks Glenn Strazds

Right, and it seems that once the power circuit thinks that something's bad about the power coming in it disables the jack. From there it takes a complete shut down to reset the circuit.

I still have no additional progress on this; Picked up a couple mb's off ebay to make a working spare - got to investigate liquid damage - discovered that HP has an exclusive  on of the power chips LM3488 sot; msot version is the only version available on the street.

Could be the chip - still think bios; don't know..

Thanks for the machine details. So upgrading to F.55 does not seem to fix this for you. Luckily hibernation is working for me, so it's not to bad dealing with this (as long as I catch it).

*gjt*

What does "Lucky hibernation is working for me"??  works here..

I think your talking about the battery flipping to discharge ~ I let the battery charge up overnight while the notebook is off, then take it out in the morning...

My dual layer burner works great; This system has also not failed since for any "other" reason???

Quotehere are some power issues that do occur with this model, but not any like yours that I'm aware of. I don't believe that this is a BIOS issue specifically, but it could possibly be.

I read them.. appear to be the same as mine with a sub sets being;

Damaged DC line into the power connector on the side of the notebook, and the power brick being defective with a third possibility being the low voltage issue from plugging into airplane DC power sockets or an inverter... which by default causes the battery to flip into discharge mode.

Also the power connector in the motherboard being worn out cracked etc...

I ran this x1360cl off of (2) ~an inverter  that being 150w and 1000w; worked and still works

Unless the power management chip itself is failing in the "running on AC with a trickle charge feature" damaged while the rest of the features work including trickle charging while in hibernation mode.

maybe the inverter output not being a perfect sine wave caused just that section to break.. or my salt water damage also damaged just that function on the chip???

So who knows where the power management  chip is on the x1000 Mb?

Quotesince these forums were setup in the interim when the old ones were hacked. I'm only currently still hosting this forum to maintain a database of useful data that I collected from Google cache when the forum was corrupted. A lot of the interim posts at the other forum were lost, but there still are some active users there and almost none here, sadly

I thought I was joining the other forum... will do ... This is a most useful forum.. knowledge base

Hi folks; I have  a Battery will not charge problem which has shown up again...

Same as others have reported in this newsgroup...

Symptoms;

Discharged battery to any state 90% ~ 10% charges to full when AC plugged in first time.

Then AC still plugged in, AC power icon in the tray; Battery starts discharging !  Unplug ~ replug Battery will not recharge..
Turn off unplug ~ replug charges again..

Notebook works with the AC only no battery in unit
Notebook works with Battery only lasts several hours...

Appears to not be the Adapter connector issue or brick issue

Bios is now at F55; occurred when bios was at previous bios level

Puzzling that the issue might be a HP related Bios instruction set problem or restated HP still does not have the Bios right.

Empty battery slot makes a great hand hold..

How does one chase HP around to fix this. I don't recall giving HP an OK to charge me for their problems; design issues which are not resolved at time of purchase.

I quite like this X1360cl notebook I have here... At one point it was toast 2 months out of warranty salt water damage one line  3mm x 50mm bottom side of power area on MB..  

Weeks grumbling over the loss/wasting of 2K CDN and no Accident damage insurance which was not available at the time - Now is from some vendors

Took it apart; replaced a LM393 power chip now it works again..

Sincerely Glenn Strazds
