Not sure why your asking me this question however yes if it is defective by all means send it back.

If it fails to charge at under 75% or less, the battery is either defective or your electrical cord is not working. If you have a red/orange/white light by the plug into the laptop then it is not a problem with the cord and the battery is defective and should be returned for replacement.

Let the battery charge for awhile then take out the battery. There should be a small dark button on the battery itself. When pressed a number of lights will come on on indicating how much charge it has. If this lights do not appear I would return the battery for a new one.

check your connections if that doesn't work my best advice is to return it & get your money back

Have the terminal checked where the charger plugs in. It may be getting or is loose in the laptop. You can sometimes tell if this is a problem by wigling the charger end slowly when it is in the laptop.

When I ordered it, I also ordered using the Compaq HP laptop model number (mine is a Pavillion DV7 1157D). That is the Compaq HP part number for the battery, and yes it fit in my Pavillion laptop perfectly. I also got an additional two hours of heavy use (playing a DVD as a test) compared to the original battery in the laptop. The battery size is larger, so it lifts my laptop up at a slight angle but I like it because it appears helping it cool with the bottom vents clear. BTW: Since I did not have a way of testing the charger, I went ahead and purchased both the charger and the battery set.

Shouldn't have a problem with any DV7. As your primary, you would probably have to reinstall windows 7 from your system back up disk. You did make a set didn't you. HP no longer supports DV7 series.

My HP laptop is a Pavillion dv6000. The original battery shows HSTNN-DB-31 and a sticker says replace with HP Spare 432306-001. Don't know if this helps. Call ANKER. The new ANKER battery is working great!sPARE

I wouldn't count on this replacement to fit anything! The hp dv7 I purchased this for did not fit at all: the overall length and width was wrong, hole pattern was wrong, and the tabs were wrong. I think this is a case of something (in this case, the price) being too good to be true. I suggest you contact HP for an OEM replacement.

I use this battery in a dv4000.... but the battery will not charge in the HP dv4000 laptop. I use an external charger.

I have an HP Pavilion DV6 with no other nomenclature... I had to send this battery back because it did not line up, FYI

If its the power adapter see if your version is a 5volt (some were 9volt check your adapter.. you can also get generic power supply with adapter to work as well) and has a usb to attach to a computer. If not then maybe a new charger is in order. I've had several Super Pad in the past, if the plugging into a computer usb or new charger doesn't work, only choice left is to depress the reset button.... If that doesn't work its inside the unit unfortunately. Repair or replace.

Yes this is very compatible with HP Pavillion dv7t laptop. You will really appreciate the design of this battery due to the fact it lifts the computer off the table to ensure more cooling. EBO

I'm not sure because I don't know what model HP laptop you have. On my laptop on the upper right border of the top when open it says Pavilion dv7. When I purchased this I typed in that model # and it said that this was the correct power cord. And it is. Whether you are running Windows 7 doesn't matter. It is all about the hole you plug it into. Hope this helps.

Make sure that you bought the right battery first. Look up what kind of laptop you have usually it is printed on the laptop somewhere. Mine is a toshiba satellite. Then google what kind of battery it takes. Make sure that the battery is properly installed and locked in place(tabs near battery) and that it doesn't wiggle. Next is the charging unit. Make sure that its fully put together and connected to your pc power slot. If the battery is right and the power charging unit is fully conected and still no charge check to see if there is an orange light when you plug in the charger. If there is your prolly have a defective battery and should return it, if not then you prolly need a new charger or internal charger connector(pc end).

Make sure it is seated properly and the power cord is in a functioning outlet. Mine charged immediately and works fine. If that doesn't help, I would return it and request another.

Are you positive it is the cord and not the battery? A dead battery will not charge. If you're certain it's the cord, contact the manufacturer on the warranty and tell them what happened. I have had this cord for a couple of months and so far, no problems. It might just be your cord is defective. If you're not sure it's not the battery, you can tell by the little battery icon in the task menu tray on the bottom right of the screen when the cord is plugged in. If there is a plug next to it but it's not charging, it's likely your battery needs to be replaced. Also, make sure the cord is fully connected at every juncture. My cord tends to slip out of the outlet sometimes and the connection to the power box loosens sometimes. Another thing to look for is the green light on the power box. If that is on when it is plugged in, the cord is still getting power. If that's off, it's dead. If you want the cord "asap", you will have to order another one. Not likely the manufacturer will act quickly. They aren't expensive. You might end up spending just as much in shipping costs. If the battery is the problem, they sell the battery on Amazon too. Just turn off your computer and remove the battery. The model number on the battery should be there. Just type it into the search window on Amazon and it will come up. I bought both within the last 9 months. One more thing. Make absolutely sure the cord you are using is for your computer. If you still have it, check the model number on the cord that came with the computer. Type it into the Amazon search window. I was using the wrong power cord for a while and it died and I got this one because it was the exact model number of the one that came with my laptop.

Asus laptop have problems with connector. You need to bring your computer in to computer repair and have the inside part of connector saudered. The connector will continue to have problems charging, if you dont get it fixed. Even with the new battery, it needs to be charged all the time due to defective design inside connector. Sooner or later, you wont even be able to charge your laptop anymore.

I have the HP dv6 7000 and the cover fits just fine. I've had no problems at all with it but its my understanding that it only fits the 7000 series.

It will fit any HP Pavilion DV7 model. I have one which I'm currently using this battery for and its given me absolutely no problems. Also keeps the laptop cooler because it's raised and doesn't overheat/burnout the way a lot of these other generic models do.
