Error 103 - Charge Circuit Failure
been giving me an error message that says "103 Charge Circuit Failure" right after the "bootup" message, before Windows starts, and the battery is not charging (right now it's stuck at 88%). I Googled around and most of the messages I found said that it was probably a dead or dying battery, so I took the battery out, restarted the computer, and I still got that message (I put the battery back in after that). It works perfectly fine off AC power. Although the first day I got that message, I had accidentally dropped the box-looking-thing (whatever that's called) on the power cord onto the floor (from just above waist height, onto carpet), so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, or if it's a problem inside the laptop itself.

I'm not skilled enough to take apart this thing. There's a computer repair shop not too far from where I live, maybe I'll lug it there and see what they say. 0 q2006 6 Years Ago i have this same problem on an evo n620c, could this be the power board? it hasnt charged in a while now, but ive recently just got the 103 charge error?? i didnt have a hdd in at the time of this error, ive read on another page that this is a registry error? i dont see how its possible to be one as the hdd hasnt loaded at this stage plus thee wasnt one in. as all the registry is in windows?? unless im mistaken, RUN/regedit http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100115215013AAPNXDE cpu-power This article has been dead f

You might try removing the battery and see if the error stops when you start it up. If it doesn't do it with the battery out, you may need to get a new battery. Otherwise, if it continues to do it, you may have a bad power adapter (not supplying enough power) or the charge circuitry on the main board has gone bad. But, I'd change the power adapter before I'd change the main board. Power adapters have tendencies to get weaker over time. Either way, you will need to contact HP-Compaq to get more information and a resolution.

In the last week, when I power up the computer before the error 103 Windows comes on I am getting at the top of my screen a 103 Charge Circuit Failure. Is this something to be concerned about? I keep the laptop pluged in on AC all the time as if it were a desktop. It doesn't seem to be showing any problems . Am I going to need repairs on something?
