HP pavilion g7 battery not working

[Lometon]

My HP pavilion g7 laptop battery is not working unless its plugged in. Help!

The battery may have reached the end of it's life (ie can no longer hold a charge), in which case replacement new battery is required.
I can only recommend you buy a new battery from HP to ensure compatibility and safety.

You can buy cheaper ones from various online suppliers but they can have various issues like getting too hot, not being totally compatible with your laptop, or dying after only a few months. You may get lucky but is it worth taking that risk? I think not.

Thanks for the help! That laptop battery life was only 10 mins.

Only lasting 10 minutes, yes that's a sure sign that the battery is no longer able to hold a charge and therefore needs replacing.
