This is the normal way that some laptops are designed. It is not necessarily an indication that something is wrong.

Hello,

The battery on my friend's hp pavilion zv5000 will only charge when it
is turned off or hibernating.
What could be the source of this problem? How do I fix it?

The power managment settings are set to laptop. The laptop was usually
used on AC power.
The charging indicator LED turns on as soon as the laptop is shut down.

Regards,
Aaron Rowe
