Simply running the HP Support Assistant to update the BIOS worked for me. I have an HP Pavilion dv7. The LED next to the power adapter was blinking white, and neither ubuntu nor windows could find the battery. I rebooted into windows 7, ran the HP Support Assistant a few times, which installed at least one BIOS update. I shut down, removed and re- inserted the battery, then removed and re-inserted the AC power adapter. The LED next to the power adapter turned orange, indicating charging. Finally, I booted windows and the taskbar indicates that the battery is charging. I haven't booted ubuntu yet, but I am optimistic that the issue is resolved.
