This is one of the more common issues I come across on a day to day basis and there are many reasons that the laptop may not be charging the battery. We are going to look at the top 5 reasons.
Note that some of these solutions involve dismantling your laptop. If you are not comfortable working on your laptop you are best to take it to a repair technician.
1. Faulty/Dead Battery
1. Faulty/Dead Battery
Most laptops are designed to run on AC power only (the power adapter) but there are a few laptops out there that will not run without a battery. If your battery is completely dead then it may be that the laptop is not detecting a battery as present. The solution would be to try another battery to see if it resolves the issue.
2. Laptop boots but then battery is not charging
This is quite a common occurrence. I have found in my experience this tends to be more an issue with dell and HP computers but it is also found on other models. You may find that when you have the computer running that the battery is not charging. This can be caused by 3 things.
