Hi There,

My laptop was working fine till today. Now its not running via battery but via DIRECTpower supply when I am trying to put it on charger.Battery is not getting charged. I am not even able to see the battery charging icon ON. It seems battery somehow is disconnected and thats why laptop is running on the direct supply when I am trying to charge the battery.

Any prompt help in this will be appreciated.

Regards,

Further to this when I checked the control panel >> power options >> power meter . Its saying that Current power source : AC power source.
Any idea please??

if you boot up and go into the bios setting you may see if the battery is ok or not.

Hi,

I am resurrecting this thread because I am having the same problem, and am wondering if anyone has a resolution for this.

I have check in BIOS, and it states that the battery is fine, but may be ending its useful life (based on age of battery?).

I have tried leaving my laptop off overnight with A/C adapter attached, was not charged at all the next morning.

I have tried removing the battery overnight, then reinstalling it and restarting the computer. Still no dice.

I have tried shutting down computer, unplugging A/C adapter, then restarting computer, then plugging A/C adapter back in.

My battery has been declining, it is about 2 yrs old. It would keep a charge for 20-30 mins. The problem began when I had it off of A/C power, ran it all the way down, attached it to A/C adapter then restored from standby.

Is there a setting of some kind that tells the computer to run on A/C power or charge battery?

TIA for your help

Check your power plug input area. is it loose? I am finding mine is charging then its off and on and off and on..etc..loose connection on power plug.
you think you can check your ac adapter check voltages there?
