If the notebook battery is not charging or the notebook does not indicate that the battery is charging, it's looks like that the battery is working, but its power management software may have a problem. You will need to uninstall and reinstall the power management software by using the Device Manager.
1.go to device manager
Right click on my computer->select Properties->click the Hardware tab->click device manager
2. Expand the Batteries category.
3. Under the Batteries category, right-click the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listing, and select Uninstall .
WARNING: Do not remove the Microsoft AC Adapter driver or any other ACPI compliant driver.
4. On the Device Manager taskbar, click Scan for hardware changes

Dell n5010 not chargering

Hi Anonymous,

Request you to try following the below steps which might help:
    (1)Check if the AC Adaptor gets detected in BIOS (F2 at startup).
    (2)Check on the status bar for any messages like "Plugged in charging", "Not connected", etc.
    (3)Try using a known good AC Adaptor and check if that helps.

    Thanks and Regards.

HP Mini 2140 "Plugged in, charging" but not charging

Hello jorel, most likely its a failure of the system board particularly the charging section, a broken pin or a loose terminal. work will be internal, suggest you do away with the battery. its better to operate it at home, or bring the charger with you. Maybe its time to get a new one.

Battery gets to 8% or so, I plug it in, it says it's charging but warning keeps flashing, screen dims off and on and then it shuts off. Charges fine when it's off. Seemed to work fine before.

If the laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

NEW Battery not properly charging

Batteries have electronics data that software has to get to properly charge it. Newer lithium batteries maybe different. But apparently, you have a work around for a lengthy use of the new battery.
