Battery not found in power management screen charge... (by 2 users)

This issue has been posted on here before but no answer thtat fixed this issue was ever posted. AC adaptor, bios update and new battery all do not fix this problem

I replaced the battery but my charge light will go out after a few seconds.

If I remove and reinsert the battery the charge light will come on but then just go out again.

The battery meter doesn't see the battery but if I unplug the AC power the laptop stays running so it is being power by the battery.

I cleaned the contacts on the battery and laptop but it didn't help.
