Hi Abdul,

I realize that you are facing battery issues on your PC. I will try to help you with this issue.

You may shut down the device completely, remove the battery and let it rest for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, place the battery in its place and restart the device to check if the issue persists.

This issue usually occurs when either the battery is faulty or when there is a conflict with the ACPI driver. Try the following steps and check if you are able to reinstall the ACPI drivers.

• 
  Click Start and type device in the search field, then select Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand the Batteries category.
  
• 
  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.

• 
  On the Device Manager Taskbar, click Scan for hardware changes. Alternately, select Action > Scan for hardware changes.
  

Windows will scan your computer for hardware that doesn't have drivers installed, and will install the drivers needed to manage your battery's power.

Keep us informed to help you further.

Thank you.

 

Laptop battery issue

I have the same issue. I am trying to update the BIOS but will not due to "missing" battery. My charger did die on me and I had to replace it. I also wound up having to reinstall XP. Ever since the reload, the battery has been missing in action. It will run without being plugged into the wall and the battery checks good with 5 green lights. Any suggestions on how to update the bios with this problem?
