  1. Battery won't charge past 60% when plugged in, even when not in use


    I have noticed for about a week now that my Asus VivoBook is not charging past 60% when it is plugged in. For a day or two I thought it was odd and also that it could be a coincidence, but then the next time I went to use it, noticed that it hadn't gone past 60% since the last time it had been plugged in. I tried to run a troubleshooting with the help assistant but it only seemed to have suggestions for a Surface. I cannot figure out what must be set to "on" somewhere and have no idea how to figure it out.

    :)

  3. Plugged in but battery does not charge

    If the laptop works without the battery then charger is functioning correctly. Take a cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol on it (or some on-the-go alcohol swabs), and clean the metal contacts that connect your battery to your laptop.

    Make sure to install all Windows important updates.

    Install latest versions of your laptop device drivers you can download the latest device drivers from the device manufacturer or from your laptop manufacturer website.


    Step 1

    1. Shutdown your laptop.

    2. Remove the battery.

    3. Connect the AC power adapter to your laptop.

    4. Power on the laptop

    5. Open the Device Manager by typing Devmgmt.msc into Start Menu or from Control Panel.

    6. Under the Batteries category, right-click all of the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listings, and select Uninstall (it’s ok if you only have 1).
