  1. Dell Laptop Battery Not Charging or Working off of AC Adapter


    I have recently replaced my Dell XPS L702X battery this Christmas. I stopped using the computer for about 3 weeks and the battery no longer works. Windows says it has 96 percent and not charging but if I unplug it the power cuts immanently. I followed the manufacture's instructions of doing the first cycles and used the laptop regularly for a while but now it no longer functions. Any help would be appreciated.

    Make sure to install all Windows important updates.

    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).
