Alright guys, so you see. I have a battery problem. My battery for some reason won't go past 23%. I have kept it for charging for a long 5-10 hours and it won't go ahead than that. It shows the white light near the charging port which usually means the laptop is 100% charged but in this case, its showing the white light when its just on 23%? I have tried updating my drivers and changing my battery settings to default but nothing seems to work. Please help, i need to take my laptop to school but i can't be carrying my laptop charger with me wherever i go considering there isn't a port everywher
