    Laptop not charging


    My laptop won't charge when plugged in, it only goes onto plug-in mode. I cannot download Windows 11 because my processor isn't currently supported Intel Core i5-6300U 2.4GHz. This started happening in the last few days and I'm worried that when my laptop dies it'll not turn on again. I have tried different plug sockets and different chargers with the same problem. Please help?

    :)

    Laptop no longer charging since Windows 10 update

    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).
