    Laptop only says plugged in and battery is draining


    OK so my problem is this please see above:


    My laptop says "Plugged In" It doesn't say "Not Charging" or "Laptop Discharging", just "Plugged In"


    My laptop's battery is not replaceable. i'm using a dell inspiron 15 1700

    Troubleshooting power will say there are no issues with the battery.


    I have read many answers and none have addressed my problem, I am clueless. I've tried to charge it for an hour without any success. I really need some help.

    :)

  2. 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).

    Will leaving a laptop plugged in kill the battery?

    I have a laptop (Compaq/HP Pesario C500) and I am running WCG on it. The battery can drain quite quickly, so I would like to leave it plugged in so it can crunch while I'm not there to attend to it. I was wondering if leaving it plugged in would kill the battery? Deminish it's ability to hold a charge? Maybe even cause problems like fire like the sony batteries did?
