Windows 10: Laptop power indicator keeps staying off even when laptop is on

So i have a NEC VersaPro VX-F business laptop running windows 7. Its refurbished but i havent used it that much.
I upgraded it to Windows 10 due to end of support around a month ago and it was fine until a few days ago I noticed that the power indicator keeps staying off even after booting into Windows. The laptop is working normally, though. Another thing worth mentioning is that i turned on Hyper-V shortly before this all happened and i think when i turned off the VMs it messed with the indicator or maybe it was because all the freezes and hard resets i have to deal with using a virtual machine on a mediocre laptop.
I dont think its the problem with the LED itself as other LEDs have been working fine.

Im hoping someone can give me a solution. Thanks.

laptop's ac power keeps turning off

Hi,

My laptop's battery is no good so I always use the laptop on ac power. It was working fine last night but today it keeps shutting down after a minute or so. I've just noticed the battery icon will start off showing the power plug next to it but then the plug disappears... if I disconnect the power lead and reinsert it, I will get the plug showing again but only momentarily.

Wondering what my first steps should be... is it possible it's a setting or software problem rather than the power unit/cord itself?

(am using trusty old--if loud--laptop at the moment)


thanks in advance.

 

W10 laptop stays powered up

I have an Alienware 17 R3 laptop that will shutdown but stays powered on. I can only power down by holding down the power button.
