    My laptop is not charging properly.


    My laptop is a few years old but has never given me any charging issuesbesides dying fast.It recently started not charging properly. It will show that it's charging but stay at 1%. Only when I let it die, then plug it back in, it will start charging normally again. Or it was stating that it was at 0%, but stayed that way for 30mins.I'm concerned bout this being a battery issue and want to know if I might need a new one.

    :)

    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).
