    My laptop won't hold charge while in use despite getting a new battery


    Hi,My HP Windows 10 laptop won't hold charge while it's in use, the white button appears on the side and it is classed as 'plugged in' but not charging. When I put the laptop in standby and leave it plugged in however, the button on the side turns orange to indicate it is charging.I recently changed my battery on it within the last week done professionally and am unsure what the persisting problem could still be.Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

    :)

    My laptop won't hold charge while in use despite getting a new battery

    New battery not charging


    I have an Acer Aspire V3-771 laptop (which is three and a half years old) with its original battery. As the battery is not holding the charge for as long as it used to I decided to replace it. I inserted he new battery, which already showed a charge of 60%, and let it run down to the point when the laptop turned itself off. However, when I tried to recharge the battery, the battery icon showed "6% available, plugged in, not charging". I contacted the supplier of the battery and they sent me a new one. This showed an initial charge of 93% so, in view of my problem with the previous battery, I decided to try and charge it up to full capacity before letting it run down. But as soon as I tried this the battery icon showed "93% available, plugged in, not charging". So I unplugged the charger and again let the battery run down until the computer turned itself off. I plugged the charger in again but then got "6% available, plugged in, not charging". I have no problem charging the old battery, so can anyone please suggest what the problem might be? I have tried taking out the battery and unplugging the charger and holding down the power button for 30 seconds, but this hasn't worked. Grateful for any advice.
