    Plugged in not charging (Windows 10)


    Hey, I got this computer about a year ago and haven't had any problems with it. Now, for some reason it won't charge, the computer recognizes that's it's plugged in yet the amount of battery won't go up. Saying 'Plugged in not charging.'


    I don't know how to fix it and need the quickest solution possible if that's an option. Hope someone can me fix the problem.

    :)

    Plugged In, Not Charging

    Sometimes depending on your Windows 10 Build, your battery will not charge to 100%, this extends the life of your battery . . . plug out the laptop, drain the battery for 10 - 15 minutes, plug it back in and see if it starts to charge the battery

    If however, your battery is not charging at all in Windows 10, follow these steps to rectify this issue:

    • Disconnect Power Supply
    • Remove battery
    • Connect Power Supply
    • Turn on the laptop
    • Control Panel - Device Manager
    • Under the Batteries category, right-click all instances of Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery , and Uninstall
    • Shutdown
    • Disconnect Power Supply
    • Insert battery
    • Connect Power Supply
    • Turn on the laptop

    I Hope this Answers your Question!

    Plugged in, not charging


    There are 3 points of failure for a laptop that does not charge (And has been determined to be a hardware problem and NOT a software/OS problem). OS problems can be tested as mentioned above.

    • Dying battery (end of recharge cycle limit) as DustSailor and bro67 have mentioned.
    • Defective/dead charger/power supply
    • Broken DC In port (very common)

    Sometimes in the case of a broken DC In port you can wiggle the power jack in the port and see it starts to charge and then goes back to "Plugged In Not Charging" when you let go. But not always.

    Sometimes with the Charger/Power Supply it is only the jack that is defective.

    First order of business is to borrow a Charger/Power Supply (be sure it has the same voltage IN as yours) and test it to see if it will charge the battery.

    The rest is replacing parts until you get to the offending one.
    The Charger/Power Supply is cheapest to replace first.
    Then the Battery
    Then to the shop to see if the DC In port can/should be replaced.
