how to fix laptop battery not charging

Let's see, there may be, as always, many reasons for this. But not all have to repair the laptop or throw. We give some clues to what if your laptop does not load up, especially when it goes "Connected but not loaded." Typical Dells and HP problem.

Let's start with the worst and get better:

It may be plate. If so it is best to bring a professional look that is repairable because sometimes, sometimes not. Many charge the budget, many others (like us) no.

It may be the power connector. This is very typical because a piece is soldered to the motherboard, so if the cable straps or just removing welding forces. Not very expensive to fix, again they have to do specialists. That if the failure is usually more than load times and not others as you move it until one day stops charging altogether. If it has not gone before you that (having to move it to load), do not choose as a first cause.

It may be the battery that has been spent. If you have more than 2 years is very possible (do not make them to last long). Do not become so crazy to leave connected all the time or not, you have no memory effect and actually have a "safe" cutting when full and do not charge more. One way to tell if the battery test of otr ... but of course I need a laptop that works well. I do not usually have it. Before testing the above I would buy a battery (same model) on eBay, they are cheap. That if the following test before. Many laptops have a battery test by BIOS (do not trust from Windows). HP does. If you need to change da normally is. If failed as in our case below could be anything.

Make a hard reset. Sometimes residual static load or load on the computer components falls, affecting the burden of the laptop. This test sometimes fixes this problem, and does damage. This shuts down the computer, remove power, remove the battery and hold the power button down for 15 seconds. That will pull in all. Then connect the power, turn on the computer, and once put on the battery. This final step is not important as to the order (first, then battery power or vice versa), but many recommend as well. If you load ... solved. If not try other steps.

Upgrade BIOS from the manufacturer's website in case it was a bug in the BIOS. We are not responsible for what happens. It's pretty easy and safe ... but if you do it wrong you can load the computer. Do not lose power in the process.

It may be the charger. And indeed it is in many cases. Quito the case is broken, you see that easy. Let that be enough. About the officers, and when people buy universal. Batteries, and official (clonic not) quite often need to load amperage. ESPECIALLY if you've discharged below 15%. It happens that I always carried well, suddenly one day and no longer fully discharge load. It is important that your charger does not exceed the input voltage of your battery (normally 18.5-19V).

But then you have a draw that can deviate greatly. And one does not have low strength to charge an empty battery. Try one high and do not panic because the notice "not loaded" go. Several hours (8-10) with the computer off to charge it and see if you see the next morning. Sometimes takes to leave the area of 0% and the area of 15% load. It is best to have a charger 90W-100W. If the manufacturer does not indicate you conseguiréis multiplicand Volts (V) per Ampere (A).

You will see that in many cases have a 70W insufficient. Tested with a charger 90W-100W. Rea l Case: The other day we had a HP dv7. With customer Charger (70W) not loaded, the light next to the power outlet is not kept fixed. In our (90W) if light was fixed, but the error kept saying "connected but not charging". Shut it off, leave loading one night and the next morning the battery was charged and connected and charging said.
