Take care of the battery like this:
There are many ways to take care of the battery. There can be many such problems between your bad wall outlet or computer, due to which your laptop battery is not charging. If we know what the problem is, we can save a lot of money from being wasted on it. In this post, we are going to tell you about some such methods so that you can find out if there is any problem with your laptop battery charging which you can fix yourself at home?
Do these things:
- First of all, check whether the laptop charger is properly connected to the wall socket and your laptop plug. It sounds a bit strange, but many times we forget to plug-in it properly and due to this the battery charging is not happening.
- Second, try plugging the laptop charger into another socket. This will tell whether there is a problem with the socket or not. After this, first check the cable of the charger, whether it is twisted or broken from anywhere. Check the entire wire first.
- Third, check the laptop AC, do you find its color discolored? Smell it and see, are you not getting any smell of burning? If there is a smell of burning plastic, then the power connector needs to be replaced. Contact the manufacture and see if it is under warranty? If under warranty, you will get a new charger or power connector for free.
- Fourth, if even after doing this your laptop is not charging then check the power connector. If there is any dust in it or if there is dust or something stuck in the charging dock of the laptop, then clean it. Clean the points of the charging port as well.
- Fifth, even after this the problem is not fixed, then check whether you are plugging the charger in the right port or not. USB-C is a popular cross platform connecting dock used for data transfer and battery charging. Some manufacturers keep the USB-C port only for data transfer, so if you use it for charging, your device will not charge. So check that you are connecting the charger to the correct port for charging.
- Sixth, also check the board of your laptop’s charger. For example, if your laptop’s charger comes with a 45W charger, you will need a power connector of that or more. We would recommend that you charge with the charger that comes with the laptop.
- Seventh, even after checking all these, if your laptop battery is not charging and your laptop comes with a removable battery, then take out the battery and hold down the power button and power off the device for 15 seconds.
- With the battery still out, plug the laptop into a power outlet and try turning it on. If the laptop is turning on then it means that the adapter and laptop is working properly and there is a problem with your battery.
- After this, re-insert the battery into the laptop and again put the laptop on charging, there may be some problem with the battery fitting.
- Eighth, many times the battery gets heated due to which laptop overheat problem occurs. As the temperature rises, the battery sensors may also start to act erratically. Due to this the charging problem also starts happening. For this you can shut down your laptop for some time.
- This will prevent the battery from overheating and the laptop from catching fire. This problem mostly occurs with older laptops or with laptops that do not have a cooling system. If the cooling system is given in the latest devices, then the problem of over heating is less in it.
- Ninth, now apart from this you can also try to update the driver. There are also some cases when the fault is caused by the driver. Go to the Start menu on the computer and select Device Manager. By going to Batteries Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery or any similar option will appear, right click on it and select each item and update the driver. After all the drivers are updated, reboot the laptop and plug it back in. This may solve your problem.
