I followed his instructions after my computer battery ceased to charge anymore. My computer would die if I didn't have it plugged in. After following his instructions, my battery went from 13% to 38% and is now 45%. Yay!!!! I am happy!!! Thank you for this fix!!
None of the things listed on the web helped me at all. Not even this video. But I DID manage to fix my issue, very easily actually. Thanks for NOTHING HP! Go into your device manager, open batteries, right click on the second listing for the Microsoft ACI, click DISABLE. Wait a few seconds (30) right click on it again and click ENABLE. Bam, fixed! I do not work for HP or any other computer companies, but I figured out what NONE of them could! Hope this works for all of you as well.
That sounds dangerous. When I was going to do that, it said that it was going to stop functioning and I thought it would shut down or get screwed up. I use a windows 8.1. Also nick, can you help my windows 8.1? it makes weird swiggly-electric sounds inside it and get hot at the vents. Any ideas?
Why thank you, Nathan Barley. I will keep this in mind and try out your advice. I'm 100% sure it will work and hopefully hear my advice from. Thank you for your response.
Came home from the store, where they told me it was my battery. Said to order a new one and they would put it in. Found your video, and with the help of my husband, did this and now it says 1 hour until full charge. I have an HP Envy and it's only 3 yrs old. Thank you for sharing.
I tried this out on my Dell XPS 15 which I had just recently installed a new battery and power supply. It worked great. Battery charging again to 100%. Thank you for your help.
FOR THE PERSON WHO HAS THE ISSUE OF IT CHARGING THEN STOPPING....TRY TAKING BATTERY OUT AND LETTING COOL DOWN. ITS PROBABLY OVERHEATING BECAUSE PC FAN IS DIRTY OR HAS BEEN SITTING ON A BED OR LAP NOT LETTING IT BREATH. HOPE THIS HELPS. I KNOW IT HAPPENS TO MINE AND EASY FIX.
I really had my doubts when I clicked on a 7 year old video. Turns out, this worked on my Toshiba Satellite. From my experience, my Toshiba said it's charging but is stuck on 4%. Did this and it's on 10% and charging. Might buy another battery just in case but I can vouch for this vid. Thanks, man.
This works some of the time for some folks. But if your laptop is 2 - 3 years old and this "not charging" effect crops up then it probably is because your battery needs replaced. Also - big point - DO NOT KEEP YOUR LAPTOP PLUGGED IN 24/7!!! You should charge it once, unplug and and allow this to drain down to < 10 %. This will mean you may have to recharge your unit 3 - 5x per week but I promise you it will add months or even years to the longevity of your battery!
That's outdated information based on old battery technology (NiCd) that's been out of use in laptops, cellphones and most power-hungry mobile electronics for many years. Look up the best practices for Lithium ion and Lithium polymer batteries. You'll see that leaving devices plugged in is not a problem by itself and that full discharge cycles are harmful. The two big rules for Li-ion and Li-po are: keep batteries from getting too hot and avoid full discharges.
Was planning on buying a new battery because it wouldn't work unless plugged in and a "plugged in, not charging" message was appearing on my screen. Figured I would google the problem and saw this video. I am not tech savvy at all and found this an easy fix that worked immediately saving me money on a new battery. THANKS!!!
Just tried this and couldnt believe it worked. Ive put off buying a new battery for at least 2 years thinking I'll just have to have it plugged in until I get another one . Its up 59 % and charging . Hasnt done this for at least 2yrs . Thank you so much .
OMG! Been sitting here since March 2020 unable to use machine; had put it in the closet. Decided to Google "0% battery..." and up come this video. Before following instructions, my machine showed 0% with no evidence of it charging. I followed instructions-perfect instructions, I might add, and voila! I have "1 hour 20 minutes to a full charge" Thank you! I saved money, headache and added to my "Joy, you can fix it" skills base!!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow, this actually worked for my Sony Vaio. The battery was showing as not being detected. Followed your exact instructions, and it's working! Yippeee! Thanks a lot
I know this was uploaded 7 years ago, however, thank you very much for a quick and easy fix! It's working and took less than 5 mins thanks to you. New Subbie :-)
Thank you! This worked for my Toshiba laptop, core i7, windows 8--about a 3 year old computer. I know that it worked because as soon as I uplugged the AC, the computer stayed on. Before, when I removed it from the AC power supply, it just died. The battery wouldn't take over.
This worked for me... the comments were helpful too... If I have to do this again I'll try deleting the second battery listing and see if that fix works any faster... comments on battery care here were important for me to consider... thanks for this...
is there any explanation as to why? im thinking that is is because the drivers keep track of the batteries capacity and will not charge a "tired" pack, so uninstalling them would get rid of the "logs" so it doesnt remember that that is a tired pack, also what does charging and discharging the pack do for it? i would really like to know why this happens, thanks for sharing!
It seems to happen to a lot of different Laptops (Acer, Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc.) but the one thing they have in common is the Windows OS, (Windows 10, 8.1, 7, XP) so I'm guessing it's yet another piece of dodgy Microsoft coding.
So I just gave this a try and SOMETHING worked. I turned over my laptop and noticed one of the locking slider bars wasn't fully in the lock position so that MIGHT have been my problem, but this fix could have been the fix too. Either way, my laptop is now showing that it's charging so I'm very happy and thankful that I found this video. Thank you.
This is great tutorial that works. My new laptop fell off the couch and wouldn't work when I turned on without the charger. My laptop said "pluged in but not charging", I found this video follow every step and works perfectly.
You just saved me a whole lot of money. Compaq Presario CQ61 Win 10... I thought for sure is was the battery port. After removing the batt. my laptop worked / started. You see, this laptop will not charge the batt. if it is over 80% and you have to hold down the power button for 3 seconds to get it to light. After draining the 1 year old battery to 50%... It works great!!! I will take it to 0% and do as you said. Good call, I was about to buy another LT. Thanks!!!
Thanks for this video, I have an Asus K52f which started the "plugged in, not charging" thing last week, found your video, spent a whole 5 mins following it and away it went, just as shown, will now complete the 3 discharge / recharge cycles, thanks so much, cheers!
Worked for me. My laptop sits in a dock all the time so it was a surprise to me that this no charge situation happened so quickly. New life for an old battery!!
this problem is caused by a bug in the Microsoft ACPI drivers, and no fix has been applied yet by Microsoft because as they have said "its not a significant problem that causes issues with performance", i've done this same thing on my dell 14z about a dozen times now, and really you dont have to disconnect and restart then reconnect and restart, you can go into the devmgmt.msc control console, uninstall acpi compliant devices/composite battery, wait a few seconds, then do a scan for hardware changes, it'll re-detect the devices, once they install, disconnect the ac adapter for about a minute, then reconnect, and windows should show "plugged in, charging", i just wish microsoft would fix this known problem with windows already
Thomas Evolve i haven't yet the problem i have is i only use my laptop majority of the time at work and occasionally when mobile, but i've found that the problem reoccurs when restarting the computer (from off not just rebooting windows from start->restart or from command prompt with shutdown -r -f options and i keep having to re-apply the little band-aid which annoys the crap out of me, i hope Microsoft fixes this problem soon tbh, and i'm glad the fixes helped you out
Im still working on it,i only use my laptop (almost 6 years old) and its plugged in 24/7 at home.I started with 73% and now its up to 97% charged.I have charged and drained the battery twice now,will see it goes up to 100% after third charge.
Thank you for this fix. It worked for me on my acer aspire 5750. I had replaced the ac jack last night, this problem started tonight so I thought I'd give it a go. The only thing I did different was I left the 3rd line(composite battery) uninstalled the other 2 as you instructed and I'm very happy that all is as it should be. Thank you very much.
Don't really see the video is really old but look at the effectiveness 🥺🥺🥺🥺 the laptop guy asked for 15$ to fix my battery issue and after watching this. I got it fixed myself. I can't thankyou buddy for your help. I wish wherever you're god bless you ❤️
THANK YOU !!! My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 5110, the original dell ac adapter, suddenly stopped working, so i bought a dell compatible ac adapter. It started showing the "plugged in, not charging" message. Your method did work!!! Battery is charging again!!!
Hey, I need help. What happens if the charger start blinking when you have it plugged into the laptop. It still happens even though I take out the battery. Help!
And by "newer" you mean "it doesn't belong in a museum." That advice has been outdated for a long time now. I can't remember the last time I saw a laptop or cellphone that used NiCd batteries.
Major Gnuisance i wish you luck in your belief. That reminder does not only apply to NiCd. All batteries have a lower cutoff voltage. if you fully discharge it and leave it there for enough time, it will naturally self discharge to lower than the cutoff voltage and if left unnoticed, will kill the battery.
Worked PERFECTLY ON TOSHIBA SATELITE Upgraded to Windows 10.... been dealing with having to always have laptop plugged in or wouldn't work... did this and am typing this note on BATTERY POWER ONLY... FIRST TIME IN OVER A YEAR!!! THANKS FOR THE INFORMATIVE / HELPFUL VIDEO NICK.
1) If the battery calibration shown in my video did not work for you, try a different AC adapter plug. Try to borrow one from a friends laptop. 2) Your laptop may still be under warranty. Check into it.
My old HP laptop wouldn’t charge or switch on with battery attached. With bat out started up, uninstalled the ACPI and shut down. Started with bat attached and it was charging again. Brilliant. How long this fix will last I don’t know but all good so far. Thanks
fixed... followed the steps from my phone!!! my os is windows 7 and as you say device reinstalled and all three light are now on and battery is charging!!!.... thank you very much!!!. ps i didn't quite know what you ment with instructions with complete draining of your battery is that fully charge and use it unplugged until you use all the battery power up!?.....
i get "plugged in, charging" but the battery never collect charge. it remains at 1% and once AC power removed, laptop turns off immedietly. I tried buying brand new one and when i first put it in, it worked until charge in it depleted then same problem Seems like power isnt charging the battery so now i run the laptop on Charger only. any solution for that ?
remove battery, disassemble laptop, remove clock battery, let set for a while, put back together, problem fixed... the problem is firmware in the laptop has detected a overheating issue and stopped the charging of the battery to prevent an explosion... usually not the batteries fault, but the firmware still triggers... this is common if your laptop has ever overheated...
My problem started 2 weeks ago. My laptop automatically shuts-off without low battery notification. As in completely power off not shutting down. And I ignore it but it's annoying. And then 3 days ago I realized then when my battery is 100% it's not green but a blinking orange. And I can still play for 30mins before charging it again but now I can't turn-on my laptop without charging it and it says "89% plugged in, not charging" Hope this method can fix it.
My laptop battery had not been charging for a few days. I found your video this morning and tried it. It Worked! Thanks, I was going to buy a new power cord but your video saved me some money.
Thanks a lot for this battery solution !!! It worked for me ;) Glad to see people like you helping others, this is what life is all about !! Stay safe and keep on the good work Nick
I thought that my motherboard is shorted,,,, after one year I watch your video,, and now I know that it is softwere problem and problem it's solved,,,,,,, very very thanked to you
IT WORKED!!! I couldn't start without battery in it, so that is weird that you can, I just deleted that one thing, restarted puter and now it's charging my new battery, before when I hovered curser over plug icon it would not show charge status. THANK YOU - NICKSCOMPUTERFIX!!!
Nope. Didn't work. Better head back to the drawing board. Not so sure this guys laptop that he was using to demo his tip had a battery charging issue. At the beginning of the video we never see him show us that his battery is not charging. At the end he shows us that his tip "worked." I'll give it a try but not very convincing.
SO FAR IT'S GOOD!!!! The issue with my Toshiba was it was powering on but would automatically turn off after 5 seconds of being on... I did as instructed from the video and is been on for about 5 mins now ... THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !!!!
Worked for me HP Pavillon G6. Man, didnt trust for a bit that this would work. I had this problem for more than 1 year. I had to get another pc bcz i thought that this one was broken. Thanks dude!!!
Nice little quick and easy to understand video and the procedure worked on my HP 650 G1 laptop. The battery wouldn't charge as I bought this not knowing how long it had been dormant. Thanks Nick. You're a peach.
If this is your case, chances are your issue is hardware related. This sometimes happens (most commonly in DELL laptops). The AC adapter has an ID pin that tells the laptop that the charger is offical from the manufacturer. You can still turn on the laptop using the charger, but it will refuse to charge the battery if the pin is broken. You can try twisting the end that goes into your laptop a little. Sometimes this works. Otherwise you will most likely need to replace the AC adapter (charger) for your laptop. If possible, try someone elses charger or maybe go to a tech store because if it still wont work with their charger, its likely that the hardware fault is actully on your laptop's mobo instead of your charger. In this case, you most likely will need to get a new laptop unless you're good at soldiering and fixing circuits. lol Either that, or continue to endure no charge. If your battery is the same as someone else you know that can actually charge theirs, just keep swapping batteries.
***** sometimes the charger is fine original and all and the dell laptop has it's recognition chip broken so it won't recognise the charger Also this chip is hard to find if not impossible P.S. ..just saying.
yea, thats a good point. I wouldnt purchase dell. Seriously, if you want a nice laptop that will last i'd go lenovo. (just my opinion). Dell is notorious for faulty machines and my parents have this charging issue because they never listened to me when i told them not to get a DELL. ;) live and learn right?
Thank you! Battery on my laptop died 3-4 months ago and I stopped using it since, thinking I needed a new battery and not knowing I could use it without the battery.. Now I know better!! Thanks again! :))
Nick - you are a complete star! I have bought 2 batteries for my Dell M6500 which used to last for max 90secs. Your advice here has fixed that problem - how simple. I must have fiddled about with this problem for 3 yrs! Thanks.
Mine is weird, sometimes it will only charge up to about 80%, then say "plugged-in, not charging" ... other times, it will charge to 100%. It seems like it might have a flaky cell.
francois grenier Ditto here. I installed a brand new, "genuine Dell" battery, identical to my original (which still works but is weakening). Laptop suddenly complains it's "not a genuine Dell" after 3 months of perfect performance. Message also says "battery 84%, plugged in, not charging." If I unplug, laptop dies sudden death (not shut-down),
I found mine would constantly say plugged in not charging. I powered off my device. Disconnect power plug. Removed battery. Pressed the power button about 5 to 10 times. Then reinstalled the battery and connected power. Wait a few minutes and turn on laptop. It works for me everytime.
I bought a new battery for my old laptop Dell because it wont charge at all, but when I installed the new one I got the same thing"plugged in, not charging" I did what in the video said but it didnt work. so had to change the adapter to a different watt and it worked. My previous adapter was 90 watt and wasnt original from Dell, and the new one it's not original too but has 45 watt. So, sometimes the adapter's capacity has the key for this problem
Im going to give this a try, but knowing what I do about these batteries everyone should be careful. It will be a great fix if its just a software problem, but if one of the cells is bad and you somehow convince (override) the internal protection this could get bad quickly. I lost my multi meter in a move, so ill wait till its replacex. As I think more and more about the difficulties recharging/overcharging lithium, id rather l open up the battery first and test for dead cells. Those cells are a problem even if one isnt as empty/full as the others
Thank you man,,,I follow the steps and i could charge my window 7 laptop back,,,, i was worried about it,,,,, sorry this is my step sister's mini ipad,,,, i use it to find the answer for this problem,,,, cause my phone were completely drained....and also my laptop.....thanks a lot bro...
Nick, I have a Lenovo laptop where two batteries have ended showing "plugged in, not charging". After going through all the steps you gave, I still get the same message. I was told by a computer shop technician that most batteries are now made in China and that they simply do not last. In my case each of those batteries lasted about one and half months only. Thanks for your advice, anyway.
Thanks, Nick it help me from buying a new battery that i don't need yet. Do i have to charge the battery full before turning it off and then charge it 3 times until is completely drain. Thanks
if you can charge up to 80 and it just stops there, it is most likely the bios, you can change this in the bios, it is best you have it on if you want to have the battery in your laptop longer. it saves your battery from exploding if it gets overcharged and it gets weeker every time you charge it up 100%
I did this yesterday on my Dell E6420 - and it worked great! It had been stuck at 10%, not charging and I've now been through 2 complete charge/discharge cycles, with the 3rd to complete this morning (as suggested).
My daughter just had no power-up/no charge. The charger cable checked out fine. I sprayed the battery connections with Radio Shack Tuner Cleaner Lube. Back in biz! Start simple...
I have Windows 8 and yesterday it started bugging out, When i take the charger out it shuts down. I tried the uninstall thing and it didnt work, I need help because back to school is coming and i havent fixed this. And its still 25% plugged in, not charging.
oh I'm sorry, I know you comment this out about 5 years ago. But may I ask if your laptop works now? Coz it also happen to me. I'm reaaly worried how to fix this, coz we have an online class. Hope you'll respect this. Thanks a lot
Need to use an old Lenovo U350 laptop which already has a replacement battery and has never worked or charged properly so always had to be plugged into the mains. However just done as per the video and now works perfectly on battery only. Thank you.
Does uninstalling thode plugins will create problem in laptops ? I mean if they aren't useful then why they were installed. Kindly reply my laptop is having this issue

OK, when you say connect the power adapter you need to mention (with the ac power switch on, else you will never be able to switch on your laptop and start Windows).Correct me if I am wrong
Dude, it worked man. Nice one. I use a Dell Inspiron 5558 and it's an awesome laptop. This resolved so many problems. I'm left with complete charge and drain out procedure now. Thanks a tonne Windows 10.1
I followed your steps and it worked for my hp laptop! thanks so much! I'm thinking I don't move it around at all and I always have it plugged in probably why it wasn't charging anymore

Thank you for this fix. It worked for me on my acer aspire 5750. I had replaced the ac jack last night, this problem started tonight so I thought I'd give it a go. The only thing I did different was I left the 3rd line(composite battery) uninstalled the other 2 as you instructed and I'm very happy that all is as it should be. Thank you very much.
Thanks a million times! It works with my Asus n53sv..kept the replacement battery for 2 years and didn't throw it away....and now it's charging.......
Thank you so much. I have been receiving the error message for two weeks and your advice worked perfectly. You're awesome!
great! thanks man keep it up !
Don't really see the video is really old but look at the effectiveness 🥺🥺🥺🥺 the laptop guy asked for 15$ to fix my battery issue and after watching this. I got it fixed myself. I can't thankyou buddy for your help. I wish wherever you're god bless you ❤️
THANK YOU !!! My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 5110, the original dell ac adapter, suddenly stopped working, so i bought a dell compatible ac adapter. It started showing the "plugged in, not charging" message. Your method did work!!! Battery is charging again!!!
Hey, I need help. What happens if the charger start blinking when you have it plugged into the laptop. It still happens even though I take out the battery. Help!
Did you find the answer to your problem?
@@Cxrm3n get a new charger it happend to me its the power supply
@@Pocol0c0s thank you
If you have a newer laptop that uses Li-Ion/Li-Fe/Li-Po batteries, do NOT fully discharge it, that's bad for the batteries.
And by "newer" you mean "it doesn't belong in a museum."
That advice has been outdated for a long time now.
I can't remember the last time I saw a laptop or cellphone that used NiCd batteries.
Major Gnuisance i wish you luck in your belief. That reminder does not only apply to NiCd. All batteries have a lower cutoff voltage. if you fully discharge it and leave it there for enough time, it will naturally self discharge to lower than the cutoff voltage and if left unnoticed, will kill the battery.

Sollux Captor thanks soll for the info
Worked PERFECTLY ON TOSHIBA SATELITE Upgraded to Windows 10.... been dealing with having to always have laptop plugged in or wouldn't work... did this and am typing this note on BATTERY POWER ONLY... FIRST TIME IN OVER A YEAR!!!
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATIVE / HELPFUL VIDEO NICK.
i did all thinks u said and still not working :( I got my laptop in 2012 that means battery should be good, but I don't know why not charging
1) If the battery calibration shown in my video did not work for you, try a different AC adapter plug. Try to borrow one from a friends laptop. 2) Your laptop may still be under warranty. Check into it.
***** I try my brother's AC adapter plug and still not charging
I tried this option as well with several OEM chargers and it didn't work. thanks anyways Nick.

me too, i tried what he said but it's didn't work :(

How do you drain your battery 3 times? Do you just use it w/o plugging it to the charger until battery % says 0? Is there a way to drain the battery?
badgyrl310 Just keep holding the power button after shutting down ur laptop it will drain the remaining battery
My old HP laptop wouldn’t charge or switch on with battery attached. With bat out started up, uninstalled the ACPI and shut down. Started with bat attached and it was charging again. Brilliant. How long this fix will last I don’t know but all good so far. Thanks
fixed... followed the steps from my phone!!! my os is windows 7 and as you say device reinstalled and all three light are now on and battery is charging!!!.... thank you very much!!!. ps i didn't quite know what you ment with instructions with complete draining of your battery is that fully charge and use it unplugged until you use all the battery power up!?.....
i get "plugged in, charging" but the battery never collect charge. it remains at 1%
and once AC power removed, laptop turns off immedietly.
I tried buying brand new one and when i first put it in, it worked until charge in it depleted then same problem
Seems like power isnt charging the battery
so now i run the laptop on Charger only. any solution for that ?
Zaid Alchalabi
same problem bro :( my laptop have notif states i should change my ac adapter
Srry bro there is no fix :( I had a laptop from like 2010 that did this and replacing battery and rewiring nothing helps
remove battery, disassemble laptop, remove clock battery, let set for a while, put back together, problem fixed... the problem is firmware in the laptop has detected a overheating issue and stopped the charging of the battery to prevent an explosion... usually not the batteries fault, but the firmware still triggers... this is common if your laptop has ever overheated...
Okay
My problem started 2 weeks ago. My laptop automatically shuts-off without low battery notification. As in completely power off not shutting down. And I ignore it but it's annoying. And then 3 days ago I realized then when my battery is 100% it's not green but a blinking orange. And I can still play for 30mins before charging it again but now I can't turn-on my laptop without charging it and it says "89% plugged in, not charging" Hope this method can fix it.
Anj Choi Nope. Still the same.
Anj Choi what model you have?
Vlad K. samsung np350e7c a01us
Anj Choi hi did you fix it i have exactly the same problem with a samsung laptop
no. they said I need to buy a new battery,
My laptop battery had not been charging for a few days. I found your video this morning and tried it. It Worked! Thanks, I was going to buy a new power cord but your video saved me some money.
Tried it today on my 1 week new laptop - an HP g6 - and it works ! Thanks a lot..
It worked with my battery, battery didnt work for months lol, till I tried this.
Christoph Schnapp
Thanks a lot for this battery solution !!! It worked for me ;)
Glad to see people like you helping others, this is what life is all about !!
Stay safe and keep on the good work Nick
I thought that my motherboard is shorted,,,, after one year I watch your video,, and now I know that it is softwere problem and problem it's solved,,,,,,, very very thanked to you
IT WORKED!!! I couldn't start without battery in it, so that is weird that you can, I just deleted that one thing, restarted puter and now it's charging my new battery, before when I hovered curser over plug icon it would not show charge status. THANK YOU - NICKSCOMPUTERFIX!!!
Nope. Didn't work. Better head back to the drawing board.
Not so sure this guys laptop that he was using to demo his tip had a battery charging issue. At the beginning of the video we never see him show us that his battery is not charging. At the end he shows us that his tip "worked." I'll give it a try but not very convincing.
sambking he never uninstalled the acpi controllers. so I assume his was working just fine for purposes of uploading this video
but what if it dosent turn on and u know it's the battery
CÌÑÑÃMMŌÑ THÊ WØLF if you plug in the charger and it still doesn't turn on there is something else is wrong with it other than the battery
SO FAR IT'S GOOD!!!! The issue with my Toshiba was it was powering on but would automatically turn off after 5 seconds of being on... I did as instructed from the video and is been on for about 5 mins now ... THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !!!!
Worked for me HP Pavillon G6. Man, didnt trust for a bit that this would work. I had this problem for more than 1 year. I had to get another pc bcz i thought that this one was broken. Thanks dude!!!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH fist i thought i broke my laptop
My laptop won't turn on even with the adapter on?
Not trying to be cute...but it could be that you may have a faulty charger.
Nice little quick and easy to understand video and the procedure worked on my HP 650 G1 laptop. The battery wouldn't charge as I bought this not knowing how long it had been dormant. Thanks Nick. You're a peach.
1st try-and it worked..even showed a full charge!. i've been using ac for months. did not want to buy a second hand battery. thank you so much.
I followed every step, but it still went to "plugged in, not charging". What do I do now? :(
If this is your case, chances are your issue is hardware related. This sometimes happens (most commonly in DELL laptops). The AC adapter has an ID pin that tells the laptop that the charger is offical from the manufacturer. You can still turn on the laptop using the charger, but it will refuse to charge the battery if the pin is broken. You can try twisting the end that goes into your laptop a little. Sometimes this works. Otherwise you will most likely need to replace the AC adapter (charger) for your laptop. If possible, try someone elses charger or maybe go to a tech store because if it still wont work with their charger, its likely that the hardware fault is actully on your laptop's mobo instead of your charger. In this case, you most likely will need to get a new laptop unless you're good at soldiering and fixing circuits. lol
Either that, or continue to endure no charge. If your battery is the same as someone else you know that can actually charge theirs, just keep swapping batteries.
***** sometimes the charger is fine original and all and the dell laptop has it's recognition chip broken so it won't recognise the charger
Also this chip is hard to find if not impossible
P.S. ..just saying.
yea, thats a good point. I wouldnt purchase dell. Seriously, if you want a nice laptop that will last i'd go lenovo. (just my opinion). Dell is notorious for faulty machines and my parents have this charging issue because they never listened to me when i told them not to get a DELL. ;) live and learn right?
***** I guess your parents were just paying you back for the 248,000 times you didn't listen to them while you were groing up, right? :D
hahah, couldnt agree more mate. XD
It didn't work for me. maybe i need to replace my battery since my laptop is a 2009 Asus k50c
lol lol lol my lapto is a hp from that date
Thank you! Battery on my laptop died 3-4 months ago and I stopped using it since, thinking I needed a new battery and not knowing I could use it without the battery.. Now I know better!! Thanks again! :))
Nick - you are a complete star! I have bought 2 batteries for my Dell M6500 which used to last for max 90secs. Your advice here has fixed that problem - how simple. I must have fiddled about with this problem for 3 yrs! Thanks.
Mine is weird, sometimes it will only charge up to about 80%, then say "plugged-in, not charging" ... other times, it will charge to 100%. It seems like it might have a flaky cell.
+Benjamin “Ozias” Esposti Did you find a fix? Even i have the same issue!
did not work. battery is brand new. any suggestions?
Same thing is happening with my battery. It's brand new and isn't charging.
francois grenier Ditto here. I installed a brand new, "genuine Dell" battery, identical to my original (which still works but is weakening). Laptop suddenly complains it's "not a genuine Dell" after 3 months of perfect performance. Message also says "battery 84%, plugged in, not charging." If I unplug, laptop dies sudden death (not shut-down),
Mary Jones i solved my problem...it was the charge cable that sucked.
I found mine would constantly say plugged in not charging. I powered off my device. Disconnect power plug. Removed battery. Pressed the power button about 5 to 10 times. Then reinstalled the battery and connected power. Wait a few minutes and turn on laptop. It works for me everytime.
I bought a new battery for my old laptop Dell because it wont charge at all, but when I installed the new one I got the same thing"plugged in, not charging" I did what in the video said but it didnt work. so had to change the adapter to a different watt and it worked. My previous adapter was 90 watt and wasnt original from Dell, and the new one it's not original too but has 45 watt. So, sometimes the adapter's capacity has the key for this problem
I did it just like you said and it worked great! I battery is now charging 100%. Thanks man
The problem is not for laptops is for the charger "AC adapter"
my computer doesn't turn on without the battery
me too
That may mean your adapter doesn't work at all.
then, what do we do?
+Quenton Wong buy a new one
i changed the motherboard, and it works fine
Im going to give this a try, but knowing what I do about these batteries everyone should be careful. It will be a great fix if its just a software problem, but if one of the cells is bad and you somehow convince (override) the internal protection this could get bad quickly.
I lost my multi meter in a move, so ill wait till its replacex. As I think more and more about the difficulties recharging/overcharging lithium, id rather l open up the battery first and test for dead cells. Those cells are a problem even if one isnt as empty/full as the others
Thank you man,,,I follow the steps and i could charge my window 7 laptop back,,,, i was worried about it,,,,, sorry this is my step sister's mini ipad,,,, i use it to find the answer for this problem,,,, cause my phone were completely drained....and also my laptop.....thanks a lot bro...
Thanks Nick appreciate your effort, it worked. The Key is follow the Steps.
Thank you so much!!! I was literally about to buy another laptop!
Nick, I have a Lenovo laptop where two batteries have ended showing "plugged in, not charging". After going through all the steps you gave, I still get the same message. I was told by a computer shop technician that most batteries are now made in China and that they simply do not last. In my case each of those batteries lasted about one and half months only. Thanks for your advice, anyway.
Thanks, Nick it help me from buying a new battery that i don't need yet. Do i have to charge the battery full before turning it off and then charge it 3 times until is completely drain. Thanks
I can't believe that this worked!! Great video, thanks and sending over 1.5 lbs of good Karma!
Hasn't worked for me. Still stuck at 80% plugged in not charging.
it might be a bad battery. I have a Dell Latitude D620 and it's currently showing 23% remaining it thinks that it's charging but it's not.
max miser I had to take the battery out and then put it back for mine to work
if you can charge up to 80 and it just stops there, it is most likely the bios, you can change this in the bios, it is best you have it on if you want to have the battery in your laptop longer.
it saves your battery from exploding if it gets overcharged and it gets weeker every time you charge it up 100%
I did this yesterday on my Dell E6420 - and it worked great! It had been stuck at 10%, not charging and I've now been through 2 complete charge/discharge cycles, with the 3rd to complete this morning (as suggested).
My daughter just had no power-up/no charge. The charger cable checked out fine. I sprayed the battery connections with Radio Shack Tuner Cleaner Lube. Back in biz! Start simple...
***** excuse me mr. nick, but what shall happen if we uninstall both of them and doesn't re install again?
No more battery
EXPLOSION!
I have Windows 8 and yesterday it started bugging out, When i take the charger out it shuts down. I tried the uninstall thing and it didnt work, I need help because back to school is coming and i havent fixed this. And its still 25% plugged in, not charging.
oh I'm sorry, I know you comment this out about 5 years ago. But may I ask if your laptop works now? Coz it also happen to me. I'm reaaly worried how to fix this, coz we have an online class. Hope you'll respect this. Thanks a lot
Need to use an old Lenovo U350 laptop which already has a replacement battery and has never worked or charged properly so always had to be plugged into the mains. However just done as per the video and now works perfectly on battery only. Thank you.
Does uninstalling thode plugins will create problem in laptops
? I mean if they aren't useful then why they were installed. Kindly reply my laptop is having this issue
Bro these files after uninstalling again gets installed when you put your battery back to the laptop
it did work, thanks bro. Everything's working fine 👌👏👏👏
should i uninstall the ac one as well or just the one that says acpi?

It worked. I don't have to buy a new laptop, the generic battery I bought works well on my Dell. Will NEVER buy a replacement Dell battery again.
OK, when you say connect the power adapter you need to mention (with the ac power switch on, else you will never be able to switch on your laptop and start Windows).Correct me if I am wrong
omg thank you! i was keeping my fingers crossed that this would help and it did :D
Thanks It worked
It worked for me perfectly!
I bought is before about 3-4 years and changed battery just before 1 month.
My laptop is HP Pavilion.

I followed your steps and it worked for my hp laptop! thanks so much! I'm thinking I don't move it around at all and I always have it plugged in probably why it wasn't charging anymore
