TheFantasm Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 If there's any tech savvy people here I'd appreciate the help; The issue is that my laptop refuses to hold a charge, if you hold the cursor over the icon, you can even see the % dropping. I recently purchased and replaced the battery, so that can't be the issue. The A/C adapter still acts like it's working (plugged in/charging) so I'm thinking it's not that either. Could it be an internal issue, or something else that i'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Cat Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I would say defective battery (maybe try the old one if you still have it) or defective AC Adapter (maybe borrow a friends and try it). Different combos might help you find the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamon Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I have some similar issues from time to time. It's very basic, and might be a stupid question, but did you try removing the battery and putting it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutterz Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Depending on how your battery is positioned, it might not be in all the way, could also be that there's dust on the contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suikashoujo Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I actually had this exact issue not too long ago, and it was a dead battery. So you might want to look into buying a new one if nothing else is working, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFantasm Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 I know it's not the battery, as the replacement came in today. Tried taking it out and making sure it was in properly, and it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if someone has a different charging cable you can try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeysrumble Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I doubt that this is the issue but have you tried updating the drivers for the battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astro Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Did you try turning it off and on again Homaru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFantasm Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Think I figured out why it wasn't working. It's because I derped. The replacement battery I ordered wasn't for the right model # as my laptop. That'll do it, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll do it, right? It might be that, if it's not a battery that fits many models, many do. It could also be that your "new" battery is not at all new. Sometimes things can lay on shelfs for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
