ive had my laptop for 3months and now, although the laptop is running off the
mains fine, it wont charge via the mains charger. the small battery symbol is indicating that my laptop is plugged in, but is at 0% battery and is not charging. would this be a problem with the battery or with the charger? Thanks Ali |

Contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

The same thing just happened to me which is what brought me to this site. I
have a 3 month old computer that works fine. when I click on the battery icon it states it is plugged in and not charging. why would this be? "AnaRaquel" wrote: Hi! That's funny!

Idiot. if the Icon is wrong it is a software problem, if the sensors in the machine are wrong it is a hardware problem. We need to establish the "Real" cause of the problem, not just accuse the manufacturer or user. Nonny the best thing you can do for Microsoft is crawl into a corner and hide, because you are at best a troll and more often a nuisance. Go forth and let the problem be properly investigated. Jean et al... does the computer keep it's charge despite the readings, I mean does it work to your expectations or are there obvious battery problems? If it works okay then there are several possible reasons, one is Vista another is the manufacturer's software and another is the hardware itself. If the battery lives up to your expectations then it is a software problem |

I don't know if the exact answer is warranty... in my case I didn't send the
computer to warranty. What I did was an ugrade to the BIOS but after that, the battery didin't start immediately working. After a few times working with the pc it started... however sometimes, when my vista updates my battery stays a bit confuse... not sure why but it doesn't indicate the time for example... but after a few times restarting the pc, it works again...

If your system is plugged in will stop charging when the battery is fully
charged since to continue to charge a fully charged battery can damage the battery. It will not need to be charged again till the laptop is run again on battery power only.
