Plugged In, Not Charging?
When I came into work this morning I noticed that the battery icon in the task tray of my windows 7 laptop said “63% available (plugged in, not charging)”. Naturally the “plugged in, not charging” part was a concern. After Googling for suggested fixes and trying a few different things I hit on a fix that worked for me. Here it is:
- Shutdown normally.
- Close lid when completely shut down.
- Remove AC adapter.
- Remove battery.
- Replace AC adapter.
- Open lid and turn on.
- After a full startup do a normal shutdown.
- Close lid when completely shut down.
- Remove AC adapter.
- Replace battery.
- Replace AC adapter.
- Open lid and start up normally.
