The laptop does not charge: look for the problem and fix it

One of the most common laptop malfunctions is a non-charging battery when the power supply is running. This problem may suddenly appear even in a newcomer who has just been brought from a supermarket device. Read on for a detailed analysis of common sources of damage and ways to eliminate them.

Laptop does not turn on

The most common reason for not loading a laptop is a malfunction in the energy store. The battery stops holding the charge, the power is not received and does not allow you to turn on the device. It is easy to detect a break: in this case there is no indication button, the LEDs do not light up, and the laptop functions only when charging is on. The solution is to change or repack the battery. Damage can also be found inside the laptop's charging mechanism. With this outcome, the gadget does not turn on with or without charging. To test, you can connect another drive and boot the laptop. Here will only purchase a new charge.

In order to avoid complications in the power connector, you must first connect the power cord to a laptop and then only the plug into the outlet. This eliminates the possibility of short-term occurrence of a spark at the time of connecting the plug. Among other global problems there may be a broken adapter, open contactors, BIOS firmware bug and others.

Reference! If there is a guarantee on the used equipment, then in circumstances of impossibility to start the system on your own, you should use the services of the service center.

Laptop does not charge

There are often cases when a perfectly working battery suddenly stops functioning normally. In this case, the laptop itself is working and charging is carried out. Universal method - reset parameters in BIOS. To do this, unplug the power supply and remove the battery. Then hold the connection button for about one minute, then plug the wire into place and connect the equipment to the electricity.

After turning on the laptop, open the BIOS with a phased combination of the F2, F12 and DEL buttons. You must return the original settings and save them. Then turn on the PC again and with the power button held down, de-energize the equipment and reinsert the drive. Soon a flashing notice will appear that the charge is set.

Consider other problems and options for eliminating them:

The screen should pop up a hint that the battery is connected, but there is no charge. In such circumstances, you should check the power supply voltage in the entire room or a point outlet.
A problem with an electrical cable that may twist or interfere. In other words, it may be damaged, which is often not visible to the eye. The voltage is checked by a tester or by connecting the cord to a third-party unit. In most cases, you have to spend money and purchase a new cable.
The adapter is disconnected. If you are confident that there are no problems with the wiring, then you should look at the adapter. The sensor may burn, but this does not mean that the equipment functions correctly.
Battery overheated. In order not to spoil the drive, the system automatically blocks its charging. If the problem is found in a couple of minutes after switching on, then the snag is hidden in the battery re-heating.
Software bugs. It is possible that the battery is still charging, but this indicator does not show. You should reboot and examine the parameters again. If an illegal software has been downloaded to administer the power mechanism, it should be removed and the accuracy of ACPI operation should be checked. To do this, in the task manager, find the section on batteries. If the specified point is not there, then this already indicates a hardware defect of the links or connectors.

Why is the new laptop battery not charging?

The newly acquired device operates under a standardized license. In such circumstances, the battery does not charge due to a manufacturing defect or erroneous battery recognition. It is better to eliminate the inconsistency in the proposed way:

disconnect the gadget from the electrical outlet;
remove the drive;
press for about twenty seconds on the main button;
put the battery back;
plug in the charge and make sure the launch is correct.

If the equipment has a removable battery, you should completely disconnect the charge and remove the drive from your box. Next, hold the power key for one minute. Then put the battery in place, turn on the charging and after 15 minutes, start the device. You can also turn off the charging of the working device, and the battery can not be left alone. The power key is held until the device is completely turned off and the power module is started. After a quarter of an hour, the laptop can be turned on again.

Attention! The problem in question may occur with any technology, regardless of its age or manufacturer.

Why the laptop only works on the network

In 99% of the difficulties encountered, the drive is to blame. After all, any battery has its approximate guaranteed period of use. If the device is physically outdated and the battery has not changed since the time of purchase, then you will have to buy another one. The fact is that after a specific time, the cells lose their properties and it is already unrealistic to charge them. A breakdown can be identified only by a technician of the customer support service using specific equipment. If the battery is completely new, then the following reasons are possible:

The usual short circuit caused by a poor-quality battery. In this version, you need to get it and work on the device without it. Then the battery is inserted back and already included only with him, not focusing on the network.
Even brand new batteries can “sit down” in a short amount of time. After all, all determined by the characteristics of the assembly and reliability of the equipment supplier.

Often there are situations when the user cannot understand the inconsistency because the drive is connected and the display button indicates its charging. However, in reality it is not. In the specified circumstances it is necessary to apply already described methods. If they did not work, then the snag should be sought in the following:

Defect of charging or weakness of its power due to wear of its components. If the gadget loads quickly without a battery, then pay close attention to the power module or other links and micro connectors.
Drive failure or controller malfunction.
Faults due to wiring and connection. Often happens oxidation.
Damage to the charging connector.

Important! In more difficult circumstances, flaws can be detected at the level of the power structure of the gadget itself, and only experienced experts can diagnose them.

What to do?

Before taking a variety of activities with his own hand, it should be clearly understood that the power module is inserted both into the device and into the electrical outlet. If the connection is through a network filter, you should make sure that it works. If the power supply consists of a pair of independent elements, turn them off and then reassemble. Consider more specific subtleties that may come in handy:

Often there are inconsistencies with utilities after installing updates, so it is recommended to download the original software to adjust the power supply. For example, in some of the advertised utilities, the mode is set to ensure the longest possible battery life. It can be a blocker of the receipt of a charge. Ultramodern systems are able to independently determine the best order of using the drive. Therefore, it is more correct not to download dubious programs.
The charging tip pops up, even if you disconnect the PC from the network with a fully charged drive and reconnect after a short time. The message will disappear soon.

Reference! It does not hurt to make sure that other household appliances (tape recorder, toaster, etc.) in the apartment or office are working.

When there are problems with charging a laptop, most of their owners prefer to immediately buy a new battery. After all, the warranty time of the battery is designed for 3-4 thousand times the charge and the reserve gradually decreases. However, there is no guarantee that a change of element will solve this fault. It is possible to establish possible causes of malfunctions on your own, without calling the master
