Solution to Battery plugged in but not charging



Today As usual I was using my laptop when I saw something typical happening with Battery status. Even though the power was plugged in, it showed ” plugged in, not charging“.

So I started doing a bit of googling on the web and finally found the solution here.



  1. Turn off laptop.
  2. Unplug AC power.
  3. Remove battery.
  4. Replace AC power.
  5. Turn on laptop, allow OS to boot.
  6. Once logged in to the machine, perform a normal shut down.
  7. Unplug AC power.
  8. Replace battery.
  9. Replace AC power.
  10. Turn on laptop, allow OS to boot. The battery should once again be charging as normal.
The above solution worked for me. Another alternative solution which may work for those for whom the above solution does not work (Windows 7 Specific).
1. Unplug AC adapter. Shutdown
2. Remove battery, Connect AC Adapter
3. Start windows7. Remove Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery,
WARNING: Do not remove the Microsoft AC Adapter driver or any other ACPI compliant driver.
4. On the Device Manager taskbar, click Scan for hardware changes

OR

4. Shutdown, Remove AC Adapter, Install battery, Reattach AC Adapter.
5. Power up -
Now Plugged in and Charging.
Another reason which sometime result in battery not being charged is, your Laptop gets heated due to congestion around the laptop or if the surface on which laptop is placed  is blocking the proper air flow around the laptop in turn raising the temperature and laptop gets heated. You should place your laptop on a surface or place which allows proper airflow.  If the airflow is proper, then also this problem will go away.
