This really works!!! My laptop is now charging, and I could not be more pleased to find out I don't have to buy a new battery for my laptop!!! 😄 I highly recommend this to anyone who is having any problem with their laptop battery
Skydoes Bg Well, obviously I did. Why would I memorise the video..? Either way, it didn't work. Well, it did for a couple of charges but the third time I started up my laptop, the same problem again...
Hey you guys, just wanted to let you know this does work! I hadn't used my laptop for over a year (since 2015). I finally pulled it out and got a new charger for it (previous one broke). noticed I had this problem and came up here and followed the steps. When I first turned it back on after putting the battery back in it stayed on one percent for a few minutes maybe like 10. so I closed my laptop and opened it back up. it was still on 1%. I turned my head and looked back and it was at 20% and now it's charging steadily. This is the first charge so I haven't let it die yet, but I will once I get to that far. I'll let you guys know how it goes from there. Jan 11, 2017 (hp pavilion dv6)
Awesome! Totally worked and took like 10 minutes. I was so worried that I'd have to replace my battery/ac adapter again. You, sir, just saved me $40. Thank you!
nick i just did the tutorial on my laptop, that was fantastic, its working again, and it was so simple. especially for someone like me who is not to good with computers. thank you!
OMG!!! I am one of the most computer illiterate people you'd ever meet. However, I followed your instructions with precision and my battery is working like charm!! Thank you so much!! Simply amazing and problem solved! :)
Genius! This was soooo easy to do and it worked. I was so worried that my laptop was doomed and I'd have to pay a fortune to get it fixed or buy a new one, but I decided to give this a try and it worked. I'm not at all a techy or computer person and I got it on my own on the first try. Thank you, Nick!!! You rock :-)
@@m3anmug it doesnt charge ur laptop . But it gives power to turn on your laptop. As long as your charger is connected to ur laptop it is turned on. Simple. Insert charger and connect charger to powerpoint then turn on power. Even 1st grade students know this.
@@gurupai629 I think I worded what I was trying to say wrong. My son has a laptop that won't charge and dead so it won't boot. So it must be the port or something.
Thanks for the reply Nick. That was a new battery. I went to return the battery and found out it was not a new battery I needed, but a new AC plug. Thanks again, if not for you I would have never knew. You are still the best trouble shooter out there!!!
i had the same problem with a hp2000. I bought a batttery first and tried this procedure. and it failed. I had a generic after market 90w charger and plugged it in and worked. so i compared the 2. the voltages are slightly different by 1 volt. but the amperage is 1amp greater on the after market charger. I'll run a meter on both chargers and see if there is a voltage problem.
Thank you for this simple and quick fix to a very frustrating problem. I was getting ready to call the extended warranty company when I came across this video. You made my day. I really appreciate it.
Appears to have worked on an HP 15 Windows 10, version 10.0.16299.125 (at least it's charging now - until the next Windows 10 update, lol). It was stuck on 1% and not charging. Following the instructions in this video produced the desired results. It took about 4 minutes to perform the steps. It may not work for every situation but if your battery is good and your charger is good then you should try this. A biG THANKS for the quick video that got right to the point.
Brilliant! After I upgraded to Windows 10, I started seeing "plugged in, not charging" on my laptop. Tried various suggestions, then yours. Yours worked-- and I didn't even have to drain/recharge the battery. Cheers.
omg this happend to me , i tried 2 different charges and the laptop didnt want to charge . I followed all your steps and for now everything is smooth. Thank you !
Hi, I tried the steps in your video, and they WORKED! So, my question is, what is the reason for the problem, and why do these steps fix it? Also, on the first and second recharges, the battery was charged up to 100%. However, on the third, recharging stopped at 80%. I let the battery discharge down to ~77%, then plugged in AC power, and it recharged again up to 80%, and stopped. BTW, it was at 80% when I first noticed the issue, which your video steps fixed. Any ideas about what may be going on? Thanks!
Works like a charm! To me, key was to let the battery drain completely in step 12 even after the laptop shut itself down by itself by hitting the power button and letting it continue. I tried several other suggestions for over six months and the battery full charge kept dropping. Thanks for the video and simple to follow instructions.
I can't do step 6 because my battery's 0% and NOT CHARGING. Help. UPDATE: The battery was killed by either age or physical force. Bought a new one and it works again.
Thanks man, I was worried that this method will not work cause it's more than 2 years old video but it worked and I very very thankful for you, your saved my work
This would work for me, but my laptop is always on "0% available, (plugged in not charging)" so the moment I remove the charger the laptop will shut down, thus I can not proceed in doing the rest of the steps.
+Caprica Six , and everyone on this thread. You have to shut down the PC and unplug it (for safety reasons) BEFORE you take the battery out. THEN, (without the battery) plug it in, turn on to Windows, uninstall drivers mentioned on the video, shut off again, unplug, put battery back on, re-plug, turn on PC. That's it. PS. If your PC doesn't turn on with just the power adapter, you might have (1) a broken AC jack, or (2) a bad power adapter.
+Caprica Six first shutdown then remove charger, your laptop is off you don't need any battery %.. then remove battery and plug on the AC charger then turn on your laptop.. I had the same problem but it worked for me..
Worked perfectly! Thanks so much. I am however a bit confused with regards to step 12. Should I not charge the battery and let it drain until it dies, then recharge it again? Also, to cool it should I just leave it turned off for a while? Thanks!
Some batteries are not removable because they use an epoxy to seal it. This is often seen on the really slim stuff. Basically, you are fucked. You could bring it to a tech, but usually it will cost more to repair than to buy a new one. Next time check that you can replace the battery.
@@mercydlaba4145 th-cam.com/video/Da4ilNuUCsg/w-d-xo.html For opening the case of the battery there are different ways, you can use a little bit of petrol or alchohol or use a heatgunnor hair blower to soften the glue
You rock. Well done. fixed issue on my Fujitsu Lifebook T732 after I had replaced both batteries and it STILL told me it was limiting charge because batteries were old.
I have a asus g75 laptop and I encountered this problem today what I did to fix. 1.Go to device manager. 2.Click on Batteries,this should bring up 3 sections. 3.Right click on all batter categories and then chose scan for hardware changes on each one.. After I did that my laptop started charging again as usual and the battery indicator no longer says Plugged in No charging. Hope it works for u I didn't even take my battery out or unplug charger or anything.
I had this issue last night on my newly bought Asus X550L Laptop (which is 4 days old) And using Device Manager thing it worked.. Thanks Million.. but one Question. is it alright if I plug always AC Adapter?? because it's kinda habit after my first Asus X51R Laptop Battery work for 5 Years without any issues..
Ok it worked all right! but I don't quite understand the last step. Like I need to charge the battery full, remove it, let it cool, the drain it, re-plug the charger and that's one round of 3? or is it that I need to charge the battery full, then remove the battery to let it cool and only then resume the procedure?
I'm thinking the same! Is there an effective way to drain your battery? I know on IOS devices, there is an app to drain the battery and then charge it to full again, but not sure if there's an easy way to do it with a laptop? O.O
my laptop wont charge for some reason idk why. when i plug the charger into the lappy, three things will start blinking, the power button, the battery light and another light next to the battery light. pls help ;---;
OMG YOU HELP ME A LOT!!! I WAS ABOUT TO BUY A NEW BATTERY BECAUSE I WENT TO A PC SHOP AND ASK ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND HE TOLD ME TO BUY A NEW BATTERY!!! OMG!!! I AM SO HAPPY I SAW THIS VIDEO!!! YOU SAVE MY LAPTOP AND MY MONEY TOO!!!! GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH!!! :)
I'm not an expert but it's probably the AC adapter then. Are you using the adapter that came with the laptop? My laptop stopped charging when I replaced my original adapter with a multi-purpose generic one.
Ok but what if my laptop is dead and the charger doesn't seem to work? I can't even get it to turn on, any suggestions? it was working fine the day before and I didn't download anything or open anything besides minecraft and planetside?
Chris Sauber G no problem. If a universal adaptor is too expensive just buy a new charger for your laptop. it's most likely the ac adapter that's broken.
This didn't work for me, but what finally did is simpler: Key concept: An OS like Windows will automatically shut the laptop off when it THINKS the battery is low, even if the voltage is still OK. BIOS setup will let it run until power is truly gone and the voltage drops too low. 1) With the battery in and the laptop plugged in, turn it on. 2) Immediately go into BIOS setup. Hit ESC, DEL, F8, F2, whatever your laptop takes. 3) Do not leave setup. Just let it sit there. 3) Unplug the laptop, but leave the battery in 4) Let the battery drain until the laptop shuts off due to lack of voltage. 5) Plug it back in and boot it up. Presto! The battery fully charges.
Hey, Mr.Nick....i have done the all the steps...but i won't able to charge my laptop battery...and also have that same problem...*0% available (plugged in, not charging) please help please reply
I don't fully understand what you mean by step 12, do you want us to charge our computer and then let it die right afterwards, and then charge it again?
+REF1EX I think you mean your battery is not externally seen? o.O Some laptops you have to take the entire bottom plate off in order to remove the battery.
In my case HP laptop, the battery charges, it shows that it charges as well, plugged in charging but it always remains at 0% even if its plugged in for an entire day...what does that mean, battery replacement time ?
try borrowing another charger, I have 2 chargers, 1 turns my laptop ON but it won't charge the battery, the second charger turns my laptop ON and it also charges my battery, I think the charger has a battery charge sensor that can go bad, good luck
+SaucySpaceFries Same here ;-; My PC has completely gone broken. Yesterday it was completely fine. Charger cable is sorta loose Won't charge House is not blacked out with no electricity Tried every plug in the house Tried cooling everything down for like a WHOLE day still won't work It doesn't even say plugged in, not charging, it doesn't even say plugged in at all ;-; Checked whole Wire of the charger for any cracks or weird noises when I stroke it. I don't have a battery box in the middle of my charger because thats how it is. PLEASE HELP I AM DOING EVERYTHING TO PRESERVE DIS BATTERY LIFE RIGHT NOW
I know this is an old video, but I have an old laptop by today’s standards. Anyway I have a company laptop which is full of security crap, so I decided to pull out my old faithful HP G61, blow off the dust and fire it up but low n behold as expected the battery was caput, so I bought a new one and installed but wouldn’t charge, so I followed this guide to the T and hey presto the new one is now charging up woop woop 🙌🏼 So big thanks to ya dude. Side note, this also works the same for anyone running windows 10 like me.
This never works. And those devices won't show up in device manager if the battery isn't in your laptop, newb. The problem is on the motherboard. I've seen it on 6 different models of HP laptops. All manufactured within the last 5 years. Pull out the motherboard, your soldering tools, and a magnifying glass.
Thanks so much! 👍👍👍 You saved me the cost of a new battery. Another vid basically said that the only way out was to replace the old battery. Not all advice is good advice - I'm really happy you helped out!
ASUS LAPTOP - non removable battery - Whenever i charge my laptop it says plugged in, not charging but when i unplug the AC plug when the laptop is on , it will shutdown by itself is there any way that i can fix this ?
So, I did all of the steps, but the microsoft ACPI didnt "auto-install" it just showed back up in the device manager and it didn't resolve the issue. Is it the battery?
SAME! For a while, I've had to press the socket hard against something and hold it in a certain position to get it to hold a charge. I got frustrated and finally opened it up to see what it was. Unplugged the cable, re-plugged it back in and it seemed to be getting the charge. Ever since, it hasn't been charging.
***** This guy. Everyone listen to this guy. I took off my battery and sure enough both male and female ports on my laptop/battery were dusty as hell (kinda embarrassing but true). Turned on my laptop and everything was back to normal. You just saved me a butt load of time. Thanks!
Could a two prong adapter short circuit and ruin the ac plug because I went through 3 of those and always use the adapter. I tested with my moms plug and it always works with my battery. She has a three prong wall outlet so she doesn't need an adapter.
I'm working on the same problem. I finally purchased new batteries that are (in my case) direct from Lenovo. I had a battery that I suspected was black-market and after a few months it prevented the laptop from powering up when said black-market battery was in place so I removed it and was able to operate. Now (with the Lenovo battery) it works with batteries in place, but charging is intermittent. The solution so far is to power down, remove battery, re-install battery, power up and charging is OK again. Arrrrrrrrrrgh!
You don't need to do any of the above. Leave the battery in, go to the search box and type 'device manager,' delete the drivers under the 'Battery' listing, right click 'scan for new hardware'. Job done! Your pc will see the battery and install new drivers.
geoffphuket In case I was not clear: The black-market battery, when plugged in, prevented the Lenovo from powering on! Anyway, I solved my charging problem by using Lenovo's System restore, back to Win7. The charging problem came up after I installed a non-Lenovo Win8.
Tried it and it worked!!! if it works for you its a software problem...if not its a hardware problem probably a short in the cable or a fault in the transformer in the adapter
Take ur laptop to the top floor & throw it. This problem will go with peace 😇 agar dell ka hoga to aajao mass suicide of laptops world record banate hai
10 years on and new laptops lol. Process is good for learning, even today, and issue was gradually lowering % of charger working over couple of years that has come down to 3%+ up to 12% max and I will try a new battery as a test tomorrow. Hope all enjoy good learning 😃
Great video. Tried everything. Realized I am missing the Microsoft Composite Battery - driver. I can't find it anywhere online, to install. Is not reinstalled after following the instructions in this video. Still missing.
If you're here looking in the comment section that this works or not, then yes go for it this works for real. At first I was too lazy to power on and off it over and over again but when I tried it helped to fixed this problem i was facing for past week.
Thank you! This is working for me. I have a quick question. After you turn the laptop back on, you mention to do the battery drain 3x. If the laptop is down to 50% power after doing all your steps, should I charge it to 100% before doing the battery drain OR just let it drain from the 50% mark?
This really works!!! My laptop is now charging, and I could not be more pleased to find out I don't have to buy a new battery for my laptop!!! 😄 I highly recommend this to anyone who is having any problem with their laptop battery
This tric not work
How much they pay you ?
Okay, but if I do step one and shut down my laptop I can't see the rest of the steps...
If your memory is not good enough watch it on your phone.
Skydoes Bg Memory? The first step is to turn the computer off. Memory doesn't work when the computer is off.
RealCoolGuy ok lets say it that way: If you cant remember the steps then watch the video on your phone ;-;
Skydoes Bg Well, obviously I did. Why would I memorise the video..? Either way, it didn't work. Well, it did for a couple of charges but the third time I started up my laptop, the same problem again...

Try buy a universal laptop charger. Or try connect your ac adaptor charger to a different connector.

I’m here in 2021 and this still works!! Thank you so much I’m so relieved I thought it was my laptop
i dont get the "plugged in,not charging" message, its just not charging, and no this did not work
+Verxx567 I had deactivated Automatic Windows updates and after I updated Microsoft Essentials my charger worked Again.
This didn't work for me, but what finally did is simpler:
Key concept: An OS like Windows will automatically shut the laptop off when it THINKS the battery is low, even if the voltage is still OK. BIOS setup will let it run until power is truly gone and the voltage drops too low.
1) With the battery in and the laptop plugged in, turn it on.
2) Immediately go into BIOS setup. Hit ESC, DEL, F8, F2, whatever your laptop takes.
3) Do not leave setup. Just let it sit there.
3) Unplug the laptop, but leave the battery in
4) Let the battery drain until the laptop shuts off due to lack of voltage.
5) Plug it back in and boot it up. Presto! The battery fully charges.
does it really work?
So after two years of dealing with this issue I just bought a new AC adapter and it worked!!!
Hey, Mr.Nick....i have done the all the steps...but i won't able to charge my laptop battery...and also have that same problem...*0% available (plugged in, not charging) please help please reply
It probably means your battery is completely dead and you need a new one
@@davideaezakmi9530 yeahh....that is already did...but can you suggest me the best one bettery
@@abhishekprajapati2961 it has to be compatible with your laptop so it has to be from the same brand... you don't have much choice
Hmm... feels weird to not have an Indian tech support tell me how to fix this issue. Thanks for the help though my good man
Yeah, always Indians are in tutorials and it seems a bit weird XDDDD
And even I am surprised that many of Indians tutorial works
@@RDev-z8i Why are you surprised?
@@darshanlalhanda3204 ya same question?
thank you so much..i was worried if my laptops battery had an issue or needed replacement..it worked...it's charging now
When i plug my AC charger it shows "plugged in not charging" but when i use another AC charger its charging, is my problem by my adapter?
Of course
Check for breaks or exposed wires, my laptop charger has exposed wires and I might replace it for that reason.
What if my laptop has 0% battery and won't charge
@Faceoff4534 Gaming I took the battery out of mine....nothing.
Faceoff4534 Gaming didnt work smh
Try a different power supply by MFG. Worked for me. 0% available (plugged in not charging) dell laptop make sure you use a dell charger.
@Faceoff4534 Gaming hahah
My battery was good.
I don't fully understand what you mean by step 12, do you want us to charge our computer and then let it die right afterwards, and then charge it again?
on my laptop i cant remove the battery
What?
+REF1EX I think you mean your battery is not externally seen? o.O Some laptops you have to take the entire bottom plate off in order to remove the battery.
REF1EX lol local laptop
Built-in battery?
In my case HP laptop, the battery charges, it shows that it charges as well, plugged in charging but it always remains at 0% even if its plugged in for an entire day...what does that mean, battery replacement time ?
i repalced mine still the same thing plugged in charging and not increasing
I would try that yes.
@@taiyeoyeleye985 make sure you try a different power supply usually a light tip charger by the MFG.
YOU are a LIFE SAVER, No need for new charger or battery 🔋. THANK YOU SO MUCH 👏🏼
I cant remove my battery, Packard Bell is my laptot XD
Lol
I did everything on here and it still didnt work its still not charging someone help
Worst case scenario, buy a new battery.
what did u do then did it solved
try borrowing another charger, I have 2 chargers, 1 turns my laptop ON but it won't charge the battery, the second charger turns my laptop ON and it also charges my battery, I think the charger has a battery charge sensor that can go bad, good luck
Try another power supply by MFG.only @@carlosrivas3563
Excellent brother it works for me .... Thanks a lot for this wonderful video
This worked perfectly, thank you!
Thank you so much! You've saved me a lot of trouble.
Many thanks for straight forward instructions and an easy quick fix to my problem. The hardest part was prising out the battery!
I have an internal battery instead of a removable external battery.
+SaucySpaceFries Same here ;-;
My PC has completely gone broken. Yesterday it was completely fine.
Charger cable is sorta loose
Won't charge
House is not blacked out with no electricity
Tried every plug in the house
Tried cooling everything down for like a WHOLE day still won't work
It doesn't even say plugged in, not charging, it doesn't even say plugged in at all ;-;
Checked whole Wire of the charger for any cracks or weird noises when I stroke it.
I don't have a battery box in the middle of my charger because thats how it is.
PLEASE HELP I AM DOING EVERYTHING TO PRESERVE DIS BATTERY LIFE RIGHT NOW
+Jason Zheng I just bought a new battery, and replaced it myself. it cost like $60 USD
+SaucySpaceFries
wow very cheap
Try another power supply by MFG. @@jasonzheng2970
I can't take out my battery
looser
drifter ak loser*
I know this is an old video, but I have an old laptop by today’s standards. Anyway I have a company laptop which is full of security crap, so I decided to pull out my old faithful HP G61, blow off the dust and fire it up but low n behold as expected the battery was caput, so I bought a new one and installed but wouldn’t charge, so I followed this guide to the T and hey presto the new one is now charging up woop woop 🙌🏼
So big thanks to ya dude.
Side note, this also works the same for anyone running windows 10 like me.
This never works. And those devices won't show up in device manager if the battery isn't in your laptop, newb. The problem is on the motherboard. I've seen it on 6 different models of HP laptops. All manufactured within the last 5 years. Pull out the motherboard, your soldering tools, and a magnifying glass.
Try another power supply by manufacture first.
Worked "PERFECTLY" REALLY THANK YOU FOR SHARING
How?? Plz Whatapp Chat with me +923012463588 and tell me How Soul Probm
lmaooo
Thanks so much! 👍👍👍 You saved me the cost of a new battery. Another vid basically said that the only way out was to replace the old battery. Not all advice is good advice - I'm really happy you helped out!
If I could hug you, I would! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much it worked keep up the good work
Today I found this problem on my hp laptop windows 8. Your simple fix worked. Thanks
Thank-you!! Worked like a charm on my 2yr. old Dell laptop. Running Win10, automatically re-installed AC adapters without prompting...Cheers Mate!!
ASUS LAPTOP - non removable battery
-
Whenever i charge my laptop it says plugged in, not charging
but when i unplug the AC plug when the laptop is on , it will shutdown by itself
is there any way that i can fix this ?
Having the same problem, here right now too! wtf.
Except I'm using an Acer laptop and the battery is removable.
Same laptop and same problem
Same
new or different power supply
this worked perfectly, thank you
Your so great🥺🥺.... Saved my newly bought battery....
So, I did all of the steps, but the microsoft ACPI didnt "auto-install" it just showed back up in the device manager and it didn't resolve the issue. Is it the battery?
me too!
Happily chubby flygon same
Happily chubby flygon that is " aut-install" it doesn't need to run any installer
Same thing for me.
The inside of my laptop ( the. Chargy thingy ) is broken
SAME! For a while, I've had to press the socket hard against something and hold it in a certain position to get it to hold a charge. I got frustrated and finally opened it up to see what it was. Unplugged the cable, re-plugged it back in and it seemed to be getting the charge. Ever since, it hasn't been charging.
Charles Randolph I have the same problem :(
That's exactly what happens to me!!
same here just take it to a computer shop or buy a new one
Charles Randolph i did the saaaaaanmmmeeee
it works very well thanks Nick!!!! your explanation is so easy to understand with video!!
I can't turn the laptop on without the battery!! help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
might be faulty ac plug
+PrinceInShadow but mine work for my Fathers Lappy. and my Father's charger works at mine.
Try another power supply by MFG. only. You can get a charger right on facebook here.
My laptop is living of my charger. if i take out the charger my laptop dies in an instant! HALP!!!
Your battery is bad or its not connected good maybe.
***** Have you tried replacing your battery? They are under $30 on ebay or Amazon
***** Dude nice job ahaha)
***** This guy. Everyone listen to this guy. I took off my battery and sure enough both male and female ports on my laptop/battery were dusty as hell (kinda embarrassing but true). Turned on my laptop and everything was back to normal.
You just saved me a butt load of time. Thanks!
***** Nope didn't work for me
Could a two prong adapter short circuit and ruin the ac plug because I went through 3 of those and always use the adapter. I tested with my moms plug and it always works with my battery. She has a three prong wall outlet so she doesn't need an adapter.
Doesn't turn on without battery in laptop... And yes it is plugged in! Ugh this is a pain in the ass man
It's your ac adapter then
I'm working on the same problem. I finally purchased new batteries that are (in my case) direct from Lenovo. I had a battery that I suspected was black-market and after a few months it prevented the laptop from powering up when said black-market battery was in place so I removed it and was able to operate. Now (with the Lenovo battery) it works with batteries in place, but charging is intermittent. The solution so far is to power down, remove battery, re-install battery, power up and charging is OK again. Arrrrrrrrrrgh!
You don't need to do any of the above. Leave the battery in, go to the search box and type 'device manager,' delete the drivers under the 'Battery' listing, right click 'scan for new hardware'. Job done! Your pc will see the battery and install new drivers.
geoffphuket In case I was not clear: The black-market battery, when plugged in, prevented the Lenovo from powering on! Anyway, I solved my charging problem by using Lenovo's System restore, back to Win7. The charging problem came up after I installed a non-Lenovo Win8.
What if i am unable to take the battery out of the laptop? Literally there is no way to take it out.
Well then you're screwed! :D
yup lol
Haha! Sorry man, if it's any consolation, this video didn't fix my laptop either, think the battery is done for :P
i fixed mine, i just let it get close to dying then plugged it in to a different outlet. now it charges.
Mine works when the charger is plugged in and the battery is removed, but with the battery in, it says "0% available, plugged in, not charging"
Tried it and it worked!!!
if it works for you its a software problem...if not its a hardware problem probably a short in the cable or a fault in the transformer in the adapter
"Easy fix"
Take ur laptop to the top floor & throw it. This problem will go with peace 😇 agar dell ka hoga to aajao mass suicide of laptops world record banate hai
It worked, thanks. Just curious what caused that to happened in the first place?
Tried it! and it works for my laptop. Thank you for this video ❤️
Tq ,Nick Just used your technique for my 6 year old dell 5520 win 7 Home and was successful ,Keep Doing Good GOD Bless you.
10 years on and new laptops lol. Process is good for learning, even today, and issue was gradually lowering % of charger working over couple of years that has come down to 3%+ up to 12% max and I will try a new battery as a test tomorrow. Hope all enjoy good learning 😃
Great video. Tried everything. Realized I am missing the Microsoft Composite Battery - driver. I can't find it anywhere online, to install. Is not reinstalled after following the instructions in this video. Still missing.
Great video. What do I do if the battery is not externally removable.
Worked like a charm! Great video and easy to follow steps. Thank you!
first laptop is not working condition but i follow your steps then really working my laptop thanks thanks a lot
If you're here looking in the comment section that this works or not, then yes go for it this works for real. At first I was too lazy to power on and off it over and over again but when I tried it helped to fixed this problem i was facing for past week.
amogus
Thank you! This is working for me. I have a quick question. After you turn the laptop back on, you mention to do the battery drain 3x. If the laptop is down to 50% power after doing all your steps, should I charge it to 100% before doing the battery drain OR just let it drain from the 50% mark?
My laptop is charging again! Thank you Nick!
Please explain me the step 12
