Laptop Battery not charging past x %
Hey guys,
I have an Acer Aspire 5741-6073, and it would not charge past 40%, even with the power cord plugged in for several hours. I reported the issue to acer, they asked me to drain the battery then press and hold the power button for 30 seconds to discharge any remaining charge. Then while the laptop is off leave it plugged in and charging for a couple of hours.
I did this, but t did not work, so I sent the laptop back to Acer. They claimed they fixed the issue, but my laptop only charges to 50-59% now. I am positive the meter is not reading properly, because it lasts 2-3 hours when starting on 40-50%. Is there a way to fix this issue? or to recalibrate the battery?
Thanks,
