My Windows 7 laptop refuses to charge
Hello! I am new here and do not know where I should put this thread exactly, so please forgive me for placing it in a wrong spot. Please also forgive any grammatical mistakes as I'm typing this on my phone.
I have a problem where my laptop won't charge. It was working fine until I tripped on the cord and the two pieces of battery that you can take apart separated. No biggie I thought and just plugged it back in. I was dead wrong. It wouldn't charge after that. I don't think the prongs aware damaged as I didn't pull it hard. It just kind of fell apart like I said. There is no green light turning on in the battery.
The computer I have tried restarting and even restoring, but I can't restore until my computer does a search of the files and does a whole repair which will take way too much time, as my battery is down at 38%, 43 minutes. Something else I noticed is that my display turned strange after I unplugged it. The bar that usually sticks to the bottom now goes down, and the background is a bright white instead of the usual black background. This makes the layout look strange. This might sound weird but I am suspecting that the way the layout is might be causing my laptop not to charge. Is there a way I can get it back from this white layout to the original black background layout and task bar that will actually stay put instead of sinking down and disappearing every time I move my mouse from it? I don't know how to change it back or what it's even called.
Any help would be appreciated. My laptop is a Windows 7 ASUS. I think it is the Home Vista version. Thank you for reading.
