Toshiba Satellite not charging after Factory Reset and Windows upgrade
Hi, today I got a laptop, Toshiba Satellite A215-S7416 to be specific. It's an older laptop but I needed something to use currently because I'm having major problems with my main computer. It came with Windows Vista Basic. I decided I'd upgrade the OS so I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit and formatted the hard drive before doing so, because the previous owner had a lot of left over junk that made the computer slow. It's running perfect currently, but it's not charging my battery. While the computer is off the battery light will light up orange, signaling it's charging. But when I start up the computer the light goes off and the charging icon at the bottom right has a red x and tells me to consider replacing my battery, and that it's at 0% and isn't charging. I'm going to attach a screen shot showing the icon. For reference I've downloaded all the updates for my windows, include the SP for Windows 7. I've also tried to uninstall the battery's driver and restart the computer, and it's did nothing.
Also here are some specs for this laptop:
2gbs of ram
1.7ghz dual core cpu (amd)
~110gb hdd
