Laptop battery can't be re-charged
Hi everybody; I have an old laptop with windows 7 (32 bit); I have the mentioned problem: its removable battery can't recharge.
Whenever I detach the power plug from the laptop and then I re-attach it, the battery starts the recharge (the animation of the battery icon on the desktop bar starts to move; also the icon upon the laptop's keyboards gets illuminated steadly) but after few seconds it stops (the animation of the icon on the desktop bar stops and the icon on the pc flashes - it means that is under usage and not recharging). Note: as soon as the recharge is stopped, the message on the icon on the destop bar says "AC plug connected and battery in charge" although the battery is not charging at all (and the % of charging doesn't increase, of course).
Please note:
- same problem with the original battery and with a new one I just bought
- I tried to update the drivers related to the battery components (from the control panel>system>battery) but everything is up to date
- I already tried to shut down windows, disconnected everything (cables, battery), reconnected and restarted windows... nothing changes.
any suggestions?
Thanks for you kind support... regards
ricky
