    General Question about laptop battery charging AND 0% battery


    I am becoming more and more concerned about my laptop's battery each and every passing day. When I check the bottom right of my computer screen to check if my computer battery is completely charged, it says "0% available (plugged in, not charging)". I have had to buy two new batteries because of the same thing and they also read "0% available (plugged in, not charging)". When I unplug my laptop from the power source, it turns off automatically. I cannot even bother calling Dell to check this issue for me because I bought this computer off the street for $35.

    My question in general is how do I get this problem fixed and how do I keep an eye on how my laptop computer charges correctly (or not)???

    The common method is:
    - Create a System restore point
    - Uninstall (Under the Batteries category in Device Manager) the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
    - WARNING: Do not remove the Microsoft AC Adapter driver or any other ACPI compliant driver.
    - click Scan for hardware changes
