No battery is detected!

[easyginger]

Running Windows 7 pro, 64-bit and for some reason my laptop won't detect the battery. The laptop is just over a year old so hasn't been used that often, but it would be interesting to know why it won't detect the battery all of a sudden?

Could be the battery has failed, seldom is one given more than a year warranty. A couple other variables would be whether the AC adapter is the proper one or that the charging circuit or socket on the motherboard has a problem.

Battery not detected.

Tbh it hasn't been used that often, and everything was brand new when I bought it. All connections seem to be intact and charger is correct for laptop.
