Restart your computer and replug the charger.

Welcome to the forums. Sounds like a battery problem. How old is your lappy? Do you have access to a spare battery or a mate with the same model?

Thanks Dinesh but I tried that.
Wily Wombat I got my laptop around January this year and yes I can get a spare battery of my mate.

I helped someone with this issue a few days ago, you can see that post here "Plugged In, Not Charging". Give that a go.

I believe there was a update to solve some of these issues, but at the same time, it could also be a failing power port on the laptop.

Nah Clinkz it didn't work

 

[Clinkz]

Did you have a look at the links i posted in that thread as well?

If the laptop is under warranty, even if its not, you should contact the manufacture.
This could easily be a hardware issue as it would be what controls the state of the battery.
And the fact you cannot turn the laptop on without being plugged in screams hardware issue.

Does the laptop start WITHOUT the battry attached? if not its you Power supply that could be at fault if it does the its a battry problem.

Ok Guys
Earlier this week I tried my friends battery and it worked so i went and bought another battery. But now it is saying:
"Consider replacing your battery. There is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly." It is starting to randomly shutdown aswell
plz help

Using cotton swabs to wipe the contact part,
sometimes if your finger touch the contact,
the contact between the laptop and battery will block

Second,are there any battery control programs you have install?
Some of the program limit the battery charging level,to prevent the wear out of battery sooner.
Make sure you don't have such program limit,usually the program is attached originally.

Have you given it sufficient time to fully charge? It may be because it is a new battery that you need to let it charge for 24 hrs to get it full?

You need to fully charge your battery and discharge it. I would suggest loading into the bios, and checking to see if it has a battery conditioner.

If it doesn't, I would fully charge the battery, and then unplug it, allow it to sit until it completely dies (make sure it doesn't go into sleep mode), and then recharge it. Doing that a time or two would rather barbarically do the same thing a battery conditioner would.
