How can I fix my laptop’s battery not charging?
Battery charging issues can be due to faulty chargers, aging batteries, or driver conflicts.
A laptop battery that won’t charge is a common problem that can arise from various causes. First, inspect the charging cable and power adapter for any visible damage; frayed cables or a bent adapter can interrupt the charge. Testing the charger on another compatible laptop can help determine if the charger itself is the issue. If it’s not the charger, try plugging it into a different power outlet. Next, check your laptop's battery health in the settings; over time, batteries degrade and may no longer hold a charge. Some laptops allow you to recalibrate the battery, which can sometimes resolve charging issues. Going to Device Manager and reinstalling or updating the battery drivers may also help, as these drivers ensure your laptop can detect the battery properly. If all else fails, it may be time to replace the battery if it’s an older laptop.
