If your computer's battery is not charging and it only shows that it is plugged in, there are a few potential issues to consider:

  1. Battery Charging Management: The battery charging is managed autonomously by the hardware. If the system is connected to a charger, it should charge unless there is a battery failure or a thermal condition affecting charging.
  2. Fault Conditions: Charging will stop automatically when the battery is fully charged or if there is a fault condition. If the battery is not charging, it could be due to a fault in the battery itself or in the charging system.
  3. Power Source: Ensure that the charger is functioning properly and that the connection is secure. Sometimes, using a different power outlet or a different charger can help determine if the issue lies with the charger.
  4. Thermal Conditions: If the system is experiencing thermal issues, charging may be limited or halted to protect the hardware.
  5. Battery Health: If the battery is old or has gone through many charge cycles, it may not hold a charge effectively anymore and may need to be replaced.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult with a technician or consider replacing the battery if it is faulty.

    Hi Marion, I get how concerning that can be when your computer shows it’s plugged in but not charging. This usually happens if the battery isn’t detected properly, the charger isn’t delivering power, or the battery itself is failing. Let’s start with a few quick checks: unplug the charger, hold the power button for 15 seconds, then plug it back in and see if it charges. Also, confirm the charger is the original one and the light on the adapter is on. If you can, check if the battery status in your system settings says “charging” or “plugged in, not charging.” Has the battery been replaced before, or is it the original one?
