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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Thermal Conditions: If the system is experiencing thermal issues, charging may be limited or halted to protect the hardware.
- 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.
