    Sounds like the battery, wiring or some other type of hardware failure.

    Other things to be checked:

    *Check the Power Supply.

    *If your laptop uses a detachable charging cable, make sure it's in good condition. Try using a different cable to see if that resolves the issue.

    *Examine the charging port on your laptop. Use compressed air to clean it gently if needed.

    *Outdated or corrupted battery and power-related drivers can sometimes cause charging issues. Update your laptop's drivers through the manufacturer's website.

    *Check your laptop's battery status indicator lights. They can provide information on the battery's current state. If your laptop's battery is old, it may need to be replaced.

    *Occasionally, software can interfere with charging. Try booting your laptop in Clean Boot State or, Safe Mode to see if it charges. If it does, this might indicate a software issue.
