What should I do if my laptop battery is not charging?

If your laptop battery is not charging, there are several steps you can take to identify and potentially resolve the issue. First, check the power source to ensure that it is functioning properly. Make sure that the power outlet you are using is working by plugging in another device or trying a different outlet. Next, inspect the charging cable and the power adapter for any visible damage, such as frayed wires or loose connections. A damaged cable may prevent the laptop from receiving power, so replacing it could be necessary. After confirming that the power source and cable are in good condition, examine the battery itself. If your laptop has a removable battery, take it out and look for any signs of damage or swelling. If the battery appears to be defective, it may need to be replaced. If the laptop has a non-removable battery, you might consider performing a power reset. This generally involves turning off the laptop, unplugging it, and holding down the power button for several seconds before reconnecting the charger. If these steps do not resolve the problem, it is a good idea to check the laptop’s settings, as there may be software issues affecting charging. Some laptops have battery management utilities that manage power use and charging, which may require updates or adjustments.
