Solved! Go to Solution.
You do not open the AC adapter - they're not repairable. Replace it with a new one. A damaged adapter - which otherwise costs about $30-40 to replace - can easily destroy a $150 battery or a $300 mainboard.
Ohh i forgot to say tWhen it detects the battery its says Plugged in and not charging plz give me the answer in the nearst time!
Does the BIOS report the AC adapter, or is it listed as unknown?
None of that
I fleped the PC and i found out that the battery wasnt combletly inserted so i gave it a lettle push down the battery now is always detected but still the PLUGGED IN AND NOT CHARGING PROBLEM HELP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
watch this
If the system correctly recognizes the AC adapter but the battery won't charge, chances are high the battery is the problem.
Thanx for Posting i will purchace a new one and ill keep you in knowledge,but ive saw videos in youtupe pepole have the exact problem they fix it by twisting the ac adapter or take it off and butting it back i remember the first time it was working it was fine until i was playing then Battery low alert has pop out then i shutt down and move to the other room thats the last time it was working fine
