I solved the AC adapter issue
I had this problem almost a year ago. I bought a new adapter for about 30 bucks. It solved the issue. The second one started doing the same thing almost a year later. What I found was that where the end of the adapter that plugs into the laptop was the problem. The single wire inside the connector is not making contact. All you have to do, WHILE EVERYTHING IS UNPLUGGED!!!!!!! is to take a pen or mini screw driver and barely offset that pin. I mean just the littlest bit. This gets it to make contact with the laptop on the inside. I now have 2 good adapters that were constantly not charging the battery. It is all good now.

Dear Mr. Causewayman,
Welcome to the Community & thanks for sharing your experience with us.
It seems the pin on the connector end was bent & by offsetting the pin the issue seems to be resolved. However, this might be a temporary fix, as the voltage flow from the ac adapter to the the laptop connector can overshoot causing a shot on the motherboard. Therefore, it is not advisable to use the same ac adaptor & our suggestion would be to replace it asap.
Incase if you need any further clarification please feel free to reply.
