Battery Not Charging?
I'll Diagnose the Power Issue.

Laptop Battery Not Charging FAQ

Why won't my laptop charge?

Common causes: bad power adapter, worn-out battery, loose charging port, or a BIOS setting limiting the charge. I test each possibility.

Can you replace a laptop battery?

For many laptops, yes. I'll check if your battery is user-replaceable and order the right one (parts at cost). Some modern laptops have internal batteries that are harder to replace.

My laptop only works plugged in — is the battery dead?

Probably. I run a battery health check to confirm. If it holds less than 20% of its original capacity, replacement is recommended.

How much does battery diagnosis cost?

$10 up-front diagnostic (waived if you proceed), $50/hr (1-hour minimum). If a battery replacement is needed, parts are at cost.
