    Computer is plugged in but not charging, & I know the charger is working


    My Windows computer is not charging, & it's plugged in. I know it isn't a problem with the charger, since the charger worked fine with a different computer, & the charger used to work with the Windows computer that now won't charge from it. I've tried plugging it in at different outlets, & it doesn't work. Can someone help?

    :)

    My Computer is Plugged in but not Charging

    My laptop computer is plugged in but not charging. The power supply will maintain the charge level (%), but not add to it. Removing and reinserting the battery allows the power supply to add to the % charge to 100%.

    Steps performed:

    • Turning the computer off and restarting it returns the computer to the Plugged in, Not Charging state.
    • Removing the battery again allows one complete charge, after which the laptop would no longer charge again.
    • I have used more than one power supply with the same condition.

    To resolve the issue, I remove the battery, obtain a complete charge, and maintain this charge by always keeping the power supply plugged in.

    What is the root of the problem?

    Plugged in, not charging


    There are 3 points of failure for a laptop that does not charge (And has been determined to be a hardware problem and NOT a software/OS problem). OS problems can be tested as mentioned above.

    • Dying battery (end of recharge cycle limit) as DustSailor and bro67 have mentioned.
    • Defective/dead charger/power supply
    • Broken DC In port (very common)

    Sometimes in the case of a broken DC In port you can wiggle the power jack in the port and see it starts to charge and then goes back to "Plugged In Not Charging" when you let go. But not always.

    Sometimes with the Charger/Power Supply it is only the jack that is defective.

    First order of business is to borrow a Charger/Power Supply (be sure it has the same voltage IN as yours) and test it to see if it will charge the battery.

    The rest is replacing parts until you get to the offending one.
    The Charger/Power Supply is cheapest to replace first.
    Then the Battery
    Then to the shop to see if the DC In port can/should be replaced.
