Is your laptop plugged in but not charging? 😨 You’re not alone! This is a common problem faced by many users—whether you’re working, gaming, or studying, a dead battery can completely stop your productivity. But don’t panic! This guide will help you understand the possible reasons and how to fix them step-by-step.
🔎 Common Reasons Your Laptop Isn’t Charging
⚡ 1. Faulty Charger or Adapter

A loose, broken, or dirty charging port can interrupt power flow.
💻 3. Battery Health Issues
Your battery might be dead or degraded and no longer holds charge.

⚙️ 5. Driver or BIOS Issue
Outdated or corrupted battery drivers or BIOS settings may block charging.

✅ 2. Test with a Different Charger

Device Manager → Batteries → Microsoft AC Adapter → Update Driver
