Satellite C650 - Battery is not charging

Laptop is 18 months old, with Windows 7. Has had normal home usage. In the last few days, when battery has run low and I've plugged in the AC charger, the green LED battery charging light comes on as green (battery fully charged). And the message I get when I hover over the battery icon is, say, battery 14% available, plugged in, not charging.

I googled the problem and found uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery, and removing the battery, does work but only for that battery charge. It reverts back to the green LED light, as soon as I plug in the AC charger, even if battery is only on 10%.

Hope someone can help me with this. I'm not a techie so please bear that in mind when replying.

Thank you.
MisterX

Hi

Maybe it’s time to change the battery.
After 400-500 charging cycles the battery starts loosing own performance and early or later the replacement is inescapable.

I think you should try a new battery… but it would be recommended to test new battery before purchasing… so maybe you can visit an dealer downtown and test a new battery
