Try this:

Press and hold power button for 30 seconds

 

Connect AC only (no battery)

 

Startup

 

Open Device Manager

Click the plus (+) sign next to Batteries category, right-click all of the "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" listings, and select Uninstall In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK. (it’s ok if you only have 1 of these).

Right-click the “ACPI Fixed Features Button" and select Uninstall. In the "Confirm Device Uninstall" dialog box, click OK.

Re: Plugged in charger, battery not charging

Thanks friend. After doing this the Laptop works fine for 2 days.

Then again the problem resurfaces. BIOS updated and all the firmware updated. No use. Laptop  is just 3 months old. I have told this guy to buy any other brand than Dell and Hp. But he was mesmarised by Tata Chroma, to buy this useless g6 model.

Ok. Now Any solution. or shall we do this removals and insertions every 3rd day...
