Whenever my laptop is off it charges decently. Sometimes there is trouble but usually when it is off it charges alright. When it's on though it doesn't charge unless I get it into a random position that seems to work. The problems started after the last battery I had started swelling for some reason. We got a new battery to replace the old one but ever since then it has had the charging issue. I have tried stuff like a static discharge because I don't know what could and couldn't cause this stuff and just did whatever I knew I could do, but nothing has worked.
