Hello
My laptop is not charging while on. I ran diagnostics on battery and ac adapter and it said battery needed replacement. I did so, and I had the same problem. So I checked the ac adapter again and it failed the test. I bought a new adapter, and same thing is happening. The battery drains quickly. I did not calibrate it because the directions say to charge it 100% then turn it off.....it only charges if I turn it off, and it takes a long time. Any suggestions? Thank you

I understand that the laptop battery is not charging.
As you stated that you have replaced the battery. Please provide the part number.
Please try the below:
Steps to uninstall the ACPI drivers
Right-Click on start button> click device manager> Batteries>then select the s drivers and right-click on it and uninstall all battery drivers.
Then restart the computer and check again.
Also, update the BIOS.
Keep us posted,

Hello,
I uninstalled the drivers and updated BIOS, but there was a lot of time in between. Neither of them worked. After I replaced the battery and before I replaced the adapter, I got a fan malfunction on the screen . It has only shown up a few times, mostly after I opened up the back of the computer. The battery is still not charging while on. If I unplug it and plug it back in, it shows charging for a few seconds. Thank you
