Dear Friends,

 

I have a HP Pavilion G6 laptop running Linux mint .This laptop has been running fine for the last 2 years.
Recently, I observed that the laptop is not charging using the laptop power adapter.

I therefore removed the laptop battery MU06   and found that the laptop powers on fine without it. Therefore , I feel the problem is related to the laptop battery MU06.

 

I have removed and reinserted the MU06 battery but the problem remains the same.

 

Questions:

 

1. How do I resolve this?

 

2. Do I need any specific software for the battery to function fine?


3. Should I buy a MU06 third party vendor battery from Amazon.com?

 

Please advise.
