Forgot to mention that after I uninstall and reinstall the Microsoft ACPI - Compliant the battery icon starts showng the charging graphic (battery filing up) which only lasts very shortly so I cannot check if it actually charges for that period of time.
Hello to everyone,
So I have an Asus Vivibook pro N552VW laptop, and as my one year guarantee for the battery expired, my laptop stoped charging. I read all the other discussions on the Forum related to such problems, although in most cases the indication seems to be plugged in - NOT charging.
In my case my laptop run out of battery overnight, took a bit of an extra time to start again once i plugged it in and ever since is stuck at 0% charge. I tried all the recomended solutions, such as disabling the drivers and holding down the power button for 60s but none of it seems to work.
My laptop had been overheating excessively lately, and I was about to have it cleaned up, but everysince my battery stopped charging the heating up stopped also.
What I would like to determine, hopefully with some help from the forum, is whether the problem lies on the battery, in which case I will have it replaced, or maybe lies on the cord which looks quite worn off. Is there anyway to determine that whithout ordering a new cable?
I also installed BatteryBar to have a better look on the battery and it show 40% battery wear (is that too much for a 1 year battery on a highly used laptop?) but also shows that it is charging (?) though the charging rate remains at 0%.
The battery is buit in so any suggestion that includes removing the battery unfortunately won't work.
Any ideas?
