That\u2019s why \nour team at Battery Depot wrote this official troubleshooting guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nTroubleshooting Your <strong>Laptop Battery<\/strong>: Tips &amp; Tricks<br>\n  Here are a few methods that you can use to get to the root of your \nlaptop battery issues. But, remember, if none of them get your laptop \nbattery charging again, then the battery itself is probably broken and \nyou\u2019ll need to find a laptop battery replacement.<br>\n  1. Unplug the charger; try a different outlet. Sometimes, simply giving it a break for a minute can help.<br>\n  2. Restart the computer, briefly removing the battery. Similarly, a good ol\u2019 reboot never hurt anyone.<br>\n  3. If the laptop is hot, let it cool down first. If the computer is overheated, it can\u2019t charge properly.<br>\n  4. Inspect the cord for any abrasions or frays. Breaks and tears in the cord will prevent it from charging.<br>\n  5. Examine the connection for wobbliness. If the connection to the computer isn\u2019t secure, it won\u2019t work.<br>\n  6. Replace the entire charging apparatus. Try buying a completely new charger, as that could be the issue.<br>\n  7. Update your laptop\u2019s battery driver software. For PCs, go to Start \n-&gt; Control Panel    -&gt; System and Security -&gt; Device Manager \n-&gt; Batteries. Then, download the new driver software and restart your\n computer. For Apple laptops, open System Preferences and reset the \nSystem Management Controller.<br>\n  8. Start your laptop without the battery (simply run it on the power \ncord). By this point, if nothing is effective so far, it looks like your\n battery truly is the problem. Yet, there\u2019s a final step that you should\n take to double-check that it\u2019s not the charger. If everything works \nfine, then you know that the power cord functions like it should, and \nyou can suspect that the issue lies in the battery. Look for a \nreplacement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/battery-pc-laptop_Lab.htm\">Buy Laptop Battery Online at Best Prices.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many, their laptop is one of the most important tools that they own.
