    Alienware 13 R2 - plugged in,wont charge >13%

    Hi All,

    I have an Alienware 13 R2 that I removed a shorted capacitor from that also had a bad battery.

    I replaced the battery and the machine works well apart from it not charging the battery.

    The icon shows the battery as charging when the adapter (original, Tested and working ok 130W) but it wont increase from 13%.

    Ive checked the Bios which show battery health as OK
    I've checked Alienware diagnostics which shows the new battery as having 97% health and working OK.

    Updated the bios (currently running 1.13.1).

    Tried settings in control panel.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled ACPI charger driver.

    Don't know what to do next.

    Any help?

          Vostro 3400 (LA-K033P) won't charge battery, everything else ok
          by techfreak9356
          I bought a Vostro 3400 motherboard (LA-K033P) to upgrade over my damaged Inspiron 5593 (LA-J091P) board. Everything else is ok except for the battery. This battery I am using now is already a replacement one since I disposed of the bloated original one. Back in the Inspiron 5593 motherboard, the battery charges fine and is identified just fine. However, with the upgraded motherboard, suddenly the replacement battery is labeled as "Not a dell battery". When I borrow a similar battery from my colleague (which did not have replacements yet), it is identified and charges just fine.

          How can I charge that battery pack?
          by razenxd
          Hello,
          it's not a laptop/desktop related question but I figured that someone here will have the right knowledge.
          At work we use a few Aldebaran(now Softbank/United Robotics group) Nao Robots which they use some custom 6S li-on battery packs.
          Nao robots tends to draw from the battery even if they are shut down, and the BMS tends to be a little aggresive, if the pack stays on a turned off robot for 3 months it's gonna lock and will refuse to charge.

          Now, I have noticed a few things.
          The "dead" battery, while connected to charger and NOT Charging will...

          Razor Blade Steath 13" RZ09-01963 plugged in Not Charging (new battery)
          by Shinju
          Hey All!

          Long time forum member here with a problematic laptop issue!

          I got a RZ09-0196 with a bloated battery (still worked and charged fine) I pulled the old cell pack out and installed a new cell pack in its place.

          The laptop would not power on with the new battery installed without the power supply being plugged in.

          When booting into Win10 (all up to date BTW) I saw the battery icon with 49% plugged in not charging.

          TL;Dr version, old battery worked, charged but was bloated, installed a new non OEM replacement, laptop/windows...

          Acer a515-43 low battery charge voltage
          by ruletero
          Hi

          Acer A515-43
          LA-H801P

          Fail: Does not charge battery, has low voltaje on connector.

          Laptop didn't want to turn on, only charge led blinked.

          I found PQB5 (mosfet high battery charger) in short, voltaje in +12.6V_BATT was 19 v ...

          I changed it, changed PQB6 too and now battery charger voltage is 4.4V but battery is 3 cell, 11.25v, then is very low to charging.

          Laptop turns on without battery and works fine, but with battery turns on and turns off inmediately, I suspect battery bad but I don't know...

          MacBook Pro A1706 charge stuck at 5v when battery is plugged in
          by pluggedDan
          Hi all,

          I have an A1706 that was liquid damaged, the logic board turns on and works when the battery connector is not plugged in, but when the battery is plugged in, the computer is stuck on 5v @ 30-40 Mah, and USB-C meter will reboot every 5 sec or so, pressing and holding down the power button will make the USB-C meter to stop boot looping, and if you keep holding it, fan will quickly spin up and turn off.

          when the battery is unplugged and plug in the charger then plug in the battery it will stay on 20V and 1.6A-2.6A but when you unplug the charger, the computer...
