Hi guys a friend has asked me too update a old laptop so there child can do school homework i know its old but i have installed windows 7 pro 32 bit as there used to using that, everything seems too work ok except a battery charging issue i have read online and this is caused by a old bios version v2.10 at the minute so i need a link if possible to a newer version.
The issue at the minute is it will charge and run the laptop fine until the battery goes flat, it can only be charged up if laptop is plugged in but not switched on, with the charger on and battery installed it will run the battery flat and no charging icon the laptop then turns off once battery goes flat even if plugged in. I have read on various forums and all suggest its a bios issue once updated the battery will charge when adapter and battery are both installed.
