Notebook computer battery says: plugged in but not charging with no further information. Is the bat
- by Jian Lin
My 1.5 year old Dell Studio 15 notebook computer has a battery and I keep it attached to the notebook but 98% of the time I just plug in the power adapter.
Lately when I unplugged the power adapter, the battery was only good for 10 minutes, and a few days ago, when I unplugged the power adapter, the computer simply turned off.
When clicking on the battery icon on Win 7, it says "Plugged in, not charging":
is the battery dead? Or can Win 7 have any option to not charge the battery?
It is a Dell Studio 15, I wonder if in such case, it looks like it can be a manufacture's defect, would Dell replace the battery? (if there was a recall, then they probably would, i think). The notebook is 1.5 year old.
