Hi everyone. My laptop charger is not charging my laptop for some unknown reason. When I plug in the charger, there is blue light on the adaptor. However, the orange light on my laptop is blinking, and it does not seem to be charging. Any reason for this? And how can I resolve it?

Good Morning,
Would like to check the following

1. What model is it
2. Is it a built in battery or user removable battery

if yes to removable battery for Q2, remove it and see if laptop works and the amber light stops blinking - if yes, it could mean that the battery is faulty.

What you can do is
a. let the battery discharge by using it, then try charging it again.

b. right click uninstall battery in device manager as shown

then scan for hardware changes to see if this fixes your problem

c. Get it checked out at the service ctr / a trusted computer outlet like PCDreams

Hi currently I cannot even start up my laptop. I will try removing the battery to see if it works. What do you mean by discharging the battery?

Hmm, just to check, it's the charging indicator led that is blinking right?

Letting the battery run down from 100% to 0% / 25%

Remove battery and press power button for 15sec then put back battery with power adaptor and see if can turn it on.
