The battery charging failure above indicates that either the AC adapter or the laptop itself has a problem. In order to

isolate the faulty one, first you need to test the AC adapter with a voltmeter. If the AC adapter has a normal output

voltage, then probably the power jack of the motherboard is defective. In this case, you need to replace or just resolder the

power jack of the laptop motherboard.

* Trouble: After the laptop battery arrives at vital period, it discharges very quickly

The battery charging failure above indicates bad battery. Due to old age, laptop battery sometimes act abnormally, like for

example, the symptoms above. Laptop battery manufacturers believe that a typical life span should be somewhere between 2 to 3
