Why is my laptop just plugged in and not charging?

Why does my laptop say plugged in, not charging?

Most likely you are using an adapter that did not come with that laptop and it is of a lower amperage than what is needed to be able to charge the battery and run the computer. If you turn it off and leave it plugged in overnight and when you come back it is fully charged this is most certainly the case.

In some cases, even if the aftermarket adapter does provide enough amperage, it still might not work because the laptop has a proprietary charger. The motherboard actually sends communication signals across the power cable to the adapter and if it does not get a response from a small chip on the adapter, it will not charge.

If its removable, take it out and press (and hold down) the power button for around 15 seconds. And thenplugin yourlaptopspower cable and turn the device on.

IMO this should be illegal but it is allowed. Proprietary chargers can get up sometimes and even if it is the right charger, the chip gets fried and even though it works just fine with any other device with the same voltage/amperage requirements, it becomes worthless for the laptop it was designed for.
