If your laptop shows "Plugged in, not charging," consider the following steps: (1) Check the charger and cable: Inspect for any visible damage, fraying, or wear. (2) Update drivers: Ensure all relevant software and drivers are up to date. (3) Adjust power settings: Sometimes, specific power management settings can cause the issue. (4) Clean the charging port: Dust or debris in the port can prevent proper connection. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may indicate a hardware failure with the battery itself.
