Okay, so normally I'm pretty damn good with tech problems. However, I do a lot more work with software, drivers, system registry, etc. I am having what "seems" to be a hardware problem...
My laptop is plugged in, but says it isn't charging. It has been doing this for a couple days now. Last time, it just fixed itself. This time though, it isn't going away.
I've looked this up online already and have found tons of "solutions" that don't work. Everything from a particular series of turning it off and taking out the battery, rinse and repeat, to going into the device manager and uninstalling my battery drivers to load them back up anew.
Anyone else had this problem or have a solution?
"Toast was a pointless invention from the Dark Ages. Toast was an implement of torture that caused all those subjected to it to regurgitate in verbal form the sins and crimes of their past lives. Toast was a ritual item devoured by fetishists in the belief that it would enhance their kinetic and sexual powers. Toast cannot be explained by any rational means.
Toast is me. I am Toast."
It could also be, entirely, a short in your wire. Happens all the time with laptops. The wires get bent and twisted, and they just short out. Could be software, could be hardware. Just troubleshoot the software with your drivers update. If it isn't fixed then, explore hardware options.
"You must begin by gaining power over yourself; then another; then a group, an order, a world, a species, a group of species; finally, the galaxy itself."
Its your house, there's not enough power to charge your laptop.
Mede, I love you
But yeah; I hear what you're sayin phoenix. I was just hoping you guys might have any other things I could try or rule out besides drivers before I am forced to look at it on a hardware level.

You're probably gonna have to buy a new cord... or trash the laptop and get a new one.
The cord is fine. It is even denoting that it is plugged in, and the cord works with a family member's laptop. It's either an internal problem or a problem with the battery/where the battery docks.

Check and make certain Nothing is Corroded, if you have to take it to a PC Repair place and see what they Say. Mine just died one day and I had to take it to a place they had it fixed in a day.
