    Solved! ASUS laptop only recognises power cable when battery fully depleted

    Hi all, I decided to bite the bullet and just buy a new charger as I'd not got any more suggestions on here. It turns out it worked and my laptop is working fine again! Very odd behaviour and I'm still confused why it charged in some situations and not others, but I'm glad that it's finally...

    Solved! ASUS laptop only recognises power cable when battery fully depleted

    Solved! ASUS TP300L not charging, no charging light, runs fine on battery

    Hi Webworkings. Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate your trying to help. Sorry for not replying sooner. I tried rolling back the update - not expecting it to work, but it fixed the problem! I don't know exactly why (and had suspected it may be a hardware) but just glad that it's...

    Solved! ASUS TP300L not charging, no charging light, runs fine on battery

    My ASUS TP300L has stopped charging and the charging indicator light does not light up. The laptop works fine but is clearly running off the battery, even when plugged in (and the battery is almost dead now!) I have checked the power chord voltage and it seems to be working fine. The situation...
