My laptop is a year old. Four or five months after purchase, I removed the battery from the laptop and kept safe in cupboard since I was using my laptop in home only. Now, after 7 or 8 months, I put the battery in its compartment but it says "plugged in, not charging. I already tried the "removing microsoft ACPI" thing, draining residual power after switching of by pressing power button for about 30 secs, nothiing worked.
I don't thing the battery is dead, since I used it only for 4-5 months. Any ideas on resolving this issue?
UPDATE:
The battery was idle for more than 6 months and shows 0% charge available thus battery power can't turn on the laptop. I can turn on laptop without battery though; so, I guess there is not problem in chord and adapter. Would reinstalling windows help resolviing this issue? Or do you think the battery might be dead (After all, I haven't even used it for more than 4/5 months)?
