My battery recently stopped charging after I replaced the network card in my PC. I don't know if the two things are related but it does seem highly coincidental that after I swapped the card and did a driver update, the battery stopped charging. The AC cable works fine but the computer says "Connected, charging" and the battery doesn't charge. It's now at 0% with my computer running solely off my charger.
I tried updating windows and uninstalling drivers and taking out the battery and draining power from the system before a reboot and all of those things didn't work. My battery diagnostic said my battery storage capacity was fine and that it's discharging correctly. I'm just worried that perhaps I messed up internal circuitry in my laptop while replacing some components despite my carefulness, especially since I didn't take my battery out during the component swap.
Do you guys think that the battery might be bad and how would I go about checking if the problem is with the internal circuitry instead? Thanks for your help!
