so i just bought a levnovo laptop will not charge. It says that the charger is plugged in but not charging. I don't want to think that the computer is falty, so could it be the actual charger for the computer has shorted?
That is normal. To see it charge, just disconnect the power supply for a while and then reconnect after using a bit. Drop the battery to at least 50% and watch the recharging magic.
Is the battery actually fully charged (or nearly so)? My Lenovo will often not charge when the battery is full. It is a means to minimize charge cycles on a full/nearly full battery.
it literally only used it for about 10 mins since I bought it tryna get stuff off my other computer the battery has been going down but just says its not charging its at 95 percent now
