Hi,
I'm working on an Acer Aspire One D255-2256.
I just replaced the battery for it (the old one no longer holds a charge)
When I have both the battery and the AC adapter plugged in, the computer just runs straight off of battery power with no signs of recognizing the AC adapter.
(The light indicating the computer is charging is not illuminated and Windows says its running off of battery power)
The computer runs fine off of the AC adapter without the battery plugged in.
When I plug in the old battery the computer's charging light is illuminated and the computer can power up (running off of the AC adapter with the dead battery).
The computer will charge the new battery if I plug the AC adapter in first, and then plug the new battery in. However I ran this overnight and I don't think it ever stopped charging the battery despite it being full. (Unplugged the AC adapter, started up Windows and detected the battery level)
I currently have Windows 7 on the machine.
I think the problem is similar to this post, but the hardware is different and I don't know where to start. http/www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-1961708/laptop-power-adapter-charge-battery.html
Thanks in advance
