Laptop does not Charge

Recently my laptop stopped charging. I have installed a new battery, checked the AC charger ...
With no success. At the same time, I remember a Win 10 Pro update.

Has anyone had the same experience after a Windows update. A solution would be appreciated ...

Thank You

Rob

Where did you source the new battery from? PCS?

Are you 100% sure that if you sourced it elsewhere that it is an exact match for the laptop battery you have replaced and not from some dodgy 'cheap' copying battery manufacturer.

We need to know whether this is a PCS build before we can offer advice I'm afraid. Please post your FULL spec from the original order. :)

Apologies - I looked back at his previous posts and saw he had bought laptops in 2014 and 2017 so assumed it was for one of those.

I havent been on for a while, in 2016 had a massive Stroke. Which I am still recovering from.

Also I am Military Veteran, 14 years plus ..... any other info required... glad to accomodate, and
NO wasn't looking for a "Freebie" Just in need of genuine advice ... Oh nearly forgot .... ....
The stroke has left me paralysed .....
This is a strange post.
I dont see anyone bringing freebies up.
