hello NLs. I use a dell inspiron 1525. Recently my laptop battery became bad. it was still charging but the battery life was reduced to about 30mins. Later the batter stopped charging and when i went to computer village to replace it yesterday every battery i tried didn't charge. I even changed my charging point with the hope that that would fix the problem but the battery is still not charging. Pls advice me. What do i do next?

try another laptop charger, if that does not solve it, the problem may be on the inverter circuitry of the laptop's power board if it has one seperate from the motherboard, or the motherboard itself.

connect charger to laptop and switch it on the mains and
turn the laptop on quickly pressing f2 you see bios setup
utility scrool down to power management you'd see the
battery sign does it says installed and how much %

I use the same laptop but a driver is not present on my system which makes some software not to work please help

get a laptop battery that could last you more than 10hrs at a stretch and it can power your 3 in 1 printer
