Happened on one of our laptops. The battery was draining and if you plug in the charger, it just says "Plugged In, Not Charging"

To fix:
  • Unplug the charger
  • Restart the laptop
  • Press Enter to interrupt normal startup
  • Press F1 to enter the BIOS Seup
  • Go to Config, Power
  • Go to the bottom of the list where it says "Disable built-in battery". Press Enter. The laptop will shut down. 
  • Plug in the charger and restart the laptop.
