I have an Acer Aspire 5552-3691 laptop and my battery needed to be replaced,so I recently bought a new and installed it. It still says no battery detected though??? What should I do. Hi All, I have 7 old Samsung R519 laptops that I'm selling off, all of which are displaying a 'battery not detected' on the battery meter. -Each laptop is running a fresh install of Vista Home (reset to factory defaults). My Sony Vaio laptop has problem in battery charging. Message ' No battery is detected' is appearing on the battery status when connected to power adopter. Loptop otherwise is working with AC power.

Hi,
1st I would clear general corruption and repair/replace damaged/missing system files :
Start - type this in Search Box -> COMMAND find at top and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN
Enter this at the prompt - sfc /scannow

Run checkdisk - schedule it to run at next start and then Apply OK your way out then restart.

Old battery? Unplug power to computer - remove battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
eraser (do not use this if your battery has thin slots - just clean the knife edges that fit into
them and be careful). Batteries do wear out if old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
Check with the support of the system maker and many of them have on line forums.
Newer type Litium-Ion batteries usually last longer if you do not discharge then below 30%
however on a laptop that will not extend their life that much. Best is to use A/C adapter
whenever possible.
I use the free version of BatteryBar to monitor my battery. Click the Green button on the
Yellow box on right side of page to download latest stable version.

You might also want to check with the System Maker and any forums as many use their own
proprietary software to monitor the battery and their could be known issues with your battery.
