Battery or charger failure

**Wguy2008** · 09-05-2009

I am having a laptop since 3 years now. The problem is that I am unable to charge the battery anymore. Generally when I hard-charged it, suddenly it turn off by itself. This starts irritating me. I bought a new charger, but it did nothing. Is there any other way to find out if it's the battery or charger problem?

Why don't you try to change your battery or try your battery on some different laptop to confirm if its the battery fault. One more thing, it could also be the problem of motherboard. I mean might be your motherboard is not getting enough power supply (due to its connectors being faulty) which can cause turning off your computer.

Since your laptop is 3 years old, the shutting down of, even though if it is charged, could be the problem of excessive heating. Now a days most of the laptops have sensors that makes laptop shuts down, or rest species if it becomes overheated to prevent fire and damage.

My solution to this would be either increase the ventilation for your system or do dusting to cool your system, or you can also call the manufacturer for appropriate help.
