    Panasonic Toughbook CF-48 won't charge battery

    Hello there, I recently got a Panasonic Toughbook CF-48 which has Windows XP installed on it. The laptop works fine by the problem which I am facing is that Panasonic Toughbook CF-48 won't charge. When the laptop is connected to the external power source, the battery does not get charged. Does this mean the laptop is having some hardware issue? Any suggestions regarding the topic are welcome.

    First of all check the external power adapter which you are using to charge the laptop. It is possible that the adapter which you are using to charge the laptop is faulty and hence the battery of the laptop is not getting charged. Check the output voltage of the adapter by using a Digital multimeter and see if the voltage matches the voltage ratings on the adapter. If there is large difference between the voltages, then you will have to change the power adapter as it is faulty and the reason behind the laptop not charging.

    As the laptop is recently bought it must be covered with the one year warranty by Panasonic. Hence as your laptop is not charging, take it to the authorized service center and get it checked. If the laptop is having any hardware problem, then you will get the laptop replaced if it under warranty and has not suffered any physical damage. Contacting the authorized service center will be the best solution.

    Are you able to use the laptop when connected to external power adapter? If yes then according to me the external adapter is not having any problems. You will have to check the connecting terminal on the laptop where the external power adapter is connected. The connecting terminal on the laptop may be faulty and hence the adapter is not able to connect to the laptop. Therefore check the connecting terminal and get it replaced if found faulty.

    Get the motherboard of the laptop checked as it is faulty. The power bank on the motherboard is responsible for providing the power output to all the devices which are connected. hence if the motherboard is faulty, such problems will be faced regularly. Hence check the motherboard and get it replaced if found faulty.

    The battery itself could be faulty which is creating such problem. If the battery itself is having some problems, it will not get charged and the laptop will face such problems. Hence I will suggest that you get the battery of the laptop checked and get it replaced if found faulty.
