**dONGsUN** · 05-09-2010

I am an IT student i am having this Acer Aspire 5738ZG from last two years and i have seen charging issue with this laptop many time but it used to get charged after 2-3 attempts. I am using 64 bit windows 7 on this laptop and the problem is that it is not getting charged at all. Do not know why but it does not even start charging. I have got annoyed by watching "Plugged in not charging". Please get me rid of it.

My old battery was fully charged only 15-20 minutes, so I ordered the day a new (and 14.8 V, 4800 mAh, however, instead of 5200). Yesterday came the piece to be and I have it loaded in accordance with the instructions first 10 hours long. Then turned on laptop: battery was at 64%. Have then kept on the power supply and let the battery become empty. This morning, two hours in the off state and load can be connected (so I thought at least). Then power supply disconnected and pushed start button - no response! So power supply re-connected and started. Now, stand by me also remain "4% (AC power, not charging)".

I suggest you to follow the given steps which might solves your battery problem.

Pull out the power supply [PC then goes out.]
Wait briefly.
Remove the battery clean.
Notebook stands freely [also without power supply and battery]
Wait a few minutes.
Battery poke slowly.
Power infected PC as usual and recharge.

There has been recommended when the battery does not need a long time, store it in a cargo capacity of about 50-80% outside of the notebook. About once a month, you should increase the charge state kontrolliereun un necessary. If needed, the battery just before he was again fully charged.
I have an IBM notebook. In the reference material is that they recommend once a month to drain the battery completely (less than 3%) to get the performance.
