I have to adapters. One stopped working before the other, which is why I
think it might be their fault. But the light is on both of them, and they
deliver power to my laptop; they just will not recharge it. My battery is
completely dead now. I have to use one of the cords.
If they are powering your laptop then these are ok. The problem looks like
you have a bad battery or the charging circuitry is at fault. You might try
another battery. Try charging your battery in another laptop if you have
access to one. If the problem is circuitry, you might have to bring it into
a service center. There are no customer serviceable part for this. If you
bring your computer in, the service shop can tell if you have a bad battery
or not. There are no configuration options that would make battery charging
behave this way. It's all hardware. There is a button on the battery you
can push to tell the health of the battery. When you push it you should see
all the lights be green. Since yours is discharged, some or most may be out
when the buton is pushed. This would be normal for a discharged battery.
Any other color would indicate a bad battery.
