Introduction
The battery gives the computer power, and if it is faulty or not connected properly, it will drain fast, or simply not power the computer or charge at all.
Before starting this guide, make sure that the problem is not that your current battery is just not all the way in. Look at the steps below, and follow them, and if your battery is now working you are good to go.
