What you need

Step 1

If the light is a steady orange or white, your computer should be charging normally and this guide is no longer necessary.
If the light is a blinking white, your computer is not charging properly and you should proceed to the next step.

In addition to the screws shown there are two screws under the pads close to the hinges. Pry the pads off and remove the screws under them. Then follow the instructions.

can you tell me the name of the battery ?

ganesh_sarma478 - Feb 6, 2018

Worked like a gem. Now my battery is even charging. There must be a loose connection between the battery and mother board. Double thumbs up to you!

This worked like a charm for me. Thank you for posting!! followed directions exactly, so easy to follow. The only trouble I had was getting the keyboard detached. It was really stuck on there, but I eventually got it. Battery is charging as we speak.
