<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt may seem basic, but the very first step is to ensure all connections are securely plugged in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Remove your laptop charger from both the power outlet and your laptop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Look closely at all the connection points to see if there is any dirt or damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Then plug the charger back into the wall and your laptop firmly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Try using the same wall outlet with another device to see if the outlet is working fine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Also check the charging port on your laptop. If it feels loose or shaky there could be a problem with the port itself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
2. Check that you\u2019re using the correct port to charge your laptop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![\"2.](\"https:\/\/www.vertech.com.bd\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2.-Check-that-youre-using-the-correct-port-to-charge-your-laptop-1024x536.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNowadays, many modern laptops<\/a> charge through USB-C, but not every USB-C port is meant for charging. If your laptop has several USB-C ports, typically only one or two are meant to deliver power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To figure out the right one, you can check your laptop\u2019s manual or look for a small charging symbol near the port. You can also try using different USB-C ports to see which one works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Check your power cord and adapter carefully<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![\"3.](\"https:\/\/www.vertech.com.bd\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.-Check-your-power-cord-and-adapter-carefully-1024x536.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTake a close look along the entire charging cable and the adapter brick, checking for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Any frayed or exposed wires<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sharp bends or twists<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Signs of discoloration or melting on the adapter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Loose or unstable connections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Charging your laptop with a battery pack or a low-power outlet might not work well. It may keep the battery level from dropping but won\u2019t fully charge it because the power supply isn\u2019t strong enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can gently flex the cable near the connection points to check for any occasional problems. If you spot any damage, it\u2019s best to replace the entire charger. You may read more –<\/strong> How to fix an overheating laptop<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Take out the battery (if your laptop allows it)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![\"4.](\"https:\/\/www.vertech.com.bd\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4.-Take-out-the-battery-if-your-laptop-allows-it-1024x536.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor laptops with removable batteries, you can try this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Turn off your laptop and disconnect the charger.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Take out the battery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds to clear any leftover power.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Connect the charger while the battery is still out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Try turning on the laptop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Now, if your laptop powers on without the battery that means the battery might be the problem, not the charger. Put the battery back in and test it once more. If it still doesn\u2019t work properly you might need to replace the battery. You may read more – <\/strong>How to Increase Laptop Battery Life<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Make sure your power management settings are configured correctly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

- Select \u201cUpdate driver\u201d and follow the instructions on screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If the update doesn\u2019t solve the problem, try uninstalling the driver.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Restart your laptop, and Windows will automatically reinstall the driver<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Try using the power troubleshooter to find and fix issues<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

- Follow the prompts to complete the troubleshooting process<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
8. Verify laptop\u2019s battery health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It’s very important to check your battery health to understand how well it’s performing over time. A quick report can show if your battery is wearing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Firstly, open a Command Prompt as an administrator<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Now type powercfg \/batteryreport and press Enter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
