    Hi all

    I have a IBM think pad t43 and it has stopped charging the battery.

    Anybody out there with ideas to trouble shoot or what piece needs to be fixed

    Thanks

    Is the computer working when plugged into a wall?

    i reckon it's your battery that's given up,so most likely you should get a replacement.

    I have two batteries for the laptop and both of them are not getting charged.

    I don't think it is the battery but more todo with the laptop

    could be the charger or the motherboard , try getting a loan of another charger to rule that out first.

    Open Power Manager and see what it says about the health of the batteries - compare 'design capacity' to 'full charge capacity'.

    You may need to do a battery gauge reset.
