My laptop is not charging, help!

Hi,

My laptop stopped charging recently. It works when plugged in but says "1%, not charging. Power mode (plugged in)." My first response was buying a new charger but the same thing happened. So I thought it must be the power jack. I ordered one on ebay and replaced it today. But the same thing happened - 1%, not charging...help! What else could it be?

Thanks Magda

Try replacing the battery, and/or the pins and cables connecting the battery to the power jack and motherboard.

The laptop is only two years old. Do you think it could be the battery? Thanks :)
