Lenovo N20p not charging

The Chromebook will not charge when plugged into the charger

Faulty Power Adapter:

First, make sure the power adapter is plugged into the Chromebook outlet to the left-hand side. Then, check to see if the power adapter light is visible. To further see if the Chromebook is charging or not, the light should be flashing. If not flashing, then that would mean the adapter is broken. Now consider getting a new power adapter.

Defective battery:

First, go to the left side of the Chromebook to check the power adapter for visible light. Then if you see that the power connection light is visible, then you know that the power adapter is not the issue. To further check this, look at the computer to see if it still powers on when the power adapter is still plugged in. If the computer only turns on when it is plugged in, that means the battery is faulty. For this, replace the battery. To view the steps to replace your battery, follow this guide.
