radiusulnar Posted August 4, 2024 Report Share Posted August 4, 2024 Have you tried unplugging the power source from the laptop to see if it will run from the battery? I don't think there is a setting on the laptop that disables battery running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiusulnar Posted August 9, 2024 Report Share Posted August 9, 2024 This means that the battery is probably no longer holding a charge. The battery needs to be replaced. How old is the laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentazmania Posted August 26, 2024 Report Share Posted August 26, 2024 There isn't any command or way u can disable the battery from the laptop. 1. Check your battery 2. Check the battery connection 3. Format the laptop then check again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
