>>Hi,

>>We had a power outage today. Maybe it is a coincidental, maybe not, but now when I turn on my notebook, and hover the mouse over the battery, it says "8% available. plugged in, not charging."
>>I checked that the power cable is connected.
>>I clicked on the battery icon and it shows that the battery health is Excellent.
>>I turned the notebook on and off a couple of times.
>>I took the battery out and put it in.
>>None of the above resolves the issue. If I remember correctly, before this outage, the battery was about 70% charged.

>>What else can I try?

>>TIA

>- charging circuit within the laptop may have gone bad

It is possible that the charging circuit of the laptop stopped working. I ordered a new battery. This will prove or disprove this possibility.
Thank you.
