Uncharged Laptop Battery - Cannot Charge Laptop Battery

I have a personal laptop for my own use, which I left at home for about 6 hours. The problem was that I forgot to put on the adapter, so that the battery won't run out. And there I was, when I came back home, the laptop's battery was out. I immediately connected the charger but the "Charging Light" was not going on. I tried to turn on the laptop after a while, but it was not working. I am not sure why my laptop is not recharging. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

A few things to try.

First... make sure that the Poer Outlet you are plugged into has power. Plug in a lamp or something just to verfy that there is power there.

Physically remove the battery from the laptop, leave it out for about 30 seconds, and then put the battery back in, then plug in the charger again to see what happens.

I do warranty work on dells and sometimes there are sometimes an extra slow on the bottom for a secondary battery. You can go to support.dell.com and should be able to pull up a manual for your model to help locate this. Sometimes ac adapters get shorts in them also. It is very common. Play with the connector but don't bend it too much. Sometimes you can find a sweet spot where the cord likes to be. If your computer detects your ac adapter and it still won't charge, you may need a new battery. Make sure you get a new one from Dell cause other brands aren't garanteed to be detected, thus being unable to charge.

I don't know the answer to your question, however I can tell you that your Li-ion battery will have much longer life if you do not charge it to 100 %. Lifetime can be extended twice or even more.

It may be that the battery has been damaged by not being charged fully.

I dont know if it applies to laptop batteries but when a battery isnt charged fully it forms crystals in the solution of the battery which decrease its total capacity, hence you need to fully charge most batteries every now and then, and fully discharge them to clear the crystals.

Contact Sony support and ask them, it may be the battery is faulty.

Usually the idea is when you are not using the battery in the laptop for portable computing you take it out at 50% charge and run your laptop from your power pack. Then once and a while you discharge them totally and recharge, then go back to 50 %. Once batteries begin to go there is not really much to do for them, you just have to go and purchase another one.

I've tried the supposed freezer trick; trying to revive cells by putting the battery in the freezer for a duration. It doesn't work and isn't worth the risk.
