Laptop shows connected but not charging
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop running Win7 that shows that the plug is in but it is not charging the battery. I tried taking out the battery and it still works. I tried In Device Manager, Under the Batteries category, right-click all of the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listings, and select Uninstall. This happened once a few days latter all of a sudden it started to work again and now its happening again.

The battery could have gone bad (circuit inside the battery) or the power circuit on the motherboard which charges the battery could have gone bad (needs repair by technician).
To rule out software, turn OFF, be sure battery is IN, power up in BIOS and see if the battery takes a charge after a few minutes. Or, start with a bootable DVD and see if it charges.
