I have a acer laptop running windows 7, the problem is my battery is staying exactly at 10% and says "plugged in not charging". When I unplug it, it goes into sleep mode so I know that it really is 10 percent and not a glitch. I have tried searching for a solution on Google and tried going to device manager and uninstalling Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method and then searching for hardware changes which re installed it, I also searched for updates but I had the most recent one. Anyone know what could be the problem here? I'm really hoping I don't need a new battery, it seems like a software problem.
Thanks

Laptop batteries are usually 300 cycle, 18 month affairs. If it's not charging when windows is running, that's ONE THING. But if you shut down and without turning on the machine, it should charge. The circuits are designed that way and that's my test to see if there is any hard issue.

300 Cycle? I'm not 100% sure when I got the battery but I'm pretty sure it was about a year or longer ago... and even with the computer turned off the battery stays at 10% never going higher or lower.
