Hey folks, I'm reaching out because I'm facing a weird issue with my ASUS Expertbook BA1500CD. I've had it for about three or four years, and it just stopped charging out of nowhere. The charging port looks good, and while the cable has some noticeable wear, it's never interrupted the charging process before. I have a bad habit of keeping my laptop plugged in all the time, so I'm not sure if that could be a factor. The laptop works perfectly fine otherwise, but I keep seeing a warning sign in the battery settings. I'm curious about what might be causing this issue—could it be the cable, the battery, the port, or something else? Also, could anyone give me an idea of how much repairs might cost for different scenarios?

From what you've described, it might be the battery that's causing the issue. Quick tip: if you can, try removing the battery entirely and see if the laptop boots up without it. If it does, then you've likely pinpointed the battery as the culprit. If not, it could be a different issue since some laptops need the battery to function at all.
Hey there! Sorry to hear about your charging issue. First off, what does the warning sign say? Also, have you tried using a different charger? Sometimes it's a simple fix, like the charger itself being faulty.
The warning sign doesn't say anything specific, just hovering there. The laptop's about three to four years old. Unfortunately, I haven't tried another charger yet.
Would the laptop still turn on if the battery is dead and it's not charging?
