My HP laptop wont charge the battery

[darrell derrick]

My 2 cents, need to check wall adapter under load. And if you got an old < cheap>lap top , you might cut a round hole above the jack, and put a rubber plug in when finished changing. the jack, I found them on ebay. I have taken HPs apart it's do able. Can you try and charge the battery in that other laptop ? And prove it good? Camera phone is handy when disassembling, complex things. Good luck
