A:Answer Sounds to me like you have a "dead" battery that will no longer receive a charge or the computer is no longer working correctly where it will charge the battery when connected. I use a ASUS at work and at home. At work I use the original power cord, no issues. At home I use a Rocketfish universal adapter power cord and it charges most of the time, but sometimes, the computer doesn't register correctly and it says I have power but no battery charging. I would take to the store and have the Geek Squad check the battery for performance and then you'll know how to proceed from there.
