  • plugged in not charging ? bios flash without battery fujitsu ?

    laptop : Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi3540

    had it only for a year or less.

    battery was fine until two days ago, plugged in, not charging , stuck at 4%.

    did a LOT of research online, tried all the methods & combination of removing / reinstalling ,...etc. none worked.

    read that if i flash bios then it should work. problem is that i can not flash bios since battery is (perceived by the system) less than 10% .

    how to fix this ???

    would system restore / restore to factory settings resolve this ?

    please help . i'm quite sure the battery it self is fine and this is rather a software thingy.......

    can't be the power adapter, when I ran the diagnostics it is clear for the adapter, and the system is working fine if the adapter alone is plugged in, tried different wall outlets, no difference.
    - the messages i get:
    If only adapter plugged in : "The AC adapter and battery MUST be plugged in before the system bios can be flashed"

    If adapter and batteria Fujitsu Pi3540 plugged in : "Make sure the battery is more than 10% charged to flash bios"

    If the battery was OK, but is now failing to charge, then I would assume the battery is bad.

    I am not sure why you would assume that the BIOS (which will not have changed from when the battery was working) is the cause of the battery problem.
