    Hey guys,
    So had my 17X R4 for a while now (coming on to 4 years I think). All has been well except now all of a sudden my battery has decided to stop charging.

    Unplug the power or reboot the system and the battery starts to charge for 5 seconds then stops.

    Ran the autopsy software that's saying the battery is fine.
    Tried the remove battery and push power button while off power trick and that never solved it.

    The indicator is saying "Plugged in and Charging" yet the indicator is not moving or going above 8%.

    Any Ideas?

    Thanks in advance!
