    Hello,

    Its been a week or two that battery wouldn't charge. Here is what I did :

    -Got my AC Adapter Replaced
    -My motherboard Replaced
    -Bought a new 9-cell battery.

    When I bought the new battery, it seemed to work. I let it charge to 100% and then was discharging to test the battery life. At about 50% the laptop shut-off. The battery, even after 7 hours of charging, won't charge. In the BIOS, it says charging but the indicator is stuck at 65%. What do I do ?

    I'm not sure if this would help (and you shouldn't really need to for a new battery), but have you tried to calibrate your battery?
