    I'm using Clevo W740SU and the battery was swelled so I replaced to a new battery.
    It was good for a month.
    One day, I put the notebook in a backpack with a bottle of cold coffee.
    After a few hours, the cover was a bit humid and cold but it doesn't look wet.
    But my notebook doesn't get charged after that happened.

    Power pluged / Battery pluged : It works but battery not charged
    Power pluged / Battery unpluged : It works
    Power unpluged / Battery pluged : It works and battery decreases

    So I thought I replace another new battery but the charging problem was same as before.
    I guess something wrong with power circuit.
    Can anyone help me to solve the problem?

    It could have got in the machine, I'd open it up and visually inspect it. Cleaning the power area for the battery with isopropyl alcohol if there is residue.
