[QUOTE="jetman, post: 695404, member: 63028"] Hi- I bought a brand new Asus X205TA cheap travel laptop last year. I didn't do the traveling I wanted to do and kept it in storage. I have now tried using the laptop and it works fine- except the battery wont hold any charge. When plugged in, there is a flashing light which blinks orange- green- off (in that sequence). It has also just flashed orange as well. The Windows icon shows the battery to be 100% charged- but it isn't. if I turn off the mains power the laptop turns off instantly. I suppose I have permanently damaged the battery by not using it for a year ? However- are there any tricks or tips and I can use to TRY and get it charging again ? The cost of replacing the internal battery is more than this laptop is worth. Thanks. PS- Some extra information... The laptop was originally Windows 8. I did a totally clean install of Windows 10. Not sure if that would have affected anything (I doubt it). [/QUOTE]
