Battery not charging

[aardvark4design]

I've just bought a new high capacity battery for my VGN-AR71ZU running win 7 but it wont charge, it says 'plugged in, not charging'. I know the battery and charger are all ok so it must be 7, has anyone else come across this issue?

Hi

In a seperate thread I've had battery problems and had to re-install the Sony VAIO Battery Checker software.

Try running VAIO Care Recovery and Restore programme (from the start menu), use the Recovery option  - Reinstall Applications and Drivers – and re-installed the Battery Checker (check box option).

Perhaps first see my other reply message to see if there are any similarities

Vaio Battery does not seem to keep its charge?  (this has pasted into here as a link - if the link doesn't work try using the text to search the forum)
