I have a problem, the battery do not really charge, 100% is reach in few minutes, and it works less than 15 minutes on battery. Is anybody have a solution ? Bios update maybe ?

I got to pull out my bloated battery…. Though it could work with just the charger on stand by but it did not… Anyone knows where I can purchase new battery? Can’t bring it to the shop because of quarantine but need to work from home.

I removed the bloated battery too. It can’t power on properly. The power light just just on and off around every 5 seconds. Is yours the same?
