Charger plugged in but battery is not charging but windows says it is charging.

I have an HDX X18T-1100 CTO Premium Notebook 64bit with Vista Ultimate...I thought my battery was bad because when charger is plugged in the icon in system tray says" plugged in, charging" but it's not charging so I bought a new battery.  Same problem so I replaced the AC/DC plug in the computer....still the same problem... says batter at 7% (plugged in, charging) but it's not charging.  

Hi,
This could well be a Hardware problem with the charging circuitry, but it may be worth trying the following.
First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute.
Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the PC down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.  Windows will reinstall the missing driver soon after logon.  Leave it to idle for a few minutes, then restart again to see if this has helped the issue at all.
Regards,
DP-K
