Hi, I am having a problem with my laptop's battery, I plug in the charger to recharge the battery and I get flickering lights on my screen that won't stop and it says charging on the bottom but it doesn't charge no matter what I do and have given up at this point. It's not the charger because I can use the laptop plugged in off of the charger no problem. but even when I try to charge the battery it doesn't even show up (orange light) anymore. PLEASE HELP!!

Ohh well then since random chinese company lists your laptop model in the description then that is the changing factor between it being a cheap pile of crap and being a quality unit.

You can put a label on a webpage or on a power adapter, even if it says it is for the proper volts/amps does not mean that is what it actually provides.

I have seen many batteries and motherboards destroyed by these cheap knock offs.
Now you might be lucky enough to be able to swap power adapters and it work, or you might have already damaged the battery.

Here is a power adapter made by delta who is the company that ASUS, Acer, and Toshiba uses to make the oem power supplies for their computers...
Is the charger the OEM charger that came with the computer or a cheap replacement charger or even worse a "universal charger"

Even though it is powering your computer, it could be putting out a bad amount of volts/amps for the laptop to charge.

From seeing many fried batteries and motherboards i trust nothing else but the oem chrarger (or at minimum the brand that makes the oem charger). Cheap knockoffs dont care if they fry your computer, they already have your money and afterall the charger still works its just your computer that is now broken. And the univeral ones are even worse, even though they cost $50-100 and made by targus or other name brand. These universal ones try to shoot the middle as far as volts/amps output and end up not being a perfect fit for any laptop.
