    (1) Press and hold power button for about 10 seconds or untill the fan shuts off and the power LED light is off.
    (2) Unplug the  charger.
    (3)  Gently insert and press a paperclip into battery disconnect pinhole on bottom of laptop for about a minute.
    (4) Plug charger back in but wait for  battery charge LED to turn steady blue
    (5) Only after battery charge LED turns steady blue, press power button to turn machine back on.

    Hi @ToeKnee,

    Are you getting any light indication when charger is connected.

    mine also does this and I have to constantly reset the battery on the bottom. How do I fix it so it stops.

    It runs very hot.

    Fan blades and air ducts are probably clogged with dust & debris. Try vacuuming the air intake ports and blowing air into the air exhaust ports to try to dislodge and remove this debris.
