My laptop is not charging when its turned on, it says plugged in but the battery keeps on decreasing. When I charge it while its turned off, it charges for a long time. It will take 2 days for my laptop to be fully charged. I checked the battery health on acer care center, it says battery healthy is "good."

I tried the device manager, system configuration, battery resetting even removing the battery and plugging it again. It still wont charge.

What do you think is the problem? Do you think the charger is the main problem?

    Hello!!

    @calikean, From the description you shared it seems that adapter is not providing actual voltage to charge the internal battery in laptop. The embedded form of digital coil inside the adapter might have gone weaker and not able to provide actual needed volt for the battery. 

    Before buying new adapter, I recommend you to check the adapter and confirm it is defective.
