So I got an Asus laptop with a hardware problem. When I turn it on, it says "No battery is detected." It's an internal battery, so it's a pain in the butt to remove, but I've done it. Now I want to figure out if there's a way to know with certainty that the battery is the problem, and not another component inside my computer. If the battery is the problem, I'll gladly replace it. But I don't want to spend the price of a new battery only to find out that it's just as useless as the current one because something else is wrong.

Any advice?

  BJ2727,

 

If you have or if you can borrow a multimeter see Checking Battery Charge with a Multimeter info here (omit step one obviously).

 

If you do not have access to a multimeter your best bet would be to have a local tech store test the battery for you, some will do this for free and some for a small fee, please ask first.

 

NB: Too late now but you would have been better to post here before removing the battery, the problem for example may have been software related.
