The MSI PS63 Modern 8RC isn't charging properly.
I recently changed the battery and it functioned properly for the first day. I forgot to turn it off before heading to work last night and it shut down completely. Now the battery can't retain power. It powers on when connected but shuts off instantly when unplugged. I installed all Windows 10 updates and quality of life patches, pressed the battery reset button on the laptop's back, unplugged it, then held the power button and reconnected the battery. The charging light also doesn't activate.
When a lithium battery is drained too much, it can stop working properly without fully dying. To avoid this, safety measures should be in place, though some third-party suppliers may not follow them. The safest choice is to manually charge the cells yourself, skipping the notebook’s charging system. This approach is risky and should only be taken if you are confident in handling the process. Additionally, even at low voltage, other problems might arise.
