My laptop's battery gave up on me, and it is running on direct AC power right now. I had knocked my bag with my laptop in it recently, and the problem started since then. the issue now is that my laptop seems to detect the battery, but it is not charging it. What may be the reason? Is it caused by physical damage, or software (unlikely but can it be solved through software, since it is detected by the OS).
some info of the system:
> acpi -i
Battery 0: Charging, 0%, charging at zero rate - will never fully charge.
Battery 0: design capacity 6511 mAh, last full capacity 5572 mAh = 85%
