strange battery problems with my computer
Dell G15 5520
I have a Dell g15 5520 that I got about 2 years ago in september of 2021, a few months ago it has been having battery issues and would not charge. I replaced the battery recently about one month ago, and it worked for a couple of weeks until it stopped charging recently with the 4 amber 1 light code, which was about saturday night of last week. Also, instead of saying 0% available, plugged in, like in other videos i see, it says 0% remaining with the lightning symbol on, if anybody has any fixes or ideas please let me know as this has been a recurring issue for a few months, thanks.

You may need to replace the AC adapter. When it was not recognized in BIOS, the laptop will block it from charging the battery.

Does the system correctly identify the AC adapter? F2 at powerup to check.
