Chosen Solution
My Asus F551m has a battery problem, can’t recharge anymore, flashes green and orange led when on charger at off state. when on, it shows battery charging but symbol but always at 0% charge, so I concluded that the battery is dead and I decided to buy a compatible battery for replacement. the closer I could get in term of voltage rating is 14.4 v/ 2200mAh/32Wh but the battery to be replaced is rated 11.25v/2850mAh/33Wh. can I use the 14.4v battery to replace the 11.25v? or is there a way apart of solving this problem of battery not charging (green and orange led light flashing) from replacing the battery?
Hello Marvin, It is possible to use the 14.4V battery as long as it is built for your specific laptop. Many laptops have circuitry that can handle a voltage range. What that range is depends on each model. Check your laptop documentation before plugging in third-party batteries. The flashing green/orange LED usually indicates a charging problem. This could be the power adapter, motherboard, or battery. Shut down the laptop, take the battery out, and try to start the laptop up with only the power adapter. If it doesn’t start, you may have an adapter problem.
I had a similar issue. My laptop would stay on with the charger plugged in but the charging light would be flashing orange and the battery indicator would never show full charge or that it was even charging. I tried an answer I found on another forum, which is to restart the laptop and then when the logo appears press the start button and hold for 10+ seconds. Voila! To my surprise, this simple fix actually worked. The light is now solid green and the battery charge indicator reads as it should. It first indicated it was 10 minutes to a full charge and updated until it reached full charge. By the way, my laptop is an Asus r510d
The numbers you gave are not compatible. The 14v battery has less power than the 11v. Laptops need AmpHours. Most are not sensitive about total voltage, because the charging-circuits take care of it. The 14v will probably fit… but it will not last as long. That means: No movies on the airplane ! Does the charger get HOT ? with the laptop OFF ? with the laptop ON ? What is the specs of the charger ? Its your call, my wife’s big-screen ASUS stays on her desk. Its battery-less :>)
The battery connector was the with that problem. But it is not easy to replace the battery connector, since it was connected/attached to the mother board. You can replace the mother board assembly but quite expensive. It’s better to buy a new one than replacing the mother board. Since the price is almost the same with a new one.
