My laptop won't recognize this battery, says battery not installed. How can I make it work?

I had to help it into place, it didn't fit as accurately as the dell battery.

Not sure but I'd return it if it's the same people I bought mine from it only lasted 3 months. It's a scam..

I do not know. You need to look at your current battery read the information on it to see if it will work with your laptop. Read the specifications of the replacement battery and see if it will work with the model of your laptop. Thanks

Well...it could be your battery. Try using the plug after removing the battery from it and if the laptop comes on, its definitely your battery!!

That is the battery in my computer. When I put the model number it is too old of a computer for amazon to recognize it.

Dear Stephanie, When you say that the laptop doesn't detect the battery do you mean when you turn it on nothing happens. What I'm trying to say (not very well) is does it operate at all with the battery in place. One of the batteries I got is not detected by the computer but I just left in and connected it to power and let it charge for the same amount of time as the old one. Then I removed power, the battery was charged and worked fine in the laptop. It is kind of a pain though because you never have any warning, when it goes to laptop shuts down and you have to charge it again. Later I got another battery (newer) and it was detected and works properly indicating charging and charged. It was a real improvement because it lasted almost 4 hours and the original battery that came in the laptop only lasted a little over an hour. Hope this info helps a little. Smiley

First, confirm that this this the correct replacement battery. Second, to be absolutely sure, take your laptop with the old battery down to a computer battery store or someone like Best Buy and have it checked. On my battery, due to the age of the battery, it wouldn't hold a charge any longer than 2-3 hours, so I replaced it. How old is your battery? Best of luck.

HiI would not take a chance on it , if it is not listed, find one that states it, I have in the past done that and had to return the battery , in one case the battery would not even fit the laptop case. Hope this helps

The battery fits perfectly, however, it is not holding it's charge. What should I do?

Well, if you have a Toshiba laptop, take a look at the current battery. Or look on eBay for Toshiba batteries, but they seem to make a lot of different kinds, so be sure to get the right one. Somewhere under Help, check your laptop system hardware.

It's the replacement battery. It does not work. Mine was the same. Put the old one one and I bet it will work

I am not sure it's gonna be work on your laptop or no, you have to make sure order same battery as you use before

turn your laptop upside down, the long strip at the top holds the battery. just lift it up and out and than replace with battery. What you are seeing is the actual battery itself, or rather the outside.

Dead battery? Get a jump! haha Seriously now.Are you sure its the battery? Does it work when its plugged in? As soon as you unplug,does it stop working? If that's the case,I'd take it in to a computer shop to get looked at.Is it still under warranty,& if that's the case,send it in.I haven't looked at my own manual,but can you change the battery yourself? I'd see if I could do it first myself,instead of paying omeone for something you might be able to do yourself.

Are you sure the charger is working, I would check that first? If so, also suggest you might need to disassemble it to determine the battery model and type, then search online accordingly. Sorry - not a positive answer to your question.

Normal because that battery is not the battery of that laptop. I bought the same but threw it to the wastebasket. Useless

screw bottom off. put battery in. screw bottom back on. if it works, hooray. if not, try flipping the battery. battery should be 50% or newer to get the best experience. if it still doesn't work, you may have an d.o.a... contact your seller.

The battery I received could not be detected by my Dell Inspiron 1545. Perhaps I just got a defective battery, but it has colored my opinion of this product.
