Laptops are fantastic. They enable us to access considerable computing power from just about anywhere. That’s probably why the global market for laptops is valued at more than $101 billion.

But laptops aren’t perfect. They have their own sets of problems that are distinguishable from the ones that a PC might have. One of the best examples of this is issues with a laptop’s battery.

For example, you may have an Asus laptop with a battery light that’s blinking orange and green. If so, you could be unsure about how to fix the problem. But don’t worry. This guide will help with that.

If your Asus laptop battery light is blinking orange and green, the fix is pretty straightforward. Start by restarting the laptop. Then when the RoG logo appears, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. The power light will go off and on while you do. Now just start your laptop like normal and everything should be working fine.

Why is the Orange light flashing on my Asus laptop?

Asus laptops use a color-coding system to share how much power they have left. When the light is green, it means that the laptop has between 95% and 100% of its power. But when the light begins flashing orange, that means you’re running out of power. This could be happening for a few reasons.

For example, the blinking orange light may come on when your battery power is below 10%. It could also come on if you’re using AC power and the battery is still below 5%. 

In each of these situations, the solution is to continue charging your laptop. Once its battery has more power, the orange blinking light should be replaced by a solid green one.

You could have a more serious problem if your light is flashing orange and your battery power is above 10%. In this situation, there is probably an issue with either your laptop battery or the charger.

The solution would be to replace the charger first because that’s easier. If that doesn’t work, then you’re going to have to replace your Asus laptop battery.

How do I reset my Asus laptop battery?

The answer to this depends on what type of Asus laptop you have. There’s a different process for laptops with removable batteries and those with built-in batteries.

If you have a laptop with a removable battery, here’s a step-by-step guide for resetting it:

1. Disconnect the AC adapter
2. Remove the battery from the laptop
3. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds
4. Replace the battery and reconnect the AC adapter
5. Turn on the laptop’s power

If you have an Asus laptop with a built-in battery, then this is the guide that you should follow:

1. Remove the laptop’s AC adapter
2. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds
3. Reconnect the AC adaptor
4. Turn the device back on

This will complete a full reset of your laptop’s battery. It’s a solution you should try whenever your laptop can’t be turned on or has no display. But if it doesn’t solve your problem, then you may need to look into replacing your battery.

Asus laptop battery not charging

There are a number of reasons why your Asus laptop battery could not be charging. The first thing you should do is take a look at your charger.

Begin by making sure that the charger is plugged into the wall and your laptop completely. Then look to see if the cable is damaged. It’s possible that a wire has been split and is preventing the needed flow of power. If so, the solution is to replace the charger with a new one.

If that doesn’t work, you should try doing the battery reset process described in the previous section. Make sure to use the right process for your specific type of laptop.

Another solution is to try and update and confirm your BIOS. This helps with system stability and optimization. It could have an impact on your laptop’s charging capabilities. Here’s a guide you can follow to do that.

You may also want to try reinstalling the battery drive adaptors in your device manager. You can also try running battery diagnosis via MyASUS. This guide will walk you through how to do each of those things.

Asus laptop battery light blinking white

Your laptop battery light could be blinking white for two major reasons. First, the white light could mean that the battery isn’t connected properly. Or, the light could be showing that your battery is defective and will no longer work.

Either way, the solution to the problem is the same. You’re going to want to try resetting your laptop batter, by following one of the guides included above. The process is pretty easy. 

You just remove the battery (if your laptop has a removable battery). Then you’ll unplug it from AC power and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Then when you turn the laptop back on, the problem should be fixed. If not, you likely have a hardware issue that needs to be fixed by someone who knows what they’re doing.

Average Asus laptop battery life

It can be useful to know how long an Asus laptop battery should last. Because if you’re having issues after the average lifespan of a battery, you probably need to replace it. But if you’re having issues during the battery’s normal lifespan, you may not need to.

Asus says that its laptop batteries should last between 300-500 cycles. That translates to about a year of use. But this may not be entirely accurate. Most people who have Asus laptops report batteries that last for much longer than this.

Asus laptops use Lithium Ion rechargeable cells. These are known to last for between 3-5 years of regular use. So you should plan on your Asus laptop battery to last about this long.

Asus laptop battery not charging to 100

Your Asus laptop might also be charging but not all the way to 100. There are numerous reasons as to why this could be happening. Often, there are unknown glitches that cause the issue. When it happens, the solution is pretty simple.

To fix a laptop battery that doesn’t charge to 100, try this:

1. Power down the computer
2. Unplug the AC adapter
3. Remove the battery (if your laptop has a removable battery)
4. Press and hold the power button for at least 30 seconds
5. Replace the battery (if you had to remove it)
6. Plug the AC adapter back into the wall
7. Turn on the computer

That should fix your problem. If it doesn’t, then you may want to try bringing your laptop in for service. Or you could also just purchase a new battery to solve the problem.

Asus laptop battery removal

Removing the battery from an Asus laptop is a pretty complex job. If you’re not familiar with this, you may want to leave the work to a professional. They’ll be able to remove your laptop’s battery without damaging any of its internal components.

But if you want to do the job yourself, then you’ll need a few things. First, you’re going to need a Phillips #0 screwdriver. This will allow you to take off the bottom portion of your laptop so you can reach its battery. 

Next, you’ll need a set of laptop opening tools. These help to pry apart the case of the laptop and give you access to hard-to-reach areas within it. You can find them online pretty easily.

After that, you’ll need a guide that walks you through exactly how to remove the battery from your Asus model. The process can differ from laptop to laptop. Don’t make the mistake of using a guide for an Asus laptop that isn’t yours and assuming it will work.

Asus laptop battery replacement

To replace an Asus laptop battery, you need to take the laptop apart. This is covered in the section above. But generally, it’s a better idea to hire a professional to do the job for you. They’ll make sure that your laptop isn’t damaged while you replace its battery.

Before getting your battery replaced, make sure that it’s worth the costs of doing so. A professional could charge you a couple of hundred bucks plus the costs of the new battery. It might almost be worth buying a new laptop for that price.

Why does my laptop battery light keep blinking?

This usually indicates a charging problem. It could be that your charger isn’t plugged in and the battery is getting low. Or it could mean that your charger is plugged in but it’s not working for some reason. The blinking light could also indicate a malfunctioning internal laptop battery.

What does the red battery light mean on my laptop?

A red battery light is a universal sign of low charge. If your laptop battery light is red, then you almost definitely need to recharge it. Fixing the problem should be as easy as plugging your laptop into its AC adapter.
