I bought a laptop in November 2021 (~5 months ago) and it's been working fine but since yesterday it suddenly stopped charging properly. It was doing 1-2% per hour even when plugged in this morning, and now it's not charging at all, just says "plugged in" rather than plugged in and charging.
I tried some alternative charging cables I happened to have, and sockets in different houses, but it's still the same.
Is it possible to take the battery out of a Lafite? I don't want to void the warranty. I'm at a loss as to what the next steps are.
