The report:
<td class="detail-name">BIOS Date</td><td>09/26/2014</td></tr><tr><td class="detail-name">BIOS Version</td><td>G771JM.202</td>

Please update the BIOS to:
Version 2042015/01/152.32 MBytesBIOS 204 (G771JMC)
Support a new DeviceID

The information in the txt was not easy to read. Any chance you have the HTML version?

<td><span class="detail-name">Battery ID</span></td><td> ASUSTeKN551-52
HP
good battery:

Design Capacity	65520
Last Full Charge	65520

HP
dead battery:

Design Capacity 16250
Last Full Charge 16250
This is the information in the Asus report:
Design Capacity 56160
Last Full Charge 39992
Difference between design capacity and last full charge 16,168
Approximate charge (full charge/design capacity = 71%)
So if it cannot get above a 71% charge that appears to be a faulty battery
So these were the findings in the report:
1) hardware incompatibility?
2) BIOS needs updating
3) Faulty battery based on full charge/design capacity of 71%

OK, 1st- I tried outputting (twice) the report to HTML, but got errors
2nd- need a new battery, if you know of reputable on-line dealers would appreciate names; so far
seems like a reasonable price range is approx. $70
3rd- curious about the point made in report : PCI Express Active-State Power Management (ASPM) has been disabled due to a known incompatibility with the hardware in this computer
4th- need to upgrade BIOS
Need more than 24 hours in my day, or more days in the week (lol).
Thanks all, hopefully these steps will succeed.

Hey keesadad,
I've had this work for me in the past and is worth trying before buying a new battery :)

#2 - For the battery "plugged in not charging" ... Do this step by step ...

1. Unplug AC adapter.
2. Shutdown laptop
3. Remove battery
4. Plug in AC Adapter
5. Start laptop
6. Remove Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery:
a. Go to Device Manager > Batteries
b. Select Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery
c. Right Click > Uninstall
7. Shutdown laptop
8. Unplug AC Adapter
9. Replace battery
10. Plug in AC Adapter
11. Turn on laptop
12. Check battery status to see if says “plugged in and charging”

Followed this to the letter except #2 The computer shuts down automatically after #1
The computer battery icon says 88% available,CHARGING !
The ACPI-compliant control method battery driver has re-installed. This happened before but I had not gone through all the steps as you described. I'm going to leave it as it while I go out for a doctor appointment.
Question: what affect could the the message in #41 " PCI Express Active-State Power Management (ASPM) has been disabled due to a known incompatibility with the hardware in this computer" have on this issue? that msg came from running a PowerCfg Energy report from this computer?

PCI Express Active-State Power Management (ASPM) has been disabled due to a known incompatibility with the hardware in this computer

Have you checked Device Manager for any other/unknown devices and yellow exclamations. You might get lucky and it's just a driver that needs updating, but it appears a BIOS update is needed .... so please heed Ken's advice/warning :)

Note: Make sure you show Hidden Devices in Device Manager (View > Show Hidden Devices)

Have checked Device Manager and there are no yellow exclamations (including unhiding). I wish it would be just a driver. I have reset all the power settings/notifications to default. Also trying to research that disabled Active-State Power Management (ASPM) as reported in the energy report. My research on this disabled ASPM seems to point mostly to gaming computers plus, this is a gaming computer which used to run NVidia drivers for it's display, but those were replaced when Win 10 was first installed 2+ years ago, not by m,e but MS install, could these last two have any affect on the issue today? (ps..remind me to buy only a plain simple computer next time, looks nice is not a reason)

Thanks all for your help, keesadad

Please be advised there is some risk when updating BIOS, that is why I asked to check and not jump in..........y. You want to ensure there will be no power interruptions which isn't as much of an issue on a laptop as you have your battery, be plugged in with battery charged. Good luck. Ken

I read the whole thing you wrote, all good points except for the above- still as of now, I don't have a working battery;
when I did the process described by Eagle51, the battery showed at 88%, charging- now as I write this, it is still at 88%
NOT CHARGING, and if I pull the plug, the computer dies. So no BIOS update until I get a new battery. You ever hear of
internet battery company BattPit - ships from Canada?
