    I have an satellite l735-11f laptop and i have been facing a problem where the laptop battery does not charge even when power cable is plugged in.

    I have noticed though that i am able to charge my battery if i follow these steps -

    1. Switch off my laptop, unplug the power cable and take out the battery.
    2. Wait for 2-3 seconds and put the battery back in
    3. Connect the power cable while the laptop is off

    As long as i do not switch on my laptop, my battery charges.

    This says it all. Your charger doesn't have enough energy to power both battery charging circuit and laptop. If it is nit the original one try to replace it with another of the same voltage but a greater current (amperage).

    If it is the original charger, then it is broken and can't supply the required current anymore.
