Laptop Power Problem

[Zero777]

Good day,

Okay to start things off my laptop is an ASUS N61J series model and it's been with me for about 3-4 years now.

The problem is that one day when I plugged my laptop to the charger the power just won't go in to my laptop. The charger is working fine and I was able to use my laptop via battery life.

I got it repaired at a local laptop repair center and they said that the BIOS IC (what they particularly said at the work performed is "Reseal/Reset BIOS IC").

So my question is what excatly happened to my laptop? Like:
1) What caused this problem
2) How did the shop excatly fix the problem just in case it happens again I would know what to do

Thanks in advance!

I think they're referring to the BIOS integrated controller. This controls basic functions of your laptop, outside of Windows.

From the description, it sounds like they opened up your laptop and 'reset the BIOS' - that is, remove the small button battery out of it, to force it to reset.

I don't know how that would help you charger problems.
