"No Battery Present" after swapping out, but runs unplugged

Hi there! Hope the title says it all. My Razer Blade 15 (2019)'s battery was spicy pillow swelling, so I bought iFixIt's replacement. I swapped it out (thanks, guide!). I turned it on, and the laptop runs without being plugged in! Yay. However, the OS does not seem to detect there being a battery. The battery pane shows "No battery present" instead of my charge, etc.

I restarted, plugged in and unplugged, opened it back up and made sure everything was secure. It seemed to be. I restarted again, etc. I've checked Device Manager and tried to update the drivers -- everything's up to date. Scanned for new devices -- nothing. Clearly the battery is delivering power, and I took my time browsing the internet, taking screenshots, etc.

Any ideas what's up? Could the battery have a bad controller of some kind?

Hi @ruaspy

Try uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method battery drivers in Device Manager > Battery, and then when they have been uninstalled, close all open windows and restart the laptop in the normal manner.

During the following startup, Windows will reinstall the drivers. Check if the battery shows that it is detected and charging etc. If it does allow it to fully charge (if necessary) and then check if it now works OK
