So this was annoying: an ASUS laptop that I procured for a nonprofit stopped working on battery power. Previously we solved it by simply uninstalling all the drivers under Batteries in the Windows Device Manager (as outlined in this article). But this time that didn't work. I actually had to crack open the laptop itself, pull out the battery, and then reseat it.
Even more annoying is that the ribbon connector for the track bad is very finicky, so getting it reseated so that the trackpad still works proved to be as much of a hassle as reseting the laptop’s power management system.
