Laptop battery losing half of this full capacity and after 3Wh of full capacity in 1 day

I got a laptop, a Dell G15 5511, and I recently reinstalled Windows to have a clean start. I tried to optimise it as much as possible on battery, but I did a check-up of the battery and half of this full capacity is gone. I'm sure that before I reinstalled Windows, it was not at half. After a day, I checked up again and lost 3Wh of the full capacity.

I don't know what is going on with this battery but losing half of the full capacity after reinstalling Windows is just insane so if anyone can help me with that, it would be very appreciated.

There is the check up that I did with the windows battery report bluid in.

LG VC9800 doesn't want to play tapes

I have a LG VCR + DVD player combo that has the VCR part that doesn't want to play a tape, even destroying the tape by ejecting it while still in the mechanism. I try to see how the gears work and try to make it right, and nothing changes. So, I tried to clean the part that could have issues reading the tape, and still nothing, so now I don't know what to do.

The only things that I have noticed are that the tape doesn't roll even going forward or backward. The first time that I noticed this issue, the screen gave a still image with red colors only sometimes, and while inserting the tape inside, the mechanic sometimes cannot accept the tape or doesn't want to eject the tape. After 3 tries of ejecting it, the VCR shutdown.

I'm giving you some images and a video of it trying to work so hopefully you can give me help fixing this VCR.

Also, on the 2nd image, I changed the rubber band to see if it changed something and nothing new.
