I unplugged the AC cable of my netbook and the system went off. I tried to switch it on again but it refused. When I plugged the AC cable again it came on. It showed 98% charging but never went above that.It continued like that, I cant use the system again on battery, whenever it is working and the AC cable is unplugged, the system will go off immediately. After about One week I discovered that the Battery now shows 80%, meanwhile it has never run on battery since that incident.
Please I will appreciate any help or at least explanation where the problem might be from.

I think i have similar problem with my laptop (Toshiba satellite 1100ZN once i unplugged the power the battery indicator still show charging while the power led is on and my battery indicator is on. Am not that bothered with this. Please will the battery keep discharging even if the laptop is off?

I am on a Macbook and I’m trying to avoid these problems with my battery by taking care of it better. It’s a pain to be taking the battery in and out all of the time, so I was wondering if you knew of any software that can direct the power source strictly to my A/C adapter once my battery is charged. It would be a great help. Hopefully this exists… thanks

I have a strange problem. There is no issue with my laptop charging or running, the problem has to do rather with the indicator light. The light keeps flashing 4 times orange and one green over and over again, regardless of the level of charge in the battery or if it’s plugged in. I tried removing the battery and replacing it thinking it might reset itself, but no luck. I can’t seem to be able to fix the darn indicator light, and frankly it bothers the heck out of me, any ideas?

Thinkpad T41. I took off the battery and started with charger only. The battery charging LED was not up. Do you still think it is the motherboard. I have two sets of batteries with same result.I charge the batteries using another unit. When the battery is full, the LED in the faulty compter displays green.
