| This happened to my old laptop which was a compaq. One day the battery just wouldn't charge then about a year later after using mains only it started working fine again. Really strange. |

| It's quite common apparently. Same thng happened my MacBook a few months ago. They say you shouldn't let your laptop batery ever drain down to % and never leave the laptop on sleep or hibernate whre there's a cance the battery will drain down 100%. Th only other thing I can think of (assuming it's not working with the powerlead) is that the CMOS battery has died in the motherboard. It's a small flat battery about the size of a 2 Euro coin that holds some boot up and system info prior to the BIOS kicking in. Sounds lie you're within warranty anywa...hope you get sorted.

| Huzzah! Gave the battery a two second charge in my brothers laptop and popped it back into mine and it worked. The laptop was set to sleep so when the battery went back in, it came tolife straight away. So still not sure whether this is a power setting issue or battery issue, but jumpa is back! Thanks all |

| Power settings maybe? You might want to set the power settings to always on and disable hibernation. Not really ideal for a laptop. I'd keep an eye on it anyway, could be a laptop issue. |
