    I have had my laptop for around a year and a half now, and lately I have noticed that my battery life ICON isn't changing.
    It is stuck at a plugged in and fully charged icon, even when it is unplugged, and even when it is running alone on battery and about to die- it doesn't tell me by scrolling over it or in the visual indicator how much battery life I have left.

    I've found that using my empowering technology button to view my battery life works- but other than that- the icon in the task bar does nothing. It's been stuck at a 'plugged in and fully charged' icon for a few days now, and doesn't show anything when I scroll over it either.

    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to fix it? Am I stuck with checking my empowering technology bar to see my battery life or can I fix the one in the task bar area?? Was it me or just the computer? (Even when I click on that icon it doesn't let me go to my battery settings anymore..)

    It's not the battery itself having a problem- just the icon..is there some way I can fix it's settings?
