    Hello,

    I have a strange behavior of the windows battery meter (a small icon in the clock area) started couple days ago. It always shows 80% all the time regardless the power state (plugged-in or unplugged). I can work on the laptop until the battery eventually died. When then I plugg in AC adapter and boot up the Windows, the meter shows again 80%, and charging mode. After a couple hours of charging (still saying 80%) I can work unplugged on battery mode for ~6-7 hours until the battery died again.

    Any ideas and/or solutions?

    Thank you
