    I was only my G50v last night and the battery went down to 9% so i turned it off..Today when i got home i plugged in the charger and laptop..It says its at 0% and (Pluggedin, charging).. Its been plugged in for over an hour now and still reads 0%...If i unplug the cord it shuts off instantly...I've took out the battery left it for a mins then put in back in and booted again...Still the same..

    I've never heard of anythin like this...Please any reason why? and a fix?

    You killed the battery by draining it too low. You need to get a new battery.

    How its only 6months old, there is even a post that tells you to leave your battery to go completely dead and fully re-charge to re-calibrate it??

    Would a new battery be covered by warrenty??

    How old is the laptop? Batteries can die as early as 1 year. I mean, obviously yours is dead, but if it's a year old then it's not that abnormal.

    nm you just posted its age... yeah 6 months is early, I'd check with Asus.

    no and no again. boot up while plugged in and go into the bios and reset to factory settings. and reboot. and it should work. mine did the same thing.

    Read the battery guide on how to properly maintain your battery. Other than that, might be a glitch in the software controlling the battery charging, as Reaper said, resetting the factory settings in BIOS will recalibrate the system.

    I had the exact same thing happen with my G50V. Solved it by turning laptop off and removing the battery, then restarting.

    Just a related but not to the problem note. NEVER leave the battery fully discharged for any decent amount of time.
