    Hi everyone,

    Yesterday, my mini 10 battery was running low so I shut down and plugged in. About 8 hours later, I went back to unplug it and the power light was still on like the computer was on and/or the battery was still charging. The computer was off.

    I unplugged and turned on the computer and it's clear the battery was fully charged. The light just never went out.

    Today the battery ran down. I shut down and plugged in. The power light, which is usually on solid if the battery is charging when the laptop is off, never came on.

    I unplugged the battery, unplugged the cord from the wall and the computer. Put everything back in place. Still no light.

    I turned it on and it will charge when the laptop is on. I turn it off, no light to indicate it's charging.

    I did a system restore out of desperation, all the way back to August. No change.

    Any advice?
