    My laptop's battery is at %0, it says - Plugged In, Not Charging..

    ?

    Anyone have this problem? It's a PAIN, if my plug falls out... the laptop dies.

    Just to check does it realize the battery is gone when you remove it? If so then probability is one of the cells died and you just are not getting the voltage across the battery.

    Well mines 5 months out of the return policy, but I did get a 1 yr accidental warranty. I'm going to call them tomorrow morning.
