    I have a LW60, and my laptop usually sits at home, plugged in. but i never take the battery out.

    a few days ago, i wanted to use it without the AC, and my laptop wouldnt turn on. this was the first time, since i used to use my comp at school while runing on batts.

    not my battery light is flickering, my comp doesnt recognize the battery and when i go to my display options and go to power settings, it says my battery is "discharging"

    what is going on?????

    How old is the battery? It may be fried?

    Sounds like the battery is fried like I said. If that is not the problem could be much worse. Sorry!
