    Hiya,

    Having recharge issues with my notebook, it doesn't recharge after using it mobile around the house, it will show the recharge icon for a few minutes and then switches back to battery, discovered the ac lead was twitchy so replaced it at around £40, was recharging fine until I unplugged it again and wham it was doing it again, could it be the battery? they are rather pricey to replace, any suggestions?? Regards.

    If I read correctly? If it works on AC then the charge problem is not in the cord. Now you have said it charges and then stops? Confirm in Control Panel it is not fully charged (while not charging). If your Batt is more than a year old and you use a lot Batt might not hold much charge. More info needed to figure out what could be wrong.

    im having a similar problem with my N100. it will run fin as long as it is plugged into the charger but when i unplug it the computer looses power.

    the battery icon in the task bar tells me that the computer is plugged in but not charging and that i have 84% battery power available, but after i unplug it the computer dies.

    I am having the same problem with my N100. It will run fine when plugged into the AC adapter, but looses power when disconnected. The battery icon shows that it is 100% charged, but as yours, the computer dies when I unplug the AC adapter. Does anyone know what I need to do? Thanks!
