    Hi, I have a HP 530 notebook. It's quite new, I've only had it for a month, but I already have a problem and I think it concerns its battery. The situation is this: When the notebook is connected to the AC supply, it works perfectly, but the battery indicator shows that the battery is at 10%. I took this as the battery needing charging. So what I did was, turn off the notebook and plugged it to the AC supply to recharge the battery. When I did this, I noticed that the light hadn't turned on (it's usually yellow when it's charging, til it fully charges and goes green and finally it's off). It was off, no light. I didn't disconnect it from the AC supply for an hour, more or less. When I did, the yellow light appeared and started blinking continuously. I tried to turn the notebook on but it wouldn't.
    Could it be that battery's already gone bad? As I said, I've only had the notebook for a month .. Could you please help me?

    Oh and if there's already a thread about this, sorry for re-posting the problem, and in that case, could you please give me a link to it? Thanks!!!
