    Basically something happened yesterday to my laptop and it hasn't been right since. When I plug in the AC adaptor, the little light where the jack is won't turn on at all.

    Also, the LED light will only go on sometimes and will charge and then stop. It will then randomly decide to continue to charge after a period of time.

    Now, even when the LED light is off the battery will stay a certain level like 32% as it is now. When I check the battery icon it won't say it is charging even when it is - know by the LED light.

    I have checked support assistant but it says that the ac adaptor isn't plugged in even when the LED light is on.

    Please help.

    Aye guys it is charging and stopping and repeating this process. When I have the AC adopter in, even though no light is given, and take the battery out it continues to run as normal. When I remove the ac lead the whole thing goes off, so it is getting power. Can't understand why these lights go on and also why it will no go past a certain level after it finishes charging.

    It also has spurts of charging - 8% odd every 20 minutes or so.

    I have had this less than a year.
