    How old is the laptop? Try looking up the battery wear level by checking up power management in Everest Ultimate Edition or by using Battery Bar.

    Try charging it for at least 12 hrs at a stretch. I still remember it happened to my old Toshiba once. Charging it for 12 hrs reset the battery.
