    Basically I'm having some issues with my laptop battery, which seems to be stuck at a particular percentage. By this I mean that when its plugged in the indicator says:

    However, when I unplug the mains the laptop turns off immediately, giving the impression that there is no charge at all.

    Research suggests that it may be a bios problem, but I'm wondering if anyone had any possible solutions?
