    I have a N100 showing 62% in power meter. When I pull the AC the lap just dies and does not power up except when AC reattached. I don't know if this is related but this first happened when I was trying to synch a blue tooth phone to my lap top.

    Does anyone have any ideas why this may be happening? My laptop is only 1yr old - could it be dead already?

    Could be dead battery (only has 1 yr warranty) or defective charging circuit.

    Thanks for the replies - I'm surprised that the battery can go from holding a decent charge to nothing overnight. Guess I have no choice but to replace and hope that does it.
