    Umm...how to begin...

    My HEL80 seems to run on the battery when its plugged into the AC. When I click the battery icon in the system tray, it says its running on AC power but the battery is being drained away. So the battery is being drained and its not being charged. The power led on the front of the computer and on the power button itself are flashing (this only happens when I have the battery connected).

    So when the battery isn't in everything is ok. It runs on straight AC power and none of the lights are flashing.

    Something wrong with the battery??
