    I have the above laptop and the battery doesnt work!! It wont even boot up with battery power and if i unplug the AC cable after booting it stays on for 1 min before switching off.

    I downloaded the BIOS update and installed the two updates from MSDOS. This hasnt solved the problem and my system seems unchanged.

    I did a clean windows install a while ago, does that have anything to do with this?

    Any help on being able to use the battery for more than 1 min would be much appreciated!

    Thanks.
