    Hi!
    So about a week or two ago my year and a half old Toshiba Satellite M100-222 has been acting up. It doesn't charge the battery when turned on, but it does charge it, when in sleep, hibernate or turned off. Also when it's plugged in and working its shows that it's plugged in it still takes power from the battery and ultimately it says that battery is empty and I need to connect to AC power, wich I am. When i unplug and replug the cord it charges the battery for about 10-15 seconds and that's it.

    Also I found out that in safe mod the battery keeps on charging, but when I boot normally then it stops charging even before the WinXP loading screen is done...

    Any help would be appreciated.
