    Hey guys.

    I got my SB 3 months ago and it's been working fine up till tonight. The laptop won't turn on unless it is plugged in. If it's plugged in and I unplug it, it turns off.

    I've also tried putting my sheet battery on and it doesn't turn on.

    Anyone have this problem? Can it be fixed? Really need my laptop since projects and finals are coming up.

    EDIT: the computer detects the battery. I've set battery care to 80%, but it keeps saying ("Plugged in, Charging") even though it is fully charged, and the charge light indicator is off so I'm not sure whats going on. Not sure if this info helps.

    Have you tried updating your BIOS, or doing a clean install?
