Hi i just bought a new notebook, it works perfectly apart that it seems not to charge the battery! When it's plugged in the wall socket it says that it's connected to manins power line, but battery level stays stuck at 0%, after a nite of charging that's the same story... i tried disconecting the charger and voilĂ  the computer stays on for two hours! And at the ends it symply shuts down without alerts of stanby or suspension because battery was already at 0%!!! I mean, it stays all the time with red flashing light of low battery and windows says completely empty battery! But that's far from true! How can I correct this? Thank you guys!

You'll probably end up at a local repair counter asking for help. They will (If they are honest) charge you around $12.50 to test things and let you know what is happening.

That should take you about 30 minutes.

I would remove the battery and clean the contacts. Then I would allow it to charge for 3 or 4 days without touching it.

Good Luck!

If you have just purchased the laptop it will be under warranty. Go back to the shop and tell them the problem regarding the charging of the batteries...

Boycott James Hardie Products.
