Hey all, Major Problems here... one day i was playing on the laptop browsing the internet etc and all a sudden i had realised that my battery was failing to charge and it only had about 1% left on a pernament basis.. however i didnt care at the time because i always have it constantly on the mains. What happened was i had a powercut in my house which meant the laptops battery died 30secs later. So what i did is put the laptop i my bag and made my way to my firends house to play some "doom" hehe When i got there i switched it on and a couple of minutes it cut off randomly.. no shutdown warning or anything... and this problem kept on going... now i sent my laptop to Packard Bell and they actually replaced the CPU and the keyboard (for some reason) and the problem still occours... Now im getting pretty confused and nobody who i know can actually help me. Can anybody here help me? thanks, Peter p.s sorry about the looong post

Hi! This occurs due to the possibility of power failure of the battery which means that the battery may be dead! It may no longer hold off any more current! Note: Unplug the battery when u use the main socket as your power supply! Continuous charge of your battery result in your current situation! Regards Chris Foo

i have tried that and it still cuts off :( Would a new battery help?

I can't totally say that as I am just assuming the battery is dead! There is only 70% a new battery will work! Regards Chris Foo
