Vaio Laptop only charges battery to 80%. Only a week old.

If it's only a week old then take it back and ask for a replacement. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

Agreed. It could be Battery, Charging cord, or Charging Circuit in laptop. Take or send it back for a replacement. You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

Check to see if Sony has a program running that limits battery charging to 80%...these utilities are used by some manufacturers to supposedly increase battery life. If so, you should be able to change settings to allow 100% charge. Worth a look... Skip Audares Juvo
