JT! Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 It says the battery is constantly charging. It's been 89-91% for a few days now. The laptop only works when it's conected to the mains, if i unplug it, it goes off. Haven't tried alot, removed the battery and made sure it look ok etc, that's all i've tried.Help.

CBProductions Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Is it a new battery or second hand ? I had this many times , usually means people havent charged it properly and have also not let it drain. Just order a new batter if its old if not then get it under warranty or treat your batteries better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Latop's new and the battery came with it. Never let the battery run out, in fact i've only ever used the battery when moving from one room to the other. I may have let it run 100% falt when i forgot to switch the mains on one day.Was working fine a few days ago too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Normally the charger units have limiters on them to stop them from burning out , It may be a faulty battery in any case contact the supplier and get a new one sent out ... Just out of curiosity what make is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBProductions Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 hmmm not common to faults but yeah like I said send it back or request a new one. How long was it left to charge the first time round ? Also where was it purchased from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 (edited) Got it from commet. Paid £150 on an extra 2 years warrenty (becuase my first one started smoking and it's now just sat in my bedroom doing nothing) so alls good.When i first got the laptop i charged it fully and went from there, as the battery was flat when it came.

CBProductions Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Go back and slap them with a wet fish and demand a working battery , If they go in the back and come out saying theve tested it do not believe them as It take a while to test a battery. Hope all this has helped dude , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Yep, Ta very much. Was kind of hoping for a "you need to press this button and it'll work" kind of answer. But i think that was being a tad optimistic.Least i can still use it, and the battery basicly has a quick release so i can take it off in 3 seconds.
