Laptop power problem.
I got the laptop out last night and put the charger on it...

A few hours later I come back (showing full charge)



I took it out this morning and found that it was not coming on...


So I put it back on the charger....I noticed something...

It shows no charge and a minute or so, it shows full charge....

yet If I unplug it while its on..... it shuts right off.... will not run at all with the battery....

Whats the deal ? It was fine up until now.... I got a few hours or run time before this...

What model of laptop. On my old Compuke you could run the battery calibration program to fix this problem (if your battery hasn't gone south).

It does have one, but it won't run at all with the battery...... It almost acts like the battery isn't connected..... but the charging circuit is...

I would say the battery has gone south.
