    I am using a year-old laptop. Today the battery just stopped working altogether. My windows power manager says that it is running on AC power, even though it detects the 80% charged battery, and does not charge it. If i disconnect my AC power, the laptop shuts off due to it being unable to use the battery for some reason. What's wrong?

    which notebook do you have? it could just be that your battery is dead. if not, then perhaps the battery connection is off, but this is less likely.
