    Possibly a faulty battery. If it's new return it.
    Might also be worth removing the battery and with the laptop NOT connected to AC power press and hold the power button for 20 seconds or so.
    Refit battery and connect to AC and see if the same or not.

    I tried to charge the battery while powered off, removed and replaced back several times . Left it on charge for an hour while powered down . turned it on and that seemed to do the trick !
    thanks :)
