    Hi,
    From last couple of days I am noticing that the battery chargin Icon in my windows 7 Task bar on the extreme right corner is halting. When ever I am plugging in the power adapter the icon shows that its charging but after few seconds or a minute it stopped showing that battery is charging and halts(its animation halts). On the other hand the battery is charging when I move my mouse over this halted icon i can see the increase in percentage of the battery power.

    can somebody guide me whats the issue?
    Regards

    i get that too sometimes. don't know what is causing that, so i just unplug the battery and reinsert it. that usually fixes it.

    a reboot definitely fixes it for me. i think it might be that i'm drawing too much power at that time, and what little wattage is left is not enough to quickly replenish the battery's storage.

    I get this when coming out of sleep or hibernation mode sometimes. It appears to be buggy.
