    Hello~

    I'm having a battery problem with my N3530.

    I use this laptop with A/C power hooked on to it all the time and I just noticed that the battery charge indicator is stoped at 93% and won't charge any further.
    I tried to recharge the battery and now it stoped at 90%.
    So...the problem is that the battery does work but it's not charging to it's full capacity...

    what could be worng?

    You probably need to recalibrate the battery. If you were charging to 100% and then getting terribly low battery life, then the battery would be worn out.

    hmmm....I don't think the battery is worn out yet.
    So how do I recalibrate the battery?
