    So, Ive had my GX720 for about a month or so - I had a about 6 bad pixels on the LCD, got a new LCD and I thought Im set. I rarely use my notebook off AC power so today I had to and noticed I go from 100% to 7% right away and if I plug it in it says charging for about 30 seconds and then it thinks its at 100% again.....

    Anyone seen this?

    Just do a RMA request trough the MSI website or to the dealer/seller.
    Check this for more details regarding the RMA policy on battery.
