Battery Problem

    Hey, my battery appears to have stopped charging. Charger seems to be working ok as it's powering the laptop but if it disconnects the laptop powers off immediately. The battery indicator says "0% available (Plugged in, not charging)". Though every so often the charging animation starts again but only for a second or so and battery charge does not rise above 0%.

    I suspect I'll just have to buy a new battery but thought I'd check here in case anyone had any suggestions.

    It's an Acer Aspire 5536 and I'm running Windows Vista. Any help appreciated!

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I'd say its the battery, it could be some mad motherboard problem where the motherboard doesn't recognise the battery properly but that's highly unlikely. Batteries only usually last between 2 to 3 years depending on quality and frequency of use.
