Strange battery problem

[gilbertlsf]

Dear all:

I am using IBM laptop X41.
Today I found my battery unable to be charged ( ie, no orange lights upon installation of battery ), but the notebook is capable to detect the battery, and realizes its capacity now 33%.

But when I remove the adaptor and hope to use the battery, the laptop was forced down immediately ( as if there's no battery ).
When I checked the battery information utility, it shows that the STATUS is "NO ACTIVITY". ( while it should be "CHARGING" normally ).

I bought this battery in sept 2005 and has less than 30 charge cycles, is it dead?Could it be fixed?


attached the battery information screen cap link, please help! thanks!

HI moderator: what method could I show the pic out then? isn't that screenshots are usually the clearest way to show a problem?
