Battery stopped working after discharge

#1 Post by drmatt2020 » Thu Jul 14, 2005 6:42 pm

My T20 was left on while unplugged and completely discharged. After it was plugged back in, it would not run on battery. The power options says the battery is 99% charged, but unplugging it will turn off the laptop. Can this be fixed?

I'm worried because now it seems to be shutting off by itself after a number of hours (still plugged in of course). Can someone help?
