I have a situation where "sometimes" like now, my battery is charging and have 10 minutes until full charge...
then it will show a quick message like "locking" and i have to restart, and when I do, it shows i have no charge left on the battery.
so now the laptop could go ping at any moment and i have to start all over again.
I have a new battery and new adapter, which worked perfectly before I went away for 4 weeks but now it just will not charge properly as before.
its driving me insane getting the orange or white light to work before I can get my laptop to work.... but the "time" lapse before it cuts out is getting longer.
i've done the bios thing to death
