I disagree with you Green... it will work. What i do is i attached the laptop directly to its adapter and plug it to a volt regulator (to protect from power surge/fluctuations), turn it on without its battery... in this way i protect the battery from over charging and prolong its life span. That is when i'm at home. when on the go of course i use the battery...

S-hanker better try to reformat your computer, if problem persist better purchase new laptop...
