-- you may have a dead battery. the 94% charge may mean a false reading. in some laptops this is fixed by a bios update. i am just not sure with this model but reviews for this model say, it has a weak battery even right out of the box. having said that you might want to test the battery in a similar laptop if it still has some life in it. if it has life left in it, then i suggest you consider updating your BIOS and chipset drivers.
