thanks for the reply. the battery light goes from amber to green and then the meter shows 100%. when i remov the ac power cord the laptop just shuts. but when the power is switched off from the mains, it stays on for 3-4 seconds and then goes off. I also noticed yesterday that suddenly the computer went to battery while in operation (green light to amber). but if i pull out the power cors, it just goes off. this happened a second time too and i then shutdown, removed the power cord and put it back in and it was back on power. light became green after a while of charging. i will check the bios. the battery connections seem ok. any other suggestions.
