Hi, I have Compaq Presario 1800T laptop - when I unplug the power cable, the laptop goes off. The battery symbol always says the battery is recharging. I'm unsure if the problem is with the battery or the laptop. Thought I'd ask if anyone had the same problem before I shell out the $ for a new...

Presario CDS 954 tower --------------------------------------- Back when my only PC was a pokey Dell 486sx33 I wanted a 486dx4-100 badly but could never quite swing it.

He said that the computer just shut down on it's own and he heard strange...
